"Brother Nie Yan has a good eye! To actually find such a good spot!" Huanghun said admiringly. His experience was much broader than Yulan, Baikaishui, and the others. After all, he often followed Fox, the guild leader, to difficult dungeons. He was very knowledgeable about the skills needed to deal with dungeons.

"Tell me, what's his intention?" Although Yulan was the team leader, their team was only a mediocre one and not very proficient in dungeon raiding. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been wiped out in the simple-difficulty Treant Forest dungeon.

"When raiding dungeons, one important task is to find a suitable spot to attack a single monster within a cluster, drawing one or two away to be defeated separately. Usually, a thief uses a crossbow for this. I'm sure you all know this. Those eighteen treants are very close together. Disturbing one will alert the others, which must be the difficulty of an expert dungeon. Even small checkpoints are this difficult. I was observing earlier and couldn't find a good place to attack. It wasn't until Brother Nie Yan climbed up the tree that I realized it. That's the best spot. Without excellent vision, you wouldn't find it! If our team had a thief like that, our survival rate in dungeons would increase by at least 30%." Huanghun explained, not hiding his admiration for Nie Yan.

Yulan was silent. She thought she was capable of leading a team well, but now she realized she was still a bit naive.

When Yaoyao looked at Nie Yan, a strange light flickered in her eyes. Nie Yan's status in her heart had been upgraded. He was the person she admired most besides Sister Yulan.

"However, even if you find the best spot, it takes a thief's sharp eyes and agility to draw a small number of treants away from the group. Even a slight deviation could lead to a wipe if all the treants are alerted. Even elite thieves find it hard to avoid mistakes completely," Huanghun said to Nie Yan, a little nervously.

Standing among the branches, Nie Yan hung his dagger at his waist and took out his crossbow, resting it on his left arm. He looked through the sight at the group of moving treants in front of him. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At this moment, Nie Yan was also extremely nervous. He held the lives of all nineteen people in the team in his hands!

The air was still. Nie Yan felt a blankness around him, with only the crossbow in his hand and the target in the sight remaining.

Time passed by, second by second, and he was still waiting for an opportunity.

Most of the treants were still, only one or two moving occasionally. The distance between each treant was only about two yards, an extremely dangerous distance.

The eighteen people behind him were all watching Nie Yan's every move. They hadn't felt anything before, but after listening to Huanghun's explanation, they realized their lives were in Nie Yan's hands. If the treants in front discovered them and surrounded them, this Treant Forest dungeon was closed. Where could they escape?

Nie Yan stood on the tree branch, holding the crossbow, motionless, like a still statue.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Nie Yan's eyes, the sight, and the treants in the distance formed a straight line.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blew through the forest, and leaves fell like raindrops, like fluttering butterflies.

Nie Yan glanced at the falling leaves drifting in the wind. The wind speed was moderate.

Suddenly, Nie Yan raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger. The crossbow trembled violently. After shooting one arrow, the direction shifted violently, and three arrows shot out. The flight path of the three arrows in the air was not a straight line, but instead they shot towards three different directions.

"It's over, Brother Nie Yan's hand trembled!" Huanghun said in shock. He knew that when shooting a crossbow, your hand absolutely couldn't shake or be nervous. Even a small mistake could cost the whole team their lives.

The person firing this arrow, regardless of their class, first had to have a strong mentality, because this arrow determined the fate of the whole team. Under this high degree of psychological pressure, even a highly skilled veteran could make a mistake due to nervousness, and the result of a mistake would be an inevitable wipe.

"It seems Nie Yan's mental fortitude isn't strong enough," Huanghun thought.

Hearing Huanghun's words, everyone in the team felt their hearts rise to their throats.

"Baikaishui, get ready to block position 289.288.212!" After shooting the arrows, Nie Yan didn't even look to see if they hit their mark. He turned and jumped down from the tree branch, running towards the team.

Huanghun and the others looked towards where the treants were moving. The first arrow passed through the treants and struck a tree trunk in the far distance. The second arrow hit a short tree in the west. Neither hit a treant. The two arrows pierced the bark, making two dull thudding sounds, alerting the nearby treants. More than a dozen treants searched for the source of the sound.

The remaining arrow struck one of the closest treants. Two treants discovered Nie Yan and pounced towards him, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

These two treants quickly broke away from the treant cluster and fell behind, chasing after Nie Yan.

Only two were drawn away, without alerting the other treants!

"Damn, amazing, masterful." Huanghun exclaimed. The others hadn't seen what happened clearly, but he had. Nie Yan was holding a repeating crossbow. The three arrows shot to three different locations. The first two arrows drew away the other treants, and one arrow drew two treants over. When Nie Yan used the crossbow, his hand wasn't trembling, but instead he was drastically changing the shooting direction! He had only heard of this superb skill in legends.

The same crossbow had completely different effects when used by different people!

Huanghun quietly recorded this video. Without the person's permission, this kind of video couldn't be published on the website, but it could be shared among friends. He thought he should show it to Fox, the guild leader.

What is a top-tier thief!

The entire process of drawing the monsters could be used as a textbook by most thieves.

Dealing with only two treants wasn't difficult. Baikaishui blocked the position, stopping one treant, and Nie Yan stunned the treant chasing behind him. The melee players surrounded them, and the mages fired magic spells. Boom, boom, boom, the magic landed on the treants and exploded.

The treants swept their arms, knocking back the melee players. Baikaishui roared loudly, refusing to retreat, and used Shield Bash.

"The key to being a shield warrior is that the impact doesn't have to be strong, but it must be stable. No matter what, the center of gravity can't be forward." Nie Yan glanced at Baikaishui's attack stance. To be honest, Baikaishui's skills were decent, but he was still several levels below the experts in Nie Yan's mind.

In fact, in his previous life, there were countless people stronger than Nie Yan. Now, everyone was just entering the game, and various combat skills were still being explored and familiarized with. But Nie Yan was different. He had played as a thief for ten years, and all kinds of combat skills were already deeply ingrained in his mind. There was a saying that practice makes perfect. After ten years of experience, Nie Yan's skills had far surpassed any current player. These amazing skills that Nie Yan was now displaying would be used by every expert ten years later. Nie Yan wasn't confident in performing some of the truly difficult skills. Those were the real ultimate techniques!

Baikaishui adjusted his attack stance. He hadn't been very convinced by Nie Yan before, but Nie Yan's move just now, although he hadn't seen it clearly, had indeed shocked him. He naturally categorized Nie Yan as a super expert, and he deeply believed what Nie Yan said.

After Baikaishui adjusted his stance, although the Boss's attacks were fierce, he stood more firmly, his steps were firm, and the pressure he was under was greatly reduced.
