Chapter 170 Luring the Monster

Nie Yan hid behind a thicket and took a peek. He shook his head. This position wasn't suitable. He continued searching for the next spot, almost repeating the same actions.

"What's he doing?" Dusk glanced at the busy Nie Yan and asked, puzzled. Was it too early to aggro the monsters?

"He's probably not looking for an attack point. Those Elite Scorpions are completely out of his attack range," Fox Half-Awake said. He was also full of curiosity about Nie Yan's actions.

So far away, the crossbow bolts couldn't reach at all!

Nie Yan walked behind a tree and calculated the distance. It was just right. He raised his crossbow and shot in the direction of one of the Elite Scorpions.

*Swish, swish, swish,* three arrows shot out one after another.

Fox Half-Awake was shocked. Nie Yan was already aggroing the monsters. Wasn't it a bit too early? They hadn't fully recovered yet. Then he thought again. No, those Elite Scorpions were still outside Nie Yan's attack range.

As expected, Nie Yan's crossbow bolts slowly fell halfway through their flight and thudded into the ground.

The place where the arrows landed was about ten yards away from the nearest Elite Female Scorpion, and about thirteen yards away from the other two Elite Female Scorpions.

Ten yards was just the limit of the Elite Female Scorpion's hearing range!

This was the experience summed up from countless expert-level teams running the Ogre Miasma Swamp in his previous life!

Nie Yan knew these little tricks, and with his skill, he was naturally adept at them.

The three Elite Female Scorpions were pacing back and forth. The Scorpion closest to Nie Yan suddenly heard some noise and walked towards the source of the sound. After walking two or three yards, it stopped and scanned the surroundings. Finding nothing unusual, it turned to go back.

*Thud, thud, thud,* another three arrows landed about ten yards away from the Elite Female Scorpion. The Female Scorpion stopped again and continued to search for the source of the sound. Still finding nothing, it heard some more noises coming from further away.

Nie Yan repeated this action. Every time the Female Scorpion wanted to leave, he would run back two or three yards, hide, and continue shooting arrows to attract the Female Scorpion.

The Female Scorpion was lured out little by little, getting further and further away from the other two Female Scorpions and the Scorpion King behind it.

Fox Half-Awake and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock. They never expected that Nie Yan would use this method to guide the Elite Female Scorpion out.

In this way, they could defeat the Scorpion King and the three Elite Female Scorpions one by one.

This was a method they could never have imagined, and not everyone could do it. Nie Yan's grasp of distance and time was truly precise.

"Everyone, perk up! Nirvana Flame has shown his hand. We can't show weakness and let others look down on us. Don't forget, you are all elites selected from tens of thousands of players in the Holy Roman Empire. Show some spirit! Today, we might be able to clear the Elite-level Ogre Miasma Swamp." Fox Half-Awake stood up. Seeing Fox Half-Awake get up, the team members stood up one after another. Under Fox Half-Awake's command, they began to arrange their formation.

The final boss was the Lord-level Scorpion King and three Elite-level Female Scorpions. Even Fox Half-Awake thought that clearing the dungeon was hopeless. He didn't expect Nie Yan to do this, and the situation was completely different.

Perhaps they could really clear it!

The Elite Female Scorpion that Nie Yan lured out was isolated, about twenty yards away from the other two Elite Female Scorpions and the Scorpion King.

Nie Yan raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed at the Elite Scorpion through the crosshairs. *Swish, swish, swish,* three arrows shot out, hitting the Elite Scorpion.

The Elite Scorpion spotted Nie Yan, let out a low roar, and pounced on Nie Yan.

Nie Yan turned and ran towards the team.

"Everyone, get ready!" As soon as Nie Yan finished speaking, he found that Fox Half-Awake and the others had already set up their formation.

Raging Tides charged up with his shield, landed a Heroic Strike on the Elite Scorpion, taunted it, and then retreated, holding his shield up in a defensive stance.

The Elite Scorpion's aggro focused on Raging Tides. It slapped down with its paw. The powerful force transmitted through the shield knocked Raging Tides back a few steps.

-123, a damage value floated up from Raging Tides' head.

What terrifying attack damage!

Raging Tides only had a little over three hundred health. If it crit, then his situation would be precarious.

"Paladin, give Raging Tides a Protection from Evil!" Nie Yan shouted. The Elite Scorpion's claws had an evil attack effect, which was extremely damaging.

A faint light blue curtain fell on Raging Tides. The Elite Scorpion's attack damage immediately decreased by about 30%.

Fox Half-Awake and the others then realized that the Paladin's Protection from Evil was effective against the Elite Scorpion's attacks. The effect was better than a shield spell, and shield spells had durability that would quickly shatter under the Elite Scorpion's attacks. Protection from Evil, on the other hand, lasted for ten seconds. After ten seconds, another Paladin could cast Protection from Evil. That was why Nie Yan said they needed three Paladins who knew Protection from Evil. Because three Paladins taking turns to cast Protection from Evil on the shield warrior could basically form a cycle, allowing the Protection from Evil effect to continue.

The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner. The Elite Scorpion's health continued to drop under the stable output of the mages.

The Elite Scorpion opened its mouth and sprayed a mouthful of green poisonous mist on Raging Tides' face.

"Quickly remove the Blindness! Priest, dispel!" Nie Yan shouted in the team chat. A wave of light fell, and the green poisonous mist quickly dissipated.

Raging Tides, who was tanking the Elite Scorpion, felt a darkness before his eyes, causing him to lose his target and feel a little overwhelmed. Just then, his eyes lit up again. The removal of Blindness had a timely effect. At this time, Raging Tides found that the Elite Scorpion's aggro was about to break. If this Elite Scorpion broke free and rushed towards the mages behind him, then at least some mages would fall.

Demoralizing Shout!

Raging Tides used Demoralizing Shout, forcing back the Elite Scorpion, and after receiving a heal, he used Shield Bash, regaining the Elite Scorpion's aggro. He was sweating coldly. If the people behind him hadn't removed the Blindness effect on him in time, what awaited them was likely to be a team wipe.

Nie Yan's command played a crucial role.

The melee players surrounded the Elite Scorpion tightly, unleashing various attack skills. Nie Yan was also attacking non-stop from behind the Elite Scorpion.

Magic hummed, constantly attacking the Elite Scorpion's head. Damage values kept floating up from the Elite Scorpion's head.

The Elite Scorpion's health was about 5% left. Its fur turned a bright red, dazzling and eye-catching.

This guy was about to berserk!
