Qin Huai moved smoothly, dodging effortlessly while keeping his Elf Thief steady, making no mistakes at all.
Old Steed in the Stable watched the sword shadows dance around him, his eyes fixed on the Damage Value. He kept an eye on the hatred levels of his Elf Thief and the other two Elf Thieves, his movements fluid and precise, not falling short of the Black-Clad Thief. With a background in large guild raids, their coordination was impeccable.
Yan Yan's bowstring hummed continuously as sharp arrows flew out with deadly speed. The Health Bar of the Elf Thief plummeted rapidly under her fierce attacks, her skills unleashing wave after wave of damage.
Facing three Elf Thieves, they should have felt no pressure at all.
The unpredictable and cunning attacks of the Black-Clad Thief often allowed for spontaneous adjustments within the trio's teamwork, while Old Steed in the Stable had plenty of experience from large-scale battles, making it all seem effortless.
However—
A problem arose.
Qin Huai glanced at the Hatred Value that had risen again for the third Elf Thief—Yan Yan's target—and felt a twinge of surprise.
When she fought alone, she was ferocious, her output akin to a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment. But such a playstyle could easily lead to mistakes in a team setting.
She appeared calm at all times, yet her damage output was explosive.
But little did he know that Yan Yan's ruthless style had been honed during her past life on the run. For her, perhaps this would be her only chance to unleash such fury. Each time she fought, she poured everything into it!
Every moment she held back was a moment of surrender; in the perilous chase she faced, all she could do was unleash relentless attacks. Her aggressive style and precise strikes were built upon countless bones and experiences accumulated through hardship.
“Silent, watch your control.”
Old Steed in the Stable tightened his grip, raising his own Elf Thief's Hatred Value just enough to stabilize their triangular formation.
Yan Yan tightened her grip on the Ink Longbow and brought the damage output interface into her line of sight.
Typically, players rarely pull up the damage output interface during a fight, as it can be quite distracting and disrupt their combat state. However, at this moment, to prevent her fluctuating Hatred Value from triggering the three Elf Thieves into a frenzy, she had no choice but to do so.
With cautious output, she controlled her attack state to manage her Hatred Value level. Yan Yan felt uncomfortable, and the other two felt the same way.
The three Elf Thieves still had 7% of their Health Bar remaining.
“Silent, pay attention to the rhythm; we’re wasting too much time right now.”
Even without Old Steed in the Stable's reminder, she was aware of the time being wasted. However, the skills available to her were limited to Rapid Fire, Double Shot, Floating Arrow, and Shock Arrow.
She couldn’t use Rapid Arrow Barrage or Explosive Arrow; doing so would cause her Hatred to spike. Even a rogue known for high Critical Hits wouldn’t be able to keep up, let alone a warrior focused on stable damage output.
She awkwardly brushed aside some hair that had fallen onto her forehead.
For someone who was always in control and directing others, it was the first time she showed a look of helplessness, which made Qin Huai's heart ache unexpectedly.
He smiled nonchalantly and said, “How about this? Don’t worry about calculating your Hatred level, don’t think about skill damage issues, and don’t pay attention to the damage output interface,” he added, surprised that she even knew about it—most players couldn’t see each other's interfaces. “Just listen to my commands, how does that sound, big Leader?”
“Commands?”
“Yeah, this triangular formation is the easiest to handle. If you don’t believe me, just ask Elder Steed President.”
Seeing Old Steed in the Stable nodding in agreement, Yan Yan took a deep breath and replied, “Alright, you direct me.”
The command was essentially guiding Yan Yan’s individual attack output; Old Steed in the Stable didn’t need any pointers to know when to use Three-Stage Slash or when to use Double Slash.
"I'll use my strongest Attack Skills when I'm heavy, throw some minor skills when I'm light, and hold back when I'm empty. Got it?"
Nodding.
"Good, then let's take turns."
Old Steed in the Stable nodded, and Qin Huai turned to face Yan Yan directly, saying:
"Heavy."
Rapid Arrow Barrage!
Explosive Arrow!
Immediately after, Old Steed in the Stable's Three-Stage Slash and Combo Points were activated in an instant, while the Black-Clad Thief unleashed Bone Extraction and Chokehold skills, causing the health bars of three Elf Thieves to drop sharply.
"Light."
Rapid Fire!
Double Shot!
Old Steed in the Stable twisted the tip of his sword, executing Double Slash and Charge Slash!
The Black-Clad Thief connected with Stun Baton, instantly gaining three Combo Points.
"Heavy."
Rapid Arrow Barrage, Explosive Arrow!
Three-Stage Slash, Double Slash!
Throat Slitting and Bone Picking to Blindness!
"Empty."
The three of them used their basic attack skills, and while the skills were on cooldown, the threat level of the three Elf Thieves remained at the same level.
Seeing the effect, Yan Yan's eyes brightened, a stark contrast to her previous gloom.
After exchanging glances, they all exhaled lightly, following Qin Huai's rhythm, maintaining a strangely stable state in their attacks.
As they continued, Qin Huai hardly needed to call out for Guidance. Yan Yan had grasped the rhythm and seamlessly integrated into the attack tempo of the other two.
In less than four minutes of attacking, their efficiency was exponentially higher than the previous five minutes.
The monster's Health Bar dropped by 5%.
"Heart, the Elf Thief has a combo."
Yan Yan spoke up to remind them.
Qin Huai looked at her in surprise, suppressing his confusion. He quickly nodded in affirmation to Old Steed in the Stable, who had cast a questioning glance.
Old Steed in the Stable then relaxed, his gaze fixed intently on the Elf Thief's initiation move, paying close attention to the combo.
As the moment passed in the Old Steed in the Stable, Qin Huai met the girl's slightly dimmed eyes. In her unwavering gaze, he suddenly felt that his earlier doubts were not so important anymore. The carefree charm resurfaced in his Peach Blossom Eyes, filled with trust, causing the girl’s heart to skip a beat.
She regretted what she had blurted out just moments ago.
How could she, who had never faced an Elf Thief, know about the combo moves? This question briefly crossed both Old Steed in the Stable and Qin Huai's minds.
If the Dungeon Guide could use information released by Official Information to write based on calculations and speculation, then how could she possibly know about Hidden Monsters that had never been disclosed in any Official Information?
At that moment, just when she felt she might be exposed, he unhesitatingly provided her with cover in front of Old Steed in the Stable.
He made Old Steed in the Stable believe that they had come prepared to test and gather data.
After all, many professional testing teams engaged in such activities to obtain data.
Once they leveled up, they would try various dungeons and maps to collect data and then profit from selling that data.
Old Steed in the Stable and East Wind Arrives had once thought that Yan Yan was such an entity.
It wasn't until they delved deeper that they realized she didn’t seem to have such a team; she appeared more like a lone wolf.
Now, seeing Qin Huai's affirmation, Old Steed in the Stable mentally labeled Yan Yan as part of the Shadow Alliance.
Qin Huai's actions quietly resolved Yan Yan's longstanding concerns. (To be continued.)
