Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

The sudden fog turned the previously dispersed advance teams into a quagmire, making progress extremely difficult. Many teams lost their way in the dense fog, and there were even instances of different teams colliding with each other, severely impacting the efficiency of the advance.

“This can’t go on,” Qiao Xi said in the guild channel. Her voice was still calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in her tone. “There’s something strange about this fog. We can’t keep blindly stumbling around like this.”

"Sister Qiao Xi, do you have any ideas?" Miao Yu asked, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

“Our biggest problem right now is that we can’t pinpoint the location of the other squads,” Joe quickly analyzed. “This makes it easy for us to get lost, and we might even be picked off one by one on Thursday.”

"What should we do? The fog is too thick; we can't see anything around us at all," a member complained in the guild chat.

After a moment's thought, Qiao Xi proposed a plan: "Each team should select one member with a quick mind to serve as a liaison."

"A liaison officer?" Xu Hao asked, puzzled. "What are they doing?"

“These liaison officers will temporarily leave their original squads,” Qiao Xi explained. “Then, these liaison officers will form their own team. However, they themselves do not need to leave their original squads and will continue to operate with their squads.”

"Oh..." Xu Hao seemed to understand something. "You want to use the team channel to locate us?"

“That’s right,” Qiao Xi confirmed his guess. “The liaison officer can open the system interface at any time, allowing us to see the location of our teammates in the team channel.”

In this way, each squad can obtain the approximate location of other squads in real time through a liaison officer. Although not down to specific coordinates, they can at least know each other's relative positions.

"Brilliant!" Xu Hao slapped his thigh. "This way, we'll have a real-time 'radar'!"

“Then, I will take overall command,” Qiao Xi continued. “I will adjust the routes of each squad based on the information provided by the liaison officer to prevent everyone from getting lost and to steadily advance towards Crimson Moon Canyon.”

Miao Yu immediately responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Soon, the team leaders began selecting suitable liaisons. These candidates not only needed to be quick-witted and have fast reflexes, but also needed to have a certain awareness of their surroundings.

"Let me do it!"

"I can too!"

……

In each squad, people kept volunteering.

The selected liaisons left their original teams and were quickly added to a new one, led by Qiao Xi herself.

"Everyone," Qiao Xi said in the team channel, "your mission is extremely important. You are not only the eyes of each squad, but also the eyes of the entire Liyue Harbor. You must always pay attention to the situation around you and report to me in a timely manner."

"Understood!" the liaison officers replied in unison.

With everything prepared, the Liyue Fortress teams set off again. This time, with the liaison officer's guidance, the coordination between the various teams was noticeably smoother. They no longer stumbled around like headless flies, but instead advanced methodically towards Crimson Moon Canyon.

Qiao Xi, stationed at the central command, continuously adjusted the routes of each squad based on the information constantly relayed by the liaison officers. In her mind, it was as if there was a huge map, clearly marking the location of each squad.

"Third team, move fifty paces to the left front!"

"Fifth team, stand by!"

"Seventh team, watch your right flank, there might be an ambush!"

……

Qiao Xi's voice kept ringing out in the team channel, directing the various squads to advance.

Although the fog remained thick, the Liyue tribe no longer lost their way. Like a sharp dagger, they cleaved through the fog, advancing step by step towards Crimson Moon Canyon.

Visibility remained blurred in the mist, but almost simultaneously, all the teams in Liyue Harbor were attacked by the first wave of monsters.

"Ah! What the hell is that?!" A cry of surprise rang out from the third team. Xiaoyu, the mage in the team, was terrified by a giant spider that suddenly emerged from the ground.

The spider was as big as a calf, covered in a dark blue carapace, with sharp bony spurs on its back. Eight thick legs, as thick as tree trunks, supported its massive body. Its fangs protruded from its mouth, and its eyes glowed a terrifying red light in the darkness.

"It's a Sirius Spider! Everyone be careful, its venom is very potent!" The captain of the third team, an experienced female warrior (an ancient master), immediately shouted a warning while brandishing her weapon and charging forward.

Meanwhile, Team Seven encountered another, even more bizarre monster. Spiders with purple carapaces and fluorescent patterns emerged from the mist like ghosts.

They have flat bodies, multiple pairs of compound eyes on their heads, and wing-like appendages on their backs, allowing them to glide briefly.

"It's a Moon Demon Spider! Everyone be careful of their paralyzing attacks!" The captain of Team Seven, a composed Taoist sister, quickly released a poison spell while directing her pet to entangle the monster.

"How can these spiders fly?!" a young female warrior in the group exclaimed. She swung her weapon but found it difficult to hit these monsters whose trajectories were unpredictable.

The other teams also encountered different species of spiders. Team Five encountered flower-kissing spiders, which are small spiders that are pink or peach-colored all over, with petal-like markings on their abdomens and long, thin, needle-like chelicerae.

They moved swiftly and were adept at group attacks. The pink venom they spat greatly reduced the defenses of the five teams, leaving them in a state of chaos.

Team Nine encountered Phantom Spiders, semi-transparent grayish-white monsters with bellies swollen like balloons and bodies covered with black vascular patterns.

They don't attack directly, but they constantly summon small, exploding spiders called "Exploding Spiders," causing great trouble for Team Nine.

This spider isn't in the original work, so it's probably another one of Thursday's creations.

"These exploding spiders are so annoying!" complained a mage from Team Nine, who had to frequently use Fire Wall to keep the exploding spiders away.

The most difficult task probably belonged to Team Twelve. They encountered the Black-sworded Spider, a monster with an entirely black body like charcoal, a huge head, serrated chelicerae, and a thick, armor-like carapace on its back. It had extremely high physical defense, and its attacks also had a knockback effect.

"Warriors, hold on! Mages, unleash your attacks!" The captain of Team Twelve, a battle-hardened warrior, shouted commands while brandishing her weapon. But the Black-Edged Spider's defense was simply too high; the mages' attacks had little effect, while the warriors were knocked back and scattered by the Black-Edged Spider's knockback effect.

What troubled the women of Liyue Pavilion even more were the highly venomous spiders. These spiders looked somewhat similar to the venomous spiders they had encountered in the Bichon Forest when they were young, only they were dozens of times stronger.

This inevitably led them to underestimate their opponents during the battle, and the spider's appearance itself was likely to frighten the girls. For a time, all the teams in Liyue Pavilion were caught in a fierce battle.

"These spiders are so troublesome!"

"My potion is almost gone!"

"Hold on, everyone! Don't panic!"

……

Anxious voices from various teams could be heard continuously in the guild channel.
