Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Qiao Xi's idea naturally had its reasons.

Compared to those completely unknown and unpredictable bizarre phenomena, or deeper distortions of rules, this "simple and brutal" method of controlling monster spawning seems...less terrifying to her.

It's like a chess player who abandons ingenious strategies and tricks, and instead flips the chessboard, overwhelming the opponent with the sheer number of pieces.

To put it bluntly, you've run out of ideas. You don't have a better solution!

Although the scene was extremely dangerous and the tactics were vicious, it was ultimately a display of "power" that could be understood and dealt with, rather than an irresistible crushing force of "rules".

“If this is all you have up your sleeve…” Qiao Xi’s eyes suddenly sharpened. While continuing to channel powerful area-of-effect magic to bombard the densest area of ​​monsters, she calmly issued new commands in the team chat.

If you think it's just about increasing quantity and optimizing positioning, then you're underestimating us.

This level of difficulty was far from enough to make her despair. On the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she knew her opponent's attack patterns, no matter how difficult it was, she could always find a way to deal with it.

This level of trickery is really nothing special.

Although the elite squad was initially thrown into disarray by the sudden monster horde and engaged in a fierce battle, the core members were seasoned veterans, and after the brief chaos, their fighting instincts quickly overcame their shock.

The warriors roared and steadied themselves, wielding their Judgment Sword and Well Moon Sword like windmills, weaving them into an iron barrier that slashed the first few Flower Kiss Spiders and Moon Demon Spiders that pounced on them, causing their juices to splatter and their carapaces to shatter.

They relied on each other, taking turns to absorb the damage, and managed to withstand the first wave of the spider swarm's attack. The mages behind them also calmed down from their initial panic and, under Qiao Xi's composed command, began to carry out efficient area clearing and targeted attacks.

Ice Roar, accompanied by a biting wind, exploded in the densest area of ​​spiders, freezing or slowing large numbers of monsters; Lightning Bolts precisely struck the powerful spiders attempting to break through the warriors' defenses, dealing considerable damage in flashes of electricity; several walls of fire were cleverly placed in key positions, dividing the battlefield, scorching the crowded monsters, and filling the air with a burnt smell.

The Taoists were even busier, sending out green and red poison talismans in alternating motions, accurately striking the two-headed Vajra and the spiders with high health, continuously reducing their defense and health; the Holy Armor and Ghost Shield spells constantly shone on the warriors, and healing spells also precisely landed on teammates with critical health.

The key to turning the tide of the battle was undoubtedly Xu Hao.

He seemed completely at ease facing the roaring, two-headed giant that was trying to repeat its previous ferocity.

The Dragon Slayer Blade seemed to come alive in his hands, each swing accompanied by a whistling sound as it cut through the air. He wasn't in a hurry to unleash high-damage skills, but instead relied on his keen intuition and rich experience to nimbly maneuver and dodge around the Two-Headed King Kong. The blade would occasionally glide across the King Kong's thick fur, producing a dull "thud" sound.

More importantly, the paralysis ring he wore on his left hand had become the two-headed king's nightmare. Almost every few attacks, the inconspicuous eerie light on the ring would quietly illuminate, instantly enveloping the king's massive body.

The ferocious monster's movements would suddenly freeze, as if a pause button had been pressed, all its attack intentions and actions frozen in mid-air. In that brief but deadly moment of paralysis, Xu Hao would never miss the opportunity.

He would immediately lower his waist and stand on his horse, gripping the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly with both hands, and use all his strength to slash at the Vajra's joints, neck, and other vulnerable parts, unleashing astonishing damage. Deep wounds that revealed bone were accompanied by gushing blackish-brown blood.

It has to be said that Xu Hao's martial arts skills have also improved a lot without him even realizing it. This is not something that can be reflected by intuitive numbers such as level and skill proficiency. It is simply a kind of combat instinct.

Furthermore, the Dragon Slayer Blade in Xu Hao's hand is actually an evolving weapon. It has killed many dragon-type monsters in Dragon Ridge, and its power is probably much stronger than the ordinary version.

At the same time, the other two warriors will seize this precious opportunity, roaring as they rush forward and slam their Judgment and Well Moon weapons into the paralyzed Vajra, maximizing their damage output.

The mages' single-target spells, such as lightning, would also take the opportunity to strike the Vajra's head precisely.

Under such intermittent control and concentrated fire, the two-headed king's health dropped rapidly at a visible rate, and its roars were filled with obvious pain and weakness.

Although the number of monsters remained enormous, with the two-headed giant and swarms of spiders still attacking relentlessly, the pressure on the elite team was greatly reduced as Xu Hao firmly held back the most threatening point and continuously created opportunities to attack. Their defensive line was stabilized, and their counterattacks became more methodical. The previously suffocating encirclement began to loosen, and the elite team gradually gained the upper hand in the siege.

Soon, the battle was nearing its end.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, burnt flesh, and the distinctive fishy smell of monsters.

Under Xu Hao's almost shameless paralysis ring control and the team's relentless concentrated fire, the two-headed kingfisher was already covered in wounds, its dark golden fur stained dark brown with blood, and its movements were slow and clumsy.

The moment the paralysis effect triggered again, its massive body stiffened abruptly, its roar caught in its throat. Xu Hao's eyes flashed with rage. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he roared and poured all his power into the Dragon Slayer Blade. The blade, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air and a streak of fire, slashed fiercely at the joint of Vajra's thick neck!

Fiery Sword Technique!

With a sickening thud, the blade sank deep into the bone, and dark brown blood spurted out like a fountain.

At the same time, several pre-prepared lightning bolts accurately struck its eyes, followed by an Ice Roar that covered its lower body with a thick layer of frost. The two warriors' Judgment and Well Moon, carrying their last ounce of fury, slammed heavily into the wounds that Xu Hao had inflicted on it.

The series of blows finally crushed the behemoth. The two-headed giant let out a short, desperate cry, and its massive body crashed backward, slamming heavily onto the cratered stone plaza, raising a cloud of dust and causing the ground to tremble.

Its life force quickly dissipated, leaving only a massive, gradually cooling corpse. With one major threat eliminated, the team's pressure eased dramatically. Qiao Xi immediately adjusted the commands: the mages unleashed their area-of-effect spells even more recklessly on the remaining spider swarm, while the Taoists focused on healing the warriors at the front.

With the leader monster defeated, the remaining spiders, though still numerous, were exhausted and quickly wiped out like a tidal wave under the counterattack of the elite team after they regained their footing.

Frost froze, lightning roared, walls of fire scorched, and swords flashed. As the spiders' sharp hissing grew fainter and fainter, until the last Flower-Kiss Spider was cut in two by a warrior, the entire square finally fell completely silent.

The team members, leaning on their weapons, were panting heavily. Many of them were injured, and the mages and Taoists had also greatly depleted their mana.
