"Should we make a retreat plan in case something goes wrong?" Xiao Jie couldn't help but say.

Haomie nodded: "Of course, I will arrange this later."

Xiao Jie didn't say anything more. The guest should follow the host's wishes. Since he was looking for someone to help him curry favor with him, he should be cautious in his words and actions before the other party made any obvious mistakes.

At least until now, the command ability demonstrated by Haomie is still remarkable.

Although the action plan has been arranged, tasks still need to be assigned to determine who will carry out which part.

Haomie said: "Everyone has heard these steps clearly, right? If there are no problems, we will start to arrange the personnel. Everyone should do their best and start to sign up."

"Let me deal with the gong-beating monster." The first person to speak was the Fondant Steamed Cake.

This guy's profession is a beast tamer and a part-time sharpshooter. He is quite good at using bows and arrows and can easily kill small monsters in seconds.

"I will be responsible for dealing with the two monsters near the closing mechanism." Ye Luo also signed up.

"I will be responsible for jumping onto the village wall and killing the other monsters." Xiao Jie also reported the work he could do. Since the gold would be divided based on performance, he naturally had to work hard to demonstrate his value.

I can’t say for sure that I’ll get the MVP, but at least I’ll get the full gold medal.

The Drunken Swordsman said, "I will be responsible for blocking the stairs and clearing out the monsters under the village wall."

The tasks were quickly assigned, but in the end there were still two biggest troubles left.

Once we break into the mountain stronghold, we will need to send someone to lure out Niu Dali, and block the stairs between the front and back strongholds after Niu Dali passes through the gap.

"I'll be responsible for blocking the mouth." An Ran said.

"I'm afraid it won't be enough for you alone. Although this passage is not wide, it is not too narrow either."

"And me!" I also hurriedly signed up because I wanted to become an immortal.

He hasn't had any chance to show his strength yet, and it seems that if he doesn't take action now, he might not even get half the gold.

Haomie said calmly, "Are you sure? This job is not easy. You have to face the attack of hundreds of monsters."

I want to become an immortal but I said confidently: "Don't worry, I am very powerful!"

Xiao Jie was also a little worried. After all, this was a high-end game. With 8 people taking on a copycat, there wasn't much room for error.

So I sent a private message.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Cheng Xian, don't force yourself. If you don't contribute, you won't get any money at most. But if you can't keep your mouth shut, you will be fined, and it will be easy for something to go wrong.

There is not only a mechanism for dividing the money, but also a mechanism for fines.

I Want to Become an Immortal: Don’t worry, Brother Feng, I am very powerful now and will never embarrass you.

As he spoke, he put on several new pieces of equipment all at once.

But I saw that I was wearing a dark heavy iron armor. Except for the breastplate which was still the Nether Soul Iron Armor, the other pieces were obviously a set of standard equipment. The armor plates were stacked layer upon layer and looked very thick.

"I just bought a set of heavy infantry armor. The full set of equipment adds 120 toughness and 240 body defense. With this standing ability, I am not afraid of any monsters or demons."

Xiao Jieqi asked, "Where did you get the money?"

"During the last guild event, I exchanged all my points for silver, which I bought from the auction house."

Xiao Jie thought that the money was well spent.

Because of the two talents of "Carrying Heavy Weights Forward" and "Thousands of Powers of Divine Strength" in "I Want to Become an Immortal", most players need to weigh the balance between defense and weight and dare not wear too heavy armor. Even generals usually have a few pieces of leather armor under their iron armor, but he does not need to consider this at all. He almost does not need to consider the weight of the equipment, so he can stack armor as much as he wants.

The heavier the armor, the higher its defense usually is. Although the suit I Want to Become an Immortal is only of green quality, its defense is higher than ordinary blue and purple equipment.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the weight is as high as 300+. It is difficult for ordinary players to move after wearing it, let alone fighting. But for me, there is no problem at all.

Once you put on this set of equipment, you will look as majestic as a humanoid mecha.

This made Haomie and others stunned.

Hao Mie said: "That's right, then An Ran and I Yu Chengxian will be responsible for blocking the way, I will lure out Niu Dali, and I, Jiu Jianxian, and Yin Yue Sui Feng will be responsible for the front line, Fan Tang Fagao will be the second line of support, and Zi Shan will be responsible for clearing the field.

Ye Luo, you are responsible for roaming around the periphery, dealing damage or clearing out the spawned monsters.

"no problem."

Everyone responded one after another.

Haomie said: "Before we can count the victory, we must first count the defeat. Once things are beyond our control, we need three people with good Qinggong skills to stay behind to cover the rear. I will be one of them. Who else will come?"

"Count me in," said the Drunken Swordsman.

"And me." Xiao Jie also said.

The three of them are both in the front row and at the back, so the gold market is basically stable.

Since the best performers will get the full gold, the average performers will get half the gold, and the worst performers will get no gold, everyone should contribute their best and try their best to complete all the tasks.

Xiao Jie also realized that this arrangement was actually much simpler than calculating points based on major and minor achievements, but it was only limited to small teams like this. If it was a large group of dozens of people, they would inevitably need to tolerate the existence of some individual slackers, and they would also have to give a clearer reward mechanism to the warriors who took the lead.

"Alright, the plan has been decided, let's prepare for action! All units in position!"

Ye Luo hid in the shadows and sneaked silently into the darkness behind the village wall.

Fondant Steamed Cake drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the monster next to the bell tower on the village wall.

Xiao Jie and Jiu Jianxian also found their positions and prepared to jump.

“Fondant steamed cake—get started!”

Secret technique - rock-splitting explosive arrow!

Whoosh—Boom! This arrow was as powerful as an armor-piercing bullet, directly blowing up the monster's head. The bow and arrow actually had the effect of an anti-material sniper rifle.

"Oh no! The enemy is attacking! Close the gate quickly!" a little demon screamed.

"Ye Luo—take action!"

The two little demons at the door were about to turn the mechanism when a figure suddenly emerged in the darkness behind them.

Ghost curse—ghost blinds the eyes!

A ball of black mist directly plunged one little demon into darkness. At the same time, Ye Luo's Yuchang sword suddenly stabbed another little demon in the back.

Backstab—Soul-chasing Sword Dance—Consecutive Sword Attacks!
This Yuchang sword can be used as both a dagger and a sword-like weapon. It is a perfect combination of assassination and swordsmanship, and can directly take away a little demon.

"Drunken Swordsman, Suifeng—take action!"

Xiao Jie and Drunken Swordsman used their Qinggong skills at the same time.

Flying clouds chasing the moon!

Ladder to the clouds!
Two figures landed on the village wall at the same time, one with a sword as bright as snow, the other with a sword as bright as frost, and they madly killed the monsters.

"Let's go in!" Haomie said, and walked straight towards the main entrance.

Behind the gate, a bull demon wearing iron armor and holding a big axe saw him and immediately rushed towards him. However, Haomie did not dodge or evade. Instead, he concentrated and punched out suddenly.

Combat skills——Gas and Thunder Style!

He rushed in front of the Green Bull Monster in an instant, leaving a trail of afterimage at such a fast speed, and punched the Green Bull Monster in the heart.

After throwing a punch, Haomie did not continue chasing, but just walked forward calmly. The green bull monster stood still for a moment, and a bloody hole suddenly exploded in its chest, and its health bar instantly returned to zero.

I, Yu Chengxian, followed behind him and watched in amazement. Then I looked at the armor on my body and suddenly felt less confident.

By the time a few people walked into the mountain stronghold, Xiao Jie and Jiu Jianxian had already cleared out the miscellaneous soldiers on and under the walls.

"Brother Suifeng is indeed a master swordsman. I admire you."

"Haha, no problem, Brother Jianxian's swordsmanship is also superb."

“Haha, no, no, it’s still a little bit inferior to Brother Suifeng’s peerless swordsmanship.”

Xiao Jie was stunned, and suddenly it dawned on him that it was no wonder that the other party was so arrogant at first and then respectful, with such a huge change in attitude. It turned out that the change in the other party's attitude was because of this - peerless swordsmanship!
Considering that the other party was only a swordsman at level 30, Xiao Jie roughly guessed his intention.

To change the job to Sword Saint requires Grandmaster-level swordsmanship and a peerless sword technique. I'm afraid this guy wants to learn from me.

"I say, you two have had enough. Why are you still acting in a martial arts movie?" An Ran joked, "Hurry up and prepare for the next stage."

Haomie was already prepared at this time.

"Everyone take your positions and get ready for battle. I'm about to take action." Everyone hurriedly found their positions. Fondant Cake summoned a pet, which turned out to be a giant wild boar that was more than three meters long.

Daju had been summoned by Xiao Jie a long time ago, so at least he could gain some experience from him.

After leveling up along the way, Daju has reached level 15. He has some combat power and can easily fight a little monster alone.

However, for safety reasons, Xiao Jie still asked Daju to find a safe place to stay. There was no need to let the little guy take risks unless it was absolutely necessary.

Looking back at the other people, they were all standing in very particular positions.

If it was the Luoyang branch that fought the BOSS, they would have to be busy for a while just to arrange the positions of each person. However, this time there was no need to make any deliberate arrangements, as everyone automatically found the most suitable position to prepare.

Xiao Jie watched and nodded secretly. Although An Ran's small team was smaller in number, it was obvious that they were all experts and they cooperated very well.

The only lame thing is that I want to become an immortal, so if I want to block the door I have to be close to the door, but when Niu Dali comes out I can't attract the BOSS's attention, and for a while I don't know where to find the right place.

"Chengxian, come here!" Xiao Jie did a somersault and landed behind a broken wall.

"You use a hidden stance, and once the boss is lured out, you can just smash the wall open and get into position quickly."

"Ah, I see!" I'm not stupid to want to become an immortal, it's just that I couldn't wrap my mind around it for a while.

Seeing that everyone was in position, Haomie did a somersault and flew into the inner village. Soon, bursts of shouts and screams were heard from inside the village.

"Come on monster, someone is killing monsters!"

"Kill!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Up, up, up!"

"Quickly inform the king!"

"what--!"

A moment later, a figure flew out, it was Hao Mie.

"Here it comes!" he said in a deep voice, turning around and facing behind him.

Then they saw a large group of monsters swarming out of the mountain village. Leading them was a minotaur who was three meters tall, holding a solid iron mace and wearing iron armor with mountain patterns. It was Niu Dali.

Niu Dali (Lord of Erniu Village): Level 26 leader-level BOSS, HP: 3800.

"Human, where are you running to? How dare you come to Erniu Mountain and act wild—Moo!"

Spread your hooves and charge forward violently!
The two little demons rushing in front of Niu Dali wanted to show off, but were knocked to the sides by Niu Dali's charge.

Niu Dali was as unstoppable as a locomotive. He rushed down from a high position and pounced straight towards Haomie.

Charge—cleave!

As expected of a former security guard, his moves were quite skilled in martial arts.

This time, Haomie did not dare to fight head-on.

Use the light skill - Nine Changes of the Sky!
He leaped into the air and dodged Niu Dali's powerful attack, which had rushed past his head before Niu Dali could turn around.

Haomie walked in the air in mid-air and launched a series of swift kicks at Niu Dali's back.

After the kick, he did a backflip and shouted loudly before he landed.

"Everyone—in position!"

An Ran let out a roar and transformed into a giant bear more than three meters tall, rushing towards the gap. I, who wanted to become an immortal, also smashed the broken wall with an axe and jumped to the gap with a clanging sound. The man and the bear blocked the stairs going down.

I want to become an immortal, so I activate the demon-subduing spiritual light and the halo of the Hades Iron Armor at the same time.

Demon-Subduing Aura: Demons, ghosts, monsters and other units within a 30-step range around you will be suppressed by the aura, with all attributes reduced by 10%, and there is a 20% chance of failure in their attacks on you.

Netherworld Breath: Reduces the movement speed of all units within a 10-step range by 10% and the attack speed by 5% (ineffective against undead creatures).

Giant Bear Strike!

Sweep away the demons!

Boom! The two of them directly blocked the monsters rushing towards them at the gap.

At the same time, others also attacked Niu Dali.

Xiao Jie was on the left, Drunken Swordsman was on the right, and they attacked with their sword and knife at the same time.

Cut in two with one stroke—air splitting flash!

Sword energy cuts!
Swipe!

The sword and knife energy hit Niu Dali at the same time, and the two men took advantage of the situation to attack.

Secret Technique - Sweeping away the remaining clouds with a whirlwind! Xiao Jie's body spun like a whirlwind, and the blade cut dozens of wounds on Niu Dali's body.

Secret meaning - a sea of ​​blood! The Drunken Sword Immortal swung his sword in all directions, slashing out seven or eight scarlet sword energies, and adding another seven or eight hideous blood marks.

The first move is a powerful killing move.

Behind Niu Dali, Hao Mie used a series of swift attacks, and his fists full of internal strength madly hit the back of the BOSS.

This wave of continuous attacks instantly reduced Niu Dali's health to more than 700.

Moo!
Sweep and strike!

The mace swept out suddenly. This move was originally a very common fighting skill, but because Niu Dali was huge in size and his weapon was also huge, the range almost covered a distance of five or six meters around him, and the attack power was even greater.

The three of them didn't dare to take the attack head-on, and dodged at the same time, almost at the same speed. Fantang Fagao and Ye Luo in the distance fired bows, arrows and flying knives, adding another wave of damage.

Niu Dali looked at the fondant steamed cake suddenly. Before he could figure out which one to do first, Hao Mie approached him again and appeared beside Niu Dali.

Pulse-cutting finger! (Paralysis) Snap, a finger poked Niu Dali and made him stand still on the spot. Although this move only paralyzed the BOSS for one or two seconds, it was enough.

Two winds pierce my ears! (Dizzy) Bang! He slams his palms into his temples, and a whirlpool-like pattern suddenly appears on Niu Dali's head.

Niu Dali hit with a stick, but the speed was obviously much slower, allowing Hao Mie to launch a third attack.

Jade-shattering palm! (Internal injury) Bang! A palm hit Niu Dali right in the heart, and Niu Dali was actually hit stiffly, and his attack was directly interrupted.

Long Xiang Po Kong Quan! (off balance) Soared into the air, he threw an uppercut that hit Niu Dali's chin hard, knocking him backwards to the ground.

Xiao Jie was stunned. Damn, is he so cool?
Although the damage of each move is not very high, each move can produce a control effect, which is simply a combo in an arcade game.

Moreover, he can even control the BOSS continuously. Is this the power of the Martial Saint?

Xiao Jie still remembered that the warrior named Flathead Brother was completely unable to defeat Dong Lingzi with his bare hands.

A warrior and a martial saint are indeed incomparable.

Although he felt emotional, it did not stop him from continuing to deal damage.

It seems that today's MVP must be Haomie, let's get all gold.

Thanks to the continuous control exerted by Haomie, several people were able to output with peace of mind.

This game is an action game after all, and the BOSS is not very resistant to attacks. In a moment, Niu Dali's health was reduced by half.

However, the level 26 boss is still very intimidating, so Xiao Jie did not fight too aggressively and left a little room for improvement.

Sure enough, when his blood volume was almost reduced to half, Niu Dali suddenly let out a roar.

"Forget it, this weak human body is useless after all. Since you say I am a monster, let me show you what a real monster is - Moo!"

There was a roar like muffled thunder, and red light shone from Niu Dali's body. His body swelled instantly and became as big as a hill, more than four meters high and more than six or seven meters long.

Its horns were curved like iron hooks, its eyes were scarlet like lanterns, and its yellow and black fur had a metallic color.

Its four hooves are flaming, its snort is as loud as thunder, and there is a dim yellow light all around its body, which slows down the player.

Niu Dali (the true form of the bull demon): HP: 2917/4800!

After the transformation, the blood volume actually increased a lot.
