    Li Yao frowned as he watched the boss sever two arrow towers. He was taking small steps backward whileunching attacks.


    The boss rapidly closed in, arms slightly crossed. In that moment when the huge ded arms glowed green, Li Yao pulled out his gun and fired.


    Bang…


    The high-speed rotating bullet prated his arm, dimming the budding glow abruptly. The boss fell to one knee, clutching his arm and wincing in pain.


    The essence of ‘breaking the move’ is such an interesting setting that it only triggers when yers are one on one with the field bosses.


    This is when the boss is charging up an attack or skill. There’s no such setting when facing a horde of bosses. Of course, yers can also interrupt the boss’s skill with special moves — but that’s a skill interrupt, slightly different from ‘breaking the move’.


    In one-on-one, if you can catch that moment of charge and target his power node, as long as you break his defense, his attack or skill will be interrupted, thereby causing bacsh.


    Although this bacsh won’t drain health, it will temporarily disable the boss’s actions and defenses.


    Comparison-wise, the boss can also cause ‘break the move’ effects on the yer, even more potent, and bosses can ‘break the move’ even against multiple yers.


    Li Yao had seen many such tragedies online. When the boss unleashed a move, a healing spell was broken and health couldn’t be increased for a few seconds. The consequences are dreadful — without healing support to increase health, there’s only one road to death facing the boss’s skills.


    Li Yao broke the boss’s wild de dance, and with a shadow roll, appeared beside the boss. His right hand aimed his dagger at the boss’s neck artery, causing blood to gush when he pulled it out.


    Thuck…


    -560


    As the dagger was pulled out, he was enveloped by a tide of blood. At this moment, Li Yao was soaked in blood, looking extremely ferocious.


    -110-100…


    Quickly following up with the second and third shes, Li Yao swiftly retreated.


    Thanks to Li Yao’s exceedingly high attributes coupled with the little artifact ne, the damage caused was unexpectedly high.


    Of course, when the boss got up, Li Yao could only inflict minimal damage, barely enough to break the boss’s defense.


    The boss’s offense was very aggressive, seemingly unconcerned with Li Yao’s constant ‘break the move’. But no matter how violent it was, it couldn’t harm Li Yao at all.


    The disparity in their forms was too great. In front of the boss, Li Yao looked slim but extremely elegant.


    Like in a dance, moving freely, as swift as the wind. The boss may cause tremors just by walking, and his roar can pierce the sky, but he can’t even touch Li Yao’s clothes, which drives him even more berserk and furious.


    “Why does this feel so familiar?” Tian Na muttered to herself: “This boss is just as pitiful as the one in the mine.”


    KB replied with a wry smile: “He’s in worse shape than that boss. At least that boss managed to y many yers, whereas this one ran into Praire Fire, who’s a freak.”


    Despite his already lofty expectation towards Li Yao, seeing him inflict a ‘break the move’ damage of 500 still startled him. Just what kind of beast was he? From this, it can be inferred that his damage against creatures of his level must be around 200; otherwise, a ‘break the move’ damage of 500 would not be possible.


    What does a damage of 200 mean? Over thest few days, as everyone’s equipment improved, their health also increased. But apart from the MTS with defensive equipment and stamina, most people only had about 200 health points.


    That means, when facing Li Yao, there’s a risk of being killed in a single hit.


    “So, to put it simply, if the boss is ‘broken the move’ more than a hundred times, it’ll die?” Tian Na asked.


    “Yes, if he indeed doesn’t make any mistakes,” replied KB, unaware that this boss actually had two forms.


    The audience in front of TVs and live streaming were already engrossed, especially the Hunters. They were trying to learn the gun counter skill while figuring out Li Yao’s maneuvers and process of ‘breaking the move’.


    Even if they learned it, they could only use it in the wild and couldn’t qualify forpetitions. Still, it eased the discriminatory view other professions had towards Hunters. At least in the future, Hunting for a team wouldn’t be as awkward.


    Many groups of Hunters had emerged in the game recently. Generallyprising Hunters no one wanted, they strived to level up by sharing tips and so on. The majority of Hunters at this stage had no pets, their arrow skills were not precise, and leveling up was a significant challenge.


    When the boss was ‘broken move’ down to 40% blood volume, the boss suddenly shot to mid-air, its body twisting in mid-air. A green vortex sprouted, and a huge spider illusion enveloped the boss.


    With a series of huge roars, the boss’s body twisted and changed, transforming into a massive Ghost Hunting Spider.


    Ghost Hunting Spider is different from ordinary spiders. It serves as a guard for the Spider Queen and ranks second in the n, just below the Queen’s spouse.


    Ghost Hunting Spiders excel in battle, their heads look like a monstrous face d in a mask, and their abdomens are huge, covered in a thick shell.


    The spider’s legs are extremely sharp, just like a de. Its two front limbs are like guillotine des, but even tougher.


    Boom…


    The Ghost Hunting Spider lets out a roar to the sky, showcasing its forbidding aura.


    This is his second phase, taking on the Spider Shape.


    All eyes were wide open, no one had expected the boss to have yet another form, their hearts were on their mouth at this point.


    “We’re finished,” was the first thought that arose in all their minds, as they didn’t even know the boss’s abilities, making it all the more challenging to break through.


    KB, who was blue in the face, brightened up. This was the best-case scenario, even if they failed, nobody would me Prairie Fire’s skills, and he would not have to bow his head in shame.


    A roar…


    The Ghost Hunting Spider let out a hiss, followed by a green light gathering up around its mouth.


    Poison Bomb! !!


    Li Yao slightly squinted his eyes and then quickly pulled the trigger.


    Boom…


    An orange bullet prated its mouth, the green light abruptly ceased, and the Ghost Hunting Spider’s body fell to the ground with a loud thump.


    Li Yao immediately used a Shadow Roll to get behind the spider. At this moment, arge sword had already appeared in his hand.


    The huge sword was raised high, beginning to emit a faint yellow glow, followed by a golden light, then a dark red. The three-stage charge wasplete.


    The grand sword harshly shed the shell on the back of the Ghost Hunting Spider.


    -600


    With the great damage number disyed, some cracks appeared on the spider’s back shell, followed by shattering. The broken shell provided no protection, allowing Li Yao to sessfully break through.


    The gigantic spider got up, seeing Li Yao not far behind it, its abdomen suddenly swelled.


    Death Spider Web! !!


    Li Yao’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat; the spider’s belly was swelling so fiercely, it kept swaying back and forth. He quickly simted the movement of the spider in his mind.


    As the spider’s belly contracted, a faint white light could be seen.


    Right then, Li Yao pulled the trigger.


    Ssh…


    -198


    An astonishing number floated up, followed by the Ghost Hunting Spider’s abdomen trembling non-stop before it fell to the ground.


    Li Yao used the same method to get behind the Spider, striking it fiercely with his sword.


    All the viewers watching the live stream felt a chill run down their spines, followed by a wave of cold air.


    St…


    Apanied by arge amount of green blood, a terrifying number was disyed.


    -1200


    Li Yao was shocked; this was the second form’s weak point. He was delighted and quickly stabbed out two more times.


    -450-525…


    Those two numbers again verified that this was indeed the boss’s weak point. Li Yao’s confidence soared, knowing that it would not take much more to kill this boss.


    Just as everyone was cheering for Li Yao, the usually quiet Tongtong suddenly said, “Big brother, watch out.”


    On the second tform, the ever-stoic Tongtong quickly set up the me Totem and Earthbind Totem at the edge of the rope bridge between the second and third tforms.


    Feng Yi was the first to react, her dagger shed down mercilessly on the rope, instantly severing it.


    At the same time, a rogue appeared near the totems. He had no discernable identity, his face covered, and it was impossible to tell who he was or where he came from.


    “You guys are so mean, go to hell.” Tongtong didn’t attack the rogue, but quickly recited a spell, sending out an exploding Magma Ball.


    The Magma Ball traced over one hundred yards in the air, impacting on the ropes hanging on the other side. Although itcked considerable attack power, it was enough to burn through the rope.


    Then came the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground; the audience was stunned watching this unfold, seeing the rogue attacking Tongtong on the tform, then tumbling to the ground. They all understood that it was an ambush.


    Virtually everyone’s first reaction was that the Xiaoyao Studio was trying to steal their boss or destroy Prairie Fire’s boss hunting….
