    Even though everything seemed to be going ording to n, Li Yao knew that at any moment, things could fall apart.


    For instance, whether the Spider Silk would result in a chain reaction and when the silk breaks, whether it would lead to ruptures elsewhere, or whether the Arrow Tower could withstand the pull of the force—it was all uncertain.


    Whether it was in the game or in reality, there were no guarantees. Li Yao’s simtions were like scientific experiments, projecting the most ideal conditions and states, yet reality never truly aligned with these scenarios.


    The reason for the fractures was actually due to the longitudinal Spider Silk links formed by the Crystal Spider.


    Fortunately, it was a Crystal Spider, and one of Silver Elite rank at that. Ordinary spiders would not be able to achieve such a feat.


    Under Li Yao’s guidance, the small team was gradually chipping away at the boss’s health.


    In terms of the skill mechanism of the ancient gods, there was a cooldown time, and also a gradual reduction in spell immunity. For instance, the Mage’s Polymorph spell can be continuously cast, but if it is repeatedly cast on the same target, the duration of the polymorph effect bes shorter and shorter. After a certain number of times, the polymorphed target may instantly revert to its original form, rendering the spell almost ineffective.


    However, this spider web and its sticky web skill were different, practically eliminating the concern of any reduction effect.


    Such circumstances were generally aparison of powers and attributes. Supposedly, if an elite or normal monster was trapped by the web, it would be doomed.


    This situation had proven disadvantageous for many yers. For instance, in the wild Spider’s Nest, being trapped by the spider web, especially a high-level boss’s web, pretty much signaled death.


    In actual attributeparison, the power and attributes of the ming corpse was superior to the Crystal Spider’s, so under the special mechanism of the ancient gods, the cobweb couldn’tpletely control the ming corpse.


    If it had been a level 10+ Spider Boss’s web, the ming corpse would have been caught in the dark.


    Of course, these were just experiences summed up by countless yers from the past. At this stage, yers were still adapting to this illusory yet real world.


    “Dumb Dumb, you retreated half a second toote,” Li Yao said sternly.


    “I was just finishing my spell,” replied Adorably Dumb in sound defense.


    “I told you, don’t rush. If I say retreat, then retreat. If you have to, interrupt your spellcasting. Also, Da Vinci, you’re a healer, stick to that. Do you have too much mana, or do you think our DPS yers need your assistance?”


    “Alright, alright. Don’t be so mean, old man,” groaned Da Vinci, pouting.


    You two are young, I’ll let it go this time. But I don’t want to see this again, I don’t want you disrupting everyone’s rhythm and causing a wipe.”


    “Yeah, yeah.” Adorably Dumb yfully stuck out her tongue.


    “What are you allughing at. Sea Brother, Big Stone, Shadow Dance, look at your DPS.”


    “Boss, I’m a melee yer, each of my arrows only causes a few dozen points of damage, how can I possiblypete with your DPS?” Shadow Dance argued.


    “That’s right,” Big Stone agreed.


    “Bullshit, how can you defend that? I can use my crossbow to attack three to four times in three seconds. Look at you guys, sometimes you don’t even manage twice. What’s up? Are you drained from your masturbation sessionst night? If that’s the case, I won’t say anything. Otherwise, get your act together. A few dozen points of damage may seem minor, but do the math: what’s the total damage of ten such instances? What’s the sum total of all three of you? Sea Brother, I’m not ming you, but you’re an experiencedmander. Haven’t we learned enough lessons from wiping on a boss with just 1% HP left?”


    “Ahem, that was just an ident,” Sea Brother said sheepishly, the other two were already out of arguments.


    Under Li Yao’s constant reprimands, the boss’s health steadily decreased.


    70%, 65%, 60%, 55%, 50%, 45%, 40%, 35%…


    The boss’s health was now at 35%. During this period, the boss was continuously roaring in anger, but there was nothing it could do.


    The dungeon’s aggro mechanism was aimed at Li Yao, drastically different from the open-world bosses. But every few steps, he would be immobilized for two to a three-second duration.


    gue Zombie!


    The boss roared, and a zombie covered in green Poison Fog quickly charged towards the yer group. This zombie’s target was the ranged DPS yers.


    Charge!


    Big Stone charged from the other side.


    “Don’t attack this zombie,” Li Yao shouted, but it was already toote.


    Not only the charging Big Stone but also the two melee yers using crossbows quickly targeted the zombie, pulling their triggers.


    Boom…


    After suffering over a hundred points in damage, the gue Zombie exploded.


    A green fog instantly covered a ten-yard radius.


    “I need healing,” Big Stone urgently called out as his health bar rapidly decreased, causing his heart to pound in fear.


    At the same time, Shadow Dance and Da Vinci, who were close by, were also engulfed. They were unable to help themselves let alone others. Guardian Angel prioritized raising Da Vinci’s health, leaving Shadow Dance, a fragile target with limited stamina, to drop and die on the spot.


    Thest two survivors desperately tried to run towards the edge of the Poison Fog.


    However, escaping the fog was useless. They were already affected by the gue.


    gue: Lose 300 health points per second,sts for one minute, and can infect targets within five-yard range.


    “Don’te near us, the gue is contagious,” Li Yao shouted urgently.


    “This is disgusting.” While healing himself, Da Vinci also healed Big Stone.


    “Don’t waste your mana on healing them, you won’t be able to restore much. Your main task is to concentrate on the boss,” Li Yao quickly stopped the Fruit Knight from trying to heal the group, reminding him to keep his focus on the boss.


    Dumb Dumb also stopped dealing damage and started assisting in healing, even scattering a Healing Totem.


    However, the group’s rhythm had already been disrupted. If it was not for Li Yao, who firmly held onto the boss’s aggro and controlled the tempo, the group would have already wiped.


    Zombie Soldiers!


    The boss stomped onto the ground and, not far from its feet, the ground suddenly split open as five hideous zombies aze with mes started crawling out.


    The five zombies quickly lined up and began sprinting towards the spider web. Everyone’s face drained of color as the zombies weren’t targeting the group, but the web. Fire was the web’s worst enemy. If the five zombies managed to destroy the web, aplete copse would be inevitable.


    Now, the boss would undoubtedly alternate between these skills and no one could predict which one would be used next, leading to a wipe.


    “Sea Brother,” Li Yao said without adding anything else but he believed Sea Brother understood what he meant.


    Without uttering a word, Sea Brother initiated a charge.


    Boom…


    Sea Brother collided with the zombie in the center, swinging his great sword ferociously.


    Cleave!


    Just like that, the five ming zombies were stopped in their tracks. In return, they all attacked Sea Brother simultaneously.


    Snap…


    Apanied by fiverge damage numbers, Sea Brother fell to the ground as the ming zombies turned to ashes. Their attack range was limited and they only had one attack opportunity…
