Feng Yi returned to the second platform, choosing a comfortable position with the most suitable angle.
“It’s finally beginning.” KB’s heart bumped, he started it as a joke, but with people constantly talking about it, he still felt embarrassed.
After Li Yao shot an arrow, the massive crossbow in his hand vanished, replaced by a long fire gun which appeared in hand, with action as swift as a magic trick, even courteously welcoming, like flowing clouds and water.
-6
The massive damage from the crossbow only inflicted six points on the boss’s head, but seeing this number made Li Yao breathe a sigh of relief.
He was still nervous about this boss, it was a great challenge for him to deal with a boss seven levels higher than him.
Li Yao actively ran towards the boss while quickly reloading and firing.
-2-3-2…
“This boss isn’t as difficult as imagined, I can think of at least two methods to kill it.” Li Yao’s calm voice had all the audience wide-eyed.
Damn, others can’t even think of a single method, and you came up with two, stop bragging!
Li Yao continued, “Hunters, like thieves, only reveal their king-like nature in the wilderness. Their survival skills are not weaker than those of thieves, and their killing ability is much stronger. Hunters have many techniques, kite-style being the most mainstream one, which would also work on this boss, as long as his ambush is handled properly, there’s no threat.”
When the audience and fans thought about it, it indeed made sense, but then they realized it’s only theoretically feasible. But dodging ambush while running and accurately firing backwards in free mode is not easy, people even miss when aiming head-on. However, many fans soon came to their senses, others might not be able to do it, but given Li Yao’s archery skills, it should be possible, which calmed them down.
“However, while kiting is relatively safe, you all have seen my damage, I presume none of the viewers would like to see me using tens of thousands of arrows to finish him. Therefore, I will talk about the second approach today, a counter technique exclusive for hunters. The sword counter that was used last time, for those who use shields there is a safer shield counter option. And for hunters, it’s the gun counter. Seeing the live broadcast today, my hunter friends will understand that hunters are the true kings in the wilderness.
Watch, just like this…”
During his talk, the distance between the boss and Li Yao had already shortened to within a fifty-yard range.
As soon as they saw the boss’ figure vanish from the spot, even though the audience and fans knew that Li Yao was fighting the boss, they couldn’t help but exclaim.
Through the bombardment between bosses, they knew that the boss had activated a skill, ambush.
But just as the boss was about to disappear, Li Yao suddenly turned around, the fire gun loaded with bullets in hand, leaning back slightly and pulled the trigger towards the air.
Bang, bang…
With the sound, two orange bullets almost simultaneously shot out.
Time seemed to slow down countless times as the two bullets tore through the void and hit the boss’ bulging muscles on his arms which just appeared diagonally above Li Yao, one on the left and one on the right, each bullet hitting the same location on the boss’s left and right arms with unmatched symmetry.
-3-2…
Boom…
The boss’s massive body fiercely crashed into the void shadow created by Li Yao’s Shadow Roll, then Li Yao quickly reached out his left hand to grab the boss’s hair, pulling his head up, the sword in his right hand pierced the boss’s carotid artery like a flash of lightning, then swiftly withdrew the sword.
Suddenly, bright red blood gushed out.
-500
The sword’s speed was astounding, it took only a second from piercing to withdrawal, Li Yao took advantage of the struggling boss to hurriedly stab two more times at the boss’ neck, while the damage wasn’t as severe after breaking the counter, the inflicted injury was still quite significant.
-100-120…
Only by attacking the boss’s vital parts when it has no defensive capabilities can such terrifying damage be inflicted.
The counter breaking move was as fast as lightning, most people barely understood what happened before it ended, moreover, they were confused why they saw Li Yao fire two shots when clearly a gun can only load one bullet.
With the popularity of free mode, the attack mechanism of “The Ancient God World” also changed.
In previous games, the frequency of attacking swings was fixed. Say, if it was prescribed that a large sword hits once every three seconds, a player’s continuous attack would be a swing every three seconds, of course, the attributes affecting attack speed were calculated separately.
This frequency of swinging once every three seconds was fixed, which means that even if you unleashed a skill during this period, the ordinary attack swing would still be made.
For example, if you unleashed a fatal strike, but the time for a regular attack also came up, it would actually be two swings in an instant.
Because of this mechanism, many experts studied optimal output cycles to maximize their output, which was to cancel the pre-attack and post-attack mechanics of skills, such as the warrior’s five swings per second, the bowman’s ten arrows per second, and many other popular technical combinations.
However, “The Ancient God World” canceled this setting, there is no such scenario.
For example, the speed of jabbing with a sword is once per second, but this is just an ordinary concept value. In this game, even if you jab with a sword once per second, if not handled properly, it might not even be faster than a large sword.
More importantly, wanting to unleash a skill and an ordinary attack simultaneously, the easiest method of two swings per second no longer works, you could only make one swing, either a skill or an ordinary attack.
Therefore, most people were quite puzzled, they didn’t understand how Li Yao could almost simultaneously fire two rounds.
“Replay, I demand a replay.”
“I recorded it, it’s in the replay.”
“Ah, I actually forgot to record it, why didn’t you say so earlier, I regret it now.”
“Replay.”
The live chat room was immediately filled with such barrage, and Qin Feng Yi had no choice but to select the replay.
In the TV studio, Tian Na was watching the slow-motion replay on the screen and said, “What’s this? I can’t believe this happened.”
“It’s a gun counter,” KB supplemented.
Tian Na was caught between laughter and tears, “I know it’s a gun counter. What I want to know is how it was done. We barely had time to react to the counter-attack, let alone break the move, and to do it in such a way… it’s too amazing. ”
KB exhaled deeply and quickly said, “More than amazing, it’s simply unfathomable. Didn’t you see just before the boss disappeared, Prairie Fire had already turned himself, but the boss’s figure had not yet appeared. At that moment, he performed two unfathomable operations. One operation set a new trend, the other, although understandable, is difficult to learn. Guess many professional masters would lose levels practicing this after today.”
“Then hurry up and explain, and then let’s watch Prairie Fire’s continued performance,” said Tian Na anxiously.
With a faint smile, KB explained: “You see, before turning around, he had already loaded the bullet, guessing that the boss was going to unleash a surprise attack even before the boss activated his skill. Such foresight is simply terrifying. Then pay attention; Prairie Fire held his fire gun with his right hand, while his left hand had already reached for the pistol at his waist.”
Only then did the audience notice that Li Yao was holding the handle of the gun in his armpit, the muzzle tilted upwards. His left hand also held a pistol, with the muzzle also tilted upwards.
The two bullets were almost fired simultaneously, but at that time, everyone’s attention was on the fire gun, and no one thought he had a pistol too. Everyone was suddenly enlightened.
“See, this is the new gameplay he has initiated. Although it’s still rough, with this inspiration, this type of play will become more and more refined, and will become as popular as five shots per second. Secondly, his godlike foresight,” KB continued with increasing excitement.
“Godlike foresight?” asked Tian Na, puzzled.
“Yes, godlike foresight. If you say judging boss’s skill activation, there are traces to follow. If you are careful and attentive, the boss has specific actions before each skill activation. But look at the back; he fired two shots in succession. Did you notice that when he pulled the trigger, the boss’s figure had not yet appeared? The boss’s figure only appeared when the two bullets flew out.
The footage was played in slow motion again, and everyone clearly saw that it was indeed as KB had said.
“See how terrifying it is? If the boss appeared first, we would admire his accurate marksmanship and quick reaction. But this? This is godlike foresight.
Please take another look. The two bullets hit the exact spots on both arms simultaneously, but the two arms were not parallel at all. Honestly, I don’t know what you think, but words can no longer express the shock in my heart.”
All the audience was also shocked. Even if the boss appeared first, it would be incredibly difficult to hit the target, right? Was this just a lucky shot? But looking at Prairie Fire’s calm expression and smooth, flowing actions, the audience didn’t even believe it.
Watching him take on the boss was like appreciating a form of art.
Thanks to Qin Feng Yi’s commentary, the live audience also understood what was going on, and the chatroom was bubbling with excitement.
“On behalf of Zhao Ritian, I submit.
“On behalf of Lei PO Tian, I submit.’
“On behalf of Dragon Ao Tian, I submit.”
“Ingot represents my feelings.”
“Damn, it’s an injustice to the skills of the Prairie Fire’s Divine Church if we don’t give ingots. Hunters, let’s move.”
“Hunters are the kings of the wilderness, I submit.”
The entire chatroom seemed to have exploded.
“So this is the real you. You’ve changed so much in just one year that I can’t see through you anymore,” Qin Feng Yi said, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she looked at the image of Li Yao.
Li Yao could not afford to be distracted. Facing such a boss, he was under great pressure, but also felt excited at facing the challenge. His brain was working faster.
After thrusting the third sword, he quickly retreated.
“Damn intruder, you’ve angered me.”
The boss roared to the sky, with blood-red flames flashing in his eyes.
Back jump!
As Li Yao was flying backward, he pulled the trigger.
Bang…
-3
At this moment, a red light appeared on the ground where Li Yao had been, which then turned into a magma surface.
It was the boss’s skill, Flame Seal!
“Safe for the next thirty seconds.”
Li Yao stood on the edge of the lava surface, constantly shooting. Although the damage was not significant, he would not waste any opportunity for output. He also released two Arrow Towers to assist him, keeping one as a backup.
He was most worried about the boss’s two skills. One was the surprise attack. If it wasn’t for his years of practice, there was no way he could break this move. The other was Flame Seal. The coverage was too large, and even Shadow Roll couldn’t get out of it in time, so he could only rely on backjump.
With these two moves out of the way, Li Yao felt a little relieved.
Just as if to prove the wisdom of the humanoid boss, the boss ignored the attacking Li Yao and destroyed the two Arrow Towers that had only been out for a few seconds….
