"No problem!!" Tian Qi and the others agreed almost without thinking. At this moment, the value of this expert in their eyes had already surpassed the valuable materials dropped by the hidden BOSS. They were worried about not finding a way to show goodwill, but unexpectedly, this expert had a need, which was perfect for them. It wouldn't be just the strong spider silk; even if it meant giving away all the materials, Tian Qi and his friends wouldn't hesitate too much at this point.
Moreover, Tian Qi was thorough in showing goodwill. He turned around and said, "Xiao Yueyue, give the team leader position to the expert brother!"
"If you call me that again, I'll kill you!" Yue Zhongmian gritted his teeth.
"Ha ha, it's quite cute, why don't you like it?" Tian Qi said with a smile, but he didn't take the joke too far and quickly added, "Okay, I won't call you that! Team leader, give it to expert brother."
Yue Zhongmian understood the meaning. By letting the other party become the team leader and setting it to leader distribution, they could completely dispel any doubts and establish full trust between them. At this point, Yue Zhongmian could see that Jun Mo Xiao no longer needed to play any tricks. If he really wanted to monopolize the loot, he could just say the word, and his three friends wouldn't have any objections. Yue Zhongmian felt helpless and transferred the team leader position.
However, Jun Mo Xiao didn't change any team leader permissions and simply said, "Continue," before leading everyone forward.
The killing method didn't change, so everything went smoothly. A fork in the road appeared in the cave ahead, and everyone knew that one side led to the Spider Lord's lair. Jun Mo Xiao didn't hesitate and directly headed towards the side where the Lord was hidden, with the four following closely behind.
This passage didn't exist in the normal dungeon, and there were some spider eggs along the way. As players approached, the eggs would hatch, and the small spiders that jumped out were tiny and attacked the players with quick movements. The damage wasn't high, but because they were small and fast, they were not easy to hit. The four players were almost bursting with frustration, only hitting the spiders after several attempts. But looking at Jun Mo Xiao, with a raise of his hand and a thrust of his spear, he never missed, clearing them quickly. Seeing the four in such a sorry state, he flipped his hand to support them. The four were relieved. Without him, they could have met the Spider Lord, but it might have taken them an hour just to get through this path.
"Do you think we'll be the first to kill the Spider Lord?" Qian Shengli had a bit of anticipation for the future.
"That depends on luck; we don't know if we're early enough," Tian Qi said.
"If we get the first kill, it means we're the earliest team to enter the Spider Cave. We're not slow either. It's the third round now, and there's no system message for the hidden BOSS's first kill, so I think we have a good chance," Qian Shengli analyzed confidently.
"If you don't have the strength, even if you encounter a hidden BOSS, you wouldn't dare to kill it!" Mu Yunshen sighed.
"Thank goodness for expert brother," Tian Qi said.
"Yes, yes, yes," the other two echoed.
"I say, aren't you guys disgusting?" Yue Zhongmian despised the three for always trying to get close to Jun Mo Xiao, and he wasn't afraid of Jun Mo Xiao hearing it.
The three were depressed and embarrassed, and they were somewhat angry at Yue Zhongmian. Speaking of the initial conflict, it was you who was wrong first, so why can't you step back? Tian Qi gave Yue Zhongmian a private chat lecture. Of course, Yue Zhongmian couldn't argue with Tian Qi, and in the end, he just maintained an attitude of "I just don't like him." Tian Qi also lost patience and immediately said that if you're unhappy, get out of the dungeon after it's over, and don't make a fuss.
Yue Zhongmian felt bitter and aggrieved. Had the time finally come to abandon him, a commoner, for the sake of an expert?
"We're here." Ye Kai had always been at the forefront. Seeing that there was a cave within a cave ahead, he knew this was the Spider Lord's habitat.
"How do we kill it?" Tian Qi asked.
"Wait a moment, I'll alt-tab out to check the strategy," Ye Kai said.
The four were suddenly in chaos. What was this situation? They were going to look up the strategy at the last minute? Was this the time for last-minute preparations?
"Expert brother, this..." Tian Qi hesitated, not knowing how to express himself, but Jun Mo Xiao stood there without any reaction, as if he really had alt-tabbed out of the game to check the strategy. The four were bewildered! They had already concluded that this person was a super expert, but how could such a thing happen to a super expert?
"Could it be... a different person?" Tian Qi voiced a frightening speculation.
"I was saying! How could such an awesome expert not stay in the Domain of Gods, and why would he come to a new area alone to pioneer?!" Qian Shengli said.
"Damn, was it a real expert helping us play before, and now a fake expert has come back? He doesn't know how to fight the BOSS and ran to look up the strategy?" Mu Yunshen said.
Expert brother, how could you abandon us like this? Even if you just helped us get past this BOSS! The three were in tears. Yue Zhongmian kept silent on the side. He suddenly had a guess. This person was so calm and unresponsive to his behavior, could it be because the person he encountered at that time and the one he met initially were not the same person?
While they were lost in their unfounded imaginations, Ye Kai had already finished checking the strategy and came back.
"Alright," Ye Kai said.
"Expert brother... did you... switch players?" Tian Qi cautiously asked.
"Switch players?" Ye Kai didn't understand.
"Has this account always been played by you alone?" Tian Qi asked.
"Yes!" Ye Kai answered.
"Then I'm a bit confused. You're such an awesome expert, and you still need to look up strategies for fighting a BOSS?" Tian Qi said.
"I haven't run this dungeon in many years; how could I remember how to fight without looking up the strategy?" Ye Kai said.
"But before..."
"Before, I also looked at the strategy!" Ye Kai said.
The four were dumbfounded.
"When?" Tian Qi asked.
"When learning skills, I glanced at it casually. But it was too long, and I didn't look at the hidden BOSS part first," Ye Kai said.
The four continued to be puzzled. They had, of course, studied the strategy for the Spider Cave long ago, but there was nothing in it about the way Jun Mo Xiao commanded the fight. What kind of strategy had he been looking at?
Ye Kai, however, had already started explaining the method to defeat the Spider Lord: "I just looked at the introduction of the Spider Lord. To deal with it, we can still use the method we used against the web-spitting mini BOSS, surrounding it and coordinating to keep it in a continuous state of stun. But there's a difficulty here: the Spider Lord will continuously lay spider eggs, which cannot be interrupted by any skills. The hatched spiders are similar to the ones in the passage, but if they bite, they will force the target into a three-second immobilization. You all know about the immobilization state, right? You can't move or attack, nor can you be attacked. Although there's no damage, it will interrupt our coordination, so we absolutely cannot be bitten by the small spiders."
"What should we do then?" Tian Qi asked.
"I'll take care of clearing the small spiders, don't worry. So our ultimate difficulty is whether you four can coordinate to keep the Spider Lord continuously stunned?"
