Chapter 1395: Chapter 34: Heavy Armament Assault (Part 2)

"This time, we will use this point, as I transform into a Phoenix to attract the Ancestor Dragon Relic’s pursuit."

He drew a few lines on the map: "Everyone else stands in a circular formation according to the map markings and uses long-range skills to attack. To ensure the aggro remains on me, I can’t stray too far from the BOSS. Support and Healing need to focus on providing me Shields and reduced damage to prevent me from being one-shotted."

His gaze swept over everyone: "As long as you maintain the correct positioning and Healing keeps up, I am confident I can hold the BOSS for at least three minutes. Three minutes — that’s enough time for you to finish off that last 20% of its health."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Full-time Expert added: "We’re still uncertain if there’s a sixth phase — my personal judgment is that there isn’t one. After all, the Ancestor Dragon is a fallen body, and the relic only contains a wisp of residual soul and Primordial Essence, incapable of supporting a complex combat mechanism. If we execute the strategy well, we can defeat the BOSS today."

He glanced at the time, raising his voice: "To ensure a sufficient margin for error, before we start this time, everyone should go to the logistics team to collect one Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill. Additionally — everyone, wear ’Battle Preparation Armor’. "

Upon hearing this, a low murmur echoed through the meeting room.

The current market price for a Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill is eight thousand Spirit Stones per piece, allowing the user to resurrect in full status once upon death (only valid if not killed by a Primordial Spirit). Usually, guilds can’t afford them for expansions, only large alliances like Iron Blood have the resources to purchase them in large quantities for refining.

But more attention was drawn to the latter part — "Wear Battle Preparation Armor."

Typically, when fighting a BOSS, everyone wears ’work clothes’ — mass-produced, easily replaceable second-line Equipment, as losing Equipment is a real loss. Without absolute certainty, the best Equipment is usually reserved for key moments only.

Now, with such an order from the Full-time Expert, it’s clear they’re going all-in.

Yet, no one had any objections.

After half a month and dozens of expansions, everyone had been wiped out on this battlefield at least ten times. By now, they knew every process, Skill, and positioning for the BOSS battle by heart.

Having been defeated dozens of times in work clothes, everyone was eager for an all-out effort.

"Alright, go prepare." The Full-time Expert finally said, "Gather in the City Lord Mansion’s hall in ten minutes. Latecomers will have DKP deducted."

Everyone dispersed with smiles, proceeding with their tasks — donning Equipment, collecting elixirs, while a few huddled together discussing tactical details.

Xiao Jie and the Full-time Expert walked side by side out of the meeting room, heading towards the headquarters’ entrance.

As they passed through the courtyard, the sunlight shone beautifully, casting a faint golden glow through the protective Barrier.

Xiao Jie breathed deeply as he gazed at the sunlight overhead.

"What’s wrong, nervous?" The Full-time Expert suddenly asked.

Xiao Jie nodded, not denying it: "A little."

He was speaking the truth.

The guild had consumed a massive amount of resources for this expansion — elixirs, talismans, Equipment, materials, and the manpower cost of dozens of expansions, totaling an astronomical figure. Not to mention this all-in attempt, where each person was wearing Equipment worth at least several tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If there’s a total wipe...

The loss of exploded Magic Treasures and Equipment would be immeasurable.

And all of this was to help Xiao Jie advance to Daluo.

To say there’s no pressure would be a lie.

"Haha, no need to be nervous." The Full-time Expert patted his shoulder, his smile carrying the composure of one who’s experienced countless battles, "I’ve seen this scene many times. Expansions naturally come with wipes. Even if we lose, it’s fine — that’s what this game is about — as long as we can try again, there’s nothing to fear."

He looked at the chaotic sky in the distance, his tone relaxed yet firm: "Besides, once you advance to Daluo, we’ll have a ’double Daluo’ lineup. Helping others advance to Daluo will be much easier in the future. This is also for the overall strength improvement of the guild, so... no need to feel pressured."

Xiao Jie nodded.

One had to admit, when it came to mindset, the Full-time Expert was indeed ’steady as a rock.’ That kind of calm after experiencing great winds and waves was indeed honed over years on the professional battlefield.

"Come on, let’s go wait for the others."

Both of them activated their tunneling light, flying one after the other towards the City Lord Mansion.

Embers City · City Lord Mansion Hall

When Xiao Jie and the Full-time Expert landed on the square in front of the City Lord Mansion, the hall was already bustling with voices.

Although it wasn’t yet noon, this had become the liveliest place in Embers City — a hub for players, a trading center, and a team assembly platform.

Upon entering the hall, various pieces of information were continuously refreshed in the channels:

...

Xiao Jie was already beyond familiar with this sight.

Watching the continuous text scrolling overhead, he couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless — no matter how high the cultivation, essentially these guys are still just a bunch of "game players."

The City Lord Mansion of Embers City, being turned into something akin to an online game world channel.

But upon further thought, perhaps this is what makes "players" precious — even in the face of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, even with the weight of saving the world on their shoulders, when it’s time to chat, they chat, when it’s time to idle, they idle, when it’s time to team up, they team up, when it’s time to trade, they trade.

This is how living people should be, not lying flat and awaiting death like before.

The Iron Blood Immortal Alliance’s execution was quite precise.

In less than ten minutes, the forty-plus member expansion team had all gathered in the City Lord Mansion’s hall. Uniformly Golden Immortals, with a few Profound Immortals thrown in.

Each person donned their best Equipment, and over forty people standing together sparkled with spiritual light, exuding an immortal aura.

Wherever they passed, players would glance over.

"Let’s go!"

The Full-time Expert pointed fiercely at the icon marked "Dragon Phoenix Ruins" on the Qiankun Map.

With a series of whooshes, dozens of figures transformed into dozens of tiny black dots, all merging into that section of the enormous painting.

A flash of white light, and no one remained.
