Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Infinite Range Arrow Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Infinite Range Arrow After logging off, Li Yao didn’t think about anything and went straight to sleep, nurturing his spirit. After tidying up and having a meal, he logged into the game and started studying the flexible dungeon’s map to find a solution.

The difficulty of this dungeon had exceeded his expectations. Although he had experience and knew some methods, those were for challenges of roughly similar difficulty. His forces were too numerous now, and the methods from his memory were no longer applicable.

This time, he had to rely entirely on himself and his teammates to come up with a strategy. After an hour, Sister Li and Unparalleled Beauty gathered with Li Yao to simulate the battle.

In reality, whether it was Sister Li, the Beauty, or Qin Feng Yi, they were much busier than Li Yao. Besides handling the daily affairs of the guild, Sister Li had recently taken on the task of managing the sales of two different potions for three factions. Since this involved significant amounts of money, although she delegated the specifics to professionals recruited from her company, she didn’t relax her oversight. The stakes were too high; a slight tampering by someone could lead to a massive loss of Gold Coins for the guild.

Unparalleled Beauty was likewise very busy. Back in the real world, she was dealing with a myriad of issues related to the guild’s headquarters and the various procedural matters and applications for the combat teams, which had just started showing some progress.

Qin Feng Yi had the critical task of gathering intelligence. At this stage, aside from monitoring and collecting information about other guilds’ pioneer progress, it was also essential to compile significant intelligence gathered.

The other veterans, including Tong Tong, although appearing more relaxed, still needed to keep abreast of the guild members’ situations and resolve minor matters and disputes. After all, Sister Li couldn’t involve herself in every single issue, nor could she manage to if she tried.

As the number of Starfire members increased, it wasn’t possible to maintain complete harmony; issues and conflicts were inevitable. Thus, when everyone logged in, they didn’t gather immediately but were busy with the assorted matters within the guild.

This was inevitable. Enjoying certain benefits meant facing corresponding responsibilities.

Later, Qin Feng Yi joined them, and the four people continuously simulated the battle until they finally decided that two strategies were most viable and also the most efficient for securing the first kill. All other options had too much uncertainty.

One method was for Li Yao to sacrifice the opportunity for his Cockroach Legion to revive. Under the effects of the flexible dungeon, this would lower the dungeon’s difficulty to the level of other guilds.

The advantage was clear–reducing the dungeon’s difficulty would naturally make achieving the first kill much easier.

But the downsides were also significant. Firstly, aside from losing over ten thousand troops, the previously collected corpses were probably unusable. Although not entirely certain, it was highly probable. For Li Yao, rebuilding such a large legion would not be easy and would certainly require a significant amount of time, especially since energy units weren’t just blown in by the wind.

Secondly, they also deduced that the higher the difficulty, the better the rewards. This was true even for minor monsters, let alone high-difficulty Demons. Just from killing the first and second waves of monsters, Starfire had already gained significant benefits, and the appearance of those Altars had thrilled the members of the Starfire guild.

The hottest topic now was how to acquire followers, and the most watched path was naturally that of the demonic spiders. After all, unlike followers, these creature types didn’t have the same needs. One should know that maintaining humanoid, intelligent followers was costly–daily expenses and salaries. On the other hand, the demonic spiders only needed to be kept alive and combat-ready, as they demanded no wages or special treatment.

Thus, although this strategy was reliable, nobody really wanted to use it.

Another was just like in the first phase, using the terrain to lure the boss to a certain location, and then use the Legion to block the Demon Spider United Army.

Such terrain did exist; behind the cathedral there was a place akin to a narrow passage, backed by a broad small valley where an abandoned Paradise Summoning Array lay, but it had become obsolete after the cathedral’s fall, and with Paradise now occupied by Demons, no Angels would descend to repair it.

Despite that, the intense aura of Paradise still made the Demon Spiders despise the place. The problem was how to lure the Demon God there.

“As soon as we start fighting, swarms of Demon Spiders will overwhelm us. Her skills deal astonishing damage, and many of them involve summoning various demons. If we cannot clear them quickly, the numbers will only grow, and we will be annihilated from both inside and out. The Demon Spiders surrounding us form too dense a formation; even your Drunken God Steps won’t get you through, let alone us,” Unparalleled Enchantress frowned.

Feng Yi also said, “Moreover, if the rest of us head to the valley first and you lead the Legion alone, setting aside whether you can break through, even if you do, the Fire Poison Cockroach will be too exhausted, and we won’t be able to hold the narrow passage valley. It would be much better if this were an open field instead of the restricted instance dungeon items.”

Li Yao knew that although the Mantis Army was resilient, they lacked the ability to charge into battle effectively. Actually, the Flame-Poison Mantis was akin to a blood tank, relying on its ability to not die to wear down opponents, but it could not quickly kill them.

“It’s fundamentally impossible to break out. Drunken God Steps might be powerful, but you need space to use it. You’ve seen these Demon Spiders; they’re too dense and even use self-destruct tactics. As for flying over, I suspect the sky full of webs would make me die even more miserably,” Li Yao continuously strategized in his mind, going over it thousands of times in two hours, but not even once did it work. If it didn’t work in theory, much less in practice.

“You mentioned the Infinite Range Arrow skill, with that do you think you can pull the Demon God to a specific location?” Sister Li asked.

Li Yao nodded. “Exactly, I possess Titan’s Eye, and with my archery skills, although I can’t truly ignore distance, Infinite Range Arrow allows me to achieve a hundredfold what other skills can. I can simply stand on the mountaintop and pull her over.”

“I’ve already sent people to look for it, hopefully, they can find it,” Sister Li sighed.

Li Yao didn’t hold out much hope, for even securing a first kill in the dungeon might not drop Infinite Range Arrow, and obtaining the Skill Book for Infinite Range Arrow at this stage was unrealistic. So, Li Yao started strategizing other methods, and by this time, other guilds had already continued their raids.

Even Starfire’s own guild team had been raiding for over two hours.

The absence of Prairie Fire’s raiding action in the live stream led many to speculate whether the Starfire Core Group had decided it was too difficult and given up on continuing their raid.

Half an hour later, Sister Li suddenly said, “There was a Skill Book for Infinite Range Arrow on auction the day before yesterday. Since it’s of gold quality, he set a very high price, asking for a buyout at two hundred thousand Gold Coins, but nobody bought it, and it was removed from the auction. Our people asked about it, and he started talking about one hundred and fifty thousand.”

Li Yao sneered, “What a clever calculation. Although Infinite Range Arrow is of high quality, it’s not worth that money. Continue negotiating, see if he has other conditions.”

Li Yao, of course, knew that while Infinite Range Arrow was a divine skill, by the Divine Enthronement period in the previous world, only up to three players could somewhat utilize this skill, and he was one of them; moreover, now…
