Li Ji's current formation can be described as bizarre... Raven felt like ants were crawling all over her body.
That's why she hates these kinds of activities; ordinary activities are time-consuming, laborious, and also affect training.
This activity of creating cracks will again lead to team compositions and strange interpretations that make her scalp tingle.
"Yes, I think this lineup is quite reasonable. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Li Ji glanced at his teammates behind him, and after confirming that he hadn't brought the wrong team, he gave Raven a confident smile.
"..."
The words that the raven was about to say suddenly seemed to get stuck in its throat.
"Oh well, let's just leave it at that. Just bear with it a little longer, and I'll teach him how to team up later."
She sighed inwardly, offering no further advice, and simply said to Li Ji, "Then let's begin once you're ready."
Looking at Raven's appearance, Li Ji wasn't surprised. If you disregard the overall overpowered strength of the operators, this lineup... really didn't have much of a chance of winning.
However, this only applies to the current world where the intensity is relatively low.
But to be honest, if Li Ji hadn't been trying to gain more popularity, he could have easily passed this level even with just three people.
But what they're going to play now is, after all, an 'exhibition match'. While the impact of fewer players is certainly exciting, the program effect and visual enjoyment are still somewhat different from his current lineup.
"Then I'll begin my performance."
------------
As the screen went black, they simultaneously entered the map of JT8-3.
The raging fire, with its intense heat, flickered in the air, and a strange sense of heat surged into the hearts of everyone present.
Just as the map was completed, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the red crack. She was wearing a black dress and black ankle boots, which stepped on the hard iron floor, reflecting a faint firelight.
The hem of her skirt flickered with burning embers, and even the ribbons of the armband she wore on her arm were ignited by the embers, like a burning serpent writhing in the air.
The flames on her body leaped with the rhythm of the wind, and every gust of wind brought a faint burning sound, as if hellfire was dancing on the hem of her skirt.
She drew her sword from her waist; the blade, too, gleamed with an eerie firelight. The cold light at the tip intertwined with the firelight, forming a strange yet beautiful arc. The longsword's blade seemed to have been licked by flames, flashing a cold and dangerous crimson light.
"The Undying Black Serpent" should have been Koschke's name, but in this other world without any plot, she only has one name—Talulah.
As the boss of JT8-3, she is also the most difficult point to deal with.
With the appearance of the Black Serpent, JT8-3's operation officially began.
Li Ji waved his hand gently, and Tao Jinniang and Qin Liu seemed to be telepathically connected as they landed together.
However, since they didn't bring bagpipes, the two of them had to wait for a while after landing before they could activate their skills.
"Two flag bearers, the usual high-spending tactic."
Raven nodded slightly as he observed the changes in Li Ji's performance on the field.
While she wasn't too impressed with this person's current poor team composition, his command skills were another matter entirely, and she still had to differentiate between them.
With Myrtle's skill activated first, Li Ji placed the mountain on the only way to the blue gate below.
And in the direction he faces, there is a piece of land that can refresh energy aggregates.
Seeing this, the raven nodded with a hint of satisfaction:
"It seems they have indeed studied this map... and know that they need to fight the energy aggregate."
Although his team composition skills aren't great, at least he's willing to study them.
Just a few seconds after the raven felt relieved, Li Ji suddenly put down the warrior and the unyielding one he was holding.
Zuo Le and Ni Yan entered the battlefield together, with Ni Yan blocking the only road to the top lane.
Zuo Le, on the other hand, stood in the way of the far right of the plot—the area that Talulah first reached after entering the passage.
"Only martial artists can deal with the Boss. I don't know how much health they can take down. If they can't even take down half of its health, then redeploying will definitely not be enough."
Raven wasn't surprised that Li Ji would deal with it in this way, because this was the only way his team could defeat the boss.
But in Raven's memory, there hasn't been any operator on a hunger strike who could solo the undying Black Serpent...
Almost everyone relied on baiting Talulah's ignition and slowly whittling her down from a distance.
After all, this damn boss will always apply the Burning Breath debuff to anyone it hits, and this debuff will reduce the damage dealt to Talulah by 50%.
Ultimately, this can only result in a situation where the target is unable to be damaged during the skill's duration and cannot survive when the skill ends.
So in recent days, Talulah seems to have become the biggest topic of conversation in the hunger strike community.
On the forum for the hunger strikers, people post every day about how much health they've reduced.
Given this situation, if someone in Gaul manages to solo kill the Black Serpent, they'll definitely release a video to celebrate... Even if it doesn't cause a huge uproar, it will at least let the higher-ups know about their heroic deeds.
Raven didn't have high hopes for an unknown team; he was simply looking to see how much damage they could inflict.
In any case, this team will eventually be wiped out by the fire rain.
This is probably the last dance of a martial artist on this stage.
"Please stop, everyone. This road is blocked."
Suddenly, as the black snake entered the passage, Zuo Le also began to move.
The second skill, [Risking Risks], is about to be unleashed.
Taking advantage of the 50% health loss effect of his second skill, his talent [Holding a Candle to Illuminate the Shadow] reached its peak in an instant under the effect of the module.
Zuo Le moved with lightning speed, his Tang sword drawing a silver arc in the moonlight, and a golden halo appeared behind him, like a dazzling red sun.
He held a Tang sword, with a solid Crimson Sun Shield enveloping his body. The blade gleamed coldly in the firelight, reflecting the brilliance of the sun.
If the Black Serpent is that incessant, malevolent fire, then Zuo Le is now like that dazzling blazing sun.
The two flames collided in an instant, and the Tang sword and longsword both made a whistling sound as they hurtled through the air, heading straight for each other's vital points!
"clang--"
The deafening clang of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield.
The sparks flew like fireworks, reflecting off their faces.
The two swayed slightly at the moment of impact, but quickly regained their footing.
Zuo Le's Tang sword curved slightly, as if bearing immense power, then instantly returned to its original shape, once again slashing towards the black snake with the force of cutting through the air.
Black Serpent quickly adjusted his posture, his flaming longsword drawing a trajectory in the air, the splashing flames like a small rain of fire, staining Zuo Le's body.
"The scorching heat debuff has been applied, but Zuo Le's skill bar seems to last until the second skill. I wonder how much damage he can deal..."
[That young man fought quite well, but unfortunately even martial artists have their limits. His lead-breathing ability is probably only up to 10% at best. I bet he could hit 30%. He seems to have real skill.]
[I bet 40%, how could it be 30%? Don't overthink it. The Blazing Breath skill is already applied; look how much damage he's dealing now. When the skill ends, the Blazing Breath will explode again; he won't survive.]
[Keep it up, little brother who won't drink milk!]
Raven, however, did not quite agree with the comments. Looking at the shield that Zuo Le had converted from his health points, he suddenly had the illusion that he could get through it.
"Blood to shield conversion, quite in line with the survival mechanism of martial artists... Could it be that there really is a chance?"
On the battlefield, both men moved with lightning speed, each collision accompanied by sparks and loud noises, as if they were about to set the entire battlefield ablaze.
But as Zuo Le's skill bar ended, his shield hadn't even completely depleted.
That is, during the interval between the two attacks by the black snake, Zuo Le's skill was ready again!
Although Zuo Le's damage was minimal due to the scorching heat, it was still very weak.
But he can keep shaving forever!
"Even a candle less than an inch long can dispel the eternal night!"
The second skill, "Risking the Risk," was activated once again, and a high attack speed and shield bonus once more enveloped Zuo Le.
Even under the influence of the scorching breath, Zuo Le was still able to visibly reduce the black snake's health bar.
"Such fast skills! Why is his skill bar spinning so fast...?"
Raven watched as Zuo Le's skill bar filled up in just a few seconds, her face practically pressed against the screen. "Did your normal attack also consume SP just now?"
"His Blazing Breath should be detonating around the time this skill ends. Will he even have a skill available next time?"
[He's still alive! Did they really let him pass away?]
[That's a fast skill! This skill spins faster than my mining card.]
[Is the first person capable of taking on Talulah one-on-one about to emerge?]
Just as everyone expected, Zuo Le's skill power was once again replenished at an unexpected speed after the second skill ended.
This time, however, Li Ji did not let Zuo Le activate it recklessly.
Just as everyone was clutching their clothes, wondering why they weren't using their skills, the detonation of Blazing Breath and Talulah's attack came at the same time!
Even the raven frowned as it looked at Li Ji, who was directing operations not far away.
But as the flames exploded on Zuo Le's body, Zuo Le still stood in front of the black snake; he... was locked in place!
"Good calculation, confident!"
