Upon seeing the boss’s attributes, everyone drew a cold breath. The characteristics alone were already insane, not to mention the unimaginably fierce skills.

“Should I explain the combat mechanics of the Elite level Blazing Corpse? Several viewers have sent bullet comments. Most guilds are currently stuck at this stage,” Feng Yi suggested.

“No need. Comparisons won’t help much. Elite levels mainly rely on equipment and attributes. Once these are sufficient, high-level techniques aren’t necessary. But it’s different with the Master level. It heavily relies on strategy and methods, although equipment and attributes remain paramount.”

Li Yao frowned and said, “Let’s try once ourselves and understand its combat mechanism. Prepare buffs and approach. Try to spread out first.”

Fruit Knight, the Paladin, slowly went forward, casting Sanction Hammer immediately followed by Consecration.

Damage-dealing and healing classes also spread out to their positions.

“Aggro is stable. You can deal damage now.”

After the Paladin’s command, numerous attacks poured onto the Blazing Corpse.

However, its armor and elemental resistance were too lofty. The so-called junior resistance of a certain element wasn’t a fixed figure. It could range between 1-100, all counted as junior.

Li Yao’s team clearly had top-tier gear, but their average damage was only in the 200s or 300s, with Li Yao doing slightly more at around 400.

“This boss deals such high regular damage.”

Even the typically calm Fruit Knight looked worried.

Deadly Poisonous Bite!

Fruit Knight’s health suddenly dropped to one-third. Stone Knight and Da Vinci swiftly healed him back up.

For a Main Tank, the primary gear attribute is strength, followed by endurance.

Full endurance equipment could give them over a thousand health points. Having a few items of purple-rated gear could bump up the total to around 1500.

However, for field battles, Tanks don’t usually gear up like this. They generally equip gear optimized for dealing damage, focusing on strength as the main attribute, followed by agility.

Fruit Knight’s dungeon gear is completely endurance-oriented, bringing his health to a frightening 1600. However, a Deadly Poisonous Bite immediately reduced his health by 1000, and worse still, he was afflicted with a continuous poison effect, causing his health to drain rapidly.

“Fruit, step back and let a new Tank take over. Stone, you’re up.”

Fruit, poisoned and under boss’s continuous attacks, had a hard time maintaining his health.

“Alright.”

With a taunt from Stone, he accepted the boss’s aggro. The Blazing Corpse wasn’t unusually large and didn’t have a significant advantage in strength.

There was very little worry about being knocked back or down, but the skill damage was devastating. Stone initially felt excited, hoping to show off his skills, but after being hit by a Savage Tear, his health dropped to the 200s from over a thousand, and everyone was scared.

Fruit Knight quickly taunted the boss back to him. Stone would have been doomed if not for Fruit as not even the healers could save him with time.

Both Tanks, despite having top-tier armor and health, could barely sustain the continuous attacks. Healers were under immense pressure. Exchanging Tanks was the only way to alleviate some of that pressure.

However, when the boss lost 10,000 health points, a bolt of lightning hit the Shadow Dance, killing him instantly before anyone could understand what happened.

Before Li Yao could say anything, a Fireball abruptly blasted Stone in the face, instantly killing him as he was already low on health and was aggroing the boss at that moment.

Soon after, an Ice Bolt hit Sky and Sea, leading to his immediate death. Within moments, the team lost three players, including the auxiliary Tank.

“It must be Static Displacement. Everyone stay calm and keep fighting,” said Li Yao calmly.

The panicking players immediately resumed damage dealing but with the loss of primary support, they were on thin ice.

Li Yao ultimately summoned his Fire Eagle. However, it was just a player’s pet and not quite up to par, having merely around 30,000 health, incomparable to Blazing Corpse.

In reality, the Blazing Corpse’s health was like an upgraded version of an ordinary Wild-Boss for ten players.

In ordinary dungeons, teams half-outfitted with blue equipment could pass without hanging by a thread. For the Elite dungeons, teams entirely outfitted with blue equipment could pass with some skills and strategies. But for Master level, finding a strategy to counter the boss is crucial as Purple-tiered gear isn’t going to be enough.

With a new round of skills being executed by the boss as its health dwindled, the field couldn’t cope with healing the steadily degrading players. In the Stone Hall, most players were already dead.

“Let’s wipe,” declared Li Yao. With only three players left standing, they couldn’t continue the fight.

The first attempt ended in failure as they managed to whittle the boss’s health down to only 78%.

The team gathered around the pathway leading to the Grand Hall.

“Can you ask the viewers for the progress of the Carnival Competition?” Li Yao said.

“A viewer just mentioned that a guild is close to passing the Elite Blazing Corpse. Their last wipe was at 5%. They should be okay this time,” Feng Yi reported.

“Good. We also have to get through on our second attempt,” Li Yao replied indifferently. “We cannot fall behind. Otherwise, we will lose our chance.”

“Let alone the strategies, our gear setup isn’t good enough, the attributes are too weak,” voiced Sky and Sea.

“It’s a tad bit underpowered, but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible,” thought Li Yao, frowning while coming up with a plan.

During his previous life, the Blazing Corpse Master-mode had been a roadblock for even top-tier guilds for over half a month. Not to mention ordinary players who, even after gaining several levels, were only able to get through it in limited numbers.

He vaguely remembered the cheats, but there was a problem. Their current lineup was not enough, and the equipment was unsuitable, as Sky and Sea had pointed out. Apart from himself, only one or two others were qualified. Those strategies were unfitting.

“If you say it’s doable, do you have any strategy in mind? The sooner we test it, the better. If it takes too long, the shock effect will be lost, and it doesn’t help to achieve your goal.”, Fruit Knight said.

“Hmm, regular strategies won’t work. The Blazing Corpse’s Elemental Field is too powerful. Melee classes fall instantly if they can’t escape in time. Thus, surprise is our best chance.”

Li Yao finally thought of a viable option, which he started sketching out in the ground. He then explained where each player should stand and what to do.

After listening to Li Yao’s brainstorm, everyone was speechless. Sky and Sea gave him a thumbs-up. “Brother Prairie Fire, whether this method can beat this boss or not, I take my hat off to you for coming up with it.”

The other teammates nodded in agreement, especially Stone Knight, whose admiration for Li Yao had notably increased…
