Infinite Trial from the Giant

After knowing the attack method, the threat posed by the Minotaur is no higher than that of the Kobolds on the first level, especially since Asuna and Liz have already gotten used to it. It must be said that Kirito's previous statement was still very accurate.

The front-line strategy players, including Xia Tian's team, broke through the maze area occupied by these muscular minotaurs in less than five days and successfully found the room where the top-level BOSS was located. In total, it took less than ten days from arriving at the second floor to the BOSS room in the second-floor maze area. This speed is truly exciting.

"The second-level BOSS is a minotaur named Taurus General Balan. Unlike the Kobold Lord, there is only one guardian monster named Taurus Colonel Natto. Once defeated, it will not respawn. In addition to using sword skills like the Kobold Lord, the Taurus can also use special moves such as paralysis blast. If hit twice, they will enter a paralyzed state where they cannot move at all. I believe everyone knows what will happen if they enter this state when challenging the BOSS."

Once again in the house rented by Xia Tian and the other two, all members of the Xia Tian team gathered together to read and analyze the latest strategy guide material added to the book titled "Argo Strategy Guide: Second Floor Boss Chapter".

"I don't really believe the intelligence from the closed beta period anymore." Loki put down the strategy book in his hand and spread his hands helplessly: "Let's not talk about whether there is really only one guard and it won't spawn. Even if it is, if these two things will behave like the floor boss on the first floor, this battle can't be passed by just looking at this strategy book."

Not only Loki, but also the monster like the Kobold Lord, which didn't seem to be driven by a program at all, left an indelible impression in everyone's mind.

"Indeed, we must take this into consideration. We must focus on how to deal with this issue in tomorrow's strategy meeting." Kirito glanced at Xia Tian and then said.

It is worth mentioning that the strategy meeting for the first floor was initiated by Diabel, who first discovered the BOSS room. However, since Diabel was dead, and Lind, who inherited the command of his team, also died unfortunately, and it was Xia Tian's team that discovered the BOSS room on the second floor, at Xia Tian's initiative, the responsibility of organizing this strategy meeting and subsequent command fell on Kirito.

Of course Kirito refused at first. After all, carrying the lives of all people was still too much for Kirito now. However, under Xia Tian's persuasion, and with Liz's active encouragement to Kirito in order to show her goodwill to Xia Tian, ​​the gentle and kind-hearted boy Kirito was finally pushed into this position helplessly.

"Let me take care of this when the time comes." Following Kirito's words, Xia Tian took the initiative to take on this task.

If for no other reason, Xia Tian just wanted to reduce the risks he encountered as much as possible. If he had to deal with the BOSS alone like he did with the Gnoll Lord, it would not be a reassuring thing.

Kirito looked at Xia Tian with some gratitude and nodded quickly. He had not forgotten the scene when he was whipped away by the dog-headed man lord's tail.

"In addition to this, as Loki mentioned just now, we also need to consider whether there is only one guard or whether it will not respawn after being knocked down, as well as the response method of paralysis blast and the basic enhancement value of the required equipment."

With the pressure of carrying the lives of all the team members, Kirito tried his best to perfect all the aspects and details he could think of. The strategy meeting was held on time the day after the internal discussion. Although Kirito was not as cheerful and talkative as Diabel, as an extremely experienced closed beta player, Kirito showed a very professional feeling when explaining the BOSS-related moves, mechanisms, and the most effective means to deal with paralysis blasting to all the players who came to the meeting. During the entire strategy meeting, even Kiba, who was worried that summer whether he would come out to make trouble again, did not make trouble and listened quietly.

As for the conflict between ordinary players and closed beta players, those gathered here at this time are basically the players at the forefront of the game. Everyone has the same goal, which is to work together to complete the game. So for this conflict, even if there are grudges, most people are very rational and suppress it in their hearts. The remaining few, like Ya Wang, naturally know not to make trouble when seeing such a situation.

"The above is all the information that can be analyzed from the strategy book. I hope everyone can still take the time to read it carefully after the meeting. Although we cannot completely trust the information in the closed beta stage, it can still serve as a reference. The most important thing to note is that the move called Paralysis Blast must not be used twice."

“Apart from these, what else? You should have remembered the situation with the BOSS on the first floor, what should we do if it becomes like that? That kind of behavior is totally inconsistent with the monster's mechanism, and it is simply not feasible to fight it with the normal team switching mode.” As soon as Kirito finished speaking, someone in the player group raised this question, and his question soon triggered a burst of low discussions.

"If that situation happens again, immediately abandon command and respond flexibly as a team." Before Kirito could say anything, Xia Tian had already stood up beside him.

Most of the players present had participated in the first-level BOSS strategy battle, including the player who asked the question just now. Naturally, they all knew Xia Tian. When they saw Xia Tian stand up, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"As for the common monsters we are dealing with, whether it's the wind bees or the minotaur in the maze, you will find that they are all programmed to act according to a set pattern. Although they have simple AI, at best they can only make simple changes according to our attack or defense methods."

As he spoke, Xia Tian slowly moved to the center of the field. His eyes swept over all the players on the field from left to right, and then he continued, "But that Kobold Lord that has clearly jumped out of the program framework is different. You can't just treat it as an opponent created with a fixed framework in the game. If you really want to say it, you should treat the battle with this kind of enemy as PVP."

"The enemy is intelligent, just like us, so when fighting, it is not advisable to just think about how to use sword skills. Think more about the enemy's next move."

"Although as a BOSS, the enemy's attack, defense, and health are superior to ours, but fortunately, apart from this, we have the advantage in everything else. We are familiar with its skills, we have more people than it, and our faith is stronger than it. So if we cooperate well with each other and make the whole team become one, the enemy will not be our opponent."

“We will win.”
