In a crowd of tens of thousands vying for the BOSS, the chances are pitifully small. If you have the strength, it's called prediction; if not, it's just blind guessing. Instead of guessing blindly, it's better to do something with certainty.
Currently, two-thirds of the Electric Zombie King has been lured out, meaning if the lure ultimately fails, this two-thirds journey will be the path it must take back.
Li Wu can completely set up an ambush in advance, waiting quietly for the Electric Zombie King to turn back.
Although the mine shaft has been divided into several sections by players, the deeper parts are interconnected. Li Wu kept walking inward along Mine Shaft No. 1.
There were far fewer players mining along the way than before. Most were near the entrance, mining while waiting for the excitement. The deeper he went, the fewer players there were, and in the depths, players were scarce, even though Mine Shaft No. 1 was not the path announced on the public screen for luring the monster.
Li Wu opened the chat log with Spicy Rabbit to check the message he had sent to the girl earlier.
Without pen and paper, Li Wu sent the important coordinate nodes via private chat to Spicy Rabbit, who hadn't logged in yet.
The girl was a tool when online and a notepad when offline.
After delving into the mine, Li Wu overturned his previous assumptions because he suddenly realized that the Electric Zombie King might not necessarily follow the lure path back.
The paths in the mine are intricate. The Death Warriors found the BOSS by turning left at the ninth fork of the main tunnel and then taking the fourth branch.
But the BOSS might not retrace its steps and could take any path back.
So, the most reliable place is still the fourth branch where the BOSS was initially discovered.
The success or failure of the lure would soon be known, and since Li Wu took a detour from Mine Shaft No. 1, he didn't have much time left.
He hoped Junlin Tianxia could hold on a bit longer.
As if hearing Li Wu's thoughts, Junlin Tianxia's loudspeaker blared again.
Village-wide Top Message:
Junlin Tianxia: "The BOSS is about to come out. Those just watching, don't steal my kills! I won't pay for kill-stealers!"
Not long after Junlin Tianxia's loudspeaker message, the chat channel reported that the Electric Zombie King had completely turned back.
The phrase "won't pay for kill-stealers" became the trigger.
This is the disadvantage of skirmishers; without effective command, they easily fall into chaos.
Won't pay for kill-stealers, but what defines a kill-stealer? Damn it, I've been burnt to a crisp five or six times; what if you say I'm a kill-stealer?
Real kill-stealers didn't dare to show up, and those who weren't afraid of being mistaken for one hesitated, resulting in being a step late in taking over, and the BOSS completely turned back.
"That Junlin Tianxia is really a lousy player!" Li Wu cursed under his breath and hurried his steps.
At this point, Li Wu was only halfway there. Even if he managed to reach the fourth branch, he might not quickly find a suitable spot to trap the monster.
A small platform protruding from the main tunnel caught Li Wu's eye, looking perfect for blocking the line of sight. Just as he was contemplating whether to take a gamble, several lights flashed in the mining tunnel, and a zombie began to emerge from the ground not far away.
The small monsters are spawning!
[Zombie]
Level: 3
Health: 550
Attack: 65

Defense: 28
It's impossible for only one monster to spawn; the mining tunnel is likely full of zombies.
Before the zombie in front had fully emerged, Li Wu rushed over and delivered a Power Strike.
-119
-1 (Slash Damage)
-70
-26
After taking a skill hit and a regular attack, the zombie finally crawled out, its dark claws poking Li Wu.
"Hiss!"
The pain from 26 points of damage made Li Wu gasp, but it wasn't enough to slow him down.
-70
-1 (Slash Damage)
"Roar"
-26
"Hiss!"
-70
......
After five rounds of fighting with the zombie, Li Wu lost 130 health points before finally chopping the zombie down.
"Thank goodness for the Black Iron gear; otherwise, I wouldn't have managed!"
Li Wu glanced at his remaining 190 health points, sighed helplessly, and quickly started digging into the cave wall beside him.
Never mind spawning small monsters; even without them, time should be running out. Having stumbled upon a suitable spot to trap the monster, he could only gamble that the BOSS would pass this way.
After climbing onto the platform, Li Wu lay flat, leaving it to fate.
Perhaps fate wanted to bestow this incredible luck on Li Wu, as soon the sound of the Electric Zombie King's roar echoed through the mining tunnel.
Li Wu held his breath, not moving, and only stood up with a grin when he heard the Electric Zombie King bouncing around below the platform.
-1
-120 (Slash Damage)
His Talent leveled up, doubling the Slash Damage, delightful!
Just as Li Wu had thrown over two hundred stones, the Electric Zombie King suddenly launched a skill in the direction it came from, followed by a scream.
Weren't small monsters spawning? How did someone get here so quickly?
Could it be that Junlin Tianxia hadn't given up?
Though a bit surprised, Li Wu's hands didn't stop. Battling the BOSS is all about skill; just because you spent money doesn't mean I have to yield, right?
Besides, the money wasn't given to me.
"Caught up with the BOSS, mind the distance behind."
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
"Something's wrong, three have died, why isn't the BOSS moving?"
"Can't see, the view's blocked."
"I'll try again!"
"Ah~"
Though the view was blocked, the voices carried over, making Li Wu grin.
"What to do? The BOSS isn't moving, are we just giving it away? Are we still luring it?"
"Keep going, damn it, I've spent tens of thousands, and now you want me to give up?"
"You said it, don't regret it if you can't lure it out later."
"Damn! Does Junlin Tianxia have no reputation?"
"......"
Hearing the discussion from beyond his view, Li Wu paused slightly but kept his hands moving.
Junlin Tianxia isn't playing too badly, knowing to oversee the front line. No wonder he knew someone was stealing kills.
However, with the Electric Zombie King using a skill every 1.2 seconds, with him holding the aggro here, unless someone can withstand the damage, they won't even have a view.
Just as Li Wu thought, several more screams echoed, and the Electric Zombie King continued bouncing below the small platform.
Junlin Tianxia's face turned green, realizing the problem but having no solution.
These Death Warriors were just cannon fodder, afraid of losing items, not wearing any equipment, and not even having bread in their bags.
Of course, coming to die, what good equipment could they have? Even if they wore it, they'd be killed instantly.
Players who could withstand a hit from the BOSS without dying had good equipment and wouldn't be willing to come and die.
"Doesn't it seem like someone is trapping the BOSS?"
A Death Warrior who had encountered such a situation before mumbled, making Junlin Tianxia realize and quickly shout in the direction of the Electric Zombie King:
"Hey buddy, if you've trapped the BOSS, you can't kill it anyway. How about letting us have it? I'll cover the loss, plus 1 gold for mental loss compensation."
