Spider Cave 4

Shadow Clone Technique is a skill designed to confuse opponents. However, for experienced players, it's easy to distinguish between the real and the fake. Therefore, the confusion aspect is more significant against NPCs. In player versus player battles, ninjas often use Shadow Clone Technique as a teleportation skill.

At this moment, that's exactly what Jun Mo Xiao was doing. His fake body remained in place while his real body instantly moved to the four o'clock position originally guarded by Yue Zhongmian using the Shadow Clone Technique.

The others were still worried because combat mages at level ten didn't have displacement skills like theirs. How was Jun Mo Xiao going to push the spider boss back?

They soon realized their concerns were unnecessary. Jun Mo Xiao might not have had the skill, but he had the technique. A sky strike lifted the spider boss slightly, and he seized the moment to perform a consecutive thrust, pushing the spider boss towards Yue Zhongmian.

Yue Zhongmian was now at the eleven o'clock position, which was originally Jun Mo Xiao's, with Jun Mo Xiao's shadow clone standing beside him. Yue Zhongmian felt quite embarrassed at this point. He wished Jun Mo Xiao would scold him, but the man said nothing and accurately pushed the boss towards him.

Yue Zhongmian knew what to do; a consecutive thrust followed, and the giant spider was kicked away again.

Yue Zhongmian was mentally prepared for criticism from everyone, but what he heard was their surprise: "It's bleeding."

The bleeding wasn't from any of the players, but from the spider boss. This bleeding status wasn't something that could be caused by any ordinary attack; it had to be an effect of a weapon or a skill.

No one's weapon had that effect at the moment.

But there was a skill that did.

Consecutive thrust, the combat mage's consecutive thrust. However, the bleeding from consecutive thrust was a hidden effect, not triggered by chance, but by the player's own execution.

The method to trigger it was to make both attacks of the consecutive thrust overlap on the same part of the target. The same part meant not just hitting the arm twice. It meant that where the first strike pierced a hole, the second strike had to pierce into the same hole. Only after achieving this would the bleeding effect have a chance to be triggered. Since it was a hidden effect, there was no data display, but after player testing, it was roughly determined to be about a 50% chance.

This chance was already quite high, but the prerequisite was to complete this operation. It was easy to do on a stationary target, but in the constantly moving reality of combat, one had to be quick and accurate.

In Glory, there were many hidden skill effects like this that required strong operation to execute.

If an ordinary person managed to cause bleeding with consecutive thrust, Tian Qi and the others might think it was luck. But when Ye Kai did it with Jun Mo Xiao, they unanimously believed it was skill. They were thoroughly convinced by Ye Kai's operation. Not just in terms of operation, but also in controlling and encircling the boss, and in team command, he was seamless. This person wasn't just a master; he was a master among masters.

Tian Qi was already feeling somewhat embarrassed to recruit Ye Kai. Their Moonwheel Guild wasn't really anything special in Glory, ranking beyond the top fifty, without any dungeon records held by them. Such an ordinary guild, Tian Qi himself felt, did not match this person's skills.

The others, whether they had the same thoughts as Tian Qi or not, all just silently continued attacking. There were inevitably some minor oversights during the process, but Ye Kai was always timely in his reminders, preventing any major disasters, and Boss No. 1 was killed without much trouble. A blue piece of equipment dropped from the corpse, and since it was low-level gear that would soon be outdated, no one really cared. However, at this time, they all unanimously asked Jun Mo Xiao to pick it up. Yue Zhongmian, although silent, also chose to pass.

Ye Kai saw that it was a level 10 blue belt, better than nothing. Since everyone passed, he didn't hesitate to pick it up and put it on, then continued forward.

The following fights were similar. Boss No. 2 was a web-spitting ranged attacker, annoyingly often sticking to the walls and jumping around like Spider-Man. However, under Ye Kai's command, the five of them eventually cornered the creature. This time, it wasn't about bouncing the boss around but rather taking turns using skills with stun effects. Under Ye Kai's coordination, they stunned Boss No. 2 to death without it spitting out a single web.

The four players' admiration for Ye Kai deepened yet another layer. He was their MT, the main force in output, occasionally healing them, and then also arranging tactics and commanding the implementation... They were beyond words, just worship upon worship.

The Spider King, the final boss of the Spider Cave dungeon, was also a challenging point of the dungeon. It combined the specialties of the two smaller spider bosses, being able to spit webs and spray poison. Its eight hairy legs and the patterned rings on its belly were particularly disgusting against the backdrop of its even larger size compared to the two smaller bosses.

Facing this final boss, Tian Qi and the others were not nervous at all because they knew that under Jun Mo Xiao's command, dealing with this two-in-one boss wouldn't be a problem.

As they expected, the fight was thrilling but not dangerous. The two-in-one Spider King was nothing more than a fatter version of Bosses No. 1 and No. 2, with a few more tricks. Ye Kai led the four players to control the situation and ultimately defeated it.

First kill!

The system announcement now prominently listed the names of the five-person team.

Yue Zhongmian, Tian Qi, Mu Yunshen, Qian Shengli, Jun Mo Xiao, the first to defeat the Spider Cave in District 10!

From surprise to ecstasy, Tian Qi and the others were overjoyed. They weren't slow in leveling up, but they never expected to snatch the first kill of the Spider Cave. This was all thanks to having the great expert Jun Mo Xiao; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth.

"Damn!" At the same time, a five-person team inside the Spider Cave of a newbie village exclaimed in unison upon seeing the system announcement.

In front of them, the final boss, the Spider King, was left with a sliver of health, just ten seconds away from defeat. But now, they had lost by those ten seconds.

Regret and unwillingness filled them as they imagined countless ways they could have made up those ten seconds, but they had to face reality. They had grand ambitions to secure the first kill of all dungeons in District 10 for their guild, and now, on just the second dungeon, the first kill had already gone to someone else.

They lost by just ten seconds.

"Jun Mo Xiao? Isn't that the guy who got the first kill of the Night Cat Demon?" The Spider King had fallen, and the five of them had successfully cleared the dungeon, but there was no joy.

"It seems to be him."

"Who is this guy? He's been on the announcement twice now, just like you, Blue River!"
