With perfect teamwork, the players completed the fifth wave with zero casualties.
Yu Cang, who had just been feeling exhausted, was suddenly elated after seeing the boss fall—he felt invincible.
Look at him, what an outstanding player! Becoming a top-tier pro was just around the corner.
But as soon as the fifth wave of monsters began attacking, the leisure of the previous round vanished instantly.
The fifth wave’s monsters were a herd of rams. Their charge was fierce, and their thick wool protected them from many attacks.
Under the onslaught of the herd, the players’ newly gained confidence collapsed in an instant, and they scattered in panic.
The rams’ horns were long and sharp—if you got hit, your guts could get pierced, leaving you no chance to be saved.
But the most troublesome part wasn’t the rams’ attack power—it was that the single spawn point suddenly became two.
Using the base as the center, the old spawn point was to the southwest, and the new one to the northeast.
An Suisui immediately notified the frontline players of this change.
Jian Shi was so startled by the news that he almost got his wrist gored by a ram.
He steadied himself and frowned at the other players.
Could these people even hold the other side?
The situation was urgent. Jian Shi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I’ll hold this side alone. All of you go to the other side.”
Yu Cang hesitated, “You’re going to hold a spawn point by yourself? Can you do it?”
Jian Shi snorted, “If you’re my teammates, I have no choice but to manage.”
Yu Cang was half infuriated.
Was this guy saying they were too weak and dragging him down?
But there was no helping it—Jian Shi was right. His overall ability was strong, and the other spawn point’s attack wasn’t any weaker. Even if they all went, they might not be able to hold it.
An Suisui was also strong, but she had to guard the main base and couldn’t join the front lines.
No one else could handle logistics except her.
At this point, there was no choice but to trust Jian Shi.
Duan Qingyang finished off a monster and immediately ran toward the other spawn point.
The other players silently followed.
With everyone’s efforts, very few monsters managed to break through to the main base.
An Suisui didn’t feel relaxed at all—in fact, she was even more anxious.
She could see the situation was getting harder for the players, and the mini-boss hadn’t even appeared yet.
What would happen when the mini-boss showed up?
“Don’t be afraid, I’m still here! Go, Suisui! You’re the best!”
An Suisui clenched her fists, cheering herself on.
She watched every player’s actions, searching her memory for everything she knew about rams.
Easing her teammates’ burden was her top priority.
Just then, An Suisui saw two rams suddenly start fighting each other in the open, completely ignoring the players, as if they had a deep grudge. The fight didn’t stop until one ram killed the other.
An Suisui suddenly remembered that while most rams are gentle, some breeds are extremely aggressive—the monsters they were facing were exactly this type.
She stood up and shouted to both groups of players, “Don’t chase the rams! These guys are hot-tempered and love to fight. You can guide them to attack each other!”
Jian Shi paused, his blade glancing off a ram’s horn.
The ram was instantly enraged and charged at him.
Perfect!
A glint flashed in Jian Shi’s eyes. As the ram charged, he dodged, causing it to crash into another ram behind him.
The ram in the back, suddenly attacked, flew into a rage and immediately butted its companion.
The other ram didn’t back down, and the two started a fierce fight.
With the rams fighting each other, Jian Shi’s pressure eased considerably.
He repeated the trick, pairing up all the rams and then picking them off one by one from the sidelines.
On the other side, the players at the new spawn point were struggling as more and more rams piled up, making things harder.
Hearing An Suisui’s shout, Duan Qingyang decided to give it a try.
He took a deep breath and tried to provoke two rams into fighting. Sure enough, just as An Suisui said, these guys were all hotheads.
Once they started fighting, they didn’t care about friend or foe—it was a fight to the death.
Stirring up internal conflict among the rams was even easier than he’d expected.
With this method, the players finally got a breather, and An Suisui’s anxiety eased.
Even so, she kept a close eye on the spawn points.
She knew that even though they’d found the monsters’ weakness, the mini-boss hadn’t appeared yet.
Suddenly, a unique brown figure appeared among the rams.
An Suisui’s heart skipped a beat, and she focused on the figure.
Though it was well hidden, An Suisui was standing high up, so as soon as it poked its head out, she spotted it.
It was a nimble sheepdog.
A sheepdog!
An Suisui’s alarm bells rang—this was bad.
Just as she feared, after the sheepdog appeared, wherever it went, the rams immediately stopped fighting and turned their aggression back toward the players.
The sheepdog carefully moved among the herd, never directly attacking the players, so they hadn’t noticed its presence.
They only realized something was wrong when the rams, who had been fighting, suddenly stopped and started chasing them again.
What was going on?
Yu Cang clutched his butt, which had just been slashed by a ram’s horn, blood streaming down.
He shouted in frustration, “Are you kidding me? Weren’t they just fighting? Have these rams gone crazy?”
An Suisui took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
Her throat was hoarse from shouting, and there was no water to soothe it, but she forced herself to keep her voice strong.
“It’s the sheepdog! A sheepdog just came out of the spawn point. You have to take care of it first—if it’s around, the rams won’t fight each other!”
This was probably the mini-boss’s special ability—otherwise, there’s no way the rams would stop fighting so quickly.
She glanced at the other side. Jian Shi had already noticed the sheepdog as soon as it appeared and quickly took it out, so his side was still under control.
An Suisui breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention back to the player alliance.
