I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

The first three minutes were a close call.

But starting in the fourth minute, the situation changed.

The monsters emerging from the passage began to change.

In addition to the Scorpion People, a large number of [Venomous Sandworms] have also appeared, which will emerge from the ground and spray venom.

In an instant, the entire ground turned green, and the health of all melee fighters continued to drop.

"Heal! Dispel!" Hua Zitong shouted hurriedly.

The pressure on Qixian Liuliu and Xingchen increased sharply.

In the fifth minute, the Sandfury Spear Thrower, a ranged attack monster, spawned on the field.

They hid behind melee monsters, constantly hurling spears at the ranged group on the altar.

Chasing Wind and Ink Trace had to attack while dodging, which greatly reduced their attack efficiency.

In the sixth minute, something even more troublesome happened.

The Ghost Scorpion is a semi-transparent, stealthy monster.

They ignored the tank's defenses and appeared directly on the altar, their target being the healers in the back row!

"Back row! Watch out!" came the immovable roar.

But it was too late.

A ghostly scorpion suddenly appeared behind Xingchen, its sharp claws aimed directly at his back.

Xingchen was so frightened that his face turned pale. As a priest, he was completely unable to react.

They were about to be instantly killed.

Just then, a figure flashed by.

It's Hua Zitong!

She had drawn her sword at some point and parried the Ghost Scorpion's fatal blow with a precise parry.

"What are you standing there for! Heal yourself, then use Fear!" Hua Zitong shouted.

Xingchen then seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly cast a shield on himself, and then cast a fear spell on him.

The Ghost Scorpion let out a miserable cry and fled in terror, clutching its head.

But the crisis was not over.

More ghostly scorpions surged toward the altar from all directions, instantly shattering the entire team's formation.

"Stay calm! Don't panic!" Steel Shield shouted anxiously from the front, but he was entangled by dozens of monsters and couldn't break free at all.

The same applies to being as immovable as a mountain.

Melee fighters are running around frantically, ranged fighters are fighting individually, and healers are frantically trying to protect themselves.

The situation is on the verge of collapse.

Li Wu stood at the highest point, taking in the entire scene.

He knew that the moment of truth for the team had arrived.

Unlike before, he didn't use a powerful move to wipe out the entire field.

He simply drew his bow and shot a golden arrow at the altar at his feet.

[Multiple Arrows Field]!

A golden field, centered on him, instantly expanded outwards, enveloping the entire altar.

Then he began to shoot arrows.

One after another, the [Fusion Penetrating Arrow] was launched.

But each arrow, once fired, split into three under the influence of the domain.

Three arrows flew in three different directions, accurately hitting three ghost scorpions that were attacking their teammates.

His rate of fire was extremely fast.

Six arrows in one second.

Two seconds is twelve.

Those elusive, ghostly scorpions melted away like ice and snow exposed to the sun under his rain of arrows.

In less than ten seconds, all the dozen or so ghostly scorpions that had rushed onto the altar were wiped out.

Li Wu simply stood still, without even moving an inch.

"continue."

He uttered two words in a low voice.

But those two words acted like a shot in the arm, instantly calming everyone down.

With him around, the sky won't fall down.

Li Wu's move was like a boulder thrown into the chaotic battle, instantly clearing away all the ripples.

He didn't use any devastating area-of-effect skills, as that would make his teammates dependent on him.

He simply used the most efficient and precise point-and-click attacks to eliminate the most deadly threat, forcefully pulling the battle back from the brink of collapse.

This was even more shocking to his teammates than wiping out the entire field with a single arrow.

Because this demonstrates an absolute control over the battle situation.

"Don't just stand there! Get back to your positions!" Hua Zitong's voice rang out again; she had already reorganized the defenses.

With Li Wu as their strongest support, everyone felt at ease.

They rediscovered their rhythm.

The tanks continued to hold the line, with melee fighters clearing out high-threat targets, ranged fighters providing area-of-effect suppression, and healers stabilizing the entire raid's health.

The seventh minute, the eighth minute, the ninth minute...

The monsters' attacks grew increasingly fierce, even spawning two phantom images of Sandstorm Generals.

But for a team that has already worked together to the extreme, these are just minor troubles.

Steel Shield and Immovable Mountain, one for each, held them firmly.

With Li Wu's precise shots, the others calmly cleared out the other miscellaneous soldiers.

When the timer on the altar jumps to the last second.

All the monsters that were still attacking were instantly turned to ashes, as if a pause button had been pressed.

[System notification: You have successfully protected the Altar of the Hundred-Man Slayer.]

A huge, magnificent treasure chest slowly emerged in the center of the altar.

"it's over……"

"Oh my god, it's finally over..."

Everyone collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even move forward.

These ten minutes were more tiring than fighting two bosses combined.

Both his mind and body were on the verge of collapse.

"Well done." Li Wu jumped down from the height. This was the first time he had given a positive evaluation of the team's performance since the start of the battle.

"Hehe..." Steel Shield grinned foolishly, "It's mainly because you're awesome, guild leader."

"No, you guys took it yourselves this time." Li Wu shook his head. "I only helped out a little."

Everyone knew that the "small favor" Li Wu mentioned was the key to their success in passing this hurdle.

But hearing the president's affirmation still warmed their hearts.

"Quick, look what's in the treasure chest!" The bull couldn't wait and ran over.

The rewards inside the treasure chest are very generous.

A rare healing helmet was given to Qixian Liuli.

A rare warrior skill book, "Whirlwind Slash," made both Mad Blade and Bull's eyes turn red with envy. In the end, the two rolled for the same number, and Mad Blade narrowly won by one point, making Bull roar in anger.

In addition, there are a large number of silver coins and rare materials.

The team's strength has been greatly enhanced once again.

After resting for nearly fifteen minutes, everyone finally recovered.

"Alright, last one." Hua Zitong stood up, her expression still grave. "Zul'jin, the Desert King. Everyone, check your potions and equipment, and replenish your stats. There can be no mistakes in the upcoming battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped smiling and began to seriously make the final preparations.

They passed through the altar and walked up a staircase leading to the highest point of the temple.

At the end of the stairs was a huge, open-air circular throne room.

In the center of the hall, a giant scorpion-man, several times larger than the Sandstorm General, was lazily reclining on a throne made of countless bones and gold.

He was the master of this temple, the former king of the Tanaris desert.

Zul'jin, the Desert King (Leader)

[Level: 35]
