Li Yao said with a wry smile, "Didn’t we get the equipment ready? You all saw it. I stumbled upon the main quest line’s clue out of curiosity, but it led me to such a lousy dungeon."

Li Yao didn’t expect such a twist, and running into Starfire people is actually a good thing.

"Hahaha, this unexpected encounter is great, acting together with the boss is always thrilling. This time we can really go all out." Mu Zi said excitedly.

The other members of the Core Group are also very excited. It’s truly a rare opportunity to act alongside Li Yao.

Li Yao looked at Sister Li and asked, "Your mission is to rescue that Great Mage?"

Sister Li nodded and said, "Yes, I didn’t expect it. I usually don’t take tasks easily, but accepting the path of the strong led to this. It seems that the Great Mage is at a higher level, and completing the task won’t be easy."

Qin Feng Yi nodded, "We better prepare soon. I feel the teams from the other pathways are looking at us strangely."

Tong Tong snorted, "Of course, they’re seeing us as the biggest threat and want to eliminate us first. Guarding the entrance with no worries behind us, plus Big Brother here, makes us invincible. Let them come. The rules everywhere are just about killing; however you kill, it’s killing. They find killing together more satisfying anyway."

Li Yao nodded, "Alright, let’s advance to the entrance and check it out first."

Nearly a hundred members of the Starfire Core Group lined up in the original formation.

Similarly, Starfire sent a ten-person team to the rear to intercept opponents, ensuring absolute safety. Spider tanks, Death Gods, Snake Ladies, and Succubi were stationed in the passage to guarantee rear security.

In the narrow passageway, the Succubus Queen can summon a large number of Hellhounds. Hellhounds alone can almost ensure rear security. There are more than a thousand Hellhounds at the entrance.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the entrance, two Elemental Pets summoned by the Dragon Queen, Multisnake, two Dragon Queens, and Magic Armors are ready, with the only exception being the sea monster, which can’t be summoned on land. fre ewebnove l.com

At the forefront and perimeter are advancing Hellhounds, followed by Li Yao as the Dark Ranger with his summoned Skeletons. Although he rarely used his Skeletons, they were constantly evolving.

After reaching the maximum level, the Dark Ranger’s passive skill advances further. He can now summon five hundred Skeletons instead of the original two hundred, and the revived Skeletons are of intermediate Chief level, an upgrade. Although Li Yao has gathered two hundred, there is a gap of three hundred, but it’s not a problem. In a battle, with Li Yao’s speed, the deficiency will be quickly filled.

Additionally, there are summons from Starfire Core Group members, such as the Mage’s Water Elementals, the Magician’s Demons, the Summoner’s contract pets, and the Hunter’s adorable pets.

Among them, besides Li Yao, Qin Feng Yi has the strongest summoning lineup.

She summoned twenty Iron Stone Demons, one hundred Ice Skeletons, one hundred Fire Skeletons, and one hundred Poison Skeletons, all of leader level. Three Gold Generals of race level were summoned for assistance, five high-level chief ghosts for support, and the Skeleton Throne to enhance the Undead with various auras.

It’s quite a powerful lineup, and with her ultimate ability, she can create a massive skeleton resembling a mountainous fortress, definitely top-tier among today’s Necromancer players.

The others summoned a mix of different creatures, whereas Tong Tong summoned high-quality Elemental Lords, especially with four formidable high race level elemental chiefs, ensuring they would remain indestructible with the totem hidden at the back.

Starfire’s efficiency is still very high, quickly aligning their formation. Originally a hundred members squad, together with various summons, formed nearly three thousand, layered inside and out, occupying a single entrance.

The players at other entrances felt a bit frustrated. The guilds hesitating finally made up their minds.

Keeping at a stalemate like this isn’t a solution; merely slaying monsters won’t open the passage to the upper level. The deadlock must be broken.

Everyone else is an enemy, except for one team.

Starfire watched as they united together, but Starfire did not communicate with other teams, because everyone in Starfire knows it’s too powerful for anyone to collaborate with them.

Soon, several players went to the entrance occupied by Starfire.

Leading them was a human Magician who stepped forward and said, "We represent all the guilds at other entrances. We have joined forces, and surely Starfire understands why we had to unite."

In the absence of Li Yao, Sister Li usually handles regular guild tasks.

The dungeon strategy usually falls under the guidance of Fruit Knight and Guardian Angel, and conflicts, especially player guild battles, are handled by Enchantress.

Although Li Yao met them, he didn’t take command, nor did he need to.

While experienced, Li Yao doesn’t specialize in team command. For team battles, Enchantress has more experience.

Thus, Enchantress stepped forward and said coolly, "Is there any point in further discussion? You think by joining forces you can make Starfire yield? You may have many people, but are you sure you can pull it off? Whatever strategy or words you deploy, let’s see what you’ve got. Relying solely on numbers and rhetoric won’t get you far."

"I am Battle Flame, commander of the Longevity Guild, hardly an unknown figure. I won’t advise you to back down, as it’s impossible. Everyone knows how messed up the rules are here. We must have enough slaughtering to open the passage, yet we don’t know how much slaughtering is required. Maybe half, maybe just a few teams, or perhaps only one team will remain."

Enchantress frowned slightly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Battle Flame said, "I want to say both sides are facing two choices now. First, you might have guessed it: we unite to eliminate Starfire first, then continue competing, or Starfire eliminates us—all leading to a battle with unknown outcomes."

"Starfire is way too formidable. Many teams don’t want to fight against Starfire. Starfire itself is extremely strong, plus having a team with four world-level chiefs—even if victorious, it would be brutal. So we propose a second solution."

Enchantress raised her eyebrows slightly, realizing, "The second solution is for Starfire to stand by and not participate in the battle?"

Battle Flame nodded, "Enchantress is very clever, but you’ve only guessed the first part. Our intention is for Starfire to stand by, not joining the slaughter. The rest will rely on their abilities; Starfire only needs to make a contract. Once the passage opens, Starfire will be the last team to enter the next layer among the remaining teams."...
