Absolute Death Game-Chapter 503 - 4 Who Will Tank Dragon_2
Xiao Buli saw that everyone was looking at him with fixed eyes, knowing that they had all taken in what he had said. His biggest fear was that at this moment someone careless and sloppy would appear—one person causing an accident because he hadn't listened was a minor issue, but leading others into trouble would be inexcusable.
Xiao Buli continued to explain, "Devour LV5: Devours a target of medium size or smaller, inflicting continuous fire damage for 60 seconds.
Devour - Death Spit LV1: Can be activated after a successful Devour hit, spitting out the devoured target, causing blunt hit damage based on the spit distance.
This skill can be said to be the nemesis of human-shaped MTs, so it's necessary to use tanks of large size or above to tank. Of course, you could also prepare by using Enlarging Techniques beforehand, so if anyone pulls too much aggro, they must be extra careful."
The above summarizes all the combat skills and basic properties of the Little Red Dragon. Since it's a pre-battle exercise, the Little Red Dragon's skills are close to those of the Great Red Dragon. However, the Great Red Dragon's skills and properties will be enhanced during the actual battle. Besides, the Great Red Dragon has an additional shape-shifting ability, allowing it to transform into a human form. Of course, that's a problem we'll have to face after today. For now, if anyone has any questions or doubts, please raise them immediately," Xiao Buli scanned the group, saw that no one spoke, and knew that the others were all veteran players. Moreover, this game was a matter of life and death, and no one would make light of their own life. Thus, after a brief pause, he continued, "If there are no questions, then I'll start dividing the groups."
Actually, everyone was stupefied by Xiao Buli's detailed data. In other games, if you went into a fight with a boss without a guide, getting wiped several times was common because you didn't know anything about the boss's skill attributes. Only after fighting three or four times, getting a handle on all its skills, and knowing when it would attack and unleash its ultimate moves, could you easily handle it. At this moment, Xiao Buli's detailed data were practically no different from a game guide. Could it be that he had already slain such a dragon? But if that were true, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths with everyone. Or perhaps there was another mysterious organization behind him, providing this information? With this thought, Xiao Buli's image in everyone's minds became not only powerful but also shrouded in mystery.
Before starting the group division, Xiao Buli looked over everyone's expressions once again. Just a couple of days ago, these people were defiant and disgruntled, but now they were obedient like sheep, with no one raising any questions. This somewhat surprised him, but upon reflection, it made sense considering the strength he had shown in the past few days and his familiarity with the game—not to mention the fact that they were facing such a formidable enemy about which they knew nothing, which was enough reason for their compliance.
Xiao Buli felt a little pleased internally, then proceeded to announce the group assignments, "Our team will be split into four groups. Everyone should be clear about the group they belong to and the tasks they need to undertake. In the midst of action, I don't want to see anyone slacking off because this game is not just about grinding for experience.
First is Group One, the melee group, with Han Wenhuan as the leader. Members include Xiao Ge (Weapon Controller), Han Wenhuan (Divine General), Qin Dahai (Military General), Wang Xiong (Barbarian Warrior), He Suoju (Sword Master), Yi Xuan (Taoist), etc." To ensure these people understood their roles, Xiao Buli made eye contact with each person after saying their name.
However, when he mentioned Yi Xuan, he visibly saw a look of confusion in his eyes. Sure enough, just as Xiao Buli finished speaking, Yi Xuan immediately raised his hand, "Hold on!" Yi Xuan called out, "Shouldn't my skills be with the ranged group?" Yi Xuan had never expected to be at the front line. He was hoping his relationship with Xiao Buli would afford him some care, so why was he assigned the role of cannon fodder in the first battle? Although Han Wenhuan's presence was somewhat comforting, he couldn't help but voice his question.
Xiao Buli nodded, as Yi Xuan's question was well within his calculations, so he explained with a steady tone, "Under normal circumstances, that would be the case. However, considering that the damage dealt by your offensive spells can basically be ignored, and your support spells are rather powerful, taking into account the composition of our entire team, I need you more as a healer in the melee group. Your rune armor can effectively absorb damage, so I need you to cast it on anyone in the melee group who is in danger. The rest of the time, you'll primarily be responsible for healing those who are losing health. How does that sound, any more questions?"
Yi Xuan, hearing he wouldn't have to engage in close combat, let out a huge sigh of relief. He thought to himself that Xiao Buli knew his capabilities well and wouldn't make him take such a risk. Although the thought of hovering beside a giant dragon still worried him a bit, this arrangement was a good outcome for him. He nodded eagerly, "No problem."
Xiao Buli nodded back at Yi Xuan and continued, "The second team is the Hunter Team, led by Lin Feng. Given that we have quite a few hunters in our group, they'll form a separate team responsible for ranged firepower. Those of you with pets, let them loose as they can also absorb some damage. Considering that your attacks won't do much damage to the Red Dragon's armor, I will assign you some frost arrows which I believe will significantly increase the damage done to the Red Dragon. We'll need to test the actual effect in combat."
"The third team is the Engineering group, led by Li Shuren. I've already talked to all of you in the crafting professions, so I won't go through names again here. You are the main event this time. Build a large number of crossbow guns here, and as soon as the battle starts, you can provide fire support from a distance." A bunch of "craftsmen" nodded. They were often seen as a burden in battles, but this time Xiao Buli's emphasis on their strength really made them feel valued.

"Good, the fourth team is the Support group, which I will personally lead. Members include Gu Shaobang (Wizard), Du Yibo (Five Elements Warlock)..." After he read out these names, some of those present showed slightly awkward expressions, thinking to themselves how the Support group was all big shots. What was going on here?
Xiao Buli knew there might be questions in everyone's minds and immediately proceeded to explain, "The composition of our group is rather complex; our main job is to deal with unexpected incidents to avoid a complete wipe due to special circumstances. As for the details, I believe everyone will recognize the importance of this group after the battle is over. Alright, any other questions?" Xiao Buli asked loudly.
"Well..." Han Wenhuan couldn't help but speak up at this point. Ever since the announcement of the melee group was complete, everyone had been quietly anxious. After hesitating for a while, it was Han Wenhuan, who was closest to Xiao Buli, who brought it up. "Boss, you still haven't assigned anyone to tank the dragon."
Even though no one had discussed it, this was a question all members of the melee group shared. All were seasoned gamers, well-versed with the process of boss fights. Normally, the tank role was taken up by those with melee abilities. Today, though everyone in the team was strong, none were confident enough to volunteer to tank a dragon. The fact that Xiao Buli had not yet addressed the issue of the tank made everyone more puzzled. Were they all supposed to advance together? Or was it a case of bad luck for whoever ended up tanking? That would surely lead to a team wipe.
When Xiao Buli heard this question, he smiled slightly. He had kept his final trump card a secret even from his own brothers, saying that everyone would know when the time came. Therefore, with a smile of confidence and pride on his lips, he nodded to everyone, "Indeed, I haven't said because this dragon will be tanked by me—" Xiao Buli deliberately drew out the last syllable, which normally would be followed by his personal commitment to tank the dragon.
