Chapter 575 Not Listening
Chapter 575 Not Listening
They immediately stopped their work, and their (Dark Elf) supervisor slammed the big red button, causing the alarm to blare loudly, signalling to everyone that there were intruders in Santa\'s House. Afterwards, the elves mercilessly threw gifts at them, which transformed into incomplete versions of the Spartan Toy Soldiers.
Some of the Toy Soldiers were missing hands, legs or even heads! So, they were not too much of a threat as compared to the elves who were throwing the gifts at them. However, just one minute into the Boss Instance, Evil Santa appeared right in front of their eyes with a great big smile.
For some reason, the group felt that Evil Santa was … A little too tall!
Unlike the past few times when they saw him in the WunderPanda Theme Park, he was at least three to four heads taller in size. "It\'s the Boss Mechanics! Jin purposely made Evil Santa bigger so we can have more space to run around him! Watch out for his attacks!" Bu Dong announced, but Yue Han and his girlfriend Xing Li decided to make the first move against the Evil Santa.
"Damn it, Yue Han! We need to clear the minions first!" Bu Dong shouted, but his friend was not listening to him at all.
"Do you think those elves will disappear and not come back to haunt us again later in the future form?" Yue Han asked as he used his Sword Arts to damage Evil Santa. Xing Li, on the other hand, had learnt a few support techniques from her Henotic Hedgehog Cultivation to assist her boyfriend.
Yue Han did have a point, but at the same time, if no one stopped the blaring alarm, it was guaranteed that more elves would continue to swarm into from the Santa\'s house. Bu Dong remembered reading how there were intervals where the elves would continue to disrupt the Evil Santa Boss Fight due to the alarm.
Unsurprisingly, the second form could summon more elves as reinforcement anyway, but it would at least be useful to get rid of the annoying small fries, while Evil Santa was in its easiest form.
"Deng Long! I need you to go find the alarm controls or at least destroy the speakers or something!" Bu Dong dictated, and Deng Long who had been fighting to defend himself so far went on the offensive.
"Okay, but I need someone to follow me as backup! I don\'t think I have enough attack power against that many elves and toy Spartan soldiers!" Deng Long said as he whacked the head of an elf, rupturing his eardrums and causing him to fall unconscious.
As he was about to use more strength to kill the elf, a bullet went through the middle of the elf\'s head. "I can be your backup." Jing Ru, the Giraffe Cultivator, offered as she aimed towards the speakers in this room and disabled them with a spray of bullets.
"Thank you. I will gladly accept it." Deng Long said with a nod as he rushed forth forward rushing into the nearest room they could find.
With Yue Han and Xing Li distracting the Evil Santa Boss, the rest were able to clear the elves, but it was not without difficulty. With only four cultivators that hadn\'t worked together much in previous dungeons, their aptitude and attitude were put to the test.
Although the university girls treated Bu Dong like a younger brother since they hung out with each other frequently enough, they simply could not stand the orders Bu Dong gave even though he was giving them based on what he knew about them and their fighting style.
While most of the orders were logical, they did not want to be micromanaged and prefered just having fun in this special instance as proposed earlier.
Shi Hui and Jia Ying eventually started going at their own pace and trying out some of their unmastered attacks instead of following whatever orders he gave. As for Yue Wen, the Healing Maiden cultivator, she understood the behaviour of Bu Dong as well as her Venus Four comrades. But with her stuck in the middle of the fence, Yue Wen still decided to join her Venus Four members.
"Is this what Yue Han mean by having fun?!" Bu Dong was furious that things didn\'t go as planned. He didn\'t mind going at Santa \'blind\' without knowing all the answers, but his competitive spirit still made him want to give it their best shot.
When he realised that no one was listening to him at all, Bu Dong felt powerless for once. They might be friends, but that did not mean that they were partners fighting hand in hand.
However, Bu Dong gritted his teeth and followed the majority for now while he continued to analyse the behaviour of Evil Santa. He knew that getting angry would do no good and he already half expected that this current Boss Raid would not end well at all.
"Fine, I\'ll just take it as a lesson learnt." Bu Dong mumbled to himself as he observed the fight and shoot arrows with a bow he had bought as a backup. "Since they don\'t want to listen and work as a team, I may as well just do my own thing too." While he did not speak the last part out, it was plain to see on his face and by the way he acted.
Over time he felt he should have just played Supa Robot Warz or pester Jin about developing something like AI teammates.

"Awww, that won\'t do! Bu Dong! If you give up, the whole team will only fall further into shambles!" A female spectator lamented as she looked at the screen. People were expecting the group of Pandawans to have an exceedingly good show to watch, but instead, they were witnessing a subpar show.
Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing instead of showcasing the supreme teamwork or innovative ideas they were known for, which caused most spectators to walk away and observe other cultivators instead.
"So that\'s the boy you talked about?" A friend of the female spectator asked when the group of teenage foreigners remained as the only ones who watched the Pandawans.
"Mhmm, that\'s him. I like his tactics. They\'re bold and make sense. Those other Pandawans don\'t seem to realise that they are missing out on a good leader. If they listened, they might stand a good chance of at least making it up to the third form." Katerine, the Fire Shaman replied.
Previously an exchange student in Tiangong High School, she returned to China just for this dungeon supplier\'s experience. And lucky for her, she was just in time for this special Christmas ongoing event.
Alongside Katerine were her buddies from her own school and they were raring to go for an instance run. However, Katerine knew that all they had was firepower and they lacked a good leader to have a chance in completing this new event.
But by the looks of it, she did not have to worry too much. Judging by the disgruntled expression of a certain Ape Cultivator, she believed he would be more than happy to change teams!
