As Ke Le, Ban Jiu, and Ye Wumian each charged toward one of the three groups of ice crystal monsters, Gu Jiuji and the others' expressions shifted.
"Have they lost their minds?" Mu Xiaoxiao blurted out.
Who pulled aggro like this?
A group of Level 90 monsters meant that any single pack was dangerous enough to wipe their entire party. Drawing three packs at once was practically suicide.
Ke Le and his companions' actions immediately put the entire Shura Adventurer Team on edge, every member tensing up and ready to pop their burst skills at a moment's notice to flee.
They had roamed neutral maps for a long time and knew full well that the higher a neutral map monster's level, the better it was at group combat and the higher its fighting prowess. When dealing with Level 80 Lord monsters, those Lords would coordinate their attacks together, and each one's combat ability far surpassed that of ordinary players.
If not for the fact that those monsters had simplistic skill sets and could only fight through brute force, an ordinary Level 80 six-man party wouldn't be able to take down a single Level 80 Lord.
Level 90 Lords were even worse — their stats blew those Level 80 Lords out of the water. Even a Level 80 Great Lord might not be their match, and combined with their impressive combat skills, they were an absolute nightmare.
Nearly a hundred monsters from three packs charging at them — even Jing Wuming felt his scalp tingle.
Among them was a Level 90 Great Lord, the Ice Crystal Wanderer, whose terrifying strength could send a main tank like Gu Jiuji flying with a single blow. With two of them attacking at once, even the healers wouldn't be able to keep up.
Ke Le and the other two arrived in front of the three monster packs. The ice crystal monsters immediately spotted them and let out earth-shaking roars. Over twenty Ice Crystal Giants surrounded the trio, while the Ice Crystal Wanderers, wielding their glacial spears, charged straight at them. Rather than blindly swarming like the other monsters, they attacked in a coordinated fashion — like a pack of wolves closing in on their prey, with clear division of tasks and every escape route sealed off.
The sight made the Shura Adventurer Team draw a sharp breath.
"Damn! Are these even monsters? How is their intelligence so high?" Gu Jiuji was stunned.
The Level 80 Lord monsters they had fought before merely had slightly better combat skills, but these Level 90 ice crystal monsters fought like a well-trained army, executing coordinated kills against their opponents.
Before the Shura Adventurer Team could even recover from the shock of the monsters' joint tactics, the Ice Crystal Wanderers had already reached the trio, their glacial spears crashing down.
The Ice Crystal Wanderers stood five or six meters tall, and the glacial spears in their hands were even taller than themselves. Swinging them was like swinging an entire tree — the wind pressure alone from a single swing kicked up a blizzard of ice and snow, and the sheer destructive force bore down on the trio with enough power to shatter the very space around them. Even Gu Jiuji, who had previously felt somewhat confident about withstanding the Ice Crystal Wanderer's attack, wore a grave expression.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three thunderous impacts echoed across the frozen plain. Ke Le and the other two stood rooted to the ground without budging an inch. Only the ice beneath their feet cracked apart in a spiderweb of fractures, and they had lost a mere five thousand-odd HP.
"They blocked it?!" Gu Jiuji stared at Ke Le and his companions, momentarily stunned.
That terrifying force and shockwave — even from a considerable distance away, they had felt it. A blow like that would have sent him flying for sure. Yet the three of them hadn't moved an inch and had lost only about five thousand HP. That was easier than his own fight against a Level 80 Great Lord.
Ke Le, in particular, had taken less than three thousand damage from the Ice Crystal Wanderer's impact. That kind of strength and defense was practically defying the heavens.
The Shura Adventurer Team was completely dumbfounded.
A Level 90 Great Lord had been blocked that easily? They had never seen a main tank with that kind of strength and defense, not even in the Fire Dragon Empire.
Before the team could even react, Ke Le and his companions were already on the move, charging straight into the Ice Crystal Giants that had closed in behind them.
The interception formation formed by several Ice Crystal Giants collapsed instantly under their charge. The trio shattered the monsters' coordinated encirclement with ease and drew all three packs of ice crystal monsters toward Shi Feng's position.
"You can even do that?!" Mu Xiaoxiao stared with her mouth agape.
