"There's a way to deal with them?"
Shui Se Qiang Wei looked at Shi Feng's confident smile. Although she didn't say anything out loud, she still had her doubts.
If it were an ordinary Leader monster, combined with Shi Feng's terrifying damage output and support, dealing with it would indeed be a breeze. Shui Se Qiang Wei had witnessed that firsthand.
However, a Level 28 Leader like the Flame Guard was somewhat special. Moreover, due to the unique environment of White Mist Canyon, they were always in a berserk state, with attack power and attack speed far exceeding those of Leader monsters in the outside world. Their combat strength was completely comparable to high-level Leaders of the same level outside.
If it were just dealing with one, it might indeed be possible. But outside the cave entrance, there were a full sixteen Flame Guards. That was equivalent to tackling sixteen high-level Leaders at once. The team had only five hundred people in total, which averaged out to thirty-one people per Level 28 high-level Leader.
In the Divine Realm, normally dealing with a single wild high-level Leader required over a hundred people, and formidable high-level Leaders could even require five hundred people to take down. Moreover, each Flame Guard before them possessed a Flame Domain with a fifty-yard radius. Any player within the Domain would lose four hundred hit points every three seconds. Even if healers desperately poured in heals, it would be impossible to keep up with the life everyone was losing.
Without a team with high fire resistance, being caught within the Flame Domain was essentially unsolvable.
Shui Se Qiang Wei truly couldn't think of any way to deal with these Flame Guards.
She watched as Shi Feng walked without a word to a spot more than thirty yards from the cave entrance, adjusting his position back and forth. However, at this distance, the Flame Guards outside had long since spotted him. They all crowded in front of the entrance, wanting to rush in and tear Shi Feng apart. Unfortunately, the opening was too narrow—not even a single Flame Guard could fit through, let alone two or three jostling against each other.
Although these Flame Guards couldn't get in, they weren't stupid either. They directly condensed Flame Spears and hurled them at Shi Feng.
The scorching Flame Spears blazed with searing white light, making the very air tremble.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Six Flame Spears flew into the cave in rapid succession. They were so fast that the air itself roared, and the ground they passed over spawned trails of fire serpents, all rushing straight toward Shi Feng.
The Flame Spears were indeed fast, but Shi Feng was no slower.
As the Flame Spears flew into the cave, Shi Feng had already shifted his body. By the time the spears reached his position, he had long since moved two yards away from where he'd been standing. All six Flame Spears missed completely.
"This position is pretty good."
Shi Feng completely ignored the Flame Guards' attacks, focused entirely on calculating attack range and positional angles, as if the Flame Guards had never attacked him at all…
"The Guild Leader's dodging speed is incredible—he can even dodge attacks that fast. If it were me, I'd have to tank it head-on." Ke Le sighed with admiration at Shi Feng's nonchalant dodging. "If only I had even half the Guild Leader's dodging speed."
If he had that dodging speed, never mind being the number one tank in the Star Moon Kingdom—at the very least he'd be in the top ten.
"Ke Le, you still have a lot to learn." Huo Wu smiled faintly. "The Guild Leader's technique for dodging the Flame Guards' attacks involves quite a few tricks. It's not just about speed—more importantly, it's about perception and judgment. Even if the Guild Leader's speed were the same as yours, he could dodge with ease."
"Linear attacks are inherently monotonous. With sufficient perception, they're easy to figure out. The Flame Guards' attacks are fast—our speed can never match theirs. That's where precise judgment comes in. Right after the Flame Guard attacks, you immediately make the most appropriate choice, moving your body with the smallest possible range to achieve the best result."
