Chapter 38 The Dark Mammoth

Cui Can Daoguang and the others slowly arrived at the designated area. On their assault route, there were only two or three Phantom Warriors blocking the way. With a single charge, they could directly reach the Dark Mammoth.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan and Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun also arrived at the designated area.

Cui Can Daoguang and the others looked over here, awaiting Nie Yan's instructions.

Seeing that everything was ready, Nie Yan gave Cui Can Daoguang and the others a hand gesture. As soon as the gesture landed, several figures suddenly burst forth, charging towards the Dark Mammoth.

Charge!

Charge!

Cui Can Daoguang, Leng Ao Ying, and the others shot forward like arrows, aiming straight for the Dark Mammoth in the center.

The Phantom Warriors, who were pacing back and forth, spotted Cui Can Daoguang and his group and immediately swarmed towards them, preparing to encircle and kill them!

"Huai Dan, Yu Wang, move!" Nie Yan commanded in the voice chat.

At this moment, both Huai Dan and Yu Wang raised their staffs, chanting a series of obscure incantations. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped drastically.

They needed about 10 seconds to chant the spells. Several Phantom Warriors in the distance detected the unusual magical fluctuations and immediately noticed Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan and Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, rushing towards them.

"Warriors, block them!"

At Nie Yan's command, Wu Feng and Hei Bai and the others rushed forward, meeting the group of Phantom Warriors. Each of them held back one Phantom Warrior, preventing them from crossing the line.

Over on Cui Can Daoguang's side, they used Charge to slip past the Phantom Warriors, reaching the Dark Mammoth's side.

Cui Can Daoguang roared, Shield Bash!

With a muffled thud, Cui Can Daoguang's heavy shield slammed into the Dark Mammoth's body, producing a dull, explosive sound.

The Dark Mammoth staggered back a few steps, letting out a deep roar, and charged towards Cui Can Daoguang.

Defensive Stance!

Cui Can Daoguang immediately switched to Defensive Stance, his right foot slightly back, bent at the knee, his hands bracing against the shield face.

With a loud crash, like a roll of thunder, the Dark Mammoth slammed into Cui Can Daoguang's shield, but Cui Can Daoguang only moved back a short distance, as firm as a rock.

The Dark Mammoth's momentum halted, its aggro focused on Cui Can Daoguang.

The team leader, Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, quickly cast a heal and a shield on Cui Can Daoguang.

With Cui Can Daoguang drawing the Dark Mammoth's attention, Leng Ao Ying and Yi Yan guarded Cui Can Daoguang's left and right, shielding him from pressure from other directions.

Thirty or forty Phantom Warriors simultaneously surrounded Cui Can Daoguang, Leng Ao Ying, and Yi Yan. Their scalps tingled. So many Level 50 elites attacking them at once meant that no amount of health would be enough, especially with the Phantom Warriors' high combat intelligence. If they kept using stun skills, the three of them wouldn't be able to wake up.

"Don't attack, don't draw aggro!" Cui Can Daoguang said, a little nervous. Was Nie Yan's plan feasible? They absolutely couldn't draw the aggro of these Phantom Warriors. If they didn't attack, the Phantom Warriors might still be led away. If they attacked the Phantom Warriors, then the Phantom Warriors' aggro would definitely focus on them.

Just then, Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan and Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, one after the other, uttered the last syllables of their incantations. The temperature in this large area suddenly dropped, and a dense fog descended from the sky. Then, a barrage of ice rain began to fall from the sky.

Ice shards flew in all directions, clattering and crackling.

Even the area where Cui Can Daoguang, Leng Ao Ying, Yi Yan, and the others stood was enveloped in the dense ice shards.

A vast white mist descended, formed by the sudden drop in temperature.

Everyone and every monster in this range was hit by the ice rain.

-130, -130, -130...

Damage numbers floated up from above Cui Can Daoguang and the others' heads. Their bodies were covered in a thick layer of frost, and their movement speed was greatly reduced.

The Frost Ice Rain's attack power wasn't very strong, but it had a powerful slowing effect.

Seeing Cui Can Daoguang, Leng Ao Ying, and Yi Yan taking damage, the team leaders Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang immediately cast heal after heal, keeping their health above 80%.

The group of Phantom Warriors was just preparing to surround and gang up on Cui Can Daoguang, Leng Ao Ying, and Yi Yan when a large amount of ice rain hit them, making their movements extremely difficult, like a slow-motion scene in a movie. At first, their aggro was still focused on Cui Can Daoguang and the others, but as wave after wave of ice rain crashed down, their aggro finally shifted, and they turned to run towards the direction of Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan and Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun.

Cui Can Daoguang continuously Shield Bashed the Dark Mammoth. He didn't dare use skills like demoralizing shout or taunt, fearing that he would attract all the surrounding Phantom Warriors. He unleashed holy strikes one after another, attacking the Dark Mammoth's body.

The Dark Mammoth's aggro remained focused on Cui Can Daoguang, constantly charging at him. However, Cui Can Daoguang's equipment was the best defensive gear in the entire Niu Ren Tribe. As long as the healing kept up, not to mention a Level 50 Lord, even a Level 70 or 80 Lord could be tanked.

At this moment, a large group of Phantom Warriors surrounded Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, and the others.

"Mages, area-of-effect magic, twenty yards ahead! Attack!" Nie Yan commanded. The mages in the back began chanting magic spells. Time ticked by.

The group of Phantom Warriors rushed to the open space in front. Nie Yan saw that the time was about right, and he used a high-level Entangling Vines scroll. Vines grew from the ground, binding the group of Phantom Warriors.

The group of Phantom Warriors struggled non-stop, but they couldn't break free from the vines' entanglement.

Then, the mages in the back uttered the last syllables of their incantations, and area-of-effect magic spells were unleashed.

Area-of-effect magic poured down in swathes. Fire, lightning, frost. In an instant, the scene was chaotic. No one knew exactly how much area-of-effect magic had been cast on this open space. With such fierce area-of-effect magic, how could anyone survive?

Swathes of Phantom Warriors fell to the ground.

Not a single one was left!

After more than ten seconds, the area-of-effect magic subsided. Looking at the open space in front, it was a complete mess. Corpses littered the ground, and equipment was scattered everywhere.

When the team members behind him looked at Nie Yan, their eyes held a hint of awe. There was definitely a reason why Nie Yan had achieved such great success. From Cui Can Daoguang's charge against the Dark Mammoth to the Frost Ice Rain, the high-level Entangling Vines, and the unleashing of the area-of-effect magic, it was all completed within almost two minutes. Nie Yan had nailed the timing, issuing commands one after another, each link connected to the next, every time point perfectly calculated. It could be said to have reached the pinnacle of skill.

"All members, deal with the Dark Mammoth!" Nie Yan said, and the hundreds of team members behind him converged on the Dark Mammoth.

A group of warriors charged forward, surrounding the Dark Mammoth. Suddenly, with so many warriors around it, the Dark Mammoth found it very difficult to even move. It roared and howled, trying to break free from the warriors' bonds. But its struggles were in vain. With so many warriors around it, how could they let it escape?

Cui Can Daoguang's pressure was greatly reduced.

The magic-based classes in the back scattered, casting attack magic on the Dark Mammoth from all directions. Streams of magic shot out towards the Dark Mammoth.

Bang, bang, bang, streams of magic exploded on the Dark Mammoth's body, sparks flying everywhere, lightning flashing.

A series of damage numbers immediately appeared on the Dark Mammoth's body, and its health rapidly drained.

A minute later, the Dark Mammoth's health was only about 20% left. The Dark Mammoth also began to enter a state of frenzy, its entire body glowing with an unusual reddish-purple light. It roared, and the long teeth hanging down to the ground suddenly swept across, a huge force slamming into Cui Can Daoguang's body, sending Cui Can Daoguang flying.

Its teeth also sent five or six people flying. The area was immediately cleared.

The Dark Mammoth broke free, instantly killing six warriors.

Except for shield warriors, no one could withstand the frenzied Dark Mammoth!

Seeing that the Dark Mammoth was about to lose control and rush towards the magic-based classes, Leng Ao Ying suddenly rushed out from the side. He used Shield Bash, slamming into the Dark Mammoth's body, switched to defensive stance, and wedged himself in front of the Dark Mammoth's legs.

The Dark Mammoth wanted to move forward, but Leng Ao Ying held it firmly like a stumbling block.

It roared furiously, but it still couldn't move. Its long nose suddenly lashed out.

With a loud crash, the Dark Mammoth's nose whipped across Leng Ao Ying's body, sending Leng Ao Ying flying.

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang were nervously busy. Seeing Cui Can Daoguang being knocked away, they immediately cast heals. Seeing Leng Ao Ying flying out, they also cast heals, one after another. Before they even landed, their health had returned to full.

The healers felt no pressure!

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang, any one of them could be pulled out and be a top-tier healer. Their reaction speeds were top-notch. Priests relied on quick eyes and hands. As long as they were fast enough, and their healing, dispelling, and so on were timely enough, there would be no problem.

Most teams only had one main priest. The backup priests were usually not very good. Excellent priests were the most scarce resource. But in Nie Yan's team, any one of the three—Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang—could take on the role of main priest. With these three together, as long as the Dark Mammoth didn't one-shot someone, they could save them!

With this group of top-tier priests, a wipe due to mistakes would generally not occur. With timely healing, the warriors in front were unkillable cockroaches!

Just as Leng Ao Ying was knocked away, the fully healed Cui Can Daoguang stood in front of it again.
