109: Chapter 109 Reencounter with the Fire Phoenix

"Protect the Young Lady!"

A level 68 Great Warrior raised their sword to block the monster's attack.

At this moment, Fire Phoenix retreated several steps, and immediately, several Healing Spells landed on her head.

Her HP barely returned to half.

However, she did not retreat and immediately shouted to the group: "Form up."

Following that, the level 68 warrior from earlier took the lead, guiding a squad of warriors to line up.

The next second, dozens of knights rushed forward, raised their shields, and continuously endured the monster's attacks.

At this time, Jiang He, who was hiding behind a snowdrift, did a rough count.

There were at least 50 people.

Furthermore, besides the Great Warrior whose ID was North Wind.

The average level of the remaining players was also quite high.

It could be said that Fire Phoenix had the lowest level in the entire team.

But everyone was listening to her commands.

Jiang He had previously guessed that this woman's identity was not simple.

Before them, the group was fighting a level 88 Ice Dragon.

The Ice Dragon was about 15 meters long, its entire body covered in ice-crystal-like scales.

When it exhaled, bursts of white vapor spewed from its mouth.

This monster was not only fierce in melee combat, but its ranged attacks were also extremely troublesome.

The Ice Dragon raised its head and let out a dragon roar, then opened its bloody maw and sprayed a cloud of white mist at the group.

The next second, several ice cones shot out from the white mist, heading straight for the knights in the front row.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some knights who were already low on HP had their HP cleared to zero on the spot.

And those knights who were at full HP also saw their health bars almost bottom out.

The priests behind them quickly cast Healing Spell to treat them.

"Knights, retreat and recover; warriors, charge with me!" With North Wind's command, he led the warrior group charging toward the Ice Dragon.

At this moment, Fire Phoenix took a step forward, preparing to advance.

But she was suddenly pulled back by a female mage beside her.

"Young Lady, you cannot go up there."

"Why? I'm a warrior too?"

The female mage shook her head and whispered: "This is the Young Master's intention."

Hearing the words "Young Master," Fire Phoenix hesitated, but she still clenched her fists and stopped her steps.

"Brother North, this guy is too hard to deal with," a warrior in front shouted.

"Damn it!" North Wind cursed loudly.

Only three minutes had passed, and more than a dozen of his teammates had already died on his side.

He gritted his teeth, glared at the Ice Dragon, and immediately shouted: "Retreat!"

Following that, the warriors began to retreat step by step.

But at this moment, the Ice Dragon did not seem to want to let them go.

It stopped its ranged attacks and directly swooped down, attacking the group.

"Damn it, block it!" North Wind immediately used a skill, but he was still knocked back several meters by the Ice Dragon's immense impact force.

His HP was immediately cut in half.

"Brother North!" Fire Phoenix exclaimed and immediately rushed over.

"Young Lady, don't go over there!" the female mage behind her shouted simultaneously.

But it was already too late; Fire Phoenix had already rushed to North Wind's side.

"Young Lady, hurry and leave!" North Wind, frightened, hurriedly tried to push her away.

But Fire Phoenix held onto him tightly and wouldn't let go: "No, I won't leave you behind, wuwu... It's all my fault, I've implicated you all."

At this moment, the Ice Dragon had already rushed over.

Fire Phoenix couldn't care about anything else; she grabbed North Wind, closed her eyes, and waited for death.

But at this critical moment.

A string of red numbers floated above the Ice Dragon's head.

-12800

Before the group could react.

Another string of numbers floated up: -12000

Everyone was stunned; why did the Ice Dragon lose HP on its own?

But before they could figure it out, they saw the Ice Dragon whip its tail.

Immediately followed by a cry of "Ah!"

Xie Yunzhou was knocked out of his stealth state and sent flying into mid-air.

At this moment, his HP bottomed out.

"Big Brother, help!"

Whoosh—

A Healing Spell landed on his head.

Xie Yunzhou's HP recovered by more than half.

Immediately after, two whooshing sounds.

Two red magic orbs smashed into the Ice Dragon's body.

The next second, the Ice Dragon's HP began to drop rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Clang, clang, clang—

Jiang He rushed toward the Ice Dragon with his dagger at an extremely fast speed.

Just as he was one meter away from it, a red holy light descended from the sky and landed on the Ice Dragon.

In an instant, the Ice Dragon's whole body stiffened and it couldn't move, only able to continuously emit angry dragon roars.

Jiang He did not stop, circling around the Ice Dragon and outputting damage crazily.

Three seconds later, Jiang He shouted: "Old Xie, retreat!"

"Got it!" Xie Yunzhou hurriedly sheathed his blade and retreated, putting distance between himself and the Ice Dragon.

As Jiang He rolled to the side, he cast two Blood Speech Technique, then ran to Fire Phoenix, grabbed Fire Phoenix and North Wind with one hand each, and ran toward the rear.

The two of them were still dazed at this moment.

Where did these two heroes pop out from?

They're too fierce, right?

In less than a minute, the Ice Dragon's HP had actually bottomed out!

At this moment, after the Ice Dragon broke free from the control, it was instantly enraged, opened its bloody maw, and prepared to launch a ranged attack in Jiang He's direction.

But the next second, before the white mist could be sprayed from its mouth.

Only a howl of "Awoo" was heard, the Ice Dragon's HP cleared to zero, and it crashed to the ground.

A golden light flashed, and Xie Yunzhou ran over excitedly: "Big Brother, you rest, I'll pick up the items."

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief, ignored him, and released Fire Phoenix and North Wind.

"We killed this monster, so the equipment belongs to us. That's reasonable, right?"

"Ah? Oh... rea... reasonable." North Wind replied stutteringly.

Fire Phoenix also nodded quickly: "Reasonable, reasonable."

Jiang He smiled and was just about to turn around to see what good items had dropped.

That female mage suddenly stood out and shouted: "No, this monster is ours!"

"Qingying, what are you saying? They were the ones who killed the monster!" Fire Phoenix immediately turned around and said.

Qingying shook her head: "It won't do, Young Lady, we cannot give up this monster."

"Shut up! If they hadn't stepped in to save us just now, we would have been wiped out long ago. How can you have the nerve to fight people for equipment like this?"

Although Fire Phoenix scolded her loudly, Qingying was still not reconciled.

"Young Lady, this monster is very important to the Young Master."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fire Phoenix immediately looked troubled.

Seeing that she had stopped speaking, Qingying walked directly toward Jiang He.

"Kid, you guys should leave; this monster is ours."

Jiang He was so angry he laughed.

Where did this idiot come from?

If Fire Phoenix had asked him properly, maybe he would have given it to her.

But this person in front of him, who do you think you are?

Jiang He shook his head and looked Qingying up and down.

This action made Qingying very annoyed, and she shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a beautiful woman like me?"

Jiang He shook his head: "No, no, no, I just wanted to see how thick your skin actually is."

The next second, Qingying's expression changed, and she pointed at Jiang He, cursing.

"You... how dare you insult me?"

"No, I am stating a fact; your skin is indeed quite thick."

Qingying immediately raised her staff, ready to attack.

Seeing this, Fire Phoenix and North Wind on the side hurriedly spoke out to stop her: "Qingying, stop!"

But it was already too late.

Jiang He's movements were faster than hers.

A cold light flashed, and the dagger slashed across in an instant.

Qingying only felt a chill on her neck, then shouted in disbelief: "You... you dare to kill me... you..."

A white light flashed, and Qingying was sent back to the city for free.

At this moment, Fire Phoenix and the others were all staring at Jiang He in stunned silence.

The speed at which he attacked just now was shockingly fast.

But that wasn't the most critical part.

The level Jiang He displayed was level 45.

Yet Qingying was a level 61 Great Mage.

Even if mages have low HP, they shouldn't be killed in one hit by a low-level warrior, right?

Just as everyone was stunned, Xie Yunzhou behind them shouted excitedly with glowing eyes:

"Big Brother, look, it's a pet egg!"
