Chapter 415: The Collective Plan to Send Them to the God of Death
The one who suddenly appeared and attacked Jiang Li was actually Transcendent Xiao Li.
She is Xiao Ning'er's older sister; under no circumstances could Jiang Li kill her.
Xiao Ning'er is devoted to him; he can see that clearly. If he killed her sister, they would become enemies.
But what to do under the gaze of everyone present?
If he does not kill the sudden attacker, a smart person might notice something amiss.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Jiang Li suddenly began to pant.
His violent panting made it seem as though he had just exhausted himself after casting a great spell.
"Human, you dare ambush me? Now I will kill you."
His steps slowed. Many nearby class-advanced players saw Jiang Li's condition was wrong, but being stretched thin, they could do nothing at all.
"That Necromancer just cast Freeze Magic and seems to have reached his limit. This is the best moment to strike him down."
Just as Jiang Li had barely raised the Ice Wheel in his hand, another person darted out from the shadows.
Jiang Li's face filled with terror—he shouted, "There's an airplane above your head!"
With just that one sentence, the suddenly appeared man paused for a moment in confusion.
"Shadow Step!"
Jiang Li directly vanished into the darkness.
"Boom!"
That Great Swordsman slashed his greatsword into the ground, creating a crack dozens of meters long.
"Damn it, how did he run off? I was actually tricked by a skeleton!" That Great Swordsman cursed.
Just then, Transcendent Xiao Li's full-body ice thawed, though her expression was rather grim. She quickly took out a bottle of blood potion and drank it down.
Jiang Li, observing secretly, discovered something that delighted him.
That was: after he unleashed a storm to strike the opponent and freeze them, even after thawing and drinking a blood potion to recover, their recovery speed was reduced by at least half compared to normal.
Clearly—Transcendent Xiao Li had noticed this too. Her face was pale, her heart still racing. She looked at the Great Swordsman, whose face was flushed and who was troubled for having failed to chop off Jiang Li's head, and said, "Thank you!"
The Great Swordsman looked at Transcendent Xiao Li; his anger in his heart was halved. He immediately bent down, helped Transcendent Xiao Li up, and said, "Beautiful lady, how are you?"
Transcendent Xiao Li gently pushed him away and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for stepping in bravely to save me just now."
Luo Bosi immediately struck a pose he considered very handsome and said, "Just now I saw you in danger, so I didn't think much and directly used Shadow Step to reach that monster's side. Pity that monster was truly treacherous; he had prepared to vanish into the darkness long ago!"
"It doesn't matter. That monster won't get away. Our numbers are growing; clearly we have already gained the advantage!"
After Transcendent Xiao Li finished speaking, she looked toward those in the chaotic battle, only to see Ice Diamond Skeletons exploding one by one, followed by scenes of resurrection. Immediately, the muscles at the corner of her mouth twitched. Crash, crash, crash—class-advanced players followed the ice blocks as they shattered onto the ground. They were not as lucky as Transcendent Xiao Li.
Claiming the upper hand was a joke!
"Hiss—"
"This won't work. We must find that Necromancer, otherwise we might be wiped out completely!"
At this moment, the human class-advanced players had fallen back into a disadvantage. The Ice Explosion skill of those Ice Diamond Skeletons was simply too terrifying—simple and brutal, freezing everything outright.
Moreover, it wasn't simple freezing. Even a Priest's thawing magic required three casts to unfreeze someone. Yet the result of wasting so much time was that the frozen humans had long since been smashed to pieces by the skeletons.
Luo Bosi said, "I have a crazy plan; I don't know if it will work!"
Although Luo Bosi spoke in a consultative tone, the very next moment he rushed to the front and shouted loudly, "Everyone, do not linger in battle! We have no means to find that hidden Necromancer. If we keep exhausting ourselves, we will surely die. The target of these skeletons—may well be the Bone Castle's BOSS. If we can just lure these skeletons to the Sixth Layer BOSS, then all difficulties will be resolved."
This plan was truly crazy.
Yet there was also some wisdom within it.
This idea was drawn from the strange behavior of the Golden Skeleton last time. Last time, the Golden Skeleton directly rushed to the final layer of the Bone Castle, fought the Cyclops King, emerged victorious, and only then caused the Bone Castle to upgrade.
If the Ice Diamond Skeletons are lured before this layer's BOSS now, then it is highly probable those Ice Skeletons will directly engage this layer's BOSS army in battle. In that case, the human class-advanced players will be able to escape!
Hidden in the darkness, Jiang Li nodded, thinking that this Luo Bosi was also someone of note, capable of drawing such a conclusion.
"But..."
"What are you still hesitating for? If things continue like this, we will surely die!" Luo Bosi roared.
Class-advanced players entered one by one from the Chuansong Sect. Some, as soon as they arrived, were immediately frozen, and the next moment shattered into dozens or even hundreds of pieces. The battle situation was truly too gruesome.
Later on, the battle escalated; even four or five Ice Diamond Skeletons were specially assigned to seal the entrance to the Sixth Layer.
In this way, nearly every second-tier class-advanced player who came died. The Ice Diamond Skeletons completely dominated them.
Luo Bosi said, "Do not forget how the Bone Castle upgraded, and how these Ice Diamond Skeletons upgraded!"
"The fact that they were able to reach the Sixth Layer—already explains everything!"
Luo Bosi's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back. Some, while fighting, began retreating toward the depths of the Bone Castle.
By now, everyone had no choice but to take the risk.
Although such a suggestion was tantamount to suicide, there was no other way. If they continued to stalemate against these Ice Diamond Skeletons, even more people would die.
Transcendent Xiao Li looked at Luo Bosi, who was issuing orders; there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
If you do not enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?
Although risky, it was not a bad plan.
Luo Bosi came before Transcendent Xiao Li, grabbed her tender hand, and said, "We will cover the rear. I have a feeling that the Necromancer will appear again in a moment!!"
Seemingly casual hand-holding was actually intentional. Transcendent Xiao Li frowned, directly withdrew her hand, and followed behind Luo Bosi.
Everyone fought while retreating, finally arriving at the deepest part of the Bone Castle, right before the corrupted Norlander people.
At the same time, Jiang Li, from within the darkness, transmitted a thought-impulse to his skeleton minions.
All the Ice Diamond Skeletons let out a sinister laugh.
Those corrupted Norlander people had a minimum health pool of twenty million.
Slightly higher ones had thirty to forty million in both attack and health, and their skill combinations closely resembled those of normal class-advanced players.
The crowd even saw the man in the innermost area wearing a crown on his head; Arondas possessed ninety million attack power and ninety million health points, along with many awesome skills. Seeing a BOSS with such health and attack, the class-transferred individuals one by one felt their scalps go numb; this was too ruthless.
His health and attack were about to break one hundred million.
The corrupted Norlanders didn't care about any of that; upon seeing the human class-transferred individuals, they charged straight over.
As for the Ice Skeletons, their emotion was the same as the Death Scythe Skeleton Soldiers on this layer: an exclamation mark appeared above their heads, then vanished.
And Jiang Li ordered that upon seeing the corrupted Norlanders on this layer, they should stop attacking.
A large number of second-tier class-transferred individuals finally breathed a sigh of relief; they truly dared not fight the Ice Skeletons before them anymore.
Seeing the Ice Skeletons' bizarre actions, they knew they might have bet correctly.
The true target of the Ice Diamond Skeletons was the BOSS legion of the Bone Castle Sixth Layer.
The corrupted Norlanders charged over; the crowd expected that it would surely be a chaotic battle, and perhaps they could gain some benefits from the fight between the Ice Skeletons and the corrupted Norlanders.
