Chapter 380: Team Coordination

The dazzling blade light and others slowly arrived at the designated area. Along the path they were about to charge, only two or three Phantom Warriors stood in the way. With a single charge, they could directly rush to the Dark Mammoth.

ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth had also reached their designated positions.

CuiCanDaoGuang and others glanced in this direction, waiting for Nie Yan’s command.

Nie Yan, seeing that everything was ready, gave a hand signal to CuiCanDaoGuang and others. As soon as the gesture was completed, several figures suddenly burst forward, charging directly at the Dark Mammoth.

Charge!

Charge!

CuiCanDaoGuang, LengAoYing, and others shot forward like arrows, piercing straight into the center where the Dark Mammoth stood.

The Phantom Warriors patrolling nearby noticed CuiCanDaoGuang and others and immediately began to converge on them, preparing to surround and eliminate them.

“ShadowsNeverDie, Desire, now!” Nie Yan commanded sharply through the team channel.

At this moment, both ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth raised their staffs and began chanting obscure incantations. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

Their spellcasting required about ten seconds. From a distance, several Phantom Warriors sensed the unusual magical fluctuations and noticed ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth. They immediately charged in this direction.

“Warriors, block them!”

As Nie Yan issued the command, WuFeng and HeiBai rushed forward to intercept this group of Phantom Warriors. Each of them engaged one Phantom Warrior, preventing them from advancing further.

On CuiCanDaoGuang’s side, they dashed past several Phantom Warriors using charges and reached the side of the Dark Mammoth.

CuiCanDaoGuang roared loudly, “Shield Bash!”

With a dull thud, CuiCanDaoGuang’s heavy shield slammed into the Dark Mammoth, producing a deep, explosive sound.

The Dark Mammoth staggered backward a few steps, letting out a deep, furious growl before charging toward CuiCanDaoGuang.

“Defensive Stance!”

CuiCanDaoGuang immediately switched to defensive stance, slightly retreating his right foot and bending his knee, while bracing his shield with both hands.

With a thunderous impact, the Dark Mammoth slammed into CuiCanDaoGuang’s shield. CuiCanDaoGuang was pushed back a short distance but remained as solid as a rock.

The Dark Mammoth’s charge was halted, and its aggro was now fully focused on CuiCanDaoGuang.

Immediately afterward, DaTouGeXie applied a heal and a protective shield on CuiCanDaoGuang.

With CuiCanDaoGuang holding the Dark Mammoth’s attention, LengAoYing and YiYan stood on either side of him, shielding him from threats coming from other directions.

About thirty to forty Phantom Warriors simultaneously surrounded CuiCanDaoGuang, LengAoYing, and YiYan. The trio felt their hair stand on end. Facing so many level 50 elites attacking them at once, even with massive health pools, they wouldn’t last long. Especially considering the high combat intelligence of the Phantom Warriors, if they kept using stun skills, the trio wouldn’t get a chance to recover.

“Don’t attack, don’t draw aggro!” CuiCanDaoGuang warned, his voice slightly tense. He was also somewhat anxious about the feasibility of Nie Yan’s plan. They absolutely couldn’t draw aggro from these Phantom Warriors. If they didn’t attack, there was still a chance these warriors could be pulled away. However, if they attacked the Phantom Warriors, the aggro would definitely shift to them.

At that moment, ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth successively completed their incantations. The temperature in this area suddenly dropped. Mist filled the sky, followed by a torrential downpour of icy rain.

Scattering ice crystals filled the air, creating a cacophony of clattering sounds.

Even the area where CuiCanDaoGuang, LengAoYing, YiYan, and others stood was covered in a dense shower of ice crystals.

A vast expanse of white mist descended, caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

Within this range, everyone and every monster was struck by the icy rain.

-130, -130, -130…

Damage numbers floated above CuiCanDaoGuang and others’ heads. Their bodies were covered in a thick layer of frost, significantly reducing their movement speed.

Although the frosty rain did not deal strong damage, it had a powerful slowing effect.

Seeing that CuiCanDaoGuang, LengAoYing, and YiYan were taking damage, DaTouGeXie, LiLiHuaSha, and HeiSeTianTang immediately cast healing spells, ensuring their health remained above 80% at all times.

The group of Phantom Warriors was just about to close in and gang up on CuiCanDaoGuang, LengAoYing, and YiYan when the icy rain struck them as well. Their movements became extremely difficult, like slow-motion scenes in a movie. Initially, their aggro remained on CuiCanDaoGuang and others, but as wave after wave of icy rain fell, their aggro finally shifted. They turned around and rushed toward ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth.

CuiCanDaoGuang kept using shield bashes on the Dark Mammoth. He dared not use skills like Demoralizing Shout or Taunt, fearing that it would attract all the surrounding Phantom Warriors. Instead, he unleashed Holy Strikes one after another on the Dark Mammoth.

The Dark Mammoth’s aggro remained fixed on CuiCanDaoGuang, continuously attacking him. However, CuiCanDaoGuang was wearing the best tank gear in the entire Bull Tribe. As long as the healers kept up, he could tank not only a level 50 boss but even level 70-80 bosses.

At this point, a large group of Phantom Warriors surrounded ShadowsNeverDie and DesireYouth.

“Mages, AoE spells, twenty yards ahead! Now!” Nie Yan issued the command. The mages behind began chanting their spells as time ticked away.

As the Phantom Warriors charged into the open area ahead, Nie Yan estimated that the timing was right and activated a high-level Entangle scroll. Vines sprouted from the ground, ensnaring the group of Phantom Warriors.

The Phantom Warriors struggled continuously but could not break free from the entangling vines.

Immediately afterward, the mages behind completed their incantations and unleashed AoE spells.

Wave after wave of AoE spells rained down. Flames, lightning, and frost filled the battlefield. In an instant, chaos erupted. How many AoE spells were cast upon this open area, no one could tell. With such overwhelming AoE firepower, there would be no survivors!

Rows of Phantom Warriors fell to the ground.

Not a single one remained.

After more than ten seconds, the AoE spells subsided. Looking at the open area ahead, it was now a complete mess, littered with corpses and scattered equipment.

When the team members behind looked at Nie Yan, their eyes carried a hint of reverence. Nie Yan had achieved such great success for a reason. From CuiCanDaoGuang’s initial charge on the Dark Mammoth, to the Frost Rain, the high-level Entangle, and the AoE spells, everything had been completed within two minutes. Nie Yan precisely timed each command, ensuring every action was perfectly synchronized. His execution was nothing short of masterful.

“All team members, focus on the Dark Mammoth!” Nie Yan commanded. Hundreds of team members rushed toward the Dark Mammoth.

A group of warriors charged forward, surrounding the Dark Mammoth. Suddenly surrounded by so many warriors, the Dark Mammoth found it extremely difficult to move. It roared and howled continuously, trying to break free from the warriors’ grasp. But its struggle was in vain. With so many warriors around, it had no chance of breaking through.

CuiCanDaoGuang’s pressure was significantly reduced.

The spellcasters behind scattered out and began casting attack spells on the Dark Mammoth from all directions. Streams of magic shot toward the Dark Mammoth.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Magical explosions erupted on the Dark Mammoth’s body, sending sparks flying and electric arcs flashing.

Immediately, a series of damage numbers appeared on the Dark Mammoth’s body, its health rapidly depleting.

After a minute, the Dark Mammoth’s health dropped to around 20%, and it entered a berserk state, its body glowing with an unusual reddish-purple hue. It roared loudly and swept its long, ground-dragging tusks sideways. A powerful force slammed into CuiCanDaoGuang, sending him flying.

Its tusks also knocked away five or six people, instantly clearing the area.

The Dark Mammoth broke free, instantly killing six warriors.

No one other than a shield warrior could withstand a berserked Dark Mammoth!

As the Dark Mammoth was about to go out of control and charge toward the spellcasters, LengAoYing suddenly rushed out from the side. He used a shield bash on the Dark Mammoth and switched to defensive stance, blocking its path.

The Dark Mammoth tried to move forward, but LengAoYing firmly blocked its way like an obstacle.

Furiously roaring, it lashed out with its long trunk.

With a loud crash, the Dark Mammoth’s trunk struck LengAoYing, sending him flying.

DaTouGeXie, LiLiHuaSha, and HeiSeTianTang quickly got to work. Seeing CuiCanDaoGuang being knocked away, they immediately cast heals. When LengAoYing was sent flying, they also cast heals rapidly. Before either of them even hit the ground, their health was restored to full.

The healers had no pressure at all!

Among DaTouGeXie, LiLiHuaSha, and HeiSeTianTang, any one of them was a top-tier healer. Their reaction speed was first-rate. Priests relied on quick reflexes; as long as their speed was fast enough and their healing and dispelling were timely, there would be no issues.

Typically, a team would have only one main healer, with reserve healers being generally mediocre. Skilled healers were the rarest resource. However, in Nie Yan’s team, any of DaTouGeXie, LiLiHuaSha, or HeiSeTianTang could serve as the main healer. With these three together, as long as the Dark Mammoth didn’t instantly kill anyone, they could bring them back to life!

With these top-tier healers, there was generally no risk of a wipe due to mistakes. As long as healing was timely, the front-line warriors were like unstoppable tanks!

As soon as LengAoYing was knocked away, CuiCanDaoGuang, now back to full health, stood in front of the Dark Mammoth once again.
