Chapter 1 The Snowy Valley

In a valley covered in ice and snow, a six-person team was currently dealing with a Level 48 High Lord, an Icefang Tiger.

Icefang Tiger, elemental creature, High Lord, Level 48, HP 31 million.

This Icefang Tiger, over five meters tall as if it were a small high-rise building, was helpless against the Level 45 Shield Warrior in front of it, who wielded a scarlet longsword and carried a small aqua-blue round shield.

No matter how frantically the Icefang Tiger attacked with its claws, they were all blocked by the small round shield. Moreover, the Shield Warrior could always use skills to hit the Icefang Tiger, dealing six to seven thousand points of effective damage, not losing at all.

The other players around were also extraordinary. Their levels were all above 44, and their skills could deal tens of thousands of points of damage to the Icefang Tiger. Even their normal attacks were above three to four thousand points.

"Everyone, increase your output, this Boss is almost dead, pay attention to dodging area-of-effect skills," the calm and composed Shield Warrior, Gu Jiuji, said plainly while defending.

"Don't worry, Guild Leader, this isn't the first time we've killed this Icefang Tiger," a Level 44 white-robed male Summoner not far away laughed.

Everyone nodded, not taking it to heart.

Seeing that the Icefang Tiger's HP was below 30%, the Icefang Tiger suddenly went berserk. Its snow-white skin immediately turned cyan-red, and its size also increased by several circles. The attack speed clearly increased by a notch, and ice cones fell from the air, covering a radius of 50 yards around the Icefang Tiger.

The leading Shield Warrior, Gu Jiuji, also let out a low roar, activated Shield Wall, dodged the falling ice cones, and focused on defense.

Even though the Icefang Tiger's strength and speed had been greatly increased, it still couldn't break through the focused defense of the Shield Warrior. It repeatedly bombarded the small round shield, causing the Shield Warrior's HP to drop bit by bit. The female Druid in the back row directly waved the dark green wooden staff in her hand, used Healing Wind, mainly healing the Shield Warrior, and everyone else would also receive more than 1,500 points of healing per second, keeping everyone in the team safe.

As everyone increased their output, the Icefang Tiger's HP began to rapidly decrease, quickly falling from 30% to 20%...15%...

When it fell to the last 10%, everyone couldn't help but go all out, preparing to kill the last crazy Icefang Tiger.

Seeing that the Icefang Tiger's HP was less than 2%, a series of extremely hot Spears of Flame suddenly shot out from a distance and bombarded the Icefang Tiger, instantly devouring all of the Icefang Tiger's remaining HP.

Then five items dropped.

This surprised the six-person team that was originally attacking the Icefang Tiger, and they all turned to the direction from which the flames came.

A twenty-person team suddenly appeared from the snowy ground. A male Elementalist holding a Tier 2 magic scroll looked at the six-person team with a smile.

"Di Yufeng, what do you mean by this?" Gu Jiuji asked with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"What do I mean?" The Elementalist named Di Yufeng said with a smirk, "Can't you tell? Of course, I'm stealing the monster! Our guild leader appreciates you very much and has already told you that if you don't bring your entire adventurer team to join our Gaeas Family, then your Aurora Sword adventurer team shouldn't even think about surviving in the entire Cold Wind City!"

"You're going too far. Brother Gu has already said that he won't participate in your two major guilds' fight, so he definitely won't join either side," Yan Ya, the female Druid standing behind Gu Jiuji, said indignantly.

Before, because of the harassment from the Gaeas Family, they had moved away from Cold Wind City and ran to this godforsaken place to level up. Now that they were so far away, they still came to steal the Boss. It was simply too much.

"Too far?" Di Yufeng sneered, "Winners are kings, losers are villains. Cold Wind City is now at a critical period, and our guild leader has said that no mistakes are allowed. Of course, he values a master like Brother Jiuji very much. As long as Brother Jiuji joins our Gaeas Family, not to mention anything else, at least becoming the main tank of our Gaeas Family's main force group is not a problem."

"But our guild leader has waited for so long, and Brother Jiuji is still so stubborn. Our guild leader has also said that since he can't get it himself, he can't let others get it either."

"Today is the last invitation from our Gaeas Family. I wonder if Brother Jiuji will join or not?"

"You...how can you do this?" Yan Ya said anxiously.

The Gaeas Family was one of the two major guilds in Cold Wind City, with countless experts under its command. If they really went all out to deal with their Aurora Sword adventurer team, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Jiuji, before you give me an answer, you'd better think clearly, otherwise, the people around you might encounter some unexpected accidents and accidentally drop back to Level 0," Di Yufeng reminded with a smile.

When Yan Ya and the others heard this, their faces were indescribably gloomy.

They considered their strength to be good, but there were many experts in the Gaeas Family. If they were ambushed and attacked in the wild, they would definitely be killed. And it was impossible to leave Cold Wind City, and they would eventually be exhausted to death by the people from the Gaeas Family.

"If you do this, aren't you afraid that I'll join Hundred Worlds Dynasty?" Gu Jiuji asked coldly.

Cold Wind City had two major guilds, one was the Gaeas Family, and the other was the Hundred Worlds Dynasty. Now the two major guilds were fighting for Cold Wind City, which was why things had become like this.

"Of course, you can join, but it depends on whether you can leave here alive today."

Di Yufeng couldn't help but wave his hand. At the same time, he also took out a jet-black, ancient scroll from his backpack, emitting a palpitating, eerie feeling.

And around Gu Jiuji's team, members of the Gaeas Family suddenly emerged, numbering over a hundred. These people had been hidden by a group stealth scroll before, but now they had all解除了隐藏效果(jiechule yin cang xiaoguo, dispelled their hidden effect), standing here, completely surrounding Gu Jiuji and the others.

However, compared to these suddenly appearing players, Gu Jiuji was even more wary of the magic scroll in Di Yufeng's hand.

"Your Gaeas Family really values me, Gu Jiuji, to the point of even preparing the extremely precious Soul Death Scroll," Gu Jiuji looked at the jet-black scroll in Di Yufeng's hand and couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Soul Death Scroll was a special magic scroll that could curse the players who were hit. As long as the player died within the specified time, the death penalty would be doubled, and the level drop would range from three to five levels. It was generally used to deal with important figures and was an ultra-rare scroll.

"Of course, I said, our guild leader values you very much. You see, the Soul Death Scroll was personally ordered by the guild leader." Di Yufeng said with a smile, "How about it, Brother Jiuji, give me an answer."

Gu Jiuji immediately fell silent. At this moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, and a black shadow shot out from it, directly landing in the center of the Aurora Sword adventurer team and the Gaeas Family.

This black shadow was Shi Feng, who had been sent over by the teleportation gate.

"Is this the Ice Crystal World?" Shi Feng couldn't help but scan his surroundings, discovering that they were all players, and they were all staring at him in astonishment.

Shi Feng himself had never been to the Ice Crystal World, but he wasn't surprised by the players around him. After all, wherever there was a world, it was not strange to have players, just like the Dark Cave, which was clearly a demon world, but there were also many players living there.

However, what surprised Shi Feng was that these players were very high level, all above Level 44, and many were even Level 45. If this was placed in the Black Dragon Empire, they would all be experts who could be ranked on the level榜(bang, list).

"Who are you? Don't you know that the Gaeas Family is handling matters here?" Di Yufeng looked at the suddenly appearing Shi Feng and couldn't help but question coldly.
