The Black Tortoise Guild was in disarray, with a few survivors fleeing from Permafrost Island. Just when everyone thought the guild's hunt had ended in failure, someone suddenly noticed a three-person team charging against the flow of people, heading straight for Permafrost Island!

"Kai... is he the Jiang Kai you all mentioned?" Li Biao frowned, staring at the person leading the trio. "What are they trying to do?!"

The three-person team's trajectory was indeed towards Permafrost Island!

"Could they be trying to kill the Murloc Lord? I think they're crazy!" Chen Yueling furrowed her brows tightly. "When I first heard you mention Jiang Kai, I thought he was talented, but now it seems he's just reckless!"

"Going in now? That's a death wish!"

Yuan Zhu and Ruan Yu didn't know how to defend their friend because they shared the same thought.

Jiang Kai was strong, but could he be stronger than Jiang Fang?

Evaluating their speed through the watch... they were far behind!

On the other side, the Sky Sword - Hunter Squad of seven also spotted Jiang Kai's trio.

"Boss, it's that expert Jiang Kai!" Du Lei said excitedly.

Wu Gang and Shanshan simultaneously noticed Jiang Kai's figure.

"It's really him! Are they trying to... my god, are they insane?" Wu Gang exclaimed, eyes wide.

However, Shanshan's eyes held a different kind of brilliance. "You all think they're crazy, but why do I feel they're... so brave..."

Having witnessed Jiang Kai's actions several times, this enigmatic newcomer had unknowingly left a different impression on Xu Shanshan.

A woman's interest in a man often begins with curiosity...

Somewhere by the ice lake, several vigilant players stood behind two young men.

After the recent onslaught of the Murloc army, the members of this team appeared calm and relaxed, indicating they hadn't exerted themselves fully.

The two at the forefront were Lu Jun, the deputy regiment commander of the military district, and the black-clothed person who always followed General Wei.

This hunt for the king-level BOSS by the Black Tortoise Guild was crucial to the pioneering progress of the Eighteenth District, so they were present on site.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Their gazes also fell on the team moving upstream.

"Xiao Hei, what do you think?" Lu Jun turned his head to look at Xiao Hei.

"Not much to say, I'm not familiar with him," Xiao Hei replied calmly.

"You ate at his place last time, and you're not familiar?"

"Ahem..." Xiao Hei coughed lightly. "That was for work. When he can invite me personally, then maybe there's some connection."

Lu Jun chuckled and shook his head.

However, Xiao Hei's words weren't exaggerated. In all of River City, those who could invite him could be counted on one hand.

Unless they were acquaintances, Xiao Hei maintained this attitude.

Unfortunately, Xiao Hei was unwilling to comment, so Lu Jun had to observe for himself.

Watching as Jiang Kai's team drew closer to Permafrost Island, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his expression grew serious. "Kai, what exactly are you planning to do?"

...

While moving swiftly, Ruan Yu didn't forget to take a swig of alcohol, his eyes gradually reddening with bloodshot lines.

"Old Hu, are you ready to die in battle?" Ruan Yu's voice was much louder than before.

Hu Yan kept moving, his expression grave.

He had long considered the consequences of charging in under these circumstances; it was likely their entire team would be wiped out.

Yet, his gaze remained fixed on the figure ahead.

The Kai team didn't want him and Ruan Yu to follow, but they insisted on coming along.

He had once vowed that no matter the danger, as long as the captain didn't kick him out, he would follow!

"I, Hu Yan, keep my word. What's death to me! It's just Permafrost Island; the Fire God Squad is here!"

"I feel the same way!" Ruan Yu echoed.

In moments, the Fire God Squad had reached the front of Permafrost Island, with Jiang Kai leading the charge. He knew Hu Yan and Ruan Yu were right behind him, but there was no time to dissuade them now.

The murlocs ahead had already spotted the three humans charging at them, and immediately, thirty to forty murlocs wielding ice forks rushed towards them!

Warm and tense, unable to speak, her hands clasped at her chest, her fingers subconsciously rubbed the Life Jade.

"The farce is about to end," Chen Yueling scoffed.

At that moment, a red glow suddenly appeared in Jiang Kai's hand!

Several red beams shot out from his hand, targeting the murloc ranks ahead.

The dense murlocs were just right for the spread of the ignition effect, but the flames were weak, and with the murlocs covered in ice scales, even breaking through their armor was difficult.

Xu Shanshan inexplicably grew anxious, "They can't even kill a single murloc. At this rate, it's definitely over..."

Before she could finish, Xu Shanshan was startled by a series of explosive red sounds!

In the murloc crowd, bizarre "explosions" occurred one after another!

For some unknown reason, the flames on those murlocs suddenly intensified, turning them into fireballs, emitting wails.

Five or six burned at once!

The once sturdy ice scales were utterly defenseless against the explosive fire!

In an instant, the murloc ranks blocking the Fire God Squad had fallen in a sea of flames.

A figure calmly crossed over the corpses, raising a hand as several red shadows shot back to him from all directions, and he was already ten meters away, charging towards the Murloc Lord!

Seeing this, Chen Yueling's eyes widened.

"What the... what's going on... that guy... did he just instant kill forty murlocs?!"

Yuan Zhu's eyes gradually lit up.

That guy, he's become this strong now?

Xu Shanshan's heart inexplicably raced, a blush appearing on her delicate face. "Amazing!"

However, the slaughter had just begun!

Nine red shadows continuously shot out and returned from all directions, spreading a sea of fire wherever they went, leaving murloc corpses in the flames.

Ordinary murlocs, elite murlocs, even a warrior murloc couldn't escape, not having the chance to strike before being taken down by Jiang Kai's Quenching Pursuit.

The reinforced murloc army couldn't withstand the Fire God Squad's three members!

The attacks and skills of the elite and warrior murlocs were fierce, but in terms of attack, Jiang Kai wasn't afraid of them.

The dense murloc attacks instead provided Jiang Kai with better ignition conditions, so much so that the warrior-level murloc couldn't even showcase its strength before being ignited by its companions and dying instantly!

In the blink of an eye, a fiery path had formed wherever Jiang Kai went!

"Three minutes, 174 murlocs, 31 elites, 1 warrior!" Lu Jun squinted, taking a deep breath. "What kind of monster is that guy? The Extreme Cold Storm effect hasn't even ended yet!"

At this moment, the usually reticent Xiao Hei actually spoke up.

"He's a ranged attacker, so even if his physical agility is limited, as long as he strikes in time and ensures accuracy, he can minimize the impact of the Extreme Cold Storm."

"However, his damage is a bit too exaggerated... I can't quite understand it..."

Lu Jun's expression was grave, his voice deep. "They've actually reached the Murloc Lord! There are still many leader-level murlocs here; I want to see what other tricks he has!"
