Chapter 600: Following
Of course, Zhao Hai knew that this couldn't be calculated like this. He discovered that there was no soul activity in these ice beasts; they might just be puppets. Puppets, of course, do not know fear, so they do not know how to retreat.
Zhao Hai had been using dark magic the most until now, and among dark mages, summoners have an inseparable relationship with human souls.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was very sensitive to the fluctuations of souls. At this moment, many ice beasts had died, but Zhao Hai felt not a single fluctuation of souls, which confirmed to him that these ice beasts were indeed puppets.
However, what puzzled Zhao Hai was that these puppets didn't seem to be commanded by anyone. Instead, after being created by someone, they acted autonomously. Hence, these ice beasts appeared not to have formed any attack system and were acting chaotically based purely on instinct, which made Zhao Hai very curious.
These ice beasts were not weak in combat. If someone commanded them, their attacking power could at least increase by three levels. In that case, even the king kong ape clan might not be able to withstand it.
A hundred thousand ice beasts slowly surged up the mountain, but it seemed they were focused on the king kong ape clan and caused little damage to the trees on the mountain. Their goal appeared to be singular: the king kong ape clan.
Although a dozen stone giants posed no problem, some ice beasts were attacking from other areas towards the Mountain City, and the battle between the king kong ape clan and the ice beasts began.
Zhao Hai actually had the energy to eliminate all these ice beasts in one go, but he still wanted to see how the fighting power of the king kong ape clan was.
Quickly, the king kong ape clan demonstrated their combat power to Zhao Hai. Suddenly, a burst of yellow light erupted from their bodies, as if golden armor had enveloped them. This transformed the king kong ape clan and their beast kin into golden-armored warriors, and even the wooden staffs in their hands seemed to have a layer of golden sheen.
At this moment, those ice beasts had rushed to the foot of the city, and an unexpected scene unfolded: the ice beasts suddenly gathered together. Then, with a flash of white light, a gigantic ice beast appeared at the foot of the city. This ice beast was even taller than a stone giant, roaring as it charged toward the city wall.
A few meters away from the city wall, it leaped into the air. Its leaping ability, combined with its height, allowed it to pounce onto the city wall in one bound.
At that moment, two warriors from the king kong ape clan, along with their giant ape, struck simultaneously. Two wooden staffs and four iron fists struck the ice beast's head, shattering it immediately.
But that wasn't the end. The body of the ice beast suddenly split into many smaller beasts, all chaotically lunging toward the members of the king kong ape clan.
The members of the king kong ape clan had clearly anticipated this, so the split magical beasts did not escape; they were all blocked and eliminated by the king kong ape clan.
Zhao Hai noticed that the coordination among the king kong ape clan members was incredibly tacit. Even when the ice beasts attacked the city, it was of no use.
Moreover, Zhao Hai glanced over and saw that the members of the king kong ape clan seemed to be using a method he didn't recognize, allowing them and their beast kin to perfectly combine without any visible movements. Their coordination was seamless; this capability was truly terrifying.
After witnessing the combat of the king kong ape clan, Zhao Hai no longer thought about anything else. He immediately unleashed a powerful fire-based attack spell, creating a sea of fire at the foot of the city wall. Those ice beasts seemed to be very afraid of the fire, showing signs of retreat.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai nodded. It appeared that these ice beasts were indeed very fearful of fire-based magic. However, Zhao Hai couldn't use this fire magic extensively, or else the trees on the mountain would be destroyed.
