In an area not far from Star Iron City, there was a large, ice-blue lake.
The lake water was clear and icy blue, but when one approached it, they would feel a bone-piercing chill.
On the surface of the lake, there was a blue flame floating around.
These flames could reach up to dozens of meters. If one tried to fly across, they would be turned into a huge block of ice and fall from the sky.
This large, ice-blue lake was naturally the Ice Flame Lake. If one looked into the lake, they could see a small island in the middle of the lake.
On the island, there was clearly a large, blue tree.
Monsters did not spawn near the Ice Flame Lake. Although it was close to Star Iron City, there were generally no signs of players here.
After Chen Mo agreed to the invitation, Alfate and Chen Mo made some preparations and formed a six-man team to approach the Ice Flame Lake.
On the way here, Chen Mo had already learned a lot of things from Alfate.
Alfate and the players in the League of Mercenaries had entered the Ice and Fire Lake Island several times, but because of the blue tree on the island, its attacks were very strange and fast. Every time, someone would be hit and the whole team would be wiped out.
Alfate had no choice but to find Chen Mo, a newcomer with shocking strength.
Braving the biting cold, the six of them arrived at the lakeside. Alfate took out a small black boat from his bag.
"This is the Frost Iron Ship. In order to obtain it, our Great Alliance spent a lot of effort."
Alfate introduced.
When the small boat entered the Ice Flame Lake, it immediately became much bigger. It was more than enough for the six of them to sit on.
The six of them entered the Frost Iron Ship. Under Alfate's control, a light blue magic barrier appeared on the Frost Iron Ship.
The light blue magic barrier and the surrounding ice flames seemed to have merged into one. As soon as the barrier appeared, Chen Mo felt that the temperature of the space had returned to normal.
This Frost Iron Ship required a lot of time and effort to obtain, but its effects were obvious. With it, they could easily pass through the Ice Flame Lake, which was like a death zone.
Naturally, Alfate and the others had come to the Iceflame Lake to kill the Iceflame Treants. Naturally, they were here to complete a quest. However, Alfate didn't reveal what the quest was, and Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to ask.
In any case, he would take the Ice Flame Heart to complete the quest, and the rest would belong to Alfate.
"Hehe, our luck is not bad. Today, the Freedom Players seem to have arrived first. They are fighting the Ice Flame Treants."
Halfway through the Frost Iron Ship, Alfate looked at the island and suddenly laughed mischievously.
"It really is!
Hahaha! Last time, when we were halfway through the battle, Xiluo led a group of free agents to ambush us and wipe us out. Today, it's their turn! "
The other members of the Great Alliance on the ship looked at the island in the middle of the lake excitedly and rubbed their palms together.
.....................................
In Star Iron City, apart from the large guild, the Great Alliance, which occupied one of the spawn points of the Blood Snakes, the other spawn point of the Blood Snakes was in the hands of the Freedom Guild.
Just like the Great Alliance, the members of the Freelancer's Guild were the first to arrive in Star Iron City. The founder was Xiluo, as Alfate and the others had mentioned.
As the two largest guilds in Star Iron City, there were always conflicts of interest between them. It was impossible for them to get along peacefully.
Since the establishment of the two large guilds, small conflicts had occurred from time to time.
However, both Alfate and Xiluo knew that the players in Star Iron City were all focused on leveling up.
After Level 65, they would suffer heavy losses every time they leveled up.
Most of the players who came here did not want to PK unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if they joined the two large guilds, it was the same.
If the two guilds fought every two to three days, it was only a matter of time before the two guilds were abandoned.
Thus, Alfate and Xiluo wisely did not start a large-scale guild war.
For example, Alfate and Xiluo's teams would often make things difficult for the other side. After the other side killed the boss, they would rush out to wipe out the other side and steal the boss.
If this happened outside, it would definitely lead to a guild war. But here, Alfate and Xiluo would not act rashly after being wiped out. Instead, they would take the opportunity to take revenge.
Previously, when Alfate and the others were fighting the Iceflame Treants, they were ambushed by Xiluo's team. Now that Xiluo and the Freedom Players were fighting the Iceflame Treants, it was time for them to take revenge.
Alfate and the others could discover Xiluo, but because of the light blue magic barrier around the Frost Iron Ship, it was difficult for Xiluo to discover Alfate.
"Who is it?!"
Alfate and Chen Mo quietly landed on the island. Xiluo and the others were fighting the Iceflame Treants on the island.
The Iceflame Treant was not the blue tree on the island. Instead, it was a small tree that was not very big.
It looked almost the same as the other Treants in the game. The Iceflame Treant also had half a tree body with a face, nose, and mouth.
Unlike the other Treants, the Iceflame Treant was completely blue and emitted faint blue flames.
Just like the Iceflame Lake, the blue flames of the Iceflame Treant were not real flames. Instead, they were of the intense ice attribute. Anyone who approached would be affected and attacked.
The most difficult part about the Iceflame Treant was its tentacles.
Blue rattan tentacles that looked like vines grew out of its trunk.
There were a total of six tentacles. Including the Iceflame Treant's attacks, only six people could deal with it. It was extremely difficult.
The rattan attacks were fast and unpredictable. Players who were near the Iceflame Treant would be affected by the ice attribute, and their speed would be much slower than usual. If they did not react in time, they would not be able to dodge and would be instantly killed.
Alfate and Xiluo's teams had been wiped out by the Iceflame Treants several times.
The Iceflame Treants were already difficult to deal with. If they were ambushed, the outcome would be obvious.
After landing, Alfate and his men sneaked up from behind and launched a brazen attack.
Only when Xiluo and the others were attacked did they shout in anger.
"Alfate, it really is you!"
Xiluo looked back and saw Alfate laughing at his misfortune. Xiluo, who looked like a melancholy youth, did not care about his image and cursed loudly.
"Frost Iron Ships are so hard to come by. You and I spent so much effort and only got one each. Who else could it be other than me?" Alfate sneered.
"Ah!"
While Alfate was replying, one of the Freelancers could not dodge in time and was hit by the Iceflame Treant's attack. He screamed and was instantly killed.
The Iceflame Treant had six tentacles. When there were six of them, they could still split the damage. Now that there was one less person, the situation became much more serious.
Alfate and the others did not need to do anything. The rest of the Freelancers were quickly killed by the Iceflame Treant's attacks one after another. Even Xiluo was no exception.
If not for Alfate and the others blocking the way, Xiluo would have been able to escape. But with Alfate here, Xiluo could only fight to the death.
Dying at the hands of the boss was better than dying at the hands of Alfate and the others. At the very least, Alfate and the others would have to get close to the boss if they wanted to pick up the loot.
And the closer they got to the boss, the more likely it was that they would be instantly killed.
"Let's do it. Don't worry about the loot. Kill the boss first. If we can't kill it, we won't be able to pick it up.
Anything we pick up on this island will have the property of being dropped upon death. "
Alfate waved his hand and said.
His last sentence was undoubtedly for Chen Mo to hear.
Chen Mo was a bit surprised. He did not expect this unusual island to have such a special feature.
Alfate and Xiluo did not have a dedicated Shield Knight in their party.
It was not that they could not find a Shield Knight, but rather that the Iceflame Treant was immune to Shield Knights' Taunt. Its six tentacles would attack everyone. Even a Shield Knight would not be of any use here.
"Drink the Blood Corrosion Potion. The first step is to destroy the boss' tentacles. The tentacles are too powerful. If we don't destroy them, we won't be able to get close to it."
Alfate commanded.
Chen Mo nodded and followed Alfate's instructions.
After drinking the Blood Corrosion Potion, the six players approached the Iceflame Treant. The Iceflame Treant let out a strange laugh and viciously attacked with its six tentacles.
Aside from Chen Mo, the other five all had experience fighting the Iceflame Treant. They carefully began to fight the tentacles.
This was Chen Mo's first encounter with the Iceflame Treant. But after a brief exchange, Chen Mo knew that he had the upper hand over Alfate and the others.
He had Ice Crystal Skin and Ice Crystal Armor. With these two skills in rotation, the Iceflame Treant's ice attribute would not be able to affect him. He could attack the Iceflame Treant at will.
