Anub'arak and his Nerubians Legion have carved out most of Northrend, and deep beneath this arena lies an ancient, dilapidated Titans ruin, which has long since been cleared out and turned into a vast, empty area.
Now, the Nerubians Legion has taken action, destroying the last load-bearing structure, and the arena has begun to collapse.
It wasn't just the central area of the arena that collapsed.
In fact, the entire arena began to collapse, and no one was spared; everyone began to fall!
The cave that Anub'arak dug was very deep, nearly two hundred meters deep; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to avoid all senses, including Jiang Jie's.
This is not a game.
Falling from a height of 200 meters, apart from a very few professionals with life-saving skills, no one else can survive. Jiang Jie's disciples are no exception, nor are those Legendary powerhouses.
This is Anub'arak's plan:
A single attack could wipe out at least half of the high command of the Northrend Expedition!
After all, even if these people were lucky enough to survive, once they reached the underground, it would become the main battlefield between it and the Nerubians Legion. With hundreds of thousands of Nerubians, it could still annihilate even a group of Legendary.
Without these commanders, the Northrend Expedition outside will be in chaos. Without anyone to command them, they will be vulnerable to Cheap Shot by the Scourge, suffering heavy losses or even being annihilated.
This was Arthas and Anub'arak's real plan.
Anub'arak abandoned his Herald Volazj and fled back then, probably for this very day?
However, to its utter surprise, things did not go as it had hoped.
Everyone in the arena began to fall, but at that moment, Jiang Jie reached out his hand.
He spread his arms, and streams of Chi formed giant hands that grabbed one person after another. In a very short time, he sent them all out of the arena. Only three teams of five people remained, along with the White Gorilla.
Hundreds of Chi hands wielding true qi!
Thousand Buddha Hands is one of the Shaolin's unique skills, and it was also learned by Jiang Jie. It is one of the few Shaolin unique skills.
Although the research was not in-depth, supported by powerful Chi, its power was considerable, instantly thwarting Arthas and Anub'arak's scheme:
The commanders of the Northrend Expedition all remained on the ground. Arthas and his Scourge were about to face a fierce counterattack from the Northrend Expedition!
As for underground...
A dozen or so hands carried all three teams, and they landed gracefully.
This is a world frozen in ice, with many ancient Titans structures visible around, but they are completely encased in ice.
What you see is a dense swarm of spider Nerubians!
There were thousands of these Nerubians, and even more tens of thousands further away!
This is a sea of Nerubians, created specifically to kill the high-ranking Northrend Expedition. Jiang Jie can sense the presence of even more Nerubians, but the space is limited, preventing him from crossing over.
As long as the Nerubians here are killed, more will surely Nerubians in. This is a human wave tactic to wear down the high command of the Northrend Expedition. After all, the Nerubians are Undead, and they can be resurrected after they die.
Seeing so many Nerubians, everyone turned pale, even the White Gorilla. It turned to look at Jiang Jie, blinked its large eyes, and its meaning was clear:
"Master, can you send me up there?"
Jiang Jie ignored it.
Knowing that so many Nerubians were waiting there, he still sent these three teams and the White Gorilla down, which naturally indicated that he had his own plans.
"The purpose of forming a five-person squad is to assassinate high-ranking generals of the Scourge, especially the Legendary ones. These people cannot act alone; they are protected by many Undead. If you want to infiltrate and kill them, and then leave alive, you will inevitably be besieged by a large number of Undead."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "This is your final trial before the official operation! There are thousands of Nerubians here, but that's nothing. As long as you cooperate, you won't die! The team that kills the most Nerubians in the end..."
"Whichever team wins! Legendary Nerubians, one counts as a hundred!" The surrounding Nerubians had already pounced, and the three teams immediately began their attack...
Thassarian and Koltira joined forces to establish a defensive line, with Lich and Undead casting spells from the rear, and Master Onias responsible for protecting the spellcasters.
On the other side, four Kor'kron warriors stood back to back in a circle around the city, while the only Kor'kron shaman stood in the very center, summoning thunder and lightning.
As for Jiang Jie's disciples...
"Follow me, charge!" Darion shouted, swinging his fists as he charged toward the nearest Nerubians.
Martial artists are quite special; each one possesses well-rounded abilities, capable of both offense and defense, and can also heal themselves, making them highly survivable.
This doesn't mean it's difficult to cooperate...
They are actually better at teamwork!
Darion is the strongest tank, Sven is the strongest DPS, Lilian and Ivan protect the flanks from the left and right, and another warrior follows closely behind them, specifically responsible for Cheap Shot the Nerubians from behind and above.
The five of them, like a sharp arrow, pierced through the dense Nerubians Legion, invincible and unstoppable.
The Nerubians wasn't stupid; on the contrary, it was very clever.
How could someone capable of creating flying fortress technology not be intelligent?
These creatures knew how to cooperate and Cheap Shot. Soon, several powerful Nerubians, accompanied by a pair of elite Nerubians, charged forward. The Nerubians behind them began to use mental magic to disrupt them, putting all five of them to a great test.
Even with their unwavering resolve, they struggled to withstand the barrage of mental spells, and injuries were swift, starting with the weaker Kor'kron.
"If I were you, I would definitely cooperate with each other in this situation! Put aside your pride and hostility; when facing endless Nerubians, you are a team!"
Jiang Jie's voice carried the chill of Northrend: "Don't expect me to help you. My opponents are tens of thousands of Nerubians in the distance, the most powerful Crypt Lord Anub'arak, and a whole bunch of Nerubians elders! With your strength, you shouldn't be unable to handle these thousand Nerubians, the few Nerubians elders among them, and that one Legendary Nerubians! Don't forget, the purpose of forming you was to assassinate Legendary!"
Jiang Jie strode forward, easily dispatching the charging Nerubians and carving a bloody path through them. " Tsul'Kalu, charge forward! Your enemy is Anub'arak! You're not much smaller than it, and you're my apprentice, surely you can stop it?"
"Roar! Tsul'Kalu, kill!"
The White Gorilla overcame its fear and charged towards the endless Nerubians with unparalleled ferocity. In reality, it was thinking, "Heh heh, Master still loves me after all! With him here, what is there to fear? Darion, Darion, good luck to you all! Thousands of Nerubians! Even this gorilla is a little scared!"
