At the same time.

The Ten Thousand Bones Commander finally spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly. It was deep and calm, carrying an undeniable authority.

"Don't waste time. Let's deal with that little girl, the White Bone Spirit, first. I think that's her name?"

It raised its bone claws and pointed them at the White Bone Spirit, who stood at the highest point between Flower-Fruit Mountain and Lion Camel Ridge.

"AoE attack, high damage. Iron Crown and Golden Bone, you two go and kite. Poison Bone, support Golden Bone and maintain defense. Shadow Bone, you flank and ambush."

It paused for a moment, then added, "As for that Snow Queen, ignore her. She's not very useful; just let her withstand her pitiful damage and control."

Ye Qingxue's face flushed instantly.

She bit her lower lip hard, her fingertips turning white from clenching.

She hasn't exploded yet.

The Poison Bone Priest suddenly interjected, "However... that Ice and Snow still has some use."

Its voice was high-pitched and cold, as if it were carefully choosing its words.

"This is really affecting our morale. Since she's so weak, should we just kill her?"

The Shadow Bone Hunter let out a chilling laugh, "Agreed. Kill the weak first, then the strong."

Ye Qingxue was so angry that she trembled all over.

She stared intently at the five bosses, her chest heaving violently.

She had never suffered such humiliation. The SSS-rank Snow Queen was the absolute core of her own dungeon world, the fulcrum of all tactics. But here, in the mouths of these hellish bosses, she became "pathetic damage and control," an object of "too weak, kill her first."

Su Mu glanced at her.

"Don't listen to what they're saying over there." His tone was calm. "They're just trying to influence your mindset. Hell-level monsters are intelligent; they know how to play psychological warfare."

Ye Qingxue gritted her teeth and nodded.

But her face was still flushed.

Before she could think any further, the battle had already begun.

The five bosses moved simultaneously.

Iron Crown Bone General made the first move, sending two bone spears flying from his hands, carrying dark red Soul Flames, slicing through the sky and heading straight for the White Bone Spirit.

The Golden Bone Guardian charged forward, each step sending bone dust flying everywhere. His arms were crossed with bone blades as he pressed down on the White Bone Spirit Demon.

The Poison Bone Priest stood at the back, and with a wave of his hands, dark green poisonous mist spread out like a tide, enveloping the White Bone Spirit within a radius of dozens of meters.

The Shadow Bone Hunter vanished completely into the dark red mist, leaving no trace.

The Ten Thousand Bones Commander always stood at the very back, with a halo of dark red Soul Flames forming around him, enveloping the other four BOSSes.

Under the halo, the skeletons of the four bosses gleamed with a dark red sheen, and their attack, defense, and speed were all enhanced.

Su Mu instantly understood their coordinated attack.

Iron Crown Bone General is a ranged attacker, and his Bone Spear Throws are incredibly powerful.

Golden Bone Guardians are front-line tanks, absorbing damage and drawing enemy fire.

The Poison Bone Priest is a support class; poison mist weakens defenses, Undead Blessing strengthens teammates.

The Shadow Bone Hunter is an assassin who flanks and ambushes from behind, specializing in finishing off low-health targets. The Ten Thousand Bones Commander is a commander who stands at the rear, overseeing the overall situation. He has the highest attributes and can also share damage through Soul Links.

There are ranged attackers, support attackers, tanks, ambushes, and commanders.

The five bosses each performed their duties perfectly, working together seamlessly.

They did not attack the Snow Queen as previously stated.

Instead, their main targets are the White Bone Spirit and Little Drill Wind.

At this moment, the White Bone Spirit was the first to be attacked.

The Iron Crown Bone General launched the first wave of bone spears, with three spears flying in a triangular formation, blocking her escape routes to the left, right, and top.

However, the White Bone Spirit pushed off with her feet, retreating rapidly. She lashed out with her bone whip, and a grayish-white curtain of fire exploded in front of her, burning the fourth bone spear that was chasing her off course.

But the Golden Bone Guardian had already rushed in front of her, his arms crossed with bone blades as he slashed down. The White Bone Spirit Demon dodged to the side, the bone blades grazing her shoulders and leaving two scorch marks half a meter deep in the ground.

The poisonous fog followed closely behind, surging in from all directions and enveloping her footing. A layer of dark green corrosion appeared on the surface of the White Bone Spirit's bones, causing her defenses to plummet.

The Shadow Bone Hunter has not yet appeared.

Su Mu's heart leaped into his throat.

The White Bone Spirit's attributes are SS-level, level 11, with a base combat index of 240,000.

However, the five bosses on the other side have a combat index of at least 350,000, and the highest, the Ten Thousand Bones Commander, has a combat index of 600,000.

In addition, there's the level difference: a level 25 Hell-level BOSS versus a level 11 White Bone Spirit, a difference of 14 levels, means a 28% difference in damage output in both directions.

In terms of attributes, the White Bone Spirit is at a disadvantage.

But the White Bone Spirit did not retreat.

With a flick of her wrist, the bone whip drew an arc in the air, and the gray-white fire curtain narrowed into a thin line of fire, precisely sweeping across the Golden Bone Guardian's ribs.

The fire pierced through the bone gaps, causing the Golden Bone Guardian to pause for a moment. Taking advantage of this, the White Bone Spirit Demon retreated, creating distance. At the same time, she flicked her bone whip, unleashing a curtain of fire behind her, perfectly covering the position where the Shadow Bone Hunter had emerged from stealth.

The Shadow Bone Hunter was forced to reveal itself, its six bony limbs crossing to block, but the flames had already scorched its bone surface. It let out a sharp screech and disappeared back into the shadows.

Su Mu's eyelids twitched.

The White Bone Spirit anticipated the Shadow Bone Hunter's opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

She didn't see through the invisibility, but she calculated that the Shadow Bone Hunter would strike when her defenses were weakest. That precise timing was the ultimate manifestation of combat instinct.

On the other side, Little Drill Wind was also caught in a tough battle.

Iron Crown Bone General's second wave of bone spears turned towards him, and three bone spears flew in with a whooshing sound.

Little Drill Wind dodged to the side, the bone spear grazing past its scales and exploding into a deep crater in the ground. The Golden Bone Guardian abandoned its pursuit of the White Bone Spirit and instead Little Drill Wind, its Bone Blade Sweep its arms, forcing Little Drill Wind to retreat repeatedly.

The Little Drill Wind cleaved the Golden Bone Guardian's ribs with its blade, sparks flying. The blade cut into the bone, but only penetrated two inches before getting stuck. The Golden Bone Guardian's Steel Skeleton mitigated most of the damage; this slash was merely a superficial wound for it.

But the Little Drill Wind didn't stop. Its cutting technique kept changing.

The first cut struck the ribs, the second cut went towards the knee joint.

The Golden Bone Guardian's knee joint is a node where bones connect, and the bone surface there is 30% thinner than the ribs. Little Drill Wind accurately found this weak point, slashed in, and the Golden Bone Guardian's massive body suddenly tilted to the side.

At the same time, the aura of the Ten Thousand Bones Commander always enveloped the four BOSSes, and their Soul Links shared the damage.

For every strike Little Drill Wind lands on the Golden Bone Guardian, 40% of the damage is distributed among the other four bosses. This means he must deal more than twice the damage to effectively reduce the Golden Bone Guardian's health.

Ye Qingxue looked at the battlefield, gritting her teeth.

The Snow Queen stood at a distance, continuously shooting icicles at the Iron Crown Bone General, attempting to slow down its Bone Spear Throws.

However, the Iron Crown Bone General's level was too high. The ice shards that hit it only slowed it down for a second or two, which was almost negligible. The ice wall tried to block the Golden Bone Guardian's charge, but the Golden Bone Guardian shattered upon impact.

Her control was indeed too weak for the bosses.

But Ye Qingxue did not give up.

She took a deep breath and pulled a scroll from the card box.
