Chapter 1287
When they finally saw the Glory Capital players, Lu Li saw that they were actually fighting the snow monsters .

He suddenly remembered a very important thing . It was the answer to the question of whether the snow monsters should be fought . From his perspective, he had ruled out the option for the sake of the competition . In this life, they had practiced this map for the sole reason of becoming more familiar with it, so he never considered the option of fighting the snow monsters .
However, since they were now engaged, this had its advantages and disadvantages .
If you fought the snow monsters, they would drop some status buffs . Consuming these buffs would increase the strength of the players for a certain period of time . These monsters obviously didn’t drop any equipment, as this was a map specifically made for competitions .
However, the drawbacks of fighting the snow monsters were also very serious . The snow monsters had amazing combat power and were very difficult to kill .
But what was even more problematic was that the snow monsters could summon reinforcements . Attempting to kill and take the snow monster’s buff was equivalent to becoming their enemy .
If there were two players fighting each other on the snowfield map, and a snow monster suddenly jumped out, it would either attack the player that accidentally hit it first or the player who was closer . However, this assumed that neither player had consumed a snow monster’s status buff .
If one of them had consumed a snow monster’s status buff, then the snow monster would target that player first .
It seemed that Glory Capital had chosen to kill the snow monster and acquire the status buff .

“Should we take advantage of this and charge in?” Moonlight asked as he clenched his axe . Although it wouldn’t be a problem for him to fight, this wasn’t the best decision .
“Let’s pull back a little . There is only one snow monster and its almost dead,” Lu Li said as he shook his head .
If there were three to five snow monsters fighting Glory Capital, he wouldn’t have hesitated to lead the charge . He would have been more than happy to take a fight where they had five players and three snow monsters against Glory Capital, even if they did have the status buff .
However, his current tactical intention was clear, and that was to avoid taking an unfavourable fight .
Glory Capital obviously saw the Ruling Sword players as well . The Snowfield gave them a long view, but the snow monster they were fighting wasn’t dead yet and there was quite a distance between them, so they didn’t bother to pursue .
“It seems like we have become the prey,” Fat Monkey commented .
Fat Monkey’s style was always to attack . Even when he was fighting Sorrowless, he was always looking for ways to take initiative in a fight . Now that he was forced to fall back, it made him really uncomfortable .
“Relax!” Lu Li urged, “You won’t have to avoid them for too long . They already have three status buffs on them, so the snow monsters will definitely be more interested in them . If necessary, I will lure some snow monsters into them . But right now, they are still lurking around, so there need to be a few more fights before they will mobilise . ”

“So what’s the plan?” Moonlight asked .
“You guys just stay safe . You have to leave this to me, but don’t move too far away . Otherwise, things might go wrong,” Lu Li said .
His plan was simple . After ensuring that there was enough distance between them and Glory Capital, he began to step onto the snowy hills .
In general, the map had two kinds of terrain – flat or sloping . Sloped terrain was very important as it was likely to contain snow pits and triggers for landslides . Hence, it was very dangerous . Here, the slope was deep enough that he could hide himself in the snow .
If Lu Li squatted into the snow for an ambush, he would form a small snowy hill .
Of course, most of the small snowy hills around were just made up of snow .
There generally weren’t any snow monsters hidden in these snowy hills, but this was still a possibility . Lu Li could also step through the snow and stun the snow monsters .
When the snow monsters were under the snowy hills, they had a very small aggro range . Even if you walked past the snowy hill, there was a very small probability that it would prompt the snow monster into jumping out and attacking . However, once the snow monster had come out of the snowy hill, they would run towards anything they saw or any movement they detected .

In the world of snow monsters, anything other than a snow monster was an enemy and was attacked .
When he felt some movement underfoot, Lu Li knew that he had stepped on one . He continued running without turning back . When the snow monster climbed out and scratched its head, it saw Lu Li and immediately roared before giving chase .
The snow monsters were were only about 1 . 5m tall and looked like white gorillas . Their lower limbs were short and powerful while their upper limbs were very long .
Perhaps it was because their lower limbs were too short, but even if they jumped forwards, they actually ran very slowly . Lu Li ran farther away and eventually left its aggro range . The snow monster was then left squatting on the spot . It would return to sleep under the snow after half an hour .
After waking the first one, Lu Li then woke another, and another .
“Lu Li, they’re coming . They will probably catch up to us soon; come back quickly!” Moonlight shouted into the chat . There were some maps that allowed chat and some that didn’t . This was one that allowed for it . It was only the previous tropical rainforest map where their coordinates were constantly being updated that was particularly harsh .
“You guys have to stall them; I’ll be back soon,” Lu Li said as he paused and began to turn around .
In fact, he had been circling around his team in preparation for this moment . Since Glory Capital had already seen them, their most urgent task was to find their opponents .
After all, they had three snow monster buffs and Ruling Sword had none .
This advantage was enough to determine the direction of the match . After all, the overall strength of the five players in Glory Capital was not worse than Ruling Sword . If they were feeling confident, they might even be stronger .
Without Lu Li there, Moonlight took control over the situation . He led March Rain, Fat Monkey and Kitty Likes Meat urgently . Everyone moved at inconsistent speeds, so there was a bit of gap between them .
If Lu Li wasn’t back in time, Ruling Sword would eventually be overwhelmed .
It was a five on four, and three of the Glory Capital players had the snow monster buff .
In the land of white snow, they had a bright, eye-catching ring around their feet that would be difficult to ignore .
Moonlight wasn’t worried that their opponents would defeat them before Lu Li returned . After all, Lu Li wasn’t far away .
Sure enough, when the distance between the two sides closed and the battle erupted, Lu Li’s shadow appeared in the distance . He was a little later than Moonlight had thought . Moonlight had initially thought that Lu Li was going to arrive before the battle broke out .
However, when he finally saw him, he started to admire the sinister plan that Lu Li had carried out .
