Of course, Zhao Hai knew that this was not the case. He realized that there was no soul activity in these ice beasts. They might just be puppets. Of course, puppets did not know fear, so they did not know how to retreat.
Zhao Hai had been using black magic the most, and the summoner among The Black Mages had an inextricable relationship with the human soul.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was very sensitive to soul fluctuations. Many ice beasts had died, but Zhao Hai didn't feel any soul fluctuations. This made Zhao Hai certain that these ice beasts were puppets.
However, what made Zhao Hai feel strange was that these puppets did not seem to be commanded by humans. Instead, they were made to move on their own after being created. Therefore, these ice beasts did not seem to have formed any attack system. They were only acting on instinct and in a disorderly manner. This made Zhao Hai feel very strange.
