Bam......
A Frost Wolf less than two meters in length suddenly charged out from the thick fog area of the southern snowfield. It fixated on the Cold Ruins Tripod burning atop the Snow Hill, and its originally jade-green vertical pupils gradually filled with blood red due to greed and desire.
"Awooo......"
The Frost Wolf had already spotted the group from the Great Xia on the Snow Hill with their Cold Resistance Level; it could clearly sense the significant threat these people posed to it. Initially, a trace of dread flashed in its eyes, but soon greed overwhelmed it. After a roar of anger, its body suddenly swelled up, instantaneously transforming into a gigantic entity over twenty meters long.
Roar… Roar… Roar......
And this Frost Wolf was only the beginning!
Long-tongue Snow Mane, Golden-eyed Demon Sheep, Frost Electric Ape, Fire Stone Tiger, Blue Moon Elf, Golden Armored Thunder Kui, Cloud Mist Teng Jiao, Striped Tiger, Long-tailed Rodent, White Bear…
More than a hundred in total, with nearly twenty different forms of Cold Beasts, burst out from the thick fog area in large numbers, clawing and fanging as they charged out. Like the Frost Wolf, they fixated on the Cold Ruins Tripod atop the Snow Hill, their eyes filled with greed and desire. They clearly felt the threat from the group on Snow Hill, yet they did not hesitate to shift into battle mode and accelerated towards the Snow Hill.
One should know, in terms of size, the Frost Wolf counts as small among the Cold Beasts, yet even so, once in battle mode, an Advanced Frost Wolf typically exceeds twenty meters in length.
If that's the Frost Wolf, needless to say, the others follow suit.
More than a hundred Advanced Cold Beasts all transformed into battle form, charging straight towards Snow Hill; describing the scene as covering the sky and blocking the sun would not be an exaggeration.
And there were more than just a hundred.
The Advanced Cold Beasts in the thick fog area almost never stopped.
"They should all be out now, except for the Frost Wolves and Snow Manes, those two tribes didn't move. The Cold Ruins Tripod's attraction to these beasts is immense indeed!"
On the Snow Hill, Xia Hong's gaze was like a torch as he watched the Cold Beasts approaching, turning to shout to his companions, "Proceed as per the original plan, don't aim to kill, just divert them separately."
"Lord, these Cold Beasts are too insane, let's extinguish the Cold Ruins Tripod first!"
A suggestion was put forth, but it didn't gain Xia Hong's approval.
"No need to worry, they won't make it up Snow Hill."
The first Frost Wolf had already climbed onto the sloped edge of Snow Hill, so by the time Xia Hong finished speaking, he had drawn the Cold Blood Blade and charged forward.
Puchi!
Xia Hong moved like a phantom, and in an instant, stood directly in front of the Frost Wolf, thrusting the Cold Blood Blade into its lower jaw.
Advanced Cold Beasts are naturally not so easily slain; the Frost Wolf visibly sensed the Cold Blood Blade siphoning its blood, a flash of fear crossing its pupils, it immediately turned to pull away and dodge the blade.
However, how could Xia Hong let it escape? With a close body tackle, he rushed forward, his body like a cannonball crashing into the Frost Wolf's chest.
The Frost Wolf, over twenty meters long, was knocked backward by Xia Hong like a kite with a broken string, tumbling tens of meters backward.
Bam......
Numerous Cold Beasts were rushing towards the Snow Hill, so when the Frost Wolf's body was knocked back, it crashed into a large line of charging Cold Beasts, temporarily halting their advance.
The two hundred-plus Cold Resistance Level onlookers on the Snow Hill were instantly dumbfounded.
"Gulp… just how many manes is the Lord's basic strength?"
"This one hit at least toppled over a dozen Cold Beasts!"
"No wonder they said these Advanced Cold Beasts couldn't make it up, the Lord is too powerful!"
"Is the Lord really the same Cold Resistance Level cultivation as us?"
.........
Pressing his advantage, Xia Hong stepped on the Frost Wolf's forehead before it could regain its footing, reversed his grip on the Cold Blood Blade, and drove it straight through the left eye into its brain.
Hiss…
The bloodthirsty property of the Cold Blood Blade was triggered. Unlike before, the Frost Wolf's head suffered severe damage, so its struggle lasted less than two or three breaths.
"Seven teams, each fend for yourselves, divert these Cold Beasts separately. Just ensure I'm not surrounded, for the rest, feel free to act!"
Extracting the Cold Blood Blade, Xia Hong continued charging at the nearest Teng Jiao, noticing with his peripheral vision that many Cold Beasts had bypassed him and were heading towards the top of the Snow Hill, he immediately shouted to the others to start acting.
Li Xuanling, Xia Chuan, and the seven squads promptly responded and moved.
Cold Resistance Level is not equal to Earth-digging Realm Limit, with their basic strength being at least one mane or more, making it hard to equip them with a Strong Bow of matching force. Hence, among the 200-plus Cold Resistance Level present, only some who joined recently from Longyou had bows, while most only had a piece of Thousand Forged Weapons.
Fortunately, during the grouping, Xia Chuan had been considerate, so the archer individuals were evenly distributed among the seven squads. About five archers per squad on average.
"Hou Ming, you guys shoot; the rest, come with me to intercept on the left!"
In Yuwen Dao's squad, Hou Ming and four others were equipped with bows. After deciding to intercept from the left, Yuwen Dao signaled Hou Ming to have his group suppress with arrows, while he led over twenty others with weapons drawn into close combat with the Cold Beasts.
The other six teams modeled this tactic, quickly spreading out below Snow Hill to establish a defensive line, breaking up the Cold Beasts.
Bam......
"Hold back these few Cold Beasts, don't let them get close to the Lord!"
