For a while, a light would occasionally flash around them.
Finally, stepping on the thick snowdrifts, the snow beasts slowly came into view.
The one that catches the most attention is the one in the lead.
Unlike the previous snow beasts, this snow beast was extremely ugly, with an overall yellowish-green color scheme and its body covered with uneven, tumor-like protrusions.
Some of them were still wriggling slightly, as if they were living tissue.
Its mouth was enormous, splitting open to its ears to reveal sharp fangs and a sticky tongue. Its limbs were thick and powerful, with sharp claws at the ends of its fingers and toes.
But when everyone's gaze shifted to what was behind it, they all gasped in shock.
Because it also has a pair of huge wings on its back, with thick, semi-transparent wing membranes covered with intricate blood vessels and textures.
Damn it, no martial ethics whatsoever! The Snow Beast King can actually fly!
this……
The group exchanged glances and gave a wry smile. It seemed that this time, they had no choice but to match the answer!
Having wings means the opponent can easily cross over. With the attack power of a level 6 snow beast, Black Tower would definitely not be able to withstand the opponent's attack.
Those below would all die if exposed to the outside.
Seeing this, the players all had solemn expressions, and they secretly made up their minds.
Suddenly, the other side moved.
The players were on edge, holding their breath and watching intently as they observed the snow beast's every move.
The Snow Beast King flapped its enormous wings and slowly rose into the air, while the other snow beasts pressed down to the edge of the ice.
As they got closer, the Snow Beast King's massive body appeared even more ferocious in the dim light.
The two sides were only a dozen meters apart, but all the players could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from it.
The snow beasts seemed to have also keenly sensed the presence of a large number of "food" gathered here; their nostrils flared slightly, and their eyes gleamed with greed.
For a moment, deafening roars echoed across the empty snowfield.
Since City Y is located on the west side of this prison island, it has become a key area for players to defend.
As for the other positions, Jian Yiqiu climbed to the highest point of the prison island alone, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, scanning the surroundings to ensure that no one could slip through the net.
If a snow beast is found landing on the island in another location, he is responsible for killing it as soon as possible. Even if he cannot kill it, he must quickly notify the players to come to the rescue.
Cheng Ce originally wanted to join as well, but as soon as he stepped out of the shelter, the biting cold wind that hit him cut his skin like a sharp blade, instantly freezing him until his face turned white and his lips turned purple.
Seeing this, Jian Yiqiu reacted quickly, pulling him back and then pushing Cheng Ce back to the entrance without saying a word.
There was no way around it; ordinary people simply couldn't withstand such temperatures. If it weren't for the protective suit Xiao Jin gave him, he probably wouldn't be much better off than Cheng Ce.
Since Cheng Ce couldn't come, Jian Yiqiu became the one who went to the high place to keep watch.
On the other side, it was the snow beasts who first broke the silence of this sea area.
The Snow Beast King spread its enormous wings, calmly preparing to leap across the sea. The other snow beasts, unable to fly, had no choice but to jump into the sea.
However, considering that the snow beast could swim, the players deliberately adjusted the originally planned 8-meter sea area to 15 meters.
Many level 1 and 2 snow beasts thrashed about in the water before sinking. Others were used as stepping stones by their companions and couldn't float to the surface, eventually drowning.
Of course, many more advanced snow beasts developed the ability to think, and apart from a small number of those with intellectual deficiencies, the rest all came up with solutions.
Those with good jumping ability leaped into the air, landing on their companions in the sea and easily landing on the ice on the opposite shore.
The transparent, giant-eyed snow beast extended its tentacles and placed them on both banks, allowing the other snow beasts to safely cross the 'bridge' and reach the shore.
Of course, the players' side reacted extremely quickly to this sudden attack.
Almost the instant the Snow Beast King appeared, several dazzling beams of light shot out from different directions like lightning piercing the night sky.
Xiao Jin gripped the composite crossbow tightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, and tilted his head slightly to watch the crossbow bolt pierce the tumor.
With a soft "plop," the crossbow bolt pierced deep into the ground, as if it had burst through a container filled with pressure, and a stream of black liquid mixed with stench and ominous signs suddenly gushed out.
The next second, the black liquid dripped into the seawater, instantly triggering a chain reaction.
The once calm sea surface seemed to be stirred up by an invisible force, and began to churn and surge. Then, in that instant, the seawater in Xiao Jin's eyes seemed to be stained with ink, rapidly turning from clear to pitch black.
The low-level snow beasts became increasingly excited and thrived in the strange seawater.
Apart from Xiao Jin, the other players around him all showed expressions of shock.
Those closer to the sea surface all retreated a few steps without leaving a trace.
Damn it!
Although I don't know what that liquid is, getting it on me is definitely not a good thing!
The rest of the attacks, except for Xiao Jin who was lucky, were all crushed by the Snow Beast King's giant palm halfway through.
Of course, this scene, apart from making the players' expressions a bit unpleasant, doesn't really prove anything, since that attack was basically just a test.
Now comes the main point.
On the sea, the Snow Beast King's roar rang out again, deafeningly loud.
It seemed to be enraged by the players' attack, its cold eyes flashing with an even fiercer light as it charged down, and the battle officially began.
