After traveling for another three days, Lin Feng's team had left the complex canyon area and arrived at a vast, boundless snowfield.
The three pale white suns in the sky emitted an eternal, cold light, casting a lonely hue over the entire world.
The long trek left everyone's spirits on the verge of numbness and exhaustion.
Just then, an unusual feeling made everyone stop in their tracks.
It was an extremely subtle vibration coming from deep within the ice beneath our feet.
At first, people thought it was an illusion. But soon, the tremors became stronger and clearer.
The ground began to hum and resonate, and some soft snow began to slide down the distant hillside.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" a woman shouted in panic.
For the first time, Lin Feng's expression became truly serious.
He suddenly looked up, gazing at the distant horizon. His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of space, reaching the farthest reaches of the horizon.
"Oh no!" Li Xiangbin, who had been laughing and joking the whole time, instantly lost all color in his face. His eyes revealed an unprecedented, heartfelt fear: "B-Big Brother, this commotion... could it be...?"
He didn't need to finish speaking; everyone had already seen it.
On the distant horizon, a white line appeared.
The line was rapidly widening and rising, whipping up a sky full of snow and mist, like a white tsunami, sweeping wildly toward their location with a devastating force!
"Boom!"
Only then did the dull, booming sound, like a million thunderclaps exploding simultaneously, reach their ears, accompanied by the howling wind.
The sound was so loud that everyone felt their hearts were about to be shattered.
As they got closer, they finally saw the true face of the "white tsunami".
That wasn't a tsunami at all!
Instead, it was a vast herd of beasts composed of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of enormous creatures!
Each of those creatures was like a moving small mountain, with a shoulder height of over three meters and a body length of over six meters, and their entire bodies were covered with thick, snow-like white fur.
On their heads grow a pair of huge, majestic horns, as clear and bright as crystal.
Under the sunlight, thousands of crystal horns refract a dazzling yet deadly light.
"Crystal-horned snow yaks! It's the migration of crystal-horned snow yaks! Run!"
Li Xiangbin let out a heart-wrenching, tearful roar.
His face was filled with despair.
Crystal Horned Snow Yak is one of the most representative giant herbivorous beasts on the ice plains.
Individually, they may not be as powerful as saber-toothed tigers, but when they gather into such a massive herd and undertake the seasonal migration, they become a mobile natural disaster!
An unstoppable, pure physical storm capable of crushing everything in its path!
Let alone flesh and blood, even a city made of steel would be instantly razed to the ground under this endless, tidal wave of impact!
run?
Where to run?
On this vast, open plain, how could a human possibly outrun this surging tide of beasts on two legs?
despair!
A deeper and more complete despair than when facing the saber-toothed tiger before, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed everyone's hearts.
The women let out piercing screams, clutching their heads, kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling violently with extreme fear.
Some people had even given up thinking, simply staring blankly at the approaching horde of beasts, which resembled a white wall of death.
Faced with such a natural disaster, an individual's strength seems so insignificant and laughable.
Even Li Xiangbin, a man as strong as a bear, gave up resisting at this moment.
He knew that even if there were a hundred of him, wielding warhammers and charging into the horde of beasts, they would only be instantly crushed into mincemeat, not even making a ripple.
This is a catastrophe that is certain to kill!
“It’s over…it’s all over…” Li Xiangbin muttered to himself, his face ashen.
Li Luoshen held the two trembling young girls tightly, then looked up at the only man still standing.
She wanted to see a hint of panic, a hint of fear, even just a trace on his face.
This at least proves that he is still a human being.
However, she was disappointed.
There was no fear on Lin Feng's face. He simply stood there quietly, letting the wind tousle his long black hair.
His eyes remained calm, but deep within that calm, a flame was burning.
Just as the devastating beast tide was less than a kilometer away from them, the powerful sense of oppression almost suffocated everyone.
Lin Feng suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha... Hahahaha! Well done! Well done!"
His laughter was filled with an indescribable arrogance and unruliness.
The sudden, eerie laughter, set against a backdrop of despair, stunned everyone.
Li Xiangbin looked at Lin Feng in disbelief, wondering if his brother Feng had gone mad with fright.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Feng put two fingers in his mouth and whistled an incredibly loud and sharp whistle.
"call out!"
The whistle possessed a magical power, piercing through the deafening rumble of hooves, tearing through the sky, and reaching the highest and farthest reaches of heaven.
The next second, something unexpected happened!
The three pale suns in the sky dimmed for a moment.
Two enormous, almost sunless black shadows swooped down from the highest clouds at an unimaginable speed!
What is that?!
Everyone instinctively raised their heads, their pupils dilating to their maximum size in an instant.
Those were two enormous, breathtaking birds of prey with wingspans exceeding twenty-five meters, as if they had stepped out of mythology.
Their bodies are so graceful yet powerful, covered in translucent feathers that are as clear and translucent as ice.
The edge of each feather refracts a rainbow of light under the sun, shimmering and majestic, both sacred and awe-inspiring. They are like claws forged of gold, capable of easily crushing steel!
Shining Falcon! The undisputed ruler of the skies on this planet!
"Chasing the Wind! Chasing the Moon!" Lin Feng roared to the sky, calling out their names.
The two Radiant Falcons let out a high-pitched, clear cry, the sound seemingly coming from the heavens above, full of regal aura.
They circled in the air, then, like two heavy bombers, swooped down toward the unstoppable herd of Crystal Horned Snow Yaks!
“What…what are they going to do?” a woman cried out.
"Could it be...could it be that they're going to attack the beast horde?" Li Xiangbin was also dumbfounded.
To everyone's astonishment, the Shining Winged Falcon, named "Wind Chaser," suddenly opened its massive jaws.
It made no sound, but instead spewed out a vast, visible white stream of cold air.
That wasn't ordinary cold air; it was an icy aura of absolute zero, capable of freezing everything instantly!
"Snap! Snap, snap!"
Where the cold wave passed, the galloping herd of crystalline snow yaks, the first few hundred of them, didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry before they were instantly frozen into crystal-clear ice sculptures in their running posture.
A lifelike ice sculpture wall composed of hundreds of giant beasts suddenly appeared directly in front of the beast tide.
The snow yaks surging forward from behind had no time to brake and crashed violently into the incredibly hard ice wall, producing a series of terrifying sounds of bones shattering.
The vanguard of the entire beast tide was instantly thrown into chaos.
Meanwhile, the other Ice Falcon, "Chasing the Moon," glided past at high speed, skimming close to the ground, in a more agile manner.
Each flap of its wings stirs up a terrifying blizzard, leaving a deep, instantly frozen icy trail on the ground.
It's like the most skillful shepherd, using ice walls and blizzards to forcefully "draw" a new river channel on this vast plain.
The beast tide is blind; it only follows its own kind in front of it.
When the leading snow yaks were blocked by ice walls and forced to turn by blizzards, the entire massive herd, like a gentle river, began to slowly change direction.
The devastating white torrent was cleaved in two by these two divine birds that descended from the sky in an almost artistic manner, splitting into two streams that rushed past the human ranks and off to the left and right.
The women could clearly feel the earthquake-like tremors, smell the strong, fishy odor emanating from the snow yaks, and see their eyes, reddened with fear.
The nearest snow yak was less than ten meters away from them!
However, this mere ten meters has become an insurmountable chasm.
An hour later, as the last snow yak galloped past them, the deafening hoofbeats gradually faded into the distance, and the world returned to silence once more.
Only two Radiant Falcons, hovering in mid-air like gods, and a magnificent ice wall composed of hundreds of giant ice sculptures, shimmering with fantastical light in the sunlight.
There is another group of humans whose brains have completely shut down, standing still like puppets.
"Well done." Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction as he watched the two divine birds circling down.
Chasing Wind and Chasing Moon let out an affectionate cry and slowly landed beside Lin Feng.
They folded their wings, lowered their noble heads, and gently rubbed their cold, crystal-like beaks against Lin Feng's shoulder, like the most docile pets being affectionate.
Li Luoshen, Chen Jing, Xiaoya... all the women looked at the scene before them with the eyes of someone who viewed a "miracle".
Their lips trembled, their bodies shook, their legs buckled, and one after another, they involuntarily knelt down.
This time, it wasn't out of fear, but out of... awe.
An absolute awe of greatness and transcendence that comes from the deepest part of the soul.
If Lin Feng's previous slaying of the saber-toothed tiger with a single strike made them think he was an "inhuman" powerhouse, a "god-like" being.
Now, with a mere flick of the wrist, he summons the divine bird of heaven to divert the horde of calamities—this is beyond the comprehension of gods and demons.
This is a power that only God possesses!
This is the power of a true "deity" whose word becomes law!
Their worldview was shattered at that moment, and then rebuilt in a completely new way, centered around Lin Feng.
“God…it really is God…” Chen Jing murmured to herself, unaware that her glasses had slipped off her nose at some point.
Science, in her eyes, had become an utterly pale joke.
Li Luoshen knelt on the ground and bowed her head deeply, deeply.
The last shred of pride and independent thinking that belonged to modern women in her heart was crushed at this moment.
She realized that they survived not because of their resilience and hard work, but purely because this "god"... needed them to survive.
Their fate was decided by him from the very beginning.
Li Xiangbin, on the other hand, plopped down on the ground, his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
Although he knew that Brother Feng had two Shining Wing Falcons as pets, the adorable pets he saw in the shelter and the shocking scene of witnessing them fighting against the horde of natural disaster beasts were two completely different things.
The crisis of the beast tide was resolved in a way that exceeded everyone's expectations.
The atmosphere became even more peculiar for the rest of the journey.
The women no longer complained or whispered; they simply followed Lin Feng silently and devoutly.
The way they looked at Lin Feng was no longer simple trust and reliance, but filled with fanatical worship and awe, like the most loyal believers in ancient times following their earthly god.
The team's morale reached an unprecedented peak as a result.
Because they firmly believed that as long as they followed this omnipotent god, they would surely reach that legendary, heaven-like "sanctuary".
