Chapter 239 Three-Ring Earth Vein Creatures: Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf

The snow wolf is extremely fast.

They seemed to be on the snow-covered hill one moment and right in front of us the next.

The simple walls made of ice spikes by the Snowfowl clan were completely ineffective against the snow wolves.

Snow wolves have always been among the strongest in terms of combat power among creatures of the same level, and are typical predators.

The snow wolf effortlessly leaped over the two-meter-high ice spike fence, using the acceleration of its sprint.

However, this ice spike fence was only set up to prevent wild beasts from invading, and no one really expected it to work on the creatures of the ley lines.

The alpha wolf of the snow wolf horde, however, used its powerful body to smash through the gate and charged into Snowver's camp first.

This is a true case of wolves among sheep.

Once these snow wolves entered the camp, they mercilessly tore apart the throats of both reindeer and humans with their sharp claws and teeth.

"Moo moo moo!!"

"ah!!"

"My child. My child."

The deep, muffled calls of the reindeer and the screams of the Snowfowl instantly merged into one.

Driven by fear, the normally docile reindeer became agitated, running wildly around the camp and causing even greater chaos.

The Snowfield tribe was thrown into chaos, and people fled in all directions.

But soon, the Snowfowl were horrified to discover that the camp was teeming with snow wolves, and there was no way to escape.

A beast tide has appeared and is about to engulf this place.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, help me!"

In the chaos, a child got separated from his parents and fell by the roadside, crying incessantly.

At that moment, a snow wolf tore apart a nearby tent, leaped out, and pounced straight at the child.

"You beast!"

A powerful and angry voice rang out.

Then, an ice blade shot out and pierced through the snow wolf's forehead.

The snow wolf, which had been pouncing in mid-air, suddenly lost its strength. Using its momentum, it flew forward a short distance before landing with a thud in front of the child, startling him into loud crying.

"The men of Snowford bleed but do not shed tears!" The owner of that powerful voice was none other than the Iceborn mage of Snowford.

He grabbed the child who had fallen to the ground and shouted at the same time.

At his shout, the child, whether frightened or convinced, actually stopped crying.

Such scenes are playing out continuously throughout the camp at this moment.

Each hungry snow wolf was searching for its own "prey".

They treated the Snowflake clan's camp as a restaurant, dining there without restraint.

One tent after another was torn apart.

The snow wolves rushed into the tent and began tearing at the Snowfowl inside.

The beast tide broke out two hours after dark.

It was the time when the Snowfarers were preparing to rest, and they were not very alert. So they didn't react until the beast tide had already surged into the camp, and were instantly hit hard.

Night raids are always the best option for attacking a camp, no matter the world.

In situations with extremely limited visibility, the constant screams and howls of wolves can quickly shatter people's defenses.

Inside the tent, countless drops of blood and flesh were splattered.

This was a massacre, a catastrophe for the Snowfield clan.

The limited number of Iceborn mages were simply no match for the overwhelming beast tide.

Even Iceborn mages themselves, let alone ordinary people, cannot guarantee their safety when surrounded by multiple snow wolves.

What's even more despairing is that, in the North, facing the beast tide, there's almost no hope of rescue.

Because on this land, every tribe is independent.

Unlike outside countries where there are regimes, once a city is attacked by ley line creatures, the state apparatus will immediately send reinforcements to the city to provide support.

in the tent.

Before Lana could react, God had already slung his pack over his shoulder, lifted the animal skin curtain, and disappeared into the night.

She felt uneasy and conflicted.

Subconsciously, Lana believed what God said, but emotionally, she couldn't just abandon everything and run away.

Gaode is just a traveler, so she can leave whenever she wants, but this is her home!

Besides, she's not an Iceborn mage, she's just an ordinary person.

Without the protection of the tribe, how could they survive alone on the snowfield?

This kind of thinking, going through various transfers, has actually wasted a lot of time.

As an ordinary member of the tribe, her tent was located on the outermost edge of the entire camp, while the tents in the center of the camp were the residences of the tribe's ice-blooded mages.

When the beast tide broke out, the outermost tents were the first to be damaged.

While Lana was still struggling internally.

Tear!

A sharp sound rang out.

By the time Lana came to her senses, a ferocious snow wolf had already rushed into the tent and pounced on her.

"Ah!" Lana instinctively let out a terrified scream, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

The scent of the snow wolf seemed to waft towards Lana, carrying a foul, fishy odor that made her feel nauseous.

Her heart was racing, and she felt as if she were nailed to the spot, almost unable to stand.

"It's over," Lana thought in despair.

boom!

The next moment, a streak of fire pierced the night and struck the snow wolf directly.

"Still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and leave!"

Gao Desheng, who had returned, easily and instantly killed the zero-ring snow wolf with his [Flame Arrow+] spell, but he was still very nervous.

Because with his current magical power, he can only support a total of 20 spells in the ring-up spellcasting.

Even if each spell can kill one snow wolf, that would only kill a maximum of twenty snow wolves.

This is far too little, too late, to combat the current beast tide.

He looked at Lana, who was still in a daze, and couldn't help but scold her.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Lana was still somewhat dazed.

She knew all too well how terrifying the snow wolf was, as a Northerner, yet it was dealt with so easily by God.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." After all, I've eaten her food for a week, so it's only right that I save her life.

Meanwhile, Gao De mentally prepared a reason for his intervention.

Then, glancing at Lana who hadn't moved yet, he couldn't help but shout again, "Follow me!"

After saying this, Gao De took action again, heading towards the outside of Snowfield Camp.

If Lana follows, he'll give her a ride.

If she still refuses to leave, then Gao De will not stay for her any longer.

He has already done everything he could to be considered benevolent and righteous.

You have to understand that at this time and under these circumstances, wasting even the slightest bit of time is playing with your life.

Fortunately, after that brush with death, Lana's mind was much clearer.

As Gao De's figure was about to disappear into the night, she gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed after him.

The various screams throughout Camp Snowver never stopped, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, a chilling roar came from not far away, sending shivers down Gao De's spine.

He instinctively looked in the direction from which the roar came.

With Mandela's Eye of Magic and the ability to see in the dark, everything was perfectly clear to God.

It was the same alpha wolf that had been seen from inside the tent earlier.

Now that we're closer, every detail is within our sight.

It was a size larger than an ordinary snow wolf, and its fur fluttered like silk in the cold wind.

Moreover, it possesses a pair of golden eyes that are completely different from the blue eyes of other snow wolves, exuding a cold and noble aura.

Golden-eyed Snow Wolf, a creature of the third ring of the earth's veins.

In an instant, information about the snow wolf popped into Gao De's mind.

This was knowledge that Baruch shared with him while they were traveling together.

The Three Rings Earth Vein Creatures are something that Gaode Maps dares not even glance at.

In the face of such a powerful creature, a first-ring mage is not much different from an ordinary person.

"You beast, I'll kill you!" The ice-blooded mage, presumably the chieftain of the Snowfar clan, a burly middle-aged man, roared as he cast a spell on the golden-eyed snow wolf, engaging it in battle.

Gao De paused for only a second before turning away and heading in the direction the golden-eyed snow wolf had turned away from.

Behind him was Lana, who followed closely in his footsteps.

Whoosh!

At this moment, there was no safe place in Camp Snowver.

Another snow wolf pounced from the nearby tent.

Gao De's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it. With the flow of magic power, the spell model was instantly activated, and he threw out a beam of fire that hit the snow wolf.

The explosion of flames sent the snow wolf flying, its fur charred black, as it lay on the ground letting out a painful growl.

Gao De did not perform the ring-up spell.

After all, the same [Fire Arrow+] costs four times as much mana as a normal cast.

In the current situation, Gaode Maps must ensure that its "blue bar" is as sufficient as possible.

Furthermore, he had already collected all the essence of the Zero-Ring Snow Wolf, so he had no need for the Snow Wolf's head.

Therefore, you only need to use normal spells to injure the snow wolf, rather than killing it.

With Lana in tow, Gao De swiftly traversed the chaotic camp.

He seemed to have the ability to foresee the future, always choosing routes with the fewest snow wolves.

This is because there is a glimmer of light in his eyes.

【Detect Magic+】.

Gao De immediately cast the spell, using the magical aura to detect and avoid the area where the magical aura was most concentrated, which was also the area where the snow wolves were most concentrated.

The initial return trip did indeed waste some time.

But with the triple blessing of Mandela's Eye, Dark Vision, and [Detection Magic+], God moved through the chaotic Snowfield Camp as if it were flat ground, and quickly left the center of the chaos.

However, Gaode was not pleased; in fact, they complained that the process was too slow.

We are now in the camp, where countless tents serve as obstacles, slowing down the snow wolves.

In addition, the Snowfowl and reindeer attracted their attention.

In this situation, most of the time, Gaode is facing a lone snow wolf, which is why it seems to be able to handle things with ease.

But once he leaves Snowfield Camp, if he is targeted by snow wolves, God will have to face dozens or even hundreds of snow wolves at the same time.

With a large number of snow wolves, even if they are all at the zero-ring level, in the open wilderness, let alone someone who has only recently advanced to the first ring, even a seasoned first-ring mage would be overwhelmed.

Therefore, we must get away from here while the beast tide is still rampaging in the camp.

The beast tide came from one direction and did not form an encirclement.

Therefore, Gao De arrived at the edge of Snowfield Camp without any trouble.

There are also many Snowfarer tents here.

Fortunately, due to their location, they have not yet been attacked by snow wolves.

But just like Lana before them, they were still hesitant about whether to run away or rush to the center of the chaos to provide support.

Gaode doesn't care about any of that.

Without hesitation, he unleashed [Fire Arrow+], blasting a gap in the ice spike barrier blocking their path, and then led Lana through it.

There were several snow hills around Snowfield Camp. God used Ice Skating to quickly run towards one of the snow hills.

Running towards an open area in the face of a beast tide is suicide.

The snow hill wasn't high, and with the help of the [Ice Skating] skill, Gao De quickly reached the top.

Unlike him, Lana didn't have magical powers, so even though she had lived on the snowfield since childhood, she still couldn't keep up with God and fell behind.

During the brief interval while waiting for her, God glanced at the Snowfield camp.

Then, he witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

A figure leaped out from the snow-covered hill where the beast tide was surging.

Because they were too far apart, the figures were not clearly visible, but Gaode still recognized them at a glance.

It's Baruch.

At this moment, Baruch sat on the back of the Icemane Tiger Ryan, holding an ice sword formed from ice crystals in his hand.

Like a white lightning bolt, he was clearly alone, yet he plunged headlong into the surging tide of beasts without hesitation.

The ferocious snow wolves were sliced ​​and sent flying behind him like vegetables under the icy sword in his hand.

Baruch's target was very clear: the three-ringed, golden-eyed snow wolf that was locked in combat with Chief Snowflake.

The battle between the two had been going on for some time, but Chief Snowflake was clearly losing ground and would soon die under the claws of the Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf.

Because Chief Snowfar was only an early-stage Iceborn mage in the third ring, he was helpless against the Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf, which had outstanding ice resistance and was ferocious.

But now, Baruch has joined the fight.

He wielded his enormous ice sword, which acted like a giant shield, sending all the snow wolves that pounced on him flying.

No matter how many snow wolves there were, or how fierce they were, they could not break through the defensive line created by Baruch's icy sword.

The Icemane Tiger used all its strength, like an armored vehicle, smashing the snow wolf blocking its path, sending it flying with a bloody head.

Baruch, relying on a magically summoned ice sword and the power of the Icemane Tiger, fought his way through the beast tide and arrived at the battlefield where the Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf and Chief Snowford were fighting.

Neither the Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf nor Chief Snowflake expected Baruch's appearance.

The moment Chief Snowflake saw Baruch, his eyes lit up.

However, a hint of caution appeared in the fierce and malevolent eyes of the Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf.

Wolves are intelligent and intuitive creatures.

It sensed that Baruch was not simple, and even smelled a hint of danger.

If Baruch were added to the mix during its battle with Chief Snowflake, it wouldn't be able to guarantee victory.

However, the golden-eyed snow wolf was not afraid.

Because it can also summon... wolves!

The golden-eyed snow wolf's pupils shone with golden light, and it raised its head, letting out a long howl.

After the long howl, within just a few breaths, hundreds of snow wolves nearby bared their sharp teeth and began to howl in response.

They stopped eating and leaped out from every tent and every corner with a whooshing sound.

They swarmed towards Chief Snowflake and Baruch from all sides, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
