"Is there any powerful demon ahead?" Kuma asked.
"It's still a bit complicated to talk about. Let's see for ourselves later." Hunter King Yasen said.
Kuma was even more puzzled. He specifically asked the people of the Mailon Mercenary Group to stop near the giant coniferous forest, and quietly waited for the event that forced all powerful mage groups to gather here.
Mo Fan is a very curious person. He has climbed to the top of a very tall coniferous tree.
Others also wanted to know what was on this frozen lake, and they all went to the top of the big tree. Looking from here, they could see half of the lake, and many areas were shrouded in ice fog. Looking further into the distance. It is an icy ridge completely covered with ice and snow.
The ridge on the other side of the lake in front is already very majestic and steep, giving people a sense of majesty. However, at the far end of the higher horizon, you can still see the ice horn of the sacred mountain hidden in the clouds and ice. This means that the majestic scenery in front of you is The ice and snow ridges are just small hills compared to the real Tianshan Mountains.
"Have you seen those little glass pearlescent dots hovering on the ridge?" Jiang Yu said, pointing to the ridge on the other side of the frozen Tianchi.
"Could it be that some ice crystal dust was exposed to the sun?" Mo Fan couldn't see clearly and guessed.
"The ice crystal dust in your house will circle and fly like that!"
"Probably some kind of creature."
After watching it for a while, there was no sign of any change in the glowing and hovering things, but not long after, there was a lot of movement on the steep slope of the ridge on the other side of Tianchi. It sounded like there were groups of things coming. Rush towards Tianchi.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
The loud calls of other groups of mages came from the giant coniferous forest covered with hoarfrost.
Mo Fan and others were at a high place, and they could just see a group of fat creatures with sharp hairs like steel needles running down on the steep slope of the ridge. They broke into the Tianshan Ice Pool in one breath and looked at the direction in which they were running. , it was running towards the mages.
"Monster beasts??" Deputy Captain Kuma looked at those cattle beasts covered with steel needle hair, with some contempt on his face.
Steel-thorned bull beasts are a warrior-level species in the Tianshan Mountains. Occasionally, you can see some large bull beasts with thorn shells all over their bodies. They are commander-level existences. But even so, these steel-thorned bull beasts are different from the icy thorns. Bull beasts would not allow so many powerful mages to stay here.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The movement began to get louder, and within a few minutes, more monsters appeared on the Tianchi Multi-layer Ridge Mountain shrouded in a layer of ice mist. The number was suddenly overwhelming, because there were clearly many demon beasts on the Multi-layer Ridge Mountain before. It still looked so calm, but now the monsters appeared as if the mountain was sweating, and "dropped" downwards, gathering at the Tianshan Ice Pond.
"Herd!!" Deputy leader Kuma's expression changed at this time.
The beasts were running wildly, and they were heading down the mountain, which meant that after passing through the ice-covered lake, they would directly reach the giant coniferous forest where their group of mages were camping.
"Yes, the herd." Hunter King Yasen said.
"Get ready to meet the enemy." Seeing this scene, Deputy Commander Kuma immediately gave orders to his mercenary group members.
The hunting king Yasen on the side immediately stopped Kuma and said to her helplessly: "Don't worry, you guys will watch for a while."
"Such a huge herd of beasts is enough to smash a mage army into a bloody mess. How could we not prepare in advance?" Kuma said seriously.
"Don't worry." Hunter King Yasen said.
Kuma was doubtful, but still asked his team members to be ready to fight at any time.
…
On the giant coniferous tree, Mo Fan and others had already watched the beasts coming down the mountain.
"This Tianshan Ice Pool seems to be a relatively clear dividing line between the alpine layer and the glacier layer." Lingling said.
"Have those monsters noticed us and rushed down the mountain like this?" Zhao Manyan said.
"It's not like, if they are coming towards us, they will be roughly distributed in a cone shape and run towards the other side of our area." Lingling said.
Many herds of beasts appeared on the multi-layered ridge mountains on the other side. Not only the Tianshan cattle beasts, but also other types of monsters could be seen running wildly, such as the freezing wolf beast, the ice ape mountain beast, the Tianshan howling bear, the shield-horned ice demon...
These monsters are all indigenous residents of the Tianshan Mountains. They account for a relatively large proportion of the entire Tianshan Mountains. They are mainly distributed in the snow layer, alpine layer and meadow layer. They will change their living environment according to the seasons, such as In spring, the plant resources in the meadow layer will become very demanding, and there will also be a large number of small creatures and slave-level monsters to feed them, and these monsters will move to the meadow layer collectively.
"They are all relatively high-level beasts. It is indeed difficult to see such scenes except in Tianshan Mountains." Jiang Shaoxu said.
"It feels like hundreds of summoning mages are using the magic of summoning a tide of beasts together!" Jiang Yu made a more appropriate metaphor.
The summoned beast tide is a high-level magic. The monsters that can rush out from the gate of the summoned beast tide are at least the warrior level, and most of them are of the brute force type, the iron hoof collision type, and the manic running type.
The group of monster beasts now running down from the multi-layered ridge mountain indeed belong to these types. Each one is muscular, covered in armor, and has exposed fangs. Let alone a forest of giant trees, placed in front of them. Cities with many high-rise buildings will also be trampled to the ground by them.
"They are not coming for us, so why are they running down the mountain like this?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
The behavior of the beasts is very strange. If they are just going down the mountain, there is no need to make such a big noise. I have never seen any group of migrating monster beasts hurrying up and chasing and biting them, and they arrived at the ice first. The monsters in the sealed lake were still accelerating, scrambling and panicking.
"The season has changed." Lingling glanced at the vast expanse of ice on the other side of the lake, and then said, "These monster beasts are not settlers in the snow layer. They should mainly inhabit the mountain layer and meadow layer. They will wander to the glacier snow from spring to autumn, test themselves in the most sacred and cold place, and also want to obtain the Tianshan treasures in the glacier and snow, but the glacier and snow in winter is not something they can survive and adapt to. , so during these periods when winter is about to come, they will leave the glacier snow layer as soon as possible and return to the alpine layer and meadow layer... It seems that there are not many roads going down the mountain. This Tianchi is one, so they all gather here."
