Soon, Snow Mane’s head was once again pierced by hundreds of iron arrows.
Fortunately, Xia Hong had provided the hunters with fifty iron arrows each; otherwise, given how they were using them, the arrows might have run out before Snow Mane died.
As Snow Mane’s movements slowed down, the hit rate of the iron arrows increased.
Under Xia Hong’s leadership, each member of the hunting team became exceedingly cautious.
No matter how slowly Snow Mane moved, they were not the least bit negligent and continued to shoot arrows mercilessly.
After the team fired consecutively, almost a dozen rounds, Snow Mane’s breath weakened to the extreme, finally unable to hold on.
Its huge body collapsed into the pit.
After struggling for such a long time, it never escaped that natural trench.
By all accounts, everyone should have stopped by then.
However, even so, they didn’t need an order from Xia Hong.
Everyone still didn’t stop.
They continued to shoot arrows at Snow Mane in the trench until the first person emptied the arrow quiver on his back and finally stopped.
Then the second, the third, the fourth…
Until everyone had emptied the arrows in their hands, no one stepped forward.
All fifteen eyes turned to Xia Hong, who was already a blood-stained figure at the front.
“Don’t rush, let’s wait a bit.”
Though Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief, he hesitated as he gazed at the pit from more than ten meters away, not letting the others advance.
He had experienced Snow Mane’s cunning nature before.
Lower-level Cold Beasts, due to their limited strength, couldn’t be crafty in his presence;
but the one in front of him was an Intermediate Cold Beast.
“Chuan, give it a try!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan nodded, and with a light pull on the white thread, a broken tree was dragged over from the side.
The rest of the team stepped back a few steps, leaving Xia Chuan alone to slowly drag the tree to the edge of the pit.
Xia Chuan was smart; he didn’t pull it over with a wide, open movement but instead slowed down, creating noises akin to human footsteps.
Due to the elevation, everyone’s eyes could focus precisely on Snow Mane in the pit.
At that moment, naturally, no one dared to lose focus; all eyes were fixed intently on it.
As expected, the moment the tree reached the edge of the pit.
Snow Mane’s eyes suddenly snapped open!
As if revived, it suddenly flipped its body, aiming the spikes on its back at the tree by the pit’s edge, and then quickly shook its body.
“Dodge, quickly dodge, get to the ground!”
The moment Snow Mane revealed its back, Xia Hong had already guessed.
He immediately shoved Luo Yuan beside him and then shouted a command to everyone, leaping off the tree directly.
The other fourteen people, including Xia Chuan, who was controlling the tree, also quickly followed him down the tree.
The hundreds of cold spikes on Snow Mane’s back, resembling steel spears, detached from its body and shot out rapidly in all directions like javelins.
Hundreds of cold spikes sliced through the night, casting a chilling glow, beautiful like a storm of pear blossoms yet filled with murderous intent.
Everywhere they passed, trees collapsed, and the ground shattered.
Even the air seemed to be sliced into countless pieces.
After the furious roar, a chaotic and hurried shuffle of footsteps followed.
“It wants to run, chase it!”
Rising from the snow-covered ground where he’d been hiding, Xia Hong saw the empty trench and the silhouette of Snow Mane not far away, his expression immediately darkened.
“After all this effort, if I let you escape, that won’t do!”
“Leader, Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai are injured.”
“Qiu Peng, Ying Xuan, stay to look after them, the rest follow me to pursue, quick!”
Even as Xia Hong spoke, he had already started the chase.
The others, knowing the situation was urgent, needed no further communication.
The two named stayed behind, while the rest immediately followed.
