After hearing this, Jared fell into a brief silence. Then, with a wave of his hand, he commanded, “Let’s move quickly through here, and no one is allowed to touch the bodies!”
Jared’s words caused the holy maidens to feel nervous and tense. However, they all heeded him.
Just as Jared and his companions had taken a few steps forward, suddenly, the ground shook violently.
Then, not far from the snow-capped mountains ahead, plumes of snow mist rose high into the sky. Five demon beasts were charging toward them at an incredible speed!
These demon beasts moved at an impressive speed, stirring up trails of snow mist beneath their feet, truly reminiscent of clouds.
“Snow-cloud beasts! They really are snow-cloud beasts. We’re in trouble now.”
Upon seeing the situation, Bianca’s expression changed drastically.
The other holy maidens too, turned pale, instantly conjuring their frost swords in their hands.
“We hadn’t even reached the polar region yet, and we’ve already encountered such a formidable demon beast. What rotten luck!”
In the blink of an eye, the five demon beasts had reached Jared and his companions. These beasts were massive in size, each resembling a small hill. Their bodies were blanketed with thick layers of snow, allowing them to evade the probing of spiritual senses.
No wonder Jared hadn’t detected any signs of life earlier, nor had he discovered the corpses.
The bodies had been deeply buried by the heavy snowfall, making them utterly impossible to detect.
The five snow-cloud beasts emanated an icy chill, their nostrils exhaling a mist that quickly solidified.
Moreover, these demon beasts were covered in thick fur, which was frosted over, forming a sort of armor.
One of them, the leader, swept its piercing gaze over everyone. It let out a series of roars from its mouth, as if it was throwing down a challenge!
“Mr. Chance, what should we do?”
Bianca was somewhat at a loss.
Although they were numerous, the snow-cloud beasts were simply too powerful.
The leader was an Eighth Level Tribulator, demon beast, while the other four were Seventh Level Tribulator demon beasts. This lineup was just too outrageous!
“Leave the leader of the snow-cloud beasts to me,” Jared declared. “As for the remaining four, you guys can decide among yourselves how to divide them. There are over a dozen of you, so handling four Seventh Level Tribulator demon beasts shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Okay, we’ll do our best…” Bianca said with a nod, though she didn’t sound very confident.
After all, they had heard that dealing with these snow-cloud beasts was quite challenging, and they had never even faced one before!
Suddenly, Jared took flight, swiftly hurling himself toward the leader of the snow-cloud beasts.
As the snow-cloud beast bellowed, the ground beneath shivered, cracks appearing in succession. The deafening roar was so powerful that it seemed to warp the very air around them.
“Roar all you want!”
With a powerful punch, Jared struck the snow- cloud beast. The immense body of the creature was instantly sent flying.
Jared was confident about dealing with the Eighth Level Tribulator snow-cloud beast. Although he couldn’t take it down instantly, he estimated the beast couldn’t withstand many of his moves.
Currently, Jared had already reached the Third Level Tribulator realm and had just gained enlightenment in time nascence. Hence, even when facing an Eighth Level Tribulator demon beast, he was still brimming with confidence.
Jared’s sole concern was whether these dozen or so holy maidens could handle the remaining four snow-cloud beasts.
Upon seeing Jared take action, Bianca raised her frost sword, calling out loudly, “Form the formation. We must unite and slay these four beasts. We can’t let Mr. Chance look down on us!”
The group of dozen holy maidens raised their frost swords, and instantly, a series of pure white auras began to flow from the tips of their blades. These auras then gathered in mid-air, forming a cloud of chilling sword energy.
In a flash, the holy maidens clashed with the four snow-cloud beasts.
The women worked in perfect harmony, their frost swords continuously swinging around. The condensed sword energy too, was constantly changing.
The four demon beasts were swiftly struck by several of the swords. However, due to their robust defenses, they didn’t sustain any fatal injuries.
A holy maiden gritted her teeth and spoke. “Bianca, if we keep going like this, I’m afraid we’re going to wear ourselves out eventually!”
