The northwest wind that was noisy throughout the night turned quiet the moment the sun rose.
A thin snow mist started to cover the whole island.
After a night of searching, the exhausted trial-goers started to search for a place to rest.
However, the sudden roar of a beast had disrupted their plans.
When they saw the five-meter tall monster with an incomparably muscular body and long white fur running madly on Final Island, especially when they saw the two scrolls in the transparent box hanging on the monster's neck, all the challengers felt their spirits lift.
The exhaustion from the night vanished without a trace.
Each of them transformed into their best hunters and started to chase after the monster.
The number of trial-goers increased.
When Ogden, Fitz and Black Hound, the other three trial-goers that caught Kieran's attention, appeared, more than 80% of the trial-goers on Final Island had gathered.
As for the rest?
Other than Kieran and Schmidt, it wasn't that they didn't want to come.
It was that they couldn't come anymore.
The night on Final Island wasn't just cold, it was dangerous as well.
Some were from nature and some were from fellow trial-goers.
However, none of the trial-goers cared about that.
To put it simply, this result was within their expectations.
Since they made the choice, they had to accept it.
"Not going to make a move?"
The buff Ogden looked at Fitz who was hugging his sword and Black Hound who had to concentrate to not be neglected. His face was showing a provocative smile.
Last night, the three of them had fought more than a dozen times while searching for the scrolls.
However, every single time, the outcome was a draw.
Ogden wasn't satisfied with the result.
If it wasn't for the two of them attacking him at the last moment, the two of them would have been eliminated by him.
"Hmph!"
Fitz glanced over Ogden, he didn't have any intention to make a move.
Just look at the two scrolls inside the transparent box on the monster's neck!
If it wasn't arranged on purpose, Fitz would never believe that the examiners of the Sanctuary would put the two scrolls together.
Who was it arranged for?
It was self-explanatory.
Among all the trial-goers, there was only one group that would move in pairs.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, they would know who it was.
The situation before their eyes was obviously targeted at that group.
How could Fitz make a wedding dress for someone else after putting in so much effort?
It was obvious that all the challengers had the same thoughts.
Therefore, they did not make a move even after following the monster. They were all waiting for a good show to begin.
But not everyone was like that.
Black Hound, who had been silent all this while, suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already at the monster's neck. He raised his hand to grab the transparent box.
All the participants were taken aback.
Then, he stopped breathing.
Because Black Hound easily grabbed the transparent box in his hand.
What?!
How was this possible?!
All the trial takers looked at this scene in disbelief.
This was completely different from what they had imagined!
How could the seemingly powerful monster before him be so clumsy?
If it was to deal with that guy, shouldn't it be very powerful?
All sorts of thoughts surfaced in the minds of the trial takers.
But there was only one left.
Snatch the scrolls!
The Trial Takers stared at the transparent box with fiery eyes. One by one, they rushed towards Black Hound. Black Hound turned and ran.
This scene was exactly the same as what happened in the underground hall yesterday.
The only difference was that it was Nicil who stopped it yesterday.
But today, it was that monster who stopped it.
Roar!
The low and sonorous roar was like a thunder exploding in the sky.
The seemingly clumsy monster's body suddenly enlarged by more than one size. It raised its front limbs that looked like a claw or a palm and smashed it down with unimaginable strength.
Boom!
The trial-takers only felt the ground shake. Then, in their vision, a large patch of snow surged towards them like the waves of the sea.
It was like the breath of a legendary frost giant. The snow wave that was almost 10 meters high instantly drowned the trial takers that were charging at them.
After that, there was no more sound from these trial takers.
The rest of the trial takers retreated in shock, trying to avoid the incoming snow wave. Their instinct told them that something was wrong.
Ogden and Fitz were no exception.
They were the fastest ones to retreat.
It was because they clearly saw the trial takers that were swallowed by the snow wave being covered in frost and turned into ice sculptures in an instant.
Not only did they not have the slightest strength to resist, they didn't even struggle.
It was as if the snow wave had destroyed more than ten trial takers.
Ogden and Fitz knew that they couldn't do it.
That was why both of them were trembling with fear.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The snow wave rushed forward for 50 meters before it gradually stopped. The retreating trial takers saw the ice sculptures in the snow. One of them couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Following the cry, all the other trial takers started to have doubts in their hearts.
However, they couldn't give an accurate answer.
Even though they had more or less come in contact with the mysterious world, they couldn't classify the snow monster that looked like a snowman or a snow monster.
According to the simplest classification, a snowman with long hair and a snow monster with claws.
However, the monster before them had long hair and sharp claws but its body was bigger than both of them. The power that it displayed just now was not something that a normal snowman or snow monster could resist.
Roar!
The monster let out a deep roar again.
Black Hound who was standing not far away cooperatively threw the transparent box in its hand at the monster. Then, it disappeared again as if it didn't exist.
The monster reached out its giant claw-like palm and caught the transparent box. It looked at Black Hound that appeared in its sight but it unconsciously ignored it. Its low intellect made it unable to understand what was going on. However, it knew that since the command was removed, it could finally have a good meal.
The monster's instinct to devour made it quickly turn around and looked at the trial takers that had just escaped death with a brutal gaze.
Instantly, all the trial takers felt a chill down their spine.
An oppressive aura from the upper end of the food chain caused the Trial Takers, who were targeted by the monster, to tremble all over.
They couldn't even hold their swords properly.
Without a second thought, one of the trial takers turned around and ran.
Without hesitation, one of the trial-takers turned around and ran.
The rest of the trial takers scattered like birds and beasts.
The rest of the trial takers scattered like birds and beasts without exception.
The speed of their escape was a few times faster than when they gathered.
However, compared to the monster, it was nothing.
The monster that lived in a world of ice and snow was like a fish in water on Final Island.
One after another, the trial takers were swallowed by the monster.
The agonizing cries of their companions before they were swallowed by the monster made the rest of the trial takers run even faster.
They wished their parents could give them two more legs.
So did Ogden.
Under the cold weather, Ogden's forehead was covered in sweat and hot air was rising. He clenched his teeth and ran with all his might.
One after another, the trial takers were left behind.
He didn't need to outrun the monster, all he needed was to outrun the people around him.
Ogden had the confidence to do so.
So, he had the leisure to check his surroundings.
When he saw a few of the trial takers who were lagging behind running towards a certain direction, even though he was running, Ogden's face was filled with astonishment.
If he remembered correctly, that direction should be the place where that bastard built his treehouse.
"Diverting the trouble?"
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Ogden's heart.
Not only Ogden saw it.
The other trial takers who were running in front also saw the scene.
They were either as astonished as Ogden.
Or ridiculing.
When they saw the monster was running towards that direction, most of their expressions turned into gloating expressions.
