"Are there any powerful demon creatures ahead?" Kuma asked him.
"It's a little complicated. Let's take a look ourselves," Yassen said.
Kuma was even more confused. She purposely asked the members of the Mailong Private Military Group to stop close to the forest of needles and wait patiently for the event that had forced so many powerful groups to gather here.
Mo Fan was a very curious person. At this moment, he had already climbed to the top of a very tall coniferous tree.
The others were curious about what was on the frozen lake, too. They quickly climbed to the top of the tree. They could vaguely see half of the lake from their vantage point. Many parts of the lake were shrouded in icy mist. Further ahead was an icy ridge covered in snow.
The mountain ridge on the other side of the lake was already very lofty and steep, giving people a sense of grandeur. However, even higher up in the sky, one could still see the ice tip of the divine mountain hidden in the clouds. This meant that the grandeur of ice and snow in front of them was just a small hill compared to the real Tianshan Mountain.
"Do you see the tiny glowing dots circling the mountain ridge?" Jiang Yu pointed at the mountain ridge on the other side of the Icebound Lake.
"Could it be the ice crystals that are exposed to the sunlight?" Mofan speculated. He could not see the dots clearly.
"Do you think the ice crystals in your house can fly in circles like that?"
"I think it's some kind of creature."
After observing for a while, those glowing things didn't show any signs of change. However, not long after, there was a huge commotion on the mountain ridge on the other side of the Heavenly Lake. It sounded like a group of things was rushing towards the Heavenly Lake.
"They're here, they're here!"
Cries of other groups came from the frost-covered forest of needles.
Mo Fan and the others were on high ground. They could see a bunch of fat creatures with hair as sharp as steel needles running down the slope. They went straight into the lake and were heading straight for the Mages.
"Demon creatures?" Kuma wore a disdainful look when she saw the bulls covered in spiky fur.
The Steel Spike Bulls were Warrior-level creatures on Tianshan Mountain. They would occasionally see larger bulls covered in thorns. They were Commander-level creatures, but even so, the Steel Spike Bulls and the Ice Spike Bulls were not enough to attract so many powerful Mages.
"Long long long long long ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The commotion was getting louder and louder. In just a few minutes, more demonic beasts appeared on the multi-layered ridges of the Heavenly Lake that was covered in a layer of icy mist. The number of demonic beasts was so high that it was terrifying. Previously, the multi-layered ridges of the Heavenly Lake looked so calm, but now, the demonic beasts were sweating like a mountain. Furthermore, they were dripping down and gathering at the Heavenly Lake.
"It's a herd of demon creatures!" Kuma's expression shifted.
The horde of beasts was sprinting down the mountain. In other words, once they crossed the frozen lake, they would reach the forest where the Magicians had set up camp.
"Yes, a herd of demon creatures," Yassen confirmed.
"Get ready to fight!" Kuma immediately ordered her mercenaries when she saw this.
Yassen immediately stopped Kuma and said helplessly, "Don't worry, just watch for a while longer."
"Such a huge number of demon creatures is enough to crush an army of Mages. How can we not be prepared?" Kuma said sternly.
"Don't worry," Yassen said.
Kuma was skeptical, but she still told her men to get ready for battle.
…
Mo Fan and the others could already see the horde of beasts descending the mountain from the top of the needles.
"The Heavenly Mountain Ice Pool seems to be the boundary between the Alpine Layer and the Glacial Layer," Lingling said.
"Did the demon creatures notice us? Why are they coming down the mountain?" Zhao Manyan wondered.
"It doesn't seem like it. If they were coming for us, they would spread out in a cone-shaped formation and head to the other side of the lake," Ling Ling said.
Many demon creatures had shown up on the ridges on the other side of the lake. Apart from the Tianshan Bulls, they also saw other species of demon creatures running across the ridges, including Furious Frost Wolves, Ice Apes, Tianshan Howling Bears, and Shield-Horn Ice Demons …
The demon creatures were the natives of Tianshan Mountain. They occupied a relatively large proportion of the living creatures on Tianshan Mountain. They were mainly distributed in the Snow Layer, the Alpine Layer, and the Meadow Layer. Their living environment would change according to the seasons. For example, during spring, the resources in the Meadow Layer would be abundant. Lots of little creatures and Servant-class demon creatures would feed them. The demon creatures would then move to the Meadow Layer.
"They are all high-level demon creatures. It's rare to see something like this anywhere else apart from Tianshan Mountain," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"It feels like hundreds or thousands of Summoners are casting the Beast Tide Spell at the same time!" Jiang Yu came up with a suitable comparison.
The Beast Tide Spell was an Advanced Spell. The demon creatures that came out of the Beast Tide were at least Warrior-level creatures, and most of them had brute strength, stampede, or stampede.
The group of Demon Beasts that were rushing down from the multi-layered mountain ridge indeed belonged to these types. They were all muscular, covered in armor, and bared their fangs. Not to mention a forest of giant trees, even a city of tall buildings would be trampled to the ground in front of them.
"If they aren't coming for us, why are they running down the mountain?" Mofan was confused.
The behavior of the beasts was very strange. If they were just going down the mountain, there was no need to make such a big fuss. He had never seen a migrating group of beasts rushing as if there was something chasing after them. Moreover, the beasts that had reached the frozen lake first were still speeding up. They were scrambling to be the first and panicking.
