"Why didn't they leave the mountain earlier? Why did they have to wait until now? It's already the end of autumn, and the strongest winter storm is coming soon. Why do they have no concept of time?" asked Mofan.
"The glaciers are the richest at the end of autumn. Otherwise, why would so many Magic Organizations from all over the world come to the Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain? It's not like the Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain will disappear in spring. It's not just because of the legend of the Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain," said Ling Ling.
"I see, that means these beasts are similar to us. They are here to look for treasure in the glaciers," said Mofan.
"Mm, but it's strange, why do they insist on coming down the mountain together, especially this lake … they are clearly different species, and strictly speaking, they are competing with one another. Their behavior is just like what we are doing now," said Ling Ling.
"What we are doing now?" Mofan was confused by Ling Ling's words.
"Our group is competing with the other groups too, but they have all gathered together because of this lake. The same goes for the different groups of beasts. Even though they are going down the mountain, and we are going up the mountain, we still have to pass through this lake in the end, "said Ling Ling.
Everyone immediately came to a realization after hearing Ling Ling's words.
"So you're saying that these beasts aren't necessarily the reason why so many powerful groups of Magicians are coming up the mountain?" asked Jiang Shaoxu.
Lingling did not reply. She only stared at the frozen lake with her intelligent eyes.
The lake was still calm. Strangely enough, the seemingly thin ice surface of the lake did not show any signs of cracking after being trampled by so many Demonic Beasts. About seventy to eighty Demonic Beasts had already reached the center of the lake, and their speed did not slow down at all. Instead, they seemed to be in a state of panic.
"SCREECH!!!"
High up in the sky, a cry suddenly rang out. No matter how loud the beast horde was, the sharp cry that came from the sky was still very clear.
"It's the light coming from the glass … holy crap, it's an eagle!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, pointing at the object emitting a metallic glow.
At some point, the metallic light changed from a hovering posture to a dive. It was like a small star that had crashed into the surface of the ground, falling into the holy, ice-blue lake of the Heavenly Mountain. The surface of the ice could even reflect its figure that was as fast as a flash of light!
"Whoosh!"
The Frosty Ancient Eagle suddenly spread its wings when it was less than five meters away from the surface of the lake. It came to an incredible stop in the air. The Magicians on the other side of the lake were astounded by the strength of its wings!
The Frosty Ancient Eagle was not showing off its flying skills. It had come to a sudden stop right in front of a Steel Spike Bull. The Steel Spike Bull finally saw the Frosty Ancient Eagle, but it was too late when it tried to stop.
Crack! Crack!
The Frosty Ancient Eagle's sharp claws dug into the Steel Spike Bull's bones. The Frosty Ancient Eagle immediately grabbed the moving beast and flapped its wings a few more times, dragging the Steel Spike Bull, which was several times its weight, into the sky with ease.
The Frosty Ancient Eagle did not feel heavy at all. It was as easy as grabbing a little chick. The Steel Spike Bull was lifted a few dozen meters into the air. It continued to fly toward the glaciers in the distance.
The Mailong Private Military Group had yet to recover from the shocking sight when the light dots circling in the sky dove down from the sky. Their targets were the beasts that were running for their lives!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, the Frosty Ancient Eagles spread their wings at the right height above the lake. They hovered in the air and bloomed on the horizon above the lake.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
One by one, the Demonic Beasts' bones were pierced by the eagle's claws, and they were violently dragged into the air from the lake surface. There was nowhere to hide!
The scene was comparable to an assembly line in a factory. The eagles were the precise mechanical claws, while the demon beasts were the objects being transported by a conveyor belt. The complicated process of capturing the demon beasts seemed to be in perfect order, yet the Magicians on the other side of the lake were utterly shocked. Their hairs stood on end as they watched the scene!
"So … so that's why you didn't cross the lake …" Kuma's face was no longer confused.
No one would think they could cross the lake in one piece after witnessing the scene. There were so many demon creatures, yet the Frosty Ancient Eagles in the sky did not let many of them escape!
The demon creatures were left with no choice. They had no chance of surviving for more than three days if they stayed on the glacier. They were going to be frozen into ice statues. The lake was their only chance of survival, but the Grim Reaper in the sky was not going to let them off easily.
Since they had entered the real Living Spirit Sky Mountain, there was no way they could leave alive!
…
"It's … it's so scary!" Nan Jue's voice was trembling.
"Most importantly, the Frosty Ancient Eagles are supposed to hunt the demon creatures when they enter the glacier in the autumn, but they aren't. The Frosty Ancient Eagles are only guarding the sky above the lake at the end of autumn. The demon creatures are searching for the treasure of the Mountain of Life and delivering it to the Frosty Ancient Eagles, "Ling Ling said.
Hearing Lingling's analysis and description, coupled with the shocking scene of a group hunting in front of them, a coldness that was even colder than ice seeped into everyone's hearts!!
"Which means, if we don't find a way out after we enter the glacier, the demon creatures will still hunt us down from the sky," Mo Fan said.
"The problem is, are we going to be attacked by them too if we go up the mountain?" Zhao Manyan said.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would the Mages gather here? Don't you realize it? The demon creatures of different species are only traveling together because they know the Frosty Ancient Eagles are waiting for them. If they go down together, some of them might be lucky enough to escape. "
"It's the same. The organizations are gathering at the lake and waiting for other groups to arrive. When they have gathered enough people, they will make their way to the lake and leave it to fate!" Jiang Shaoxu said.
The people of the Mailong Private Military Group were stirred not long after Jiang Shaoxu finished his sentence.
