"It's that light!"
"I can't keep my eyes open!"
"Damn it, don't look up. You're going to be blinded!"
The Mages began to panic. Cries of panic rose among them.
Mofan immediately looked at the blinding light when he learned that it was a Ruler-level Frosty Ancient Eagle. To his surprise, the light was as sharp as the sun in the sky, blinding his eyes.
"Damn it, that Ruler-level Eagle is too domineering. We are all going to be blinded if we look up!"
"How are we supposed to know when the Frosty Ancient Eagles are going to attack us … AHHH!" a Hunter Master screamed in agony.
The eagle claw pierced through the Hunter Master's back. The man was lifted into the air before he could feel the pain. The people around him could not react in time. The cries of agony they heard only came from a few dozen meters above their heads!
"Zhao Kang, ask your men to stop the Ruler-level Eagle's Light Extinguishing Eye!" Yassen yelled.
"Why us?" Zhao Kang of the Savage Raptor Hunter Group demanded.
"Then you will take care of the creature ahead!" Yassen snapped.
Zhao Kang looked forward and found that there was nothing but ice in front of him. But in the next second, cracks appeared on the frozen lake. It looked like something was about to break out from the bottom of the lake.
"Peng ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!!"
With a loud bang, a large hole appeared in the frozen lake in front of him. The lake water with some heat splashed into the air, but after coming into contact with the outside air for a few seconds, it condensed into ice beads, and then fell into the frozen lake with a crisp sound.
A white Demon Maggot crawled out from the crater. Its upper body was still under the surface of the lake, but its head was exposed.
Its body looked like a maggot, but its skin was stacked on top of one another. As Yassen and the others approached the center of the lake, the white Demon Maggot opened its esophagus!
The white demon maggot was only the size of an ordinary building, yet its layers of skin could expand like intestines. When its skin expanded to the point where it did not have any wrinkles or flesh on it, its esophagus was already so huge that it had turned into a terrifying curtain of darkness!
Its mouth was pitch-black, deep, and full of sharp fangs. It felt like the white Demon Maggot could swallow the entire lake when it opened its mouth. The Mages were like a bunch of little shrimps being sent into the mouth of a whale!
"We … we'll take care of the creature in the sky!" Zhao Kang of the Savage Raptor Hunter Group said to Yassen after a brief pause.
They were so terrified that their muscles were contracting. Yassen had warned them that there was something below the Heaven Mountain Lake, and that the Frosty Ancient Eagles might end up as its food. However, they did not expect the creature to be a ruler of the Abyss, like the ruler of Hell!
Zhao Manyan cursed while casting a spell to defend himself from the Frosty Ancient Eagles, "How many monsters did the Heavenly Mountain Lake nurture? Does anyone know this thing that's spitting out poisonous saliva!?"
"It's the Tianshan Ancient Worm King. I heard it feeds on the Frosty Ancient Eagles and the Tianshan Demon Tigers, but it's obviously changing its taste. Most demon creatures are more interested in humans," Nan Jue pointed out.
Magicians who practiced magic had a huge amount of magic energy in their bodies, which was equivalent to a magic stone full of energy. Demons with a certain amount of intelligence would treat humans with high cultivation as great nourishment. Therefore, many of the powerful Hunters who traveled outside relied on hunting high level Demons to make a fortune, and many of them also raised high level Demons to become strong.
The white Demon Maggot's appearance was like adding fuel to the fire. The good news was that the Frosty Ancient Eagles were obviously afraid of the creature. They did not dare to keep attacking it.
The white demon leech was not an idiot, either. There was no need for it to let the Frosty Ancient Eagles reap the benefits of the battle. It quickly returned to the lake after exchanging a few blows with Yassen's team.
The creature was interested in humans, but it was not going to let the Frosty Ancient Eagles go, either. It dragged a few mercenaries and a few Frosty Ancient Eagles back to the lake with it …
"Quick, let's go, we can't stay here any longer!" Yassen yelled when he saw the white Demon Maggot leaving.
They would be digging their own graves if they continued to fight the demon creatures of Tianshan Mountain. They were able to stay at the top of the food chain for such a long time. Not only were they terrifyingly strong, they were also as intelligent as humans!
Their target was the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. All they had to do was to cross the lake. They could not care less who was going to die and who was going to survive. Everyone knew the mountain of treasure was going to be filled with corpses!
"The Frosty Ancient Eagles didn't let us get close to the Ruler-level Eagle, but we managed to take care of its Light Extinguishing Eye!" Zhao Kang of the Savage Raptor Hunter Group said.
"That's enough! Those who aren't blind, keep your eyes above us!" Yassen yelled.
The Frosty Ancient Eagles circled in the sky for a while. They could not resist the temptation of the delicious human food when the white Demon Maggot did not show up again.
In their eyes, the humans were like moving ginseng that had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. The Warrior-level Frosty Ancient Eagles could easily strengthen their bodies if they ate an Advanced Mage.
Tianshan Mountain never had a peaceful environment. The food chain was tighter. The weak would only become food to warm their stomachs. There was only one outcome if they did not continue to grow stronger …
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The Frosty Ancient Eagles attacked again. Rays of icy light poured down from the sky. They were so quick that the humans had no time to react. Ordinary defensive barriers were unable to stop the Frosty Ancient Eagles' ferocious attacks. A few hundred Mages suffered the same fate as the horde of demon creatures.
The demon creatures knew they would be charged a toll on their return journey, including their lives, yet they still chose to enter the Glacier Layer in autumn. Humans would die for wealth, just like birds would die for food. They were willing to put on a cruel act when they were faced with the temptation of the Tianshan Mountain's treasure.
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!"
The Mages could not help but look in the direction of the rumbling sound.
They broke out in cold sweat. The demon creatures that were going to descend the mountain had shown up again, as if they knew the Heavenly Lake was in a mess!
These Demonic Beasts had always been hiding on the opposite side of the mountain ridge. Everyone had thought that the large group of Demonic Beasts that had rushed down the mountain were all the Demonic Beasts that had rushed down the mountain. Who would have thought that there were still so many of them hiding?
