They could not afford to rest in the same spot. The smell of blood lingering in the valley might attract more Ruler-level creatures. They had to drag their exhausted bodies forward.
The ground was littered with corpses, and the snow-white world was stained with an eye-catching red. Rows of bloody footprints were left behind.
Terrifying cries echoed in their ears. It was the most despairing feeling on Tianshan Mountain. They did not even dare to close their eyes because of the cold, as they were afraid that they would never wake up again.
They were clearly the victors of the battle, yet they were like livestock trapped in a cage. They were worried that the cage would collapse at any second, and the hunters would swarm them at any second!
The alliance of Mages had lost a lot of ground after the battle. Only a few lucky Mages below the Advanced Level were still alive, and their survival depended on whether they were targeted by the scavengers. Those above the Advanced Level had no guarantee of survival, either. Advanced Mages were fearless in the cities or the territories of demon creatures, but they were in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. Every creature was stronger than an Advanced Mage. They would die for sure if they were alone!
As for the Super Mages, the alliance of Mages had quite a few Super Mages, yet they were still on edge. Both the demon creatures ahead and the Hunters roaming nearby were cunning Ruler-level creatures. These Ruler-level creatures were strong enough to kill Super Mages instantly. They were adept at hunting down their prey. They were slowly pressuring the Mages, causing them to panic and lose their composure.
"It's so cold …"
"Should we use magic?"
The coldness from the glacier had penetrated their bodies slowly. As time gradually passed, everyone's skin and muscles were starting to show signs of frostbite.
His body became stiffer and stiffer. The coldness had reached the point where it felt as if something was stabbing into his bone marrow. No matter how strong a person's willpower was, it would be completely worn down.
"We can't use magic!" Yassen said.
"I can't feel my body anymore. If we don't use magic …" a Hunter Master said.
"If we use our energy, the scavengers will notice that we are weakening. Do you really think they can't tell that our strength is only a thin layer of paper? If we tear it apart, none of us will survive!" Yassen said.
"It's better than freezing to death!"
"Yeah, we really can't feel anything. If we don't use magic to resist the cold …"
"Hang in there! There's still a chance! You'll die for sure if you run out of energy!" Yassen said coldly.
"Why would we care about that now? You asked us to form an alliance and told us where the Tianshan Sacred Lotus is, but you just want us to be cannon fodder for you Super Mages. We're dying one after another along the way, yet you don't even bother using your full strength … we don't want to waste our energy just to keep ourselves warm, but we're going to freeze to death at any second. Why should we risk our lives just to intimidate the wanderers?" Zhuang Qi of the Savage Raptor Hunter Group said.
"That's right! You Super Mages have never treated us as humans … since you're the only ones who will survive in the end, the Tianshan Sacred Lotus will be yours too, "someone immediately responded.
"How could you think that? You were the ones who volunteered to come to the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. We already told you that it's extremely dangerous here, and there's only a slim chance of survival …" Yassen said.
"Since you keep saying we are a team, shouldn't you Super Mages sacrifice some of your energy to maintain the barrier since those with weaker cultivations are about to freeze to death?" Zhuang Qi said.
"Well … how are we supposed to fight the Ruler-level creatures if our energy is depleted?" Yassen said.
"Hehe, do you think we don't know you're conserving your strength? We're all in the same boat. We risked our lives to clear a path for you, but you should step forward now that we can't hold on any longer!"
"That's right, you Super Mages should step forward!"
The leaders of the group could no longer maintain their righteous facade after being questioned by so many people.
It was the truth. The death rate of those with weaker cultivations was significantly higher after they entered the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. They claimed they were working together, but in the end, only the Super Mages were going to survive until the end.
Yassen, Xing Hui, Zhao Kang, and the others were struggling to control the situation.
They could not afford to lose the Advanced Mages. Most of the members of the group were still Advanced Mages. If they left, the wanderers would launch an all-out attack!
It was not like the Super Mages were no match for the wanderers, but they would be severely injured if they fought the wanderers. It was hard to say if they could make it back alive.
Yassen and the others chose to compromise after some time.
The Super Mages had to maintain the barrier for the Advanced Mages to protect them from the cold and icy wind.
"No one is an idiot. There's a limit to being used as cannon fodder," Mofan said.
"We are Super Mages too. Doesn't that mean we have to maintain the barrier for them too? We didn't get any rest along the way. We don't have enough energy, "Zhao Manyan said.
"Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, and Guan Yu are only Advanced Mages. Besides, the Mailong Private Military Group did pave the way for us. It's only right that we protect them with our energy," Ai Jiangtu said.
"I don't have any spells that can cast a barrier. You guys can do whatever you want," Mofan said.
"You f * * king have the most energy!" Zhao Manyan cursed him.
Mofan had so many Elements, and he had been using them alternately during the battle. If anyone was trying to preserve their energy, it was definitely Mofan!
Mu Ningxue was very strong, too, but she had a serious problem: she did not have enough energy!
She only had two Elements, the Ice Element and the Wind Element. Even if she only used Basic and Intermediate Spells throughout the battle, she still would not be able to sustain herself for such a long time.
"(Sigh), that b * * ch Nan Rong might be annoying, but if she could give us a Blessing, we could recover half of our energy in less than a day. We didn't come prepared on Tianshan Mountain. We didn't have a Healer or a Blessing Mage with us …" Zhao Manyan sighed.
After all, the national team did not have every Element.
They did have a few Healing Spells, but they did not have any Blessing Spells. Only Parthenon had the Blessing Spells. No wonder the Parthenon School was comparable to the top Magic Associations!
"Old Zhao, I thought you haven't Awakened your fourth Element yet. Why don't I ask Xinxia to give you a pass so you can try Awakening the Blessing Element?" Mofan suggested as a thought crossed his mind.
