Yassen was also dumbfounded when he saw the demon creatures charging down the mountain.

They had initially planned to use the beast hordes to help thin out the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ numbers before making their way up the mountain. To their surprise, the demon creatures were waiting for the humans to be attacked by the Frosty Ancient Eagles before coming down the mountain!

In the end, the beast hordes had outsmarted the humans. Most importantly, the size of the beast horde was going to cause serious trouble to the group as it was going up the mountain!

“Damn it, those scum played us. Why are the creatures on Tianshan Mountain so clever?” Zhao Manyan had a bad habit of crying out loud whenever he was in danger. His loud voice stood out even with the noise everywhere.

“Someone has to take care of the beast hordes!” Nanyu shouted.

The beast hordes were rushing down the mountain like tanks. They were definitely going to disrupt the group’s formation.

Mages were extremely vulnerable to demon creatures of their strength and numbers. A Commander-level demon creature could often easily kill an Advanced Mage. The Mages had to stay in formations to be effective, especially those in a Hunter Group or a mercenary group.

“Team nine, hold the front!” Lu Xiu suddenly ordered.

“Are you kidding me? Why do we have to be your shields?” Zhao Manyan snapped.

“Do you think the others in the group are able to hold the demon creatures off?” Lu Xiu challenged him in return.

The people of the Mailong Private Military Group were already worn out from fighting the Frosty Ancient Eagles. Many were already regretting their decision to not leave the mountain with the others.

It was true that the mercs had no chance of stopping the beast hordes!

“Let’s move to the front. If they die here, we will also struggle to cross the lake,” Ai Jiangtu agreed.

Ai Jiangtu led his team to the front. He was about to take the lead when Mo Fan stepped forward and said, “Your Space Element is stronger. You should stay at the center of the team to look after everyone. I don’t really care about others, but I can’t accept any casualties among our own. Old Ai, stay here and command the team to guarantee our safety. Mu Ningxue and I will take the lead.”

Ai Jiangtu looked at Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.

No one was stronger than Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue in terms of offensive capabilities. Ai Jiangtu knew that even he was no match for them. He nodded agreement, “Alright, I’ll take care of everyone. Leave it to me!”

“Mm, everyone, please be careful too. The Frosty Ancient Eagles and the demon creatures coming down the mountain aren’t the only trouble. There might be some other unknown creatures in the lake. Be ready to use your defensive equipment. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you,” Mo Fan warned the others behind him.

Mo Fan was worried about the chaotic situation. Even though everyone on the team was strong and capable, they were facing the fiercest level of demon creatures!

“Mo Fan, it’s the Icy Thorn Bulls!” Nanyu warned Mo Fan. She used a special sound to tell Mo Fan the position of the Icy Thorn Bulls.

Mo Fan followed the sound and saw two Icy Thorn Bulls among the demon creatures that were charging down the mountain. It looked like they were wearing armor made of gray thorns of steel, and were around the size of a double-decker bus. Their momentum was insane as they charged ahead at full speed!

“Chaos Order!”

Mo Fan swung his hand and left a strange crack before him. The two Icy Thorn Bulls saw Mo Fan’s magic, but they were planning to knock everything aside with brute force as they were in a rush. They ran straight into the strange crack.

It felt like they had entered a gate Mo Fan had prepared for them. Half a second later, the two Icy Thorn Bulls ran out of the crack, but they were charging at the Steel Spike Bulls nearby instead!

The Icy Thorn Bulls’ momentum was absolutely insane. They knocked a dozen Steel Spike Bulls into the air on both sides, resulting in a chain collision. The rest of the bulls crashed into one another and sent their own kind flying!

“Frosty Ancient Eagles above us, seven of them!” Nanyu called out.

“Leave them to me,” Mo Fan said confidently.

He glanced at a group of Tianshan Howling Bears that were approaching the team. He chuckled when he saw how unstoppable the enraged creatures were, “You must be holding a strong grudge against those creatures in the sky. I’ll give you a hand so you can vent all your anger on them!”

A silver Star Constellation appeared swiftly. Mo Fan cast an Advanced Space Spell in mere seconds.

“Blink!”

An elegant silver Star Constellation appeared under the Tianshan Howling Bears. These enormous creatures were about to smash the tiny humans before them into mincemeat when the magic under their feet transferred them into the sky.

They were around eighty meters above the ground. Seven Frosty Ancient Eagles happened to be diving right at them. They were surprised by the Tianshan Howling Bears suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and quickly triggered their emergency brakes.

The Tianshan Howling Bears were one of the species that was strong enough to fight the Frosty Ancient Eagles. However, they were usually at a disadvantage because they could never reach the Frosty Ancient Eagles in the sky. The Frost Ancient Eagles would take their time and kite the Tianshan Howling Bears to death.

The Tianshan Howling Bears in the air noticed the Frosty Ancient Eagles were flying right at them. They instinctively swung their powerful paws!

Blood and flesh scattered in the air. The Frosty Ancient Eagles did not stand a chance against the formidable paws of the Tianshan Howling Bears, and were torn to pieces.

“Stop the beast hordes, ask your Inverse Hawk Private Military Group to stop the demon creatures.”

“Why do we have to do all the dirty work… Holy crap, why the Hell are bears falling from the sky!?” Zhao Kang cursed.

“How did the bears get up there?”

“Screw it, just keep going!”

“The Ruler-level eagle is on the move…”

“Do you mean the one from before?…”

“F**k me, there are two Ruler-level Frosty Ancient Eagles. Quick, get Yassen to help us!”

Yassen was still focusing on the white demon leech under the lake. The creature was a serious threat to the group. To his dismay, another Ruler-level Frosty Ancient Eagle had appeared. It seemed like the Frosty Ancient Eagles had sent out their main army!
