Chapter 688 - 302: The Snow Giant’s Shocking Debut! (3)

The wind and snow swept past, the cold wind howled, an unnamed Snow Giant and this group of Split-tooth Steel Mane beasts stared at each other from dozens of meters away, a heavy atmosphere suddenly gathered in the air.

"Roar!"

As a snowflake fell on the huge fangs of the Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane, it raised its head and roared. Several Split-tooth Steel Mane simultaneously launched a volley of steel bristles, the densely packed sharp bristles whistling through the air towards the Snow Giant.

The Snow Giant stood steadfastly on the snow, its amber eyes flickering with a subtle light, a dazzling pentagram pattern emerged on its forehead, suddenly it let out a low roar, and its fists pounded the ground, raising a massive and solid ice wall abruptly, stretching across in front of itself.

Old Mu showed surprise: "Is this guy of Morning Star Quality?"

Boom boom boom!

As the sharp steel bristles shot out and hit the ice wall, ice shards flew.

But the crystal-clear ice wall remained unshaken, just like the Snow Giant that stood like an indomitable iron tower behind it.

However, the observant Old Mu keenly noticed the Snow Giant’s every move, and after it used its skills, it carefully touched its abdomen.

Recalling Zhao’s insight, Old Mu was pensive: "Is this guy still hungry?"

Thinking about it, three roasted sweet potatoes and two sausages might not qualify as a meal for this big guy.

But this group of Split-tooth Steel Mane did not retreat simply due to the indestructible ice wall. More and more of them launched overwhelming volleys of steel bristles, accompanied by ’ding ding dong’ clashes, and the ice wall gradually showed cracks.

"Roar!"

Seeing this scene, the Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane issued a charge horn, and the Split-tooth Steel Mane behind took the opportunity to launch Rushing Forward, like out-of-control armored war chariots, crashing hard against the ice wall!

Just like most bear-type Pet Beasts mastering [Bear’s Power], pig-type Pet Beasts have their own exclusive skill—Rushing Forward.

They launch a fearless charge with their massive bodies, enough to intimidate weaker-minded Pet Beasts.

With a boom, the ice wall shattered, ice splinters flying, and the beast horde charged forward.

"Quick, help out!"

After observing for a moment, Old Mu, though unaware of the Snow Giant’s origin and background, was very clear at this moment—a truth: this big one was helping defend the village.

He couldn’t just stand by and watch the Snow Giant fight on its own.

With a loud shout, Old Mu summoned his Pet Beast, the Hanhan Pig, and the nearby Beastmaster summoned a Flowing Cloud Sparrow to assist the Snow Giant.

Yet the Snow Giant of Morning Star Quality was clearly not so fragile. With a thunderous roar, it advanced rather than retreated, and as several Split-tooth Steel Manes charged at it, it turned to the side and lowered its shoulder. That shoulder, covered with thick Ice Armor, bore the force of a mountain, smashing into the flank of the leading Split-tooth Steel Mane.

Crack!

A bone-cracking sound echoed painfully, and the Steel Mane wailed as it was knocked flying, crashing into a group of its companions.

But at the same time, Split-tooth Steel Mane from the sides and back seized the gap while the Snow Giant had used its skill, taking the chance to surround it. They weren’t quick to bite through the Snow Giant’s firm Ice Armor but raised their front hooves to launch Earth Step.

Thud thud thud!

The muffled sound of trampling merged into one, and the ground suddenly trembled violently, with shockwaves like invisible heavy hammers repeatedly pounding the ground beneath the Snow Giant.

In the next moment, the Snow Giant staggered, nearly falling.

"Roar!"

The Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane seized this opportune moment, its enormous fangs glinting with cold light lowered, its entire body muscles bulging, launching the fiercest Rushing Forward!

But at that instant, the Hanhan Pig stepped forward, using Rushing Forward to intercept the Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane, blocking a lethal strike for the Snow Giant!

The two pigs collided, both holding their ground, then backing away several steps, panting heavily.

The Snow Giant took the opportunity to stabilize its posture, pulling its right arm back, the muscles beneath the Ice Armor bulging, and its fist instantly condensed ice crystals harder than steel, emitting cold air.

Thud!

Punching out with howling winds, the powerful punch sent a Split-tooth Steel Mane flying several meters back, landing heavily on the ground, eyes shut.

Then,

The enraged Snow Giant surged forward, its palms tense and forceful, violently lifting a Split-tooth Steel Mane over its shoulder and slamming it hard onto the ground.

Another Split-tooth Steel Mane collapsed onto the ground.

The ferocity of these actions instantly terrified the Split-tooth Steel Manes surrounding the Snow Giant. Their hearts trembled at the Snow Giant’s terrifying strength, and they let out feeble roars, gradually retreating.

"Roar..."

The Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane glanced at its fallen clan members, looked at the towering Snow Giant like a majestic snowy mountain, and showed intent to retreat, suddenly signaling for withdrawal.

In the next moment, this group of Split-tooth Steel Manes turned around, collectively retreating, disappearing into the wind and snow in no time.

Even the two fallen Split-tooth Steel Manes seemed to hear the Leader’s retreat signal, struggling to rise and stumbling away.

Old Mu watched these pesky creatures depart, spitting onto the ground, then turned to the towering figure beside him, his voice hoarse: "Thank you truly this time, you came to our village because..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the Snow Giant suddenly slump to one knee on the ground, startiling Old Mu: "Child, why are you kneeling?"

The next moment, the Snow Giant’s head drooped, falling onto the snow.

Old Mu was initially stunned, then quickly approached with his companion, squatted down to examine the Snow Giant closely, discovering its body covered with minor wounds.

Sure enough, although it seemed to knock down a Split-tooth Steel Mane with one punch, it was actually under attack while surrounded.

Even with Morning Star Quality, facing so many Pet Beasts was difficult.

"Moreover...this guy probably isn’t Tier Three strength." Old Mu murmured.

If it were a Tier Three Morning Star Quality Pet Beast, just standing still would scare away this group of Split-tooth Steel Manes.

"Mr. Mu, what should we do now?" his companion’s voice suddenly sounded.

Old Mu’s eyes flickered, speaking without hesitation: "The crisis is temporarily resolved, but the Split-tooth Steel Manes are vengeful, they’re likely to attack again, we must stay vigilant."

"Go fetch some Healing Spray."

"Oh, right." Old Mu suddenly remembered something, adding, "Bring some food as well; this creature’s collapse might not be just due to injuries, but also hunger."

As he finished speaking, the Snow Giant’s large palms trembled slightly.

Once his companion left, Old Mu composed his expression, sighing slightly: "Ah, I hope this group of Split-tooth Steel Manes aren’t too vengeful."

"After all... Advisor Chen hasn’t arrived yet."

As soon as he said this, the sound of dogs barking echoed from high up: "Woof woof woof!"

Old Mu abruptly looked up, then a smile appeared on his face.

This time, Chen Yuan finally wasn’t arriving just at the critical last moment.
