Chapter 186: Chapter 134 Difficult Hunt [Warm Sun Tycoon Extra 3/10]_4
Although Xia Chuan and the others were also pursuing closely from behind, their speed was not even comparable to Xia Hong, let alone Snow Mane, so they couldn’t catch up at all.
Whoosh...
Xia Hong turned around and shot an arrow again, then quickly turned his head to continue escaping, spotting a large tree over ten meters thick in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he wore a determined look on his face.
Swish...
Upon reaching the large tree, Xia Hong sharply turned his head to avoid a long tongue and pushed the tree trunk with his hand as his body veered westward. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The furious Snow Mane turned with him, jerked its head, and its straight tongue sliced through the air like a Longsword, slashing horizontally toward him.
Scratch...
Xia Hong moved swiftly, leaping across two large trees after turning, and the long tongue of Snow Mane chopped down those two trees in succession, relentlessly pursuing him.
Suddenly, just after turning westward, Xia Hong changed direction again.
This time, however, he turned northward.
"Spread out, don’t chase anymore, I’ll lure it back to the trench side!"
With a loud shout, Xia Hong’s words were understood immediately by Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the other fifteen people who had just arrived from behind. They all quickly retreated and dispersed.
The two consecutive turns actually formed a complete reversal.
"Roar..."
During the first turn, Snow Mane didn’t react much.
But the second turn brought them almost brushing against Snow Mane’s flank as they ran back.
Xia Hong’s teasing behavior made the already enraged Snow Mane even more agitated.
It twisted to watch Xia Hong, its crimson pupils suddenly constricting, and its extended tongue, twisting in mid-air like a white serpent, lunged instantly at the turning Xia Hong.
From Snow Mane’s flank, Xia Hong turned his head to see the softening, twisting tongue and showed no surprise on his face.
The tongue of a Low-level Snowman could bend; there’s no need to mention an Intermediate one.
He lowered his head, dodging the tongue, stood up, drew his bow, and shot another arrow at Snow Mane’s not yet retracted tongue. After firing, he immediately stood up and continued his northern escape.
The entire set of movements flowed seamlessly, like running water.
Swish...
The arrow sliced through Snow Mane’s tongue, this time making a distinct sound of tearing flesh instead of the usual whoosh.
Fleeing Xia Hong’s expression stiffened, though he dared not stop his feet; he seized a gap and suddenly turned back to glance.
A real arrow scar appeared on Snow Mane’s tongue.
So that’s it!
I was wondering, when it first attacked with its tongue, it always came straight, continuously chasing me in one direction.
An Intermediate Snowman’s tongue, bending and softening, is at its most fragile.
"When you see its tongue bending and softening, continue shooting, it works!"
With this information, Xia Hong informed the others, immediately changing strategy, no longer fleeing straightforwardly but weaving through the trees in the forest.
Sure enough, the furious Snow Mane had lost its sanity, knocking down several large trees along the way but still not catching up. It instantly softened its tongue, twisting to track.
Puff...
The others, prompted by Xia Hong, seized the moment of Snow Mane’s softening tongue and pierced through its tongue root with over a dozen Iron Arrows instantly.
Roar...
The pained Snow Mane screamed continuously, yet its momentum to catch up with Xia Hong did not relent a bit. This time, however, it dared not soften its tongue again, keeping it taut as before, wildly slashing at the front-running Xia Hong.
The trees along the path were chopped down by the long tongue; the ground’s snow was sent flying by Snow Mane’s terrifying impact.
The places Xia Hong fought with it were almost all covered with snow fog; the ground couldn’t be found a single clean piece.
Clank...
"Zzz...
A loud metallic collision sound echoed first.
Followed by Snow Mane thudding heavily into the snow.
Despite fleeing in front, Xia Hong heard the sound, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
He hesitated only for a moment before stopping his escape and swiftly turning around.
He leaped into the spot where Snow Mane had just fallen.
"It fell into the pit, tighten the rope of that animal trap on the south side, everyone pull hard, don’t let it get up!"
Xia Hong shouted loudly, and Xia Chuan and the others responded immediately, putting down their Iron Core Bows and all rushing to the south side of the pit, quickly finding the rope on the ground.
As it turned out, Snow Mane, unconsciously led by Xia Hong while pursuing northward, reached the natural trench again from earlier, not only stepping on the southern animal trap but also toppled into the pitheadfirst.
"Roar... Roar..."
With its body tumbling once, Snow Mane’s panic was audible from its cries.
Unfortunately, such a heaven-sent opportunity would not be missed by either Xia Hong or the others.
The first to jump into the pit, Xia Hong directly stomped on Snow Mane’s head, grabbed the handle of the Yi Blade embedded in its right cheek, and yanked it out.
Puff...
As the Yi Blade was pulled out, crimson blood sprayed fiercely, and Xia Hong, being the first in line, was splattered all over.
The intense burning sensation invaded his mind, but Xia Hong paid no heed, for the pained Snow Mane on the ground had already begun frantically flipping and struggling.
Once a sharp weapon is inserted into the body, as long as it remains still, the wound can endure for a while; but once extracted, the collapse affects not just the wound but also the will.
The Snow Mane on the ground was in that exact state now.
The Yi Blade, a moment ago thrust 1.5 meters into its right cheek, induced unbearable pain, barely suppressed by ferocity and willpower;
But with Xia Hong’s fierce yank, the pain multiplied several times instantly.
