Chapter 212: Chapter 141 Intermediate Thunder Kui, Second Reshaping Skin【Three in One】
Crack......
Deep in Redwood Ridge, an Intermediate Snow Mane with Iron Arrows piercing its eyes was frantically fleeing northward. It was blind and could only crash around based on instinct.
The Snow Mane’s right hind leg was dragging a piece of an animal trap, the wound already exposing flesh and oozing bright red blood.
Due to the injury on its leg, its speed was far below normal. However, its massive body and strong survival instincts allowed it to unleash a tremendous force.
Within less than a hundred meters, it had already knocked several giant trees askew.
"Zhao Long, shoot from afar, Xia Chuan, release lines to restrain it. Yuan Cheng and Yue Feng, lay traps ahead, Luo Yuan, and everyone else, pull the rope to control the direction of this beast’s escape!"
As Xia Hong’s voice echoed from behind, several White Threads suddenly attacked from one side of the Snow Mane’s body. Two figures sped up, running tens of meters ahead of the Snow Mane from both sides, quickly throwing four more animal traps to the ground, each end tied with a rope.
From the rear, three successive waves of dozens of arrows were shot, all accurately hitting the Snow Mane’s abdomen and the spot where its hind leg was dragging the trap.
When the arrows struck its abdomen, the wounds were not deep enough to cause a reaction from the Snow Mane.
But when the injured leg was hit, it faltered a bit. Each arrow elicited a muffled grunt, and its escape slowed noticeably, obviously suffering from aggravated wounds.
As its movements slowed, a group of eight people caught up from behind, each clutching a rope. The rope’s end was tied to the animal trap dragging behind the Snow Mane’s hind leg.
"Almost there, pull!"
Another fierce shout from Xia Hong spurred Luo Yuan and the eight others to grit their teeth, find the nearest large tree, wind the rope around it several times, then brace themselves behind it, gripping the rope tightly.
Luo Yuan’s group halted, but the Snow Mane did not. The rope connected to the animal trap quickly went taut in the air.
Snap...
The rope snapped taut with a loud whip-crack, causing the Snow Mane, though not stopping entirely, to stagger sharply with its right leg, veering slightly to the left.
Crack...
It was this slight veer that caused the Snow Mane’s left foreleg to step directly onto one of the four animal traps set by Yue Feng and Yuan Cheng earlier.
The half-meter wide trap snapped shut, crushing the bones in the Snow Mane’s left foreleg with a loud crack.
"Roar..."
Pain drove the Snow Mane into even more of a frenzy, the force from its body greater than before.
Crack...
Even though Luo Yuan and the eight others were exerting their full strength pulling the rope, they couldn’t hold the completely frenzied Snow Mane. Within two breaths, it overwhelmed them, leading to a headlong tumble, breaking the rope and even the ten-meter diameter tree.
If not for their quick reflexes to release the rope in time, they might have been dragged dozens of meters by the Snow Mane, risking severe injury from colliding with another giant tree.
Splurt...
Both the Snow Mane’s left foreleg and right hind leg were caught in animal traps, and the surging power unleashed by its survival instincts only lasted briefly. After running another hundred meters north, its speed visibly slowed.
At the same time, Xia Hong, who had been following along the tree line, had run ahead of the Snow Mane. Seeing the timing was right, he finally made his move!
Bang...
Xia Hong raised his arms high above his head, the Double-edged Giant Axe dangling behind him, as he leapt twenty meters from the tree, swinging his arms mightily. The giant axe arced through the air in a semicircle, cleaving abruptly into the Snow Mane’s head just as it reached the base of the tree.
The axe blade split through the skull, and although the expected sound should have been a crack, what actually rang out was a loud bang.
It was like a thunderclap, resounding across two to three hundred meters around.
Xia Hong’s basic strength had already reached over thirty-two thousand pounds, with the punching technique adding twenty percent more force, plus the acceleration from the free fall.
The force from this axe swing exceeded forty thousand pounds.
Like tearing through decayed wood, the axe split open the Snow Mane’s skull, embedding the entire 75-centimeter radius fan blade into its head, leaving only one side exposed.
Boom... freewёbnoνel.com
The Snow Mane’s head hit the ground with a boom, the immense power creating a terrifying potential energy that generated a circular shockwave, sending the snow within ten meters flying high into the air.
"Roar..."
Even with its skull nearly cleaved in two, the Snow Mane’s ferocity hadn’t completely faded, roaring hoarsely while eyeing Xia Hong with bloodshot pupils, its pupils suddenly constricted.
"Everyone gather here, quickly!"
Seeing this, Xia Hong urgently shouted towards the others.
Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the group, including the Zhao Long trio shooting arrows from afar, moved swiftly towards the Snow Mane upon hearing the call.
Within less than three breaths, all fourteen were gathered around the Snow Mane, and they even crawled under it; Xia Hong, who first warned them, was already positioned under the Snow Mane’s chin.
Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...
The Snow Mane’s back was suddenly bristling with spikes, as they shot out indiscriminately in all directions, the power evident from the dozen trees around heavily pierced and riddled with holes.
