Golden-Eyed Demonic Sheep

"Keep pulling!"

Xia Chuan and the other six pulled the Frost Beast away, and Xia Hong naturally freed himself from the wall. However, he didn't turn to escape. Instead, he told Xia Chuan and the others to keep pulling hard. He took the second Stone Axe he had just received, bent over, and swung it upwards diagonally with all his might.

The Frost Beast's six horns on its head were too large and too hard to cut.

The white mane covering its body, each strand half a meter long, almost covered its entire body. During the brief contact, Xia Hong had already felt the hardness of the mane.

Undoubtedly, this Frost Beast's defense was even more terrifying than Snow Mane's.

It was impossible to break through its body normally.

The jaw was the only vulnerable spot Xia Hong could think of.

"My strength is already 9,700 jin. With the Great Battle Fist Style and a weapon, I can unleash over 10,000 jin of power. I don't believe your bones are that hard!"

The Stone Axe Xia Hong swung upwards diagonally brought with it a fierce wind, which rapidly rubbed against the cold air seeping in from outside the cave, even creating a spark in the air.

The power of this axe strike was unimaginably fierce.

Perhaps sensing the threat, the sheep-shaped Frost Beast's struggles became even more frantic. The seven people holding the rope were immediately pulled side to side.

Xu Ning, the last to break through among the seven, was even pulled to the ground. However, he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go, bracing his legs against a protruding rock on the ground for leverage. His skin was already bleeding profusely from the friction.

Bang...

The seven people who desperately held onto the rope ultimately bought Xia Hong the chance for this axe strike. The Stone Axe hit the jaw, emitting a loud sound of stone and bone grinding against each other, and the air itself seemed to vibrate.

However, Xia Hong, who had delivered the blow, looked astonished.

Not only did the Stone Axe fail to break through the beast's defense, but it was directly shattered by its jawbone, just like the axe that had struck its horns earlier.

The jaw of this beast was as hard as its horns.

Roar...

Although the Stone Axe was shattered, the Frost Beast was clearly in excruciating pain from the blow. It threw its head back and roared, unleashing a power far exceeding its previous struggles. In an instant, it snapped all the ropes, sending the seven people nearby tumbling.

What's more, after breaking free from the ropes, the Frost Beast's first target wasn't Xia Hong, who had just attacked it with the Stone Axe, but Xu Ning on the other side.

Among the seven who had been pulling, Xu Ning was positioned at the head of the rope. When the rope broke, he was dragged to the Frost Beast's flank, closest to it.

"Xu Ning, get out of the way!"

Xia Hong rushed in front of the Frost Beast, shielding Xu Ning.

This time, he couldn't avoid a direct confrontation.

Xia Hong gritted his teeth, braced his feet, and at the right moment, caught the Frost Beast's charging horn.

Xia Hong's intention was to withstand the Frost Beast's charge. Even if he couldn't, he could at least save Xu Ning, and he would simply retreat or sustain some injuries.

However, he had underestimated the situation.

The charging force of the enraged Frost Beast was on a completely different level than before.

Bang...

This charge not only sent him flying backward, crashing into the cave wall directly above, but it also nearly severed his fingers at the base.

"Don't touch its horns, you'll get cut!"

Xia Hong fell from the cave wall and looked at the cuts on his hands. He didn't have time to tend to the bleeding, so he merely wiped his hands and immediately looked up to warn everyone.

Unfortunately, his warning came too late. After sending him flying, the Frost Beast immediately charged towards the group.

Perhaps its ferocious posture while pulling the rope had made an impression, as the Frost Beast's target remained Xu Ning.

Xu Ning tried to escape behind the Frost Beast, but he was too slow. Before he could take two steps, the Frost Beast's sharp horn had already dug into his waist.

If he were impaled, he would surely die.

Xia Hong had already gotten to his feet and was quickly approaching the Frost Beast, but he was too far away to be of much help. The other six people also tried to stop the Frost Beast, but their strength was too weak, and they were repelled before they could even get close.

His own fate seemed sealed.

Sensing the danger at his waist, cold sweat dripped down Xu Ning's forehead. He turned his head and saw the half-meter-long mane on the Frost Beast. Gritting his teeth, he twisted his body and leaped, grabbing onto the mane. He soared into the air and, with a flip, landed on the Frost Beast's back.

Squelch...

Of course, it wasn't that smooth. Although he dodged the horn with his waist, his shoulder was still pierced by the sharp horn. If it weren't for his intense will to survive, which made Xu Ning yank the wound free from the horn, the Frost Beast could have easily torn him in half with a casual flick.

Perhaps the wound piercing his shoulder made Xu Ning's ferocity flare up. Sitting on the Frost Beast's back, he grabbed the Stone Axe and hacked fiercely at the beast's back.

Just as Xia Hong had predicted, the Frost Beast's defense was far more terrifying than Snow Mane's. Xu Ning chopped more than ten times, only managing to cut off some of the mane. The skin beneath the mane remained completely unharmed.

Even so, Xu Ning didn't stop swinging his axe. The blood flowing from his shoulder wound had already stained half his body. He was relying solely on sheer grit, fearing that if he stopped, he wouldn't be able to move again.

Roar...

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the Frost Beast let out a piercing scream.

Xu Ning, who was sitting on its back, was stunned. The Frost Beast hadn't reacted much to his prolonged chopping earlier, so why was it suddenly screaming like this?

Xu Ning reacted quickly, stopping his attack and raising his axe to look at the spot he had been chopping.

Although much of the Frost Beast's back mane had been cut away, it still covered a large area due to its length. Xu Ning pushed aside the mane with his axe at the spot he had been chopping and was immediately taken aback.

Beneath the mane lay an eye the size of a palm. In the center of the eye was a pure golden pupil, gazing at him emotionlessly and unblinkingly.

"This is its weak spot!"

Without observing the eye too closely, Xu Ning only saw a mark from an axe strike near it and immediately realized this eye was the Frost Beast's weak point.

"It has a golden eye on its back, that must be the weak spot!"

Xu Ning shouted to alert everyone, then with a ferocious expression, he raised his Stone Axe and brought it down suddenly towards the golden eye.

"Don't be reckless, Xu Ning!"

Xia Hong, who was grappling with the Frost Beast, realized what Xu Ning was about to do and immediately shouted a warning, but it was too late.

The Snow Mane's weak spot was its long tongue in its mouth, yet its most dangerous feature was also that same tongue; the Frost Wolf's weak spot was its small size, but precisely because of its small size, its speed was astonishing.

No creature evolved a weak spot for no reason.

A weak spot often meant greater danger.

Xu Ning, thinking he was about to succeed, had his pupils dilate. His axe was just about to strike the fist-sized golden pupil.

But at that very moment, the golden pupil suddenly erupted with a blinding, dazzling light. Xu Ning's eyes, which had been staring intently, were instantly forced partially shut by the glare.

Still unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity, Xu Ning closed his left eye, keeping only his right eye focused. The Stone Axe aimed at the pupil did not stop.

Squelch...
