The Brevis Ice Plain Bison is one of the most ferocious wild animals on the ice sheet.
They are usually gentle, but once provoked, they can become extremely ferocious.
The herd of thousands of bison is arguably the most formidable native force on Brevis.
They would not be afraid even if faced with a tank and armored vehicle company.
This is far more terrifying than the 10,000 Orks cavalry we just witnessed.
"Damn it!" Dominic's expression changed too. "Quick! Get behind the Baneblade Tank!"
Everyone immediately took cover behind the Baneblade Tank.
A few seconds later, the cattle passed in front of the Baneblade Tank.
That was practically a moving steel wall.
The massive hooves pounded the ground, producing a deafening roar.
The icy wind and snow, mixed with mud and gravel, lashed against everyone's Power Armour, making a crackling sound.
The Baneblade Tank, weighing over 700 tons, was slightly shaken by the passing herd of cattle.
"What should we do, sir!" the guard captain shouted.
"If we charge now, these damn bison will trample us into mincemeat!"
"Don't panic!" Dominic said calmly.
"Bison have no formation, and no intelligence."
"As long as we stay calm, follow the direction the cattle are moving, and weave in and out flexibly, we'll definitely get through!"
He jumped onto the top of the Baneblade Tank and observed the movement of the cattle.
"Everyone, follow me! Be careful to dodge!"
Dominic was the first to jump off the tank, riding his six-legged beast towards the gap in the cattle herd.
The guards and Ralfa followed closely behind.
They moved like a group of agile cowboys, weaving among the behemoths.
Dodging the rampaging bison, they relied on their superb riding skills to avoid deadly trampling time and time again.
A bison suddenly charged at a guard, Ralfa reacted quickly, swinging his Power Sword and severing one of the bison's horns.
The bison, in pain, howled and turned to the other side.
This journey through time lasted a full forty minutes.
When the last person broke free of the herd, everyone collapsed onto the snow, exhausted and panting heavily.
Although no one was injured, everyone's Power Armour was covered in scratches and dents.
"Damn it..." Dominic gasped for breath and cursed.
"Today is really weird! First it was Orks, then bison!"
Ralfa stood to one side, his gray eyes gazing at the distant snowstorm.
She could feel that the faint sense of being watched had disappeared.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
It was no coincidence that both Orks and bison blocked their way.
The goal was to buy them time.
Who is it?
The face of Kerry von flashed through Ralfa's mind.
Was it him?
Why did he do that?
Could it be... that some unspeakable secret is truly hidden in Twin Peaks Mountain?
Is the bond between Kerry Von and the Dragon of Frost real?
It was late at night when Dominic's hunting party finally arrived at Twin Peaks Mountain.
The heavy snow finally stopped a bit.
The bright moonlight shone on the two towering peaks, reflecting a cold light.
Twin Peaks Mountain looks no different from other snow-capped peaks.
Steep rock walls, thick snow, and eerily quiet.
"Is this Twin Peaks Mountain?" Dominic frowned, looking around.
"It doesn't look like anything special. Would Dragon of Frost live in a place like this?"
"Sir, there's a cave over there!" a guard shouted, pointing to a huge cave entrance at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone headed towards the cave entrance.
The cave entrance is very large, about ten meters high and fifteen meters wide.
It was pitch black inside, and the bottom was nowhere in sight.
A chilling aura wafted from the cave entrance, carrying a faint, strange, fishy smell.
Ralfa's expression instantly turned serious.
Although she didn't detect any residual Psychic Power, her intuition told her that something extraordinary must have been inside.
"Something has been inside," Ralfa said in sign language.
"Something?" Dominic's eyes lit up. "Could it be Dragon of Frost?"
[However, it seems there's only an empty nest left now.] Ralfa didn't sense any living creatures.
"That will leave a trace, let's go!" Dominic pulled out his Power Axe and was about to walk inside.
"Sir, be careful!" The captain of the guards quickly stopped him.
"It's too dangerous inside. Let's send two people in to scout ahead!"
"No need," Dominic waved his hand.
" Ralfa said there's nothing left inside, so what danger could there be?"
"But..."
"No buts," Dominic interrupted him. "I trust Ms. Ralfa's judgment."
After saying that, he ordered the guard captain to take a group of men to stay outside the cave entrance and wait.
He and Ralfa led the remaining guards into the cave.
The cave was larger than I had imagined.
The cave walls were covered with a thick layer of ice, which reflected a crystalline light under the beam of a flashlight.
The further you go in, the stronger the strange, fishy smell becomes.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the end of the cave, and everything seemed normal.
It looks no different from caves in other places.
"There's nothing here," Dominic said disappointedly. "Could it be that the legend of the Dragon of Frost is false?"
Ralfa didn't speak, but her furrowed brows showed that she was also puzzled.
A strong intuition told her that something must have existed here, but nothing had been found yet.
The group searched several more times, but still found nothing.
Apart from the strange, fishy smell, everything in the cave seemed normal.
Just as Dominic was about to leave in disappointment, a guard discovered a place.
It was a rock wall in a corner, looking completely unremarkable.
But after tapping it with his hand, he discovered that the texture was different from other places.
"Something's not right here, sir. This rock face is much thinner than the others."
Dominic also came over and tapped the rock wall with his fist.
"Knock knock knock."
Sure enough, a hollow sound came through.
"It's empty in the back!" Dominic's eyes lit up. "Looks like the secret is in there!"
Everyone wondered if there was any danger inside, but Dominic noticed Ralfa's hesitant expression.
They immediately realized that something was indeed hidden behind it.
He pulled a Frag Grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, and threw it.
"Step back!"
The group quickly retreated.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the grenade exploded, sending rubble and ice flying everywhere.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a huge hole appeared in the rock wall.
An even stronger, fishy smell wafted out of the cave entrance.
Behind the entrance lies an incredibly vast underground cavern.
Dominic and Ralfa exchanged a glance, nodded, and decided to go down.
They gripped their weapons tightly and cautiously went inside.
