In the whirling cold wind, like an invisible chain, it yanked straight towards the group of monsters below.
Silence abruptly broke.
The massive shadows within the vine thickets began to stir restlessly.
The Snow River Mad Bulls slowly lifted their heads, their eyes glowing with a blood-red light, and their skin trembling slightly, like moving walls of steel.
"Huff huff—!"
The lead mad bull scraped the ground fiercely, letting out a deep grunt, and then.
"Moo!!!"
The valley echoed with roars that tore through the air, several giant beasts sprang up, their mighty horns rising like war halberds, charging straight for the cliff top!
The thunderous sound of hooves resounded through the forest, as if dozens of tanks were starting up at once, the ground shook violently.
"Step one complete, everyone act as planned." Louis coldly instructed.
The herd of mad bulls roared up the steep slope, snow splashed, stones rolled.
"Crack!!"
The heavy hoof of the first mad bull suddenly stepped down, and the Deer Bone Hook Rope hidden under the snow tightened abruptly, the hook claws fiercely digging into its pillar-thick hind leg!
The giant beast instantly lost its balance, its fifteen-ton body "boomed" as it rolled down the slope, sparking a deafening avalanche!
Following closely, the second and third bulls also fell into the trap, their legs ensnared by the hooks, struggling violently, roaring continuously!
"Do it!!" Louis shouted with fury.
The knights lying in ambush on both sides immediately acted, the "Armor-Piercing Flame Spears" arced through the air, fiercely piercing into the thick hide of the mad bulls!
In an instant, the Demon Marrow within the magic crystals activated!
"Boom!!"
A muffled explosion as blistering flames and high-pressure shock waves erupted, firelight illuminating the entire snowfield!
"Bang!! Bang!!"
Several successive Blast Flame Spears hit their targets, the chest and neck sides of the mad bulls were instantly scorched, forming blackened cracks, the air filled with the scent of burning char.
If these were ordinary magical beasts, they would have long since been reduced to ashes in this hellfire.
However, these were not ordinary magical beasts, they were Snow River Mad Bulls.
Their skin, as thick as rock, only slightly curled into a few charred wisps, the massive bodies almost unmoving.
The only reaction was an even more frenzied roar!
"Moo!!!"
A giant bull shook its head violently, blood gushing from the wounds cut by the hooks, yet it still charged forward like a mad beast.
The other bulls trembled all over, magic energy rolling beneath their skin, their eyes flashing with fierce blood-red light!
Weir gasped, muttering, "What... What are these monsters made of? Even the Blast Flame Spears are useless?"
Standing on high ground, Louis's gaze was cold as a blade, yet a grim curve formed at the corner of his mouth: "Indeed, their defense is nearly impenetrable. But our true goal isn't to kill them like this."
His eyes were locked onto the herd of enraged mad bulls, the light in his eyes was sharp to the extreme.
"It's to force them into the trap."
The knights on either side knew very well that every step of this hunt was a calculated death trap.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
The Armor-Piercing Flame Spears were fired continuously, explosions followed one after another, and flames flickered on and off in the snowy night.
With blazing heatwaves and splintered ice shards flying, they struck fiercely on the heads and spines of the mad bulls, blasting out jet black cracks.
Someone else threw short spears and stones, hitting bull eyes and nostrils with precision, completely enraging these giant beasts to the extreme.
Ahead, a few knights suddenly appeared, retreating swiftly while waving a giant red cloth high in the wind and snow.
It was like the banner of death, luring these out-of-control creatures into charging towards the death trap!
"Roar!!"
The Snow River Mad Bulls had utterly lost their senses, their fifteen-ton massive bodies cracked the ground beneath every step!
Rage and intense pain intertwined in their nerves into a terrifying impulse, causing them to burst with suffocating charging power, the entire valley trembled, as if a beastly flood was raging!
In their eyes, there was no longer fear, only that fluttering red cloth in the wind!
It must be torn to shreds!
So they accelerated continuously, faster! Faster!
Louis stood on the high ground, gazing at the battlefield that was about to burst, and smiled: "Continue!! Let them run to their deaths!!"
Finally, the herd of frenzied giant beasts roared as they charged towards the exit at the cliff's bottom!
"Pull!!"
Dozens of knights who had been lying in ambush for a long time shouted in unison and suddenly yanked on the chains that had been laid out!
"Rise!!"
In an instant, red fighting energy exploded from their entire bodies like flames, crazily pouring into the cold iron chains along their arms!
Dozens of powerful knights' eyes turned blood red, their muscles bulging, and the snow under their feet instantly evaporated into a white mist by the scorching fighting energy, accompanied by a low roar that sent chills down the spine.
"Crack, crack!!"
The cold iron chain net on both sides of the cliff walls suddenly tightened, and the pulleys embedded in the rock walls began to spin rapidly, the sound of metal clashing reverberating!
The chains, thick as giant pythons, burst out with terrifying power under the blessing of fighting energy, spreading out into a large net.
"Bang!!"
The first mad bull slammed into it fiercely, the massive impact causing the entire net array to tremble violently, the cliff walls shattering as a rain of rubble fell like an avalanche!
Yet the chain net forged from cold iron merely quivered slightly and remained unbroken!
The second, the third...
More wild bulls howled as they charged, these massive creatures weighing dozens of tons piling up into the net array, emitting horrifying twisted roars!
They struggled and roared, frantically shaking their bodies, trying to crush the obstacle in front of them.
But the chain net was tightly locked into the clasps on both sides, with ground anchors buried deep into the rock like claws hooked into hell, giving these beasts no chance to escape!
Blood, snowflakes, and roars intertwined, creating a scene as shocking as the gates of hell opening.
The herd of trapped Snow River Mad Bulls fell into complete madness!
Yet that cold iron chain net, like the hand of death, sealed every inch of space tightly.
A wild bull roared, lifting its hoof to kick fiercely, only to heavily kick the side of its companion, the immense force tearing flesh and spraying a mist of blood.
Another struggling bull suddenly swung its horns, piercing through its companion's eye, blood splattering, the roars filled with heart-wrenching pain.
The scene spiraled completely out of control, as these massive beasts of over ten tons slammed into, crushed, and trampled each other, tearing their companions into mangled remains amidst their struggle.
The once terrifying herd of beasts was ironically consumed by their own brutality, falling into a blood-drenched hellish vortex!
Louis stood amidst the wind and snow, his eyes coldly fixed on this slaughtering feast.
"The net's closing is complete." His gaze swept over those creatures now trapped like fish in a barrel, and he said coldly, "Begin the harvest."
Upon hearing Louis's command, the knights tensed their muscles sharply.
"Oh!!"
A deep growl echoed through Snow Valley, and fighting energy ignited instantly, the long spears in their hands shining with a cold light.
They charged in unison, like a pack of death reapers ready to plunge into a group of prey, into that bloody purgatory.
The first row of knights raised their spears high, fiercely stabbing towards the foremost mad bull!
"Puff!!"
The spear tips tore through the thick hide, deeply pierced into the muscle, bringing out a burst of hot blood.
The mad bull howled, its neck arching high, its giant hoofs stomping desperately in the snow, trying to break free, but could only make the chains moan in anguish.
"Continue!!"
The second row, the third row of spears kept thrusting in!
The blades twisted, shredding muscles, blood spraying like a red fountain.
"Moo!!"
The mad bulls struggled frantically within the net, pressing against and trampling one another, their roars overlapping in utter chaos.
But what awaited them was just the next deadly spear's blade, leaving them nowhere to escape, utterly unable to resist.
Fighting energy poured through the cold iron into their bodies, tearing apart their meridians, paralyzing their nerves, each one collapsing heavily.
Half an hour later, the last wail disappeared into the wind.
Only cold corpses remained piled like a mountain inside the net on the snowy ground, alongside the knights' labored breathing.
