CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 277: THE TERRIFYING HUNDRED-EYED DEMON SHEEP

On the snowy night, deep within Redwood Ridge was extraordinarily quiet.

A towering tree with a diameter of over twenty meters suddenly shook a few times.

Rustle... rustle...

The icicles on the tree branches fell with a patter. Although the sound wasn’t loud due to the cushion of snow on the ground, it was exceptionally clear in the ever-silent depths of the Snow Forest.

If you looked closely above the tree, you would find a Cold Beast, about two meters long with six angular limbs, lying on the thickest branch, chewing on something unknown.

The Cold Beast’s snow-white fur was sagging lazily and even seemed somewhat transparent, perfectly blending with the icicles hanging from the branches. Its body was so small that one wouldn’t notice it without careful observation.

Rustle... rustle...

The tree shook a few more times. It finally became clear that the tree shook because the Cold Beast moved, obviously eating some plants on the tree. Once it finished in one spot, it moved to another.

The tree alone had a diameter of fifteen meters and stood nearly two hundred meters tall.

It’s hard to imagine that such a massive tree would tremble just because of a tiny Cold Beast’s movement.

But that was the reality!

After the Cold Beast moved to a new spot, it positioned itself comfortably and began feeding again. The faint chewing sound was somewhat eerie in the silent snow-covered night.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Suddenly, three sharp and piercing iron arrows whizzed through the air.

Immediately following were the three sounds of the iron arrows hitting the tree, "thud, thud, thud".

"Roar..."

The Cold Beast feeding on the tree let out an angry roar, transformed into a white light, and flew out from the tree top, heading straight towards another towering tree more than a hundred meters to the left.

Wow!

The diameter of this tree was also more than ten meters, yet in the face of the white light that the Cold Beast transformed into, it was incredibly fragile, breaking in half without even making the sound of cracking wood.

"Spread out, everyone else, shoot arrows, Old Chen, hold it down with me!"

"It’s an Advanced Demon Sheep, just an ordinary Hundred Eyes Level, make it open its eyes first."

As the tree collapsed, at the top of the tree, nine black shadows quickly dispersed.

With two angry shouts from Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan, the other seven quickly understood. After continuing to spread out, they swiftly drew bows and loosed arrows towards the Demon Sheep.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The iron arrows shot by the seven almost all glowed silver. One might mistakenly think these arrows were made of silver, but upon closer inspection, it was due to the numerous forging patterns, at least a hundred, giving it a silver visual impression.

"Besides the Divine Arm Bow in the leader’s hand, the strongest Iron Core Bow that the Artifact Refining Workshop can currently produce has a pull strength of Three-maned. These seven are probably Mu Dong’s treasured utencils. I wonder if they can pierce the Advanced Demon Sheep’s hide."

In one corner of the tree, Xu Ning continuously released three arrows, eyes full of anticipation.

He wasn’t the only one shooting; Luo Yuan, Chen Yingba, and the other six also had a bit of anticipation in their eyes after releasing their arrows.

"They can’t pierce it. The physical strength of an Advanced Demon Sheep is above fifteen manes. Its skin can easily withstand an impact of ten manes, three times stronger than Snow Mane. Your current task is simply to distract it until Old Chen and I make it open its eyes..."

Clang... clang... clang...

As if to confirm Peng Bo’s words, the iron arrows shot by Xu Ning, Luo Yuan, and the others all hit the Demon Sheep precisely but could not penetrate its flesh, all falling away as if they struck an iron wall.

One even hit the Demon Sheep’s left eye, yet it was blocked as it closed its eyes.

Whoosh...

Being blocked was secondary; the Demon Sheep realized that the seven shooting iron arrows posed no threat to it, so its movements instantly became much bolder.

It pushed off a tree with its hind legs, lunged forward, transforming once again into a white light, cutting a snowy white streak through the snowy night, heading straight for the nearest Peng Bo.

Clang...

Peng Bo wasn’t slow to react, first dodging sideways, then slashing diagonally with his Ghost Head Great Saber, attempting to evade the strike by leveraging the Demon Sheep’s collision force.

Unfortunately, he clearly underestimated the Demon Sheep’s power.

Bang!

With the diagonal slash of the saber, Peng Bo’s tiger’s mouth immediately split open, the saber flew free, and his body, like a kite with broken strings, was knocked back nearly a hundred meters.

Crucially, the Demon Sheep was still striking at his waist flank.

Pfff...

The force is twice mine, nearly twenty bristles. How can this be possible!

Peng Bo spat out a mouthful of reverse blood, eyes full of disbelief, but soon realized something, his face changed drastically.

"This is a Demon Sheep about to ascend to Thousand Eye Level, retreat first!"

His warning was clearly a bit late.

Chen Yingyuan, pursuing from another tree behind, held his spear with both hands, descending from the sky, targeting the left eye of the Demon Sheep’s forehead.

Although Chen Yingyuan had heard Peng Bo’s warning, he had already leaped from the tree. It was too late to pull back now.

He could only grit his teeth and continue the thrust.

"Roar!"

The Demon Sheep suddenly shook its head, first knocking Peng Bo away, then immediately crouched low and roared in fury, its six golden glowing horns on its forehead accurately catching Chen Yingyuan’s spear tip.

Ding...

Crack!

The tip of the spear and the golden horn collided with the sound of point meeting point, not loud, but a crisp cracking sound came from Chen Yingyuan’s hands.

It was the sound of bones breaking.

"Run!"

Just like Peng Bo earlier, Chen Yingyuan’s expression also changed. He didn’t have time to worry that he was still targeted by the Demon Sheep. He turned around and shouted toward Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, and the other seven rushing over, signaling them to run.
