497 Tug-of-War 497 Tug-of-War At this moment.
The group suddenly noticed something unusual about the Rat Demon corpses.
Lei Zhenhai’s face darkened.
He decisively swung his sleeves, unleashing powerful gusts of wind that blew several nearby Rat Demon corpses down to the mountain’s base!
The other elders quickly joined in.
Some simply harnessed their Spiritual Power.
Others took out Magic Artifacts resembling Palm Leaf Fans and summoned tornado-like gusts with one wave.
The Heavenly Sound Sect’s Great Elder worked together with the disciples, launching several soundwaves in succession, forcibly pushing the Rat Demon corpses away.
The snowy slope was slippery.
With just a bit of effort from the people above.
The Rat Demon corpses slid down, vanished, and never returned.
However.
Before half of the corpses could be cleared.
Those Beast Skin Bags began to dissolve one after another.
Rivulets of mysterious black liquid corroded through the Beast Skin Bags, dripping onto the icy surface.
The ice was unable to withstand the corrosion, melting into scalding water and causing nearby sections of the ice to dissolve along with it.
And similar scenes.
Started unfolding across various parts of the snowy slope!
Chunks of ice were melting away.
And the chain reaction it triggered was…
Crack—
Under the anxious stares of the people.
The icy layer of the snowy slope emitted a bone-chilling sound of rupture!
The ice layer… had broken!
Crash—
Without any warning.
The lower half of the icy surface beneath Boundary Mountain crumbled spectacularly.
Like a torrential current, it cascaded downward into the mountain’s base.
The tremendous impact caused countless shale ice created by the collapse to form a moving ice river.
It flowed all the way from mid-mountain.
Crushing hundreds of Dead Corpse Puppets along its path.
And forcing the army to retreat repeatedly amidst great tumult.
Yet the people on Boundary Mountain couldn’t afford even a hint of celebration.
Because.
The ice layer below mid-mountain on Boundary Mountain was entirely gone.
Exposing incredibly dense frozen soil and coarse rocky terrain.
The Demon Beasts could climb upward as though walking on flat ground!
Within the Dead Corpse Army.
The Demon Priest furrowed her willow-leaf eyebrows.
“Could it be that a master has joined the ranks of the Human Guardians?”
Had someone not commanded a timely clearing of the Rat Demon corpses.
The entire snowy slope’s coating of ice and snow would have been completely wiped clean by now.
Her Dead Corpse Army would’ve already surged straight upward.
“Even with just the lower half of the slope cleared, it’s enough!”
“Even if it means piling up corpses, we’ll flatten the remaining slope completely!”
She removed the butterfly hairpin, gently blowing into it.
The sound of a resonant horn.
Echoed like a warhammer, urging the Dead Corpse Army forward in a flood-like charge against Boundary Mountain!
The first to ascend were massive beasts, second only in size to Barbaric Elephants.
Their gigantic bodies trampled effortlessly over dense rock and frozen soil, storming upward with alarming speed.
