In the distance, Xia Hong took advantage of this moment to apply the Golden Sore Powder on his chest.

Just as he was about to look up, the Snow Mane opened its Blood Basin mouth and let out a wild roar.

A massive sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He immediately abandoned the action of looking up, not daring to even glance, and flattened himself on the ground.

A white ice spike, more than ten meters long, flew past, almost grazing his scalp.

Sss…

The white ice spike pierced through the large tree behind him, and as the Snow Mane suddenly dipped its head, the spike cut straight downward, slitting the massive tree in half, causing it to collapse on both sides.

“Its tongue is longer, more flexible, and sharper than a Low-level Snowman’s!”

Prone on the ground, Xia Hong didn’t need to look to know it was the long tongue of the Snow Mane.

Realizing the tongue was slashing toward him, he didn’t dare even to flip over, choosing to roll sideways on the ground instead.

Whirl…

With the tongue hitting the ground, not just the snow but even the entire surface had a deep trench carved into it, and as long as the Snow Mane turned its head, the trench line advanced straight toward the rolling Xia Hong.

The long tongue resembled a sharp sword spat out from the mouth of the Snow Mane.

But this sword was excessively long, too swift, and could extend and retract at will.

More importantly…

Clang…

In the darkness, three or four Iron Arrows shot from a hidden spot straight into the long tongue.

Surprisingly, all these arrows, carrying tremendous force, rebounded upon hitting the tongue.

The tongue of the Intermediate Snowman was no longer a weakness!

Still dodging the Snow Mane’s long tongue, Xia Hong’s face showed astonishment upon seeing the Iron Arrows bounce off.

His initial success in hunting Low-level Snowmen relied on attacking their tongues.

After the Snow Mane evolved to Intermediate level, its only weakness—the tongue—had disappeared.

So, was there still a chance of a successful hunt?

Sss…

The sharp, straight long tongue once again severed a large tree beside him.

Several lines of cold sweat trickled down Xia Hong’s forehead, and he already felt some regret.

Dozens of arrows were still stuck in the Snow Mane’s face.

Although its left eye hadn’t been blinded, five or six arrows surrounded it, and because Xia Chuan and the others were persistently attacking it, the beast was hesitant even to open its eye, while blood from the Iron Arrows continued to drip.

In this situation, one might say they were close to a successful hunt.

Yet in reality, the Snow Mane showed no sign of its vitality diminishing; instead, its movements grew faster and its ferocity kept climbing.

With every attempt of its long tongue, Xia Hong dodged successfully.

The Snow Mane seemed vexed and moved its hooves, charging straight toward him.

Whirl…

Just the slight movement of the immense Snow Mane set off fierce winds sweeping across the ground.

Not just the snow, even nearby large trees were swayed by it.

Facing it directly, Xia Hong felt wind strength that was terrifying to the extreme.

His physique was already considered robust among humans, but compared to this Snow Mane, he seemed insignificant.

Frost and snow were carried by the gusts, causing him to sway without even moving.

“Can’t dodge!”

As this thought flashed through his mind, in a lightning-fast decision, Xia Hong stopped trying to dodge.

He aimed the Yi Blade straight ahead, switching from a knife to a spear, leaning his body to the right.

He pointed the sharp blade tip at the Snow Mane’s already blinded right eye, mustered force with both hands, and then retreated several steps quickly.

Boom…

The Snow Mane hit right where he aimed, and Xia Hong’s body was like a cannonball, flung thirty to forty meters away by the impact.

Its carrying force broke through two large trees over ten meters in diameter along the way.

Bang…

The remaining force was entirely absorbed by the ground, slamming Xia Hong into it over a meter deep.

The exploded snow along the way buried him completely.

“Big brother!”

“Chief…”

“Chief!”

Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…

In the darkness, a dozen or more exclamations rang out.

Naturally, these came from the fifteen men, including Xia Chuan, hiding around the trees.

While shouting to confirm Xia Hong’s status, they accelerated their arrow shooting frantically, trying to drive back the Snow Mane as it continued toward Xia Hong.

“I’m okay, keep attacking, it’s doomed!”

From under the snow, Xia Hong’s slightly weak voice came, immediately settling the fifteen anxious hearts.

Roar…

The following chilling scream from the Snow Mane made them understand what Xia Hong meant by saying it was doomed.

Incredibly, there was a knife handle on the Snow Mane’s right face.

A bare knife handle, showing no blade at all.

It was firmly embedded in its right face.

“Was it that impact just now that drove the Chief’s Yi Blade directly into it?”

“I remember the Chief’s Yi Blade is 1.7 meters in total, with a 1.5-meter blade.”

“No wonder it’s screaming so badly; the Chief’s blade must have pierced its brain.”

“Indeed, it’s doomed; this Snow Mane probably can’t hold out much longer.”

…

But things, evidently, weren’t as simple as everyone thought.

Xia Hong, who was trying to stand up, hadn’t yet distanced himself when the Snow Mane’s long tongue cleaved through the snow mist, flying straight at him.

“Its vitality is astonishing!”

As Xia Hong continued fleeing southward, seeing no sign of slack in the Snow Mane’s movements, his heart sank to rock bottom.

Whizz…

By now, with the Yi Blade lodged in the Snow Mane’s head, Xia Hong resorted to using the Iron Core Bow in his hand.

Yet, under the pursuit of the Snow Mane, he couldn’t maintain any accuracy, only aiming to disrupt the Snow Mane’s tongue with his arrows.

“The distance from the trench keeps increasing, and the animal trap hasn’t come into play at all.

This hunt is diverging far from the intended plan!”

The Snow Mane continued pursuing him southward, clearly aiming to move beyond the shooting range of Xia Chuan and the other fifteen men.
