Chapter 636 - 427: Ice and Snow Stealth, Facing the Frosty Snow Beast
Wenresa took the initiative to attack.
This distance has already entered the best killing range for the shooter.
Quickly drew a refined level arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
Skillfully pulled the bowstring, putting the bow limb in a tight state of readiness.
"Binding Strike!"
She uttered a light cry, imbuing the arrow with a skill effect.
Shot this sharp arrow out.
Accompanied by a swift whooshing sound, the arrow shot straight towards a patch of ground not far from the city gate, over a hundred meters away.
Zong Shen also tensed up, his gaze following the direction of the arrow.
Only to see that the arrow seemed to hit some obstacle, embedding straight into it.
Judging from the length of the arrow, it only went in about one-third.
[-72]
A damage value emerged.
Indicating that the attack was effective.
And in that clearing, a scene of blurring occurred immediately.
Accompanied by a twisting change in scenery, a tall figure finally completely revealed itself under the attack.
This was a three-meter-tall strong monster, its entire body covered with thick white fur.
With a pair of massive feet comparable in size to a 28-inch suitcase.
Such large feet were quite incongruous even for a height of more than three meters.
Apart from the most prominent large feet, its arms were also stout.
Underneath the thick white fur, one could see strong and obvious muscle lines.
This was truly a fist as big as a cooking pot.
Due to the angle, Zong Shen could only see its profile.
It looked somewhat like an ape, with eyes showing a gray-white color, without any expression or emotion.
Due to the distance, he was unable to see more details for now.
He could only see the red-brown color of the Yeti’s skin.
At this moment, on the Yeti’s right arm, the arrow shot by Wenresa was embedded.
The body was completely entwined by the Wind Spirit Magic accompanying the Binding Strike in a light cyan hue.
"Roar!"
The Yeti let out a violent roar.
After this strike, its stealth state was broken.
Totally exposed within the territory.
Zong Shen refocused, the detailed attributes of this creature started to emerge before him.

(The Frosty Snow Beast enhanced by the Lord System using the Ice Ape as a template, not only controls frost magic, but its fists also possess great deterrent power. Considering the power of the lv40 Ice Arrow, it’s best to eliminate it quickly before it can use frost magic)
Zong Shen quickly finished reviewing the attributes of the Frosty Snow Beast.
This attribute is already comparable to the Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold after half-demonization.
Additionally, its level is as high as level 40, and it is assumed to have mastered skills also at level 40.
One must know that there is no absolute correlation between skill level and personal level.
The difficulty of upgrading skill levels is higher than that of personal levels.
So, this guy’s state is equivalent to an indirect enhancement.
In general, the strength of every Yeti is not much worse than that of the Spider Web Monster Lord of the past.
The most annoying feature is that the Frosty Snow Beast possesses an advanced stealth skill called Ice and Snow Stealth.
It can noiselessly avoid the detection of defense towers and scrying spells below Tier Three.
This way it can catch the Lords off guard.
Unless the territory has high-tier watchtowers or permanent detection magic discs.
Otherwise, defense arrow towers can’t fully exert their proactive defense capabilities.
When the Frosty Snow Beast exposes its form, it is also the time when it infiltrates the territory to launch an attack.
Even now, although the Lords’ strength has generally improved, facing the Frosty Snow Beast still poses a great challenge.
In place, the Yeti broke away from its short-term binding state, turned its body and stared at Wenresa with reddened eyes, its lower jaw having two canines protruding to the sides of its nose.
The upper jaw also bulged like that of an ape, as the data describe, this creature’s original template belongs to the Ice Ape Race, only enhanced and modified by the Lord System.
Wenresa and the Dragon-kin Ranger Sisters swiftly drew arrows and aimed to shoot, with a swift elegance and poise.
Arrow after arrow flew out, striking the Ice Ape’s body.
The high armor value of 55 points blocked a substantial amount of piercing damage.
Without using skills, Mapple and her sister could only deal damage of just over 30 points.
Wenresa, being a Heroic level unit, had quite a bit of rare-level equipment.
Her attacks were more intense than those of the Dragon-kin Ranger Sisters.
The previous Binding Strike had a 1.1 times piercing bonus, hence resulting in 73 points of damage.
Ordinary attacks could also deal 61 points of actual damage.
Facing the arrow attack, the Frosty Snow Beast crouched its body, raising its stout arms to shield its face.
This wave of arrow attack took away more than 300 points of its life value.
Subsequently, a thick ice armor quickly condensed on its body surface.
This guy possessed not low battle wisdom, and after breaking its stealth, it did not rush to attack.
Instead, it first set up defensive measures for itself.
"Crunch!"
...
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
A sound echoed from four directions.
Among them were sounds of ice shell shattering, the echo of giant crossbow strings recoiling, and the deadly whistling of the splitting air.
Unfortunately, this was Zong Shen’s territory center.
The Frosty Snow Beast sneaking in here was akin to a lamb in a tiger’s den.
Previously, under ice and snow stealth, the defense arrow towers could not locate it.
Now, under Wenresa’s attack, having exited the stealth state, it was completely exposed to the range of the defense towers.
The giant crossbow towers in the defense matrix, distributed in four directions and having a 4-kilometer range, were the first to launch attacks.
The crossbow arrows as thick as a leg can no longer be called arrows, they are better described as crossbow guns.
Fired from different positions at the frosty Wildman.
At this time, the ice armor had already formed, making the Frosty Snow Beast resemble an ice-carved puppet, showing how solid the ice armor was.
"Boom!"
...
Four massive impacts sounded almost simultaneously.
Four crossbow guns hit the Frosty Snow Beast at the same moment.
Unfortunately, they did not penetrate the ice armor, only embedding into it.
Immediately, fragments of ice flew everywhere, revealing four lines of damage values.
