Chapter 637 - 428: Two-headed Hellhound vs. Frenzied Frosty Snow Beast
The giant crossbow had immense impact force.
It sent the massive body of the Frosty Snow Beast reeling, unable to stand firm.
But unfortunately.
The ice armor boasts a dual resistance value of 60 and a durability value of 2500.
As mobile armor, this skill is quite resilient.
Four crossbow bolts as thick as large legs were embedded in the ice armor, making the Frosty Snow Beast look like it was carrying several logs on its back.
This barrage of giant crossbow attacks didn’t daze the Frosty Snow Beast.
As a custom-made challenge creature tailored for the Frosty Winter Challenge.
Its difficulty level is on par with the Burrow Heroes from the Burrow Challenge.
Precisely because of this, it only has combat instincts, devoid of emotions like fear, fright, or the urge to flee.
In simpler terms, the Frosty Snow Beast is like an iron-headed kid.
After enduring a wave of giant crossbow attacks with its ice armor, it decisively opened its arms and shot an ice arrow at Wenresa.
It possesses an affinity for frost magic that ordinary mages can hardly compare to.
Capable of instant casting ice arrows, its ice arrow magic damage multiplier reaches 3.0 due to its level.
With the Frosty Snow Beast’s basic magic damage, this ice arrow can inflict damage ranging from 309 to 318 points.
Wenresa’s pupils contracted, halting her drawing action.
She immediately prepared to activate the Wind Mastery skill attached to her leg armor for an emergency dodge.
At that moment, a figure leapt up even faster, blocking in front of her.
It was Zong Shen, wielding his trident, always initiating close combat attacks.
Thus, he was able to quickly support Wenresa.
A black, impure object emerged behind him.
It was like a square tablecloth blocking his back.
This layer of impurity was only half a finger thick, truly resembling some kind of fragile leather.
The ice arrow fired by the Frosty Snow Beast was much fiercer.
This ice arrow, enhanced by frost magic, came shooting with a blue-white tail.
With no chanting time, the Frosty Snow Beast’s counterattack was truly vicious.
The first ice arrow was just an appetizer; in fact, it fired three ice arrows in quick succession.
If not for the subsequent second wave of arrow tower attacks that hit it, interrupting its actions, it would have continued to fire more.
With a mana value as high as 1000, it could continuously fire over 30 ice arrows.
"My lord..."
Wenresa couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this moment, Zong Shen also relied on his powerful jumping ability to leap onto the wall.
He hugged Wenresa, turning to shield her from the ice arrows with his back.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
The three ice arrows struck the tablecloth-like impurity one after another.
Amazingly, they couldn’t penetrate it at all.
The powerful frost energy exploded into three white frost blossoms on it.
These frost blossoms quickly spread and froze on the surface but were absorbed by the impurity in the blink of an eye.
Even the impact force of the ice arrows was completely absorbed by the impurity.
The defensive effect it showcased was truly terrifying.
This was the defensive skill of the same name, Evil’s Filth, mastered by Zong Shen by using demon power to erode and devour the Evil’s Filth attached to the Heart of Impurity!
Strictly speaking, this was Zong Shen’s first time using it.
Though he had tested its defensive capability when he first obtained the Heart of Impurity.
Even using the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword to hack at it couldn’t damage Evil’s Filth, nor leave any marks on its surface.
This thing is undeniably an evil object; only a few types of attacks can be effective against it.
However, using it in actual combat made Zong Shen a bit uneasy.
For this reason, he had already taken out the magic disc of the Blazing Shield.
If Evil’s Filth showed signs of being unable to withstand an attack, he could immediately activate the magic disc.
To create a Blazing Shield for supplementary defense.
But now it seemed that the defense capability of Evil’s Filth exceeded expectations.
It basically matched the previous assessment in the guide module.
Except for a few powers that can restrain it, it can almost achieve an immunity-like effect.
Seeing all the ice arrows disappear, Zong Shen finally stood up.
Wenresa, whom he shielded beneath him, trembled slightly.
A feeling she hadn’t experienced in a long time surged back into her heart.
Melting the heart that had long become like eternal ice.
"The lord protected me..."
"His embrace is like the wings of a giant eagle..."
Wenresa’s mind was blank, occupied by only these two thoughts.
Zong Shen didn’t bother with Wenresa’s abnormal state.
His gaze first landed on the Frosty Snow Beast.
After the attack from the Giant Crossbow Tower, some of the Tier Three Elemental Arrow Towers with a range of 1 kilometer and the Tier Four Moon Blade Towers with a range of 1.25 kilometers also launched attacks.
Defense arrow towers, besides having range limitations, also have attack intervals.
The Giant Crossbow Tower and Moon Blade Tower have an attack interval of up to 15 seconds.
Only the Tier Three Elemental Arrow Tower has a more consistent attack, with a 3-second interval allowing for almost uninterrupted shooting within its range.
Unfortunately, the single-target attack of the Tier Three Elemental Arrow Tower isn’t very high, each strike inflicting only thirty to forty points of damage to the ice armor.
At this moment, Doris drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha, bringing the Dragon-Transformed Spear and Shield Warrior Squad, Wolf Cavalry Squad One, Favide, Tasuya, and Aisha through the south gate of the territory into the Inner City District.
