Chapter 649 - 434: Frosty Winter Hunter, Hunting the Yeti
The dragonized spear and shield warriors around used their long spears to pin the yeti in place.
Zong Shen’s heavy strike made the yeti’s body sway.
Don’t be fooled by the Frosty Snow Beast’s three-meter height and massive size.
In terms of strength, it’s no match for the freak, Zong Shen.
Its strength attribute, enhanced by its size and race, surpasses that of an ordinary human tier four foot soldier, reaching 62 strength points.
Compared to Zong Shen’s formidable 135 strength points, it’s just a little brother.
Although the Frosty Snow Beast is a hard-headed creature, it has a certain battle instinct.
After a single hit, Zong Shen retreated immediately, bouncing outside the encirclement.
The wolf cavalry’s capture net lasted less than 2 seconds before it failed.
The yeti’s body was riddled with arrows, and the long-range attacks continued.
The Burden-Bearer Mecha, which the long-range group was riding, had been stopped by Wenresa.
Now it was a fixed firepower platform.
Because of concerns for allies, the shooters began to aim carefully, resulting in a reduced shooting frequency.
Within this hundred-meter distance, the precision of arrows and crossbow arrows maintained a stable level.
Due to the lack of tail fins, the precision of crossbow arrows became affected over a certain distance.
Apart from the continuous arrow rain, the water mages along with Tasuya and Aisha were incessantly chanting basic magic arrows of various elements.
With the Magic Spring serving as a magic power supplement, the mages’ output also gained confidence.
Especially Tasuya’s Double Death Spirit Arrow, each shot equaling two ordinary magic arrows.
Originally, due to consumption concerns, Tasuya dared not use it freely.
Now she could finally chant attacks relatively freely.
As the main hunting team accompanying Zong Shen, each of them was equipped with five bottles of Magic Spring Water.
This effectively supplemented 400 mana at once, allowing meditation to recover mana during hunting pauses.
Sufficient for them to cast magic arrows with abandon.
Compared to traditional arrows, magic arrows were entirely composed of elements.
The flight speed was slower, but the trajectory was more stable.
Some mages with strong spiritual power could even interfere with the magic arrow’s trajectory after firing.
The most famous in this playstyle is the Arcane Missile.
Magic arrows, with halos of different elements, accurately hit the Frosty Snow Beast’s chest.
Elemental forces rippled on the ice armor, blasting palm-sized gaps.
The magic light, accompanied by shattering ice and frost, flew everywhere.
Compared to arrow attacks, the mages’ magic arrows, with high damage bonuses.
Ultimately caused much higher damage.
Each magic arrow could deal over thirty points of magic damage.
This was the damage value after the ice armor’s 60 magic resistance mitigated it.
The Frosty Snow Beast let out an angry roar.
Even the snowflakes in front of it paused slightly.
Its ape-like face looked ferocious while baring its teeth.
Its robust canine teeth and bulging upper jaw made it look wild.
When it tried to move, it couldn’t budge an inch.
Those long spears were like rods nailed into its body.
In the dense rain of attacks, it couldn’t concentrate on casting spells.
Even though it is a creation of the Lord System, capable of casting frost magic without chanting.
It still needed to be free from attacks and damage.
Without focused spiritual power, the spell model couldn’t be constructed.
The chanting time for ordinary magic was the time to construct the spell model.
Even if chanting wasn’t needed, spiritual power as guidance was necessary to achieve "instant cast" magic effects.
The ease with which casting can be interrupted is one of the casters’ biggest weaknesses.
To cast spells calmly, besides ensuring a certain safe distance.
Also requires teammates to cover, ensuring stable casting.
In this world, mages in armies often act collectively as a mage squadron.
The solo mages often have their group, partners, or attendants.
Of course, there are also some with extraordinary talent in Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation.
For example, our certain Zong, as a lord, he doesn’t need to meditate painstakingly or study spells.
For indigenous mages, studying spells and meditation practices would occupy a large amount of time.
So everything is balanced, each troop type has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Now the Frosty Snow Beast, constantly under attack, has completely fallen to disadvantage.
Unable to cast spells, it’s like a toothless tiger.
It wanted to fight with its body, but the twelve gun shield warriors used long spears to restrain its body.
These gun shield warriors belong to the tier three foot soldiers who excel in strength.
Each person’s strength attribute is above 35 points, though individually it’s less powerful than the yeti.
But here is a whole squad of dragonized spear and shield warriors.
Zong Shen moved nimbly around, seizing the chance every now and then to strike this giant with the [Wind-Fire-Thunder Trident].
Under such an attack method, the ice armor was soon completely shattered.
The Frosty Snow Beast roared madly, forcefully stamping the ice layer with its legs trying to break free from the restraint.
Its massive feet were strong and powerful, even gouging a big pit out of the ice below it.
Its strong arms kept swinging, knocking away several long spears that held it.
However, the gun shield warriors quickly came back to resist.
