Chapter 457 Eerie Voice!
“Patriarch, that giant beast has started hitting the barrier! What should we do?”
In the snowy forest outside the barrier, nearly a hundred snowmen stood.
And the Snow King stood at the front of this group.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Not far behind, inside the barrier, an ice-armored unicorn, thirty to forty meters tall and as high as a building, was violently ramming against the barrier shield.
After all, it was a tenth-rank beast, with terrifyingly powerful impact!
The ground within a hundred meters was shaking violently!
The Snow King looked at this ferocious beast in its berserk state, his expression extremely grave.
Early this morning, he had received a message from his subordinates guarding the barrier that this ice-armored unicorn had appeared very close to the barrier shield, wandering around, with unknown intentions.
After receiving the message, the Snow King immediately rushed to the scene.
And shortly after his arrival, things developed toward the worst scenario, just as he had feared.
This ice-armored unicorn indeed wanted to break through the barrier!
Such an incident had not occurred for hundreds of years!
The barrier before them was set up by the ancestors of the Blizzard Tribe, with the purpose of preventing creatures from the depths of the Far North from leaving and wreaking havoc on the human world.
But at the time it was created, this barrier was merely a precautionary measure.
Because these creatures were all in a dormant state, and with the continuous thinning of Earth’s spiritual energy, they awakened very infrequently, and many even died during their slumber.
But the ancestors of the Blizzard Tribe could not have imagined that hundreds of years later, these creatures would actually awaken together, and some individual creatures were already attempting to break through the barrier!
“Patriarch, if this continues… can the barrier withstand it?” a snowman asked in horror.
The Snow King’s brows were tightly furrowed.
This barrier had rarely experienced impacts since its establishment, and he didn’t know if it could withstand the ice-armored unicorn’s assault.
Beyond the barrier’s strength, what he feared more was whether the noise made by the ice-armored unicorn would attract other creatures from the depths?
If other creatures also joined in ramming the barrier, even ten barriers wouldn’t be able to withstand it!
So, time was extremely urgent now.
They had to find a way to make the ice-armored unicorn stop ramming, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
And to make the ice-armored unicorn stop ramming, there were only two methods.
The first method was the simplest and most direct: knock it unconscious or kill it. But this method was basically impossible to implement. The ice armor on the ice-armored unicorn might be the hardest substance in the world, and combined with its enormous size… confronting it head-on would be the most foolish approach.
The other method was to use the Blizzard Tribe’s techniques for communicating with beasts or mental magic to calm it down, preferably making it fall back into slumber. If that wasn’t possible, at least give it a signal to stop its current behavior… this method was also very difficult, as the ferocious beast was completely in a berserk state and would certainly be hard to communicate with.
But no matter how difficult, they had to try.
The Snow King thought for a moment, looked around, and asked, “Where is Snow Lady?”
“Dad, I’m here.”
At that moment, Snow Lady had just arrived riding a snow wolf.
“You’re the best in our tribe at communicating with beasts. Try to communicate with it and make it stop ramming,” the Snow King looked at Snow Lady and said solemnly.
Snow Lady looked up at the ice-armored unicorn inside the barrier, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Although she was skilled at communicating with beasts, she had never communicated with such a gigantic beast before!
Moreover, this ice-armored unicorn had a faint ferocious light in its eyes, clearly difficult to communicate with.
But Snow Lady was well aware of the consequences if the ice-armored unicorn broke through the barrier.
So, she still walked forward without hesitation.
The Snow King gestured for all the snowmen present to be silent and retreat a dozen meters back.
“Bang…”
The ice-armored unicorn was still frantically ramming the barrier shield.
This terrifying impact force made the thin shield look precarious, quite frightening.
Snow Lady stood in front of the barrier, very close to the ice-armored unicorn.
At this moment, she could clearly hear her own heart pounding.
“Calm down, calm down, I can definitely do this!”
Snow Lady encouraged herself inwardly, then extended one hand and raised it.
“Boom!”
The snow beneath Snow Lady’s feet immediately rose upward, forming a snow pillar.
Only when Snow Lady stood at the same height as the ice-armored unicorn’s head did the snow pillar stop rising.
Snow Lady took a deep breath, preparing to speak.
But at this moment, the ice-armored unicorn stepped back a few paces, then suddenly charged forward!
Its massive horn slammed heavily against the shield in front of Snow Lady, producing a tremendous noise!
“Ah!”
Snow Lady was startled and fell sitting on the snow pillar.
The Snow King frowned deeply and sent a mental message to Snow Lady: “Don’t be afraid, it can’t break through the shield for now!”
Snow Lady gritted her teeth and stood up, looking at the ice-armored unicorn in front of her, and emitted the unique language used to communicate with beasts.
The shield did not block sound.
The ice-armored unicorn seemed to hear Snow Lady’s words and stopped ramming.
Its gaze, which had been fixed on the outside world, now focused on Snow Lady.
It’s working!
The Snow King’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Snow Lady.
Snow Lady continued communicating, her words meant to persuade the ice-armored unicorn to stop ramming the barrier.
The ice-armored unicorn seemed to listen, slowly stepping backward.
Snow Lady’s heart was still in suspense, but the unicorn’s reaction allowed her to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
According to her experience, the ice-armored unicorn had accepted her request and was willing to temporarily stop.
But just as everyone’s hearts were beginning to relax, a strange sound suddenly came from the extreme depths inside the barrier.
This sound was difficult to describe, but it was quite distinct!
It just swept by, making everyone’s bodies shiver.
“Awooo…”
After this sound appeared, the ice-armored unicorn suddenly raised its head and roared wildly.
“Bang bang bang!”
It had retreated more than ten meters, but now charged toward the barrier shield again!
This time, its speed and force were even more fierce than before!
“Bang!”
With a tremendous noise, a wave of air rippled outside the shield.
Snow Lady screamed and was blasted off the snow pillar.
The Snow King immediately raised his hand.
Another snow pillar rose up, catching Snow Lady.
“Roar…”
The ice-armored unicorn let out roars of rage, the ferocious light in its eyes intensifying as it frantically rammed the shield.
Snow Lady got up, turned to look at the Snow King, and said with a grim expression, “Dad, I had already communicated with it successfully, and it was willing to temporarily retreat… but that strange sound just now seems to have enraged it again. Now it’s completely berserk and can’t be communicated with.”
The Snow King’s face was as dark as water.
What was the source of that strange sound just now that made one’s skin crawl?
Why did the ice-armored unicorn become completely berserk after hearing that sound?
Could it be…
The Snow King thought of a very bad possibility.
But he couldn’t dwell on it now; he had to deal with the ice-armored unicorn first.
“Since communication is impossible, try using mental magic to forcibly make it sleep!” the Snow King said solemnly.
“Alright, I’ll… try.”
Snow Lady turned around to face the ice-armored unicorn and formed hand seals.
A faint yellow light appeared in Snow Lady’s hands.
The ice-armored unicorn’s gaze was instantly attracted to this yellow light, and all its movements stopped.
“Sleep now.” Snow Lady gently manipulated her hands, and the light in her hands grew more brilliant.
But she was not at ease.
Using mental magic to forcibly suppress a beast’s inner rage was a kind of power confrontation.
The mental strength of this ferocious beast was quite formidable, making Snow Lady’s mental magic extremely difficult to perform.
However, it was having an effect.
The ferocious light in the ice-armored unicorn’s large eyes dimmed, its eyelids drooping slightly, seemingly becoming drowsy.
Snow Lady gritted her teeth, struggling to maintain the mental magic, slowly suppressing the rage in the ice-armored unicorn’s heart.
The situation was improving.
At this rate, in another half minute, Snow Lady would be able to make this ferocious beast fall completely into slumber.
The Snow King clenched his fists, extremely tense.
The nearly hundred snowmen behind him all remained silent, intently observing the ice-armored unicorn’s movements.
As time passed, the ice-armored unicorn’s eyes were half-closed, and even its heavy breathing had become much calmer.
It was about to fall asleep.
“Hiss…”
But at this moment, from the depths of the Far North, that skin-crawling sound came again!
