The wind howled fiercely, and snow flew all around.
The frost giants, along with the trolls and ogres, chased to one entrance of the great canyon.
Looking at the narrow passage inside and listening to the howling wind, this frost giant hunting party paused for a few seconds before charging in with large strides.
The biting cold wind within the canyon cut through the winter wolves and frost giants, creating slight resistance.
But neither the winter wolves nor the frost giants cared, one group racing swiftly through the narrow passages of the canyon, the other closely following. Under the heavy trampling of the frost giants, the ground continuously trembled, and the snow on the sides of the canyon slightly vibrated, tiny, crystal-clear snowflakes trembling delicately.
Time seemed to slow down a lot.
The winter wolves ambushed in the snow mountains held their breath, waiting patiently and calmly for the prey to approach.
In just two minutes, under the lure of the winter wolves, this group of frost giants and their accompanying servants entered the canyon, delving nearly a kilometer deep.
Their large and bulky figures appeared cumbersome, like imposing heavy tanks.
However, in reality, the frost giants were agile and robust, thanks to their powerful muscles, only slightly slower than the winter wolves when sprinting at full speed.
While running, the frost giants hurled various icy boulders or spears to attack, causing a lot of trouble for the winter wolves.
Although no winter wolves had died yet, the rest of the pack had suffered heavy casualties, and some winter wolves were scraped by sharp rocks raised by falling boulders, their bodies covered in bloodstains.
But they kept silent, baring their fangs and continuing to run wildly.
A few seconds later.
The winter wolves sprinting through the narrow passage of the canyon stealthily glanced at one side of the snow mountain, then turned their heads towards the approaching frost giants.
Hiss. The running winter wolves abruptly stopped, as if on cue, slamming on the brakes and turning to face the frost giants.
Then, under the puzzled gazes of the frost giants.
These winter wolves planted their limbs on the ground, raising their upper bodies while lifting their slender necks, opening their interlocking fangs, their white fur dancing in the cold wind.
Howl!
Howl!
Howl!
Long, clear howls emanated from the mouths of the winter wolves.
The few remaining wolves in their pack also halted, raising their necks and sending continuous howls into the snowy sky.
Seeing this, the frost giants' expressions changed slightly, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.
The next second, the snow mountain began to shake, from slow to fast, from light to heavy, with large amounts of snow falling from the mid-slope, like a white wave rolling down the snow below, and in an instant, it fell.
Accompanying the trembling snow mountain were the rising and falling howls.
Elemental aura suddenly erupted, converging together, outlining the silhouettes of wolves.
The main force of the winter wolves, which had been ambushed here for a long time, triggered their abilities under the lead of the Wolf Evil upon receiving the signal, jointly unleashing an avalanche, tumbling down.
Rumbling. A white torrent, like the waves of an angry sea, fell with the thunderous momentum.
But their target was not the frost giants.
Because such a level of avalanche could easily bury and kill ordinary creatures, but it could not cause real casualties among these frost giants.
The avalanche occurred on both sides of the canyon, that is, in front and behind this frost giant hunting team, blocking their way forward and retreat simultaneously.
White winter wolves rode the avalanche wave, like mastering the blizzard, quickly descending from the mid-slope, followed by a dense number of fierce-looking wolves, charging down amidst rising and falling howls.
On the other side, the winter wolves, who had been chased for a long time and had already been holding back a lot of anger, bared their teeth and grinned ferociously, their limbs low, revealing cruel gleams in their eyes. Then, they leaped forward, turning to attack the frost giants.
Faced with such a large number of wolves, the dozen or so frost giants changed their expressions.
The trolls and ogres that came with them turned even paler, trembling uncontrollably.
However, a frost giant with pale blue skin, just over five meters tall, remained calm, looking at the dense pack of wolves with a grim smile on his face, showing an ugly grin.
"Ha ha ha, knew you little wolves had no good intentions!"
"Really thought us giants only had brute force and lacked the light of wisdom to see through schemes!"
Hearing this thunderous giant language, the approaching winter wolves paused but did not stop, still leading the pack from all directions to surround the frost giant hunting team, isolated like a boat in the sea.
At the same time, a frost giant stepped forward.
Crack crack Among the sound of popping beans, this frost giant's appearance and physique began to change visibly.
The already thick and tough muscles quickly bulged and expanded, the pale blue skin gradually turned into a dark blue color, and the bones inside also thickened, elongated, and the body size climbed segment by segment.
Layers of aura representing fear, despair, and other negative attributes rose.
In an instant, this five-meter-tall blue-skinned frost giant transformed into a twelve-meter-tall dark giant, a size only the oldest frost giants could attain.
"It's a Dark Guardian."
Wolf Evil's face suddenly darkened.
Among the frost giants, some powerful, cruel, and evil tribes receive attention from the giants' gods, gaining dark powers far beyond ordinary frost giants.
These frost giants, known as Dark Guardians or Dark Frost Giants, are incredibly strong, walking sideways just below legendary creatures.
With a Dark Frost Giant present, the Wolfheart Clan, relying on numbers, might still win this battle, but the cost would be severe. Facing such a formidable enemy, amidst heavy casualties, the wolf pack might not remain obedient to the winter wolves' commands.
"Wail, despair."
"This will be your burial ground!"
The Dark Frost Giant laughed loudly, waving his hand vigorously.
Whoosh! Rich dark light emitted from his palm, coating the nearby frost giants and trolls with a layer of ever-flowing dark light.
Dark Blessing! "Frost giant warriors, my loyal servants, you have been strengthened. Do not fear injury or death. Go, kill these little wolves!"
The frost giants and servants blessed with the Dark Blessing, each holding a weapon, showed bloodthirsty dark light in their eyes, roaring towards the wolf pack.
"Damn! Why is there a Dark Guardian here!"
Wolf Evil clenched its teeth, roaring lowly before leaping into the air as a beam of white light, leading the strongest group of draconic winter wolves to attack the Dark Frost Giant, while the other winter wolves engaged the enhanced ordinary frost giants in close combat.
Boom! A series of icy blue breaths emitted from the mouths of the winter wolves, mixed with a large number of tiny ice spikes and needles, hitting the Dark Frost Giant.
The Dark Frost Giant raised his giant axe in front.
The winter wolves' breath hit the giant axe, a powerful combined attack from many draconic winter wolves, making the Dark Frost Giant stagger momentarily, stepping back a few steps.
But it was just a few steps, his body enveloped in dark light, steadying himself.
After steadying himself, the Dark Frost Giant waved his left hand violently.
Rich dark light was swung out, covering all the surrounding winter wolves like dark clouds.
Despairing Dark Aura! The winter wolves covered in the Despairing Dark Aura suddenly stiffened, their minds filled with horrific scenes of being cut into pieces by the laughing opponent, rising despair and will becoming dejected, slowing their movements a lot.
Howl! Wolf Evil roared, its powerful howl containing steadfast consciousness.
The surrounding winter wolves were shocked, breaking free from the influence of the Despairing Dark Aura.
But at that moment, the dark mist rolled like being pressed by a great force, revealing the Dark Frost Giant's figure, raising the giant axe high, with a blinding sharp cold light, chopping down towards Wolf Evil.
Wolf Evil's form seemed tiny and powerless at that moment.
Like a puppy in front of a towering armed adult.
But with a firm will and quick reaction, Wolf Evil dodged the falling giant axe with a desperate roll to the side.
Bang! The ground trembled violently, the giant axe embedding itself into the earth as if causing an earthquake.
Wolf Evil glanced at the scene from the corner of its eye, its eyelids twitching.
If not for its draconic transformation, making its body much stronger than a regular winter wolf, it would definitely not have dodged this attack, certainly being cut in two.
Crack!
The Dark Frost Giant exerted force, pulling the giant axe from the ground.
The sneer on its face had vanished, its dark pupils staring dead at the surrounding winter wolves.
These winter wolves, the original members of the Wolfheart Clan transformed by Garon's draconic blood, were larger than other winter wolves, with some hard white scales visible beneath their fur.
"You, you are the damned dragons' kin!"
A second later, intense killing intent burst from the Dark Frost Giant's eyes.
Quickly breaking free from the Despairing Dark Aura was not something ordinary winter wolves could do. Observing their appearance and aura, the Dark Frost Giant identified their identity.
Looking around, other frost giants blessed with the Dark Blessing were wounded all over amidst the attack of the numerous wolf pack but were still excitedly fighting, surrounded by wolf corpses.
Boom! Dark, evil aura capable of shaking the mind and corrupting the spirit rose to the sky from the Dark Frost Giant's body, piercing the clouds.
The Dark Frost Giant snorted coldly, his voice like a biting cold wind, staring at the draconic winter wolves, word by word, "You, and your dragon master, will be skinned and deboned by the giant race."
"Your skulls and claws will be displayed in my house as trophies!"
However, what puzzled the Dark Frost Giant was that facing such a powerful presence and pressure, the draconic winter wolves in front of him showed joy instead of fear, smiling as they looked up at the sky with awe in their eyes.
Hm? The Dark Frost Giant paused slightly.
A huge shadow silhouette was cast from the sky, covering him.
Realizing something was wrong, the Dark Frost Giant looked up.
The scene in his vision made his face drastically change, his pupils constricting.
A mysterious giant silver dragon, two large red dragons with high temperatures melting the snow around them, and two powerful human spellcasters were rapidly diving from the sky.
"Three dragons and one giant dragon."
Although enemies and hostile towards true dragons, giants were very clear about the dragons' strength; giants were no match for dragons in a one-on-one battle.
Even as a Dark Guardian, with strength far beyond ordinary frost giants, it would be difficult to kill a twenty-meter-long adult red dragon.
Let alone now, with three dragons arriving, those two giant red dragons seemed to be minor characters.
"Bad, how did red dragons come to the northern ice fields, and since when was there a giant dragon here!"
The Dark Frost Giant, who had just been displaying his might, now nearly had a heart stop.
