Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 240 Snow Giant
Everyone held their breath, but the "poof" footsteps stopped, and they stopped at the place where the arc of the ice peak blocked their view.
But the edge of the ice peak was almost transparent, and everyone could clearly see that there was a white shadow reflected in it.
The refraction of the ice made the white shadow even taller. Poplar's mind was in a hurry, and he was about to make a gesture to make everyone retreat, but when he heard the "poof" sound, the white shadow bypassed the ice peak and stood opposite Poplar and the others in a blink of an eye.
said that it was the other side, but in fact, the distance between them was at least seven or eight meters away, but the white shadow's long-looking body was still clearly reflected in the eyes of Bai Yang and the others.
It wasn't human, but it wasn't a beast in the ordinary sense either.
If it had to be defined, it would be a humanoid creature that is much closer to a human than an ape.
It has a straight body like a human, and it also has a well-proportioned body like a human, and even its facial features are closer to a human than an ape.
For example, apes have nostrils that are facing upward, but they don't, and their nostrils are pointing downwards like humans.
Another example is that apes have deep eye sockets and their mouths bulge forward, and the creature's mouth also protrudes, but the protrusion is much less pronounced than that of apes.
The only thing that makes it different from a human is its body, which is more than three meters tall, and it is covered in snow-white, thick hair.
In addition, it has a pair of eyes, which are not white, but light gray. Lined with its white hair, those eyes are not very obvious, but they are extraordinarily transparent.
At this moment, its bright eyes stared at Poplar and the others, and the light in its eyes shone brightly, showing some defensiveness and some excitement.
Having been a ranger for five years, Poplar knew exactly what that excitement meant, the look on a beast's face when it spotted its novel prey.
In other words, the tall, burly humanoid, or rather the snowman, has taken several of them as prey and is ready to attack.
And with such a tall and burly body, I am afraid that just one palm stretching out can pinch people to death. Even Poplar felt a heavy pressure like Mount Tai at the moment.
He stared into the eyes of the snowman, but said slowly, "I'm here to block it, and you guys are slowly backing away!"
"I won't retreat, the others should retreat quickly!" said Tie Niu.
"There are so many of us, and we have two pistols, we should be ...... No problem, right?" Chu Mingyu said.
She was bent on tracking the snowman, but at this moment, she was really facing the snowman, and she was also frightened by the snowman's unexpectedly tall body, so that she trembled slightly when she spoke.
"You can't shoot!" Chen Xiaopang suppressed his voice and objected first, "If you want to shoot, you can only shoot into the sky, this is the rarest creature in the world, and you must not hurt its life!"
"So get out of here, hurry!" Poplar insisted.
"If you stay alone, you have to try not to hurt its life, how can you stop it? It is better for us all to stay, and with the advantage of numbers, we may be able to make it retreat!" Ding Lingling said later.
Bai Yang thought that what Ding Lingling said also made sense. Besides, if Ding Lingling and them retreat, leaving him alone to fight to the death with this snowman, it is impossible for him to stab the snowman with a black sword, otherwise he will die in the hands of this snowman.
Several of them spoke in suppressed voices, and the snowman did not immediately rush over to interrupt them.
But just when Poplar's mind was spinning and he was about to open his mouth to explain a few more words, the snowman suddenly let out a roar, "Bang Bang Bang" with heavy steps, and rushed towards several people.
Knowing that with such a tall body, Poplar could kick people to death by raising his feet, so he simply shouted: "Everyone be careful!"
He also sprinted and collided with the snowman.
The others never expected that Poplar would make such a dangerous move, and they couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
With a height of more than 1.8 meters, Poplar is simply a dwarf in comparison with the tall and burly figure of the snowman.
Everyone saw that the dwarf was about to collide with the snowman, who raised his arm and swept towards the poplar.
Poplar had already expected this sweep, and the figure rushing forward suddenly turned and stepped onto the ice slope next to the ice gully.
The slope of the ice slope was not large, but it was also unusually slippery.
But the poplar was wearing non-slip shoes, and with an upward momentum, he rushed directly onto the ice slope and bypassed the snowman's cross arm.
The snowman didn't expect Poplar to move so quickly, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and his pace of rushing forward naturally slowed down.
I didn't want the iron bull to see the poplar rushing towards the snowman alone, and started with a start.
Poplar had just rounded the snowman when the Iron Bull then rushed up, raised the iron crowbar in his hand, and struck hard at the snowman.
One of the snowman's arms had just been swept away, and he didn't watch out for the iron bull coming so quickly, so he heard a "bang" sound, and the iron bull smashed a crowbar on the snowman's shoulder.
The snowman was furious, and he heard it roar, and swept his arm again, striking him the iron bull's chest.
The iron bull flew up sideways, "pounced" on the ice peak next to it, and then fell to the ground with a "plop".
The snowman took two steps forward, and was about to raise his foot to step on the iron ox, but the poplar jumped up from its back, grabbed its neck at once, grabbed the hair on the top of its head with both hands, and pulled it back with force.
The snowman's scalp hurt, and he didn't have time to step on the iron ox, but twisted his body and tried to pull the poplar off his back.
Chen Xiaopang rushed over at this time, picked up the fine steel shovel, and hit the snowman between the belly sideways.
The snowman was frustrated again and again, and he was even more furious, screaming "wow" in his mouth, flying up first, kicking Chen Xiaopang straight out, and at the same time suddenly bent forward, throwing the poplar's body to the front, without waiting for the poplar to float back, the snowman stretched out his hands and grabbed the poplar's waist.
Its two palms are extremely huge, and the aspen is held in its hand, just like an ordinary person holding a big radish.
Poplar was shocked, knowing that once its hands were tightened, he was afraid that even his internal organs would be flattened by it.
At this moment, he didn't have time to think carefully, and before the snowman's hands could exert his strength, Poplar pulled out the short dagger on his waist with one hand and stabbed the snowman's wrist hard.
The snowman screamed, holding the poplar's waist with both hands, but this time he had to shake it off with one hand, but the other hand was still holding the poplar's body.
When the others saw the poplar fall into the hands of the snowman, they all exclaimed.
The Iron Bull rolled on the ground, picked up the iron crowbar that he had left in the ice ditch, and smashed it on the snowman's calf.
Ding Lingling didn't care that this snowman was a rare creature, and she was about to pounce on it with two swords in her hand, when she suddenly heard two "pops", and Jack took out her pistol and fired two shots into the sky.
The sharp sound of the gunfire made the snowman stunned for a moment, and then he raised his foot and kicked the iron bull out again.
Poplar took advantage of this opportunity to stab another dagger on the snowman's wrist, and red blood immediately oozed from the snowman's wrist.
The snowman roared angrily and threw the poplar into the ice, lifting his foot like the aspen with a heavy step.
Poplar was thrown to the ground as if it were falling apart, but he had to roll twice on the ground, barely avoiding the snowman's first kick.
Ding Lingling screamed and rushed over, and the snowman raised his arm and sent Ding Lingling flying out again.
Suddenly, the light flashed, and two throwing knives came head-on, shooting into the snowman's hairy chest.
The snowman was so angry that a huge body jumped up, and with a "bang", it actually landed in front of Hongxing, and reached out and grabbed Hongxing's waist.
Hongxing never expected that this snowman would jump in front of her all at once, and she didn't have a chance to dodge, seeing that the snowman's vicious face was in front of her, but her waist was tightly grasped by a big hand of the snowman, Hongxing was only so frightened that she couldn't stop screaming.
The others yelled as well, and the Iron Bull pounced on it, slamming another crowbar on the snowman's back.
But the snowman didn't fight back when he was hit by this, but just unconsciously turned his head to look at Tie Niu, and then turned his face back to focus on Hongxing.
The Iron Bull was so anxious that he raised the crowbar again, and as soon as Poplar got up from the ground, seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the crowbar in the hand of the Iron Bull, and shouted, "Wait a minute, the snowman seems to be quiet!"
Tie Niu was comforted by the red apricot, and immediately went around to the snowman, but saw the snowman looking at the red apricot, and the originally angry eyes showed a confused look at the moment.
Hongxing also closed her mouth and didn't scream anymore, but looked at the big face covered with white hair in front of her with horror.
