But what they didn't know was that the avalanche was but a small issue; the real problem was the thing that caused it.
A massive white serpent's head emerged from the mountain entrance, flicking its tongue as it peered around.
This snake's body was immense, with an estimated diameter of over ten meters, and its length was even more unfathomable, as its tail was nowhere in sight.
As the white snake's head emerged, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
In the small mountain village on the slope, nobody dared to breathe loudly, afraid of drawing the white snake's attention.
Judging by the white snake's size and aura, it was definitely an Apostle Level demon, far beyond what the people present could handle.
Herag's expression was solemn. He had only heard sounds earlier but hadn't seen anything from his environmental detection.
By the time he saw it, the white snake had already reached the mountain entrance.
It moved so quickly that Herag couldn't react in time.
If he had known what it was earlier, he would have fled without hesitation.
The white snake appeared large and slow-moving, yet it was incredibly fast.
Herag remained still, as the white snake seemed not to have noticed them yet.
Careless movements might attract the white snake's attention, putting everyone in danger.
The white snake flicked its tongue, probing as if searching for something.
Watching the massive serpent, Herag suddenly thought that perhaps the Alster Mountain Range wasn't devoid of wizards; they might have all been wiped out by this white snake.
It would take at least a Level 2 Wizard to manage this white snake. Anything below that is just walking into death.
The white snake probed forward, dragging more of its enormous body from the mountain, making it even more visible.
Seeing its massive body, everyone took a sharp breath.
The snake's length seemed enough to encircle the entire Amy City.
The small mountain village where Herag and the others were located was diagonally opposite the left side of the Alster Mountain Range. The white snake's head was looking to the right, so it hadn't noticed the people on the small slope for now.
No one dared to make a sound, fearing to attract the creature's attention.
After the white snake emerged, it moved to the right, its thick body like a city wall.
It seemed not to have noticed the people on the small slope, moving towards the right.
The group silently waited for the white snake to pass. Although the snake moved quickly, every second felt excruciatingly long.
Gradually, the white snake's body completely vanished from sight, seeming to have moved far away.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Many mountain guards realized their legs were weak and couldn't walk.
They were just ordinary people, unable to withstand the overwhelming aura of the white snake.
The fact that they didn't collapse was already remarkable.
"Herag..." Jim's mouth was dry as he turned to speak to Herag but found him shocked, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Jim asked, puzzled.
He suddenly noticed the sky seemed to darken, the sun obscured by clouds, though it hadn't been snowing.
Jim instinctively looked up, freezing in place at what he saw.
He felt as if his body was being pricked by needles, an extreme danger signal, a primal warning response.
A giant snake's head loomed over the slope, the white snake emerging from behind the mountain, its snake eyes emotionlessly observing them.
"Run!"
Herag shouted, jolting everyone awake.
In a flash, he used space travel to appear at the foot of the slope.
Others finally reacted, Herag's shout pulling them out of the snake's oppressive aura.
Jim was the second to react and move, quickly running down the slope.
The white snake's head crashed down, smashing several mountain guards into the ground, killing them on the spot.
A few lucky guards weren't hit and scattered to flee.
The white snake raised its head, watching the fleeing guards, its snake eyes flashing, freezing them in place instantly.
Soon after, cracks appeared on their bodies, breaking them into pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.
It looked as if statues had been smashed by a hammer.
This all happened in an instant, all the guards perished.
Only Jim and Herag were left running.
Herag, using space travel, had reached the mountain's base in the meantime, heading outwards.
The white snake, focused on him, ignored Jim, crushing through the forest in pursuit.
Moving swiftly, the snake was soon behind Herag, its mouth opening wide to bite.
Although Herag didn't look back, he constantly monitored his surroundings for the snake's movements.
As the snake lunged, he used space travel to dodge, reappearing a hundred meters away.
The Spirit of the White Deer talent was perfect for escaping; otherwise, that white deer would not have been so elusive.
A party of elite Crystalization Wizards pursued relentlessly but couldn't capture the white deer, all due to this talent.
Herag relied on this talent to repeatedly evade the snake's attacks.
However, the White Deer's Spirit's space travel had limitations, primarily its short range.
A hundred meters might seem far normally, but it was too short when dealing with a behemoth like the white snake.
Each time Herag dodged, the snake could catch up instantly, unable to shake it off.
After a few failed attempts, the snake's eyes began to flash with energy.
Herag knew what this meant, having witnessed the scene on the slope.
"Absolute Defense!"
"Titan Power!"
Herag transformed into a giant, with colorful shields appearing around his body.
Although he didn't know how the snake's eyes caused people to shatter, enhancing his constitution could only help.
If he had the opportunity, Herag would have considered taking a sample to study the bloodline.
But escaping took priority, leaving no room for such actions.
After the snake's eyes flashed, Herag felt an intense weight, as if something was pressing in from all directions.
The Absolute Defense shield fluctuated, indicating it was under pressure.
