No one even knew that the matriarch was this big.
Before her, Shen Taofeng and his group felt like ants.
Her presence froze them for a few seconds until Shen Liqian and his vassals snapped them out of it.
Shen Liqian's Hydras gathered around him, turning him into a beast himself.
Shen Yiren and Shen Jixian flanked the fellow hunters and brandished their weapons to protect them.
Not even they considered fighting the final boss of their first hunt.
The Cold-mane Longhorn Matriarch reared up.
A raw hush fell over the hunters, awe and fear pinning their feet to the snow.
Darkness immediately fell over the forest.
As she slammed down, a violent tremor erupted, knocking everyone off balance except Shen Liqian.
Then ice shards billowed from her paws and hurtled toward Shen Liqian.
Brandishing his sword diagonally, Shen Liqian cut them all down.
His Hydras swirled around him, batting the shards aside as well.
After parrying every shard, Shen Liqian looked up, smiling.
