On the other side.
Jiang You's eyes were tightly shut, yet everything happening above the park was within her line of sight.
A crow landed on Lord Yan Chi's shoulder and gestured twice.
He suddenly looked up in a certain direction, controlling the corpses to emerge from the shadows and switch positions again.
Zhang Shuhui steadily followed beside him. She opened her protective shield and enclosed him within it.
The Cult Master had said that the main force on the ground was those corpses—and the corpses were controlled by Lord Yan Chi.
So they had to avoid disturbing him as much as possible.
Zhang Shuhui's mission was to withstand every attack for him.
Looking at the large birds drawing closer and closer, Zhang Shuhui frowned.
"Lord Yan Chi, those birdmen are in the sky. How are we supposed to fight them?"
Lord Yan Chi stared coldly at the mutant birds in the air.
"What else can we do? Drag them down and beat them!"
There was not a trace of his usual playfulness in his expression. Only a beast-like ruthlessness remained in his eyes.
The mutant birds were in the sky. At this moment, the riders could see only Jiang You standing in midair and had yet to notice the others hiding in the shadows.
Just after they crossed into the park's perimeter,
the corpses swiftly spread out all around them.
Lord Yan Chi spread both arms. Flames suddenly ignited in his palms, then grew brighter and more ferocious.
"BOOM!!!!"
A fire dragon rose from the ground and shot into the sky with an unstoppable force.
Then it suddenly flew toward the group of mutant birds.
The scorching flames rushed straight into their faces!
"Not good!! A fire Ability user!!"
The Ability users from White Dragon Base immediately formed layers of frost barriers to block the flames.
Even so, several mutant birds were forcibly pressed down by the fire dragon. Before they could reach the ground,
their feathers instantly caught fire the moment the flames wrapped around them.
Feathers were the easiest thing in the world to burn.
Amid the shrill, desperate cries of the birds, the air filled with the smell of singed chicken feathers.
Da Zhuang drooled with hunger.
As the mutant birds dropped lower, a group of corpses charged out from all directions below, attacking the mutant birds and the Ability users on their backs in the simplest and most brutal way.
The sharp beaks and claws tore open wounds across the corpses' bodies, exposing their mangled flesh.
There was also a huge mutant leopard cat.
It rushed out and bit the head off a mutant bird in one snap.
"Roar roar!!!!"
"Meeeow!!!"
Zhang Shuhui shouted, "The Cult Master said to kill without mercy! Everyone, attack!!!"
She was eager to join in, but she had to serve as Lord Yan Chi's protective shield and therefore had no chance to draw her knife.
She was even more excited than the others.
Behind her thick lenses, her eyes gleamed like a weasel's.
The great battle erupted!
Gu Mingyuan looked toward the figure with fiery red hair who was controlling the fire dragon.
He instantly recognized him as the person the base wanted.
That corpse creator—these corpses should all have been created by her.
As long as they captured him, White Dragon Base would be able to manufacture corpses endlessly in the future!
"Capture that fire Ability user alive!!"
"Capture him, and you'll be heavily rewarded!!"
"Catch that redhead!"
He was the first to drive his flying mount into a dive.
All kinds of ice spikes, flames, and lightning descended around Lord Yan Chi at the same time, instantly burying him completely.
"You idiots! Capture him alive! Capture him alive!"
"How are we supposed to answer to the base if you kill him!!"
Gu Mingyuan roared furiously.
Responding to the demands of our many readers, we have now launched the VIP member ad-free function.
Click to view.
However, once the smoke cleared, he discovered that the man was still standing there completely unharmed.
Beside him, a bespectacled woman had clenched both fists and propped up a strange barrier.
It enclosed the two of them inside.
All the attacks struck directly against the barrier and could not get anywhere near them!
The woman glared at him provocatively and raised an obscene hand gesture in his direction.
"What kind of person is this?!!"
Gu Mingyuan gripped his axe tightly, his eyes wide open.
"Abilities are finite in the end. I refuse to believe you can withstand endless attacks!"
Lord Yan Chi was protected inside Zhang Shuhui's shield.
He focused on controlling the fire dragon, attempting to drag down the remaining mutant birds.
However, the mutant birds were on guard now.
After the first attack from the fire dragon, all the Ability users from White Dragon Base controlled their mutant birds and scattered in every direction.
The flock dispersed, breaking into smaller groups.
The fire dragon could pursue only one mutant bird at a time, causing its efficiency to drop drastically.
Moreover, the mutant birds were very fast and difficult to catch.
Some of the flying birds tangled with the fire dragon, while the rest attacked Jiang You directly.
All those attacks were blocked by the branches of the man-eating tree. Jiang You looked as if she had not done anything at all.
But what no one noticed was that
after the last Ability user from White Dragon Base crossed into the small park,
the breeze slowly gathered and rose, using the lakeside as its boundary.
The instant Jiang You opened her eyes, a wild wind howled.
She abruptly raised both hands, then slammed them down toward the ground.
"All of you, get the hell down!!"
Tornadoes whipped around the area, rising directly from the ground and converging in the air to form a transparent, semicircular barrier.
It trapped all the Ability users from White Dragon Base inside the wind formation.
When some flying mounts realized that something was wrong and tried to escape,
a tearing tornado suddenly rose from the ground. They tried to fly upward,
only to be dragged back down by one wind dragon after another. Even as the mutant birds flapped desperately, they sank lower and lower.
During the time Lord Yan Chi had spent tangling with those people,
Jiang You had used the wind as a screen to construct a transparent cage.
Within the wind formation, smaller wind dragons shot into the sky, extinguishing the earlier flames and dragging the flying mounts one by one toward the ground.
With Zhang Shuhui's support, Lord Yan Chi had no worries at all and unleashed his full power.
With a sweep of his arm, the flames formed a blade and shot straight toward Gu Mingyuan.
"I'll kill you!!!"
In an instant, everyone from White Dragon Base went from hunters to trapped beasts in a cage.
The flying mount beneath Gu Mingxi let out a sharp cry as two interlocking wind dragons tore its wings apart.
The flying mount plummeted and smashed heavily into the ground.
The moment the flying mount hit the ground, Gu Mingxi leaped off and rolled several times across the ground.
Thanks to the cushioning, she had not suffered any serious injuries.
She had only gotten some snow on her body, and her hair was disheveled, making her look somewhat disheveled.
"Damn thing, just what kind of monster is this Jiang You?!"
She raised her head and looked at the woman standing in the air. Under Jiang You's control, the wind completely exceeded her understanding.
A Wind Ability user?!
Damn it, Gu Mingxi had never seen such a sinister Wind Ability user!
She had actually used the wind to construct a barrier trapping the flying mounts, while controlling small tornadoes to disrupt their directions and drag them one by one toward the ground.
The flying mounts were their advantage.
But now, that advantage had vanished completely.
When Gu Mingxi fell, the four guards immediately jumped off their flying mounts and landed around her.
They protected her in the center.
"Miss Mingxi, are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Nothing serious—I just took a tumble."
Gu Mingxi shook her somewhat numb shoulder.
