Strange Birds Attack

No one dared to get too close to the lightning storm, but apart from this magnificent black lightning storm, there was nothing else in the entire ruined city worth exploring. There were no ancient treasures, no elemental anomalies, and not even any demons guarding the Demon Beast.

Demon Beast are also quite pragmatic; there's nothing worth exploring in this area, so naturally they won't live here.

After searching for so many days, it was quite disappointing. After all, they had wandered around here for so many days and gone through so much trouble to get in, and this was all they got?

After searching for about half a day, the ruins turned out to be nothing more than a pile of broken stones. Apart from Nan Jue finding some inscriptions that interested her on some broken stone pillars, the others found nothing.

"There's nothing here! Who said this was a virgin land!"

"I told you long ago, we shouldn't have come to this lousy place."

"No one forced you to come."

"..."

Having gained nothing, the group naturally began to complain in dissatisfaction. Gradually, this escalated into an argument...

After observing the situation, Nan Jue said calmly, "Let's sit down and rest for a while. We'll check again tomorrow. If there's still nothing, we'll probably have to head back."

Nan Jue had already spoken, so no one else said anything. After all, she was practically the vice-captain of the team.

The group then sat down on the ground and began to rest.

"Pyrimpy!!"

"Pyrimpy!!"

"Pyrimpyrimpyrimpy!!"

Suddenly, a sharp sound, like lightning ripping through the sky, came from afar. At first, it was just a few sounds, but it quickly turned into a chorus of cries, instantly startling everyone who was resting!

The next moment, everyone simultaneously looked up at the sky!

It was just as the sun was about to set, and the orange glow of the setting sun dyed the clear, cloudless sky a beautiful orange-red, with a sense of depth.

The earth's surface and the surrounding high-altitude land are orange, which complements the sunset sky. However, on this vast and boundless canvas of orange and red, many uninvited guests have appeared. They have emerald green bodies, as beautiful and smooth as jade, but their wings are completely blue, and both their feathers and down look exceptionally neat.

When they fly here in flocks, it feels like emerald clouds and blue silk cloth are gradually covering the sunset sky and getting closer!

Just as Tang Miao and Mu Nujiao wondering what was going on, Mo Fan suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it, it's them again! And this time there are even more of them!"

Zhao Manyan also clutched his head and cried out in alarm, "Are you kidding me? We've gone so far already, are these things just going to fly through the airspace of those Great Demon like that?!"

Normally, if a flying Demon Beast controlled the airspace, it would be subjected to a fierce attack if it were to use another Demon Beast's route. But... these strange birds seemed completely unharmed and even pursued us?

Moreover, this time the quantity seems to be even greater than the last time!?

Jiang Yu looked around, somewhat devastated, and said, "It's over, it's over! We're in such an open space this time, without any cover at all. How are we supposed to fight them?!"

"Oh my god, they have it in this direction too."

"There are some here too! Oh no, we're surrounded!"

As Tang Miao listened to their conversation and looked around at the strange birds with emerald green bodies and blue wings, she felt a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite place them. What exactly was going on?

Mu Nujiao, now somewhat frightened, approached Tang Miao. She was an innocent bystander; after all, she had only just arrived for her training, so how had she ended up being dragged into this Demon Beast siege?

"Can't any of you tell me what's going on?" Tang Miao said, pursing her lips as she looked at everyone.

The number of strange birds was astonishing, at least eight thousand if not ten thousand, making it an absolutely massive Demon Beast army. However, he had killed tens of thousands of demons over the years, so he wasn't too panicked.

Zhao Manyan, standing beside him, said, "About a month ago, not long after we arrived in Peru, we accidentally wandered into a place that the locals called a restricted area. We were then relentlessly pursued by these strange birds. At first, there were only a few dozen, which we easily wiped out. Later, when there were hundreds, we dealt with them as well. Then, when we were in the city, these strange birds actually came after us, but they were wiped out by the Peru city's defenses, triggering an orange alert... And then, oh, and then it's now!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao paused. Although she couldn't figure out what she had forgotten, the most important thing right now was to solve the problem.

The strange bird drew closer, looming over them like a cloud.

Having run out of ideas, the wise Nan Jue looked at Ai Jiangtu with a grim expression and asked, "What should we do?"

Let alone these tens of thousands of strange birds, even if there were only a thousand of them, without any cover, they would be no match for them!

After all, not everyone's magic is as uninterrupted as Tang Miao's.

Ai Jiangtu stared at Nan Jue with a livid expression and said, "If you had to choose, would you rather fight this army of strange birds or go into the lightning storm?"

Before Nan Jue could speak, Jiang Shaoxu shouted, "Captain, are you crazy? This lightning storm's destructive power is comparable to Super Level Magic! We're doomed if we go in!"

Ai Jiangtu paused, then said very seriously, "We shouldn't go that deep. To put it bluntly, we need to go into a range that we can handle but these strange birds can't... This is the only way I can think of. If you don't want to be devoured by these strange birds in five minutes, hurry up and follow me to the lightning storm zone."

The others had no choice. As Ai Jiangtu said, there were still many unknowns in the Lightning Storm Zone, but fighting against an army of nearly ten thousand strange birds in this open space would surely result in death!

Immediately, everyone sprinted towards the lightning storm, even though they knew it was a near-certain death situation. They had no choice; if they didn't run, they would surely die.

"Zzz..."

"Zzz..."

The moment he entered, a burst of lightning suddenly descended, its power comparable to that of his own domain!

Furthermore, the wind was so strong it felt like blades, stinging even the face... Just as Tang Miao stepped into this place, he noticed the bead becoming even more agitated. This amount of lightning and wind blades posed little threat to him; he easily deflected them.

"Pym~!!"

"Pym~!!"
