Hold On for Ten Minutes...

We rushed into the Sea Cliff Ancient Castle, only to find it deserted. The entire building was in the Spain style and was relatively well-preserved.

The stone of the Sea Cliff Ancient Castle is very sturdy, and the strange birds will find it difficult to destroy it in a short time. However, it is not acceptable to let the strange birds peck at it. Once the entire castle is smashed to pieces, everyone will have nowhere to hide.

Upon entering, Nan Jue didn't think about dealing with the strange bird. Instead, she began searching around, though it was unclear what she was looking for.

After searching for a while, Nan Jue indeed found something useful and exclaimed with delight, "There's a barrier! This castle has a barrier! Buy me enough time, and I'll revive it. It can hold out for us for a while!"

The castle's protective barrier is extremely important to them in their current situation!

Upon hearing that there was still hope, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered. Ai Jiangtu quickly assigned everyone to different locations within the castle.

With sea cliffs on the back, the ocean below, and fortified castles on both sides, as long as we can hold off the enemy on one side, we're not completely without a fighting chance.

Tang Miao looked at everyone and said, "You all hold on for now, I need some time. Once I recover, you will all be saved."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback...

Zu Jiming, in particular, directly mocked, "You're not planning to preserve your magical energy so you can run away after we die, are you?"

Tang Miao glanced at him and sneered, "This strange bird has absolutely nothing to do with me. Even if I abandoned you and ran away, I wouldn't face any trouble."

Zu Jiming said with a hint of envy and jealousy, "I knew it, you wanted to run away!"

He realized that these strange birds did indeed have a target... and that target was them!

"Boom!"

Just as Zu Jiming finished speaking, a fierce bolt of lightning struck him directly.

Tang Miao looked at this "idiot" teammate and said in an extremely cold voice, "Don't test my limits. Next time, I'll take your life."

After warning Zu Jiming, Tang Miao turned to Ai Jiangtu and said, "You two go together. Ten minutes will be enough."

Ai Jiangtu didn't think Tang Miao wanted to run away. After all, if Tang Miao really wanted to run away, there was no need for him to come here.

Moreover, after hearing Tang Miao's words, he inexplicably felt more confident! Perhaps their situation wasn't as bad as it seemed...

Then, Ai Jiangtu didn't divide them into groups. Although some of the others didn't believe Tang Miao, judging from Zu Jiming's charred appearance, they were all certain that Tang Miao was serious...

Of course, there were also those who trusted Tang Miao, such as a few girls, as well as Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan.

Zhao Manyan trusted Tang Miao simply because he had been saved by her so many times.

Mo Fan believed Tang Miao because he had witnessed Tang Miao's Demon Element!

Actually, it was mostly because they all knew Tang Miao was right. This strange bird had almost nothing to do with him. Yet, he still came!

Even a cold and aloof goddess like Mu Ningxue felt a surge of emotion... She felt that Tang Miao was able to come here entirely because of her.

Jiang Shaoxu was even more narcissistic; she believed Tang Miao was a two-faced man! He clearly loved her, but he just wouldn't admit it?

If she didn't love him, why would Tang Miao get involved at a time like this?

At this moment, Tang Miao didn't have many thoughts. He sat in a quiet space in the castle.

Time ticked by, nine minutes had passed, but Little Flame Ji hadn't changed at all??

Tang Miao was a little puzzled!

You have to understand, Mo Fan fed Little Flame Ji the Liquid of Time much, much later than his own time! But, didn't she still evolve?

Why hasn't Little Flame Ji changed at all when it comes to me?

Tang Miao couldn't help but ask, "Girl, don't you have any reaction?"

If Little Flame Ji really can't evolve, then it means that his boasting just now will be proven wrong...

Most importantly, is it really something that can be solved simply by being proven wrong?

If 100,000 strange birds were to swoop down all at once, it would be almost unimaginable...

"Ring ring~~"

Little Flame Ji looked at Tang Miao with some confusion, indicating that she had not changed at all.

That puzzled little expression was absolutely adorable...

However, Tang Miao was in no mood to appreciate her cuteness at that moment.

In the distance, at the Royal Felipe Castle, General Mott stood atop the watchtower, his gaze fixed on the strange bird that blotted out the sky.

"Why haven't the strange birds dispersed after all this time?" the female staff officer in the black military uniform asked, somewhat surprised.

"Perhaps they are still alive," Osto said with some emotion.

The female strategist said with some disbelief, "How is that possible? So much time has passed. Do you think a group of mages in their twenties could resist such a huge tribe of strange birds?"

"They are much stronger and more resilient than we imagine."

Hearing the conversation between the two people next to him, Motte grew impatient. Actually, he'd much rather they just dropped the game...

Because if they didn't die, he would be in danger. He knew that they were people with extremely powerful backgrounds in Huaxia.

Then, as if telling himself, or perhaps to the two of them, he said, "They still have to die. Once they're dead, these Nazca Strange Birds will disappear, and everything will be peaceful again."

The instant he finished speaking, flames swirled around the ancient castle, like a dragon soaring into the sky, passing through the brown molten lava!

Moreover, a blurry figure appeared there, radiating intense flames!

The figure was breathtakingly beautiful, her long hair flowing freely, radiating a divine charm. Her pure feet trod upon a carpet of fire, untouched by the dust of the world...

Most importantly, the aura emanating from this figure almost completely overwhelmed any Demon Beast they had ever encountered... Even Great Monarch might not be able to compare.

"This... General??"

The female staff officer, stunned, asked, "What happened? What's going on? There seems to be a terrifying aura emanating from over there!"

Motte stared blankly at the distant castle, completely bewildered. He had no idea what had happened; he was utterly dumbfounded...

However, he still firmly believed in his heart that this was neither reinforcements nor a trump card. It was simply a Demon Beast that had suddenly appeared...

Inside the castle a few minutes ago...

When everyone had persisted for ten minutes and their magic energy was mostly depleted, they returned to normal.

Tang Miao went out alone, and then he unleashed various spells, beginning to single-handedly hold off the army of strange birds...

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Because they were still waiting to see Tang Miao unleash his ultimate move, but instead, they ended up fighting it out themselves?

However, Tang Miao didn't respond to the crowd's confusion. After all, sometimes saying too much can cause unnecessary trouble. There are always some idiots who will keep nagging...

Little Flame Ji wanted to go fight the enemy, but Tang Miao didn't take her. Because, right now, she was the only one left who could save their lives!

While Tang Miao was dealing with the strange bird tribe alone, everyone else began to rest.

Ai Jiangtu clearly didn't think this was Tang Miao's strength. However, Tang Miao had already said that they still needed to wait, and that he would be responsible for holding the line for a while, so there was naturally nothing more to say.

Actually, he originally wanted to be with her, but Tang Miao refused.

They're just here to rest!

What's even more bizarre is that this monster actually managed to stop an entire tribe of Demon Beast from breaking through the defenses? And three minutes have already passed...

Ai Jiangtu and the others were unaware that after Tang Miao appeared, he was casting Intermediate Magic and High-level Magic spells almost continuously. However, as time passed, the Little Flame Ji, who they thought would grow rapidly in a minute or two, hadn't grown at all!

Just as Tang Miao was about to pull Mo Fan out and make him use the Demon Element, a devastating flame suddenly shot into the sky from inside the castle!!!
