Although the poison has been removed, Su Xiao's heart muscle was fibrotic due to the surgery, and the process of healing the wound has also consumed her Qi and Blood, so she is not in good condition.

However, she wasn't in a hurry at all, after all, the man beside her was someone who could leave the Myriad Saints Alliance an hour behind in a short time!

In other words, even if you can't win, you can still escape!

"What should we do now, fight or not?" Su Xiao asked.

"We definitely have to fight!" Yang Ning said calmly. "After all, the map is so big, but there aren't many people participating in the trial. It's rare to have so many Purple Heart Stone delivered to our doorstep!"

"But they should also have Spirit Artifact. Are we a match for them?" Su Xiao asked. "Why don't we avoid confrontation for now and then wait for an opportunity to strike?"

"No problem!" Yang Ning laughed, "Your Snow Soul Rhombus Crystal Bracelet is made up of 32 parts, and each part is stronger than 32. The enemy only has 16. I can handle it!"

"Yes, is that so?" Su Xiao blinked. But the Snow Soul Rhombus Crystal Bracelet is a spiritual Spirit Artifact that only those with the Snow Jade Glazed Body can perfectly utilize at the Supernatural Power Realm. Can you really use it?

But since he said that, Su Xiao had no choice but to believe him.

At worst, we can just run!

"Besides, there are many ways to fight; we don't necessarily have to confront each other head-on!"

Yang Ning led Su Xiao to the entrance of the ruins cave and then pointed to the sky.

A jet-black Kite Eagle was circling above them.

"Watch me show you some skills!" Yang Ning laughed.

"Show off your skills? What's that?" Su Xiao blinked, and understood in the next second.

Yang Ning picked up a piece of Snow Soul and casually tossed it. The Snow Soul flew a long way through the air, and just as it was about to fall due to gravity, it suddenly rose against the wind and turned into a white line.

The Kite Eagle is also an intelligent species. When it sees something coming at it, it immediately tries to escape. Its flight speed is also very fast, reaching 320 meters per second.

The speed of the Snow Soul Rhombus Crystal Bracelet is 240 m/s!

The Snow Soul Rhombus Crystal Bracelet is not made of metal, but of Ice Marrow, which is non-conductive. Therefore, its speed cannot be increased by adding lightning. To accelerate it, one would have to upgrade the Qi Refining Device and then input Law Power.

But for some reason, when the Spirit Artifact came at it, the Kite Eagle suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, the snow crystal, which was as sharp as a blade, pierced through its wing. Immediately afterwards, the power of frost froze half of the Kite Eagle's wing. The Kite Eagle lost its balance in an instant and fell down in a spin!

"Amazing!" Su Xiao's eyes lit up. The precision, the speed, and that first move—it was so cool!

It's not surprising that people can operate Spirit Artifact, but everyone usually activates Spirit Artifact from their hands or the ground in a proper manner. Who would have thought there was such a cool way to activate them—throwing them out first and then making them move?

"How was it? Pretty impressive, huh?" Yang Ning asked.

"That's amazing!" Su Xiao gave a thumbs up. "I'm dazzled!"

"It's not that bad, there's only one!" Yang Ning waved his hand and said, "I'll pick up the eagle first."

Hmm? That eagle?

A background music automatically started playing in my ears:

I was sentenced to a lifetime of loneliness by love.

I won't let go until I fight back!!

The Kite Eagle is an eagle with a white head, belly, and feet, and black wings. It is related to the bald eagle, which has a white head and white tail, but their appearances are quite different.

The Kite Eagle that Yang Ning caught was 1.4 meters tall with a wingspan of nearly 2 meters.

On Earth, an eagle of this size would definitely be an adult, but in the Taiheng Realm, it is still a fledgling eagle.

"What's wrong? Are you really Qi Ingestion?" Yang Ning asked with a smile.

"Ouch! I was ambushed!" The Kite Eagle stretched out its wings, trying to peck at Yang Ning, but Yang Ning reacted quickly, grabbing its sharp beak and lifting it up.

The Kite Eagle struggled desperately, but was then electrocuted by the sudden surge of electricity from Yang Ning's hand, which immediately subdued it.

"Look what I caught! Dinner's sorted!" Yang Ning brought the Kite Eagle to Su Xiao face lit up with joy. "I know many ways to cook Kite Eagle," she said. "I'll prepare it!"

"Waaah!" The eagle, which had been so proud and arrogant just moments before, suddenly became anxious. Even if you don't interrogate me, you should at least offer some conditions and give me some food to subdue me! I am a very precious spirit beast, and I am treated like a treasure in the Myriad Saints Alliance!

"What, are you going to make demands? Do you want to be stewed or barbecued?" Yang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I think barbecued is better. After all, in this weather, barbecue and beer go best together!"

"Eek!" The Kite Eagle immediately struggled to flap its wings. I didn't mention any conditions, don't misinterpret!

"What? You want to be boiled?" Yang Ning asked again.

The Kite Eagle shook its head frantically, "No, I didn't say that! He's slandering me!"

"Pfft!" Su Xiao, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled. "I bet he's saying he doesn't want to die and is willing to follow us?"

"Mmm-hmm!" The Kite Eagle nodded immediately. Although it was initially quite defiant, it was better to be alive than to be boiled!

It's not a person, so it doesn't have any sense of immorality!

"Is that what you mean?" Yang Ning looked bewildered. "It's an eagle from the territory of the Myriad Saints Alliance, are you sure you didn't translate it wrong?"

"We've been fighting against the Myriad Saints Alliance for so many years, so of course we know the All Saints Language!" Su Xiao laughed, "There's no mistake!"

"So, you're willing to follow us?" Yang Ning looked at the Kite Eagle again.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Kite Eagle nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right!"

"Isn't that a bit spineless? I haven't even used any tricks yet and you've already surrendered. What will you do when you encounter an even stronger enemy? Won't you betray me again?" Yang Ning asked.

"I was captured by those people, I have no feelings for them!" The Kite Eagle chirped in its bird language, while Su Xiao translated.

Once you reach the Ninth Level of Body Refinement, humans and animals can communicate through Spiritual Manifestation, so the idea that Yang Ning doesn't understand is simply not true.

It was all just a coordinated effort to capture the eagle.

After all, even a piece of toilet paper has its uses, let alone a spirit beast that has gained intelligence.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, it's just a try!

Unexpectedly, Su Xiao was able to cooperate perfectly with Yang Ning Su Xiao without even discussing it with him.

"So don't worry, I promise I won't betray you once I'm with you!" the Kite Eagle vowed confidently. "You must believe me, I'm a spirit beast, I don't lie!"

"I see!" Yang Ning nodded. "I believe you. From now on, you'll be my spirit beast. By the way, what's your name?"

"Waaah!"

"Little Black, right?" Yang Ning nodded. "I understand!"

"Who calls me Little Black?!" the Kite Eagle protested angrily. "At the very least, I should be called Little White!"

But Yang Ning ignored its cries and asked, "What is your purpose here? You're not here to participate in the trial, are you?"

"Waaah," it's only gained intelligence, but it's still far from being as intelligent as humans; how could it know so much?

"I see!" Yang Ning shook his head and said, "They have 16 people, and we only have two. Now, with you included, we barely make two and a half, so your task is very important. You should be recovered by now. I'll give you a Spirit Artifact. You can use it to fly in the sky; it can help us scout out the situation of the Myriad Saints Alliance disciples below!"

Yang Ning took out a round, white jade-colored bead that looked extremely high-grade and handed it to the Kite Eagle, then solemnly instructed it, "You must fly high. Remember, this bead is very important; it absolutely cannot fall into the enemy's hands!"

The Kite Eagle was taken aback. Let me go?

Then he nodded excitedly. "I understand!"

"Okay!" Yang Ning nodded. "Everything is in your hands now. We'll wait for you to come back so we can devise a battle plan. If we can defeat 16 of them with only two and a half, it will shock the entire Taiheng Realm. You'll be the biggest hero then!"

"Mmm!" The Kite Eagle grabbed the bead. "Shall we set off now?"

Yes, keep it up!

"Mmm!" The Kite Eagle excitedly flapped its wings and instantly left the ruins.

After flying quite a distance, the Kite Eagle let out another sharp cry.

"It's cursing you!" Su Xiao laughed.

Yang Ning chuckled, "Let them curse, why bother arguing with a dead eagle!"

I just didn't expect the spirit beasts in the Taiheng Realm to Huineng.

Not only can the cranes in the Taiheng Sect communicate normally with humans, but even a Kite Eagle understands the principle of enduring hardship and biding its time!

But the Kite Eagle went full throttle and arrived at its master in less than a minute.

"You're back!" The disciple excitedly reached out and caught the Kite Eagle, then asked, "I saw you get knocked down just now, it gave me quite a fright!"

Then he looked down at the Kite Eagle's feet. "What's this?"

"I wasn't knocked down; I bent down myself. This is that person's Spirit Artifact; I snatched it back!" The Kite Eagle proudly raised its head, handing over the bead to boast. What do you mean, "captured"? I wasn't captured!

I went down by myself, okay?

"Spirit Artifact?" Its owner was taken aback and picked up the bead.

The disciples nearby also gathered around, curiously examining the bead.

Judging by its appearance alone, this bead does indeed resemble Spirit Artifact, but it doesn't bear any trace of runes or formations. Could it be some kind of special Spirit Artifact?

"This bead looks like a Dragon Pearl!"

"What idiot would turn the Dragon Pearl into Spirit Artifact?"

"Let me see!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't move!" The Kite Eagle's owner immediately stopped the outstretched hand. "This is what Ye brought back, it's mine!"

As he spoke, he proudly stroked the cool texture of the beads.

Compared to ordinary artifacts forged on a forging table, the artifacts that Yang Ning meticulously crafted did indeed resemble Spirit Artifact, and even looked and felt more exquisite than Spirit Artifact.

But

"There seems to be something hissing inside this thing!" someone suddenly said.

His lineage has a special training method in the Five Senses Realm, which results in exceptional hearing.

"What was that sound?" The Kite Eagle's owner raised the bead, held it to his ear, and then...

"It really is making a sound, and this sound..."

What was that sound?

The Kite Eagle's owner frowned, deep in thought. The voice sounded familiar, but he just couldn't place it.

Suddenly, the bead in his hand trembled violently, accompanied by surging flames, intense vibrations, a roar, and a shockwave. The bead exploded!

"Ah!" he screamed, finally understanding what that sound was.

Isn't that the sizzling sound made when Explosion Talisman is activated?

The sound just sounded a bit distorted in the enclosed space.

However, at this moment, he was no longer conscious of thinking about these things!

"What's this?"

"Sky Thunder Seed?"

On the sand dunes after the explosion, a group of people stared blankly at the huge crater in the center of the crowd, which was at least four or five meters in diameter.

There were also corpses and feathers scattered all over the pit.

Three people died on the spot, and six were seriously injured, their bodies covered with scratches and burns.

The other seven people, because they were standing further away and had teammates in front of them to shield them, were only shaken but not seriously injured.

However, when they arrived, there were 16 of them, full of bravado and looking like they were going to swallow the whole group whole. Now, they haven't even seen the enemy's face and nine of them have been wiped out!

"This is... the trial?" someone asked, their voice trembling with tears, their face filled with bewilderment.

"What are you crying about?!" someone nearby said angrily. "It's just a few good-for-nothings who died. This is the Great Tai Array! A place where you can encounter danger at any time. What did they do to dare to take other people's things? They deserved to die!"

"But."

"No buts! Cheer up! Our enemy is no ordinary foe!" the man continued. "His lover was poisoned and is probably dead by now. Yet, he hasn't lost his mind; instead, he's managed to set up this trap using Kite Eagle. That shows how calm and terrifying he is!"

"Now is not the time to cry. Don't think we're invincible just because we come from the Myriad Saints Alliance. Within the Great Tai Array, the gap between sects isn't that big!"

The Myriad Saints Alliance faces fierce internal competition and its survival is precarious.

To embark on the path of cultivation means to undergo rigorous selection and endure numerous hardships.

The death of a few team members was not enough to break the morale of the team. Soon, someone stepped forward, arranging defenses and guard posts while treating the wounded.

His name is Matvey, a disciple of the Black Blood Lineage the Body Refinement Realm, with the Divine Sea Realm cultivation.

He was happiest when his teammates died, because their cultivation required human blood, and his teammates' blood was also blood!

However, he had to suppress his smile and pretend to be grief-stricken. Fortunately, because he was happy, he was the most rational person present.

Before long, the six survivors had been bandaged up, and even those who were missing arms or legs had their limbs put back in place.

Since there are no professional doctors on the team, whether the injury can be fully recovered depends entirely on the injured player's own ability to control their Qi and Blood.

Matvey looked again at the feathers and an eagle's leg on the ground. The Kite Eagle had also been killed, so they had lost their guide and didn't know where the enemy was.

Without the guidance of the Kite Eagle, they would have a hard time even getting out of the desert.

It's so hot, and we're so far from the city!

Of course, one could leave at night with the help of the stars, but it's morning now, and there are still about five hours until nightfall!

So after Matvey learned about the situation, he somewhat regretted stepping forward.

This leader is difficult to manage!

"Where should we go next?" someone asked.

"Continue in the original direction, there are ruins there!" Matvey said. "We need some shade to wait for the wounded to recover!"

"But that person has occupied that place!" someone said.

"He's alone, we still have thirteen!" Matvey said calmly. "If he were truly powerful, he wouldn't have resorted to such underhanded tactics. So his strength is nothing special. Find him, attack him together, and kill him!"

"Yes, huh?" The one with the keenest hearing frowned. "What's that sound now?"

"What?" Matvey was taken aback, and soon he also heard the strange sound.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, buzzing, it sounds like something is flying at high speed?

Matvey suddenly looked up and saw snowflake-shaped diamonds flying at high speed from the direction of the ruins, with white jade beads hanging below them, heading straight for them!

"What, what is this?" Matvey was completely bewildered!

In all my life, I've never seen an attack like this before.

I've been updating for a while now, and my head is spinning. I slept all day yesterday.

But after checking my results, I'm motivated again.

I'm going to bed now. I'll update when I wake up. Today I need to catch up on yesterday's post, so it'll be 20,000 words. We'll see how I do!
