The enormous azure divine bird hovered in midair, facing the Taotie King from afar. Its outspread wings whipped up fierce winds with every beat, bending the forest trees wildly and sending loose stones flying.
Watching the earth-shattering scene before them, the people on the ground felt their hearts, once dead with despair, begin beating again. A spark of hope for survival kindled in their hopeless eyes.
Ying Wenjie's eyes widened before he burst into ecstatic screams, his voice cracking as he waved his arms and stamped his feet. "It's the Three Blue Birds! It's the Three Blue Birds!"
Beside him, Professor Lin Song gave Ying Wenjie a puzzled look. "You know this divine beast?"
"Of course I do!" Ying Wenjie said excitedly. "It's the Queen Mother of the West's beast. I saw it on the High God's livestream. It's much bigger now, but how could I ever forget what it looks like?"
Qin Xiaoyu added, "It really is the Three Blue Birds." Professor Lin Song grew even more confused. A livestream? A High God?
What on earth were they talking about? How did a livestream come into this? And who was this mysterious "High God"? But no one had time to explain. Qin Zheng was already organizing their evacuation.
The instant the Taotie King saw the Three Blue Birds, its mocking, contemptuous expression vanished completely, and its blood-red pupils contracted.
Black mist churned violently around its body as it unleashed a deafening roar filled with fury.
With that roar, the Taotie King lost all interest in the people below. It kicked out with all four legs and lunged through the air at the Three Blue Birds, black light gleaming on its claws.
Another enormous fireball formed in its mouth and shot straight at the Three Blue Birds with world-destroying force!
