A vast, dark mass of Flying Creatures appeared in the southeastern sky.
Compared with the previous waves, these Flying Creatures were far more formidable in both number and size.
These Flying Creatures were pitch-black all over, with long, sharp feathers that clanged like metal in the whipping wind.
Their wingspans reached three or four meters, and they had four eyes. Their long beaks gleamed with a chilling light, like spearheads.
Amid the flock of strange black birds, a giant black bird five or six times their size soared like a fighter jet, leading the Flying Creatures toward the blood-red clouds ahead.
Watching the black flock draw closer, every pilot in the fighter jets wore a grim expression. "Attack!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the command, missiles roared from more than a dozen fighter jets, plunging into the black flock at tremendous speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huge clouds of flame and black smoke erupted within the flock, shattering its deathly silence.
"Roar!"
Countless strange cries rang out from the flock. Then the black birds scattered, seemingly at random, yet formed several dark clouds that swept toward the fighter jets to surround them.
"Watch out! Everyone, scatter!"
Seeing the situation turn dire, the fighter jets broke formation.
But as the jets separated, the strange black birds split into several groups and pursued them.
Several fighter jets failed to turn in time and plunged straight into the flock, where they were smashed to pieces.
Some pilots ejected, only to be devoured by the black birds before their parachutes could open, leaving not even their bones behind.
With tears in his eyes at the sight of his men dying so horribly, the flight leader operated his machine gun and raked the flock with bullets.
Yet weapons with that level of firepower were utterly useless against
