The moment the tiny vortex left the hull, it seemed to break free of its shackles, swelling, spinning, and howling wildly high in the sky!
In just a few breaths.
The once-insignificant little vortex had become a colossal cyclone that towered between heaven and earth.
It churned the clouds wildly, the wind shrieking like wailing ghosts and howling wolves!
"Is this... the beginning of a typhoon?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
The cyclone devoured and swept up the surrounding air, spinning ever more violently.
A devastating gale came sweeping in with a roar, making the entire Balloon Octopus shake violently and creak like tearing canvas.
Wild joy instantly surged through everyone's hearts.
The Balloon Octopus floated in the air, relying entirely on the wind to drift along, without any propulsion of its own.
It could only go with the flow, like a fish on a chopping block.
And now, Chen Chunyan's hurricane had filled that fatal gap perfectly!
As long as the wind was strong enough, they could completely escape the Eeries pursuing them on the ground and head straight for the open ocean!
However-
Before anyone could truly breathe a sigh of relief.
An utterly shrill roar, piercing to the marrow, suddenly erupted from deep within the clouds!
It sounded nothing like a lion's roar, a wolf's howl, or even a bat's shriek.
Instead... countless human voices, bestial roars, and piercing cries mingled together, densely layered over one another.
The sound made their scalps prickle and every hair on their bodies stand on end!
It was bone-chilling!
"This is bad!"
Cao Xianming's expression changed abruptly, and he shouted, a trace of urgency in his voice:
"They've noticed!"
"Those Eeries have realized we're trying to escape! They're launching their all-out assault early!"
"Yang Yong, Wang Ying!"
Cao Xianming shouted himself hoarse.
