#593 - Chapter 591: Battle with the Void Bird
“It seems like there are quite a few.”
Song Jiang discovered something from the photos taken by the high-speed camera:
The number of Void Spirit Birds in the sky far exceeded their expectations.
According to Bu Luofen, he only saw a large bird with black feathers on its head and five or six small birds. However, the number taken down by just one wave of attacks had already exceeded a hundred.
At this moment, besides the crippled birds wailing on the ground, there were at least dozens more in the sky.
Oh my god, they originally thought there would only be about ten!
“It's okay, most of them are already dead, the remaining ones are not to be feared.”
Miao Kui was still detonating drone bombs filled with high-sugar water, constantly causing Void Spirit Birds to exit their ethereal state and suffer the ravages of artillery fire.
Even if they successfully withstood this first wave of impact, the real severe test was actually yet to come!
That extremely tempting, charmingly fragrant sugary blood aura was like a surging wave, continuously impacting and washing over their keen olfactory senses.
To the extent that their brains had to do their best every moment to restrain the impulses caused by their own nature, and they would leave the ethereal state with the slightest carelessness.
Restraining one's nature, it sounds simple, but how easy is it really?
When they smelled the blood mist permeating the air, all the Void Spirit Birds' eyes flashed with a light of ravenous hunger, like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for five whole days without a drop of water, revealing extreme greed and desire.
At this moment, a particularly large Void Spirit Bird could no longer suppress the impulse in its heart.
It raised its head and let out a long and sharp cry, instantly exiting its original ethereal state, and rushed straight towards the tempting blood mist like a bolt of lightning, opening its huge beak that was enough to devour everything, and sucking it up desperately.
This sudden action was like a fuse that ignited a powder keg, directly igniting the entire sky.
“Chirp!!!”
The remaining Void Spirit Birds, seeing this, also followed suit, scrambling to exit their ethereal forms and surging towards the source of the bloody smell in the air like a tide.
Every Void Spirit Bird used all their strength, desperately flapping their wings, sprinting forward at the fastest speed, vowing to get the biggest share in this bloody feast and drink as much blood mist as possible.
Even the drones that had not yet triggered their desires were now completely ignored by them.
Even if they knew that getting close might detonate the bombs, causing them to be smashed to pieces, this group of frenzied Void Spirit Birds completely disregarded it.
Even if they were ultimately blown to bits, they would still pounce on those drones at all costs, tearing them apart, just to be able to greedily suck the sweet and delicious sugar water inside.
Miao Kui, who was watching from below, sighed:
“As expected, this sugary water is really effective as something specifically designed to restrain them.”
“Damn, how is this any different from a dog seeing poop!”
Song Jiang previously thought that the allure of high-sugar water to them was only a little bit, but seeing this scene, he realized why humans were not afraid of Void Spirit Birds.
These Void Spirit Birds, without the protection of their ethereal state, were all extremely vulnerable to their attacks.
One shot crippled them, two shots ruined them, and three shots were guaranteed to kill them.
“Look, there's a Void Spirit Bird with golden feathers over there, much bigger than the others, and it can't help but exit its ethereal state. Watch me feed it some bullets.”
Just as Song Jiang picked up his Gatling gun loaded with chlorophytum bullets and aimed it at the golden old bird, Han Yinuo's voice suddenly came:
“Careful! Ice Wall!”
A several-meter-thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of the team.
Ding ling ling ling ling!
Instantly, thousands of golden feathers, like yellow lightning, struck the ice wall created by Han Yinuo at a speed beyond ordinary people's imagination, penetrating it to a depth of two meters.
“Damn! A bird that shoots feathers! It's a bit strong!”
The hardness of these ice blocks is comparable to Qi Jing's strongest defensive skill, the 'Ice Heart Technique'. One can imagine that if Qi Jing, who had activated the Ice Heart Technique, had taken this feather attack, his body would have been riddled with holes.
“Here it comes again!”
Han Yinuo poured all his Source Power into the ice wall in front of him, repairing it while enveloping the entire position.
A large number of golden feathers were shot out again.
The amazing thing was that they could even turn corners at such a high speed, attacking from all directions.
If Han Yinuo hadn't wrapped the entire position in time, they would definitely have been covered in wounds and become hedgehogs.
However, they still underestimated the Great Elder's control over his abilities.
These golden feathers directly penetrated the ground, made a bend under the ground, and then suddenly burst out from the ground, shooting at them from this tricky angle from below their feet.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
Fortunately, Qi Jing was here.
His Observation Haki foresaw the danger coming from the ground, and he immediately inserted the谪仙伞 (谪仙伞 is a proper noun, no need to translate) into the ground, then opened it and made it bigger, using its invincible defense to block this wave of attacks.
“A five-hundred-year-old ability beast? It's got something, but why doesn't it use the Void Spirit Bird clan's own mental attacks?”
As soon as Qi Jing's question came out, Shen Jianxin's appraisal had results:
“Its ability can create feathers out of thin air, it can make the feathers harden, it can manipulate the feathers at will, and people shot by the feathers will also suffer mental trauma. Its innate skills have been completely integrated into its ability. It can now only use feathers to shoot the opponent to carry out mental manipulation.”
After listening to Shen Jianxin's words, Qi Jing suddenly understood.
Older creatures will definitely reach the pinnacle in some aspects, so that other things will slowly become the shape they are most accustomed to, deeply ingrained.
Other Void Spirit Birds will directly use mental attacks through their brains, but this golden feather bird has gone so far on the path of feathers that it has completely integrated mental skills into it, and can no longer use them directly like other birds.
Just like older people know that poop is not clean, avoiding it when eating has become a nature, but children will not.
They can eat and poop at the same time.
“Can you beat it?” Qi Jing asked.
In his opinion, such an opponent was by no means something they could handle.
It was time for him to take the stage!
“To be honest, not really.”
Listening to the sound of feathers hitting the ground and looking at the ice wall in front of him that was about to be shattered, Han Yinuo said:
“Once we leave the protection of your umbrella, we will become sieves in less than a second.”
“We have a way!”
In Han Yinuo's shocked eyes, Tan Zuoyin shouted:
“Senior Sister Yin Ci, are you ready?”
“Yeah.”
She snapped her fingers, and a window suddenly appeared under Yin Ci's feet, sending her in.
At the same time, a window suddenly appeared behind the golden old bird.
Slash!
