Chapter 249 "Dark Clouds" (First Update)

Fang Yuxin blinked and tried to hold back her tears. The tears in her eyes flashed away so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

The car was moving very fast, and everything around them was moving backwards. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye pulled away from each other and stopped leaning on him. Then she suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

The sky is clear blue, dotted with white clouds of various shapes, and everything is quiet and beautiful - if you ignore the cracked road.

Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes slightly, facing the light, and everything in front of her was slightly dark. If her body had not been strengthened, ordinary people would not even be able to open their eyes at this time.

Bai Ye's expression changed slightly. Fang Yuxin's approach and departure were like a dream to him. When Fang Yuxin leaned on his back, he didn't even have time to get excited, she had already left.

The time was too short. He just tasted the sweetness, but the taste instantly turned bitter, with some sourness mixed in. But before he felt disappointed, he realized something was wrong.

It's too quiet around here.

Apart from the sound of the locomotive, there was no other sound!

Bai Ye had a feeling that something was wrong, and he subconsciously looked up, but he could not see anything except the blue sky and white clouds.

Just then, he heard Fang Yuxin's deliberately low voice: "Stop the car, they are coming."

What are they? Before Bai Ye could ask, he heard the chaotic flapping of wings. He slammed the brakes, and the tires rubbed against the ground with a sharp scream.

At this moment, neither Bai Ye nor Fang Yuxin paid attention to the noise made by the car. They both jumped out of the car and looked up at the sky.

I don't know when a large dark cloud appeared in the sky. If you look closely, you will find that it is not a cloud at all, but a group of sparrows.

Judging from their appearance, they were a group of sparrows. However, compared to the small bodies of sparrows, which were no bigger than a fist, the birds in front of them were almost as big as chickens. Their gray-brown feathers were not pretty, and their originally thin claws and small beaks now looked as ferocious as iron hooks.

At a rough glance, the number of these sparrows must be tens of thousands!

Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin's faces turned ugly. Although they had thought about the existence of mutant birds before, they had only encountered one mutant bird along the way, and the other party did not attack at that time. But now, tens of thousands of mutant sparrows appeared in front of them. This number was really terrifying!

Bai Ye whispered to Fang Yuxin: "Do you have any ideas?" He could use sword energy and release electric nets, but he asked this question because he was worried about Fang Yuxin. After all, there were only two of them, and the number of the other side was too large. Bai Ye was worried that if the battle started, he would not be able to take care of Fang Yuxin at all.

Fang Yuxin thought for a moment and said, "I can use fire." Although she didn't have a fire spirit root, wood produces fire, so she could also use fire spells, but it was not as convenient as a cultivator with a fire spirit root. When she met Hongfen before, her strength was still in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and she couldn't use fire spells at will, and could only condense a small fireball. Now that she has entered the late stage of Qi Refining, she can barely give it a try.

but……

Fang Yuxin suddenly thought of rouge. She also knew that rouge was very large, and the floral fragrance it emitted had a confusing effect, so she might as well give it a try.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuxin immediately said to Bai Ye: "I have a new pet, you can let it try."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sparrows rushed down quickly. Bai Ye's face changed, and he instantly shot out an electric net in his hand, blocking him and Fang Yuxin's heads.

The sparrows in the front hit the electric fence, and "crackling" sounds were heard one after another. These sparrows were electrocuted into charcoal one by one.

At the same time, Fang Yuxin sent a message to Hongfen: "Hongfen! Go quickly!"

Hongfen had been living on the white jade bracelet that was Lanruo's incarnation. After hearing Fang Yuxin's voice transmission, she immediately shot out, fell to the ground, and quickly returned to her original appearance.

It had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy during this period, and with the addition of the pure wood energy that Fang Yuxin had passed on to it, its body had become a whole circle larger than before. So as soon as it showed its true form, Fang Yuxin discovered that it was even larger than before.

Hongfen seemed to be very covetous of those sparrows. She even controlled her body to keep rising higher, trying her best to open the flowers and reveal the hideous stamens.

The electric net released by Bai Ye had not disappeared yet. Hongfen was obviously very afraid of it. She stopped after rising for a while and "looked" at the huge electric net with caution.

The power grid is not a magic weapon, it is formed entirely of energy and cannot be put away. However, after Bai Ye knew that Fang Yuxin wanted to test Hongfen's strength, he stopped inputting spiritual energy into the power grid.

As more and more sparrows crashed into the electric grid and were charred by electricity, the spiritual energy attached to the grid became less and less, until it disappeared completely, and the entire grid dissipated silently in the air.

The sparrows were very afraid of the electric net. As soon as it disappeared, the remaining sparrows instantly rushed down from midair, rushing towards Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye like lightning. The two of them just watched a large group of black sparrows rushing down, as if they would be completely submerged by the sparrows in the next moment.

There was no fear on the faces of the two men. They even put away the knives and swords in their hands and looked at the approaching sparrow with vigilance.

However, just when the sparrow was about to rush in front of the two, the dormant Hongfen suddenly moved! Its branches continued to stretch, and in a blink of an eye, they intertwined into a huge net, protecting Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye in the middle.

The huge leaves overlapped each other, covering the flowers, leaving only the stamens with their mouths open, stretching out in the gaps between the leaves. The thick branches were full of thorns, which were not exposed, but cunningly hidden under the leaves, quietly dormant.

A large number of sparrows rushed down, opened their claws like iron hooks, and prepared to tear the leaves directly. However, when their claws touched the leaves, sharp thorns immediately pierced out from the gaps in the leaves, some directly pierced the sparrows' claws, and some were luckier and pierced the sparrows through.

The sparrows cried in panic, but the next moment, the stamens with open mouths pierced into their bodies, continuously absorbing their blood and flesh.

The sparrows' cries became more panicked, and they flapped their wings continuously, trying to break free, but soon, their bodies were pierced by more sharp thorns.

The remaining sparrows looked at this scene and stopped in fear, hesitating whether to leave or not. But at this moment, Bai Ye walked out from behind Hongfen.

With Hongfen's help, he and Fang Yuxin were obviously much more relaxed. Although there were many sparrows in front of them, they were not completely without natural enemies, so the two were not very worried.

Bai Ye deliberately stood out in order to take the opportunity to hone his sword skills.

In the modern society with rapid technological development, swords are no longer used as weapons, but have become more of displayed handicrafts or performance props.

Although Bai Ye can use many cold weapons, he is better at using knives than swords. Since he inherited the Dragon Scale Sword, he had to practice sword skills. Fortunately, he had a foundation in martial arts, and he was able to learn by analogy, so he finally mastered the sword skills in a short period of time.

He had just been promoted and needed to practice new sword skills, so now was an opportunity.

He doesn't want to miss it.

Fang Yuxin guessed his plan, so she didn't stop him. But then, she saw a group of sparrows suddenly rushing down from midair, rushing towards Bai Ye aggressively. In a blink of an eye, Bai Ye was surrounded by the group of sparrows. The sparrows surrounded him like a huge cocoon.

Fang Yuxin's heart suddenly lifted when she saw this. Then, she saw several sword energies coming out of the giant cocoon. As soon as those sword energies appeared, the entire giant cocoon was torn apart from the inside.

Dozens of sparrows were cut in half by the sword energy and fell heavily to the ground, splashing bright blood. But soon, more sparrows rushed down from midair to fill the gaps.

Fang Yuxin stopped looking at this point. She believed that Bai Ye would be fine. Bai Ye had already started his own battle, and it was her turn.

As she thought about this, she kept pinching her fingers. She didn't have a fire spirit root, nor did she have a fire spirit talisman. If she wanted to condense a flame, she had to use some hand gestures.

The hand gestures she made at this time were very complicated, and her fingers kept dancing, with a mysterious meaning in the rhythm. As her fingers danced, the fire attribute spiritual energy in the surrounding air gradually gathered towards her fingers.

Finally, a fireball as big as a basketball appeared in front of her.

Fang Yuxin took a deep breath and injected a stream of wood energy into the fireball. Wood produces fire, and with this stream of wood energy, the fireball instantly expanded to twice its original size.

Then, Fang Yuxin made the last hand gesture. At the moment of making the hand gesture, the fireball in front of her instantly exploded into countless large fireballs, passing over Hongfen and rushing towards the group of sparrows waiting in the air.

The magic used by Fang Yuxin was exactly the simplified version of "Sparks Setting the Prairie ablaze" that Qu Qianhe had used before. However, Fang Yuxin was a pure wood spirit, not a fire spirit. The time she took to cast the spell was more than twice as slow as Qu Qianhe's, and her control over fire was not as proficient as Qu Qianhe's.

Qu Qianhe could split the fireball into a point as big as a longan, but she could only split it into a point as big as a fist. Fortunately, she used wood energy to stimulate the fireball, making the fire stronger, and finally made up for it a little.

The sparrows in the air were crowded together, forming a dark "cloud". As soon as the fireballs were thrown, the sparrows immediately screamed and scattered. They were very fast and scattered in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, there were a lot of fireballs, and most of them hit the target, and only a few missed.

The sparrows were covered with dry feathers, which burned violently when they encountered the fireball. Soon, a strong aroma of barbecue filled the air.
