Chapter 396: Bite Back

The huge tornado hanging in the air was very shocking, especially those dense black spots. As long as you get closer, you will find that those things are actually all mutant birds. Some of these mutant birds are quite large, while others are relatively small. When you get closer, the dense black spots are even more shocking.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye took another look and realized that this should be a small base, not very large. Outside the protective wall, a group of mutant beasts were attacking frantically. Some mutant beasts opened their mouths and continuously shot out wind blades or ice arrows. From time to time, people on the wall would be injured. Once these people lost their balance and fell down, the mutant beasts would madly surround them and devour them.

The originally white snow was now trampled into a mess due to the battle, and there were large patches of blood, which was shocking. In addition to the protective wall, many people in the base were also injured, which should be the work of the mutant birds in the sky.

Although Fang Yuyang released a huge tornado that swept a large number of mutant birds, many mutant birds still clung to people and pecked at them with their sharp beaks. The surrounding snow was also covered with large amounts of blood, and there were miserable screams one after another, which was very frightening.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye did not dare to look any further, and took out their weapons quietly while those people were busy dealing with the mutant beasts or mutant birds. Bai Ye rode on Bai Er and rushed directly towards the mutant beasts, while Fang Yuxin patted Angela's furry head and rode on it to rush towards the protective wall.

Although this base is small, the protective wall is still built very high, ten meters, which is about the height of a three-story building. Originally, a pit was dug outside the protective wall, but due to the snow, the pit was almost full of fallen snow. The weather was too cold, and the snow would not melt, so it just piled up in the pit.

However, Fang Yuxin took a look and found that the snow in some places had been cleared. It was obvious that the people in the base were not hiding in the base all the time. It was very likely that they were attacked later and there was no time to clean up. She chose a place with more snow. Angela popped out her sharp claws and stepped lightly on the snow. The snow instantly turned into solid ice. Then, it jumped up suddenly and almost took Fang Yuxin to the top of the protective wall.

Maybe there were too many injured people and no one was guarding the place. Angela carried Fang Yuxin and easily crossed the wall, then jumped down from the wall and landed steadily in the base.

There was a huge tornado suspended in the air not far away, still sucking in the mutant birds continuously. However, the mutant birds refused to sit there and wait for death. Instead, they used their sharp claws to dig deeply into the flesh of the survivors to prevent themselves from being sucked into the tornado.

Fang Yuxin and Angela both felt the suction of the tornado, which was an indiscriminate attack and did not target a specific person. However, the human body was large after all, not as light as a bird, so the mutant bird was at a greater disadvantage.

Fang Yuyang was standing in midair at this time. Although he saw that many mutant birds had not been sucked into the tornado, he did not dare to increase the power of the tornado, otherwise, the survivors would also be sucked in. At that time, it would not be saving people, but killing people. It was for this reason that he hurriedly asked Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye to help.

Fang Yuxin saw his dilemma, but unfortunately there were too many mutant birds clinging to the survivors. The two sides were mixed together, and she couldn't directly use large-scale group attack skills, so she could only deal with them in a small area. After the tiny seeds were scattered, they continued to stretch under her control, and finally turned into sharp wooden thorns, which were densely shot at the mutant birds.

Many survivors could not bear being pecked by the mutant birds and fell to the ground and struggled continuously, completely losing their ability to fight. Until these mutant birds were hit by wooden thorns and died beyond death, these survivors did not have the strength to throw away the bird carcasses on their bodies.

They were all seriously injured, with hideous wounds left by the mutant birds pecking or scratching all over their bodies, which was very scary and pitiful. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang gradually cleared away the mutant birds that were clinging to the survivors. By the time they had dealt with all the mutant birds in the entire base, more than half an hour had passed.

At the same time, Bai Ye also dealt with all the mutant beasts outside the base and dug out all the crystal cores. When he entered the base, some people who were not seriously injured or had been hiding in the house early in the morning and were not injured at all were already organizing rescue. When they saw him and Bai Er under him, their faces were not good.

This small base didn't even have any contracted beasts, and suddenly encountered such a disaster. Almost all the people in the base were killed by mutant beasts and mutant birds. Naturally, they would not have a good impression of Bai Er, and as a result, they were also very wary of Bai Ye.

Bai Ye saw that they were looking at him unkindly, and he was too lazy to argue with them, so he went straight to find Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye. One of their pets was a mutant beast and the other was a mutant bird. Although they both saved people, the people in the base had mixed feelings. They were grateful for the two's life-saving grace, but they could not forget the horror of the mutant beasts and mutant birds, so they naturally did not have much good feelings for their lifesavers.

Seeing these people's wary and even hostile eyes, Fang Yuxin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Fang Yuyang and planned to leave. However, just as they were about to leave, a young man suddenly rushed out and blocked their way.

The man looked young, probably in his twenties, and his body was quite clean, with fair skin and tender flesh, without any injuries. He must have been hiding in the house with nowhere to go.

At this moment, he stood in front of Fang Yuxin with a fearless attitude, and asked righteously: "You can't leave! Was the attack just now caused by you?"

It would have been fine if they didn't get any thanks for saving people. Anyway, they got a lot of crystal cores this time, so it wasn't a loss. But being questioned like that and being accused of such a big crime of taking human life, Fang Yuxin couldn't help but get angry!

Her face darkened, she looked at the man who stood out with cold eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you have any evidence to prove that the attack just now was caused by us?"

The young man was frightened by her aura and his face turned pale, but he still said righteously: "Our base has never encountered such a terrible attack before, but this time we suddenly suffered such a disaster. Moreover, not long after the attack, you appeared, accompanied by terrible mutant beasts and mutant birds. With so many coincidences, do you still dare to say that this attack has nothing to do with you?"

Fang Yuxin sneered: "Then why do you think we need to do this?"

Hearing this, the young man looked at Fang Yuxin confidently, and he seemed to be very proud of having guessed the truth. "You finally admitted that you had something to do with this attack! You deliberately controlled the mutant beasts and birds to attack our base, and then appeared as saviors to help us solve this problem. In this way, we would regard you as our saviors and be grateful to you. Unfortunately, you are wrong! We are not that stupid!"

Fang Yuxin was too lazy to pay attention to him. Just as he was about to say something else, Fang Yuyang suddenly spoke up and said condescendingly: "What's the point of us asking for your gratitude? Can you give us crystal cores or food? If we can really control so many mutant beasts and birds, and sell them to others, we don't know how many crystal cores we can earn. How can we kill them just to win over a small base like yours? Do you think you are worth winning over?"

He frowned when he said this, and then said to Fang Yuxin: "Xinxin, come up!" Then, he said to the people below with complicated eyes, "If I had known that you would repay kindness with enmity and doubt our motives, I should not have saved you just now!"

What he said was really unpleasant to hear. As soon as he finished speaking, many people's faces turned ugly.

Fang Yuxin ignored them, she jumped lightly and jumped directly onto Wu Jin's back. At the same time, Angela also jumped suddenly and pounced on Fang Yuxin in mid-air. Its body kept rising, becoming smaller and smaller as it rose, and finally became a palm-sized ball. Fang Yuxin gently caught it, stepped on her palm to gain leverage, and jumped onto her shoulder.

At this time, Fang Yuxin looked at the ugly faces of the people below and said, "You deliberately slandered us, but you just don't want to repay us for saving your life this time. Anyway, we don't care about your gratitude. However, no matter what you think, if we can really control those mutant beasts and mutant birds, and they still covet your small base, wouldn't it be easier to let them eat you all?"

After she finished speaking, she sneered, and left the base with Fang Yuyang without paying attention to those people with sullen faces. Bai Ye happened to rush over at this time. After hearing what they said, he looked coldly at the survivors in the base, and then chased Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang out of the base.

Standing on Wu Jin's back, Fang Yuxin looked at the ruined base below and frowned, saying, "I was originally planning to treat those people's injuries. There are too many injured this time, and the wood-type mutants in their base may not be able to handle it. I didn't expect that these people would think this way!"

Seeing that she was very angry, Fang Yuyang said, "They are just a bunch of people who don't know what they are talking about. There is no need to be angry with them."

Fang Yuxin nodded to show that he understood, then frowned and said, "Next time when we want to pick prey, we should not get close to these safe bases. Who knows what the people inside will think."

Fang Yuyang responded, but he knew in his heart that if they encountered such a situation where the base was besieged again next time, they would definitely not stand by and watch them die. What Fang Yuxin said was just an angry remark.
