Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lu Jing stood steadily above the roaring helicopter. As his foot landed, an aura that could not be underestimated instantly spread out.

With a slight twitch of his fingers, a bone whip gleaming with an eerie light seemed to be summoned from the void, its blade wrapped in strange runes and shimmering with a chilling glow.

Facing countless water arrows that shot towards them with sharp whistling sounds, like venomous snakes.

Lu Jing reacted swiftly, his bone whip tracing eerie green lines in the air, striking each water arrow with pinpoint accuracy and producing a series of crisp impacts.

At that moment, the sound of wind breaking came from the sky, and the zombie bird swooped down with the force of thunder, its eyes burning with hunger and madness, and its wings flapping, bringing with them gusts of bloody wind.

Xiao Jin remained calm and composed, his movements fluid and agile, easily dodging the zombie bird's sharp claws.

However, in the instant she dodged, she used a little too much force, causing the entire aircraft to sway slightly.

As a result, Lu Jing also lost his balance and almost fell headfirst.

Fortunately, the safety rope on Lu Jing's wrist worked in time to hold him steady; otherwise, he might have died young.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Lu Jing's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

He swung his bone whip, repelling the approaching zombie birds. Occasionally, his gaze would glance downwards, meeting Xiao Jin's focused and indifferent face in the driver's seat.

Xiao Jin ignored Lu Jing's complaints; her attention was completely focused on the zombie bird's attack rhythm.

Does he really think that 'racing' in the air is an easy thing to do?

Xiao Jin's fingers rested lightly on the control lever, as if she were calculating something.

Finally, she seized a golden opportunity.

Just as the menacing zombie bird was about to launch a fatal attack, Xiao Jin suddenly pulled the control stick, and the helicopter climbed up at an almost impossible angle, followed by a sudden dive.

This series of actions was fluid and seamless, completely disrupting the zombie bird's attack.

Lu Jing was so dizzy from being tossed around in the helicopter that he almost lost his composure and started cursing.

“You…” Lu Jing took a deep breath, wanting to say something.

But after glancing at Xiao Jin, he turned to the players in the cabin and said in a sinister tone, "Are you all just watching the show over there?"

Since you enjoy watching so much, I'll send you to the zombie birds so you can watch to your heart's content."

"No, no, no, we weren't watching the fun." Several players scrambled to find powerful items and threw them at the zombie bird.

Perhaps sensing that Xiao Jin and the others were somewhat restricted in their movements in the air, the zombie bird tilted its head and continued to fly higher.

As a result, Lu Jing's bone whip had a limited range, and Xiao Jin could not see the zombie bird's movements due to her perspective.

This undoubtedly worsened everyone's situation.

Xiao Jin frowned and released his hand from the control lever.

This is so annoying!

The next second, the helicopter, which had been soaring steadily, suddenly seemed to be hit by something, and a metallic wail erupted from its right wing.

The helicopter, like a small boat suddenly tossed about by a giant wave in a gale, shook violently, its fuselage trembling violently, and then tilted uncontrollably to one side.

Inside the cabin, the alarm blared sharply, causing everyone's bodies to sway involuntarily.

Several players clung tightly to the items beside them, their faces already turning purple.

Xiao Jin's expression remained unchanged as he rapidly moved his hands on the control stick, attempting to salvage the out-of-control helicopter.

Soon, under Xiao Jin's control, the helicopter stopped circling and came to rest in the air.

It turned out that the zombie bird's superpower hit the helicopter's wing, nearly destroying it.

Although Lu Jing is strong, he cannot withstand all the attacks by himself.

No! Xiao Jin frowned inwardly; this couldn't be delayed any longer!

After a moment's thought, she decisively unbuckled her seatbelt and called out to the back, "Cen Nian, come here!"

Her voice pierced through the chaotic noise and reached Cen Nian's ears.

Because Cen Nian lacked effective ranged attack methods, he grabbed Professor Chen and hid in a corner with everyone from the moment the zombie birds began their attack.

Forget about the battle with the zombie birds for now, at least we need to protect the mission objective first!

Upon hearing Xiao Jin's call, Cen Nian did not hesitate at all.

He first carefully tucked Professor Chen into a corner of the cabin, a spot he had previously identified where he would be temporarily safe from the impact.

After doing all this, Cen Nian quickly turned around and ran to Xiao Jin.

"elder brother?"

Xiao Jin pressed the person into the driver's seat: "Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once." As he spoke, Xiao Jin's hand pressed on the control panel in front of him.

"I don't need you to be an expert. You just need to keep your balance and don't let the helicopter crash. The rest is up to you."

"Huh?" Cen Nian blinked.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble?" Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow.

"No." Cen Nian straightened up instantly.

Even if it exists, it must become nothing. Because Cen Nian knows very well that if there were other options, Brother Xiao Jin would not have entrusted her with such an important task.

You mean those cowards at the back?

Heh~

Cen Nian listened attentively to Xiao Jin's explanation with a solemn expression.

"You've memorized it all?"

"Yes, I've remembered them all." Cen Nian nodded.

“Alright, you take care of stabilizing the helicopter, I’ll go help Lu Jing.” After saying that, Xiao Jin’s long legs strode over the seat and quickly arrived at the window where Lu Jing had left earlier.

“Brother?” Cen Nian suddenly called out to Xiao Jin, her expression slightly hesitant.

Xiao Jin turned her head, and after a moment reached out and patted his head. Cen Nian was stunned when he felt the warmth on his head.

"Don't worry, even if the helicopter goes out of control and crashes, I can still save you." With that, Xiao Jin stepped onto the windowsill and leaped out.

Cen Nian was still immersed in Xiao Jin's actions, and while she smiled shyly, she seemed to have thought of something.

Suddenly, Cen Nian's lips stiffened.

Wait, didn't Brother Xiao Jin wear a safety rope when he went down?

“Brother!!” Cen Nian rushed to the window.

But when he saw the situation outside, his pupils shrank instantly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Blue wings, sculpted entirely from ice crystals, slowly unfolded in the sky, each feather as delicate as the most exquisite work of art.

With a gentle tap, it produced a series of delicate and crisp sounds, like an angel descending in the moonlight.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the icy blue wings, gently cascading onto Xiao Jin's fair and flawless face, making it almost transparent.

The pupils, which were originally deep black, miraculously shimmered with an icy blue luster under this strange light, like the most dazzling gems in the deep sea.
