Dark fog, extreme cold, meteor showers, extreme heat, zombies, mutated flora and fauna, insect swarms, beast surges...
The Water Blue Star suddenly entered an apocalypse without warning.
<...Although the mutated eagle didn't understand why Banxia was afraid of the tiny silver-throated long-tailed tit, it still subconsciously obeyed her and prepared to fly high to avoid the silver-throated long-tailed tit's attack.
However, it was too late. The silver-throated long-tailed tit moved so fast that even the mutated eagle's eyesight could barely catch a glimpse of it.
When it opened its tiny mouth, the mutated eagle's invincible devouring ability became useless, and half of its wing vanished into nothingness.
"Chirp!"
The mutated eagle let out a miserable cry, its body losing balance due to its injured wing, and it plummeted straight to the ground, carrying Banxia with it.
Nanxing and the others, who were keeping a close eye on the aerial battle, felt a sudden jolt in their hearts. Nanxing instinctively reached out his hands to catch Banxia.
Banxia, descending rapidly through the air, calmly stored the mutated eagle into her spatial storage, while simultaneously summoning the Devouring Tree and throwing it to the ground: "Tian Tian!"
The Devouring Tree cooperated perfectly and transformed back into its original form. Instantly, a tree sixty meters tall appeared out of thin air on the ground. Its circular canopy, half black and half white, resembled a giant open umbrella, blocking out most of the sunlight.
It quickly gathered the branches together, forming a huge basket to catch the pinellia, and said smugly, "When it really matters, you still have to rely on me!"
“Tian Tian is the most reliable,” Ban Xia said with a smile, touching the branch beneath her. “Thank you for letting me down so I can say something to Nan Xing.”
The Sky-Swallowing Tree put her down on the ground: "Whoever shoots this bird owns it?"
"Okay, you should pick the higher-level ones to fight."
When she was still two or three meters off the ground, Banxia jumped down and threw herself into Nanxing's arms, saying, "I'm fine."
Nanxing took a deep breath: "Yeah, it's good that you're alright."
The silver-throated long-tailed tit thought the man and the eagle were surely doomed, but to its surprise, the situation took an unexpected turn; the mutated eagle was merely severely injured. Not only were the humans alive and well, but a strange and powerful tree had appeared out of nowhere, quickly killing many of its kind.
"Jiejie—"
The silver-throated long-tailed tit landed on a larger member of its kind, shook its feathers, stretched its neck, and sang a long song.
The birds, who were fighting desperately with humans, paused for a moment, then took flight simultaneously. Most of them attacked the Sky-Swallowing Tree, while a small number attacked the Pinellia.
Banxia raised an eyebrow slightly; she wouldn't lose in a group fight.
"Get to work!"
The furry creatures and mutated plants, suddenly released into the space, were taken aback and instinctively unleashed their powers to attack the birds flying towards them. The mutated mother eagle, harboring resentment, was particularly valiant; with a flap of her wings, countless transparent wind blades mercilessly shot straight at the heads of her kind.
The survivors, who thought they were going to die here, stared in disbelief at the dozens of mutated animals and several mutated plants that had appeared out of nowhere. They were completely dumbfounded.
People near Banxia instinctively stepped back a few meters, looking at her with burning eyes, as if she were their savior.
Yan Ning walked over with a complicated yet delighted expression: "You..."
She wanted to ask Banxia what her special ability was, and where she had tamed so many mutated animals, but knowing that this was the other party's trump card, she forcibly suppressed the urge to ask and took a deep breath: "Thank you!"
"Okay," Banxia said, pinching the branch that the Devouring Sky Tree was extending towards her. "I'm going to help."
To catch the thief, first catch the king. Using the branches as leverage, she leaped onto the Sky-Swallowing Tree: "Tian Tian, catch the Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit!"
The branches of the Devouring Tree acted like nimble hands, collecting the birds killed by other mutated animals one by one into its space: "It won't come down from the air. If only we had wind-type abilities."
Banxia was also a little disappointed. She wondered if it was because of the special nature of their abilities that neither she nor the Devouring Tree could awaken a second ability: "The Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit has a mutated devouring ability. Lightning can't get close to it. I'll try with a sniper rifle. You protect me and make sure I'm safe."
Banxia pulled out a sniper rifle from her spatial storage and fired a shot at the head of the silver-throated long-tailed tit.
The silver-throated long-tailed tit keenly sensed the whooshing sound in the air and flapped its wings to dodge. But the next instant, another bullet flew towards it. It suppressed its anger and used its special ability to devour the bullet. The next second, another bullet flew towards it.
The silver-throated long-tailed tit was immediately enraged and flew swiftly towards the annoying human.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Banxia quickly put the sniper rifle back into her spatial storage, and her hands sprouted vines that caught the silver-throated long-tailed titmouse coming towards her.
The Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit calmly opened its beak and unleashed its mutated Devouring Ability, attempting to bind and devour the vines. However, its Ability level was not as high as Banxia's, and the moment its Devouring Ability made contact with the vines, it was instead absorbed by them as nourishment.
Banxia retracted the vines and carefully examined the mutated bird, which was only the size of a palm. It looked quite cute, but unfortunately, it didn't do very well.
The silver-throated long-tailed tit glared angrily at Banxia. If looks could kill, they probably would have killed her several times over.
The Devouring Tree poked the head of the Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit: "It's not very big, but it has quite a temper!"
The silver-throated long-tailed tit opened its eyes wide and bit down on a branch of the Sky-Swallowing Tree. However, instead of injuring the tree, it nearly broke off its own beak.
The Devouring Tree trembled with glee: "You're still too green to bite me!"
"Are you the leader of this flock of birds?" Banxia pinched the tail of the silver-throated long-tailed tit. "Why did you attack the human base?"
The silver-throated long-tailed tit gave Banxia a cold glare, then a delighted smile appeared in its eyes.
Banxia frowned slightly: "Tiantian, I have a bad feeling."
Mutant animals are part of a food chain, and they would never unite unless there is an enormous benefit involved. An organized and premeditated attack like today is extremely unusual.
A branch of the Devouring Tree snapped the neck of a mutated bird: "I always feel like this scene...we've been there somewhere before..." Its voice trailed off, "...before we knew it."
The man and the tree fell into deep thought. They both remembered it, so it must have been something from their ancestors. But what exactly was it?
In her previous life, after waking up, she experienced three attacks on the base by mutated beasts: once during the autumn harvest when mutated animals came to steal her food, once when marine creatures sought revenge, and another time...
"A beast tide!"
One person and one tree shouted at the same time.
Mutant beasts and mutant birds once joined forces to launch a beast tide, with mutant birds leading the charge just like today!
"Tian Tian," Banxia decisively pulled out the crystal core of the Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit and threw it into her spatial storage, "I'm going to find Yan Ning. You quickly organize your men to kill all the mutated birds in the air!"
If one or two of these vanguard members accidentally escape, they will definitely send word back to the Beast King, alerting him to their danger and taking precautions.
