Come with revenge for your clan

The powerful aura hit her back like a thousand-pound stone, making her feel suffocated and horrified. Jiang Jingyuan's mind went blank uncontrollably.

The branches and leaves rustled, and Jiang Jingyuan watched the dark gray shadow hurriedly crawling deeper into the leaves. When the shaking branches subsided, she could no longer see any trace of the dark gray object.

The dark green grass and trees overlap and intertwine, and the gaps are covered by shadows into a deep black. Large and sturdy ancient trees that are thousands of times taller and more luxuriant than those outside have stood here for thousands of years. The trees are arranged in a twisted and mysterious way, extending into the gray mist in the distance.

Gray fog hovered in the sky, firmly trapped in the deep forest by a large number of densely distributed trees of different thicknesses but equally tall, preventing it from spreading to the outside world.

When Jiang Jingyuan regained consciousness, she saw towering ancient trees stretching straight out into the vast, light, thin gray-white mist.

Jiang Jingyuan stared at it in a daze for a long time.

The passing cold air licked her face, and Jiang Jingyuan suddenly came back to her senses. Only then did she realize that she had collapsed on a patch of grass without knowing when, and was now lying on her back on the thick, soft, and somewhat rough grass.

Suddenly, she sat up straight, her pale face filled with confusion and bewilderment, and a hint of astonishment mixed in with confusion: "What's wrong with me? Did I just faint? Where is that pressure?"

Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously pushed herself up, trying to stand. The sensation beneath her hands caused her expression to change slightly, and she instantly sprang to her feet. She stepped back repeatedly, resisting the urge to wipe her hands with a handkerchief from her storage compartment. She lowered her head, her eyes thick with disdain and displeasure, and carefully pinched a branch or weed hanging from her dress with two fingers and threw it away.

She nodded and was about to look away when she suddenly saw three or two small black spots crawling rapidly on her right hand.

“!!!”

Jiang Jingyuan's face changed, and he subconsciously swung his hands hard. The three or two black dots that flew out were instantly crushed to pieces by the invisible spiritual power in mid-air.

After quickly completing all of this, she felt much better. Without caring about anything else, Jiang Jingyuan began to think carefully: "Is the owner of that pressure protecting that dark gray thing? Then why didn't he just kill me directly just now, but instead..."

No!!!

Jiang Jingyuan suddenly seemed to understand something, and turned around and ran without hesitation!

“Rustle…rustle…”

From the depths of the mottled dark green jungle behind, there was an undisguised and extremely loud sound of leaves rubbing against each other, as if something was moving quickly through it.

The rustling sound of leaves was getting closer. Jiang Jingyuan, who was stumbling along the bumpy, weedy mountain road ahead, seemed to hear the flapping of some bird's wings. Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "What is it..."

"Here I come with revenge for my own kind!!!"

brush--

The whistling air current lifted the branches and leaves, and dark gray figures rushed out like cannonballs. Jiang Jingyuan heard the sound and looked back, and saw the complete appearance of those things with smooth and sticky texture and bird feathers.

For a moment, a chill crept all over Jiang Jingyuan's body. The scene before her was so shocking that she felt like her hair was about to explode.

With a quick glance, he saw those dark grey creatures. Most of them were half the height of an adult, with their lower halves and sides spread out like eagles in the sky. But Jiang Jingyuan's gaze shifted upwards, and he saw that where the bird's head should have been, there was a strangely twisted face embedded in it...an indescribable...

Face?

Is it a face? Is it a human face?

The skin on their heads was dark gray with mottled pearly spots. They had no lips, and a crack appeared on their sticky, damp, and peeling dark gray skin. The crack suddenly widened, and they emitted a sharp and hoarse "wa-wa-wa-" sound.

On that human-like face, the place where the nose should be raised was flat, and the two black and lifeless eyes moved outward to the left and right, approaching the distribution of bird eyes.

“Wow—wow—”

Those strange and chilling birds roared angrily but with a hint of excitement as they saw their prey. A red light flashed in their lifeless black eyes, and two or three dark grey feathers with pearly spots fell from the air. They flapped their long feather wings vigorously and swooped down towards the bright goose yellow figure in front of them!

Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"

Jiang Jingyuan's expression was distorted as he ran wildly through the rugged and dangerous forest, occasionally dodging the strange birds swooping down from behind.

She looked carefully at the terrain around her, thinking quickly about how to act.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and before she could ask, she heard Xu Qinglin's serious voice in her mind:

"You'd better catch one and show it to me."

Jiang Jingyuan paused before asking, "Is this thing related to the winged man you created?"

Although she asked this, she had already made up her mind.

Xu Qinglin didn't hide anything. She said very seriously, "I'm not completely sure, but these things feel very similar and familiar to me."

Jiang Jingyuan understood that the birds behind were also man-made.

"It's actually raised in the Grandma Forest. It's a hidden place that almost no one has ever set foot in. It's really a unique hidden place." Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh that the person who created these was really calculating.

Because of the long run, Jiang Jingyuan's usually pale face had turned a lot redder. Her expression was twisted, and she gnashed her teeth inwardly: "Sure enough! Only Xu Qinglin could come up with such a weird thing!!!"

These people hid the things here so well before, what are they trying to do by actively inviting outsiders in now?!

Damn it, she really just wanted to go out for a trip this time! How could she be so unlucky to encounter such a weird thing again!

After a pause, Jiang Jingyuan calmed down and responded to Xu Qinglin in his mind, saying, "I think it's probably impossible to catch one for you. You know, just when I wanted to take down another one, that pressure that came out of nowhere immediately stopped me. With my current strength, fighting hard will only anger the other party and will not end well."

After experiencing that pressure, Jiang Jingyuan initially thought that the person behind the scenes wanted to use her as prey and whetstone for these birds, but after hearing Xu Qinglin's answer, she realized that things were not just like that.

As the saying goes, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. Jiang Jingyuan thought that the person behind the scenes was probably worried that someone would use various methods to transmit the strange birds and other possible strange things here to the outside world.

Xu Qinglin didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Jingyuan continued calmly, "I can't catch it, and I'm not sure if I can kill it, but the person behind it definitely won't let me get close to those things. But if you have a simpler verification method, I can try to cooperate with you."

Xu Qinglin pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to kill them. Try to see if you can inflict wounds on those birds."

Jiang Jingyuan paused, and almost at the same time, his mind recalled the contents of Xu Qinglin's notebook -

"Invulnerable to swords and guns, impervious to water and fire, it can only be disintegrated from the inside into a wriggling mass of flesh and blood."

She understood instantly that if someone really used Xu Qinglin's method to create these ghost things, then in addition to studying the method of immortality, the most important point was their properties of being invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire!

This kind of thing is a powerful weapon...

Jiang Jingyuan was running on a narrow path covered with moss and a few weeds. On the left was a mountain wall covered with moss and vines.

"Gulu..." Gravel rolled down the cliff slope on the right in front of her toes and fell into the gray mist.

The gray, bottomless fog continued to spread forward on her right side until it hit an extremely tall, thousand-year-old tree. The clouds then awkwardly bypassed the ancient tree from both sides and continued to extend forward.

Jiang Jingyuan raised her eyes and saw the extremely tall ancient tree not far away. She turned her head to look at the more than ten black shadows chasing her rapidly from behind. With a thought, she turned her hand and grasped the cold long sword that appeared out of thin air.

Amidst the lush greenery, dark shadows emitting ominous meanings came roaring with anger, like a violent storm, as if they were going to mercilessly drown the girl in front of them. They seemed to devour her like a swarm of locusts!

Ahead——

The bright and clear goose yellow figure, which was so out of tune with the mottled green shadows of the deep forest, sprinted, leaped up with a long sword flashing with cold light, and climbed up on the trunk of the ancient tree that broke through the fog.

As the dark shadows covered her from behind, she turned around and chopped down the nearest shadow with her knife.

The long knife chopped on the sticky molting face of the strange bird, and the blade pressed into its face, making a deep dent. The strange face opened its cracked mouth and screamed, but the blade did not scratch its surface at all.

Jiang Jingyuan felt a soft and sticky feeling in his hand, as if the long knife was chopping on some soft and chewy rice cake.

She gritted her teeth and swung the knife, but the black shadow on the silver-white blade was knocked away without any harm.

Jiang Jingyuan's eyes darkened. She didn't leave immediately. Instead, she stretched out an invisible spiritual power net beside her, connecting it to the mountain wall. At the same time, the silver-white long sword disappeared into thin air. She swung a yellow-black talisman and a blood-red pill towards the approaching black shadow.

"boom--"

The talismans and pills suddenly caused countless overlapping explosions of varying sizes. Violent air currents spread out, shaking the mountains and toppling trees.

But this scene, which made the world change color, lasted only a moment. An invisible and powerful pressure suddenly descended, and the explosion that was emitting white smoke froze in an instant. The trembling mountains instantly stopped, and the tall trees that had been tilted were also fixed in mid-air at the same time, not falling...

The next moment, white smoke spread rapidly, trees fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the invisible net woven by the explosion and spiritual power was shattered in an instant. The black human-faced strange birds shouted excitedly and flapped their wings to rush out of the fog!

Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank.

The invisible sense of coercion did not leave! It seemed to turn its gaze towards her, and Jiang Jingyuan instantly felt cold all over, as if she was frozen.

As that powerful pressure came towards her,

Jiang Jingyuan decisively kicked off the thick branch with his toes, leaned his body backward, and jumped straight into the thick fog.

The terrifying and powerful pressure was approaching infinitely. Jiang Jingyuan's eyes were dark, and layers of invisible barriers appeared around him.
