“Not good…” Ning Yu’s heart sank. He knew that the strange bird’s evolution had reached its final stage.
"Ning Yu! Get away from it!" Mu Xue's weak voice came from afar. She struggled to get up from the ground and shouted loudly at Ning Yu.
However, it was too late.
The strange bird's body suddenly expanded, emitting a deafening roar. A blinding white light instantly enveloped the entire sky, and a powerful shockwave swept in, engulfing Ning Yu and Mu Xue…
"It...it..." Mu Xue's voice trailed off. A blinding white light engulfed everything, followed by a deafening roar. The shockwave, like an invisible giant hand, violently flung Ning Yu away. He felt like a fallen leaf, tumbling in the gale, losing his direction, losing time, left only with endless dizziness and excruciating pain.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Yu crashed heavily to the ground with a muffled groan. He struggled to get up, but found himself completely powerless, as if his bones had been shattered. His blurred vision allowed him to see only a scene of utter devastation: broken trees, scorched earth, and billowing dust…
"Mu Xue!" Ning Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted hoarsely, enduring the excruciating pain.
The only response he received was the sound of the wind and the faint cry of a strange bird in the distance.
He struggled to his feet and staggered toward the strange bird. Every step felt like walking on a knife's edge; the intense pain nearly made him faint. But he couldn't give up; he had to find Mu Xue.
Finally, he saw the strange bird. Its massive body lay motionless on the ground, emanating a faint smell of burning. Mu Xue lay not far away, her fate unknown.
"Mu Xue!" Ning Yu called out again, his voice filled with anxiety and fear. He stumbled to Mu Xue's side and hugged her tightly.
Mu Xue's face was pale, her breath weak, and her body was covered in wounds. Ning Yu's hand trembled as he checked her breathing; thankfully, she was still breathing.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his anger only intensified. He looked up at the strange bird, his eyes burning with fury. He vowed to make that bird pay!
Just then, the strange bird suddenly moved. It struggled to stand up, letting out a painful cry. Ning Yu was startled and quickly picked up Mu Xue, backing away.
Although severely injured, the strange bird still possessed immense strength. It flapped its enormous wings, creating a gust of wind that drove Ning Yu and Mu Xue into a desperate situation.
Ning Yu was caught by the strange bird's giant claws, the sharp tips piercing his flesh, the excruciating pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The strange bird tried to throw him off, but he clung tightly to its claws, refusing to let go.
In the midst of the violent struggle, Ning Yu's gaze inadvertently swept beneath the strange bird's wing, where a wound he had previously overlooked suddenly appeared before his eyes. The wound was deep and terrifying, seemingly pierced by some sharp weapon, and black blood was now continuously gushing out.
A bold idea flashed through Ning Yu's mind. He gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, brought his head close to the strange bird's wound, and then, with all his might, bit down hard.
"Caw—!" The strange bird let out a shrill cry, its huge body trembled violently, and its claws that were gripping Ning Yu loosened.
Ning Yu fell from the strange bird's claws and crashed heavily to the ground. Ignoring the pain, he quickly got up and shielded Mu Xue behind him.
In pain, the strange bird flapped its wings frantically, trying to smash Ning Yu and Mu Xue into mincemeat.
"Now it's our turn!" A ruthless glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. He helped Mu Xue up and whispered, "Hang in there!"
Mu Xue nodded weakly, her eyes shining with determination.
They supported each other, walking step by step toward the strange bird...
Suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly, and a deep rumbling sound came from afar, growing closer and louder...
"What is that?" Mu Xue asked, her voice trembling as she gripped Ning Yu's arm tightly.
Ning Yu looked up at the sky, his expression suddenly changing.
"not good……"
The strange bird let out a deafening scream, flapping its wings in pain. Ning Yu broke free from its sharp claws and fell heavily to the ground. Ignoring the pain, he rolled away from the bird's wildly swinging claws, then quickly got up and shielded Mu Xue behind him.
"Mu Xue, use your superpower!" Ning Yu shouted, his voice hoarse from the previous fight.
Mu Xue gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and conjured a dazzling white light in her hand. This light, like a miniature sun, radiated a scorching heat. She aimed at the area beneath the strange bird's injured wing and hurled the energy ball with all her might.
The energy ball struck the strange bird's wound precisely, triggering a violent explosion. The bird let out a piercing scream, its massive body swaying as it nearly plummeted from the sky.
"A good opportunity!" A glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. He seized the opportunity and activated his supernatural ability again. He clenched his fists, and a powerful energy wave erupted from his body, forming a visible shockwave that slammed into the strange bird's chest.
The strange bird could no longer hold on, let out a final cry, and fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Ning Yu and Mu Xue collapsed to the ground, exhausted, panting heavily. They were covered in wounds, their clothes stained with blood, but victorious smiles adorned their faces.
“We…won…” Mu Xue said weakly, her voice trembling but full of joy.
Ning Yu nodded, wanting to say something, but found himself too weak to speak. He turned to look at the strange bird's corpse, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. They had paid a heavy price in this battle, but ultimately survived.
Suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly, and a sense of oppression filled the air. A deep rumbling sound came from afar, growing closer and louder, as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching.
"What is that?" Mu Xue gripped Ning Yu's arm tightly, her voice filled with fear.
Ning Yu looked up at the sky, his expression changing drastically. He saw a huge black shadow hurtling towards them in the gloomy sky. The shadow was strangely shaped, like a giant dark cloud, blotting out the sun and carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
“Not good…” Ning Yu’s heart sank, and a strong sense of unease surged into his heart.
They tried to stand up, but their bodies were so exhausted that it took a great deal of effort to sit up. Ning Yu supported Mu Xue, his eyes fixed on the dark shadow in the sky, his hands clenched tightly, his palms sweaty.
"Prepare for battle..." Ning Yu's voice was deep and firm. He knew that a new crisis was about to unfold...
