Some soldiers avoided the rain of fire, some soldiers received timely help after they started to burn, but even so, some city defense troops were completely turned into a burning fireball.
Some fire feathers also fell outside the city, but the strange beasts seemed to have been prepared and were always able to avoid them accurately, allowing those feathers with flames to burn quietly on the ground and turn into ashes.
As for the fire feathers that were shot into the city, no one was able to control them for the time being.
At this moment, almost all capable people are unable to cope with the situation, and for ordinary people, the only way out in the face of such a disaster is to escape. It is difficult to even take shelter for themselves, let alone save the outer city area under the rain of fire.
This was what an unexpected disaster was like. The fire feathers fell on some houses, in the middle of the road, and on street corners that were piled with food scraps and all kinds of household garbage.
Soon, flames and thick black smoke rose from the outer city area, and the few security team members who did not seek refuge quickly took action.
Fortunately, the civilians had enough experience in evacuation, and the rain of fire did not hurt anyone in the city.

"Holy Shield! What the hell are you doing?!"
"Wanjuan" has helped "Xingluo" to restore the signal from the outer city area, but because many cameras were destroyed, some signal sources can only be supplemented by monitors occasionally installed in areas close to the city walls.
Looking at the raging fire burning over there, "Xingluo" couldn't help but curse.
But this was just an angry remark made in a hurry.
As fellow transplant recipients, the five members of Team One are actually able to fully empathize with each other.
Just like "Starfall" had to consider not causing damage to the city walls and harming the soldiers on the walls, it could only constantly adjust the output power of the energy cannon, playing the tough job of dancing on the edge of a knife.
The same is true for "Holy Shield".
He must maintain the protective shield covering the entire Hope City at all times, but personal control over one's abilities is ultimately limited, so in most cases the shield can only automatically filter out active substances and provide early warning of enemies approaching from the sky.
As for this fire feather that carries flames but has completely lost its vitality, it is actually not within the scope of the "Holy Shield"'s ability.
But the next moment, a fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters passed over all the soldiers on the city wall, and under their gaze, it descended from the sky like a real "falling star", and hit a small building in the outer city of Hope City.
“This, this…”
"Xingluo" himself didn't know whether he was surprised or angry for a moment. He stuttered twice and couldn't utter a single word.
"This is not within the scope of responsibility of the Holy Shield."
"Wanjuan" explained lightly on the side, but this unnecessary dialogue obviously did not make "Xingluo" respond.

A row of houses collapsed in the violent impact and flames, and the feathered serpent's tail, which was more than ten meters long, was grabbed tightly in the hand of the man with light golden hair.
Then he flew straight upwards, and when he reached a suitable height, he began to swing the Quetzalcoatl's entire body wildly, as if he wanted to kill it in this way, or perhaps he was simply venting his anger.
A roar of a wild beast was heard, and Lin Qingliu felt his wrist loosen. He looked down and found that the feathered serpent had already cut off its tail to survive. Only a one-meter-long tail was left, which was still burning and had the characteristics of a willow branch and a snake, and was twisting wildly.
This part from the feathered serpent was also burning fiercely. Lin Qingliu held it in his hand and it was impossible to tell who was burning whom.
After a roar filled with pain, the dense and thick feathers around the Quetzalcoatl's head began to burn again, like a defeated lion regaining its dignity.
It glanced around like a human, then looked at Lin Qingliu and said in a somewhat lame but featureless voice:
"This is human territory and you are destroying parts of your own body!"
His tone fluctuated a little, because at this moment, just like less than an hour ago, after Lin Qingliu and himself jointly destroyed a small piece of forest, the mycelium will felt for the first time a kind of reluctance that originated from the heart.
The human in front of him did not show any change on his face as he faced the human settlement that he had destroyed with his own hands.
In the process of the growth of mycelial will, hundreds of brains were integrated together, and useful knowledge was continuously absorbed from them.
Among these talents, there is obviously a profession that was born to target human weaknesses - psychologist.
However, at this moment, the will of the mycelium could not lock on the current mood of the human in front of it in any way.
His expression was completely fake, and even his body was fake.
There will be no micro-expressions on a fake face that represent the true inner reaction, and his analytical ability is therefore greatly reduced. He can only apply the theories he has just realized to other people's situations.
"You know what? I don't care."
The man with light blond hair in front of him suddenly spoke:
“Whether they live or die is none of my business.
"But you are different. This shell of yours will definitely stay here today."
"impossible! "
“Nothing is impossible.”
Lin Qingliu's tone was indifferent, like a cold machine suddenly starting up:
"I think the fire giant must have had the same idea before he was destroyed, and everyone saw the result."
His right hand clenched slightly, and the more than one-meter-long feathered serpent tail, which had both animal and plant characteristics, began to decay and age, and soon became a skeleton.
Lin Qingliu let go and let the garbage fall, hitting a piece of concrete that had already turned into rubble, and became a pool of ordinary powder.
"I can't tell the truth from your words, but I think..."
The scales and feathers on the Quetzalcoatl's neck began to grow rapidly, like a blooming sunflower, ready to unleash a deadly rain of fire at any time.
"If I burn this human settlement to ashes, maybe the expression on your face will be a little more lively."
Just as the accumulated rain of fire was about to be launched, a ray cannon containing a large amount of energy hit the top of the strange beast's head, directly taking away a large area of feathers, scales and willow branches.
That shot was originally aimed at Quetzalcoatl's face and head, but the reaction speed of the fifth-level beasts is always amazing, as was the case with the griffin before and the Quetzalcoatl now.
"The trajectory has deviated to a certain extent..."
"I know, I know."
"Xingluo" interrupted "Wanjuan" and asked directly:
"Is there any way to help that human?"
Wan Juan looked into the distance, his sight seemed to have locked onto Lin Qingliu who was confronting the other party through dozens of kilometers:
"I think he's fine."
