The Soul-Chasing Bird King released its claws from the beam, spread its wings, and flew into the air, its eagle eyes scanning the area below.
The entire Jiangnan Examination Hall area, including the Dacheng Hall and a large area of ruined streets in the East and West Markets, was eerily quiet, without a single sound.
Lu Shi used teleportation to flash into the interior of an abandoned shop, and then used the level 10 Shadow Cloak effect to hide in a dark corner.
She knew in her heart that she had only managed to deceive the Soul-Chasing Bird King for now.
However, this is not a long-term solution. Rather than confronting a level 10 monster head-on, hiding is the wiser choice.
"Woman, let's see where you can hide?"
The Soul-Chasing Bird King flew in a circle in the air, but did not detect Lu Shi's whereabouts.
Its anger surged. As a top-tier monster, this was the first time it had encountered a human who dared to mock it.
The enormous bird's body stood upright, changing from horizontal flight to vertical flight in the air.
Wings open to their maximum extent.
Then, he started fanning himself fiercely.
A blue light shimmered on its wings, and a strong wind swept across the ruins and rubble below, howling and engulfing the earth.
The sycamore trees swayed violently in the gale, their branches rustling. Some weaker branches, unable to withstand the fierce impact, snapped with a crack and fell to the ground. Leaves, like enraged butterflies, fluttered down, forming a green storm. In the streets, dust was whipped up by the wind, forming swirling, yellowish-brown vortexes that danced wildly in the air.
The building swayed precariously in the gale, windows rattled, and roof tiles were torn off, shattering with a piercing sound, weaving a wild symphony with the wind, making it feel like the end of the world.
The strong winds continued to blow, naturally affecting the shop where Lu Shi was hiding.
A huge roof beam was blown down by a strong wind and crashed right down on where Lu Shi was.
With a sigh, Lu Shi flashed out of the shop, and the invisibility effect immediately disappeared.
"Woman, you've finally come out."
The Soul-Chasing Bird King spotted Lu Shi on the street at first glance. Leaning forward, it flapped its wings, its sharp claws outstretched, their edges gleaming coldly. Its massive body pressed down on Lu Shi like a mountain crashing down.
Lu Shi glanced coldly at the sky, azure light surging around her as wind magic flowed through her body.
It accelerated suddenly.
【Wind Track】
Sprint in a straight line.
Secondary acceleration.
At this moment, she used wind magic to its fullest extent, her body transforming into a blur as she rushed into the distance.
The Soul-Chasing Bird King's claws only touched Lu Shi's afterimage; the real Lu Shi had already fled far away.
It reluctantly raised its head, its beak wide open, and an invisible sound wave enveloped the humans running ahead.
Although Lu Shi was fast, she was still no faster than the speed of sound and was knocked unconscious on the spot once again.
Fortunately, the cooldown time for teleportation wasn't long, and it was completed before the Soul-Chasing Bird King caught up with them.
Lu Shi used the control-breaking ability again to teleport a large distance forward.
At this moment, Lu Shi decided to stop hiding. She gritted her teeth, and two pairs of wings emerged from her back.
With its golden and azure wings flapping, Lu Shi leaped into the air and flew swiftly towards the outskirts of Jinlin City.
"Ha, it actually dares to fly into the sky?" Even the Soul-Chasing Bird King laughed in anger.
Gugu Meow.
It let out a whooshing sound.
Its enormous body, like a sharp arrow, chased straight ahead at the large, colorful butterfly in the sky.
Lu Shifei flew swiftly through the air, passing over Jinlin City.
She suddenly realized that the entire Jinlin Wasteland City was incredibly quiet at this moment, and the magical rats that had roamed the city had all mysteriously disappeared.
Even the rats that were carrying things in front of the Jiangnan Examination Hall when we came in have disappeared.
Lu Shi looked down, her eyes narrowing involuntarily.
It turned out that a huge magic circle had been set up on the open square in front of the Jiangnan Examination Hall.
At the edge of the square were mountains of boxes.
All the boxes were opened, and they were all empty.
Originally, it should have been filled with black stones, which formed a huge magic circle.
From the air, Lu Shifei could see it more clearly; the magic circle was complex and mysterious, faintly emitting a silver light.
"Master, it's a teleportation array. All those magical rats from Golden Forest City should have left through the teleportation array," Little Scissors exclaimed in surprise.
"How could so many rats have spread so quickly?" Lu Shi asked, flapping her wings without stopping.
"It seems that all the monster rats above level 3 have been transported away. Those below level 3 have probably become activation energy," Little Scissors said, not entirely sure.
"It seems these magical beast rats of Jinlin City have had enough and are willing to sacrifice all their lower-ranking members to escape," Lu Shi sighed.
But Lu Shi didn't have time to sigh.
The Soul-Chasing Bird King quickly approached, its wind blades striking Lu Shi first.
Sensing the terrifying sound of a strong wind behind her, Lu Shi was about to dodge.
But a sudden sharp pain shot through my head, and I stopped what I was about to do.
The wind blade slashed fiercely at Lu Shi's waist.
Shapeshifter Gold appeared just in time to block the wind blades, but the powerful wind blades shattered Shapeshifter Gold, scattering fragments in the air.
Using this buffer, Lu Shi gained a chance to catch her breath. She crossed her arms, revealing a Tai Chi diagram, which blocked the aftershocks of the wind blades. Her body was still propelled nearly fifty meters away by the powerful force.
Lu Shi spat out a mouthful of blood. Before she could look back, she turned around, flapped all four wings together, and continued to fly away into the distance.
"Master, the Illusionary Gold is severely damaged and won't be able to stop a second attack in the short term. You... be careful." Little Scissors finally refrained from further discouraging Lu Shi.
Lu Shi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and with a few strokes of her hands, she built a wall around her soul.
The attack just now contained curse-type magic.
This bird king is really strong.
Seeing that its fusion magic had failed to subdue Lu Shi, the Soul-Chasing Bird King grew even more enraged and accelerated. At the same time, black and blue wind blades shot out from its beak and wings, relentlessly pursuing Lu Shi.
The wall of the mind kept appearing outside Lu Shi's body, and black curse magic appeared, but was blocked outside the protective barrier.
As for the actual wind blade attacks, Lu Shi swayed left and right, constantly making evasive maneuvers. When he couldn't avoid them, he released the Tai Chi diagram to take the hit head-on.
This rapid, life-or-death flight gave her a deeper understanding of how to use her four wings.
It flies very fast.
In just ten minutes, Lu Shi was almost out of Jinlin city.
The mountain range that had just separated them from the group was now faintly visible, but the Soul-Chasing Bird King was still relentlessly pursuing them.
Lu Shi accelerated again, wanting to rush out of the city in one go.
Sudden.
Gugu Meow.
Another enormous soul-chasing bird flew in from afar and, in the blink of an eye, blocked Lu Shi's path.
At Lu Shi's current acceleration, he will inevitably collide with the Soul-Chasing Bird ahead.
"Li, well done!" the Soul-Chasing Bird King chirped happily from behind.
Damn it, at this crucial moment, an 8th-tier Soul-Chasing Bird has appeared in front of us, blocking our way.
Lu Shi was so angry she wanted to curse.
But there's no turning back.
Red and purple light surged between his hands.
Lu Shi prepared to... force her way in.
