"Remember, you can't lie to me this time. You must give me a hot air balloon, and it can't be broken, or half a balloon, and it can't be one that can't fly."
"Don't worry, it's just a hot air balloon. I'll give it to you and let you play with it at your leisure."
Every time Qingyu flew in mid-air and saw Xuemi sitting alone in a hot air balloon above Yue Shu City, she was extremely envious. She could fly to such a high sky without flapping her wings and just sitting there quietly.
For a moment, she even doubted whether she was still the darling of the sky.
Su Yuan's lips curled into a triumphant smile. In the end, the deal between the two ended with a hot air balloon. However, Qing Yu emphasized for a long time but never specified how big the hot air balloon was.
The two were being held by Qingyu and Yunyu. Su Yuan naturally went to Yunyu, as the cushioning was much more comfortable than Qingyu's body, which had no cushioning.
After hugging him tightly, he skillfully rested his head in the center of the cushioning pad.
The group flew towards the top of the rock face. It was morning, and in a few hours the midday sun would shine into the canyon, so no one would be willing to risk their life by climbing at that time.
However, things were not as simple as Su Yuan thought. Just as they were halfway there, a flock of birds flew towards their direction.
"Bah!!!"
A clear cry rang out in the distance, and a giant, transparent bird with a wingspan of five meters chased after the flock of birds, swallowing several slower-flying birds with each gulp.
Suddenly, those gleaming eyes fixed on the direction where Su Yuan and the others were, and with a flap of its wings, it charged towards them.
"Yunyu, go around it!"
Qingyu frowned. Both she and Yunyu were holding people, so they couldn't free their hands to fight back.
"No need, keep flying upwards."
Su Yuan's expression turned cold, and a fiery snake in his hand devoured the opponent. The bird and the snake fought in mid-air, and this one was stronger than the one that attacked Tu Ying earlier.
Its wings sliced through the fire serpent's body like blades, while its sharp claws scratched and clawed, eventually shattering the fire serpent completely.
Its transparent body was only slightly charred, and a sharp sound rang out from its mouth again, as its abdomen instantly spewed out a sky full of glass shards.
However, as it flew in front of Su Yuan, it fell rapidly down into the canyon like raindrops, and the giant Ming Shi bird that rushed over from not far away also felt a heavy force pressing down on its body.
The flapping wings suddenly felt strained, and it struggled desperately in mid-air, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Just then, the gravity suddenly dissipated, and the Akashi Giant Bird immediately flapped its wings, intending to rush forward and pierce through the bodies of the people with its beak.
But before it arrived, something black had already reached it ahead of it.
"boom!!!"
The massive explosion even shook down a lot of the rubble in this windy area, instantly waking up some of the Akashi Beasts that were perched on the cliff, which instinctively looked around and turned their heads.
Upon seeing the Akashi Giant Bird with one wing blown off and falling into the canyon, it was not afraid at all. Instead, it flapped its wings and charged towards Su Yuan and the others.
"I knew nothing good would come of following you!!!"
Qingyu was on the verge of collapse. Although these shiny stone monsters were not particularly powerful, their numbers were enormous and were growing rapidly.
