Chapter 55 Aerial Combat: First Victory!
It had just rained heavily, and the sky was still overcast.
Such weather should have been a cause for celebration for the people of the Dust Continent.
After all, this continent has been arid for many years, so rainwater is extremely precious to everyone.
Nie Xiaoxiao was pacing back and forth in the cave, feeling bored, because Achen wouldn't allow her to go out for a stroll.
"Junior Brother Chen, what exactly are you worried about?"
My current strength has broken through to the first level of the Tongtian Realm, and my Xianxian, after more than ten years of recuperation, has also fully recovered and broken through to the eighth level.
"If we go out there, even if we encounter some strange beasts that we can't defeat, we can easily escape," Nie Xiaoxiao complained.
Ever since their group was ordered to deal with the strange beasts and birds, they have been searching everywhere.
However, the sky is so vast that finding birds from another world is not easy.
They have been out for half a month, but still haven't found a single strange beast or bird.
During the exploration, they unintentionally encountered a few lone land beasts that had escaped the net, but they all wiped them out.
"Don't forget that our target is exotic beasts and birds. When Xi'er and the others passed by the 63rd Regiment's garrison, they encountered a group of exotic beasts and birds."
Even if you and Xianxian are very strong, it will be difficult for you to escape once you are surrounded by a flock of birds.
"You know, they had to combine the power of Fusheng, Ruomeng, and three Purple Demons to break through the flock of birds," Achen said.
"Alright, alright, I know that Xianxian and I aren't strong enough, but it's such a waste of time for us to stay in this cave like this," Nie Xiaoxiao said.
Just as Achen was about to speak, the communication jade slip lit up. After clicking on it, Matt's urgent voice came from inside:
“Young Master Chen, my spiritual net has detected spiritual energy fluctuations in the sky more than fifty miles away.”
Mina has already summoned a tornado and gone to investigate. Do you want to come over?
Their team actually consists of Achen, Nie Xiaoxiao, Matt, and Mina.
Of course, there are also Achen's contracted beasts, Long Batian and Pangtouyu.
Early this morning, Long Batian took Matt and Mina out to investigate the situation.
Nie Xiaoxiao was still asleep at the time, so Achen stayed to keep her company.
Fathead Fish had just broken through to the seventh level and was busy consolidating his cultivation, so he didn't go.
Upon hearing the message from Matt, the fathead fish immediately transformed into its original form, carrying Achen and Nie Xiaoxiao, and flew towards the mental coordinates given by Matt.
The fathead fish is now large enough that when fully extended, it can blot out the sky.
However, fully unfolding it consumes too much spiritual energy, so it usually only maintains a length of about two meters to reduce energy loss.
But even though it is only a little over two meters long, it flies at an astonishing speed.
Just five minutes later, it appeared next to Matt.
Upon seeing them, Matt said urgently, "Hurry up, Mina has already collided with those strange beasts and birds."
Mina was only about 30 miles away from Matt. When the fathead fish heard that she was in danger, it immediately increased its size tenfold.
The enormous creature, over twenty meters tall, flapped its wings and flew toward the target. In less than three minutes, everyone saw the flock of birds.
This is a flock of enormous birds, each averaging eight or nine meters long, with heads resembling owls and bodies like pterosaurs.
Their feathers shimmered with a dark purplish-gold luster in the post-rain sunlight, their wings were black at the edges, and sparks flew as the feathers rubbed against each other.
It's quite scary just to look at.
At this moment, Mina was hiding in the eye of her tornado, unleashing countless wind blades at the flock of large birds.
However, her wind blades could not cause any real damage to the flock of large birds, only cutting off some feather fragments.
The flock of birds is enraged and is closing in, trying to rush into the eye of her tornado and devour her.
The fathead fish is the only one with wings among Achen's group. Although it is still a Kunpeng cub, the Kunpeng clan is born to be the overlords of the sky.
It immediately let out a series of calls to the flock of birds: "Chirp chirp chirp!"
The cry sounded utterly intimidating, but the noble bloodline of the Kunpeng clan released a pressure that briefly threw the flock into chaos.
Achen hadn't expected that the Kunpeng bloodline would be just as intimidating even against exotic beasts and birds.
However, since the fathead fish had created an opportunity for everyone, they certainly couldn't miss it.
Long Batian was the first to shoot out his long tongue, attacking the largest one of them.
With his extensive combat experience, he knew that whether it was birds or beasts, as long as they lived in groups, the strategy of capturing the leader first was always correct.
Matt, who was also experienced in combat, immediately launched a soul attack on the largest bird upon seeing Long Batian's actions.
Seeing this, Ah Chen naturally had to clear the way for them. He threw out a stack of Snow Elf AoE Talismans, forcing the flock of birds around the Bird King to resist his attack.
After being attacked, the flock of birds was preoccupied with their own survival for a short period of time, and of course, they were unable to protect their alpha male.
Land beasts are much more powerful than birds, especially large land beasts like Long Batian.
Of course, this is on the premise that he has a large bird like a bighead carp to carry him, allowing him to easily approach the flock of birds.
The combined physical attack from Long Batian and the mental attack from Matt resulted in a devastating blow to Wang Niao.
It let out a mournful cry, its body twisting and turning as it plummeted from the air to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the bighead carp swooped down and slammed its large head heavily onto the king bird's back.
Birds typically have lightweight skeletons, which makes them less resistant to impacts.
The bighead carp is an anomaly among birds, as it is an amphibian that can be found in both the ocean and the sky, making it a unique species in the world.
Its head struck the king bird's spine, instantly breaking its vertebrae. Like a kite with a broken string, the king bird could no longer maintain its downward momentum and plummeted vertically to the ground.
Only its dying screams remained in the air, which made the flock of birds in the sky even more panicked.
Without their king bird, the flock began to act independently and could no longer cooperate.
The bighead carp rose higher again and charged towards the flock of birds.
At this moment, Ah Chen had already cast the Mental Cage, trapping several large birds.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nie Xiaoxiao directed Xianxian to unleash a concentrated attack with her poisonous and sharp cactus thorns, as if they were free.
Under the intense attack, the large bird began to be injured.
The venom of the immortal thorns that Xianxian is now using is extremely potent, almost to the point of causing death upon contact with blood.
The injured birds quickly showed signs of poisoning and lost control of their flight path, falling towards the ground.
While Achen and Nie Xiaoxiao focused their attacks on several large birds, Matt released a mental net, trapping the other large birds within it.
Although his mental net couldn't hold them for long, it did create opportunities for Ah Chen and the others.
The thirty-odd large birds were quickly killed or wounded in their concentrated attacks, leaving only three or five clever ones that desperately tried to escape.
However, they were no match for the fathead fish, and it quickly caught up with them, smashing their spines with a fatal headbutt.
Although everyone was scratched by bird claws in this battle, no one was seriously injured overall.
After annihilating more than thirty large birds in one fell swoop, everyone happily returned to the ground and collected their spoils.
These exotic beasts and birds, whether their bones or feathers, are rare materials for refining weapons.
Their blood contains rich spiritual energy, making it an extremely rare material for Achen when drawing talismans.
After the news was sent back, the High Priest was overjoyed: he had indeed made the right choice in selecting Xi'er as his successor. Her supporters were all incredibly capable, and even their weakest area, aerial combat, had been improved.
