Chapter 82 The Fathead Fish Displays Its Power
Seeing that Ah Chen had temporarily trapped the flock of birds, Nie Xiaoxiao launched three poison bombs in succession into the giant space formed by divine consciousness.
The poison bombs exploded in space, bursting into a kaleidoscope of colors, looking just like fireworks set off during a festival.
"No wonder it's called a firework tube! Senior Sister Nie, your magic weapon is quite nice. Can I have one custom-made based on its design?" Achen asked with a smile.
"What do you need this for? You're not good at using poison powder!" Nie Xiaoxiao said.
"I want to use it to set off fireworks for my sister!" Ah Chen's smile was filled with rare tenderness and doting, clearly showing that he was a serious sister-obsessed person.
"Hmph! Look at you, so pathetic!" Nie Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
The poison bombs were quite effective; more than 30 of the hundred-plus Black Fire Falcons were taken down.
Naturally, everyone seized this golden opportunity and rushed to finish off the fallen bird.
At this moment, Lele's magical artifact, the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Soul-Severing Umbrella, showed its advantage as a group attack artifact, and she alone cut off the throats of fifteen large birds.
The others also seized the opportunity and killed the remaining poisoned birds.
At this moment, the flock of birds finally came to their senses and began to struggle left and right, trying to break out of Achen's space as soon as possible.
Ni Zhiyong dared not hold back at this moment, releasing dozens of snake-head vines to tightly entangle the large birds that were desperately pecking at the edge of the space with their beaks.
Nie Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone, and directed her fairy to launch a spiked attack on the large birds.
Xianxian is now able to launch hundreds of spikes at once, although they may not all hit their targets, and even if they do, they may not be able to penetrate the steel-hard feathers of these Black Fiery Falcons.
But occasionally, one or two sharp spikes would hit the eye of one of the large birds.
Although the poison of Xianxian's fairy thorns is not very strong, after piercing the big bird's eye, it caused both pain and itching, and the eye was naturally ruined.
Although everyone attacked with all their might, the giant birds finally broke out of the space constructed by Achen's divine consciousness.
Several large birds with burning feathers swooped menacingly at the group. Leng Qiuchan threw out a few fire talismans and casually poured a bucket of vegetable oil on them.
This trick was taught to her by Ah Chen. Although it's not exactly an innovation in talismans, using it in this way multiplies the effect of the fire talisman several times over.
Even if the feathers of the Blackfire Falcon are very hard, they are still feathers after all.
Feathers are flammable, and their extremely high speed during flight creates gusts of wind.
The wind fanned the flames, making the feathers burn even faster.
A mournful cry echoed from the sky, accompanied by the smell of burning feathers and the aroma of meat roasting on the bird's body after the feathers had burned out.
In an instant, the burned feathers fell one after another, and the mournful cries of the large birds rose and fell.
However, the Black Falcon is a very ruthless bird of prey, and the larger birds behind it will not shrink back just because they are frustrated in front.
Finally, a dozen or so large birds swooped down to the ground and began fighting with everyone.
At this moment, Ah Chen no longer held back, and threw out all sorts of talismans he had prepared in advance as if they were free.
First, apply several Vajra Talismans to each teammate to enhance their defensive capabilities.
Then he threw out a dozen or so enhanced whirlwind talismans. Although these talismans were not very powerful, they could disrupt the flight path of the large birds.
Imagine a bird encountering a storm; how can it still fly in a straight line?
With the assistance of Achen's talisman, the combat-oriented sword cultivators were able to unleash their greatest strengths.
In just over ten minutes, six bird heads, fifteen bird wings, and eighteen bird claws were severed.
Of course, everyone was also injured in the battle, with chunks of flesh being pecked off their arms, chests, and backs by bird beaks.
However, the combat students were all very strong, and no one cried out in pain, including Meng Hanhai, whom no one liked.
Moreover, Meng Hanhai was indeed the most outstanding in this battle. He was the most decisive and ruthless in his sword strikes, and he was also the most fearless in the face of death.
Lin Zixia and his companion, both puppet-type users, showed no mercy, unleashing all their puppets to fight off the giant birds.
Despite everyone's best efforts, there were still seventy or eighty birds left in the sky.
At this moment, Ah Chen didn't care about whether he was breaking the rules. He secretly summoned the fathead fish and made it pretend to fly over from a distance.
Then, in their despair, the crowd saw a giant bird suddenly fly in from the horizon.
The bird was ten zhang long, and its sea-blue body was breathtakingly beautiful.
No one knew what the giant bird's purpose was, but everyone knew that if the bird was targeting them, they were doomed.
However, no one actively crushed the teleportation talisman to exit the trial; they wanted to persevere until the very last moment.
Even in defeat, one should still be honorable!
The fathead fish released its divine beast aura from a distance of over a hundred meters, simultaneously letting out a piercing shriek: "Screech—"
Although the fathead fish is only at the fifth level now, it is not enough to intimidate a large group of fourth-level raptors with its single fifth-level strength, but its cry is full of ferocity and has a feeling of piercing through clouds and breaking rocks.
In addition, the divine beast aura it released really frightened this group of Black Fiery Falcons.
Monsters have an ingrained hierarchy, and they will unconsciously submit to races with more noble bloodlines.
Divine beasts are precisely the beings that all demon races fear the most.
Before the fathead fish even flew close, the flock of black fiery falcons scattered in terror, abandoning all pretense of their group formation.
The fathead fish followed them at a distance until it had chased them far away, then quietly disappeared and returned to Ah Chen's neck to continue pretending to be an accessory.
Xiao Shi casually tapped A Chen on the forehead and transmitted his voice, "Haha! You got caught this time, didn't you? Cheating! Serious cheating!"
"How did I cheat? My fathead fish is only at level five. What's wrong with using it to deal with a group of level four raptors?"
"If you really think I cheated, you can go and complain to the headmaster of the academy and see if he punishes me," Achen said, pursing his lips.
"Hmph! I wouldn't stoop to tattling!" Xiao Shi said, walking away with his hands behind his back.
He hasn't had enough fun yet. If Achen can stay in this training ground for a while longer, he can have even more fun.
**
At the same time, in a secret room inside the academy, the four walls were covered with live footage.
This is a scene transmitted back from the realm by the Heavenly Mirror, a treasured artifact of the academy.
The dean, along with the ten department heads and other instructors from the academy, were all intently watching the screen, so much so that no one bothered to take a sip of the spiritual tea placed in front of them, even though it had gone completely cold.
Suddenly, Long Qiushuang, the head of the Combat Department, pointed at the fathead fish in the picture and said, "A Kunpeng cub?! Can anyone tell me when such a thing appeared in the Spirit Realm Trial Grounds?"
"We don't know!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.
“However, I suspect it might have been done by Zuo Chen,” Dean You Kunpeng said.
"Impossible! This is slander! You think you can smear our talisman-making department's reputation so you can take the opportunity to transfer the talent to your own name?" Head Instructor Chang of the talisman-making department immediately protested.
"I was just stating my speculation, how did it escalate to the point of smearing students?" You Kunpeng said, both amused and exasperated.
He knew that Instructor Chang valued Zuo Chen highly, but he didn't expect that Zuo Chen would get so angry after he mentioned just one possibility!
"What speculation? I think you're just making wild guesses without any evidence!" Instructor Chang said.
"Facts speak louder than words! Come on, let's replay the footage so you can see clearly, and then you'll know where my speculation came from," You Kunpeng said with a smile.
The scene rewinds to the part where the battle is extremely fierce, with all the trainees looking desperate, yet still fighting desperately.
Only Ah Chen lowered his head and pulled a necklace from his neck. The image froze on the necklace pendant, which the dean slowly zoomed in on.
Now everyone could see clearly that the pendant was a miniature version of a baby Kunpeng.
Then the scene continued to advance, and a dozen or so breaths later, a giant bird flew in from the horizon, which was the young Kunpeng!
