Lu Yilin's problem did not affect Zizhou and his team's spirit to continue exploring, not to mention that they had already come this far without a team member. Although it was Lu Yilin's own fault, it still affected the team. However, Ai Jiangtu and his team could not just give up like that.
Arriving at the ruined city of Peru, Mo Fan and his companions did not find what they needed, only a desert. It was Zizhou who found the wild soul species under the guidance of Yan Ling. What surprised Zizhou was that this soul seed had its own domain, which was the scene presented in front of them. Anyone approached by the demon would be torn into pieces, and this soul seed seemed to be able to hide itself. If it weren't for Yan Ling's skills in this area, it would probably have been overlooked.
Mo Fan and the others wanted to go in, but Zizhou didn't want to go in, so when Zizhou said he couldn't go in, many people were confused, but they couldn't see anything, so they didn't care about Zizhou. Ai Jiangtu did notice something, but he knew very well that this was a personal resource, and since Zizhou was sure, he would not interfere.
Finally, after arduous efforts, Zizhou successfully captured the soul seed with the help of Jiao Miguo's unique reverse mental barrier. However, this soul seed was extremely wild and unruly, with no intention of surrendering at all. Although it had been caught, it still struggled desperately when it was put into the container, causing Zizhou to be unfortunately injured. A streak of blood instantly appeared on Zizhou's cheek, as eye-catching as a red silk thread. Not only that, his clothes were torn to shreds, with many damaged parts clearly visible. Even the muscles on his waist were faintly visible under the torn clothes, as if they would break free from their restraints and reveal themselves at any time.
At this time, Ai Jiangtu and others returned empty-handed after their exploration. When their eyes fell on Zizhou, they were shocked because Zizhou looked quite embarrassed.
Seeing this, Ai Jiangtu rushed forward without hesitation and asked with concern, "Zizhou, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
You know, Zizhou is usually very sensible and rarely gets hurt, let alone being in such a miserable state as he is now. Therefore, Ai Jiangtu couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, wondering whether someone or a demon had launched a surprise attack on Zizhou.
Facing Ai Jiangtu's question, Zizhou remained calm and composed. He shook his head gently, and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on his face. In this dry and desolate desert, his smile seemed to bring a breath of spring, making people feel warmth and hope.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just had a minor accident."
Zizhou answered lightly, as if he didn't take the injury seriously.
Although Zizhou did not express it clearly, his slightly upturned mouth corners and brisk steps made Ai Jiangtu keenly aware that Zizhou was in a very good mood at the moment. However, Ai Jiangtu did not continue to ask, because he knew that everyone has their own secrets. So he turned around and said to his companions who still had some resentful looks on their faces: "Okay, let's go back first."
In this way, the group began their journey home.
But the way back was not as smooth as they had imagined. Not long after they walked out, a large group of strange birds swooped towards them like a dark cloud. These strange birds are a strange blue color all over, and their number is staggering, as if the entire sky is occupied by them.
Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue and Zizhou looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion. They couldn't understand why they were suddenly attacked by such a large number of strange birds. Could it be that, as they originally thought, they had accidentally entered this mysterious Peruvian ruins and were thus chased by this group of strange birds? Faced with these overwhelming blue strange birds, everyone was in extreme danger for a while.
Who knew that everyone else knew about this strange bird, and it seemed to have been chasing them for a long time.
Zizhou frowned and asked suspiciously, "Did you take anything important from them? Otherwise, why would these guys keep chasing you for so long?"
As he spoke, he glanced sharply at everyone.
After hearing this, Ai Jiangtu also began to think seriously along Zizhou's lines of thought. However, after thinking about it, they realized that they had not taken any items. Just after stepping into that place, they were immediately chased and killed by this group of strange birds.
Seeing this, Zizhou decided to use his powerful mental power to detect the mental fluctuations of other team members. After some careful investigation, he confirmed that no one was lying, which meant that the problem was not with them. If this is the case, what exactly caused them to become the target of the strange bird flock's relentless pursuit? For a moment, everyone was in deep confusion.
At this moment, the overwhelming and dense flock of strange birds in the sky came rushing towards them like a black torrent. They seemed to completely disregard life and death, and rushed towards everyone one after another! The number is simply staggering. Even if you try your best to kill them all, it seems difficult to eliminate them all.
Faced with such a fierce attack, everyone gradually felt that they were overwhelmed. At the critical moment, Ai Jiangtu acted decisively and led everyone to rush into the legendary lightning storm zone. You know, this is the place where Zizhou originally obtained the precious soul seeds. Although the soul seed is no longer there, the terrible lightning storm still exists. From this, we can infer that it must be because of this unique lightning storm area that the rare soul seed was born. There is no doubt that this is the natural nourishment place for soul seeds.

Even with the advantages brought by the natural terrain, these strange birds showed no intention of retreating. Seeing this, Zizhou couldn't help but frown and complain in his heart. The current situation is really tricky. They can neither leave this place smoothly nor completely get rid of this group of troublesome strange birds. It seems that the only way out is to confront them head-on.
"Mo Fan, come and help me!"
Zizhou shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty field. Then, Zizhou's whole body emanated bursts of biting cold air. The cold air seemed to have life and quickly overflowed from his body, forming balls of ice-blue mist, which continued to spread in all directions.
As the ice-blue mist spread, the originally dry sand and gravel around it were instantly frozen into ice. As for those strange birds that were rushing towards Zizhou with great momentum, some of them were directly frozen into crystal clear ice sculptures the moment they came into contact with the cold mist, becoming unable to move; while those strange birds that were slightly stronger only had their wings and claws covered with a thick layer of ice, and their movements became extremely slow, no longer as agile and ferocious as before.
Seeing this, everyone used attack magic to shoot down the strange birds that were still rushing forward, and Mo Fan directly used the high-level Sky Flame Funeral to kill all the ten thousand strange birds.
Now everyone was able to escape, and the remaining few strange birds flew away, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally left, huhu~"
"It's just too hard to kill!"
“Fufufu~ What if they come again in the future?!”
Zhao Manfan's words were met with disdain from everyone.
"Shut up!"*12
Because of the battle just now, Ai Jiangtu and his companions had unknowingly walked into the center of the lightning storm. Since Zizhou's ice field had frozen a part of the area, they had unknowingly entered it.
This also led them to discover the secret at the center of the lightning storm - the city. Like a lost world.
