"Chirp~~~" The black bird let out a long cry and plummeted toward the ground.
As the group landed, the dark creatures below became restless again and rushed towards them.
"Prepare to use Earth Escape!" Ye Xi shouted to the ground beside him, wielding his silver blade, instantly sweeping away a large number of low-level ghouls in front of him.
Using this open space, everyone landed, and at the same time, the black bird shrank in size, turning into a large bird over two meters long.
Although this size is not small, it is much lighter and more agile than the previous one, which was over ten meters tall.
"No, there are dark creatures chasing us from below. We can't go down!" The Earth God and Mount Tai said grimly as they carefully sensed the situation underground.
Dark creatures existed in the sky, on the ground, and underground—something no one had ever imagined.
"No way? This is like being trapped with nowhere to go!" Ye Ying exclaimed. In this situation, let alone getting the trident, even survival would be difficult!
"No door! Then smash one open!" Ye Xi said sharply, his body surging with moonlight power, clearing away the dark creatures in front of him, and leading everyone to continue charging towards the Trident of the Sea God.
"Taishan, you go in by yourself later. Make sure you get the trident back. The rest of us will hold off these bastards outside!" Ye Xi shouted to Taishan beside him, while simultaneously wielding another moon blade, slaying a dark predator that pounced on him.
This is the origin of darkness. The war of the gods of Nipraton annihilated everything, and thus the dark creatures that were born are mostly those that are truly dark creatures: dark predators, dark thugs, dark lurkers... Dark creatures that are rarely seen in the outside world are the main group here.
"No way? Are you kidding me? These dark creatures, how can a few of you possibly stop them?" Taishan stared wide-eyed at Ye Xi and shouted in disbelief.
"Stop talking nonsense, we won't fight them head-on. We'll rely on the land and the Xuan Bird to deal with them. Get the Trident of the Sea God as soon as possible, and we'll meet you outside!" Ye Xi shouted loudly.
By this time, there were already many dark creatures behind them, and more were constantly charging towards them from the front.
Moreover, the flying creatures in the sky continued to hover above their heads, swooping down to attack from time to time, which was only defended by Michael, the Black Bird, and the Hou.
"This? Fine! You all better live well!" Taishan looked at the dark creatures around him and said through gritted teeth.
"Nonsense, of course he should live! Michael, grant him divine protection!" Ye Xi shouted.
Upon hearing her words, Michael reached out, and a faint radiance enveloped Mount Tai, dispelling the corrosive dark energy around him.
"This protection can only keep you safe for ten minutes. If you don't come out after ten minutes, you'll have to rely on your own willpower to resist!" Michael said as he finished casting the spell.
"Ten minutes? Okay! Wait for me to come back!" Taishan looked at the radiance on his body, then suddenly fell to the ground.
This space was not large to begin with. With the flight of the black bird and everyone's sprint, they had already reached the edge of the sea of lightning. If they continued forward, there was a possibility of being struck by lightning.
They are only a group of Tier 4 units, far from being able to withstand the lightning from these divine artifacts. The divine power contained within them is something that ordinary people cannot contend with.
"Land, compact the soil and stop those things below!" Ye Xi shouted to the land beside him as he stopped.
At the same time, the others instantly engaged in battle with numerous dark creatures.
The Hou pounced directly at the black-spotted vulture. The difference in strength between the two ranks did not frighten it in the slightest. Even after being swatted away by the vulture several times, it still charged forward relentlessly.
On the other side, Ye Xi and the others were fighting with the dark creatures on the ground. Fortunately, the creatures that came were only low-level ones, and they could hold them off for a short time.
However, as time went on, the higher-level dark creatures came out one after another, and the group had no choice but to retreat.
Everyone returned to the back of the Black Bird, which carried them as they flew around the Trident of the Sea God.
"Roar~~~" The dark creatures on the ground roared towards the sky, and some of the dark creatures with ranged attack capabilities even launched an attack on the Xuan Bird.
Not only that, but the flying birds in the sky also came after them, including a large number of fourth and fifth-tier creatures.
"Hmph! Watch my Awei Eighteen Styles - Old Man Pushing a Cart!" Seizing the opportunity, Ye Ying slapped at a dark raven beside her. Her palm, imbued with the power of moonlight, struck down and instantly turned it into a cloud of blood mist.
Upon hearing Ye Ying's voice, everyone was startled and turned to look at her with strange expressions. However, she seemed oblivious to their surroundings, continuing to look at her own palm with amusement.
"These eighteen styles of Awei are quite useful, aren't they? Let's try the next move, Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus!" Ye Ying said, leaping off the back of the Xuan Bird and suddenly sitting down on a level 4 Dark Raven next to her.
With a sudden burst of power like a nuclear bomb, the dark raven was blasted into a cloud of blood mist before it could even land. Ye Ying used the recoil to lightly leap back onto the back of the black bird.
"Again! Poison Dragon Drill!" Her fair right hand curled up, and she threw a punch.
"Pfft~~~" This time, the Dark Raven wasn't blasted into a bloody mist; it was pierced through and completely silenced!
"What is this? The Eighteen Forms of Awei from the Sutra Repository?" Ye Ling turned her head, looked at Ye Xi beside her, and asked blankly.
"Should be? Right?" Ye Xi nodded uncertainly, deciding to go back and take a look.
Although the name of the Awei Eighteen Styles is unconventional, its energy circulation and utilization are quite unique, allowing users to unleash several times their original combat power.
"Looks like I'll have to study them properly when I get back, even though the names of these moves all sound..." Ye Ling said with a troubled expression.
When the book was first placed in the library, they all went to read it, but as they read, they were all discouraged by the names of the moves inside. No one expected that these moves would be so powerful.
"Hehe! This old man has learned a few tricks, hit you right!" The land god next to him chuckled, waved his right hand, and a ball of pure energy shot out, blasting a dark raven not far away into ashes.
Not only that, Mount Tai, which finally emerged from the ground, leaped high into the air and, with a roar, smashed his fist, which was filled with enormous energy, down onto the ground.
"Boom~~~" Cracks appeared in the ground, and several mutated ground rats that sprang out from underground were instantly reduced to ashes. At this moment, Mount Tai's voice reached everyone's ears.
"One shot, one kill!"
