"Archangel's Sword!" A majestic voice echoed in the sky, and a massive sword of holy light descended from the heavens, swiftly slashing down in this direction.
"Boom!" The enormous holy sword slashed around, cutting many demonic trees in half, and also terrifying the other demonic trees.
"Roar~~~" The remaining demon trees roared and turned their heads to look at the sky. They saw Michael flying at the forefront, wielding his Radiant Sword and unleashing beams of holy light in their direction.
Closely following behind her was a flock of black birds, their bodies enveloped in flames, swooping down towards them like fire phoenixes.
Whether it was the fifth-order four-winged angel or the fourth-order peak Xuan Bird, their strength far surpassed that of these demonic trees. Moreover, their flight speed was extremely fast, and they arrived in just over ten seconds. In order to rescue people as quickly as possible, Michael did not hesitate to use various powerful moves in advance to attract the attention of the demonic trees and give Ye Ying and the others a chance to escape.
"Reinforcements have arrived! Hold on, everyone!" Hearing the roar around them and feeling the immense power of the holy light, Ye Ying and the angels beside her were overjoyed and shouted to each other.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts. Their exhausted bodies regained a sliver of strength as they desperately dodged the attacks of the demonic tree.
"Chirp~~~" The cry of the black bird rang out. Michael slowed down a bit in order to attract the attack of the demon tree. The black bird caught up and poured down a large amount of flames.
The terrifyingly high temperature was so intense that it could ignite at the slightest touch. All the demonic trees were ignited one after another, turning into a raging inferno that illuminated the entire mountain.
Although Ye Ying and the others felt extremely hot amidst the sea of fire, they felt relaxed. The familiar flames only brought them a sense of security.
With the demonic trees no longer attacking, they were too busy to care for themselves. Everyone gathered together, waiting for the black bird to rescue them, while carefully avoiding falling branches.
The flames spread rapidly, and all the demonic trees struggled in a sea of fire. They had no intention of continuing to hunt down Ye Ying and the others, or even seeking revenge against the Xuan Bird. They only wanted to extinguish the flames on their bodies as quickly as possible.
But these flames were spewed out by the Xuan Bird, so how could they be ordinary fire? Although they were not as terrifying as the True Flame of the Sun, or even as powerful as the Samadhi True Fire, they could not be extinguished by ordinary water. A large number of demonic trees were burned to ashes in the flames.
"Chirp~~~" Two black birds darted through the sea of fire, completely unafraid of such high temperatures. In the blink of an eye, Ye Ying and the others landed on their backs and then flew up into the sky together.
Although the Black Bird also had flames burning on its body, it could control the flames to avoid harming its own people. Not only that, it could also burn away the dark aura on their bodies. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited to follow the Black Bird's team back to the main force.
"What happened here? What happened to you?" At this moment, Michael flew over and asked Ye Ying and the others.
The Demon Tree lacks anti-air capabilities, so as long as the Black Bird flies high enough, there's no need to worry about being attacked; it can simply unleash its flames.
"At first, we discovered traces of a large number of dark creatures, but they were not very strong. However, as we went deeper, we found that we were surrounded by the Dark Demon Tree!" Ye Ying said with a hint of self-reproach. Although they were rescued, many of their sisters lost their lives forever, especially the dozen or so fire crows that came with them. They were completely wiped out, not a single one was left.
With such a large number of casualties, she naturally bears the primary responsibility.
“You were too careless, and you know too little about the darkness!” Michael said calmly. She had no right to accuse them, since they did not belong to the same lord; she was simply stating a fact.
Ye Ying nodded silently. What the other party said was right. They really knew too little about the darkness. However, this was not only their problem, but also a problem that all new lords had to face.
The recruited members of the clan possess only talent; it does not mean they are born with sufficient understanding of darkness. This experience and awareness can only be developed through life-and-death trials.
"That's right! The Demon Trees aren't a race that's good at moving around, so there must be something providing them with energy and nutrients where they grow!" Ye Ying frankly admitted her mistake, then thought for a moment and said.
This was her first thought after discovering the magic tree, since their purpose in coming out was to find rare resources to expand their territory.
"A rare treasure?" Michael was taken aback, then looked at the demonic trees below that had turned into a sea of fire, and immediately nodded. "Go and find them!"
At a command, all the Xuan Birds soared into the sky once more, flying towards the depths of the mountains, where there were more and more powerful demonic trees. However, due to the elemental advantage, the Xuan Birds were not afraid.
On the other side, Ye Xi and the others also saw what was happening here. Large flames illuminated the entire mountain, turning the surrounding area a fiery red.
"Ye Xi, Michael and the Black Bird are continuing to fly inwards!" Ye Ling turned her head and shouted to Ye Xi.
They were also fighting against the demonic trees, and were even enduring the impact of a large number of demonic trees, so the pressure was immense.
After all, all the Xuan Birds had flown out, and the Fire Crows alone couldn't even completely ignite a single Demon Tree; the flames of the two sides were not even in the same league.
"Don't worry about them, Ye Ying and the others have been rescued. Just focus on blocking the demonic tree here!" Ye Chen's voice came from the projection. Michael had been in communication with Jian Mengyi, so he naturally knew the situation there.
"Alright! Mage troops, prepare fire magic! Goblins, use incendiary bombs and the like!" Ye Xi gave the order quickly. One mountain god after another rushed forward to block the emerging demonic trees, while the elven mages behind them unleashed a series of fire spells, igniting the surrounding demonic trees.
"Thunder, come!" Mount Tai roared, wielding the Trident of Poseidon, and dark clouds immediately filled the sky.
"Boom~~~" A thunderous sound rang out, and a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, illuminating most of the night sky and revealing the terrifying figure of the demonic tree.
"Roar~~~" A thick bolt of lightning cleaved a demonic tree in half, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire, while also blocking the advance of the other demonic trees.
"Well done!" Ye Chen clapped his hands and cheered. Even without the Xuan Bird, the lightning of the Thunder God could still create a large sea of fire, it would just be a bit more troublesome.
However, the demonic trees here are weaker than those Ye Ying encountered before, and with a large number of fire crows and fire mages, they are not difficult to stop.
