Ye Xi fell very fast; apart from the howling wind, her cries for help could not be heard in the projection.
But as they watched the ground draw ever closer, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. Ye Xi wasn't Mount Tai; she couldn't fly. Falling from such a height would almost certainly mean certain death.
"Ye Xi!" Taishan roared from ahead, flying madly toward her, but he was too far away to catch up.
Michael and the Black Birds were also entangled by a huge number of vines and could not break free in a short time.
"Damn it!" Ye Chen cursed inwardly. If he hadn't agreed to let Ye Xi go with him, this would not have happened.
Just as everyone was in despair, the projected image suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver-white light, and Ye Chen and the others could no longer see anything clearly.
"What is this? Quick! The image over there by Michael!" Ye Chen shouted, turning his gaze to the projected image on Michael's body. However, Michael was in grave danger amidst the vines of the Dark Demon Tree King, and the projected image flashed by so quickly that nothing could be seen clearly.
Finally, after Michael dodged another vine, the projected image turned to the direction where Ye Xi fell. Although it only lasted a few seconds, it made everyone frown, because apart from a ball of white light like moonlight, nothing could be seen.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a sound of something falling rang out, and the projected image on Ye Xi's side broke, probably because it hit the ground and shattered.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The projection falling to the ground meant that Ye Xi had fallen as well. Any other changes were now meaningless; it was impossible for her to survive falling from such a height.
Ye Chen clenched his fists, his eyes filled with self-reproach. This was the first batch of familiars he had recruited, and the first Yue'e to be recruited. She was also the chief steward of his territory and the leader of all the familiars.
But now, just as they were about to become official lords and leave the trial space, they have perished here.
"Hahaha!" Ye Chen suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone was puzzled, but they noticed a glistening tear rolling down the corner of his eye.
"What an idiot I am! A level 6 dark creature, how can it be so easy to deal with? Why did I let her run over there? What was she going to do there? Go to her death?" Ye Chen cursed at himself, raised his right hand and slapped it hard against his cheek, leaving a bright red palm print.
"Ye Chen! Don't be like this! No one expected this situation!" Jian Mengyi grabbed his hand to comfort him, but knew it was no use.
"That's right! Brother Chen, and the Xuan Birds are still fighting the Dark Demon Tree King. How can they fight like this? What if they all end up here? We have to avenge Ye Xi!" the fat man shouted, his words clearly more effective than Jian Mengyi's comforting words.
Ye Chen looked at the black birds in the projection and saw that many of them were struggling against the attack of the vines, but they could not break through.
"You're right, we must avenge Ye Xi! Michael, use the magic crystal missiles to blast a path for me!" Ye Chen took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shouted loudly at Michael in the projection.
Upon hearing this, Michael was also taken aback. The magic crystal missiles that had been agreed upon were not meant to be used at this time!
"This?" Since it wasn't his lord, Michael didn't react immediately, but instead looked at the projection.
"Use it! If it doesn't work, withdraw it immediately!" Jian Mengyi said.
Upon hearing this, Michael finally nodded and, according to the pre-set instructions, released the magic crystal missiles on his body. Instantly, several missiles with flames shooting from their tails flew toward the Dark Demon Tree King at an extremely fast speed.
The Demon Tree King showed no mercy to anything that dared to approach it, unleashing countless vines that slashed at the missiles.
"Boom~~~" A deafening roar resounded, and endless flames instantly filled the sky. A large number of vines turned to ashes in the explosion.
"Roar~~~" A roar came from the darkness. It was the cry of the Dark Demon Tree King. A large number of vines were destroyed. Although it was not seriously injured, it still needed to consume a lot of energy to regenerate them.
Most importantly, with this breach opened, Michael and the Black Birds have rushed in.
"Chirp~~~" The black birds cried out, and the towering flames gradually lit up. As the black birds got closer and closer to the tree trunk, the twenty black birds that had transformed into flames also flew closer and closer, eventually merging into one, becoming a huge firebird, and rushing towards the Dark Demon Tree King.
"Holy Light above, Archangel's Sword!" With the Black Bird blocking his way, Michael was equally fearless. He raised his Radiant Divine Sword high, and a huge light sword appeared in his hand, its rich holy light energy preventing and annihilating all darkness.
"I am the God of Thunder, and shall wield thunder and lightning. Heavenly thunder descends upon the world!" Not only that, but the God of Thunder, Mount Tai, who had been blocking the Black Feather Vulture, also arrived. He held the Trident of Poseidon high above his head, and violent lightning flashed all around him, with booming sounds echoing in the sky.
The darkness, which was clearly illuminated by Michael's holy light, was now faintly filled with gathering dark clouds, from which lightning flashed and thunder roared. Thick bolts of lightning, accompanied by the roar of Mount Tai, crashed down.
"Boom~~~" The combined attack of the three forces, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, cleaved through countless vines and slammed into the trunk of the Dark Demon Tree King.
A deafening roar erupted, and a massive energy surge emanated from the tree trunk. The Demon Tree King let out a cry, and the earth trembled slightly. The flock of black-feathered vultures in the distance dared not approach and scattered in all directions.
"How is it?" The fat man looked excitedly at the projection, but the image was blurry due to the violent energy fluctuations.
"Roar~~~" Just then, the demon tree roared again, which made Ye Chen and the others feel a chill in their hearts.
That last attack was arguably the strongest attack delivered by everyone working together, yet even so, it couldn't kill the Demon Tree King?
Now, apart from the Black Bird, Michael and Mount Tai have exhausted their strength in the previous attack and are unable to fight again for a short time. Can the Black Bird alone defeat it?
"Hiss~~~" The sound of vines spreading rang out in the projection, and a large number of vines flew out from the flames of the explosion, striking towards Michael and Taishan.
The two were exhausted from the previous attack and could only try their best to dodge, retreating quickly to the outer perimeter. Only the black bird was still flying in the air, ignoring the numerous vines and continuing to attack the main trunk.
Just as everyone was in despair, a melodious female voice suddenly rang out in the darkness. Ye Chen was startled, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
"There is a country of women and the Moon Goddess... located in the northeast corner to stop the sun and moon, so that they do not appear and disappear at the same time, and to control their length."
