War of the Flocks

    

u are willing to pay the price, the royal family will still consider it." The head of the Mang Xiao family secretly transmitted a voice to Lu Xia Tian."Well, let's go in and talk about it." Lu Xiaoxi..."I didn't find anything. I just felt that Senior Brother Xun's fighting style when battling the cultivators from other domains was a bit similar to the person who ambushed me. There's no concrete evidence, though." 。It is best to avoid ill intentions towards others, but to always be prepared for the possibility of harm. 。Even among one's own sect, and the matter of being betrayed by fellow disciples is not unheard of. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head, remembering the perilous moment when Xun Xiu had attacked him. If he hadn't cultivated the mysterious Splitting Art, he would have almost certainly been defeated by Xun Xiu. 。It's important to have a kind heart but also to be wary of others. Su Qing and Luo Qian sipped on these words, pondering them carefully, and felt that Lu Xia Tian's actions were indeed like this. 。Especially Su Qing, having gone through more with Lu Xiaoxiao, especially when facing crises, Lu Xiaoxiao always seemed to be one step ahead, aware of the danger. This ability to read people's hearts is not something ordinary people possess. 。"As for Xun, I won't say anything. But what about this Hu Ruining Brother Lu, what have you noticed that's off" Su Qing asked with curiosity on her face. 。It's just an intuition, I can't explain it. If I had truly seen something was wrong with him, I wouldn't have let him leave so easily. 。Spreading rumors and gossip without any basis can cause unnecessary worry. 。Let's be more careful from now on. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled. 。Su Qing hummed softly, clearly not satisfied with Lu Xiaoteng's reply. However, since Lu Xiaoteng was unwilling to say anything, she had no other choice. As for Luo Qian, his brows furrowed slightly as if he were remembering something. He racked his brains, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. 。Just as Lu Xia Tian said that, Luo Qian also became somewhat wary. 。After Hu Ruining left, Su Qing naturally didn't take the two around in circles anymore. The three of them went straight northwest. 。As night fell, they stopped at the foot of a mountain to rest. 。They don't need to eat as frequently as ordinary people, but searching for Golden Fruits over such a large area and for an extended period is quite tiring. Under the circumstances of not consuming essence pearls or conserving pills, meditating to recover mana is essential. 。Lu Xiaottian was also meditating with his eyes closed. After an hour, the mana he had consumed before was almost recovered. As for the Yun Yuanzhu, it stored mana equivalent to twice his current amount, which played a significant role for him at this time, equivalent to having combat capabilities more than double that of usual. 。I wonder if Su Qing's one is even more remarkable, enough to keep her using the fish scale whip for a while. 。"Quack..." A hoarse, unpleasant sound rose, somewhat like the caw of a crow. 。Lu Xia Tian, Luo Qin, and Su Qing all stood up in surprise at the same time. In the distance, a sound of flapping wings connected into one piece 。

"Demonic birds, listening to this commotion, I'm afraid there are countless demonic birds..."

Lu Qian's face turned pale. As a Qi Refinement cultivator, his divine soul was powerful enough to sense that the number of demonic birds in the distance far exceeded what an ordinary person could imagine. 。Ground-based monsters posed little threat to them, but the aerial beasts were a different story. Even if they flew into the sky, they could still face endless pursuit. 。Maybe it's not targeting us, but we can't startle this demonic bird. Each of you should restrain your aura and absolutely avoid alarming it. 。Lu Xia Tian also wore a solemn expression. Ordinary beasts that lived in groups were usually not very powerful. They might have survived in harsh environments, and to maintain such a shocking number, they were typically extremely united and exclusive. 。Once an enemy is discovered, attack as a group. Even ants can kill an elephant if they work together. 。

Squeak.....

In the night, there was another sound of wings flapping.

Several people looked at each other in dismay. Sounds like this came from all directions, and they didn't know where to run. 。"There's a cave over there, let's go in and take cover." 。"Being out here in the open isn't a good idea; we could get discovered." 。Lu Xia Tian pointed to a cave in the dozens of mountains outside. 。Su Qing and Luo Qian nodded. A distance of several tens of zhang, with the abilities of a few people, it was still possible to conceal their breath and pass by. 。

Several people entered the cave one after another. Inside the cave, a dozen hedgehogs monsters ranging from second to third rank were easily knocked down by several people.

The deafening explosions outside sounded one after another, and the scorching heat formed waves of heat.

...This was a huge battle of demonic birds. Even though the cave was pitch black, it didn't affect their vision; they could see each other's faces clearly, and the surprise on their faces was visible to all... 。Lu XiaTian squinted his eyes, watching the two groups in the night sky engaged in a deadly battle. 。A flock of small blackbirds, called magpies, were responsible for the previous chattering sounds. 。The fire crows, as their name suggests, resembled ravens in appearance. However, the fireballs they spat were extraordinary. These fire crows blotted out the sun, swarming the sky densely, an endless sea of crimson wings. Lu Xia Tian couldn't fathom their numbers. Looking at them sent a shiver down his spine. He suspected that even a Golden Core cultivator caught in such a massive swarm would face imminent danger. 。Every raven has the strength of a second- or third-order creature, and there are very few flying birds that are fourth-order. 。

While fighting the firebirds was another group of crimson fire bats.

The crimson fire bat not only spits small fireballs but also has a set of sharp teeth. 。Whenever the opportunity arises, pounce upon it and tear at the fire crow. 。The overall strength of the fire bats is about the same as that of the fire crows. They are also a dense swarm in the sky, and the actual number is unclear. 。“Would these fire bats or firebirds fly into our cave” Su Qing’s face paled slightly. Even though the Yuanyuan Pearl on her body could allow her to last for a considerable amount of time, the sheer number of these demonic birds was enough to make one despair.” 。“They shouldn’t, at least not before they defeat the other side.” 。Besides, this place is so big, there are more than just us. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head. 。"What are we going to do now""What can we do Just wait, until the Fire Crow and Fire Bat finish their fight. It's a mess out there right now, if we go out, we'll just become targets. Both the Fire Crow and the Fire Bat will probably see us as a threat." 。Lu Xia Tian smiled wryly and shook his head. When he had been paying attention to Hu Ruining before, he had already been extremely careful, noting any potential threats around him. 。I didn't expect to still have overlooked some parts, but these demonic birds come and go without a trace. They happen to be in the battleground of two groups of demonic birds, so they are probably elsewhere. Given the number of these two groups, it is also possible that they are in the same situation. 。Su Qing's face was a bit unwilling, but she didn't have a good way. 。could only sit down dejectedly 。Three people sat in each corner of the cave, waiting for the two demonic birds to determine the victor. 。This wait lasted for three days, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of demon bird carcasses. 。The number of fire bats and fire ravens in the sky has thinned out a bit, but at a glance, there are still countless tiny black dots. 。There is no end. 。...The fire crow's strength was on par with the fire bat, but their numbers were inferior. After a three-day fierce battle, they suffered heavy losses, and their population looked much thinner. Finally, they couldn't hold on any longer. The leader, a peak level five fire crow, let out several mournful cries, forcing back the fire bat king, and took the remaining flock to retreat. 。This brutal interspecies war ended in a pyrrhic victory for the fire bats. 。

The air was filled with excited chirps.

The fire bats pursued for a while, then scattered densely in the air, flying towards the surrounding rocks, trees, and even caves. 。"What are these fire bats trying to do" Su Qing said with a grim expression. 。“I don't know, maybe after defeating the fire crow, it wants to consolidate its territory now.” 。Lu Xia Tian secretly guessed that after defeating the biggest enemy, it would be time to eliminate the internal threats on his territory. 。Looking at the hillside across from him, where a fire crow egg had been knocked to the ground by fire bats thrown out of their nest, Lu Xiaotian suddenly understood. These fire bats were invaders, having driven away the original inhabitants, the fire crows. 。Having taken over their territory, it's natural to want to eliminate any future threats. 。"This place can't be stayed any longer, the fire crow is not too far away from here right now. Once it flies further away, the fire bats will pose no other threats, and our situation will become even more difficult." 。"Come on!" Lu Xia Tian didn't care whether Su Qing and Luo Qian agreed or not, he rushed out directly. 。"Lu Senior Brother, wait for me 。Su Qing rushed out immediately. 。“Squeak....” The fire bats discovered an intruder in their line of sight, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of fire bats swooped in from all directions. 。Go in the direction that the morning crow left. 。Lu Xia Tian said in a deep voice. 。Hundreds of low-level fire bats surrounding them wasn't too much of a threat, but if there were thousands upon thousands, it would be very troublesome. 。Several people quickly switched to ordinary magical artifacts. After all, there were too many fire bats, and they couldn't be killed for a while. While the Dan Yuan artifact was powerful, it also consumed a lot of mana, which was not conducive to protracted warfare. 。Lu Xia Tian was just about to take out the Qing Feng Fan so that the three of them could leave 。Unexpectedly, Su Qing had already taken out a crescent-shaped flying shuttle. 。"Come on! Get up!" 。Su Qingjiao let out a sharp cry, her body lightly leaping onto the flying shuttle. She took both of them and sped forward at a faster pace than before. 。

Zzzt! A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and dozens of fire bats were charred and screamed as they fell from the air.

Meanwhile, Lu Xia Tian donned a black flying sword and was swiftly harvesting the lives of fire bats. 。Without using his Dan Yuan artifact, Lu Xia Tian's attacks were noticeably less powerful than Luo Qian's. 。Six fire bats, ranging from the fourth to fifth level, saw Luo Quan and his group's ferocity and immediately converged, swooping down towards the crescent-shaped flying shuttle controlled by Su Qing. 。The crescent-shaped flying shuttle is already faster than the average Foundation Establishment cultivator, but compared to a fire bat, a demonic beast adept at flying, its advantage is relatively limited. 。Especially among the six high-grade demonic birds, there are also three that are fifth grade, and their cultivation level is almost the same as Luo Qian and Su Qing. 。While one could certainly kill these demon birds at a cost if confronted directly, the process would inevitably slow them down. 。Once caught in the onslaught of a firebat swarm, the outcome is undoubtedly disastrous. 。Just judging by the way these high-level fire bats are charging over, if they don't slow down and we get hit head-on, things won't end well. 。Su Qing and Luo Qing both looked downcast, but their eyes were simultaneously fixed on Lu Xiaoteng. 。Keep moving forward, don't slow down. 。Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes. He didn't take this level of attack seriously at all. 。The left index finger extended forward, ice-cold and ethereal sound, erupting without warning. 。The lower-ranked fire bats hung in the air, as if their life had been drained instantly, and they plummeted straight to the ground. 。And the movements of the six high-grade fire bats also showed a brief halt. After all, only the five-tier peak fire bat king's cultivation was slightly higher than Lu Xiaoteng's. Lu Xiaoteng is now at the foundation building stage, and his divine sense far surpasses that of cultivators of the same rank. Those with lower cultivation than Lu Xiaoteng, without special magic weapon protection, would find it extremely difficult to withstand this move. 。Although these fire bats were quite powerful, they were only demonic birds after all. Besides their own strength, how could they compare to human cultivators who possessed various magical artifacts They were undoubtedly caught off guard, coming to a standstill. Although it was only for a brief moment, for Lu Xiaoteng, even a fleeting instant could determine many things. 。A black flying sword flashed in the air, and six high-level fire bats were all beheaded and fell from the sky, their bodies covered in blood. 。Su Qing gazed at Lu Xia Tian with admiration. Every time at such a crucial moment, beneath his seemingly ordinary exterior, Lu Xia Tian always had astonishing feats, turning the tide in an instant. 。Luo Chen was even more astonished and impressed. Last time, when he fought alongside Lu Xia Tian, Xun Xiu, and others against extraterrestrial cultivators, Lu Xia Tian had instantly killed several extraterrestrial cultivators. However, because it was a battle situation, Luo Chen hadn't personally witnessed the entire process with his own eyes... 。 。If it wasn't a magic weapon from the Dan Yuan School, what else could possess such power Could there be other incredibly powerful treasures on Lu Xia Tian’s person But just now, Lu Xia Tian made his move with no summons and didn't seem to use any treasures at all. 。Luo Qian couldn't figure out why. The six high-level fire bats fell in an instant. For the huge fire bat population, this was a huge loss. These six high-level fire bats not only had strong combat power but also were highly intelligent. In the recent battle with the crow flock, they played a crucial stabilizing role. 。If not for these guys, defeating the Corvus flock would have cost a lot more. 。Seeing Lu Xiaotian's move at this time, Luo Qian only then realized that even though he now had a Dan Yuan magic artifact, he was still far from Lu Xiaotian's opponent. At least most of his strength was in that lightning spear. Without the lightning spear, he was just a little stronger than an ordinary cultivator. But Lu Xiaotian, even without that blazing fire-separating sword, still had formidable combat power, and there might be other powerful techniques he didn't know about. 。After killing a number of fire bats with the high-level fire bat's delayed speed gone, and consuming some mana, Lu Xiaoteng and his party finally broke through the encirclement. 。Of course, it's possible that Lu Xia Tian escaped in the same direction as the Firebird flock. The Firebat felt that if it continued to chase, it would be too aggressive and might trigger another war with the Firebird flock again. 。The fire bat had finally won, securing its territory. Now, it was unwilling to suffer any further losses. 。Unwillingly, it let out a few cries before ending the pursuit and continuing to destroy the Firecrow eggs, obliterating thousands of Firecrow nests. 。dded decisively and left straight away. 。After Xu Qin left, Lu Xia Tian stayed in the small pavilion, not leaving for a single step. 。Several figures arrived together after several days. 。The first...
