184 Saving Someone While They’re At It

The strange birds didn’t give up even though their attacks were useless and they couldn’t break the protective shield. Instead, more and more of them appeared in an endless stream. It was impossible to count how many there were.

Those birds blotted out the sky and blocked everyone’s vision. At that moment, the spiritual boat was like a small boat floating in a huge black wave, in danger of being destroyed at any time.

That layer of light green light continued to envelop everyone’s head, making them feel somewhat at ease.

“We can’t continue like this. Even if we don’t die from their attacks, we’ll be scared to death.”

There were too many strange birds in the way, causing the speed of the spiritual boat to slow down significantly. The boat even became stagnant.

“I remember that this road should be quite peaceful. I don’t think this kind of bird-type demonic beast has appeared before. ”

Shen Changling was lost in his memories. He said, “Indeed, it didn’t happen before. So what’s happening now is really strange.”

Looking at the size and numbers of the strange birds, it was obvious that they did not form overnight. However, he did not know where they came from.

“Could the turmoil in Changping be related to these strange birds?”

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, they encountered such an incident. Thus, they couldn’t help but wonder if there was any connection between the two.

Just as everyone was discussing, they heard a scream from not far away.

“It seems like something has happened over there.”

Ye Xuan injected spiritual power into the spiritual boat to drive it forward. Not far away, there was a group of people who had also been attacked by the strange birds. However, they did not have such a top-grade spiritual boat and defense as Ye Xuan and his company.

“The situation over there doesn’t look good.”

The spiritual boat had a protective shield. Although it blocked the attack of the strange birds, Ye Xuan couldn’t attack the outside either. If he wanted to save people, he had to open the shield, which could easily give the surrounding strange birds an opportunity to take advantage of and bring danger to others.

Shen Changling looked at Ye Xuan. He said, “I don’t know where these people came from. You’re the owner of the spiritual boat. Do you think we should save them?”

…

Lin Qing and the others were doing their best to defend themselves. There were dozens of them when they went out, but only a few were left now.

The bodies of his companions were all around him, and some of them had even been scratched by the claws of the birds such that their faces could not be seen clearly. There was not even a complete corpse, and he could not help but feel his eyes turn red.

“What should we do, Senior Brother Lin? There are more and more strange birds. If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll-”

Before he could finish his sentence, everyone’s hearts became heavy.

They were no match for the strange birds, and they were barely hanging on to their last breath. It would probably not be long before this place became their burial ground.

Lin Qing’s face was sorrowful. He shouted, “Let’s go all out! These strange birds have killed so many of our people. Even if we die, we have to take one with us!”

It was a pity that their attacks were unable to cause any damage to the strange birds. The strength of both sides was clear. If there were only a few birds, it would be fine. However, these birds covered the sky and the earth. The difference in numbers was just too great. There was no way they could kill all of them.

On the contrary, there were many more wounds on his body. Fresh blood spattered on the ground, and the eyes of the strange birds turned even redder. It was as if they had smelled the fishy blood smell, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

Seeing a pair of sharp bird claws sweep over his head, carrying the cold light of the god of death, Lin Qing subconsciously closed his eyes, as if he could already see the scene of his own skull being flipped over.

However, after a long while, the pain that he had imagined did not come. Instead, he heard the miserable cries of the strange birds.

He opened his eyes in disbelief, and what he saw was a huge spiritual boat, and at the same time, there was an extremely young man. It was Ye Xuan and the others.

An opening suddenly appeared on the spiritual boat, and the green light gradually faded. When the surrounding strange birds saw this, they immediately sharpened their heads and tried to squeeze in. Fortunately, everyone was prepared.

Tens of thousands of sword Qi burst out and interweaved into a large net, blocking the fierce attacks of the strange birds and also buying time for Ye Xuan and the others to clear a relatively safe path.

Under the cover of the Sword Sect disciples, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling attacked one bird after another. They called out, “What are you waiting for?”

Looking at Ye Xuan, who descended like a god, Lin Qing was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He grabbed his hand and jumped onto the spiritual boat.

They moved quickly, and with the sharp sword Qi opening the way, there were always some strange birds that were not afraid of death. They were not afraid of the obstruction of the sword Qi and followed the small opening into the spiritual boat.

The strange birds’ heads managed to squeeze in, but their bodies were still outside. Some of them had their bodies squeezed in, but their heads were still outside. They fought with each other and were stuck there for a while.

Even so, its lethality was not to be underestimated. The Sword Sect disciple closest to the edge was caught off guard, and a few bloody scratch marks appeared on his arm. they were so deep that his bones could be seen.

Shen Changling’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he suddenly attacked.

A cold light shot out in all directions, and the heads of the birds rolled down. Their red eyes glared at the sky, and some of them even had broken limbs.

The blood splattered on the other strange birds. The army of strange birds seemed to have gone crazy. they were about to rush over, but Ye Xuan was quick to react and close the passage. The faint green light outside the spiritual boat once again enveloped them, blocking them outside.

It was then that everyone felt at ease. Lin Qing and the others sat on the ground, gasping for breath. They couldn’t believe that they had just escaped death.

Seeing that they were seriously injured, Shen Changling quickly took out a spiritual herb. He said, “This is a blood-replenishing pill. It’s very effective in healing injuries, especially when you’ve lost too much blood.”

Lin Qing and the others were very grateful, and they quickly cupped their hands and saluted, “Many thanks for your help, fellow Daoist. I am unable to repay your great kindness.”
