Chapter 488 Encounter with a Flock of Strange Birds, Creatures in the Storm
Chapter 488 Encounter with a Flock of Strange Birds, Creatures in the Storm
Looking around, apart from the lightning storm, all other directions were filled with these strange birds with emerald green bodies and blue wings, and their numbers were astonishing, numbering at least 8,000 to 10,000. This level of demonic horde was even more terrifying than the last time we encountered them by plane.
"Damn it, can't anyone tell me what's going on?" Mo Fan cursed angrily.
Zhao Manyan then explained to him, "About a month and a half ago, not long after we arrived in Peru, we accidentally wandered into a restricted area that the locals called a no-go zone. We were then chased by these strange birds. At first, there were only a few dozen of them, and we easily wiped them out."
"Who knew that they would grow to several hundred? After we shook off their pursuit, we returned to the city. But then those strange birds chased us all the way to Peru City and triggered an orange alert. Of course, the flock of strange birds was eventually wiped out by the city's guardian mages."
"And then, oh, that's what we encountered this time."
Mo Fan's face darkened after hearing Zhao Manyan's explanation. Did he really have to be so unlucky?
They encountered nearly ten thousand strange birds upon arrival, and given their distance from the city, relying on the city's guardian mages to hold them off was simply impossible. To try and defeat that swarm of strange birds with their small numbers was utterly a pipe dream!
"What should we do now? You guys better think of a solution quickly!"
"There's not even any cover here. If they try to fight it out head-on, they're just asking for trouble," Zujiming said.
Mu Yingting and Nan Rongni were already pale with fright, while Jiang Shaoxu, that sly fox, was constantly searching for something, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find that familiar figure.
"What should we do?!" Nan Yu didn't pay attention this time either, and said to Ai Jiangtu with a flustered expression.
Ai Jiangtu, whose expression was equally grim, remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "If I gave you a choice, would you fight the flock of strange birds, or venture into the lightning storm to fight for a chance of survival?"
"Captain, are you out of your mind? What's the difference between going into the Lightning Storm and courting death?" Li Kaifeng shouted.
"By the way, where did Jiang Han go? Why don't we ask him and see if he has any good ideas?" Jiang Shaoxu suggested.
"Yes, where did Jiang Han go?" Mo Fan asked immediately afterward.
"He told me before he left that he was going to explore on his own, but I don't know exactly where he went," Ai Jiangtu said.
It was only at this moment that Li Kaifeng, Zu Jiming, and the others noticed that Jiang Han was missing. Now they were even more uneasy. If Jiang Han, their main fighting force, were still there, they might have been able to fight the flock of strange birds. But now, their only option was to run away.
Just as everyone was about to walk into the lightning storm, two loud dragon roars suddenly came from the storm, and then the lightning storm, which was comparable to super-level magic, began to show signs of dissipating.
A few minutes later, the lightning storm completely dissipated, and then the grass clippings and gravel carried by the storm began to fall to the ground.
"Dragon's roar? Could it be... that there are demons within this lightning storm?" Zhao Manyan said, his voice trembling.
"Say less. If there really are demons in here, then we're really doomed." Mo Fan looked at the gray sky in the distance with a somewhat grim expression.
"Get ready for battle!!" Ai Jiangtu said, and spatial power surged around him.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~"
A hurricane swept the dust towards the flock of strange birds, and at that moment the Nationalist team members saw clearly the creatures hidden in the lightning storm: two skeletal creatures over a hundred feet long, their bones more lustrous than jade.
"This aura has surpassed that of the Grand Commander, could they be... monarch-level beings?!" Jiang Yu stammered as he looked at the overwhelming murderous aura released by the two skeletal creatures.
"If they really are monarch-level beings, we can all just lie here and wait to die. Besides, I feel like I'm somewhat familiar with them." Mo Fan looked at the two skeletal creatures and the more he looked, the more familiar they seemed. Moreover, this was Peru in North America, unlike China or Egypt, which possessed the Land of Absolute Fiends, a place that could nurture undead creatures.
"Damn!" Suddenly, Mo Fan seemed to have thought of something and shouted out loud, startling everyone else.
"What exactly did you discover? Don't be so alarmed," Zhao Manyan said.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Didn't you guys notice that these two undead creatures look a bit like the ones Jiang Han summoned before?" Mo Fan said.
"You mean they were summoned by Jiang Han?" Ai Jiangtu naturally understood Mo Fan's meaning, but this guess was a bit too frightening. If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Jiang Han possessed a monarch-level summoned beast?
Hiss! The speculation was terrifying; they dared not even think about it further.
If this were true, they could already be celebrating their victory with champagne. There's no way around it; in previous years, the strongest player in the World University Games was only the American genius Beckers from decades ago, who reached a high-level peak in the finals.
"No need to guess, it's Jiang Han. Look at the top of that undead creature's head!" Jiang Shaoxu pointed to the blurry figure on the top of the skeletal dragon's head, which was none other than Jiang Han, who had taken the two source crystals from the storm restriction.
