Fortunately, the three of them didn't have to be on edge for too long. A sharp whistle came from the sky and three black shadows rapidly approached. The three disciples of the Archaic Alliance didn't even have time to react before they were snatched away. The strongest among them was at the peak of mid-Foundation Establishment, but from start to finish, they didn't have the slightest ability to resist. They became prey through and through.
"What the hell is that?" Chentian and the others jumped in shock.
It was only now that they got a clear look at the three shadows- they were all slender birds, and while they weren't as big as the golden-eyed eagles Lin Yi had seen before, they weren't small either, standing at least three meters tall.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if that was all, but the faces of these three birds were actually three human faces, male and female. They seemed to be able to communicate with each other, but the more it was like that, the more panicked they got. Lingshan and the other girls paled in fright, quickly hiding behind Lin Yi. Even Coold, a foundation perfection like her, was no exception.
This kind of fear had nothing to do with strength or weakness. The key was that the other party's bird-bodied appearance was far too bizarre. Especially to humans, it was probably more horrifying and terrifying than any hideous thing!
Even Lin Yi couldn't help but take in a cold breath. "Goumang?!"
A bird's body and a human's face? This was something that only existed in ancient mythologies, and he didn't expect to see one in the Archaic Trials that only happened once every thousand years! This was unbelievable!
"This image seems to be Goumang. Could those ancient myths and legends be real?" Chentian and the others were tongue-tied. They were all practitioners, and it was because of this that they knew that myths and legends were completely different from reality. But now, even Goumang had appeared! Was that still a myth?
"Who knows …" Lin Yi was speechless. These three Goumang's appearance had a huge impact on everyone, and it was as if their worldview had been flipped upside down!
In that short moment of silence, the three Goumangs had already devoured the corpses in their hands, but they still looked like they hadn't had enough. Their greedy eyes quickly landed on Lin Yi and the others, making their scalps go numb.
"Haha, looks like they're not full yet." Lin Yi laughed coldly. He was someone who'd been through a lot, after all, and Goumang's horrifying appearance only made him feel a little apprehensive. Once he calmed down, Goumang was no different from a normal spirit beast to him. He'd kill him when he needed to.
Plus, these three Goumangs weren't that strong. They were much stronger than the fire bats at the beginning, but they were at the level of a foundation establishment practitioner at most. They couldn't compare to the spirit beasts Lin Yi had seen on Sky class island at all.
That may be the case, but judging from how effortlessly they killed a foundation establishment peak mid phase practitioner, each of these Goumang weren't weaker than a foundation establishment practitioner at all. They were a lethal threat to Lingshan and the others.
The three Goumangs tilted their heads and talked to each other. Everyone was confused, and Chentian couldn't help but ask, "What language are they talking about?"
"Of course, they're discussing who to eat first. Fatty Lai, you have more meat, so you'll be the first to get eaten." Ziyu plucked up the courage to tease him. She was scared quite a bit, but she'd always been brave. Other than looking a little scary, the three Goumangs weren't that scary. After all, Lin Yi was here.
"That's not necessarily true. I have more meat, but fat doesn't taste good. You girls, on the other hand, have soft skin and tender flesh. You should be more worried." Fatty Lai said with a smile.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard that. He'd been worried that the three Goumang would scare the hell out of them, and it'd be troublesome if something went wrong. But it seemed like he'd been worrying for nothing. Everyone's mental fortitude was much better than he'd expected.
The three Goumang chattered for a long time before finally coming to an agreement. Suddenly, they charged into the sky as the group formed a defensive formation as though they were facing a formidable foe. However, the outcome was out of everyone's expectations. They just left without any intention of touching them.
The group couldn't help but look at each other, relieved. It was hard to say what would happen if they really fought the three Goumangs.
Only Lin Yi didn't let his guard down at all- he was still using his divine sense to scan the surroundings. After a while, his lips curled up. "Playing this kind of game with us, going away and coming back. They're really smart."
"Going away and coming back? They're back? " Everyone was alarmed when they heard that. Although they weren't as horrified as they were in the beginning, the three Goumang's oppressive and ferocious auras were real. It would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous. To them, these three were definitely ferocious creatures.
"They're not back. They never left. That was just a trick to confuse us." Lin Yi explained. His divine sense covered a wide range, and it would be strange if he couldn't even lock onto Goumang, who was only at the perfected level of Foundation Establishment.
"So cunning!" Everyone hurriedly maintained their defensive formation, guarding against the three Goumangs as though they were facing a formidable foe. Even a peak mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert had become their food, much less their meager strength. If they did not form a defensive formation, they probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
After a while, two black shadows shot out from the forest, pincer attacking the group from the left and right. It was the two Goumangs they'd seen just now.
"Leng Leng!" Lin Yi shouted as he faced the Goumang on his left. At the same time, Leng Leng faced the Goumang on his right in tacit understanding.
Two fists couldn't fight four hands, and Lin Yi's strength was only at Foundation Establishment Perfection, after all. He could handle one, but two at the same time was a different story. He needed Leng Leng to take the brunt of the attack. Otherwise, if Lingshan and the others were to face Goumang's ambush head-on, the consequences would be dire even with the formation.
