At that moment, there was a large flock of birds circling in midair about a thousand lis away from where Su Ming was charging towards them. These birds were slightly different from the ones Su Ming had run into before. They had three claws, and their heads were slightly bigger. Each of them was about five feet tall.
"Wah … Wah wah!"
Screeches that sounded like babies crying reverberated in the air. This was a sound unique to these birds. There were six Shamans surrounded by these birds, and their faces were stark pale as they fought back madly.
However, the highest level of cultivation among these six was only at the peak of Medial Shaman Stage. It was difficult for them to last for long under the encirclement of these birds. As they cried out to fight back, the six gradually became five, and after a moment, there were only two people left.
One of them was a boy with a pale face and a terrified look on his face. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and was incredibly handsome. The other was a middle-aged woman. She had average looks, but when she attacked, she would protect the boy. They looked like mother and son, but there was no resemblance between their faces.
However, she did not last for long before one of the birds seized the woman's head and dragged her into the flock. As she let out shrill screams of pain, she was reduced to pieces of flesh and blood.
"My beloved concubine!" the boy let out a sorrowful cry. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was filled with grief.
"You're my 39th beloved concubine, and you've left me as well? How am I supposed to continue living like this..?" The boy looked as if his grief had reached its peak. With bloodshot eyes, he roared at the ferocious birds that were pouncing on him.
"Damn you, we're the same kind! How could you not show me any respect?! I … I'm angry!" When the boy saw the birds closing in on him, he gritted his teeth, and with a bang, his body turned into a layer of black fog. This sudden change caused the birds around him to freeze for a moment, and the instant they froze, the black fog immediately gathered together and turned … into a black crane!
That crane roared and flapped its wings to fly a few circles before the birds, as if it was telling them that it also had wings …
"Did you see that? Did you see that? I'm also a bird, we're family … "
The ferocious birds around him froze for a moment due to the boy's sudden change, then continued charging towards him without any hesitation. This made the black crane immediately widen its eyes, and deep grief appeared within them.
"You … you've gone too far!!" With another bang, the black crane turned into mist once again. However, the mist quickly gathered together, and this time, what appeared before the birds was another crane that looked exactly like them, with three claws.
This change stunned the birds. With their low intelligence, they could not tell what was happening before their eyes. However, the hesitation flashing in their savage eyes made the black crane, who had turned into one of them, extremely nervous.
"Wa … Wa wa … Wa wa wa …" In its nervousness, the black crane hurriedly opened its mouth and imitated the cries of this flock of birds as it quickly shouted a few words.
Perhaps it was the effect of those few unique cries, or perhaps it was the sudden appearance of a long arc in the distance that had caught the attention of the birds in the area, but once the black crane let out its cries, the birds in the area immediately turned their heads around and looked at the long arc that was coming from the distance. As they charged forward, piercing cries of babies rose in the air, and the flock of birds charged towards the long arc.
The black crane that had turned into one of them originally wanted to leave, but it was surrounded by the birds and did not dare to leave alone to attract attention. Hence, with gritted teeth, it followed the flock of birds and rushed towards the long arc.
As it flew, it saw that its own kind were letting out piercing cries, and without any hesitation, it started shouting with all its might.
"Wa … Wa wa … Wa wa wa … Wa wa wa wa …" As the black crane shouted, it felt that it was rather smooth. It remembered that it had managed to survive because of the same shout, so it became even more pleased with itself. Vaguely, its voice was extremely loud and clear among the many birds' cries.
Su Ming turned into a long arc in midair and moved swiftly. Occasionally, he would warp to avoid the dangers in the area and the pursuers that he could not shake off. Su Ming had a deep impression of the powerful existences in the Dead Sea and in midair. It had only been a few days, and he had already run into several of them.
If it was not because his divine sense was powerful and he could warp, it would have been difficult for him to avoid them.
Before long, as he continued charging forward, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. He saw a flock of birds he had never seen before, and they were charging towards him while roaring. These birds were clearly larger than the ones Su Ming had seen before, and they were also much faster.
They had also spread out and blocked Su Ming's path. In an instant, they filled the air and closed in on him. Su Ming's expression was aloof. He did not stop for even a single moment as he moved forward and charged towards the flock of birds.
Right when the two of them closed in on each other, green light immediately shone beside Su Ming. Wherever it went, the birds that were blocking his way would be pierced through as they let out shrill screams. Su Ming attacked resolutely and did not stop. By the looks of it, he wanted to charge through this place and kill his way out of the flock of birds.
Su Ming had done this more than once during the past few days. He did not need to kill all of them. As long as he opened up a gap and moved through, he would be able to shake off these birds. Unless he ran into the five-colored peacock from three days ago, then he would be fine.
When he thought of that peacock, fear still lingered in Su Ming's heart. The peacock's strength lay in its five-colored light, and it possessed the power to confuse a person's mind!
As he moved forward, Su Ming lifted his right index finger. Every single time his finger fell, a bird's body would shatter and die. In the span of about ten breaths, Su Ming had already charged into the depths of the flock of non-flying birds. Before long, he would be able to shoot through the flock of birds like an arrow.
At that moment, he saw a three-clawed bird crying out as if it wanted to retreat, but it was blocked by its own kind rushing towards Su Ming, and it was forced to be pushed towards him.
As Su Ming took a step forward, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the terrified and incessantly screeching bird. Yet the instant his finger landed, the bird no longer screeched. Instead, it widened its eyes and let out a piercing screech.
"It's me, it's me … I'm not the same kind as them, I … I'm that crane!" The bird that was the black crane immediately started shouting in fear, as if it was afraid that Su Ming would not believe it. Black fog immediately manifested on its face, and … a crane's head was revealed.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. His right hand immediately froze in midair, but he did not have time to think. Immediately, a five-colored light shone from the direction he was coming from, and the bird that looked like the five-colored peacock that had been chasing after him a few days ago was charging towards him at an incredible speed.
Su Ming's expression changed. He no longer bothered himself with the black crane and turned around to take a step forward, charging straight towards the birds before him. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, Su Ming broke out of the flock's encirclement and charged into the distance at full speed.
As the flock of birds screeched, they chased after him. The five-colored peacock also charged past the flock of birds in a flash and chased after Su Ming. Hatred appeared in its eyes, as if it would not give up until it caught up to Su Ming.
Su Ming was in front, the five-colored peacock was right behind him, and the large flock of birds was right at the back. In the span of a breath, they left into the distance, leaving behind only the black crane that had revealed its head in midair. It blinked, then suddenly started laughing smugly, and excitement appeared on its face.
'Darn it all, if I'm going to change, then I'll turn into that five-colored bird! That's more fitting of my status! I'd like to see just who would dare bully me after I turn into that bird!
'If anyone dares to bully me, then I'll scare them to death!' In the midst of the black crane's smugness, its body turned into black fog with a bang. Once it gradually gathered together, it immediately turned into a five-colored peacock in midair.
It looked at its current appearance with excitement, then lifted its head elegantly and flew slowly into the distance …
'If the five-colored peacock is already so powerful, then wouldn't I be even more intimidating if I turned into the seven-colored peacock?' Before long, the five-colored peacock, which was the black crane, turned its eyes and turned into black fog once again. After a moment, a beautiful seven-colored peacock appeared in the world, and with pride and smugness, it left into the distance.
As for Su Ming, after a few warps, he finally managed to temporarily shake off the five-colored peacock's pursuit. A few days ago, when he first met the peacock, he had fought against it, but not only could the peacock's five-colored light confuse his mind, it also contained a strange power that suppressed Su Ming's power to the point that he could not bring out his full power.
Once the peacock appeared, a large amount of birds would quickly gather around it. Because of that, the battle became even more difficult. Once he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands, even millions, or even more birds, Su Ming could not help but feel his skin crawl.
Once he shook off the peacock, Su Ming brought out the wooden slip. Once he checked his location once again, he sucked in a deep breath and charged forward. Several days later, after taking a few huge detours and avoiding some of the regions that made him feel threatened, he finally arrived at a tumbling sea.
As he stood in midair, Su Ming lowered his head and looked at the surface of the sea with a slightly sentimental look on his face. Based on his deductions on the map, this was where his cave abode was located!
However, he was now in the depths of the sea …
Su Ming could clearly feel the world changing around him at that moment. He remained silent for a moment before he charged towards the surface of the sea. His body disappeared into the seawater as he charged towards the bottom of the sea.
The moment he dived into the sea, Su Ming immediately felt a powerful force pushing him forward from the seawater. It swept up his body and pushed him into the distance, and it was this force pushing him forward that caused the seawater to continue spreading outwards.
Golden light shone on Su Ming's body and he forcefully resisted the force pushing him forward. He spread his divine sense outwards and charged swiftly towards the bottom of the sea. Everything around him was dark. Fortunately, even though he could not spread his divine sense too far, he could still see his surroundings clearly.
The seawater was not too deep either. After a moment, Su Ming avoided some of the ferocious beasts in the sea and gradually saw a mountain range that looked like a dragon's mouth in the depths of the sea … There was also a gigantic crack beyond the mountain range, along with a dull screen of light …
This screen of light was set up by Hong Luo in the past. Fifteen years had passed since then, but it was still around. However, it was clear that it had become incredibly weak, which was why it could no longer hide the mountain. However, it could still be used as a form of defense.
Su Ming charged towards the screen of light, and in the blink of an eye, he closed in on it. Once he lifted his right hand and pressed it, his body fused into the screen of light.
