Pa!
A transparent air ring exploded behind the tail feathers. The giant blue eagle with a wingspan of twelve meters turned into a blue electric light as it flapped its wings, speeding through the sky like a bolt of lightning.
The pleasure of flying freely and extreme speed made Elvin, who had transformed into an eagle, unable to help but let out a long cry.
Screech —!
Flying freely in the sky was the tireless pursuit of humans since ancient times. Even for a powerful Extraordinaire like Elvin, it was not an exception.
At this moment, the sharp eagle beak split the atmosphere, and the turbulence of the air flowed smoothly from the sparkling blue feathers to the back.
The electric light flashed.
A moment ago, it was still flying above the green dome of the forest. The next moment, it had broken through the sea of clouds high in the sky and bathed in the first ray of sunlight before all the creatures on the ground.
Forests, mountains, rivers, lakes … Even the white clouds were all under his feet.
This was a qualitative change in mobility brought by the wings. It was unrestrained as if there was nothing in the world that could restrict him!
In fact, the [Polymorph] and even the directional [Bird Polymorph] were not a problem for the official wizards of the "Activation School".
However.
In the past, Elvin had no interest in spending a long time, energy, and even luck to hold a complicated ceremony to obtain an additional animal form.
Especially when it involved not only the change of life form, but also a certain degree of danger.
Moreover, at the stage of a rank 2 official wizard, it was almost impossible to use the low-level [Polymorph] to complete the transformation of an extraordinary creature. The increase in combat power was very limited.
In comparison, the advantages of the "Activated Beast Skin" were very obvious. It was powerful, convenient, and safe.
Originally, Elvin's idea was the same as the crew of the "Storm Horn", to choose a kind of demon creature level shark to make the "Activated Beast Skin". He had even chosen the species that he liked the most, which was the source of his Knight's extraordinary characteristics — the Blue Flag Shark.
However, when Elvin saw this thunderbird, that idea immediately disappeared.
Even the great albatross in Elvin's hands that had been modified several times only had a wingspan of seven meters. Furthermore, because there were too few of them, they hadn't undergone any Demonization Modifications. They couldn't keep up with his progress in strength and were basically in a free-range state.
The Blue Eagle, which had a wingspan of twelve meters when it reached adulthood, was currently one of the overlords of the skies on this continent.
In particular, the Lightning attribute was perfectly compatible with his [Branded Swordsman]. With his Grade 3 Transcendence attribute and the [Activated Beast Skin – Thunderbird Robe], his battle prowess was almost comparable to an adult Blue Eagle.
It had become Elvin's most powerful piece of transcendent equipment.
At the same time, the activated beast skin at the level of a magical creature could change its form. It was no longer limited to the appearance of an animal's skin like ordinary shark skin. It could be in the form of clothes, belts, accessories, and so on. It looked very good.
Just like how the [Thunderbird Mage Robe] had been solidified into a captain's cloak. It was powerful, but at the same time, it made its owner look even more mighty and handsome.
"It feels great to be able to fly freely. What do you think?"
After flying recklessly for a while, he remembered that there were three companions behind him. He turned his head to look back.
"Ugh …"
What he saw was the three people on his back. The three pairs of resentful eyes and … Due to the unavoidable static electricity, they had all turned into radial afro hair.
What was worse was that the afro hair had been swept to the back of their heads by the strong wind, revealing three shiny heads …
This was a huge grudge.
Elvin accelerated all the way without caring about the direction. He only wanted to leave the Quinnar Clan's sphere of influence as soon as possible, but he didn't care about the passengers' flying experience at all.
This was because Apsuya's "Wendat Clan" didn't have a good relationship with the Thunderbird Clan. They treated them worse than the invaders, the Nimanstans.
Of course, the Quinnar Clan was the same, not to mention that one of their clan's symbols had been killed.
However, the huge remains of the Thunderbird had been kept in Kaka's shadow storage and all traces of it had been cleaned. At least for the time being, he didn't have to worry about being hunted down by them.
Seeing the three people staring at him without saying a word, Elvin turned his head guiltily.
"I … Got it."
At the same time, a streamlined light barrier had quietly formed and enveloped the passengers behind him. In an instant, they had completed the upgrade.
.....
Whoosh — —
Heading north from the Thunderbird Clan, in a straight line of nearly eight hundred kilometers in the forest, a curtain formed by shadows was suddenly lifted.
First, there was a faint blue light that looked like a will-o '-the-wisp. Then, two "humans" and a "wolf", three figures in a sorry state, fell out from the crack of the shadow realm.
Gulp … Gulp …
The two of them immediately took out a bottle of medicine that emitted a white light and drank it without hesitation.
The next moment, the severe traces of shadow erosion on their bodies quickly disappeared.
It was obvious that the technology they obtained from the "Shadow School" was much stronger than Elvin's. Their shadow jumping ability was at least one or two generations ahead of Elvin.
"This should be enough to buy us enough time. The straight-line distance from Ms. Crow's territory is less than 150 kilometers. Even if we rush there slowly, they won't be able to catch up."
The "zombie" put away the [Witchcraft Tool – Shadow Realm Lamp] that could be used to guide the way in the crack of the shadow realm. Then, he could not help but sigh with the anger in his heart.
"Sigh!"
This time, they used a witchcraft tool to use a power similar to "Shadow Jump" but far above it. In less than ten minutes, they had already jumped nearly eight hundred kilometers in a straight line to the north.
In fact, if they were not in a hurry to escape, they would not have been able to jump for such a long time in one breath. The longer the distance they jumped through the crack of the shadow realm, the greater the price they had to pay. Even the chances of being ambushed by the shadow realm creatures would be higher.
This was because as spellcasters with sharp senses, they had clearly noticed the [Hunt Mark] on their bodies during the process of retreat, as well as a faint strong sense of danger coming from afar.
They knew that with the two of them injured, they would be caught sooner or later even with the treasures from the Shadow School of Thought. They were already prepared to lure the powerful pursuer, who they had inexplicably encountered, to Madam Crow's territory to surround and kill him!
"Although I don't know who is chasing us, as long as we can enter Ms. Crow's territory, we don't need this peak totem god to act.
As long as we can obtain the help of the shamans under her command, we will be able to survive this crisis. "
To the north of this location, there were six huge lakes connected together. In that area, there was a vast expanse of water and vast swamps and wetlands like the sea.
This was the territory of a powerful totem god who was only below demigods and had already broken free from the restrictions of faith and territory – "Ms. Crow".
Apart from the totem god and her tribe of crows, only her shamans were allowed to move around here. All other outsiders were seen as intruders, regardless of whether they were Nimanstans or Atreans.
Therefore, in reality, there were no ordinary Atreans living here.
In other words, the belief of this great being was no longer limited to a certain tribe or region. Just like the famous "Death God" Wu Hao, it had become a widespread belief and even cultural DNA.
This extraordinary status was also the prerequisite for competing for the position of demigod.
In the New World, the relationship between gods and humans was complicated.
When the low-level ones were like wandering souls, their biggest dream was to be accepted by their tribe or clan. When the mid-level ones were like "Shark of the Sea" Ovig, they depended on each other for survival. After that, as the power of the totem god increased, the strong and weak positions gradually began to reverse.
In many Atrean tribes, the "God Slaying" ritual continued. During the sacrificial ceremony of the new god, some outdated or conquered tribes' gods would be marked on the food and killed and eaten.
If the Arawak tribe under Elvin ultimately chose to abandon the "Killer Whale" totem god and completely submit to the "Tree of Life", then they would also hold such a "God Slaying Feast".
Because of the weaker survival ability of the nomadic tribes compared to the farming tribes, this group of people were all pragmatists through and through.
They believed that the god that they ultimately chose was the most important, the noblest and the most authoritative of all the gods. In the worldview of the Atreans, the god's ruling power over the secular world was not unchanging. Furthermore, the god's role would also change from time to time. They would die, retire and change in power.
They even deeply understood that the gods were not omniscient and omnipotent. They also had their own authority and shortcomings. Other than retaining the worship of their ancestors and their tribe's totem god, the Atreans would also have a wider range of belief objects.
This situation was very different from the current single belief in the Old Continent.
On the other hand, when the necessary benefits were lost, the powerful gods might also abandon their original people and completely break away from the shackles of belief in order to obtain a higher level of advancement.
However, all of this happened over a very long period of time. Many natives might not even experience it once in their lives.
Thud … thud … thud …
When the "Zombie" and "Venomous Wolf" were heading towards the uninhabited area belonging to Lady Crow.
They did not know that the moment the two of them left the Shadow Realm, they had already entered the sight of White Seagull, who was high up in the sky like a reconnaissance satellite.
Whoosh!
When White Seagull and Apsuya received the news, Elvin had already changed his direction and charged towards the Six Great Lakes.
Flying at full speed, he was like a blue rainbow that appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
The fastest speed in the mortal world was only 350 km/h. However, Elvin's blue eagle form could easily maintain a speed of 900 km/h, which was 0.75 Mach, which was just below the speed of sound.
Ignoring the restrictions of the terrain, flying through the mountains and forests, it would take less than … an hour to catch up to them!
