Huo Yu brought Cheng Yu along as they flew along the swamp at a low altitude. Oftentimes, piranhas and iron swamp vines would launch sneak attacks on them. Fortunately, Huo Yu and Cheng Yu had the phoenix flame as their trump card. Although they were in a sorry state, they were still able to move forward smoothly without any worries.
Walking on the boundless swamp, Cheng Yu had no idea how big the swamp was. In any case, he didn't see any other humans. As they moved forward, a forest suddenly appeared in front of them.
However, with a glance, the forest was very gloomy. Just when Cheng Yu was hesitating whether to enter the forest or not, a flock of crows flew out from the forest.
These crows seemed to have already discovered Cheng Yu's existence. They didn't give Cheng Yu any chance to retreat as they charged towards him.
"Devouring Black Crows?" Cheng Yu saw the appearance of these crows and immediately recognized their true identity. Devouring Black Crows were also demonic beasts. However, they had an extremely strong devouring ability, especially towards energy.
"Boom!" Cheng Yu knew the characteristics of these Devouring Black Crows. When he saw the Black Crows flying in front of him, he infused his spiritual Qi into his sword. When he slashed out, the sword Qi didn't scatter everywhere.
However, the effect of this slash was very obvious. When these Black Crows touched Cheng Yu's sword, they were immediately split into two. This was Cheng Yu's shrewdness. If Cheng Yu didn't do this just now and had directly sent his spiritual Qi out, the sword Qi would definitely be devoured by these Black Crows.
"Chi! Chi! " Cheng Yu slashed out again and again, instantly killing dozens of Black Crows. However, there were at least thousands of Black Crows here. This was simply a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
Huo Yu's sturdy wings flapped, immediately wanting to kill a few Black Crows. However, with so many Black Crows, it was impossible for her to kill all of them. She, who was badly battered, opened her mouth. The phoenix flame turned into a sea of fire.
"Huo Yu, don't use energy to attack them!" When Cheng Yu saw the situation, he shouted to Huo Yu anxiously.
As expected, when Cheng Yu's words had just ended, not only were these Black Crows not burned to death by Huo Yu's phoenix flame, they started to devour the phoenix flame instead.
"Pu! Pu! Watching as the phoenix flames were all devoured by them, they actually opened their mouths, spurting it towards Cheng Yu and Huo Yu.
Cheng Yu and Huo Yu quickly dodged, but they were still hit by some of the phoenix flames. Fortunately, these phoenix flames came from their hands, so their immunity to the phoenix flames was relatively high. At the very least, they wouldn't be like others, who would be seriously injured or even burned to death by the phoenix flames.
However, after a few rounds, both of them were charred black. This time, however, Huo Yu didn't dare to casually spit fire anymore. Not only were the flames unable to burn the Black Crows, but they were also depleting her own energy.
A man and a beast fought back to back, not giving these Black Crows any chance to take advantage of them. This was much better than being separated and surrounded one by one.
"This is really a damned place!" When Cheng Yu killed the Black Crow, he was furious and helpless. No wonder no one had found this Mirror Immortal Ruin for thousands of years.
This place was really full of hidden dangers. If one wasn't careful, they might be consigned to eternal damnation. If one didn't have a bit of strength and vision, it would be difficult to move an inch. Unless they were like Qi Fei Huang, who gathered hundreds of Spirit Severing late stage experts to barge in together.
But even so, it wasn't hard to imagine how these people would end up. Only two or three of them managed to survive, and that was a miserable enough outcome.
Although these Black Crows were mysterious, they couldn't hide it from Cheng Yu who had lived for thousands of years. With his eyesight, even if he hadn't seen them before, he would have heard of them.
Otherwise, he would definitely erupt with his full strength and be exhausted to death by these crows. However, although Cheng Yu knew the method to deal with these Black Crows, the number of Black Crows in front of them was really quite a lot. With their strength, whether they could kill them all was another matter.
Besides, these Black Crows didn't just devour energy. When they got close to the surface, Cheng Yu's defensive barrier would also be devoured. In the end, they would be devoured along with them.
Therefore, Cheng Yu and Huo Yu stayed close to each other. They tried their best not to let them get close to their bodies. However, attaching spiritual Qi to the sword was also very tiring. Moreover, the consumption of spiritual Qi was also not small.
Whoosh! Cheng Yu suddenly released the people in the Mountain and River Diagram.
Don't release your spiritual Qi. Attach it to your weapon. Attack directly! Before everyone could understand, Cheng Yu started to remind everyone.
He didn't want these people to feed these Black Crows a big meal the moment they came out. In the end, the unlucky ones would be themselves.
"Junior Brother Yu, what's this?" Actually, when Xin He and the others were inside the Mountain River Diagram, they had already seen the situation outside. Because the Mountain River Diagram was open to them, Cheng Yu reminded them that they were not allowed to come out. Therefore, they didn't move.
However, although they saw the scene just now, they were unable to hear what Cheng Yu and the others were saying outside. Therefore, they didn't know how to deal with these Black Crows.
These are Black Crows. They are able to devour all kinds of energy. Furthermore, they can use it for their own strength. Therefore, we can't release our spiritual Qi. We have to attach it to our weapons. Only then will we be able to kill them! Cheng Yu explained.
Devouring energy for their own use? There's such a powerful demonic beast in this world? When the others heard Cheng Yu's explanation, they said in astonishment.
The world is so big. How can we understand everything? Now is not the time to talk about this. Quickly kill them. If they still have companions, it will be troublesome! Cheng Yu said.
Demonic beasts that lived in groups were very terrifying. Sometimes, they were even more terrifying than a top-notch demonic beast. Because when facing a top-notch demonic beast, even if they couldn't defeat it, they could still think of a way to escape. However, when surrounded by these demonic beasts, they didn't even have the chance to escape.
Regarding this point, they had already deeply experienced it in the scorpion cave. If these fellows really had companions, then they might not be able to kill them all even if they killed until their hands and feet went soft.
With so many people and the correct way to kill the enemies, the killing power of these Black Crows was still very high. Thousands of Black Crows were decreasing at an extremely fast speed.
Just when everyone was killing intensely, the remaining thousands of Black Crows suddenly retreated. It was unknown if it was because they were afraid or because of some other reason.
"These fellows are truly cunning. If they can defeat us, they will act like they have gone crazy. If they can't defeat us, they will run away. Do they really think that we are so easy to bully? Should we chase after them and kill them all? "Xin Luo saw these fellows running away, so she said unhappily.
"Don't bother about them. If another group were to come, we might not even be able to deal with them. It's better for us to leave this place quickly! "Cheng Yu shook his head, frowning as he looked at the direction the Black Crows had left.
"Junior Brother Yu, you are too careful. These Black Crows can't even withstand a single blow. How could they be as powerful as you said!" Xin Luo spoke. He felt that Cheng Yu was too careful. These Black Crows were basically nothing special.
He had just obtained a good sword from Cheng Yu. Just now, he had shown off quite a bit in front of these Black Crows. A soul tool was indeed different. When it came to killing enemies, it was much easier. He had no idea how Cheng Yu would feel when he held that supreme-grade soul tool in his hand. During a battle, it would definitely be like a fish back in water. In the future, he should also work hard to get one.
Perhaps it was because he had obtained a new soul tool, Xin Luo also wanted to fight. The battle just now was obviously not satisfying enough.
"There are some things that you better not try. Otherwise, by the time you realize it, it might already be too late!" Cheng Yu didn't have the mood to explain to them how troublesome the Black Crows were.
To be able to reach this level, which one of them was not that simple? At least, these demonic beasts had their own intelligence. Now that their comrade had been killed, as long as they had the slightest bit of unwillingness or vengeance, they would definitely come back for revenge.
Naturally, Cheng Yu didn't wish to foolishly wait for them to come back for revenge. Even if he knew how to deal with these Black Crows, his heart wasn't that big. He wasn't stupid.
"What Junior Brother Yu said is right. The demonic beasts that are able to survive in this place are definitely not that good to be trifled with. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stopped the humans from entering the Mirror Immortal Realm for thousands of years! "Xin Yun agreed with Cheng Yu's words. Or it could be said that she was starting to believe Cheng Yu's words more and more.
She had never heard of these Devouring Black Crows before. However, not only was Cheng Yu able to recognize these Black Crows with a glance, he was also able to tell their origins and characteristics. He even knew how to deal with them. This made her curious and admire him.
Where did Cheng Yu get all this knowledge from? Although she hadn't read all the strange literature magazines in the world, she had almost read all the books in Limitless Palace.
However, along the way, she realized how shallow she was in front of Cheng Yu. Where did Cheng Yu get to know all these things that weren't even recorded in Limitless Palace?
Who was the big shot that gave him the inheritance? Could it be that all these were the inheritance that he had left behind for Cheng Yu? Wasn't Cheng Yu too lucky? It truly caused her to be curious and envious!
"Don't return to the Mountain River Diagram first. In the future, follow me! Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't easily enter the Mountain River Diagram. This is detrimental to your cultivation. After entering that forest, you must be careful. The Yin Qi inside is quite dense. I believe it won't let us pass so easily! "Cheng Yu said to everyone.
