The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow immediately flew away when it realized that its ambush had failed, as if it was preparing its next attack.
"Luckily, you're here …" Qing Shu let out a relieved sigh. She looked at her husband, Dong Jia Li, with a sweet smile. Qing Shu felt a strong sense of security when she was with him. He would allow a careless Hunter like her to make a lot of mistakes, but at least she would not die in the wilderness like the others.
"Hehe … ugh!" A simple and honest smile appeared on Dong Jia's face. But in the next second, his smile froze and he let out a depressed groan.
Dong Jia slowly lowered his head and was shocked to find a long peck that resembled a life-reaping diamond protruding from his chest. Blood gushed into his throat, and his chest was also bleeding wantonly. The pain slowly overwhelmed him, completely replacing the warmth and pity he had for his wife.
"AHHHHH!" Qing Shu screamed. Before she could react, she saw her husband being picked up by the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow behind him …
The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow flapped its wings heavily. Its strength was shocking. It carried Dong Jia Li into the air with its beak. It waited until Dong Jia Li's life ran out before flinging him to the ground.
Qing Shu watched her husband fall to the ground and fall to the ground. She completely lost her mind. She chased after the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow that had appeared out of nowhere …
However, cries of agony were heard when she landed on the roots. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were attacking the Mages that were cleaning up the area. Countless corpses with holes in their chests were tossed to the ground. The number of casualties was shocking, since no one had set up their defenses against the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows!
Qing Shu could no longer recognize the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow that had killed her husband. She stood there in disbelief as she watched the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow massacring the humans. She did not expect the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrow, whom she had treated as a lucky creature not long ago, to suddenly turn into a butcher. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were no weaker than the Hillmen. The soldiers and Hunters who had let down their guard suffered great losses. Blood dyed the area under the Sky Trees once again. Cries of agony kept echoing in the air!
…
Under the tree trunk, a few higher-ups were discussing plans for the future of the entire outer Mount Kunyu. Suddenly, a scream came from not far away, causing them to frown.
"What's going on?" Commander Sun's eyes widened as he asked coldly.
"We are being ambushed," a messenger replied.
"Is it those mongrel demon sparrows? How bold of them, we won't go easy on them!" Tong Shang let out a hollow laugh.
They were planning to let the demon sparrows live for a while longer. If they were willing to migrate, they could even spare their lives. To their surprise, the demon sparrows took the initiative to attack the Magicians. They had no choice but to eliminate them!
"No, it … it's the Rainbow-Tailed Demon sparrows! The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows is attacking us! "the messenger, the messenger...
Nie Lengshan, Commander Sun, Tong Shang, and Wang Dakuo were startled. They quickly ran to a place with a wider view. When they reached the roots, they immediately saw the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows that had just finished hunting down the Hillmen suddenly lunging at the soldiers and Hunters!
Everyone was busy cleaning up the battlefield and collecting their loot. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows had always been their allies, and they had never seen them attacking anyone. Therefore, everyone assumed the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were friendly to humans. They did not pay too much attention to them even when they were flying close to them. To their surprise, these Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were the real killers. Many people had died to their claws and beaks!
Fresh blood was smeared all over the ground. The blood from before had yet to dry. The area under the Giant Purple Linden was dyed red once again …
"What's going on? Why are the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows attacking us!?"
"Damn it, what are you all waiting for? Fight back!"
"The second team is dead!"
"General, the seventh team is dead!"
"Those demon sparrows are on the move, too! There are too many of them!"
The demon sparrows and skylarks continued to clash with one another in the sky. They were good at diving down from the sky. The Servant-class demon sparrows were no match for the elite Mages, but the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were no weaker than the Hillmen. The Mages suffered great losses when the demon sparrows came within range of the humans.
Not long ago, the humans and the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows had wiped out the savage Hillmen. To their surprise, the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were massacring the humans instead!
"How is this possible, how is this possible? Did they know we were trying to drive them out of the Giant Purple Linden?"
"Impossible, there's no way they can understand our language!" Tong Shang's face was ashen.
"We have to retreat, we have to!" Nie Lengshan said.
If the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were on guard, they might not have been able to kill so many Mages. However, it was already too late for them to react. Hundreds and thousands of Mages had died to the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows.
"But …"
"It doesn't matter what the reason is, we have to retreat. Those Servant-class demon sparrows are circling the perimeter. Not only are they interfering with our spells, they are also trapping us under the tree. We have to fight our way out before they set up a cage. Otherwise, none of us are going to leave here alive!" Nie Lengshan said.
Nie Lengshan had the final say in the battle. No matter how unwilling Tong Shang was, he had no choice but to agree with Nie Lengshan's decision.
"Those goddamned Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows, once we return to the city, we'll bring a bigger army to eliminate them!" Tong Shang grunted furiously.
"Everyone, listen to my orders, we're fighting our way out to the east!" Nie Lengshan's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
The soldiers and Hunters were slightly more organized under the command of a Sound Mage. They gathered together under the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows and struggled to hold their ground.
Meanwhile, the Mages who did not rejoin the group in time were still struggling to fend off the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows. Many of them could not stop tears from rolling down their cheeks when they saw their comrades falling to the ground. It was supposed to be a great victory, but why did things turn out like this all of a sudden?
…
Under Nie Lengshan's command, the soldiers and Hunters managed to regroup after suffering great losses. They counterattacked with their spells and killed many of the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows. Unfortunately, the tables had turned. They had no choice but to run for their lives!
"Soul-Twisting Melody: Burial Break!"
Nie Lengshan murmured rapidly. Every note he uttered was like a huge drum of death. The sound penetrated the souls of the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows and shattered their souls, preventing them from resting in peace!
Nie Lengshan rarely used the Soul-Twisting Melody, as he was infuriated when he saw the people around him dying one after another. He was even willing to damage his own soul to play the deadly melody on the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows!
The Soul-Twisting Melody drowned out all the noise. It circled in the air like countless messengers of death, covering a huge area. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows that rammed into the Soul-Twisting Melody swayed unsteadily as if they were drunk. A moment later, they began to bleed from their eyes, mouths, and ears, as if their souls had been sucked away by a demon. They fell straight to the ground, disfigured beyond recognition …
Corpses of the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows rained down like rain. The huge area of effect of the Song of Slaughter immediately alleviated the threat to everyone's lives. The soldiers and Hunters did not expect Nie Lengshan to be so strong. The Soul-Twisting Melody was as strong as a Super Mage's destructive spell!
"Well done, Nie Lengshan!" Lieutenant Sun and Tong Shang yelled.
The Soul-Twisting Melody had killed a lot of the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows. It was a great relief to them. It also taught the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows that human Mages were not to be trifled with. They were not going to let them slaughter them!
Nie Lengshan couldn't help but take a deep breath after he finished the entire Soul-Breaking Song …
The Soul-Twisting Melody was very effective, but it was not enough to save them from the danger they were in. He clenched his teeth and started chanting again. He was going to cast the Soul-Twisting Melody again!
"Lengshan, don't …" a female soldier quickly stopped him when she saw how desperate he was.
"We don't have a choice. We can't let everyone die here." Nie Lengshan did not listen to her. He continued to play the Soul-Twisting Melody, but this time, his soul suffered a great impact. Not many Sound Mages dared to play the Soul-Twisting Melody continuously. It was no different from committing suicide!
"Pu!"
Suddenly, a long, sharp branch fell from the sky and pierced through the ground before anyone could react.
The tree was so huge that it shrouded the sky and the sun. The group had yet to leave the shady world under the tree. The deadly branch was like a spear that a deity had hurled down from the sky. It simply penetrated Nie Lengshan's head …
"Lengshan!" the female soldier burst into tears and screamed in agony.
The spear quickly withdrew from the sky and lifted Nie Lengshan into the air. The group lifted their heads, yet they could not see their leader. They could only see a few drops of blood dripping onto their faces …
A fear that struck at their very souls swept over everyone!!
What was that!?
What exactly was that!?
It penetrated Nie Lengshan's body within the blink of an eye and sent him flying into the sky …
Nie Lengshan, their pillar of support, had died, just like that?
What had killed him!?
The female soldier who was standing beside Nie Lengshan lifted her head. Her gaze had never left the tree …
When the female soldier first saw the Giant Purple Sacred Linden, she was utterly astonished by the beauty and beauty of nature. She never thought there would be such a mystical sight in this world. The tree was so huge that it shrouded the sky and the sun. It felt like they were touching Heaven.
However, when she looked up at the enormous tree, she could not help but shiver in fear … her body even began to tremble!
