Solving the Monster Bird
Chapter 95 Solving the Monster Bird
"Let's go in. Let's not go that deep. To put it bluntly, let's go into a range that we can bear but these strange birds cannot," Ai Jiangtu suggested.
Seeing that Ai Jiangtu had already begun to walk towards the stormy land, the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
After all, the mortality rate would be even greater if Gojo Satoru were to fight against thousands of strange birds.
As they headed towards the lightning storm area, Jiang Yu, seeing Mo Fan's pained expression and feeling like he'd been unfairly targeted, awkwardly remarked, "Don't you think it would have been better to just stay comfortably in the Gobi Valley without struggling?"
"Go to hell! You guys messed up this mess, why should I suffer with you?" Mo Fan cursed.
"You could also tell those birds that you're not actually familiar with them, and see if they'll let you go," Zhao Manyan added sarcastically.
Mo Fan felt utterly humiliated!
"Phew~~Phew phew~~!"
The birdsong was so close, it couldn't be drowned out by the roaring wind in my ears, and it pierced through the hazy, raging gale.
But several emerald figures could still be seen, flapping their wings with difficulty, fighting against the strong wind while charging towards them recklessly.
Upon arriving here, the Nationalist government's team decided not to proceed any further. The attacks they were experiencing here were already at a terrifying level; continuing would be digging their own graves.
"Let's do it!"
Ai Jiangtu stopped and immediately said.
With natural barriers in place, even if everyone gets hurt, it's still better than having no defense at all, right?
"Don't you guys think these beasts are a bit strange? Why would they rush into a place like this?" Jiang Yu said, puzzled.
Those who were weaker were killed before they even entered the area, but many strange birds still rushed over.
"Be careful not to get separated, keep the formation," Nan Jue commanded.
Just as Nan Jue finished speaking, a figure wielding a long spear rode against the wind and rushed upwards.
"Dominate the skies, and your enemies will grovel at my feet!"
Gojo Satoru was dressed in black, with blue eyes and white hair, and had crimson-gold wings on his back. He exuded a terrifying aura.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
Hundreds upon hundreds of attacks slashed from the spears crashed into the flock of strange birds.
In an instant, a large flock of strange birds was wiped out.
Visibility was so low inside the storm that people couldn't even see each other's faces, but they could still recognize Gojo Satoru at a glance from the scene in the sky.
The crimson-gold figure weaved through countless strange birds, its killing speed increasing until finally, all that could be seen were the afterimages left behind by Gojo Satoru.
"No wonder our mentor asked him to save our lives. His strength must be close to that of a super-class cultivator, right?" Jiang Yu said, his face full of shock.
"Yes, he has already pulled far ahead of us," Ai Jiangtu remarked with a sigh.
"Perhaps we will remain in his shadow forever," Zhao Manyan said with a wry smile.
However, there were too many strange birds, and even Gojo Satoru couldn't handle them in a short time, while the others couldn't kill many at all.
Under these circumstances, everyone except Gojo Satoru had no choice but to continue deeper into the territory.
The team continued to move towards the center of the lightning storm.
The wind was now strong enough to tear even servant-level creatures apart, and each of these high-level mages needed a defensive spell to move forward normally in the lightning storm.
Mo Fan and Nan Jue went inside for a look around, and Ai Jiangtu, seeing that they were just sitting there anyway, didn't bother with them.
…………
Ten minutes later, with the last strange bird being killed by Gojo Satoru, this horde of thousands of winged demons was wiped out.
With its crimson-gold wings flapping continuously, Gojo Satoru slowly descended and walked to the location where Ai Jiangtu and the others were.
However, they discovered that Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and several others were missing.
"What's going on? How many of them are there?" Gojo Satoru asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Mo Fan and the others went inside," Ai Jiangtu said directly.
"Oh." Gojo Satoru nodded, not paying much attention.
After a while, Mo Fan and the others walked out of there in high spirits.
"So happy? Did you gain something?" Gojo Satoru asked with a smile, raising his eyelashes.
"Wu, you've got it all done?" Mo Fan seemed a little surprised to hear the voice. It hadn't been that long, and at least ten thousand strange birds had been killed.
Even slaughtering a pig wouldn't be this fast!
"Yes, but we need to leave quickly. From what I've observed, very few of those strange birds are actually alive; most are replicas. It's very eerie." Gojo Satoru's expression turned slightly serious.
We should have some reverence for the unknown.
.........
Everyone started to return the way they came. Without Lu Yilin causing trouble, no accidents occurred while they were crossing the Gobi Valley.
As for Lu Yilin, who was already dead, no one went to collect his body, not even Zu Jiming and Li Kaifeng, who had a good relationship with him.
After returning to Hammiel and resting for a night, they immediately embarked on their journey to the Royal Felipe Castle, the national pavilion of Peru.
Upon arriving in Lima by plane, the group had no interest in sightseeing or shopping and hurriedly continued their journey by car to the Royal Felipe Castle on the Callao coast.
Upon arriving at Royal Felipe Castle, after they identified themselves, the guards at the gate politely led them into the castle.
Compared to the situation I encountered in Japan, this is obviously much better.
"Hello, I am the royal mage here—Osto. It is a pleasure to have you in Peru." A man with a dark complexion walked over, smiling at everyone, and appeared very polite.
"Hello, we are contestants from the Chinese National Team, here to obtain the National Team badge," Ai Jiangtu said directly.
"Aren't you going to take a rest?" asked the royal mage, Osto.
"No need, we came after we had rested." Ai Jiangtu got straight to the point.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements. Please follow me."
Auster led everyone outside. In fact, the Grand Competition Square in front of the castle was already visible when they entered the Royal Felipe Castle.
After the royal mage Osto had someone activate the barrier, the entire competition square was separated by a curtain of water, making it look like a huge fountain square.
The Peruvian team arrived shortly afterward; there were about eight or nine of them, some with dark skin and others with fair skin.
"These are young powerhouses from the East. I hope you will perform exceptionally well," Osto said with a smile.
The competition was simple: each side selected three players to compete as a team. Ai Jiangtu assigned Li Kaifeng, Mu Tingying, and Guan Yu to play.
Peru's overall strength is mediocre, and none of the three people assigned to them have reached a high level.
The entire competition was simple and easy, with no suspense whatsoever.
Suddenly, a man in military uniform with a face as black as iron walked out of the fortress. He was accompanied by about five or six people, both men and women, who, judging from their attire, were all people of high status.
"Oh, General Mott, are you also interested in watching the young people's competition?" Upon seeing the visitor, Auster smiled and gestured for Ai Jiangtu to wait a moment before immediately going to greet him with great respect.
"I have no interest," General Mott replied coldly.
Royal mage Osto felt awkward and didn't know how to respond.
General Mott ignored them, his gaze fixed like a hawk on Dongfang Yan and his group of yellow-skinned Asians, before asking, "Are you National Team athletes?"
"Yes, they are indeed national team players from China," Osto answered on their behalf.
"I didn't ask you," General Mott said, showing no mercy.
Auster was increasingly embarrassed and speechless. What was wrong with General Mott today?
"We are contestants from the Chinese National Team. What brings you here, General?" Ai Jiangtu sensed that this person was not very friendly, and his tone was not much better.
