C74 Escape

"Phew!"

Suddenly, a whistling sound of wind came from above everyone's heads.

Instinctively, everyone raised their heads to look at the sky.

In the pitch-black night sky, there were countless green stars shining, exceptionally beautiful.

However, when the moonlight shone down, the people under the moonlight finally saw the true appearance of the green stars.

It wasn't a star, it was the green eyes of countless nightbirds.

Under the moonlight, the eyes of the nightbirds sparkled, appearing exceptionally shocking.

Within his field of vision, all he could see was the sky being occupied by these nightbirds.

It was densely packed, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. There were probably ten thousand, no, more than a hundred thousand of them.

Just a glance would cause one to be stunned by that shocking number.

One had to know that nightbirds were the clan's Strange Beasts. Although the strength of each nightbird was only at the Mid Zhi Kai realm, with such a huge amount of Spiritual Awareness Stages added up, even Spiritual Awareness Stage Strange Beasts would have to flee in panic.

In the Gloomy Jungle, besides strength, numbers were also an important factor that determined the strength of the Strange Beast.

A group of more than ten Shadow Wolves could roam freely in the outer perimeter of the Gloomy Jungle, and these hundreds of thousands of nightbirds, even the powerful Strange Beasts in the middle region wouldn't dare to provoke them.

If an Essence Gate Stage warrior from the Origin Vortex encountered a nightbird, there was absolutely no chance of survival. Therefore, these nightbirds were also known as one of the three great Strange Beast natural disasters in the Gloomy Jungle.

Human disasters could be avoided, but natural disasters could not be avoided.

From this, one could imagine how terrifying the nightbird was.

Almost everyone's faces turned green when they saw these nightbirds.

Even the most anxious people had heard of how terrifying the Night Sparrow was.

Moreover, the characteristics of the nightbirds were also very easy to distinguish. They were their huge numbers and their dark green eyes.

Such obvious characteristics. . . Even an idiot would be able to recognize them.

"Wu. . . Wu, Senior Chu, we're not running into nightbirds now, are we?" Junior Brother Luo from the Rock Peak could not help but shiver as he asked his Senior Brother Chu in despair.

Chu Han calmly patted Junior Brother Luo's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. When nightbirds eat, they secrete a kind of analgebraic liquid from their throat, so you don't have to worry about feeling pain when they are bitten. "

Big Brother, is there a person like you who comforts others like this? Junior Brother Luo's face was full of grief. His entire face was deathly pale, and he emitted a cold aura like that of a dead person.

It was actually the nightbird. He had really run into trouble this time! Mu Zipei's expression on the Sword Peak was also not relaxed. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes, and he let out a slight sigh in his heart.

As for Hanyu who was standing beside him, he seemed unusually calm.

At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was, if these nightbirds ate him, would he have the time to practice his sword skills?

On the other hand, the actions of the two Clear Stream Peak disciples were somewhat abnormal.

They each held a piece of Jade Slip and used Yuan Power to wrap around the sound, as if they were saying something.

Could it be that those two were leaving behind their last words? Ye Heng glanced at the two of them and was exceptionally speechless.

Leaving his last words before he died, wasn't this the same as cursing himself to death?

Ye Heng shifted his gaze to the Fist Peak.

The behavior of Sun Yi and Sun Er in the Fist Peak was extremely strange.

Both of their actions were very similar. They knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted: "Master, don't blame this disciple for being unfilial. Today, this disciple is going to die. I will repay this kindness in my next life. "

The two of them spoke at the same time, and then knocked their heads three times.

"No! No! No!"

On the other side, Luh Yixun seemed to have gone mad. He repeated the word 'no' three times in a row, then ran back in the direction he came from without looking back.

His speed was more than two times faster than before. He was almost 30 meters away in one breath.

However, this action of his seemed to have disturbed the nightbird in the sky.

"Wah. . . "

The nightbird let out an unpleasant cry and pounced towards Luh Yixun with a swoosh.

That speed was three times faster than Luh Yixun's.

In just a breath's time, more than ten nightbirds fell onto Luh Yixun's body.

Luh Yixun's body was completely submerged by the nightbirds, turning completely black.

In the next moment, a heart-wrenching cry was heard from Luh Yixun's mouth.

"Argh! Argh!"

Heavens, who said that nightbirds didn't hurt when they ate people? Then why did Luh Yixun let out such a shrill scream?

Junior Brother Luo subconsciously glanced at Chu Han who was beside him.

Chu Han chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly.

Luh Yixun's scream only lasted for three breaths.

Then, the group of nightbirds flapped their wings and flew back into the sky.

Where Luh Yixun was standing just now, he was nowhere to be seen.

There was only a pale white skeleton left.

"Hiss!"

The crowd could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A moment ago, he was still alive and kicking, but now he was easily bitten into a skeleton.

Thinking about how he was going to turn into that ghastly white bone appearance, those who were still alive shuddered.

This was something everyone had witnessed with their own eyes. Even if they didn't want to accept it, they couldn't.

At this moment, the atmosphere was strangely quiet, as if it was the calm before a storm.

And the one who broke this deathly silence was Jade Maiden Peak's Bai Yun.

Bai Yun looked at Ye Heng with a complicated expression and said to Ye Heng with a helpless tone, "Junior Brother Ye, I'm very sorry. "

Apologize? Why did you say sorry to me? Ye Heng was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Bai Yun meant.

However, in the next moment, Ye Heng understood.

He saw Bai Yun lightly pat the storage bag hanging on her waist.

A dazzling white light shot out from her storage bag and turned into a light shield, wrapping her and Xe Xingyi in an instant.

The light shield had just covered the two of them and it had already reached its limit.

This was also the reason why Bai Yun wanted to apologize to Ye Heng.

Compared to Ye Heng whom she had just met, Bai Yun would naturally choose to save her junior sister.

In the next moment, the light barrier trembled violently. With a speed of a thousand feet per breath, it swiftly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

"Senior Bai Yun, why didn't you save that fellow?" Xe Xingyi who was within the light barrier did not have the joy of being saved and asked Bai Yun in an unusually dissatisfied manner.

Bai Yun sighed and smiled bitterly, "Xingyi, do you think that I do not want to save him? It is just that this Origin Light Escape Technique can only be used on two people. If I want to bring Junior Brother Ye along, then I must abandon you. "

After hearing Bai Yun's helpless words, Xe Xingyi immediately became silent and her pretty face revealed a trace of shame.

"I'm sorry senior sister Bai Yun, I. . . Wronged you. " Xe Xingyi somewhat lowered her head and lowered her head. Her beautiful big eyes were covered with a layer of haze.

"It's nothing. Moreover, Xingyi, you don't need to worry too much. Junior Brother Ye is not as simple as he looks on the surface. I believe that he will definitely survive. " Bai Yun's tone was calm, but it carried a force that people could not help but believe.

And the one Xe Xingyi liked and admired the most was her Senior Sister Bai Yun. So naturally, she firmly believed her words.

However, in front of this nightbird that blotted out the sky and covered the sun, Ye Heng did not have the confidence to survive, but where did Bai Yun get the confidence from?

After Bai Yun left with Xe Xingyi, the nightbird, which had been leading the way, cried out strangely and pounced towards everyone.

Just a glance at that number would cause one's scalp to go numb.

Not to mention that so many nightbirds were all heading towards them.

Everyone closed their eyes, silently waiting for the arrival of death.

However, Ye Heng did not lose hope.

Because, when Ye Heng threw his spirit into the tattoo space, he discovered that the Illusion Devouring Tapir had actually woken up.

To Ye Heng, this was no different from being saved from death, and he had found a breakthrough point.

"Wah. . . Wah. "

The Illusion Devouring Tapir seemed to understand Ye Heng's current situation and nodded its little head.

In a flash of light, it appeared in front of Ye Heng.

In the next moment, an extremely powerful mental energy wave burst out from the small body of the Illusion Devouring Tapir.

The Mental Energy swiftly spread out in all directions like sound waves. It was as if a stone had been thrown down from the calm surface of the lake, causing ripples to appear.

Then, under Ye Heng's horrified gaze, the dozens of nightbirds that were flying towards him seemed to have lost their gravity and fell to the ground.

Furthermore, the range of influence of the mental energy was far from just these dozens of nightbirds.

The hundreds of thousands of nightbirds that filled the sky were also enveloped by this mental energy at this moment.

At this moment, all the nightbirds had fallen into the illusionary realm of the Illusion Devouring Tapirs. Each of them had their heads tilted and fell down like rain.

How could Ye Heng let go of the opportunity created by the Illusion Devouring Tapir to escape?

Almost at the same time that the first nightbird fell to the ground, he picked up the Illusion Devouring Tapir with one hand and ran towards the depths of the dense forest at an astonishing speed.

"Wah. . . Ha!"

The Illusion Devouring Tapir let out a weak and weak snort. Its breathing seemed to be unusually hurried, and a pale expression hung on its small face.

It seemed that the large scale illusionary realm constructed by the spirit just now was also a huge burden to the Illusion Devouring Tapir.

Furthermore, Ye Heng could clearly feel that the Illusion Devouring Tapir was abnormally weak at this moment. It was far from being as strong as the spirit from the other side when it came out.

Will it be alright? Thinking of this, Ye Heng could not help but look at the Illusion Devouring Tapir in his arms with some worry.

As if it saw Ye Heng's concerned gaze, the Illusion Devouring Tapir used its small head to rub Ye Heng's chin.

Then, it licked the tattoo on Ye Heng's right hand's back with its tongue and turned into a ray of light that merged into it.

"Have a good rest. " Ye Heng gently touched the tattoo on the back of his right hand and said in a low voice. He ran even faster.

After all, Ye Heng didn't know how long the illusion of the Illusion Devouring Tapir could affect such a large group of nightbirds. In any case, it wasn't wrong to run as far away as possible.

In addition, the disciples who had closed their eyes and waited for death by the side of the River of Rage, who were waiting for death a moment ago, couldn't help but open their eyes curiously when they saw that death had yet to arrive.

Then, they saw a strange scene. The nightbird with a head full of nightbirds fell to the ground, and it wasn't just one or two of them, it was a group of them.

Although they didn't know the reason, how could they be wrong about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? In the next moment, they scattered like birds and beasts.
