Chapter 93: Fearless
Xue Ling asked calmly.
“Who are the people down the mountain?”
Bai Di didn’t hide it from him. “They’re the divine envoys and guards of the Dark Moon Temple.”
Hearing the words ‘Dark Moon Temple’, the expressions of all the beasts present changed. A timid beast couldn’t help but exclaim, “We’ve already hidden here. How did we still encounter people from the Dark Moon Temple?!”
Bai Di immediately looked at the beasts and acutely sensed something amiss. “Do you have a grudge against the Dark Moon Temple?”
The bird beast quickly shut his mouth and refused to say anything else.
But it was his evasive attitude that confirmed Bai Di’s guess.
Xue Ling said leisurely, “It’s not impossible for us to help the Rock Wolf Tribe kill the enemies, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want us to help, you have to show some sincerity, right?”
The situation was urgent, and Bai Di didn’t want to waste time with him. “What do you want?” he asked crisply.
Xue Ling’s lips curled into a devilish smile. “I want your little female.”
Bai Di looked at him steadily, his eyes cold. “I refuse.”
“Then we have nothing to talk about.”
Bai Di turned and walked away. He did not waste any more time.
Watching him quickly walk away, Xue Ling turned to look at Shen Yan, who had walked over at some point. He casually asked, “Patriarch, the people from the Dark Moon Temple are at the foot of the mountain. Should we continue fighting? Or should we continue to escape like the last time?”
Shen Yan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with thought. “Fighting is not a small matter. If we start a war with the Dark Moon Temple, they’ll definitely not let us off. Our lives will be even more difficult in the future.”
Xue Ling smiled faintly. “According to you, Patriarch, we’re going to escape again this time?”
“That’s not what I mean. It’s rare for us to find a suitable place to live. It’s a pity to give it up. I think we can wait and see. If the Rock Wolf Tribe can defeat the people from the Dark Moon Temple, we won’t have to do anything. But if the Rock Wolf Tribe can’t defeat them, it won’t be too late for us to step in.”
Shen Yan did not want to be a coward, but as the leader of the tribe, he had to be responsible for the safety of his entire tribe.
If he could avoid war, he would do it.
It was difficult for them to reproduce. Every one of them was extremely precious. They could not withstand the casualties on the battlefield.
Xue Ling said nothing more.
He understood the difficulties of being the tribe leader, but he was still not used to it.
The feather race that had once dominated the sky had now fallen to the point where they could only hide at home when faced with the enemy’s appearance.
How miserable!
…
When Bai Di returned to the mountainside, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye had already rushed into the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.
Under the guidance of the leader, the wolf beasts began a soul-stirring battle with the snake beasts.
The snake beasts’ attack power was very high, but the wolf beasts were very skilled as well. In addition, there were many of them. The two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell who was stronger.
To make matters worse, many vegetable fields and fruit trees were destroyed in the chaos. Bai Di’s heart sank.
Without hesitation, he rushed down the mountain and struck a bolt of lightning at the beasts who were still fighting in the vegetable fields and the fruit forest!
The skin of the snakes were charred!
At this moment, on the top of the rock mountain, Xue Ling and Shen Yan flew into the sky and looked down at the battlefield.
Shen Yan was seriously evaluating the chances of winning against the snake beast when he suddenly heard Xue Ling ask.
‘Do you remember when you first flew?’
Shen Yan thought for a moment. “It was six months after I hatched.”
Under normal circumstances, a young bird could learn to fly three months after breaking out of its shell. However, for some reason, Shen Yan still could not learn to fly even after six months.
Finally, he was led to the edge by his father.
His father had told him, “Birds don’t need trash who can’t fly. This is your last chance—fly or die!”
Then, he was pushed off the cliff by his father.
The young Shen Yan flapped his wings in extreme fear. He tried his best to look back at his father, who was standing on the mountaintop.
His father was also watching him. His seemingly hard and cold eyes were filled with anticipation.
At that moment, Shen Yan finally flew with all his might.
Xue Ling said, “You were so young when you first flew. I didn’t expect you to be so big now. If your father were still alive, would he be relieved to see you like this?”
Shen Yan clenched his fists.
Xue Ling asked, “We’ve already lost our home because of fear. Now, are we going to lose our last dignity as birds because of fear?”
His father’s words still echoed in Shen Yan’s ears.
“We’re children of the god of the sky. As long as we’re in the sky, we have nothing to fear!”
Some snake beasts dragged the cut trees and piled them at the foot of the mountain, preparing to burn it down.
“This is our last chance.”
Xue Ling transformed into a huge red condor. He flapped his wings and swooped down like a ball of burning flames!
The moment the tree was ignited, Xue Ling flapped his wings.
The flames pounced on the snake beasts, burning them until they screamed!
Bai Di looked up at the condor in the air and let out a deafening roar!
The roar entered Shen Yan’s ears. He finally made up his mind and turned around to ask his tribesmen.
“Remember why we migrated here across the mountains?”
Someone replied, “Because our home was destroyed!”
“That’s right. Our home was destroyed by the monsters released by the Dark Moon Temple! The people from the Dark Moon Temple are at the foot of the mountain now. It’s time for revenge!
“All male beasts, listen to my orders. Enter level one combat mode! Protect your homes and kill all your enemies!”
All the male beasts transformed into their beast forms and spread their wings to fly into the sky. They roared in unison, “Kill all our enemies!!”
Those hatchlings had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they cried on the spot.
Shen Yan glanced at them, then picked out two calm male beasts and instructed, “You’re in charge of watching over the hatchlings.”
“Should I hide the hatchlings?”
However, Shen Yan said, “No, let them watch from the sky how we fight.”
The birds didn’t want trash who couldn’t fly!
They couldn’t be weak and useless either!
Shen Yan transformed into a huge albatross and flapped his wings to rush down the mountain!
The male beasts of the feather tribe flew down behind their leader in two lines. From a distance, they looked like two beautiful streamers.
They took the opportunity to dive down and grab the snake beasts.
The birds were indeed natural enemies of the snake beasts. The claws of the birds could easily break the skin of a snake, capture them, and throw them down from the sky. The snakes shattered one after another like eggs.
When Ma Qing saw this scene, his entire face immediately contorted in anger after a short moment of shock!
Birds?!
Why were there birds here?!
