Chapter 857: 857
The Feather Clan of the Gold Crow Kingdom was best known for their speed . Li Yao and Jin Xinyue had only just heard their sound when the golden brightness covered almost half of the sky and crashed into the cloud of insects that was coming at them . For a moment, blood was spluttering, and yells were echoing nonstop .
A heated battled was on . Blood ran like a river, and countless insects were burnt and fell from the sky like raindrops .
Another team of the Feather Clan left the battle formation and circled above the forest, while they shrieked loudly, "Where are you, First Princess?"
Jin Xinyue was overjoyed and climbed on a tree, but before she opened her mouth to call her saviors, Li Yao had covered her mouth and dragged her back to the depths of the obscure forest!
"Hurry up and run!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth, with cold sweat all over his forehead . He ran crazily inside the forest together with Jin Xinyue until they were more than ten kilometers away . He caught his breath and said, breathing hard, "Did you not notice anything wrong? If Elder Nether Spring really had a secret, he would never have asked Elder Blood Robe for reinforcements! Was he not scared that his secret was exposed?
"Alright . Let's say that Elder Nether Spring and Elder Blood Robe are wearing the same pants and have known each other's secrets for a long time, but isn't it too much of a coincidence that reinforcements of the Gold Crow Kingdom came just in time?
"I don't like coincidences . Not at all!
"Besides, the Blood Demon Sector is faced with a great war right now . The four superpowers are all allies on the surface . It is one thing to hunt a certain someone down in secret, but it is a whole other thing if they are engaged in an open, head-on confrontation!
"The reinforcements of the Gold Crow Kingdom attacked Elder Nether Spring's subordinates the moment they showed up . It doesn't make sense to me at all!"
Jin Xinyue was not stupid, either, or she would not have been selected as a saintess of the Pantheon of Demons . She knew the demon race better than Li Yao did . After hearing Li Yao's words, she immediately cursed, "Damn! They seem to be on the same side!"
The moment she raised her suspicion, dozens of explosions burst out right above their heads . Bright golden ripples spread out in the sky and slowly condensed into weird rune arrays from which countless streaks of brightness leapt out . However, the newcomers did not seem to be solid and maintained an appearance bordering on transparency . Even their demonic energy had been restricted to the minimum .
Had Li Yao not calmed down and perceived them on purpose, he would not have been able to notice them at all .
"Mirage Falcons!"
Jin Xinyue's voice was full of desperation .
Mirage Falcons were powerful biochemical beasts bred by the Gold Crow Kingdom . The wingspan of every Mirage Falcon was more than fifty meters, and they all weighed more than twenty times . Their cruising speed was 2 . 5 times the speed of sound while their highest speed could surpass seven times the sonic speed . They were able to climb up five hundred meters vertically in less than one minute . They could even fight briefly in the orbit of a planet outside of the atmosphere . Their specifications were not only much better than those of the armed shuttles of the Star Glory Federation but also tantalizing for most crystal suits .
What was more terrifying was that the feathers of the Mirage Falcons were covered in a special greasy membrane that could avoid the detection of spiritual energy . The birds had also practiced the demonic arts for camouflage and mimesis, which made it impossible for the enemy to keep track of them . They were truly invisible demon beasts and well deserved their name 'Mirage' .
The wings of the Mirage Falcons, when unfolded, boasted some specially refined feathers that were not only extremely hard but also mixed with acids, venomous liquids, or unsteady crystals . Such weapons could be shot out rapidly by the violent constriction of the muscles, and their speed could surpass the speed of sound, too . The fierce firepower of the Mirage Falcons was definitely no worse than that of the crystal railguns and crystals cannons of the Cultivators .
Besides, the elite troops of the Gold Crow Kingdom would often equip the ferocious beasts with the crystal cannons that they captured during battle, making them able to carry out the attack abilities of both the demon race and mankind!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
A hundred fiery snakes suddenly dispersed in the sky and whipped down brutally, leaving deep ravines inside the forest .
Those fiery snakes were all made of the feathers of the Mirage Falcons .
After every feather was pierced into the trunk of a tree, the tree would immediately be set on fire, burning at a speed far higher than normal flames would . All the trees were charcoal within a moment .
The trees deep inside the Hundred Desolation Mountain had grown for thousands of years and were harder than rocks, but even they could not resist the bombardment of the fiery feathers . It was not hard to guess what would happen to a body made of flesh and blood if it was hit by such feathers .
The location where Li Yao and Jin Xinyue had originally been was drowned in an ocean of flames .
The ocean of flames spread out as if it were a spring . The birds were particularly concentrated near the route of Li Yao and Jin Xinyue's escape .
Li Yao and Jin Xinyue found it hard to raise their heads because of the barrage .
Right then, an enormous Mirage Falcon finally revealed its real appearance in the sky .
Even Li Yao gasped at its hideousness .
It seemed more fitting to call the Mirage Falcons combinations of pterodactyls that had grown feathers and hawks than to call them birds .
Its head was almost ten meters long and could be extended or retreated free at will . When the beast was cruising at a supersonic speed, its head would hide in its body so that its body would be perfectly streamlined like a water drop .
However, right now, it was hovering in midair at a low speed, and it stretched its neck out like a snake . The ten or so crimson lumps that grew on the neck all expanded slowly, emitting translucent, orange brightness .
"What is it doing right now?"
Li Yao had no idea why the Mirage Falcon quitted the stealth mode and why it was stretching its neck in midair like a crowing cock .
