Chapter 256: Confrontation!
A sharp cramping sensation came from the right wing. Until the soul recovered, Lin Ye's wings were already abolished.
The wings drooped weakly, and a very obvious fault appeared in Lin Ye's soul. Lin Ye's right wing couldn't be lifted at all, no matter what shape Lin Ye turned into, even if he turned into a human form, the right arm controlled by the missing soul hung down weakly, no matter how hard Lin Ye tried, it couldn't be transmitted to the arm.
Lin Ye's symptoms of infection did not appear in his body, let alone in his genes, but in his soul.
But even so, Lin Ye's intuition told him that the black mark that had penetrated into his soul still hadn't disappeared.
"There's nothing I can do about it, it's a symptom of regurgitation when the host touches the Soul Evolution Zone...... I am only a core product of a fifth-level civilization, and my research on the soul evolution belt is not thorough enough to help the host solve this problem. The system said, with deep regret in its tone, and for the first time it began to feel deep remorse for its own powerlessness.
"I know that this thing is because of my bloodline, and I will have to face it sooner or later. Lin Ye said. He shook his left wing.
As early as when Lin Ye was not yet born, Lin Ye's eggshell was continuously illuminated by the blood moonlight, and thousands of years passed. The Blood Moonlight, which can easily change the evolutionary direction of living beings, is constantly trying to infect Lin Ye's Phoenix Egg, and even as a divine beast, it is eventually affected by the Blood Moonlight.
"I'll make it mine......" Lin Ye said lightly, clenching his claws. His heart was full of excitement, this was an opportunity for it, although there was a fork in the road to becoming a phoenix, but compared to the bright and righteous path, this fork in the road might be able to lead Lin Ye to a farther end.
"System, do you know what I will become if I am devoured by it?" Lin Ye raised his wings and said to the system.
"Based on speculation and the host's description of it, there is a high probability that the host will transform into a black phoenix. ”
The phoenix's abilities are largely determined by the color of its body. The ability of a phoenix is related to the color of its body, if a phoenix has the ability to control the wind, then it will inevitably have cyan feathers, and if it can control fire, then it will have fiery red feathers.
Lin Ye had never thought about what a phoenix with black as the base tone would look like. The five phoenixes have five colors, red, blue, white, yellow, purple, and no black. However, the blood moonlight created a new black form for Lin Ye.
"This is my chance!" Lin Ye's eyes lit up slightly.
"No, this is an opportunity that belongs to the entire Phoenix Civilization!" the system immediately added. After learning about the root of the Night Phoenix, it and Lin Ye were not only not pessimistic, but immediately became optimistic. Only the Blood Moon that rises in the Blood Moon Lake has the ability that even the system cannot analyze, and its power is obvious to all. If this dangerous power is used for his own use, this is what Lin Ye needs to do.
Two days later, the army of birds arrived as scheduled.
The Phoenix Civilization, which was close to the mouth of the Three Thousand Dragons, was ready at this moment.
Eighty troglodyte dragons wearing dragon blood armor are ready to go, and some of them have even awakened the muscles of the bird, and have been promoted to squad leader by Fire Claw, leading the Ten Dragons squad respectively.
A bird spy was sneaking its way through the cold path, silent with fern leaves swaying silently in the breeze.
The stones in front of them shook slightly, and the uniform footsteps of the army of birds behind even caused resonance throughout the land. The bird scout squinted, and it saw a feather in the bush in front of it, which was very conspicuous. This is deliberately placed here by flowers and birds to lure birds. The bird spy really hooked it, it went up to check in confusion, and then stepped into the air with its front foot, and fell directly into the deep pit dug in advance.
Pinches of alloy steel spikes protruded from the bottom of the pit, piercing the bird's internal organs, leaving a stain of blood. Its eyes were wide open, confused, as if it had not yet understood the end of its own death.
With the death of the first bird scout, there is a second and third.
A total of fifty birds rushed in front of the dense forest area, and most of them were eliminated by the traps and ambushes arranged in advance by the Phoenix Civilization before they had time to ventilate the large army.
One of the Bird Elders was surrounded by the rest of the Bird Birds, and he looked around and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.
It immediately shouted, "Where are our spies?"
Ten minutes ago, it had discovered that all the spies it had sent out had disappeared, and none of them had been found.
At the same time as he shouted, the sound of muskets was heard from all directions.
"Bang!
One by one, the birds fell to the ground, their hearts pierced with precision by the metal bullets. One of the Elder Birds was directly hit by ten alloy bullets. It raised its wings to resist, and its wings were pierced through ten holes like rags, its wings drooping, and its chest was caught in its muscles as it was hit by the metal bullets that pierced through its wings.
"There's an enemy attack!" Elder Bird immediately shouted, and at the same time lay down. Overhead were flying bullets, and the birds around them collapsed into a clatter. They looked around in panic and saw that more than forty muskets had protruded from the dense forest to the left and right, aiming straight at them.
With a bang, a deafening explosion sounded from a distance of three hundred meters in the left rear, and a three-meter-deep crater was blown up on the ground, killing dozens of birds nearby on the spot. Fifty birds were injured by the alloy fragments set off by the explosion, and all of them were injured.
The caveman holding a torch in his hand looked at the cannon in front of him in surprise, the explosion just now was caused by him.
The cannon's head is covered with green fern leaves, perfectly hidden in the dense forest, almost undetectable. The inside of the cannon was filled with black powder, and in addition to the projectiles used to fire, a large number of alloy fragments were also filled to inflict fragment damage. It is a weapon made by the caveman dragon craftsman, combined with Lin Ye's memories, and is a relatively simple cannon.
There is more than one cannon made of alloy materials, Lin Ye has already ambushed five cannons nearby, if it weren't for the lack of time, the alloy materials obtained by the Phoenix Civilization could make more than ten green-clothed cannons.
The explosion caused by the cannon immediately sent the birds into a panic. In the eyes of the birds, the Blood Moon Lake was originally a forbidden area, and they didn't know what strange things would happen. Each of them was vigilant, and at the same time suppressed the fear in their hearts. And this deafening explosion immediately activated the fear in their hearts.
"Run for your life!" a bird cried out in a panic, and it immediately turned and fled, but it was pierced through the heart by a long-range feather spike from the elder bird, and the bird fell to the ground and immediately lost its movement.
"Don't let anyone try to escape! Elder Bird yelled.
A total of ten elders of the birds took control of their ranks, and the birds half-crouched down and began to spread their wings, covering their heads, and at the same time shaking their bodies and posing as a round shield. The sound of explosions from the front and right sides made the birds' bodies tremble a few times, but instead of flinching, they shot sharp feathers from their bodies and shot straight into the dense forest in front of them.
The Feather Thorn Array is an effective formation developed by the Bird in the battle with the giant bat, this set of Feather Thorn Array specializes in dealing with distant enemies, and at the same time uses a wide range of feather spike shots to resist the bullets that are also fired from afar, so that the bullets lose their impact power under the impact of the feather thorns.
There was a clang, and from the dense forest came the grunt of the cavedragon in pain. The dragon's blood armor was covered in thorns, and several of them were slightly injured as a result, but they were fine.
The cannon shot out of the dense forest was shot down by the oncoming feather spikes, and the metal bullets fired were also struck by the feathers, and they were skewed off course, and the birds passed sideways. As the birds reacted, they were already able to observe the trajectory of the metal bullets using their keen dynamic vision, and they were able to shoot them down with their feathered spikes in advance.
The gunpowder used in the alloy bullet is the lowest grade of black powder, and the propulsion force is insufficient, and if it were not for the fact that the bullet used is made of high-grade alloy, I am afraid that even half a centimeter thick steel armor would not be able to penetrate it.
For a while, there was a stalemate between the two, and no one could help the other. There are still a lot of feather spines on the bird's body, but the amount of ammunition possessed by the cave dragon on Lin Ye's side is rapidly depleting.
Lin Ye remained invisible, flying in the air with one wing, and he could see the scene in front of him clearly. Lin Ye locked his gaze on the ten bird elders at his feet, these elders were tightly guarded by the bird guards with their own bodies, and there were almost no flaws. If you remove the stealth now and attack the Elder Bird, it will be impossible to kill it.
Elder Bird was keenly aware of the use of muskets by the enemy attacking them, and they were first shocked and then rejoiced: "Haha, you actually dare to take the initiative to come to the door, you are really looking for death!"
They burst out laughing, realizing that the other party was the culprit behind the two teams that killed them!
But they were not nervous at all, and after appreciating the power of muskets and cannons, they were overjoyed.
"As long as we get your technology, our Bird Civilization is absolutely capable of overpowering the other four alien races and becoming the most powerful second-level civilization!" one of the Bird Elders thought.
"A small native civilization can only be our stepping stone!" The ten Owl Elders glanced at each other and immediately made a decision, shouting, "Maintain the formation, rush in, and kill them all!"
They had a greedy look on their faces, and it seemed that they would soon be able to defeat the cavemen who had attacked them.
Since the parabolic shot will be intercepted, then go ahead and use the vertical parabola!
At the sound of the fire claw, the five green-clothed cannons immediately turned their angles and raised their heads upward, and as the yellow grass fuse was ignited, the artillery shot the projectile into the air with alloy fragments. Twenty seconds later, the projectiles that shattered into splinters rained down like a torrent of rain and smashed onto the heads of the feathered birds.
A bird with a shard of alloy in its neck cut off its spine, and a bird with a shard of tendons in its wings, rolled in pain while holding its wings. And this kind of situation quickly happened in every corner of the Feather Thorn Formation. There was a layer of fear hanging over each of the birds' heads, and none of them knew whose heads the alloy shards would fall.
When the caveman ran out of ammunition, a large number of birds were killed in the Feather Thorn Array.
A total of 126 birds died, and 470 birds, including those that died, lost their combat effectiveness.
"Rush!"
As soon as the fire claw gave the order, the surrounding cave dragons roared loudly, rushed into the feather thorn formation, which was already missing a piece and a piece was missing, and rushed back and forth to kill. Under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they have reached the same pace, and none of them are left behind, and they cooperate seamlessly.
If in the past, two caveworms could only deal with one bird, now the caveman dragon can start a one-on-one brutal battle with the bird!
Although the hands of the cave dragon are degraded, they have already brought with them the alloy knuckles carefully crafted by the craftsmen!
The Bird is more agile and stronger than the Caveysaurus, and is much stronger than the Caveman without the Awakening Muscle Enhancement. However, when faced with a caveman wearing dragon blood armor, they were unable to kill the caveman with a single blow. On the other hand, if you can't dodge it, you will be hit by the burrowing dragon's finger tiger, and the sharp spikes will pierce directly through their fragile bodies.
At first, when they saw that the number of enemies was less than a hundred, the Owl Elders even let out a contemptuous laugh, but after seeing the fighting power of the caveworms, they all opened their mouths in surprise.
Fireclaw's military prowess was evident in the battle, and every time he shouted a command, the troglodyte dragons around him carried out his orders without thinking, completely out of the instinct of his body. Under the control of Fire Claw, the troglodytes have gained the skill of B-rank group action! With teamwork, each troglodyte dragon's combat power has tripled compared to before!
If one cave-dwelling dragon and one ostrich are on par, then two troglomian dragons can defeat three ostritons. Fifty troglodytes can easily defeat two hundred birds!
The ten elders who led the Owl operation had no such skills. Although they can command the birds to form a feather thorn array, but that's all, each bird has a ghost in their hearts, they are too shrewd, and if there is no strong military strategist to command, their actions are simply tacit.
"Let's kill it!" the ten elders saw the power of Fireclaw, and they immediately jumped out of the flock of birds and decided to kill Fireclaw first.
They were menacing, and just as Fireclaw had just kicked an ostrich away, an elder burst out from behind Firepaw and hit Firepaw in the cheek with a powerful back kick. If it is an ordinary cave dragon, this time it will directly break its cervical vertebrae!
