Chapter 7: Landing
Over the mysterious island, two rays of light bloomed in the black frenzy that covered the entire island.
Golden-red fire lotuses and azure thunder pools appeared on both sides of the Kuroshio Tide at about the same time, and a large number of starling charcoal fell from the sky like raindrops.
Although these two blows wiped out at least hundreds of starlings in one fell swoop, this number was so insignificant for a flock of starlings with hundreds of thousands of individuals.
In the face of such a number of clusters, this level of attack was extremely powerless, at least for the first-order contractors, who were not qualified to fight against them except to flee for their lives.
Even the fire lotus and thunder pool, which looked amazing, only lasted for a few breaths in the black tide, and then they were directly engulfed by the surging tide, and they were about to be extinguished in one fell swoop.
In the center of the fire lotus, the flame wings behind Xu Yue had quietly spread, and he was suspended in the void, looking around at the overwhelming waves of starlings all around.
The hurricane that flapped their wings alone tore the outer flame lotus petals apart.
Seeing this scene, he was not surprised, although the coverage area of the red lotus can reach nearly 100 meters, but the periphery is basically some scattered firepower, and it is okay to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers, but when dealing with an elite unit like starling, it seems to be a little weak.
Only the core area of the red lotus, the flame lotus petals within about 40 meters can cause effective damage to it, but in the face of such an exaggerated number of starlings that are not afraid of death, the difference between the core area and the periphery is only a few seconds longer.
Looking at the black wave that was rapidly pressing over, Xu Yue didn't have the slightest idea of fighting with it, he first expanded the flame wings behind him, transforming them into the most suitable style for the 'Qixia' to launch, and then the black earth tower shield fragments surrounded his body, forming a rapidly rotating circular cone.
Before the black tide could be completely suppressed, the high-pitched chirping of phoenix birds sounded in the sky, and the spinning black cones with thick flame tails pierced down towards the starlings below.
Behind him, the fire lotus was completely submerged in an instant, and then countless large starlings flocked to the thorny black cone from all directions.
The death of a large number of ethnic groups has provoked a fierce hatred among the individuals around them, who have launched a suicidal attack on foreign objects in the flock in a near-universal momentum.
The hard beak and claws pecked frantically at the cone from all angles, but as soon as it got closer, it was crushed by the rapidly spinning fragments of the tower shield, and in an instant the rich color of blood mixed with minced flesh was splashed, and then evaporated by the fiery golden red flame tail.
Starlings in general aren't too difficult to deal with, and what scares them is their staggering numbers, as well as the true damage that comes with each hit.
The black cone penetrates the layers of barriers, and the blood-colored splash seems to be relaxed and invincible, but on closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that the entire vertebral body trembles slightly under this dense impact, and there are fine earthy yellow lines on the body surface.
At this time, inside the vertebrae, Xu Yue, as the manipulator, was not in an easy state, under the crazy attack of the starling flock, his health and the durability of the earth tower shield were rapidly declining.
With each peck blow from the bird's beak, a strange force invades his body, constantly reducing his health, which is the real damage that cannot be reduced.
And under the armor-piercing effect of the beak skill, each blow of the starling will temporarily make the defense of the tower shield fragment -1, and if it lasts for a maximum of ten seconds, the cone formed by the tower shield will be directly destroyed due to the durability to zero.
At that time, he can only resist the starling tide with his physical body, that is to say, if he fails to break through the encirclement within ten seconds, it will be the end of nine deaths.
The true damage is the most restrained by all kinds of meat shields, even if the damage is not much each time, but the number is too dense.
Regardless of the distress, he took out a bottle of blue potion again and threw it into his mouth, the blood volume quickly converted into mana value, the golden red flame tail behind the flame rose sharply, and the speed of the cone spike soared again, if he couldn't break out of the black tide as soon as possible, then his survival trial was estimated to be over.
Time passed silently, and then passed silently, but there were still fluttering and congested wings below, until the sixth second, as the last layer of barrier was ground into minced meat, and the cone finally opened up.
Without the interception of the birds, the cone turned directly into a line of fire that ran straight through the earth.
From a distance, I saw a flaming meteor suddenly descending from the overwhelming black curtain, and behind it was a black tide that followed like a heavenly river pouring down.
"Boom!!"
The meteor smashed straight into the depths of the dense forest below, and then disappeared into the ground, followed by the tide like a waterfall, and slammed into the entire dense forest, and the large trees were torn to slag by their wings, and only the chirping of birds and birds was left in the sky.
Inside the underground, Xu Yue, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, looked up, and the top of his head was covered by dense starlings at this time through the hole drilled out of the cone.
Even if they are out of the Kuroshio, they do not intend to let go of this human who has killed so many of their kind, and the claws are constantly cutting through the mud and rocks to expand the hole.
The sporadic earth and rocks fell from time to time, and the noisy chirping was deafening, which also showed that the number of starlings on the surface was unimaginable, and the golden red flames that lingered on the surface of the body illuminated the darkness, Xu Yue stared coldly at the pair of huge scarlet birds outside the cave entrance.
He opened his right hand, and dozens of scattered metal fragments quickly combined and condensed at the front of his palm, and after a while, it returned to the image of a thick earth tower shield, but at this time, the color of the tower shield had completely turned earthy yellow, and the strength accumulated through the effect of 'Earth Fury' inside had reached the extreme.
The tower shield was reconstructed, and when his right hand was withdrawn, he put the tower shield against his shoulder, and then his feet shook with force, and he carried the entire tower shield and slammed into the soil layer on the right side of the cave top, and the majestic force poured into the earth.
In the next moment, it was like a landslide and the ground was sinking, and the entire dense forest was trembling, and under the double blessing of 'piercing the mountain and breaking the mountain' and 'the wrath of the earth', Xu Yue's blow directly shook the soil layer about 100 meters above his head.
Dozens of deep cracks crisscrossed the surface, then the ground was torn apart by rapidly spreading cracks, the cracked soil rose and fell in the turmoil, and finally the whole land exploded.
The force that burst from the inside out was like a large missile bursting deep underground, and countless large pieces of gravel and rock burst out of the air, squeezing the flock of starlings above that were caught off guard and squeezing out a blood mist in the sky.
"Boom!"
A cold command sounded from the ground, and then a vigorous secondary explosion was generated, and the continuous crackling roar resounded one after another, and countless splashed fragments turned the entire body surface space into a huge open-air meat grinding field, and all the creatures in the area covered by the explosion became a pile of minced meat residues that were difficult to identify.
The huge pillar of the waterfall that fell from the black canopy, under this violent explosion, completely turned into a flood of blood pools at the bottom, and a large number of starlings scattered, circling and wailing around the blood pool, but there was no more intention to rashly invade.
Time passed gradually, and after finding that there was no foreign object to continue falling, the black tide in the sky finally slowly dispersed, and the starlings gathered around the blood pool, because they had not been aware of the human breath for a long time, followed the large army back to their respective nests.
As the Kuroshio Tide disappeared, the noisy and boiling mysterious island returned to calm, and the bright golden sunlight once again shone on this green island comparable to a small land, and it seemed to be peaceful.
Only the dark red blood stains left on the branches and leaves of the dense forest still tell what kind of killing happened here not long ago.
