The boat sped over the forest and headed south.

Suddenly, the sky in front of him suddenly became dark, and the spirit beasts in captivity on the flying boat let out a strange cry from their mouths, and the shout made the disciples of the Nangong family guarding outside the iron cage angry, and waved the grass and rattan whip in their hands and whipped them.

The cry of the spirit beast became more miserable, and the gloomy sky fell much faster.

It didn't take long for the entire sky to be covered by a black and oppressive giant bird, which was very ugly, without a single feather on its body, and its whole body was full of cyan wrinkled skin, and a pair of fleshy wings were more than ten meters long, looking like a hairless bat that had been magnified a thousand times.

However, they are completely different from bats in that they have four sharp claws on a pair of feet growing on their abdomen, which shine like lapis gold.

These giant birds that look like bats are not spirit beasts, but a kind of group of demon beasts, and because they look very similar to bats, and their vestigial legs are also very similar to the claws of lizards, they are called monitor lizard bats.

As for their blue, wrinkled skin, it can turn blue over time due to its perennial growth in damp caves, and their wrinkled skin may be the result of deformed hair.

It is recorded in the book "Five Elements of Ghost Owl Imperial Technique" that monitor lizard bats do not like to move, and hang upside down in caves all year round, and only in spring and autumn will they leave the cave to forage for food in the seaside and forest.

If you calculate carefully, it is not spring and autumn now, and it is impossible for monitor lizard bats to come out to feed.

Moreover, even if the monitor lizard bats came out to feed, they would not form a group in groups, forming an orderly air team, descending from the sky and intercepting the Nangong family's flying boat, so there is only the second possibility recorded in the "Five Elements Ghost Spirits Imperial Technique"...

Legend has it that the monitor lizard bat and the spirit bat bird date back to ancient times, and they originally had the same root and the same origin, but later the growth environment of the two changed, and the monitor lizard bat grew bigger and bigger, and the longer it grew uglier, and its wisdom also degraded with the life in the cave.

The spirit bat bird is completely different, its physique is very small, the adult spirit bat bird is only the same size as the pigeon, the pocket it is completely different from the monitor lizard bat, the spirit bat bird has full wings, the whole body is black, it is the most difficult to find spirit animal that grows in the mountains and forests.

There is a special feature of the spirit bat birds, that is, before the night time, their feathers will emit colorful streamers, which is very easy to identify.

It is precisely for this reason that the living environment of the spirit bat bird is very harsh, because its blood can improve a person's cultivation qualifications, and it can be regarded as an extremely rare spirit bird in the world, because they mostly live on the wild herbs in the mountains, so the blood gradually has this characteristic.

Many cultivation sects have used the blood of the Spirit Bat Bird to improve the qualifications of their disciples, and since then, the number of Spirit Bat Birds has become more scarce, which has also caused them to be more expensive.

On the flying boat of the Nangong family, there was an iron cage in which a pair of listless and pitch-black spirit birds were raised, at first Ye Tian thought it was just an ordinary spirit beast, but at this time, he found that the feet of the two black spirit birds were full of bandaged wounds.

As expected, these two black spirit birds are probably the same spirit bat birds as the monitor lizard bat.

Because the bat bird has an ability, they can communicate with the monitor lizard bat, and the monitor lizard bat is instinctively afraid of the bat bird, and will obey all the instructions of the bat bird.

It's just that the two spirit bat birds on the flying boat, a rolled up talisman seal in the mouth of the capital, don't look at the lines on it, Ye Tian knows that it is a lost talisman. That is, the two spirit bat birds are unable to make sounds.

So who instructed the hundreds of monitor lizard bats that suddenly flew in the sky?

Ye Tian couldn't think clearly, so he could only find a safe place to wait and see what happened, because on the minions of those monitor lizard bats in the sky, they were grasping stones of different sizes, among which the big ones were thousands of catties of boulders, and the small ones were also hundreds of catties.

Those stones are flying down with the falling monitor lizard bat at this moment, and the stones, large and small, completely cover the entire flying boat of the Nangong family.

Hundreds of stones roared down, breaking the air "hoo, hoo", and even some stones because of the friction of falling from a high altitude, generating huge heat, and finally exploded above the flying boat, turning into fiery small stones, scattered at a faster speed.

"Open the barrier!"

On the flying boat, an elder stared gloomily at the falling stones in the sky, and his whole face turned iron-blue.

This person was none other than the elder of the Nangong family who had chased and killed Ye Tian and used the Void Trace Sword before, and when he saw that he had not yet opened the formation of the flying boat, he rose into the air, and a small silver sword instantly appeared in front of him.

The Void Sword changed with his fingers, and with a tremor of "Weng", it instantly turned into eight silver swords, turned into eight streamers, crossed different trajectories, and rushed towards the boulders in the sky, which were about a thousand catties.

Rumble!

One of the small silver swords, as soon as it touched the boulder, exploded instantly, and the exploded boulder turned into a piece of rubble that emitted firelight, and fell towards the flying boat at a faster speed.

This was followed by a second silver sword, a third... When the eight small swords that the Void Sword instantly turned into smashed into nine boulders, revealing the silver small sword of the Void Trace Sword's body, the speed instantly slowed down a lot, and finally returned to the elder's hands.

At this time, his face was slightly pale, and it was obvious that the blow just now had consumed a lot of spiritual power.

"Senior brother, if you continue like this, you and I will exhaust all our spiritual power, and the formation barrier on the flying boat is impossible to resist so many falling rocks. "On the flying boat, the elder who held the Cloud Thunder Sword directly transmitted the message to the elder holding the Void Sword outside the barrier.

"So what? The head of the family has an order, if you can't transport these spirit beasts back, I'm afraid you and I will be punished. Looking at the Void Sword, the elder outside the barrier let out a long sigh.

At this time, the boulder had already fallen on top of the Flying Boat's barrier.

The speed of the huge flying boat suddenly slowed down a lot, and because the barrier was hit by falling rocks, the originally stable body of the boat immediately became swaying from side to side, and the boulders fell one by one, and the white barrier on the flying boat flickered, obviously possibly breaking at any time.

The disciples of the Nangong family on the flying boat immediately took out their magic weapons and stared at the stones falling in the sky.

The spirit beasts trapped on the flying boat had become frantic at this moment, screaming again and again, and some of them were attacking the surrounding iron cages with their hardest parts.

However, their attacks are always useless, because those iron cages are all made of dark iron, and there are many runes engraved on them, which are clearly runes that suppress the spiritual power of spirit beasts, that is, as long as they are locked inside, spirit beasts will not need anything else except their innate physical strength.

Even though those iron cages were swayed from side to side by the impact of the spirit beasts inside, and even some of them moved their positions, the entire iron cage was still as stable as ever.

However, most of the spirit beasts that were locked in the iron cage did not have the nature to open their minds and escape for their lives, so they felt that this was useful, so they insisted on hitting the iron cage.

The stones in the sky fell faster and more densely, and the barrier of enchantment around the flying boat was quickly smashed out of a hole by a thousand-pound boulder, and smashed directly on the flying boat.

There happened to be an unlucky disciple of the Nangong family, who happened to be in the position where the boulder fell, when he found that the shadow above his head was getting bigger, he hurriedly sacrificed his flying sword, but the flying sword had just pierced half deep into the boulder, and the hilt had already fallen and pierced his chest.

Before the unlucky disciple could let out a scream, a thousand catties of boulders had already pressed him against the deck of the flying boat, leaving a deep pit on the deck of the flying boat.

The light mask on the flying boat quickly flickered a few times.

Standing on the deck, the elder with the Cloud Thunder Sword floating in front of him, his fingers changed rapidly, and the Cloud Thunder Sword made a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, and the sword carried a thunderbolt on its body, and flew out directly from the hole that was smashed open.

At the same time, he took out sixteen high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag with a painful face, threw them at the disciples of the Nangong family who guarded every spirit beast on the deck, and said coldly: "Quickly put these spirit stones in the formation of the barrier, and if there is any mistake, use your lives and the flying boat to accompany the burial." ”

"Yes!"

Before the sixteen Nangong Family disciples could finish his words, they immediately separated in sixteen directions, and in the blink of an eye, they had already walked below the deck.

After a while, the hole in the barrier above the flying boat began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just that hundreds of stones are too many, and the flying boat has stagnated at the moment because the barrier of the barrier has resisted the power of the falling boulder, and the formation spirit stone on the flying boat can only maintain the enchantment of the flying boat now, and ensure that the flying boat will not fall into the dense deep forest.

The boulders that had landed on the barrier of the Flying Boat Barrier had already fallen hundreds of meters to the ground at this moment, and they immediately leveled a forest below, forming a lake of different sizes that were connected to each other.

The stones were still falling at a height of thousands of meters, and the monitor lizard bats were divided into two groups as if organized, and each went around to look for stones to carry them to the high altitude.

And above the heads of one of the monitor lizard bats, the Cloud Thunder Sword silently appeared in the clouds, and the surrounding white clouds instantly converged towards the Cloud Thunder Sword, and in the blink of an eye, a continuous cloud had formed.

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, a cry rang out, and although the sound was small, all the monitor lizard bats instantly scattered around like slaves under orders.

On the deck of the flying boat, the face of the elder who controlled the cloud thunder sword became a little ugly, he didn't wait for all the dark clouds to gather together, the power of thunder and lightning had not yet reached its peak, and the finger in his hand slashed down from above.

The cloud thunder sword suspended in the dark clouds fell from the sky at the same time, and small thunderbolts followed it from the sky, and those monitor lizard bats that could not avoid it were instantly contaminated by the thunder and lightning, and dozens of monitor lizard bats that were close to it turned into a piece of coke and fell down in an instant.

As for those monitor lizard bats that were a little farther away, because the Cloud Thunder Sword only exerted less than half of its power, it only paralyzed their bodies in the end, and they fell less than a few hundred meters, and then all flew into the air.

At this time, the barrier on the flying boat could no longer support it, and as the falling boulder completely shattered into spiritual power, it escaped into the air.

The Void Sword "Buzzed" and turned into eight small silver swords, rushing towards the stones falling from the sky on the flying boat, and the disciples of the Nangong family sacrificed magic weapons one after another to protect the main parts of the flying boat from damage.

It's just that there are too many rocks, and the number of monitor lizard bats is too huge.

The moment the barrier above the flying boat disappeared, dozens of monitor lizard bats in the sky suddenly folded their wings and swooped down directly towards the flying boat, targeting the pair of spirit bats trapped in the cage on the flying boat.
