Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 118: Long-Distance Warfare (Monkey Version)

Although the poison has been removed, the fibrosis of the heart muscles caused by the incision, coupled with the consumption of blood and qi to heal the wound, has left Su Xiao in a bad state.

However, she is not worried at all. After all, the man beside her is capable of covering the distance of an hour's journey for the Myriad Saints Alliance in a short amount of time!

In other words, even if they can't win, they can still escape!

"What should we do now, fight or not?" Su Xiao asked.

"We definitely have to fight!" Yang Ning said calmly. "After all, the map is so big, but there aren't many people participating in the trial. It's rare to have so many Purple Heart Stones delivered to us!"

"But they should also have Spirit Weapons in their hands. Are we their match?" Su Xiao asked. "Shouldn't we avoid direct confrontation and wait for the right moment?"

"It doesn't matter!" Yang Ning smiled. "Your Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet is composed of 32 parts, and one is stronger than 32. There are only 16 enemies, I can handle it!"

"Yes, really?" Su Xiao blinked her eyes. But the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet is a Spirit Weapon that can only be perfectly used by the Divine Ability Realm's Snow Jade Glass Body. Can you really use it?

But since he said so, Su Xiao could only choose to believe.

Worst case scenario, they can just run!

"Moreover, there are many ways to fight. We don't necessarily have to confront them head-on!" Yang Ning led Su Xiao to the entrance of the ruins and pointed to the sky.

The pitch-black vulture was circling above them.

"Watch me show you some moves!" Yang Ning smiled.

"Show moves? What's that?" Su Xiao blinked her eyes and understood the next second.

She saw Yang Ning pick up a piece of Snow Soul Crystal and throw it into the air. The Snow Soul Crystal flew far away in the air, and just as it was about to fall under the influence of gravity, it suddenly rose against the wind, turning into a white line.

The vulture was also an intelligent species. Seeing something coming towards it, it immediately wanted to escape. Its flying speed was also very fast, reaching 320 meters per second.

But the speed of the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet was 240m/s!

The material of the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet is not metal, but ice marrow. It is not conductive, so it cannot increase its speed by adding lightning. To accelerate, one must advance to the Qi Refining stage and input mana.

But for some reason, when the Spirit Weapon came flying towards the vulture, it suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, it was pierced through by the Snow Soul Crystal like a blade, and the power of frost froze half of the vulture's wing. The vulture instantly lost its balance and spiraled down!

"So amazing!" Su Xiao's eyes lit up. The precision, the speed, and that first move, it was so cool!

It's not strange to be able to operate a Spirit Weapon, but everyone releases their Spirit Weapon from their hands or the ground in a proper manner. Who would have thought of such a cool way to activate it, throwing it out first and then moving?

"How about it, impressive or not?" Yang Ning asked.

"Very impressive!" Su Xiao gave a thumbs up. "I'm dazzled!"

"It's not that impressive. It's just one piece!" Yang Ning waved his hand and said, "I'll pick up that vulture later."

Huh? That vulture?

A BGM automatically played in their ears:

I was sentenced to a lifetime of loneliness by love

Not fighting back, not letting go!!

The vulture is a type of eagle with a white head, belly, and feet, and black wings. It is related to the white-headed eagle with a white head and tail, but their appearances are quite different.

The vulture that Yang Ning caught is 1.4 meters tall, with a wingspan of nearly 2 meters.

On Earth, an eagle of this size would definitely be an adult eagle, but in the Extreme Eternal World, it is still a young eagle in its infancy.

"What's wrong, not satisfied?" Yang Ning asked with a smile.

"Ying! I was ambushed!" The vulture extended its wings and wanted to peck at Yang Ning, but Yang Ning was quick and grabbed its sharp beak, lifting it up.

The eagle struggled desperately, but was instantly subdued by the electric current that suddenly surged from Yang Ning's hand, causing it to calm down.

"Look, I caught something. We have dinner sorted for today!" Yang Ning brought the eagle to Su Xiao's side, and Su Xiao's face immediately lit up. She said, "I know many ways to cook eagles. I'll take care of it!"

"Ying ying ying!" The once proud and arrogant eagle became anxious. Even if you don't interrogate me, you should at least offer some conditions or give me some food to win me over. After all, I am a precious Spirit Beast and highly valued in the Myriad Saints Alliance!

"What? You want to set conditions? Do you want to be stewed or grilled?" Yang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I think grilling is better. After all, it's the perfect match for this weather, along with beer!"

"Ying ying ying!" The eagle immediately struggled and flapped its wings. I didn't set any conditions, don't misinterpret me!

"What? You want to be boiled?" Yang Ning asked again.

The eagle desperately shook its head. No, I didn't say that, he's slandering me!

"Pfft!" Su Xiao couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth. "I guess he's saying that he doesn't want to die and is willing to follow us."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The eagle immediately nodded. Although it was initially stubborn, being alive was still better than being cooked!

It's not a human, so it doesn't have a sense of betrayal!

"Is that what it means?" Yang Ning looked confused. "It's an eagle from the Myriad Saints Alliance, are you sure you didn't mistranslate?"

"We've been in conflict with the Myriad Saints Alliance for so many years, so we naturally know their language!" Su Xiao laughed. "I'm sure it's correct!"

"So, you're willing to follow us?" Yang Ning looked at the eagle again.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The eagle nodded vigorously. Absolutely!

"Isn't that a bit spineless? I haven't even used any means yet, and you've already surrendered. What if you encounter a stronger enemy? Won't you betray me then?" Yang Ning asked.

"I was captured by those people. I have no emotional attachment to them!" The eagle chirped in bird language, and Su Xiao translated.

Once they reached the Ninth Layer of the physical body, humans and animals could communicate through spiritual manifestation, so there was nothing that Yang Ning couldn't understand. It didn't exist.

It was just a matter of singing along and capturing this eagle.

After all, even a piece of toilet paper had its uses, let alone an enlightened Spirit Beast.

Even if it didn't succeed, it didn't matter. It was just a test!

However, Yang Ning didn't expect that without consulting Su Xiao, she could perfectly cooperate with him.

"So you can rest assured that I won't betray you!" The eagle solemnly swore, "You must believe me. I am a Spirit Beast and I won't lie!"

"Okay then!" Yang Ning nodded. "I believe you. From now on, you are my Spirit Beast. By the way, what's your name?"

"Ying ying!"

"Xiaohei, right?" Yang Ning nodded. "Got it!"

"Who said I'm Xiaohei!" The eagle protested angrily. At the very least, I should be called Xiaobai!

But Yang Ning completely ignored its protests and asked, "What is your purpose for coming here? It can't be to participate in the trial, right?"

"Ying ying ying." It had gained intelligence, but it was still far from being human, so it didn't know much.

"I see." Yang Ning shook his head. "They have 16 people, and we only have two. Now, with you, we can barely count as two and a half. So your mission is very important. You should be fully recovered by now. I'll give you a Spirit Weapon. Fly in the sky with it. It can help us gather information about the disciples of the Myriad Saints Alliance below!"

Yang Ning took out a white jade-colored, round bead that looked very high-level and handed it to the eagle. He solemnly instructed, "Fly higher. Remember, this bead is extremely important and must not fall into the hands of the enemy!"

The eagle was stunned. Let me go?

Then it excitedly nodded, "I understand!"

"Good!" Yang Ning nodded. "Everything is up to you now. We'll wait for your return and then formulate a battle plan. If we can defeat 16 people with just two and a half, it will surely shock the entire Extreme Eternal World. You will be the greatest hero then!"

"Yes, yes!" The eagle grabbed the bead. "Should I leave now?"

"Yes, go for it!"

"Yes, yes!" The eagle flapped its wings excitedly and instantly left the ruins.

After flying far away, the sharp cry of the horned eagle sounded again.

"It's scolding you!" Su Xiao laughed.

Yang Ning smiled, "Let it scold, why bother with a dead eagle!"

However, he didn't expect that the Spirit Beast in the Extreme Eternal World would have such high intelligence.

Not to mention the cranes in the Extreme Eternal Sect being able to communicate normally with humans, but even a horned eagle understood the principle of lying low and biding its time!

But then, the horned eagle accelerated with all its might and arrived at its master's side in less than a minute.

"You're back!" The disciple excitedly reached out his hand, caught the horned eagle, and asked, "I saw you being knocked down just now, it scared me!"

He then looked at what was under the horned eagle's feet and asked, "What is this?"

"I wasn't knocked down, I went down myself. This is that person's Spirit Weapon, and I snatched it back!" The horned eagle proudly raised its head, handed over the bead, and sought credit. "I wasn't captured, how could I be captured? I went down on my own!"

"Spirit Weapon?" His master was taken aback and picked up the bead.

The disciples nearby also gathered around, curiously examining the bead.

Judging from its appearance, this bead did indeed resemble a Spirit Weapon, but there was not a trace of rune formations on it. Could it be some special kind of Spirit Weapon?

"This bead looks like a Dragon Ball!"

"Who would be foolish enough to turn a Dragon Ball into a Spirit Weapon?"

"Let me see!"

"Hey hey hey, don't touch!" The horned eagle's master immediately stopped the hand reaching out. "This was brought back by Ye, it's my thing!"

As he spoke, he proudly caressed the bead, feeling its icy touch.

Compared to Mortal Weapons forged on a forging table, the objects refined by Yang Ning did indeed resemble Spirit Weapons. In fact, their appearance and feel seemed even more exquisite than Spirit Weapons.

However...

"There seems to be something buzzing inside this thing!" someone suddenly said.

This lineage had a special training method for their five senses, which resulted in their hearing being particularly strong.

"What buzzing?" The horned eagle's master raised the bead and pressed it against his ear, then...

"It really is buzzing, and this sound..."

"What sound?"

The horned eagle's master furrowed his brow and pondered. The sound seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

It wasn't until the bead in his hand suddenly shook violently, accompanied by surging flames, intense vibrations, roaring, and shockwaves, that the bead exploded!

"Ah!" He screamed in agony, finally realizing what that sound was.

Wasn't it the sizzling sound emitted when an explosive talisman was activated?

It's just that this sound seemed somewhat distorted in the enclosed space.

But at this moment, he no longer had the consciousness to think about these things!

"What is this?"

"Sky Thunder Child?"

After the explosion, a group of people looked blankly at the huge pit in the center of the crowd, which had a diameter of four to five meters.

There were also scattered bodies and feathers all over the pit.

Three people died on the spot, six were seriously injured, their bodies were crisscrossed with scratches and burn marks.

Seven others, standing far away and shielded by teammates in front, were only shaken but not seriously harmed.

However, there were originally 16 people who came, full of confidence and a sense of invincibility, but now nine of them were wiped out without even seeing the enemy's face!

"Is this the trial?" someone said with a crying tone, looking confused.

"Why are you crying?!" someone next to them angrily said, "They were just a few useless people who died. This is the Taiyi Formation! It's a place where danger can strike at any moment. They dared to take what belonged to others, so they deserved to die!"

"But..."

"No buts. Pull yourself together. Our enemy is not simple!" the person continued, "His lover was poisoned and is probably dead by now. Instead of losing his sanity, he was able to set up this trap with the help of the Angle Eagle. It shows how calm and terrifying he is!"

"Now is not the time to cry. Don't think that just because we are from the Myriad Saints Alliance, we are invincible. The difference between sects is not that big in the Taiyi Formation!"

The internal competition within the Myriad Saints Alliance is fierce, and survival is precarious.

Being able to embark on the path of cultivation means enduring rigorous selection and experiencing numerous hardships.

The death of a few teammates did not shatter the morale of the team. Soon, one person stood up, arranging defenses and treating the wounded.

His name was Matwei, a disciple of the Black Blood lineage in the Physical Body Realm, with cultivation in the Divine Sea realm.

He was the happiest when his teammates died because their cultivation required the blood of others, and his teammates' blood was also blood!

He just had to restrain his smile and pretend to be sorrowful. Fortunately, because he was happy, he was the most rational among everyone present.

In no time, the six survivors had been bandaged. Even those with missing limbs had their arms and legs reattached.

There were no professional doctors in the team, so whether this makeshift treatment would result in perfect recovery depended on the control of the injured individuals' blood and energy.

Matwei looked at the feathers and an eagle leg on the ground. The Angle Eagle had also been blown up, so they lost their guide and didn't know where the enemy was.

Without the guidance of the Angle Eagle, it would be difficult for them to leave the desert.

It was so hot, and the city was so far away!

Of course, they could rely on celestial observations to leave at night, but it was still morning, and it would be at least five hours until nightfall!

So when Matwei understood the current situation, he regretted standing up.

This position was not easy to handle!

"Where should we go next?" someone asked.

"We should continue in the original direction. There is a ruin there!" Matwei said, "We need a shady place to wait for the wounded to recover!"

"But that person has occupied that place!" someone said.

"He's just one person, and we have thirteen!" Matwei calmly said, "If he had the strength, he wouldn't resort to such a conspiracy. So his strength is mediocre. Find him, attack together, and kill him!"

"Yes, um?" The person with sensitive hearing furrowed their brows, "What is this sound again?"

"What?" Matwei was taken aback, but soon, he also heard the strange sound.

Swoosh, buzz, it sounded like something was flying at high speed.

Matwei suddenly looked up and saw snowflake-shaped diamond blades flying at high speed from the direction of the ruins. Underneath the blades were hanging white jade beads, flying towards them!

"What, what is this?" Matwei was instantly bewildered!

I've never seen such an attack method in all my life!

It's been a bit too many days without sleep, my head is getting dizzy. I slept all day yesterday.

But I just checked my grades and suddenly got motivated again.

I'm going to sleep now, and when I wake up, I'll update. Today, I need to make up for yesterday, so it will be a 20,000-word chapter. Watch me perform.
