Chapter 462 - ADD
462 Paying Homage to the Phoenix
The rest of the soldiers replaced the quiver at the same time and fired again.
This time, they were unable to be as uniform as before, but the casualties caused by the birds were greater than before.
Because the distance was closer, the crossbow arrows were more powerful and accurate.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of explosions rang out in the sky, and countless ferocious birds were killed, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Suddenly, a musical chirping sound came from the sky.
“Chirp-”
This cry was different from the previous one.
The chirping earlier seemed to be a demonstration of its existence.
But now, this chirping sound was filled with majesty.
The attacking birds immediately froze. Their bloodline was suppressed, and even their souls were buried.
The flying beasts immediately gave up on attacking and flew into the sky.
At this time, Phoenix Qing Ying in the sky was burning with blazing flames and letting out a pleasant cry.
The countless birds seemed to have broken free from restraint and flew freely in the sky. Finally, they all gathered towards Phoenix Qing Ying and formed a giant vortex.
This change caused the sky to change drastically, and the scene was filled with shock.
Then, everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
A sea of ferocious birds began to dance around the Phoenix Qing Ying. It was a beautiful sight, as if they were cheering or worshipping it.
“What’s going on? These vicious birds are not attacking anymore and are even circling that Firebird. Could that Firebird be…”
“Paying Homage to the Phoenix! This is Paying Homage to the Phoenix! The Phoenix is the sovereign of all birds!”
Master Important was dumbstruck by this scene.
Shouldn’t this be the time for me to show off my skills? Instead, I haven’t even made a move, and this bird has stolen the limelight?
Master Important felt very uncomfortable. How much EXP would he get if he killed all these birds? How much attention would he receive? On the other hand, he could obtain a lot of power of belief. No matter how minute a task was, it could still be rewarding!
The stage to show off his strength was gone just like that?
Master Important felt depressed.
To the ferocious birds, as long as they were birds, they would have an irresistible power when facing the Phoenix.
Phoenix Qing Ying hadn’t released its bloodline suppression before, so these birds hadn’t felt it. But, after all, they were all birds that the evil power had eroded, and their intelligence had been affected to a certain extent.
But at this moment, the Phoenix’s cry awakened the reverence for the Emperor hidden in their bloodline.
Roar!
The Wind Pterosaur King in the distant void was not a bird in essence, but a dragon, so it would not be affected by the Phoenix bloodline.
Seeing that his command had been blocked and all the birds were under the control of the Phoenix, he immediately became furious and let out an angry roar.
This roar was sharp and evil, causing the ferocious birds that had just gathered around the Phoenix to become chaotic immediately.
Phoenix Qing Ying did not panic at all. Instead, after another soft cry, the flames on its body suddenly expanded and turned into a flame ripple that spread.
In an instant, all the birds enveloped by the flame ripples emitted a black aura. The evil energy that had invaded their bodies was instantly purified, and their intelligence was completely restored.
“Chirp-”
Countless chirps rang out, and the birds became even more agile. They flew around the Phoenix, and numerous strange auras flew out of their bodies, gathering toward the Phoenix Qing Ying.
The flames around the Phoenix’s body began to burn more intensely, turning from light red to gold-red at a breakneck speed.
“Swish-”
With another clear cry, a sea of Phoenix Golden Flame spread out, and all the birds around it were covered in a layer of golden flames.
The golden flames did not cause any harm to the birds. On the contrary, they were quickly absorbed by them.
As they absorbed more and more golden flames, the feathers on their bodies became more and more beautiful, and even their bodies began to change.
Some of the ferocious birds had shrunk in size, but their bones were like jade, their feathers were like blades, and their eyes were sharp. It was as if they had evolved, and their strength and grade had increased.
Some vicious birds were initially tiny, but their bodies expanded, becoming several times their original size. Even one grew golden feathers on its body, transforming into the legendary golden bird.
The golden bird, a dragon-fearer in ancient times, was so excited that its eyes glowed when it heard the Wind Pterosaur King’s roar. It would have rushed out immediately if it hadn’t absorbed all of the golden flames.
Far away in the City of Dawn, Li Xiang saw this scene, and a touch of relief flashed in his eyes.
Phoenix Qing Ying had finally grown. It turned out that if it wanted to grow, it needed the worship of hundreds of birds, not just by itself.
He had never thought of this, but he didn’t expect his enemy to help him.
However, the Wind Pterosaur King had also noticed the changes in the Phoenix and birds. So it roared and rushed over, trying to destroy them.
Li Xiang’s eyes turned cold. How could he watch the Phoenix’s opportunity be destroyed?
He raised the bow again and shot an arrow through the air, appearing right in front of the Wind Pterosaur King.
“Boom!”
The God’s Annihilating Bow was previously the Dragon Slaying Divine Bow, and it had a 300% Kill bonus to dragon-type creatures.
The arrow broke through the Wind Pterosaur King’s defence and went through its neck.
However, the Wind Pterosaur King was still mighty. After the arrow pierced its neck, black blood splattered. However, it didn’t kill the Wind Pterosaur King but only severely injured it.
The violent force sent him flying back hundreds of meters, and his body swayed. It took a while for him to recover. Then, black energy madly gathered on his neck, healing the wound.
Li Xiang did not continue to attack. With the Phoenix’s pride, if he interfered too much, it would only make the Phoenix unhappy. Therefore, he left this opponent to the Phoenix Qing Ying in case she would come back and bug him.
“Chirp-”
Phoenix Qing Ying naturally saw the Wind Pterosaur King’s movements. It was a little anxious at first, but it suddenly calmed down, especially when it saw that Li Xiang’s arrow did not kill the enemy. It only forced the enemy to retreat. Its eyes were filled with joy, and the golden phoenix flame on its body became more robust.
Although they were hovering a thousand meters above the ground, the heat emitted by the golden flames on the Phoenix’s body still filled the entire area, covering a radius of over a hundred miles.
As the Phoenix’s cry fell, the Golden flames on Phoenix Qing Ying’s body completely stabilized. Its body moved, turning into a golden-red stream of light, flashing and disappearing, and arrived on the Wind Pterosaur King’s body.
The claw left a terrible wound on the Wind Pterosaur King’s body. The golden-red flames burned on it, worsening the injury.
