Chapter 324 : Chapter 324 : What is a Bird Gun?
Lin Zhen had been here for a while now.
He was initially a little frustrated, as he had lost the race against Xiao Nuan this time. Xiao Nuan’s speed seemed to have no limit, to the extent that a Galaxy Beast that could traverse the galaxies could not be deduced by common sense.
However, Lin Zhen’s attention soon shifted to the situation in the Ice City.
Because he was on the outskirts, he saw ten thousand of the Gods Clan’s flying vessels.
Lin Zhen immediately inferred the God’s Clan’s intentions. They had a heavy military presence here but didn’t go to rescue the crisis in the Ice City. What did they want to do?
Their intentions were obvious – they were most certainly planning to deal with those in the Ice City who did not obey the Gods Clan.
The situation of the Gods Clan had been deteriorating lately, so these ten thousand flying vessels were undoubtedly its foundation. Lin Zhen immediately thought of attacking this troop.
Eliminating these guys would practically cause the Gods Clan to collapse, at least taking away their ability to dictate other countries and regions in the world.
Lin Zhen, with Xiao Nuan by his side, stopped and prepared to slowly approach this flying vessel formation.
However, while on the road, he felt that Xiao Nuan seemed very different.
Ever since Xiao Nuan devoured the quasi-SSS class demonic dragon corpse, its body had grown significantly, and its aura had become more majestic. Along the way, whenever they passed by an area populated by Mutated Beasts, those beasts would bow their heads in submission, daring not to approach Xiao
Nuan.
Xiao Nuan, too, strutted proudly above the Mutated Beast horde as if they were an army of ants.
“Could it be…?”
Lin Zhen had a thought in his heart; perhaps after Xiao Nuan’s promotion, it had gained the aura of high-level Mutated Beasts, causing these low-level Mutated Beasts to automatically submit.
If that was the case, then solving the Mutated Beast siege on Ice City would be much easier.Thus, he was able to reach the Gods Clan army without any hindrance until they started advancing toward Ice City.
The peripheral groups of Mutated birds launched their attacks on the Gods Clan’s army, only to be bombed into disarray by their flying vessels.
Although these flying vessels weren’t enough to clear out the Mutated Beasts, they were more than capable of breaching Ice City.
“We absolutely cannot let them enter Ice City!”
“Not only must we prevent them from entering Ice City, but we must also come up with a way to make people disappointed in the Gods Clan once again. The videos of the Gods Clan bombing Mutated Beasts will surely be broadcasted worldwide. This is their way of winning people over; I must sabotage it for them.”
Lin Zhen had an idea in his mind. He raised his hand and attracted a huge golden eagle from the group of Mutated birds towards him.
This golden eagle had reached the edge of the nearly SS-level Realm, practically making it the king amongst Mutated birds, an overlord of the skies.
However, in front of Lin Zhen now, who had gained Star Power, the golden eagle had no strength to resist. It was practically directly dragged into Lin Zhen’s grasp and easily crushed to death.
After killing the golden eagle, Lin Zhen attached its enormous wings to the Lightning Wings. Lin Zhen had constantly nurtured the Lightning Wings, making each wing five meters long. After attaching the eagle’s wings, there were no noticeable flaws.
Disemboweling the eagle and putting a layer of its skin on himself, no one would notice that the insides of this eagle were actually a human unless they looked closely.
Only Xiao Nuan, frolicking around Lin Zhen’s side, could recognize him even if he turned into ashes, as their bloodlines were connected.
Lin Zhen called Xiao Nuan to his side and whispered something to it; Xiao Nuan seemed to understand.
“Go, it’s your turn to contribute this time. As long as this is accomplished, I’ll find you a female dog…um, you might not like dogs, though.”
Xiao Nuan cheerfully left and, within a short time, gathered a large flock of Mutated birds.
Crows, sparrows, swallows, wild ducks, swans, red-crowned cranes, eagles… of course, these birds now had no practical benefits left; they were all man-eating monsters numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Lin Zhen slightly circulated his Star Power, letting the Flame Power inside the Dark Star emerge, as there was a hint of Xiao Nuan’s aura within it.
Upon sensing Lin Zhen’s aura, the mutated birds did not attack but instead circled around him with reverence, as if the massive golden eagle was their king.
When the Gods Clan’s flying vessels reached a place about twenty miles from Ice City, Lin Zhen took action.
At this distance, the people in Ice City would be able to see the battle in the distant sky but not clearly.
Lin Zhen gave instructions to Xiao Nuan: “Attack!”
Xiao Nuan leaped into the air and let out a thunderous roar!
This was the first time Lin Zhen had heard Xiao Nuan roar loudly. The sound was powerful and resonated in the skies!
This was a battle command issued by the Beast King, and the target was the Gods Clan’s flying vessels!
Lin Zhen and the group of mutated birds beside him were the first vanguard troops, soaring through the sky as they headed straight for the God Army!
Lin Zhen flapped his Lightning Wings, looking like a giant golden eagle mixed among the mutated birds, charging towards the Gods Clan’s aircraft, ready to give them a huge, nasty surprise.
Allen’s forces were initially only a minute away from Ice City, but they didn’t expect to encounter a crazy counterattack from the mutated beasts here.
Allen calmly issued battle commands, “Attention everyone, there is a large group of mutated birds ahead, probably preparing to attack Ice City. They have been attracted to us. There are roughly three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand of them. Immediately cover with firepower, don’t skimp on ammunition. Once we eliminate this wave, we can enter the city.”
Upon receiving Allen’s command, the front row of aircraft immediately set up their machine guns and began shooting madly at the mutated bird swarm.
As the deafening sound of gunfire rang out, people in Ice City could see the battle in the distance without even watching the live broadcast.
Shen Lixing called out, “See! That’s our Gods Clan reinforcements. They are so loyal and devoted. Even after the whole city withdrew from the Gods Clan, they still came to rescue you. If you don’t feel grateful, then you’re worse than pigs and dogs!”
Looking at the flames in the distant sky, some people in Ice City began to
waver.
After all, they couldn’t see any hope of breaking through and resolving their situation. If the Gods Clan could really save them from their dire circumstances, perhaps joining the Gods Clan wouldn’t be unacceptable. At least their lives would be secure.
An Ning grew anxious. Lin Zhen told her that he would be there soon, which was her greatest source of confidence. But now, Lin Zhen had not appeared, and the people of the Gods Clan had come first.
If the Gods Clan truly eliminated a large number of mutated beasts, it would be normal for the people of Ice City to waver once again. Out of trust in Lin Zhen and dislike towards the Gods Clan, An Ning snorted, “Can the Gods Clan definitely save Ice City from its crisis? I don’t think so.
Don’t get destroyed by mutated beasts halfway.”
Shen Lixing glanced at An Ning, “Miss An Ning, don’t be so stubborn. It’s only twenty miles away. Can’t those aircraft cross over? Rest assured, I guarantee you that within three minutes, the God Army will land here. However, by then, it will be tough for all of you people.”
Before Shen Lixing could finish, a ball of flame suddenly burst in the distant sky, and an aircraft crashed.
Seeing the happy expressions on An Ning and the others’ faces, Shen Lixing sneered, “Don’t be so childish. The Gods Clan has brought ten thousand aircraft. What’s the loss of one? How could there be no losses in war? How many people have we lost in Ice City till now?”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Three more fireballs exploded in the sky, causing Shen Lixing’s face to change, “I didn’t expect the mutated birds to be so aggressive. But this is nothing. A loss of four ten-thousandths, barely even the hair of a cow.””
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!”
One fireball after another, like fireworks, exploded in the sky, making Shen Lixing’s face increasingly ugly.
“What’s going on? How can the Gods Clan pilots be so inferior? With so many aircraft and concentrated fire, how could these mutated birds possibly break through? They’ve already lost more than thirty aircraft in such a short time. When Master Allen arrives, I must tell him about these incompetent pilots.”
However, the situation continued to deviate more and more from Shen Lixing’s expectations. One aircraft after another crashed, fireballs exploding one after another. In less than twenty seconds, the Gods Clan had lost over a hundred aircraft.
Not only he couldn’t understand it, but even Allen was anxious at the moment.
“Ninth Squadron! What are you guys messing with? Don’t tell me you hit each other. Mutated birds don’t have such abilities to take out a hundred aircraft in such a short time!”
There were a total of ten squadrons among the ten thousand aircraft, with one thousand aircraft in each squadron. It was the Ninth Squadron that had suffered heavy losses.
The leader of the Ninth Squadron was also a Star Realm Expert, and he anxiously replied to Allen’s words.
“Elder Allen, it’s not our problem. A golden eagle appeared in the mutated bird swarm. That golden eagle is too fast and actually controls the power of elements. My god, it’s coming again!”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Another seven or eight fireballs exploded. The sound made Allen feel irritated.
“Idiots! Are you guys pigs? Fire! Just keep firing! Even if the golden eagle is strong, it can only be a Quasi-SS Class mutated bird at most. If you can’t handle it as a whole squadron, you deserve to die.”
“Yes, my lord. We’ve been firing continuously, but we just can’t hit it. That golden eagle is too fast. It… it seems to be able to teleport.”
Upon hearing these words, Allen almost had his nose bent out of shape.
A bird that can teleport too?
This Ninth Squadron leader was blatantly treating him like a three-year-old child, just to shirk responsibility.
Grabbing the walkie-talkie, Allen roared, “Teleport your mom! If you keep talking nonsense, be careful…!”
“Ah! This golden eagle has a bird gun…!”
Before Allen could finish, the leader of the Ninth Squadron said something that almost choked him.
What was a bird gun? Did this bird know how to use a gun? Or was it the bird’s indescribable part?
Just as he was about to curse, a huge explosion sounded through the walkie-talkie, followed by a surge of chaotic radio waves.
The Ninth Squadron leader’s aircraft, piloted by the Star Realm Expert, was destroyed!
