These fire crows have red eyes and are covered with flames. They fly at an incredibly fast speed and are difficult to hit with ordinary spells. Moreover, there is a powerful flame breath emanating from their bodies. They look very difficult to deal with.
Liang Yan used the power of the Vajra and missed a single punch. Before he could adjust his breath for a moment, dozens of fire crows rushed in front of him.
The goals of these fire crows were very clear. They ignored Liang Yan and the woman in black and rushed straight to the boat under which they were sitting.
"Protect the wooden boats!"
The woman in black gave a low shout and pinched her hands sharply. Palm-sized leaves appeared around the wooden boat, forming a mysterious barrier in an attempt to stop these fire crows.
Liang Yan's eyes flashed when he saw these leaves.
These leaves contain a strong spiritual power of Yimu, and they seem to be distributed around in no order, but in fact they coincide with a certain Taoist rhyme, and there is something mysterious about it.
"Wow!"
The leading fire crows rushed over, and when they encountered the leaves of the woman in black, they immediately spurted out blazing fire from their mouths, constantly corroding the surrounding barrier.
The woman in black cast spells to maintain the barrier while urging the boat to move forward faster.
"It's not good..."
Liang Yan observed from the sidelines and found that although the woman in black's spells were exquisite, these fire crows were also very difficult to deal with. The barrier could only block them for a while, and would be broken down soon.
Not to mention, there are thousands of fire crows in the distance, all flying towards this direction.
In a flash of thought, Liang Yan decided to take action.
He made a sword move with his right hand, and the Mayfly Sword Pill flew out from the Taixu Gourd, turning into a blue sword light and slashing at the nearest fire crows.
"Wow! Wow!"
There was a commotion in the air, and the fire crows sensed the appearance of the sword light, and each one of them became manic.
Wherever the sword light passed, dozens of fire crows were cut in half, seemingly defenseless.
But the next moment, the corpses of these fire crows that were cut in half actually grew again in mid-air, and the original one fire crow turned into two fire crows.
The Fire Crow reappeared, not only did his aura not weaken, but he became stronger and more manic!
They fought hard against the barrier of the woman in black, and their movements were extremely fast. The barrier, which was already somewhat loose, was knocked to the point of collapse, and even the boat began to shake.
"what happened?"
Liang Yan's face changed slightly when he saw this scene.
Any spell has its origin. These fire crows were cut in half. Even if they can be restored, the newly born fire crows should also become weaker. How come these ones in front of them are still stronger?
"You can't use sword cultivation methods!"
At this moment, the woman in black reminded: "You have forgotten, this is the trial road for the Lord of the Fire Department, and what is tested is the flame cultivation. If you use sword cultivation to deal with the assessment, it will inevitably cause backlash and make the assessment change."
It’s even more difficult.”
"I see........"
Liang Yan also woke up at this time.
Because he is a swordsman, his biggest reliance is the sword in his hand. He has never left his body with the sword for so many years. Whenever he encounters a problem, his first reaction is to use the sword to solve it.
However, it seems that the current situation cannot be solved with a sword.
"Use the spiritual beast on your shoulder! I have said that it is the most critical link in whether you can pass this trial road!"
The voice of the woman in black was a little urgent. It seemed that her barrier was unable to hold up in the face of the charge of these fire crows, and she had no energy left to say anything to Liang Yan.
After hearing this, Liang Yan glanced at Li Xiaosong beside him and found that she was much awake at this time, and the blush on her face had also dissipated.
"Xiaosong, it's up to you."
Li Xiaosong sat on his shoulder, eager to try. Hearing this, he said excitedly: "Don't worry, stinky-faced monster! It was you who stole the show in the past, this time it's my turn to show off my skills!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaosong rushed out from Liang Yan's shoulder.
She jumped into the air and gradually grew in size, transforming into a huge white civet cat, with faint golden flame lines looming on her forehead.
"Watch me suck!"
Li Xiaosong opened his bloody mouth, and a powerful force swept out, sucking the dozens of fire crows flying in the front into his mouth, and then devoured them with big mouthfuls.
"Oh, slow down!"
Liang Yan felt a little worried.
Just now she just swallowed a ray of fire power. This little girl seemed drunk. Now she has swallowed so many fire crows in one breath, so she should not cause any problems.
However, his worries seemed to be unnecessary.
Li Xiaosong ate dozens of fire crows in a row without any abnormality. On the contrary, he became more and more courageous as he fought, feeling like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
"Hahaha, look at Xiaosong, I'm showing off my power!"
Li Xiaosong was eager to kill, and with a fierce swing of his fat tail behind him, he swept up hundreds of fire crows.
These fire crows were caught in their tails and made a series of piercing screams. In order to retaliate, they continued to spray red flames from their mouths. Their breath was so powerful that it seemed to be able to burn everything.
However, even these terrifying flames fell on Li Xiaosong's fur without causing any damage.
There seemed to be light golden lines on the snow-white hair that flickered on and off. Every time the flame touched the fur, it was like touching a slippery ice cube, unable to ignite it at all.
"Come here you guys!"
Li Xiaosong laughed evilly, flicked her tail, and hundreds of fire crows were thrown into the air by her, and finally they all fell into her mouth.
She didn't even chew it, and just swallowed the dates wholeheartedly. She swallowed all the fire crows into her belly, and her originally snow-white fur was instantly stained with red.
"Xiaosong, don't eat too much!"
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but feel worried.
But now it's hard to get off the tiger. The fire crows in the sky are so dense and overwhelming! If Li Xiaosong is called back at this time, I'm afraid the wooden boat will be destroyed in an instant.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
There were dense strange screams in mid-air. At this moment, the large army of fire crows had arrived above the wooden boat, and groups of fire crows began to charge towards the two people's small wooden boat.
"Coming, be careful!"
Liang Yan couldn't help but remind him.
Li Xiaosong, however, still looked fearless. He was standing alone above the wooden boat, with fighting spirit in his eyes and no intention of retreating at all.
"Well done! Look at me standing alone against thousands of armies!"
Li Xiaosong shouted and took the initiative to greet him.
She sprayed five-color flames from her mouth, and the powerful power of the flames quickly suppressed the movement of the fire crows, burning some of the fire crows at the front into flying ashes.
At the same time, her two claws and fat tail are also weapons. Due to her special fur, her body is not afraid of flames at all. Every time she sweeps her tail or slaps her claws, she can kill more than ten animals.
Fire crow.
Although the scene was dominant, Liang Yan's face did not look good.
He keenly noticed that these fire crows seemed to be rushing in all directions, but in fact they coincided with the formation method. The fire crows that were eliminated at the beginning were sacrificed deliberately, but in fact they were to lure the enemy deeper and surround and kill them.
"Xiaosong, that's enough, take it back first!"
Liang Yan sent a message to Li Xiaosong, but Li Xiaosong was already furious and did not respond to his call immediately.
The more she fought, the more excited she became, running rampant among the fire crows, but she didn't notice that she had been surrounded by the fire crows unknowingly!
"You stupid cat!"
Liang Yan cursed loudly, and then raised his hand to cast a spell. Green light rushed out from his palm and turned into a big hand, trying to catch the white civet cat from the air.
However, just as his spiritual power shot up into the air, he was extinguished by swarms of fire crows, and these fire crows became even more powerful after devouring his magical power!
"Damn... these fire crows still know tactics?" Liang Yan said in surprise.
At this time, the woman in black who had been silent suddenly said: "Don't take action casually! Your magical powers are not flames. Once you get close, they will be swallowed up by them. Not only will it not be of any help to the spiritual beast, but it will also destroy the fire crow's body."
The power becomes stronger!"
After hearing the warning from the woman in black, Liang Yan's face turned gloomy.
Looking up, the situation had changed. The originally invincible white civet cat was now surrounded by groups of fire crows.
Although her claws and tail are powerful, these fire crows are also very cunning. They use a few fire crows as bait every time. When she launches an attack, some of the fire crows will circle behind her and aim at her neck.
Launch a charge.
The soft flesh at the neck was the only weak spot on Li Xiaosong's body. This place had the weakest defense. It was attacked by hundreds of fire crows at the same time, and blood marks soon appeared.
After several rounds of fighting, Li Xiaosong's injuries gradually worsened, his aura began to weaken, and even his movements were not as agile as they were at the beginning.
Forced by the situation, this "unruly" civet cat finally put away his madness and began to defend passively, hoping for an opportunity to escape from the crows.
However, there were thousands of fire crows in the air, and their actions were coordinated very well. They surrounded Li Xiaosong tightly and gave her no chance to escape!
To describe it in one word, it is "catching a turtle in a urn"!
"Oh my god...I'm so careless!"
Li Xiaosong murmured, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
Being a strong-willed person, she was too embarrassed to ask Liang Yan for help at this time, so she could only force herself to hold on.
However, Liang Yan's heart was already burning with anger.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean? You let my spirit beast take the initiative to attack, but you told me that there was no way to help. According to what you said, don't you want my spirit beast to die in vain?"
Although the voice of the question was not loud, the tone was very gloomy. Obviously, Liang Yan had suppressed his anger. If the woman in black's answer did not satisfy him, he would probably fall out at the next moment.
After hearing this, the woman in black did not answer immediately.
She paused at the bow of the boat for a moment, then sighed softly, took out an emerald green bamboo flute from her sleeve, put it to her mouth and started playing.
The melodious sound of the flute floated from the bow to the stern, and then into the air.
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
He did not speak, but stood at the stern of the boat and listened attentively.
The sound of the flute is as gentle as water, like a whisper in a quiet night. Being in the music is like being on a quiet night, with gentle mountain breeze and bright moon shining high. Everything is so quiet and peaceful.
There seems to be a strange rhythm in the dark, which coincides with the sound of the great road and stirs up the spiritual power in the body.
"This is......."
Liang Yan was intoxicated for a long time, then suddenly realized what he was doing and looked up into the air.
I saw that the battle situation had changed again. At this time, Li Xiaosong showed off his might, each punch and kick carried powerful fire power, and he even spit out five-color flames from his mouth, killing the fire crows that surrounded him and routing them to pieces.
At this moment, Liang Yan already understood that the sound of the woman in black's flute could inspire others' fighting potential!
Li Xiaosong's current state has already exceeded her limit! Originally, the fire crows could suppress her through formations, but after the influence of the flute, Li Xiaosong's combat power was greatly improved, and she was able to completely crush the fire crows.
, the battle situation presented a one-sided massacre!
"Hahaha! Enjoyable!"
Li Xiaosong regained his confidence at this time, rampaged through the air, and soon wiped out hundreds of fire crows.
Liang Yan no longer worried about the battle situation over there, but turned his attention to the woman in black on the bow of the ship, his eyes flashing slightly.
The identity of this person is by no means simple.
Her control over the art of rhythm is so wonderful that even though she had no reaction to the same piece of music, Li Xiaosong was able to exert full power when listening to it.
This shows that she can control the sound of her flute as she pleases and only affect the target she wants to affect.
Looking at the entire Antarctic Continent, there is probably only one place that can reach this level of musicality...
There were two people on the wooden boat, one was playing the bamboo flute, the other was listening attentively. There was also a snow-white civet cat in the air. With the help of the flute, it was killing all around and devouring the surrounding fire crows.
This weird scene lasted for half a stick of incense.
After half a stick of incense, thousands of fire crows were finally killed until not a single one was left.
Li Xiaosong ate to his full, and his snow-white belly expanded. He flew back from mid-air, sat on Liang Yan's shoulders, and burped with satisfaction.
Liang Yan touched Li Xiaosong's back and looked at the woman in black opposite.
The woman had already put away her bamboo flute and was sitting quietly on the bow of the boat, silent.
After a while, Liang Yan took the lead to break the silence and said calmly: "It turns out that I am a fellow Taoist from Yuzhu Mountain. I am glad to meet you."
After hearing this, the woman in black sighed softly.
"I didn't want to use my magical power. I didn't expect that the test on this trial road would be so difficult. If I don't take action, my Taoist friends will doubt me, but if I do, my identity will be exposed."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for saving my spirit beast's life. I am deeply grateful!" Liang Yan said with a sincere face.
He knew that if the woman in black had not taken action just now, Li Xiaosong would have been seriously injured even if he had not died, and the price of the other party's action would be to reveal his identity.
Therefore, his gratitude to the woman in black was sincere.
However, Liang Yan was still a little confused, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "I heard that Yuzhu Mountain and Wuzhuang Mountain have a good relationship. Although the two major forces are not far apart, there has been no conflict for so many years. Why do fellow Taoists want to
Sneak into this place?"
After hearing this, the woman in black was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"There are many things in this world. If you don't experience them yourself, you will always see only the appearance..."
