1732 The Epic Battle in the Sky (1/2)

”It's the Mountain Crusher Ruler. It seems to be struggling in the Wind of Sorrow!” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed, pointing above them.
”How did that thing fly so fast while bringing so many Winged Patrol Beasts along? Aren't they a burden to it?” Bai Hongfei said with a confused look.
”Not only aren't the Winged Patrol Beasts a burden, they are actually easing its path!” Lingling pointed at the Winged Patrol Beasts sticking close to the Mountain Crusher Ruler. She added, ”Look, they aren't just circling the Mountain Crusher Ruler randomly. They are doing it in a specific pattern, including the timing and frequency of beating their wings, and the way they are altering their positions in the formation.”
”But the Wind of Sorrow is so strong! Shouldn't those low-level Winged Patrol Beasts be struggling against it?” Bai Hongfei asked.
”Are you familiar with migratory birds, like geese flying in a V-shaped formation? When they are flying in position, it will produce a special flow of air that reduces air resistance. Any goose will struggle to fly a great distance on their own, but if a bunch of geese are flying together, they will easily cover the distance when migrating. The same concept applies to the Winged Patrol Beasts circling the Mountain Crusher Ruler. They are producing a special flow of air to weaken the Wind of Sorrow and conserve their energy,” Lingling said.
”I see! No wonder it feels like we are having difficulty catching up!”
”The Wind of Sorrow must be stronger up there, so it has broken the formation that the Winged Patrol Beasts are flying in. The Mountain Crusher Ruler is now being affected by it!” Lingling said.
”We should use this opportunity to catch up to them!”
Little Moon Moth Phoenix took hold of the opportunity to reduce the distance between her and the winged beasts ahead. She used her wings perfectly, using the strong Wind of Sorrow as a force propelling her upwards.
The Mountain Crusher Ruler was spinning in circles at the same height, while Little Moon Moth Phoenix continued to soar into the sky. The Mountain Crusher Ruler was only inches away in no time. The proud and aloof creature let out an angry cry when it saw Little Moon Moth Phoenix about to overtake it.
An annoying shriek echoed in the clouds. The Winged Patrol Beasts that had been knocked out of their formation suddenly gave up on flying any higher. They began to dive at Little Moon Moth Phoenix like a bunch of vampiric bats!
The number of the Winged Patrol Beasts was more overwhelming than the humans had first imagined. They were like a huge gray cloud throwing out sonic waves. Their heads were on the verge of exploding from the noises.
”Help me with the defense, I'll kill them all!” Li Dexin grunted.
A defensive Maga immediately backed Li Dexin up. She cast a Water Spell to encapsulate both herself and Li Dexin, but the Wind of Sorrow was stronger than she had expected. The thin protection of the Water Spell collapsed in no time!
The female Maga was given a great fright. She told Li Dexin, ”General Li, hurry up, I can't hold on for any longer!”
Li Dexin ignored her warning. He cast an Earth Spell and tossed a bunch of huge rocks at the annoying Winged Patrol Beasts.
The Winged Patrol Beasts following the Mountain Crusher Ruler in the competition were not necessarily low-level creatures, either. Some of them were in the Commander-level, and their bodies were covered in some glittering gray substance. These Commander-level creatures immediately spread their wings to defend their leader when Li Dexin started attacking!
Li Dexin's spell was not effective. He proceeded to cast a Super Spell angrily.
One Water Star Constellation after another appeared. Li Dexin was not very quick at channeling the Star Palace. He finally completed it with the protection from the Maga.
”Catastrophe Wave!”
As Li Dexin shouted, the mist among the clouds turned into a curtain of water, which poured down like waves that eventually grew into a tsunami!
The Commander-level Winged Patrol Beasts had no chance of protecting the rest of their comrades this time, no matter how wide they were spreading their wings. The Catastrophe Wave delivered a deadly blow to them. Their wings were soaked as they were drowned by the water. They fell from the sky together with the tsunami!
The Catastrophe Wave was up in the sky, so it was unable to cover a great distance. However, Li Dexin was extremely pleased after eliminating a huge bunch of Winged Patrol Beasts with his spell.
The rest of the Commander-level creatures beat their wings and stared at the Catastrophe Wave as it fell with lingering fears. Meanwhile, the Mountain Crusher Ruler was glaring at Li Dexin from above the Catastrophe Wave.
The Mountain Crusher Ruler did not make its move. It still had many lackeys with it. Even if it was struggling to go any higher, it would not let Little Moon Moth Phoenix overtake it, either!
The Mountain Crusher Ruler extended its wings. A huge cloud of Winged Patrol Beasts spread throughout the sky. Their numbers were absolutely shocking as they soon filled the sky.
”How was it hiding so many of them under its wings? Holy crap, it's only half its initial size!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
