The spell managed to resolve the danger the group was in. Zhao Manyan Summoned another wave and sent them closer to the island.
Jiang Shaoxu used her Psychic Element to stop the harassment from another group of Manta Ray Evil Birds in the sky. They finally made it ashore!
Mo Fan explained why he had left on his own. “It’s unwise to be blindly righteous sometimes. If I don’t save myself first, we were all done for!”
“It’s fine, I’m going to say the same thing to you when you need my protection,” Zhao Manyan said in return.
“Ugh, if revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it?” Mo Fan could not find a better response.
“Enough chatting, do you think we are safe after making it to the island? Take a look around you! Do those creatures look like they are going to spare our lives?” Jiang Shaoxu pointed at the sea.
Mo Fan’s Electro Cannon had been extremely effective. Not only did it kill a lot of Manta Ray Evil Birds, it had also resolved the dangerous situation. However, it had infuriated the remaining Manta Ray Evil Birds. Those who were not caught by the Electro Cannon soared into the sky from the water and came right at them.
The creatures pursuing them relentlessly were not the scariest. When Mo Fan and the others looked deeper into the island, they noticed countless pairs of sapphire eyes appearing from the woods.
“Those we saw weren’t all of them?” Zhao Manyan was about to go crazy.
Did these creatures have nothing better to do other than mate? How did they possibly give birth to so many offspring in just a few years? Was the Featherless Bird Emperor’s name Xu Fu instead?
{TL Note: A reference to a Chinese alchemist and explorer. He was sent by Qin Shi Huang to look for the elixir of life, but he ended up running away with 500 men and women and was said to have settled down in Japan.}
“These must be the Greater Featherless Birds. Their bodies are dark red!” Chen Shuo noticed.
Their sapphire eyes were brighter than the eyes of the Manta Ray Evil Birds, and their wings were around eight meters long when fully extended. Their smooth, dark red skin had the sheen of an icy metallic surface, not to mention their pointy heads and jagged wings. They looked far nobler and stronger than the Manta Ray Evil Birds!
“We are truly being surrounded now,” Jiang Shaoxu pointed out.
“Plans are always f**king lies!” Zhao Manyan grumbled.
Their plan was to put the Manta Ray Evil Birds into hibernation so they could strut through the island, take care of the Greater Featherless Birds, and accomplish their mission. The reality was, the mission’s difficulty was more than a level harder than they had expected. It was like they had accidentally chosen Hell Mode when they picked the dungeon. The numbers of the Manta Ray Evil Birds were unreasonably high.
It was not like they had never fought so many demon creatures at once, but these Manta Ray Evil Birds were surprisingly strong. Even Mo Fan’s Electro Cannon could only kill a limited number of them!
