Chapter 949: Chapter 80: The Mysterious Little Girl_3
Fortunately, at this mont, two Xuan Birds appeared in the sky.
As the strongest beasts among flying creatures, these giant bats were rely elite-grade organisms. How could they compare to the Xuan Birds?
Cold blue flas pierced through the dark clouds, and the phoenix-like cry of the Xuan Birds reverberated across the skies.
[“Gah, turns out I can transform into a phoenix too. Too bad Duck Two died too early and didn’t get to see my dashing self like this.”]
Flying behind the Xuan Birds, Duck sighed wistfully.
If Duck Two were still alive and saw his current majestic form, wouldn’t “Licking Duck”* have made a coback?
The Xuan Birds paid no attention to this chaotic entity that had long been tricked and hobbled.
Li Xiaoyu had anticipated that the enemy might attack from the air. Without Tang Feiji, aerial defense could only depend on the Xuan Birds.
One Xuan Bird wasn’t enough, but fortunately, they had another universal counter.
And that was Duck—the chaotic entity who believed himself to be Sword Feather Duck, but was actually a shape-shifting being of boundless power.
Black giant bats scorched into nothing but bones kept falling from the sky. At last, the surprise air raid was successfully fended off.
However, what shocked everyone was that while the enemies in the sky were repelled, the ones underground could not be stopped.
In the Myriad Beasts Realm, there were many creatures adept at burrowing through the earth, such as Earth Vein Dragons. Massive in size yet powerful in destructive force, they could move freely through solid rock.
Dozens of Earth Vein Dragons burst out of the ground, erging directly in the center of Baichuan City.
The once-safe Baichuan City fell in an instant.
Most fatal of all, the tunnels excavated by the Earth Vein Dragons allowed Judgnt Knights to flood in as well.
The heroes stationed as guardians across the city’s borders had no ti to attend to Baichuan City itself.
Countless people scread in panic and fled in all directions.
The millions of inhabitants of Baichuan City were plunged into chaos and despair. For a ti, the city resounded with relentless cries of anguish, devolving into utter bedlam.
People were desperate to escape but didn’t know where they could run. Outside lood hordes of beasts and chanical armies, and inside, death seed imminent at every turn.
This dire predicant left every soul feeling the breath of doomsday upon their backs.
Like ants scalded in a boiling pot, even if they couldn’t climb out, they wouldn’t cease to struggle. No one willingly surrenders to fate.
Everyone was fleeing—even Zhang.
Having been alone for so long, he had finally stumbled upon an adorable little girl and resolved to spend the rest of his days nurturing her.
But now, faced with such imnse calamity, with Baichuan City on the verge of annihilation, this impoverished old hunter knew he likely wouldn’t survive.
Yet, who doesn’t want to live? Even in his final monts, Zhang clung tightly to the red-clothed little girl, running everywhere to find a sanctuary where they could hide from the monsters.
“Grandpa, are you very afraid of them?”
The red-clothed girl ran alongside Zhang, yet she didn’t seem flustered. On the contrary, she remained exceptionally calm.
“Silly child, these are flesh-eating monsters that won’t even spit out your bones. But don’t be scared—Grandpa will protect you!”
“I’m not scared. I don’t need protecting,” the little girl replied.
Zhang simply thought she didn’t understand the gravity of the situation.
Just then, a massive male Earth Vein Dragon blocked their path, opening its blood-red maw, ready to swallow Zhang whole.
In a panic, Zhang shielded the little girl with his body.
What Zhang didn’t see was the flash of red light in the girl’s eyes. With an unsettlingly detached gaze, she stared at the Earth Vein Dragon.
Allowing Zhang to hold onto her, she calmly said in an indifferent tone:
“I will protect you.”
As her words fell, an Exhaustive Ray suddenly struck the Earth Vein Dragon.
Nearby, a Judgnt Knight—originally poised to attack humans—unexpectedly altered its behavior. As if summoned by its true master, it imdiately turned and launched an assault against the Earth Vein Dragon.
The enormous Earth Vein Dragon collapsed, causing the ground to tremble softly.
Zhang turned around, staring in disbelief at the scene. He still didn’t understand how he had been saved.
Narrowly escaping death, Zhang excitedly picked up the little girl and resud their search for a safe haven.
The little girl smiled faintly.
Judgnt Knights in the vicinity abruptly ceased their attacks on humans and instead raised their hands—sending forth beams of Exhaustive Rays—toward the surrounding Earth Vein Dragons.
