Chapter 68 Air Combat
Rulong followed the manager of Xiaolong Chamber of Commerce to a large flying merchant ship. There were many people moving goods onto the ship. Rulong obtained the manager's consent and joined them.
The Xiaolong Chamber of Commerce participated in the business trip this time on a large merchant ship that was larger than an aircraft carrier, as well as several small merchant ships. It can be said that they invested a lot of money and made a big gamble.
In addition to the Dragon Qi Sect's guards, there were also many of their own forces and guests. However, the Small Farmers' Chamber of Commerce was not a large-scale chamber of commerce, but only a medium-sized chamber of commerce, and its chamber of commerce masters were only at the Nascent Soul stage. They had to stay at the headquarters, so the leader was Zhang San, the general manager of the Small Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
The caravan guards formed by Zhang San consisted of several Jindan-stage elders and several Jindan-stage guests of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as dozens of Foundation-building employees of the Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of newly recruited temporary Foundation-building guards. The team was quite large.
As the spaceships took off, like eagles flying in the sky, they instantly flew away from the fairy city.
Not long after, the cargo ship approached a medium-sized flying boat with the flag of the Dragon Qi Sect flying.
After the two forces merged, they headed further away.
After several months of flying, the team left the Dragon Qi Sect's sphere of influence, crossed the Lion Qi Sect, and arrived at the border between the Lion Qi Sect and the Tiger Qi Sect.
Ahead is a boundless forest of ten thousand monsters. Directly in front of the spaceship is the edge of the forest of ten thousand monsters. This route has been walked many times by the people of Longqi Sect and is relatively safe.
One is that they passed through a high altitude, and the other is the reputation of the Dragon Qi Sect. No matter whether it was cultivators, sects, or monsters, they all had to give them some face.
When the flying boat was approaching the edge of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, Liu Ruyan suggested to Li Bufan that they take a detour because they felt that there was a lot of cargo this time and it would be easy for monsters to target them.
Li Bufan was confident of his strength and did not accept Liu Ruyan's advice.
Liu Ruyan was helpless. If anything went wrong, she could just run away. The merchant ship was not hers anyway.
Perhaps Li Bufan also has a similar mentality.
In Li Bufan's opinion, if he took a detour, it would not only weaken the reputation of the Dragon Qi Sect, but also tarnish his own reputation.
So this time, the Dragon Qi Sect's spaceship rushed into the sky above the Ten Thousand Demons Forest without stopping.
When the spaceship entered the depths of the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, a huge roar was heard, like rumbling thunder, followed by a large group of strange crows rising into the sky.
A group of tiger-headed eagles with beaks like long swords, heads like tiger brains, feathers like iron sheets, and wingspans of several meters were leading countless other strange birds, rushing towards the merchant ship in a black mass.
After receiving the notification, Zhang San, the manager of the merchant ship, came to the side of the ship and looked down. He was shocked and thought to himself, "Didn't they say this route is safe? How could we be ambushed?"
He ignored the fact that people die for money and birds die for food. How much profit would such a large caravan bring? The monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest had already received the news. How could they miss the opportunity to make a fortune?
A golden-feathered tiger-headed eagle descended from nowhere over the caravan and forced the entire caravan to stop.
All the disciples of Longqi Sect, including the Yuanying Elder Li Bufan and the Saint Lady Liu Ruyan, immediately took out their magic weapons, got ready, and prepared for the battle.
Liu Ruyan and a group of Longqi Sect disciples were still a little emotional towards Elder Li Bufan, but now that they were facing a powerful enemy, nothing they said would be of any use. The main thing was to unite to fight the enemy. What's more, Elder Li Bufan was in the Nascent Soul stage, so they did not dare to lose their temper.
The golden-feathered tiger-headed eagle spoke in human language: "The people of the Dragon Qi Sect can leave, but the goods must stay."
When Yuanying Elder Li Bufan heard this, it seemed that the other party was still concerned about the reputation of the Dragon Qi Sect, so he became bolder and straightened his back and said, "Which force in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest are you from? Aren't you afraid of the strong men of my Dragon Qi Sect? Don't invite disaster for a small benefit."
Seeing that the other party refused to accept his toast, the golden-winged tiger eagle got angry and didn't bother to say more, so he just used his fists to reason.
Then, his cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage exploded, and he opened his mouth and spit out countless sword energies, which directly hit the protective formation of the Longqi Sect's spaceship. He wanted to pin these Longqi Sect disciples who thought they were superior to him to the ground and let them know how powerful he, the Golden-winged Tiger Eagle, was.
The rest of the strange birds also began to attack other merchant ships.
Soon, the smaller merchant ships began to break apart and fall. The monks inside tried to escape by flying on their swords, but were torn to pieces by the long sword-like beaks of the strange birds in the sky.
The sky was filled with screams and dyed red with blood. Rulong was lamenting his bad luck on the big merchant ship and saying that he was safe. It was simply asking for trouble.
Rulong was wondering if he would be killed if he fell into the forest if the large merchant ship disintegrated.
Rulong thought that it would not happen, because when he traveled to Earth before, he did not die when he fell, but that time he fell into the river.
Rulong now envies those who can fly with swords, but he himself has not learned it yet. Now he can only passively take the beatings in the sky.
Fortunately, the large merchant ship is relatively sturdy, and several elders in the Jindan stage are there. They can use their internal spiritual power to strengthen the defenses and hold out for some time. Now all we have to do is rely on the performance of the people from the Longqi Sect.
The Golden-winged Tiger-headed Eagle is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and Li Bufan is also in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although they are both in the late Nascent Soul stage, monsters of the same level have always had physical advantages over humans.
Now they were in the sky, the Golden-winged Tiger-headed Eagle's home turf. Li Bufan didn't dare to get out of the flying boat to fight, and the other Jindan cultivators were even less brave and could only hide in the flying boat.
They strengthened the defense formation in the flying boat and sent out a distress signal as soon as possible, hoping to get support.
The golden-winged tiger-headed eagle was unable to capture the Dragon Qi Sect's flying boat for a while, so the other two silver-winged tiger-headed eagles also joined the ranks of attacking the Dragon Qi Sect's flying boat.
The Silver-Winged Tiger-Headed Eagle had the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage. Soon the weaker disciples of the Dragon Qi Sect could not bear it anymore and could no longer join the ranks of stabilizing the formation. They vomited blood and fell to the ground one after another.
Liu Ruyan's face was also pale. She had already made preparations. Once the flying boat's defense was breached, she would use the small flying boat to escape.
Liu Ruyan has the Liu family's fastest flying boat, which was prepared for today's situation.
On the large merchant ship where Rulong was, all the cultivators joined in stabilizing the formation and continuously input spiritual energy into the formation. After all, everyone was on the same boat and if they died, they would all die. After struggling to hold on for a while, most of the cultivators vomited blood and fell to the ground.
The large merchant ship disintegrated instantly under the siege of countless bronze-feathered tiger-headed eagles, and the cargo on the ship fell into the forest. All the monks summoned their flying swords, hoping to escape by flying.
Only the dragon was mixed in with the goods and fell to the ground inconspicuously.
The battle broke out in an instant. The monk flew with sword under his feet and held magic weapon in his hand, fighting with the tiger-headed eagle in the sky.
The tiger-headed eagle has a flexible body, a tough body, a sharp beak and claws. Those foundation-building monks are no match for it at all. After a few rounds, the iron-feathered tiger-headed eagle can peck through their heads and pierce their bodies and take out their hearts.
Even a Jindan cultivator would be unable to defeat a Foundation Establishment Iron-Feathered Tiger-Headed Eagle in mid-air, let alone being beaten up by a group of people.
Several iron-feathered tiger-headed eagles surrounded a Jindan cultivator and attacked him. The protective shield of the Jindan cultivator had long been broken, and he could only charge left and right with sharp gears in his hands, trying to fight his way out, until he was exhausted and was dismembered and eaten by several iron-feathered tiger-headed eagles. After all, the Jindan cultivator has vigorous qi and blood.
Zhang San's cultivation was not low, he was in the late Jindan stage, and his combat power was extraordinary. Unfortunately, his opponent was also a Copper-feathered Tiger-headed Eagle in the late Jindan stage. After one round, he was pierced from the back by the Copper-feathered Tiger-headed Eagle's sharp beak, and then he was violently shaken, and Zhang San was shattered into pieces. The golden elixir that fell out of his body was swallowed by the Copper-feathered Tiger-headed Eagle in one gulp.
This bronze-feathered tiger-headed eagle is not interested in the qi and blood of cultivators. He likes to eat golden elixirs. Perhaps he is afraid that the qi and blood will ruin the deliciousness of the golden elixir.
Rulong quietly crawled out from a pile of goods and saw that in addition to the goods and dismantled merchant ship parts, there were pieces of minced meat and broken bones on the ground, which was extremely disgusting.
In the sky, the flying boat of the Dragon Qi Sect was being besieged by a group of tiger-headed eagles. It was about to collapse. The light curtain of the flying boat was shaking violently and it would break in a moment.
Rulong didn't care about anything else and just ran away.
Rulong activated the fourth level of the Chameleon Invisibility Technique and walked slowly at first, fearing to alarm the surroundings and attract the attention of monsters.
After walking a little further and being sheltered by intact trees, he quickened his pace and ran away.
Seeing that the flying boat was in danger, Elder Li Bufan told everyone that once the defenses were breached, everyone should break out separately and the Tiger Qi Sect would reunite.
The disciples of Longqi Sect were somewhat desperate, and even the strongest elder had to run away alone.
Everyone was very disappointed with Elder Li Bufan, but even husband and wife are birds of a feather, and they will fly away when disaster strikes, let alone the relationship between a disciple and an elder, so they could only accept it.
The flying boat protection formation of the Longqi Sect in the sky collapsed after a wave of bombing.
The attack force hit the flying boat, and it disintegrated instantly. At this moment, some people on the flying boat used swords to break through, while others used small flying boats to try to escape.
Elder Li Bufan sacrificed a small flying boat. His small flying boat was very fast and was obtained from a relic. It disappeared as soon as it was sacrificed.
The golden-winged tiger-headed eagle has been monitoring Li Bufan, because Li Bufan is the strongest person here. Not only does he have the most treasures on him, but he also needs to be killed to silence him.
After killing someone to silence him, there will be no evidence and there will be less trouble in the future.
So the golden-winged tiger eagle immediately felt the fluctuations in the air, spread its wings and turned into a stream of light to chase after it.
Next, Liu Ruyan also summoned a flying boat. This flying boat was not much inferior to Elder Li Bufan's. It also flashed a ray of light and then disappeared.
The two silver-feathered tiger-headed eagles smiled contemptuously and spread their wings to chase after them.
