“Help!
Someone help me!”
Zhou Ya cradled her head with her left hand and wielded a torch in her right, swinging it forcefully in an attempt to drive away the man-eating crows.
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
The man-eating crows weren’t afraid of common torches at all.
They flapped their wings, dodged the flames, and lunged fiercely at Zhou Ya, their claws striking in succession.
Rip!
Rip!
Zhou Ya’s hemp robe was quickly torn to shreds, and her body was covered with scratch marks and dripping with blood.
Some of the bolder man-eating crows even got close to her head, incessantly pecking at it.
Some aimed to peck through her skill to eat her brain, while others were keen on feasting on her eyeballs.
In just a moment, Zhou Ya’s head was covered with wounds, and blood flowed freely.
Seeing the terrible state Zhou Ya was in, Du Xin quickly kept her distance, while Gu Rongjie cursed silently at Zhou Ya’s stupidity for not knowing to run towards Xia Hongyao for help.
Given the relationship between Zhou Ya and Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao would surely help her if she ran over.
Of course, it might have been that Zhou Ya was too proud to ask for help and didn’t want to trouble others.
Gu Rongjie had initially wanted to remind her to run towards Xia Hongyao but hesitated for a moment before giving up on the idea.
After all, no one knew what kind of rule pollution they might encounter next.
If both she and Zhou Ya were in danger at the same time, Lin Baici would definitely save Zhou Ya first, as they knew each other.
If Zhou Ya died, aside from Xia Hongyao and Hua Yue Yu, she’d be the highest in command, even higher than Guo Zheng.
If only I were ten years younger!
Gu Rongjie was frustrated, but it was a pity that Lin Baici was not into aunts.
Otherwise, with her looks and temperament,
She would be irresistible.
“Zhou Ya, come here, hurry over!”
As Xia Hongyao fought off bird monsters, she saw Zhou Ya attracting so many man-eating crows and immediately shouted at her, running towards her.
“I’ll go!”
Guo Zheng strode toward Zhou Ya.
After all, it was all about killing the bird monsters.
Saving Zhou Ya would also leave a good impression on Lin Baici.
The other girls who were being attacked did not receive this kind of preferential treatment.
“Ah!”
A junior student from the School of Marine Sciences screamed as blood seeped between the fingers of her right hand, which was covering her eye: “Get away from me!”
No sooner had the girl finished shouting than a man-eating crow pecked her left eye, snatching it out and gulping it down with a toss of its neck.
“Ah!”
The girl let out a harrowing scream, staggering in a desperate attempt to run towards where others were gathered.
“Help!”
She was very pretty, with long black hair and a melon-seed-shaped face, radiating a tranquil elegance like a literary girl; normally one would imagine her eyes to be settling down on a grass field, poring over Tagore’s “Stray Birds,” but now they’d been pecked out.
Leaving behind two bloody, gaping holes.
Thud!
The girl stumbled and fell.
Man-eating crows swarmed over her, pecking at her head and flesh with the speed and force of pile drivers.
The girl thrashed and writhed, but soon lay still as one of the man-eating crows breached the back of her skull.
The girl was dead!
The crows pecked with renewed fervor, like a pack of rabid dogs ripping and ravaging her, as they revel in their sumptuous feast.
Three other girls were even more unfortunate; they were each seized by a group of man-eating crows, dragged up into the sky, and then dropped from a height of over thirty meters.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Two of the girls fell straight to the ground, dead on impact, while another landed on a tree first, her body slashed by branches before she hit the ground.
She wasn’t dead but had suffered fractures and was in immense pain.
“Get out of the way!”
Guo Zheng swung his torch as he approached Zhou Ya, grabbed her arm, and flung her away with force.
Thud!
Zhou Ya hit the ground and rolled away.
Guo Zheng took a few more steps, adjusted his position, and then released Divine Grace!
Whoosh!
The lizard-headed ability unleashed a dragon of fire that swept across the area.
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
A field of charred corpses!
“Xia Hongyao, don’t rescue people, protect the game first!”
Seeing Xia Hongyao starting to rescue others, Guo Zheng was infuriated to the point of spitting blood.
Their deaths mattered not for passing the test, but without the game, everyone might die.
Xia Hongyao ignored Guo Zheng, wielding a dagger so fast it streaked like black lightning, severing the necks of man-eating crows each time it flashed, with blood splashing like blooming flowers.
But there were too many man-eating crows.
Xia Hongyao couldn’t kill them all quickly enough and instead drew the attention of a large flock due to his rescue efforts.
“Come here!”
The voice of Lin Baici sounded from afar.
Xia Hongyao sprinted in that direction.
Despite her speed, even the flying man-eating crows were left behind.
Lin Baici took a deep breath and, after crossing paths with Xia Hongyao, unleashed Divine Grace!
Floating Night Rain, Wild Buddha blowing a lamp!
Another massacre, another divine show of strength to the extreme!
The man-eating crows thudded to the ground.
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
The remaining crows, seemingly frightened or simply because their assault had run its course, took to the skies, circled above the forest of flesh twice, and flew away.
The crisis was over, and everyone sat down on the ground with a thud.
Beyond exhaustion was the lingering tension and fear.
“God Lin, torches and smoke are useless!”
Du Xin was exasperated.
“God Lin, this won’t work.
Your Buddha’s shadow and Guo Zheng’s lizard head surely can’t be used frequently, right?
If you guys run out of fire, we won’t be able to hold off those bird monsters!”
Gu Rongjie analyzed, “There must be a more permanent solution to deal with them once and for all!”
