Chapter 185 Red Heron, Take Off
Honglu Island is not large; it is a teardrop-shaped island with large areas of reeds and shallow waters.
The flamingos living on the island hunt small fish and shrimp that powerful water monsters disdain every day, and they are always worried that they might accidentally become food for water monsters.
However, there are almost no threats on land; very few land-based monsters dare to cross the hundred-zhang-wide water surface to come here.
But today.....
A huge column of water shot into the sky, waking some sleeping red herons. They looked up at it briefly, then lay back down indifferently.
I'm afraid it's another unlucky big fish that has met its demise. I wish there was some left. I wonder if that big flatfish could just bite off half of itself, and have the lower half of its tail explode with the water column and fly onto my head? That would be so great.
While the red heron was daydreaming, it was unaware that it was about to face a terrible disaster.
A blurry black shadow drifted rapidly across the water, its human body seemingly entangled with steel. The wheels spun rapidly in the air, the thrust of the propellers had vanished, and this large, bizarre creation crashed into the reeds at a height of three feet off the ground.
Honglu sensed something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, her face was covered with things she had never seen before in her life. For a moment, she couldn't tell if she was still dreaming.
The cries of the flamingos and the sound of their wings taking flight jolted it awake. The warnings from the flock were torn into pieces by the howling wind, intermittently stuffed into its ears.
In the blink of an eye, it kicked up its long legs and flashed past like a red lightning bolt.
A deafening roar shattered its core.
Oh no, my nest is gone.
My nest, the nest I spent over a month building, you died such a tragic death!
Wait, I'll avenge you right now!
.....
Zhong Ming opened his eyes, his whole body aching, feeling as if all his joints were out of place, creaking with every movement. He was thrown out and lay on his back on the ground, where the surface was uneven and very sharp.
"cracking!"
Huh? Zhong Ming turned his head, his brain almost crashing.
What is that? Could it be the legendary ostrich? Why is there a big bird with wings running towards me?
No, Zhong Ming did a somersault and stood up. The two were so close that they didn't even have a chance to take out the Cold Breath technique before they collided.
He swung his fist and punched.
It raises its beak and pecks.
The two fought fiercely, neither giving an inch, leaving blood everywhere. Zhong Ming landed several punches on the red heron's neck, but the heron didn't flinch at all, seemingly determined to trade blows for his life, frantically pecking at his head. When he couldn't dodge, a horrible scar was pecked into his scalp, almost leaving him bald.
The battle did not stop there. The Red Heron's initial momentum was extremely strong. After colliding with this despicable human, it continued to charge forward, carrying him straight into the only place on Red Heron Island that could be considered a small mound.
Zhong Ming craned his neck to dodge a peck, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a rock wall behind him. Startled, he grabbed the red heron by the neck, quickly flipped it over, and straddled it, pressing its head down hard.
"You like to charge, don't you! Come on, charge forward!" These words were almost roared out, and blood flowed down Zhong Ming's face from the top of his head, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing that things were going badly, the red heron rushed too fast and had difficulty turning, so it had no choice but to spread its wings and take off with all its might.
With a few flaps of its wings, it would have already taken flight high in the sky, but today it was carrying a person on its back, which made it very uncomfortable. Although its body was off the ground, it rushed towards the rock wall with a faster flight posture.
Zhong Ming was prepared to jump, ready to risk his life if his pet bird did something reckless. Suddenly, the red heron beneath him surged with power, its wings beating down with a force completely different from before. A tremendous force sent them both leaning back, facing the vast sky.
The red egret's innate ability has no other special characteristics; it is simply immense strength.
The red egret is born with superhuman strength, capable of carrying three hundred stones and traveling three thousand miles in a single flight.
Of course, this was just someone bragging, and it's unclear what rank of great demon they were talking about. Anyway, this red heron was much weaker. Although both of them raised their heads, their forward momentum hadn't completely subsided, and they were still crashing into the rock wall.
Zhong Ming leaned back, still gripping the red egret's neck tightly, making it difficult for it to breathe. It was about to fall flat on its back when, in desperation, it stepped onto the stone wall.
Zhong Ming blinked and then suddenly leaped across the rooftops!
The large bird spread its wings, kicked off the rock face several times, adjusted its posture, and soared into the sky.
The man and the bird began a frantic battle in the air again. Zhong Ming regretted storing the mother and child swords in the storage stone denture. Now he could only hold onto the red heron with both hands, otherwise he would be in danger of being thrown off.
A flamingo flew into the sky and cried out, "Chieftain, save me!!!"
I turned my head and looked around...
Hey, why did they all run away?
Looking up, they saw dark shadows hanging high in the sky. Those old birds that rarely left the mountains had all come to attack their nest! If it were just one bird, the flock of red herons, working together, might have a chance of winning. But this large group…
At that moment, its heart turned ice-cold.
At this moment, the Immortal Rat Taoist also looked at the red heron in front of him with surprise and doubt. Why did this strange flight path seem so familiar?
That kid who just used his sword to kill me, right?
Compared to Zhong Ming, who exhausted his spiritual power while riding his sword, the Immortal Rat Taoist, who had been sitting on the back of a demon beast, had much more spiritual power. He formed hand seals, and his spiritual power almost condensed into a giant demon, faintly radiating a huge pressure.
The monsters in the air subconsciously submitted to it, because all of them realized that they had entered its absolute attack zone.
After casting his spell, the Immortal Rat Taoist flicked his sleeves in satisfaction. This giant beast illusion used all its power to disguise itself as a high-level demon beast. Although it consumed a lot of spiritual energy, the effect was excellent.
Alright, "Great Leader" of the monsters, lead the charge!
The enormous monster flapped its wings and charged toward the red heron.
By this time, the red heron was so frightened that its legs went weak and even its wings stiffened, gliding through the air. Zhong Ming, seeing that its "flight was stable," mustered his courage, grabbed its neck with one hand, and freed himself to take the chill from the cold air.
The remaining spiritual energy was not optimistic, and he had to carefully calculate where every bit of spiritual energy would go.
He didn't have the keen senses of a demon beast. When he felt a chill down his back, the enormous illusion was already behind him.
The Immortal Rat Taoist had a good plan, but he didn't know that the Red Tassel of the Spring Cold could see through simple illusions and was a magic treasure. Even if it was bad, it was still better than your spell.
In Zhong Ming's eyes, a ball of spiritual energy that was constantly disrupting the air was flying towards him.
