Chapter 214: Pretty Fanciful Tricks
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying took out her scattergun and fired at the swooping bird flocks.
The dead birds dropped from the sky like torrential raindrops.
However, the number of these birds was simply too overwhelming. If she defended one side, she could not defend the other side at all.
On a hillside outside the Tiger Base, a red-robed man looked at the birds continuously flying towards the Tiger Base with an eerie sneer on his face.
“Indulge to your heart’s content, my babies. Let them know how powerful you are.”
The birds had already completely covered the sky above the Tiger Base. The people of the Tiger Base had never encountered such a scene before. They all hid in their houses in fear.
“Quick! Get into the house. Everyone get inside.” The young and strong men emerged with all kinds of weapons to kill the birds. The elderly, children, and women all hid in the houses.
However, the houses in the Tiger Base were mostly made of wood. Soon, the birds had pecked out large holes in the roofs and doors of the houses.
“Argh! Argh! You damned birds! 1’11 kill you all, you damned birds!”
The birds that took the opportunity to fly into the house were all battered by the elderly, the children, and the woman with weapons that they could readily lay their hands on.
For a moment, the entire Tiger Base was shrouded in the fear brought on by the swooping birds.
“These birds can’t be defeated no matter how hard 1 try. What damned luck.” Tiger Might and his men were outside, and the birds had already pecked their bodies until they were covered in wounds. However, they did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
Su Ying looked at the bird corpses that almost covered the entire courtyard, and the veins on her forehead bulged vehemently. There were simply too many birds, and it was impossible to kill them all at this rate.
When she thought of this, she turned around and entered the interspatial store again. She wanted to look for a comprehensive weapon that could quickly deal with them.
At the main entrance, Xiao Jin took out the conch and blew it, trying to control the birds. Unfortunately, these damned birds were not controlled by the conch.
“Prepare torches. Use fire to burn them. They’re afraid of fire.”
“Yes, Sir.”
When Su Ying came out of her interspatial store again, she was carrying a long gun that was half the height of her body. “I’m not going to rest until I kill all of you today.” She hauled the long gun up the wooden stairs and climbed to the roof.
When the birds saw that there was someone on the roof, all of them swooped down toward Su Ying in a frenzy as if they had made an amazing discovery.
Su Ying’s face revealed a sinister, murderous smile. “Enjoy it to your hearts’ content, babies!”
She aimed the gun barrel at the flock of birds and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Instantly, laser beams shot out like a rain of swords, flying toward the birds at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The bodies of the birds that were hit by the laser beams poured down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the bird corpses piled up high in the courtyard.
Su Ying turned around and fired again.
As she watched the bird corpses dropping down, the killing intent in Su Ying’s eyes intensified, almost to the point that her eyes turned bloodshot.
This fierce battle lasted from daytime until sunset, yet there was no sign of it ending.
The people in the Tiger Base were already exhausted from killing the birds. Everyone could only take turns coming out of the house. They did not even have the time to take a sip of water.
The front and back yards of every house were filled with bird corpses, and there was almost no place to stand.
When the red-robed man saw that the birds in the sky were getting fewer and fewer, he could only take out his jade flute and blow it.
The birds began to fly upwards upon hearing the sound from the jade flute. They stopped attacking and flew toward the back of the mountain.
As the flock of birds gradually dispersed, the sunset finally revealed its original appearance.
After the swooping birds left, everyone in the base camp collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
This battle was really damn tiring.
Xiao Jin put down the spear in his hand and extinguished the torch. He immediately sent someone to check on the casualties.
Su Ying also put away the gun in her hand.
She came down from the roof, but there were simply too many black bird corpses. There were so many that even the stairs were filled with corpses.
Su Ying picked up a bird’s corpse and examined it. After confirming that there was no poison, she pushed aside all the corpses by her feet.
Howl!
The wolf pack crawled out from under the mountain of bird corpses. Their bodies were also pecked by the birds to some extent and covered in blood.
Su Ying was so tired that she flopped down on the stairs. She reached out and patted the alpha wolf leader’s head. “Well done, doggy.”
Howl!
Although it was exhausted, the alpha wolf leader still raised its head proudly.
After taking a breather, Su Ying stood up and signaled to Hea Shouyi and the others to come out.
As there were too many bird corpses, the door was blocked on the outside.
Aunt Zhao and the rest were holding onto the children in the house while Hea Shouyi and the men went forward to open the door.
Whoosh! All the bird corpses surged into the house at once.
“Argh!” Bai Shuang was so scared that her face turned pale. They had never seen so many bird corpses before.
“Don’t be afraid. They’re all dead birds. Clean them up. There’s no poison in them. We can keep them for food.”
There were so many birds. Who knew how long it would take to eat them all?
Su Ying went to get a shovel and shoveled all the bird corpses out of the house.
Although there were many bird corpses beyond the door, the amount was small compared to the amount in the courtyard.
Xiao Jin was worried about Su Ying and the children, so he rode back on his horse after giving instructions to Jiang Yang.
When he returned home, he saw the heaps of bird corpses outside in the courtyard and frowned.
“Su Ying.”
Su Ying heard his voice and walked out of the house.
“I’m here.”
Xiao Jin looked at the bloodstains all over her body and frowned very deeply. “Why didn’t you treat your injuries first?”
Su Ying let out a breath. “It’s just some small injuries. There are too many bird corpses. If we don’t push them out first, there won’t be any space to even stand in the courtyard.”
Su Ying took a shovel and threw it at him. “1’11 go to the backyard to check on the livestock.”
Xiao Jin took the shovel and nodded.
Su Ying walked to the backyard and found that the livestock shed was full of small holes that had been pecked out. Fortunately, Hea Shouyi had said that the livestock were afraid of the cold. In order to prevent them from getting frostbite, they enclosed the livestock shed. Even when the birds swooped down to the livestock shed to attack, they were unable to enter the shed. Thus, the livestock inside were still fine.
After confirming that the animals were fine, Su Ying returned to the courtyard. Everyone worked together until nighttime to clean up all the bird corpses.
Su Ying was so tired that she flopped down on the corridor. “These Sky Alpha Cult members sure know some pretty fanciful tricks.”
Xiao Jin walked out of the house, scooped her up immediately, and carried her into the house.
Su Ying really didn’t feel like moving, so she allowed him to bring her into the house.
Lin Zhuyu brought a basin of hot water into the house. “Mistress, 1 will help you clean up.” The bloodstains on her body had already frozen solid.
However, Xiao Jin went forward and took the handkerchief from Lin Zhuyu. “Get out.”
Lin Zhuyu stared at Su Ying helplessly and dared not meet Xiao Jin’s eyes. She turned around and meekly left the room..
