Chapter 93: The Sound of Children's Laughter (Part Two)

  Su Qi Ruo quickly gathered her spiritual energy in her hands, although she didn't know how to control it to attack directly, but doing so should still have some intimidating effect, right? Su Qi Ruo thought to herself fortunately.

  The eerie cries of the black birds echoed through the sky, surrounding Su Qi Ru and circling above her head; sometimes diving towards Su Qi Ru, then quickly sweeping past her side, as if intimidating Su Qi Ru not to resist, and also seeming to deliberate on how to devour this sumptuous feast.

  Su Qi Ruo had never seen so many birds before, let alone the fact that these birds were not ordinary bird species. It wasn't until they circled in mid-air that Su Qi Ruo discovered that all of them had nine heads. This made Su Qi Ruo think of Xiang Liu, could it be that these strange birds were also ancient divine clans? However, the physical forms of these strange birds were roughly the same size as ordinary eagles, which was far too different from Xiang Liu. Moreover, how could there be so many bird-type divine clans in ancient times? That would make the divine clans too widespread.

  "Wah——wah——"

  The strange birds kept circling around Su Qi, but they didn't launch a substantial attack. This made Su Qi secretly rejoice - could it be that the spiritual energy in his hands had intimidated the strange birds? Su Qi concentrated more of the spiritual energy in his hands and tried to reach out towards the strange birds. Indeed, when the strange birds sensed the approach of the spiritual energy, they once again rushed into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

  It really works!

  If it weren't for the eerie bird, Su Qi would have been so excited that she almost danced with joy! However, she soon realized a problem. With her current physical condition, gathering spiritual energy like this would probably not last long. If she couldn't think of a way to retreat from the eerie bird, then she would ultimately become its next meal.

  If you want to retreat the strange bird, for now, only spiritual power attacks can be used. But how can I use spiritual power to attack directly? Su Qi sank into thought, and Sun Bo Fan told himself how to use the power of creation that day, but didn't say how to use spiritual power to attack directly. Is it also moving with the heart? Alas, that day should ask Sun Bo Fan, after all, he is a yin-yang master, should understand many methods of controlling spiritual power!

  The strange birds and Su Qi were at a stalemate, they seemed to have plenty of patience, as long as Su Qi didn't move, they wouldn't either, as if waiting for her spiritual energy to be exhausted, then without any effort, they would swallow her into their bellies.

  Su Qi faced the endless flock of strange birds in the sky. She fell into deep thought again. Even if she could directly use her spiritual power to attack, how could she possibly deal with these countless strange birds at the same time? Even if she had an infinite amount of water available for her use now, it seemed like she still hadn't learned how to launch a large-scale attack!

  Perhaps sensing Su Qi's declining spiritual power, a monstrous bird suddenly swooped down towards him, attempting to snatch the first bite of his flesh and blood. Su Qi saw the monster bird shaking its nine heads, baring its teeth and claws as it charged towards him, and for a moment, he was at a loss for how to resist, could it be that he would end up being eaten like this? Unwilling to accept! He was after all the orthodox Water God, having defeated even the formidable Xiang Liu, and Snow God had not gained the upper hand against him, how could he possibly be swallowed by such an unknown monster?!

  "Go to hell!" Su Qi roared in anger, throwing the spiritual energy that had accumulated in his hand at the strange bird. At this point, apart from spiritual energy, Su Qi didn't know what else could counter the bird's attack.

  "Hush—"

  "Wow—"

  After a sudden and violent crash, the strange bird let out a mournful cry and fell into the dark clouds, disappearing from sight. The other strange birds that were still watching the situation flapped their black wings and quickly retreated, their eyes filled with a hint of vigilance as they glanced at Su Qi Rao, whose fierce offensive reminded them that it was not yet time to enjoy their food!

  Repel the enemy with one blow!

  The sudden success left Su Qi'er momentarily stunned, she subconsciously observed her own hands, had she really succeeded? She had actually succeeded! Su Qi'er couldn't conceal her excitement, this meant that she had successfully tried using spiritual power to attack for the first time! How did she do it just now? Ah yes, ah yes, it was following her heart's desire, she only thought about using spiritual power to attack it, so she succeeded! That's right, that's right, it was following her heart's desire!

  A massive flock of strange birds suddenly became agitated, their chirping grew more urgent, they needed food, they yearned for food! Food!

  Su Qi's fierce attack made them retreat, food was important but they couldn't sacrifice themselves for nothing. However, the urgent craving for food made the hungry monster birds restless, their originally eerie red eyes gleaming with an ominous red light.

  "Wow—"

  A low, muffled cry in the flock of birds caught the attention of the strange birds, and they turned their bloodthirsty red eyes towards the source of the sound. The strange bird that had been injured by Su Qi Rao was hiding in the flock, but its unintentional cry had given itself away. All the strange birds stared at it unblinkingly, and a few drops of blood were seeping from the wound on its abdomen.

  "Wow——" A greedy cry suddenly sounded, like a summons, and also like an order. The uninjured strange birds suddenly rushed towards the injured strange bird in a flurry, and in an instant, a huge black cluster of strange birds appeared in the sky. However, in an instant, the strange birds in the black cluster scattered again, they circled and flew in the air, and once again focused their eyes on Su Qi Ruo.

  Scattered black feathers fluttered down from the sky, carrying with them specks of blood that fell to the ground. The injured strange bird had vanished. Su Qi Ruo stared at the scattered black feathers and sniffed the faint scent of blood in the air, deducing that the strange bird he had wounded had already been eaten by its companions. This time, Su Qi Ruo was certain: the nine-headed strange bird before him was not a divine being, but a demonic one - a terrifying demon that devoured its own kind.

  But in the blink of an eye, the nine-headed monster bird was swallowed alive! If these monster birds were to attack him simultaneously, he would probably... Su Qi thought this and his whole body felt a chill run down his spine. He had to think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible!

  "Boom——" A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from behind Su Qi Ruo, the shockwave formed by the blast swept away like a hurricane, causing the strange birds swirling around Su Qi Ruo to retreat in disarray, and also made Su Qi Ruo stumble and almost fall.

  "What's going on?" Su Qi Ruo steadied herself and immediately turned her head to look back. She saw Lu Ke and Shen Rui Wen walking out of the rolling smoke with steady steps, and when they saw Su Qi Ruo, the two of them rushed over in a hurry.

  "Ah! Xiao Qi Ruo, I was worried sick about you!" said She Rui Wen with a look of concern.

  Lu Ke first looked at Su Qi Ru to make sure she was not injured, then asked discontentedly, "What are you doing here?"
