“It’s the Mountain Crusher Ruler. It seems to be struggling in the Wind of Sorrow!” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed, pointing above them.

“How did that thing fly so fast while bringing so many Winged Patrol Beasts along? Aren’t they a burden to it?” Bai Hongfei said with a confused look.

“Not only aren’t the Winged Patrol Beasts a burden, they are actually easing its path!” Lingling pointed at the Winged Patrol Beasts sticking close to the Mountain Crusher Ruler. She added, “Look, they aren’t just circling the Mountain Crusher Ruler randomly. They are doing it in a specific pattern, including the timing and frequency of beating their wings, and the way they are altering their positions in the formation.”

“But the Wind of Sorrow is so strong! Shouldn’t those low-level Winged Patrol Beasts be struggling against it?” Bai Hongfei asked.

“Are you familiar with migratory birds, like geese flying in a V-shaped formation? When they are flying in position, it will produce a special flow of air that reduces air resistance. Any goose will struggle to fly a great distance on their own, but if a bunch of geese are flying together, they will easily cover the distance when migrating. The same concept applies to the Winged Patrol Beasts circling the Mountain Crusher Ruler. They are producing a special flow of air to weaken the Wind of Sorrow and conserve their energy,” Lingling said.

“I see! No wonder it feels like we are having difficulty catching up!”

“The Wind of Sorrow must be stronger up there, so it has broken the formation that the Winged Patrol Beasts are flying in. The Mountain Crusher Ruler is now being affected by it!” Lingling said.

“We should use this opportunity to catch up to them!”

Little Moon Moth Phoenix took hold of the opportunity to reduce the distance between her and the winged beasts ahead. She used her wings perfectly, using the strong Wind of Sorrow as a force propelling her upwards.

The Mountain Crusher Ruler was spinning in circles at the same height, while Little Moon Moth Phoenix continued to soar into the sky. The Mountain Crusher Ruler was only inches away in no time. The proud and aloof creature let out an angry cry when it saw Little Moon Moth Phoenix about to overtake it.

An annoying shriek echoed in the clouds. The Winged Patrol Beasts that had been knocked out of their formation suddenly gave up on flying any higher. They began to dive at Little Moon Moth Phoenix like a bunch of vampiric bats!

The number of the Winged Patrol Beasts was more overwhelming than the humans had first imagined. They were like a huge gray cloud throwing out sonic waves. Their heads were on the verge of exploding from the noises.

“Help me with the defense, I’ll kill them all!” Li Dexin grunted.

The Winged Patrol Beasts had driven Li Dexin mad. He Summoned his Wing Magical Equipment and took off before the others could say a word.

A defensive Maga immediately backed Li Dexin up. She cast a Water Spell to encapsulate both herself and Li Dexin, but the Wind of Sorrow was stronger than she had expected. The thin protection of the Water Spell collapsed in no time!

The female Maga was given a great fright. She told Li Dexin, “General Li, hurry up, I can’t hold on for any longer!”

Li Dexin ignored her warning. He cast an Earth Spell and tossed a bunch of huge rocks at the annoying Winged Patrol Beasts.

The Winged Patrol Beasts following the Mountain Crusher Ruler in the competition were not necessarily low-level creatures, either. Some of them were in the Commander-level, and their bodies were covered in some glittering gray substance. These Commander-level creatures immediately spread their wings to defend their leader when Li Dexin started attacking!

Li Dexin’s spell was not effective. He proceeded to cast a Super Spell angrily.

One Water Star Constellation after another appeared. Li Dexin was not very quick at channeling the Star Palace. He finally completed it with the protection from the Maga.

“Catastrophe Wave!”

As Li Dexin shouted, the mist among the clouds turned into a curtain of water, which poured down like waves that eventually grew into a tsunami!

The Commander-level Winged Patrol Beasts had no chance of protecting the rest of their comrades this time, no matter how wide they were spreading their wings. The Catastrophe Wave delivered a deadly blow to them. Their wings were soaked as they were drowned by the water. They fell from the sky together with the tsunami!

The Catastrophe Wave was up in the sky, so it was unable to cover a great distance. However, Li Dexin was extremely pleased after eliminating a huge bunch of Winged Patrol Beasts with his spell.

The rest of the Commander-level creatures beat their wings and stared at the Catastrophe Wave as it fell with lingering fears. Meanwhile, the Mountain Crusher Ruler was glaring at Li Dexin from above the Catastrophe Wave.

The Mountain Crusher Ruler did not make its move. It still had many lackeys with it. Even if it was struggling to go any higher, it would not let Little Moon Moth Phoenix overtake it, either!

The Mountain Crusher Ruler extended its wings. A huge cloud of Winged Patrol Beasts spread throughout the sky. Their numbers were absolutely shocking as they soon filled the sky.

“How was it hiding so many of them under its wings? Holy crap, it’s only half its initial size!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

The Mountain Crusher Ruler was extremely large, with lots of feathers. It had seemed like its wings had several layers of feathers, but to their surprise, they were not really the Mountain Crusher Ruler’s feathers, but the winged beasts that had attached themselves to it!

The Patrol Winged Beasts had formed a thick, huge coat around the Mountain Crusher Ruler. However, since they were no longer able to help it reach a greater height, it decided to take them off and attack the Little Moon Moth Phoenix that was about to overtake it instead!

The Winged Patrol Beasts were everywhere. They used their wings to produce a strong airflow, resisting the Wind of Sorrow.

Those without wings were unable to manipulate the flow of air. Therefore, the humans on Little Moon Moth Phoenix would have to stay on Little Moon Moth Phoenix or expose themselves to the Wind of Sorrow to attack them!

The turbulence was stopping Little Moon Moth Phoenix from going any higher. Most importantly, the Mountain Crusher Ruler was expending the Winged Patrol Beasts like cannon fodder; they were diving at the Little Moon Moth Phoenix recklessly. They would be satisfied even if they only managed to break the Little Moon Moth Phoenix’s balance, even if it meant falling from the sky!

It was manageable if only a few dozen Winged Patrol Beasts were taking the kamikaze approach, but hundreds of the Winged Patrol Beasts were doing the same thing. No matter how strong Little Moon Moth Phoenix was, she would still be affected by the suicide attacks!

“How detestable! The Mountain Crusher Ruler decided to abuse the numbers of its lackeys to intercept its opponents!” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed.

“These little pricks, I can’t stand them any longer! Mo Fan, what are you waiting for? Beat the crap out of them!” Zhao Manyan yelled at Mo Fan. He had enough of the annoying Winged Patrol Beasts.

Mo Fan cracked his neck and his fingers.

It was finally his turn!

Winged Patrol Beasts? Overwhelming numbers? My Ardent Sunset has been thirsty for a long time!

“You, stop using your Water Magic, I’m about to use Fire!” Mo Fan warned Li Dexin.

The proud Li Dexin did not take Mo Fan’s words seriously. He responded, “Do you think your Fire is stronger than my Super Water Spell? Stand aside, leave these annoying pricks to me. I’ll take care of them!”

Mo Fan shook his head helplessly. He could not be bothered to convince someone like Li Dexin. He turned to another direction and cast his Fire Spells at the Winged Patrol Beasts!

“Little Flame Belle, you take care of the left, I’ll handle the right!” Mo Fan ordered.

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle cried excitedly. Grilling birds is my favorite!

Flames engulfed Little Flame Belle as the flames of the Ardent Sunset spread wildly and filled the area. The Winged Patrol Beasts being treated as cannon fodder truly lived up to their roles amid the flames, as the Ardent Sunset simply burned them into nothing!

The Ardent Sunset was not necessarily effective against the winged beasts, but it was perfect when attacking large numbers of enemies. When a target was set on fire, the flames would easily spread to another target at the same strength; the tighter the creatures were packed together, the greater the damage dealt to them, since the Ardent Sunset was able to spread faster and more fiercely!

Mo Fan did not use a Fire Spell. His control of Fire Magic was a lot weaker when Little Flame Belle was not Possessing him. The Ardent Sunset was Little Flame Belle’s Soul-grade Flame, and did not belong to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan’s Soul-grade Flame was the Meteor Scarlet, but it was not suitable under the circumstances.

However, he did have other Elements available. He began to compress space, and forced the Winged Patrol Beasts into tight clusters so the Ardent Sunset could spread even quicker!

Little Flame Belle was responsible for output, while Mo Fan was adding to the fuel. The Ardent Sunset soon covered a huge area, preventing the Winged Patrol Beasts from coming any closer.

“Such an impressive flame!” Bai Hongfei was a Fire Mage, too. His eyes glittered when he saw the Ardent Sunset.

“Humph, his flame just happened to be these winged beasts’ weakness!” Li Dexin harrumphed coldly when he noticed Mo Fan had finished taking care of the winged beasts faster than he could.

The clouds in the surroundings were dyed red by the flames. The Ardent Sunset had spread a few kilometers away with the help of the Wind of Sorrow. The flames were almost in reach of the Mountain Crusher Ruler!

The Mountain Crusher Ruler did not expect the humans with the Little Moon Moth Phoenix to be so tricky to deal with. Its followers were like petty mosquitoes in their eyes.

The Mountain Crusher Ruler let out a cry. It was about to make a move again!
