Chapter 739: 395 Bite back

The giant tornado suspended in midair was particularly shocking, especially the densely packed black spots that, upon closer inspection, turned out to be all Mutated Birds. Among these Mutated Birds, some were quite large, while others were relatively small. Close up, the dense mass was visually even more daunting.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye saw that this was likely a small Base, not large in scale. Outside the Protection Wall, a group of Mutant Beasts was attacking frenziedly; some of the beasts were spitting out Wind Blades or Ice Arrows from their mouths. From time to time, people on the wall would sustain injuries. Those who lost their balance and fell would be swarmed and devoured fiercely by the Mutant Beasts.

Originally white with snow, the ground had been trampled into a mess during the battle, stained extensively with blood, a sight to behold. Apart from the Protection Wall, many inside the Base had also suffered injuries, likely the handiwork of those Mutated Birds above.

Even though Fang Yuyang had unleashed a huge tornado that sucked in a large number of Mutated Birds, many still clung desperately to people, pecking at them with their sharp beaks. The surrounding snow was similarly splattered with large patches of blood, and the intermittent, agonized screams were chilling.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye didn’t dare to look further; seizing the moment while people were occupied with the Mutant Beasts and Mutated Birds, they quietly took out their weapons. Bai Ye mounted Bai Er and charged directly at the group of Mutant Beasts, while Fang Yuxin patted Angela’s fluffy head and rode towards the Protection Wall.

Although the Base was small, the Protection Wall was still built very tall, about ten meters high, approximately the height of a three-story building. Originally, there were pits dug outside the Protection Wall, but due to snowfall, they were nearly filled with fallen snow. The weather was too cold for the snow to melt, leaving it heaped inside the pits.

However, Fang Yuxin noticed that the snow in some areas had been cleared, clearly indicating that the people inside the Base had not been hiding indifferently; they were likely attacked later and couldn’t finish the cleanup. She chose a spot with more snow accumulation; Angela popped out her sharp claws, gently stepped on the snow, turning it instantly into solid ice, and then her body forcefully leapt up, almost carrying Fang Yuxin onto the wall top.

Probably because too many were injured, there was no one guarding that spot anymore; Angela carried Fang Yuxin over the wall effortlessly, and finally, after jumping down from the wall top, landed steadily inside the Base.

In the distance, a huge tornado continued to suck in Mutated Birds relentlessly; however, these birds were not content to sit and wait for death and dug their claws deep into the flesh of the survivors to avoid being pulled into the tornado.

Both Fang Yuxin and Angela felt the pull of the tornado, a non-discriminatory attack that did not target any specific object. But human bodies were inevitably larger, not as light as birds, so the Mutated Birds were at a disadvantage.

Standing mid-air, Fang Yuyang saw that many Mutated Birds had not yet been sucked into the tornado; however, he dared not increase the tornado’s power, for that would risk pulling in the survivors too. That would turn a rescue mission into manslaughter. It was for this very reason he urgently sought the help of Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye.

Fang Yuxin could see his dilemma, but unfortunately, with so many Mutated Birds embedded into the survivors, and the fact that both sides were intermingled, she couldn’t use wide-ranging mass attack skills, only managing localized solutions. Tiny seeds scattered and, under her command, extended rapidly, transforming into sharp wooden thorns that densely shot towards those Mutated Birds.

Many survivors, overwhelmed by the pecking of the Mutated Birds, fell to the ground and struggled ceaselessly, losing their ability to fight, until those birds were hit by the wooden thorns and died beyond doubt, leaving those survivors too weak to throw off the bird corpses clinging to them.

Their injuries were severe, covered in horrendous wounds inflicted by pecks or scratches from Mutated Birds, both horrifying and pitiful. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang gradually cleared the survivors of the Mutated Birds clinging to them, and by the time they had cleaned all the birds in the entire Base, over half an hour had passed.
