Chapter 2140 - 2140 2130 Master of the Day

2140: Chapter 2130: Master of the Day 2140: Chapter 2130: Master of the Day The human-faced bird flying in the sky, Long Yan certainly recognized it, or rather, he had heard of it—there wasn’t a single person in the Hundred Thousand Mountains who didn’t know of this thing.

This thing was called a human-faced bird, a creature from the Death Domain within the Swamp of Death.

This thing, if considered on its own, had no particular uses—it was simply an ordinary human-faced Demon Beast; however, such beasts did not act alone, typically moving in groups.

“Damn.”

Long Yan cursed softly, carefully moving along the tree branches while keeping his eyes firmly on the human-faced bird in front of him.

There once was a Half-step Saint Emperor who flew over the Swamp of Death.

She had encountered this flock of human-faced birds, and capitalizing on a Half-step Divine Emperor’s strength, she fought against the human-faced birds in the sky with friends.

The outcome was beyond everyone’s imagination; five Half-step Divine Emperors all died under the vicious pecking of the human-faced birds, not a single one survived, and what should have been a one-sided war completely turned around.

The bodies of the human-faced birds were that of ordinary birds, but they were the favored children of heaven and earth—all forms of True Qi were utterly ineffective against them.

However, their bodies were also exceptionally frail; even a True God-tier individual could easily handle many human-faced birds.

But the current situation didn’t allow Long Yan to wage war against the human-faced birds, not to mention he was still injured.

Even if he were in his prime, he wouldn’t dare step foot here, as compared to other places, this was the true Death Domain.

Even Elder Xuehe, who was a Divine Emperor himself, dared not clash head-on with the human-faced birds, much less Long Yan.

Long Yan moved his feet carefully, fearing to make the slightest noise.

It was the human-faced birds’ resting time, and most had settled on the branches, like the one not far from Long Yan.

The human-faced birds had a highly regular rest schedule, so all Long Yan had to do was wait for them to fall asleep before quietly leaving.

As the Sun set, the chirping of the human-faced birds died down.

Long Yan let out a long breath, feeling the strangeness of life after narrowly escaping death.

He took out a piece of white cloth from his Storage Space and sprinkled some hemostatic medicine on it, wrapping his wound gently.

It was deathly silent around him, the woodland should be buzzing with insects, but now it was eerily quiet, not even a hint of sound to be heard.

Long Yan leaped lightly from the tree branch, the ground beneath was covered with dry leaves that rustled as he stepped on them.

He did his best to lighten his footsteps, wanting to leave this troubled spot.

But just as he was about to walk away, a rumbling sound reached him, and the surrounding trees collapsed one after another, a huge cloud of dust rising among the woodland.

Long Yan felt uncomfortable; he was just about to make a successful getaway, but this loud disturbance had woken all the nearby human-headed birds from their deep slumber, and in an instant, their chirping was unceasing.

Amidst the shrubs, the sounds of numerous birds taking flight could be heard; Long Yan quickly hid behind the nearby trees, stealthily observing the scene in the distance.

The originator of this huge commotion was a pig-headed creature walking upright, charging toward the tree Long Yan was in, with faint electric arcs flickering around it.

This was a high-level demon beast, the Thunder Pig, which was naturally endowed with the power and speed of thunder and lightning, Its strength was quite formidable, and many cultivators were willing to capture such creatures for use as Immortal Pets, The Thunder Pig before Long Yan was an adult specimen.

But something felt very strange in Long Yan’s heart.

Although Thunder Pigs were known for their incredible speed, why was this one exceptionally fast, as if it were fleeing for its life?

The arcs of electricity around the Thunder Pig did nothing to block the pecking of the Human-faced Birds, their sharp beaks left one bloody hole after another on the Thunder Pig’s body, but even so, the Thunder Pig kept charging headlong into the swarm of Human-faced Birds.

When he saw what was behind the Thunder Pig, Long Yan’s pupils sharply constricted, There was something even more terrifying trailing the Thunder Pig.

Thousands of centipedes the size of a person were closely following behind the Thunder Pig, their venomous fangs gleaming with a green light, This creature was one of the land hegemons of the Swamp of Death: the Soul-snatching Centipede.

Not only was it different in size from a normal centipede, but its toxicity was also much more fierce, Just the slightest touch of its venomous fangs meant certain death, If the Human-faced Birds were the lords of the swamp’s sky, then the Soul-snatching Centipede was the lord of the ground.

Several wounds on the Thunder Pig’s body had already turned purplish-black, clearly indicating poisoning, Even without the pursuit of the Soul-snatching Centipede, it was doomed.

But now it was running straight towards Long Yan, If it got close, it would undoubtedly reveal Long Yan’s position, Left with no choice, Long Yan had to disregard his cover and dashed rapidly towards the distance.

Several Human-faced Birds around Long Yan had clearly not noticed the large living person ambushed under the tree, In an instant, countless Human-faced Birds flew towards Long Yan, He immediately summoned the Magic Gun.

With a flick of his hand, the Magic Gun pierced two Human-faced Birds like a bolt of lightning, This action undeniably enraged the Human-faced Birds, and more joined the fight.

Long Yan’s freshly bandaged wounds split open again, and fresh blood slowly seeped through the white cloth, The blood further stimulated the beastly nature of the Human-faced Birds, many of their eyes turning deep red.

He did not dare to pause even for a moment on the ground, The Human-faced Birds pursued Long Yan like maggots attached to bones, The Thunder Pig behind him had already fallen to the ground, its corpse covered by countless Soul-snatching Centipedes, But even more of them, attracted by the commotion caused by Long Yan, were streaming crazily towards his location.

The Magic Gun in his hand was so tightly swung it left no openings, Despite the multitude of legs, the Soul-snatching Centipedes behind him were not especially fast, Long Yan felt that if the Thunder Pig hadn’t strayed into the territory of the Soul-snatching Centipedes, it wouldn’t have been poisoned, but now Long Yan was surrounded by countless Human-faced Birds.

Long Yan felt his vision beginning to blur, the surrounding scene becoming somewhat unreal, He sensed that the wounds on his body were getting more severe.

The surrounding Human-faced Birds that were besieging Long Yan had now become countless, and a slight delay in his actions resulted in a Human-faced Bird pecking a bloody hole in his body.

“How can I…

just fall down here.”

Long Yan stimulated all his True Qi, For the first time in his life, he accelerated to such speeds, leaving the Human-faced Birds far behind like a wisp of breeze.

Sitting down under a big tree, Long Yan was gasping for air, but his hands did not dare to delay, He quickly applied hemostatic medicine and wrapped up his wounds.

After doing all this, Long Yan felt darkness before his eyes, his vision turned completely black, He passed out entirely.

Inside the thatched cottage, the dim glow of fireflies flickered ceaselessly, The surroundings were as quiet as an ordinary household, Long Yan slowly came to consciousness.
