Chapter 14 Did they call in reinforcements?!
Song Huai'an and Shi Kuo skillfully dodged the fireball.
At the same time, a piercing bird cry rang out, and several fireballs rushed towards Shi Kuo and Song Huai'an. The two reacted quickly and dodged the scorching fireballs once again.
Looking up, they saw a bird surrounded by flames, flapping its wings and glaring angrily at the humans who were trying to steal the spiritual herb.
"It's a fifth-grade Crimson Flame Bird. Its flames are extremely hot, Senior Brother Shi, be careful," Song Huai'an warned. After speaking, he swung his Golden Sky Sword, sending several blades flying towards the Crimson Flame Bird.
The Crimson Flame Bird nimbly dodged the attacks and spat out more fireballs, hurtling towards Song Huai'an and his companions.
"Junior Brother Song, don't worry. Let's hurry up and grab the spirit herb. Don't worry about this silly bird." Shi Kuo activated the spirit weapon under his feet and rushed towards the spirit herb, splashing water everywhere.
How reckless!
Xie Wanning, who was watching the show from the tree, chuckled softly.
Shi Kuo quickly arrived at the side of the spiritual herb, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. Just as he reached out to take it, he was burned by the crimson flames.
"Damn it, that idiot actually set up a barrier next to the spirit herb!" Shi Kuo shouted unwillingly, clutching his injured right hand.
The Crimson Flame Bird noticed Shi Kuo's predicament, let out a triumphant cry, and then summoned a barrage of fire attacks in the form of bows and arrows, all of which were launched at Shi Kuo.
Song Huai'an, who arrived quickly, set up a sword formation. The Golden Sky Sword split into several phantoms to block the Crimson Flame Bird's attack. However, the Crimson Flame Bird's attack was too powerful and there were too many of them. Song Huai'an was injured after only a few parries, and there was blood on his shoulder.
"Senior Brother Shi, break through the barrier quickly, I can't hold on much longer," Song Huai'an said with difficulty.
Shi Kuo then realized what was happening and quickly concentrated his inner strength into his fist, launching continuous attacks on the barrier.
It's no use. A fifth-grade Crimson Flame Bird is comparable to a human in the early stage of the Golden Core realm. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly break through the barrier it sets up?
However, in her previous life, this barrier was indeed breached by Foundation Establishment cultivators. At that time, Xie Wanning led most of the Qingyun Sect cultivators to this spirit herb garden, and only through a series of attacks on the barrier were they able to break it and obtain the spirit herbs.
However, the result was disastrous. Most of the disciples were injured, and the spiritual herb was taken by Shi Kuo, who had contributed the most, and given to Ye Qianqian, who was cheering him on from the sidelines without any effort.
In her previous life, Xie Wanning had warned them from the beginning that the fifth-grade Crimson Flame Bird was not easy to deal with. However, at Ye Qianqian's repeated requests, Shi Kuo and Song Huai'an insisted on rushing to the front. Xie Wanning could not ignore them, and the other disciples were also embarrassed to stand by and do nothing, so they had to join the battle, which led to most of the disciples in the team being injured.
This time, Shi Kuo and Song Huai'an were also bewitched after hearing Ye Qianqian's words. They dared to fight against the fifth-order Crimson Flame Bird with their Foundation Establishment cultivation. It was like an egg hitting a rock. They were too careless.
Xie Wanning, with a leaf dangling from her mouth, watched the battle on the lake with a hint of boredom.
Song Huai'an fought valiantly against the Crimson Flame Bird's attacks, his clothes were scorched, and his shoulders were covered in blood. Shi Kuo's fists were covered in blood, he was sweating profusely, and his eyes were somewhat bloodshot.
The barrier remained unmoved.
At this moment, Ye Qianqian activated the communication talisman in her hand and cried out in a slightly tearful voice, "Senior Sister Yun, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Wen, please come and save us, we can't hold on much longer."
Senior Sister Yun Qing of Danfeng Peak, Second Senior Brother Shen Chuanqiong of Wanshou Peak, and Senior Brother Wen Liao of Qifeng Peak—have they called in reinforcements?!
