Light Fortress-Chapter 1406 - 178: Great Winged Sparrow King

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Shen Li squinted his eyes and slightly turned his head to look back.

Behind him, the Iron Eater’s arm, where it held on, had already begun to crack. It wasn’t the combined weight of the two that was too heavy, but a giant bear was constantly battering and shaking the giant tree, trying to shake them down!

These Beast Spirits are quite peculiar...

He had clearly hidden at the top of the giant tree and still got discovered.

According to previous patterns, their "target" should be Tanyao, so why waste time here?

"...Relax, next, hide well!"

No time to think further.

Shen Li held his breath and exerted himself, grabbing Adam and slightly swinging him, then launching him like a discus. Adam was thrown over a hundred meters, tracing an arc in the air.

The throw by the Iron Eater was accurate, with the landing point being the tallest ancient tree in the area, lush and easy to hide in!

Adam landed safely among the sea of leaves. Meanwhile, the branch Shen Li was holding broke, and he fell into the Beast Tide. But in that instant of falling, he maneuvered the Iron Eater to thrust out the broken iron branch—

"Screech!"

The iron branch, like an arrowhead, pierced through the chest of the black bear shaking the tree, causing a torrent of blood to erupt.

Shen Li fell into the wave of Beast Spirits, twisted his body mid-air, smacked open the skull of an Extraordinary Leopard with a slap in the face, and then kicked and shattered the bean-curd waist of a mutated grey wolf. He discovered these extraordinary creatures waiting to intercept him on the ground were highly evolved, equivalent to five or six-layer Transcendents among humans!

However, for a High-level Transcendent who has comprehended "domain", escaping from such indiscriminate mass trampling isn’t difficult. The biggest fear is being hit once, followed by an endless chain of attacks until the body is crushed, with no chance to catch a breath.

With two heavy strikes, Shen Li created a one-meter radius, one-second long moment of "brief peace" for himself.

This is already sufficient!

The Iron Eater landed heavily, its legs acting like springs compressing to the extreme—

A second later, it powered up and leapt high into the air.

However, an enormous Black Shadow suddenly crashed down— 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

This was beyond Shen Li’s expectations.

The Extraordinary Beast Spirits in this Beast Tide seemed to be quite "intelligent". He had alleviated the crisis on the ground, but an aerial assault still came. It was a black Big Winged Sparrow with a wingspan of fifteen meters, frighteningly evolved; it should be the Great Winged Sparrow King level "Third-tier Peak Beast Spirit". With one collision, Shen Li retracted his hands, and directly transformed himself into iron, but still his skin was pierced!

The Great Winged Sparrow King’s talons were extremely sharp, and when they scraped against his iron-clad body, they emitted a piercing screech!

A plume of blood exploded in the air.

Shen Li forced down the metallic taste in his throat, sliding through the air in a long arc and crashing heavily to the ground. He felt no pain, his battle spirit surging, quickly getting up after landing.

But once one link fails, all fail in succession.

What greeted him now was the raised hoof of a mammoth elephant—

"Boom!"

Shen Li completely lost his rhythm, forced to retreat. Now, he couldn’t even achieve a "moment of peace," constantly getting knocked around in the Beast Tide, barely protecting himself with his iron transformation.

In the chaos, his gaze locked tightly onto the sea of leaves at the treetop, where Adam was located—

"Whew!"

The Great Winged Sparrow King circled high in the air, a mocking smile in its anthropomorphic eyes.

It let out a sharp screech.

Shen Li’s expression turned pale instantly.

A group of black Big Winged Sparrows suddenly swooped down from above!

The towering tree was instantly torn apart by wave after wave of dark shadows.

The sea of leaves shattered.

The giant tree toppled with a roar, dozens of black Big Winged Sparrows skimming through the air, leaving behind fragments of blood-stained clothes fluttering down.
