Diao Chan, a spirit sorcerer

The God of War was the first to wave his hand: "Leader! Let's get up on the city wall first and see the specific situation before we discuss further!"

"Okay!"

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers immediately agreed.

However, he also added: "Just now, the city wall was almost completely overrun by the Blood Crows, which is why I was forced to lead the remaining troops to retreat."

"When we go up this time, we must be mentally prepared and take preventive measures. Everyone must be careful and not be too careless, or we'll be killed by the Blood Crows!"

"Okay!"

"Alright!"

"We will be careful!"

A group of people exchanged words.

While leading a team of several thousand people to climb the city wall.

The guild leader of each guild led about 300 people from their respective guilds.

They had just ascended the city wall.

Before they could even see the scene outside the city wall.

A deafening chorus of Blood Crow cries first rushed into people's eardrums:

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

"Caw-caw!"

"Caw-caw-caw-caw-caw!!!"

When they finally ascended the city wall.

The sight that greeted their eyes instantly made everyone's eyes widen!

At the same time, they all gasped in unison: "Hiss—!"

They saw that above and below.

The sky and ground were filled with the pitch-black bodies of Blood Crows.

Innumerable Blood Crows were everywhere within their field of vision!

Filling every corner.

They flew in an orderly fashion in the sky.

Every few seconds, they would open their beaks and let out a "Caw"!

Along the edge of the city wall, they constantly performed aggressive and provocative actions such as diving and gliding.

The movements of all the Blood Crows were perfectly synchronized!

As if they had practiced!

Upon seeing this situation, Brocade of Mountains and Rivers couldn't help but change his expression on the spot, saying cautiously:

"These Blood Crows are definitely not simple!"

"Looking at their flying posture and trajectory, it's as if they've been artificially trained!"

"I'll say it bluntly! This level of synchronization is no different from the soldier training I've seen in the army!"

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers' assessment.

Undoubtedly raised the threat level of the Blood Crows significantly!

The reason why, up until now.

The Blood Crows in the sky still couldn't attack the people inside Linyuan City.

Was because at the four corners of the city wall.

Four tall cylindrical watchtowers were stationed!

Each watchtower permanently housed 12 high-level NPCs who had completed their second class advancement.

And there were also more than a dozen teams of NPC high-level defense soldiers who regularly patrolled back and forth on the four city walls.

With these city-defending NPCs, who were at least level 70 or above.

As soon as the Blood Crows entered their attack range.

They would immediately be impaled by the defending spearmen!

And the defending swordsmen would raise their hands towards the sky, unleashing a ten-zhang long golden sword qi.

"Swish!"

Which could instantly cut off the life of four to five hundred Blood Crows!

It was precisely because of the existence of these powerful NPCs.

That the safety of the city could be temporarily guaranteed.

However.

The behavior of NPC soldiers was particularly rigid.

They would not actively attack distant targets.

Therefore, those Blood Crows that were not within the NPC's attack range.

Could still fly around the Linyuan City wall.

Attacking players along the edge of the city wall.

The Blood Crow swarm was too vast.

The sky was completely dominated by the pitch-black Blood Crows.

Currently, there was no power among the players that could contend with the Blood Crows for territory.

Causing virtually no one to dare stand on the city wall anymore.

Until Ye Xingyu, Chu Hong, God of War, and the leaders of other major guilds arrived.

Only then did they reorganize their forces and ascend to the platform on the city wall.

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

As soon as they walked towards the edge of the city wall.

A group of Blood Crows immediately swooped down aggressively towards everyone!

Their eyes glowed with a bright red, bloody light!

Players who made eye contact with them would feel a momentary trance.

Their eyes would enter a dazed and bewildered state.

The beaks of the Blood Crows at the forefront were round, sharp, and black.

Like a straight, sharp spike.

Possessing extremely strong penetrative power!

And the feathers on their two wings.

Were tightly tucked to the sides of their abdomen.

Sharp and neat like blades!

When they swept across a human body.

They could instantly cut people's bodies in half, left and right, like razor blades.

Causing terrifying armor-piercing damage.

This was why the Blood Crows were so difficult to deal with.

Goddess Daji was the first to act!

She hurled a long, ribbon-like flame at the swooping Blood Crows!

The flame grew larger in the wind as it flew.

Burning hundreds of Blood Crows along its path.

After 3 seconds, it had transformed into the shape of a fiery fox.

And surprisingly, nine fox tails grew from its back!

The Nine-Tailed Fox was engulfed in flames.

Whether it was its claws, limbs, tails, or any other part of its body.

As long as a Blood Crow touched even a wisp.

It would immediately be completely engulfed by the bright red flames.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's death charge continuously annihilated thousands of Blood Crows.

Its momentum did not diminish in the slightest, even becoming more imposing.

It instantly halted this dangerous situation.

"How mighty Goddess Daji is!"

"It seems so simple for her to eliminate thousands of Blood Crows!"

"Amazing!"

"As expected of the guild leader of the number one guild in the world! Her strength is truly formidable!"

The surrounding people all exclaimed in admiration.

And unanimously offered praises to Goddess Daji.

Under the protection of the fiery Nine-Tailed Fox.

Everyone was able to approach the edge of the city wall.

And could clearly see the situation outside the city wall.

When everyone's eyes simultaneously looked outside the city.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in unison: "Hiss!"

They saw that everywhere, from the sky to the ground, was filled with dense masses of Blood Crows.

Their pitch-black bodies covered every corner of their vision.

The guild leaders of several large guilds couldn't help but exclaim:

"There are too many of them!"

"I have never seen such a dense concentration of monsters!"

"This... without large-scale area-of-effect attacks, there's absolutely nothing we can do against the Blood Crows!"

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

At this moment.

From another direction, another massive flock of Blood Crows swooped in to cause trouble.

Divine Diaochan was the first to react.

She drew a snow-white small sword from her sleeve.

The sword was only about one foot and two inches long.

Both the hilt and the blade.

Were a beautiful snow-white color.

The hilt was adorned with many ice-blue patterns.

"What an exquisite short sword!"

Countless people's eyes lit up.

Divine Diaochan performed a sword dance in the air.

The Blood Crows within a hundred-meter radius around her instantly split apart the next second!

A shower of ice-blue snowflakes fell from the sky.

Freezing all targets within the range.

And then instantly tearing them apart with tiny sword qi!

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish!!!!!!!!!"

For a moment.

Countless Blood Crows fell downwards.

There was no longer a single living Blood Crow near Divine Diaochan.

Ye Xingyu's eyes lit up: "Spiritmancer!"

Divine Diaochan's profession was actually the very rare Spiritmancer.

He had seen this hidden profession in his previous life.

The weapons used were mostly these small swords, like the one Divine Diaochan wielded.

The small sword was not a sharp weapon, and its usage differed from most swords.

It was a special magical artifact.

When used to cast spells, its power would be significantly higher than that of ordinary staves, magic wands, and other common weapons.

Therefore, this profession was highly envied.
