It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 720 Helper
The human-faced crows circled overhead like dark clouds over the remains of the mother nest, emitting impatient cries.

A powerful mental pressure enveloped the remains, preventing them from getting close.

The meteor is deep within the wreckage; to get there, one must cross this murky lake.

Feng Ling raised one claw and dipped it into the lake. The water was shallow, barely covering her claw, but she knew that a dozen meters further on, she would encounter a steep slope.

Because she had seen the true appearance of this lake in her memories of the mother nest. There are many lakes of different sizes here, and the bottoms of the lakes are connected to each other. When the water level rises, the lake surfaces become a whole, which forms the vast landscape in front of her.

Feng Ling stared blankly at her paws submerged in the water, "...It's amniotic fluid. I can feel the energy in the water, although the energy is very thin."

The water was not calm; the boiling ripples resembled fluttering fish scales, and something was coming towards the shore from underwater.

Ye Zheng gritted his teeth in hatred, "No wonder Meteor was hiding in the maze and wouldn't come out. She was lucky enough to find a good place to hide."

Feng Ling said in a low voice, "This body of water breathes. The water level rises and falls with each breath. The real reason why the meteor guided us was to prevent us from wasting too much time on the way. By the time we arrived here, we would have just encountered low tide."

"What should we do then? Should we wait here for the tide to recede?" Ye Zheng asked.

“It’s too late,” Feng Ling said in a deep voice, staring at the increasingly violent ripples on the lake. “I’ll go down and suppress them. You and the Taoist priest can take this opportunity to find the dwarf sheep.”

Ye Zheng frowned, "No, we must..."

Before she could finish speaking, the dragon had already swooped down into the lake, its massive body creating a huge splash!
In just two or three seconds, Feng Ling had waded through the shallow water and sank completely underwater. The waves surged violently, and blood spread and proliferated beneath the lake!
"Feng Ling!" Ye Zheng shouted angrily.

Scales and limbs that did not belong to the dragon surfaced on the lake, and the color of the blood became increasingly dark. Ye Zheng could not see anything and was extremely anxious.

The weasel jumped off her shoulder, stepped onto the slippery mud on the bank, squeaked loudly, and then quickly typed on its phone.

Just as Ye Zheng was about to look at the words on his phone, his keen ears caught the sound of something cutting through the air rapidly approaching!

The speed was too fast; she didn't have time to dodge. Instinctively, she turned her body to the side and spread her wings to block.

With a whoosh! The immense force shattered the moth's wings and pierced her arm!

Ye Zheng fell due to the momentum of the heavy blow, tumbling down the slope, roaring in pain!

Looking up again, she saw an arrow had struck her upper arm.

It was no ordinary arrow; it was made of bone and emitted a deathly black aura, which spread like a spider web from the wound!

Niu Dao, who had been following Ye Zheng closely, avoided the black aura, his mane bristling and emitting a wary roar.

Ironically, the Shadow Tiger and Undead Spider cards that dissolved within Ye Zheng's body were both of the Necromancer type. Although they had corrupted her genes, they provided her with natural resistance to the Black Pharaoh's attacks.

The archer was none other than the drunkard who possessed the Black Pharaoh card.

She stood atop the remains, her eyes slightly narrowed. Due to the hill's unique terrain, Ye Zheng had disappeared from her sight after rolling down the slope.

"Unfortunately, I didn't land a critical hit." The drunkard muttered to himself, nocking his bow again, intending to aim at Ye Zheng's head as soon as she peeked out.

In the sky, the previously scattered crows all gathered together, shouting and yelling at the drunkard, as if crying out to the heavens and the earth.

Meanwhile, Ye Zheng gritted her teeth and pulled the arrow out of her arm. She was furious. When she heard the cries of the human-faced crows in the distance, she propped herself up with one hand and looked around. She found a figure standing directly below where the human-faced crows were gathered.

The distance was too far, and before she could see it more clearly, a second arrow was shot!

Ye Zheng hurriedly bowed his head and pressed it to the ground!

The arrow was so powerful that it almost grazed her scalp!
"Bastard!" Ye Zheng was furious and immediately wanted to rush out to settle the score with the other party!

The weasel got anxious and threw the phone in her face. It then redeemed a syringe from the store and quickly stabbed it into Ye Zheng's injured arm.

The phone screen displayed only three words: 【Waiting for the tide to recede.】

"Who knows when the tide will go out!" Ye Zheng was enraged by the two unexpected arrows and shouted, "This lake won't drown me, I'm going to tear that sneak attacker to pieces!"

The weasel crawled to the ground, picked up the phone, and continued typing:

[Long-range attacks have an advantage, let the third brother help! Avoid getting hit by arrows!]

In his haste, Ye Zheng couldn't type many words, but he still managed to understand what the weasel meant.

She thought for a few seconds, then turned to Niu Dao beside her and asked, "Can you get Lao San to block that guy?"

Before Niu Dao hatched, the third brother only listened to Feng Ling and occasionally interacted with Huangfu Miaomiao, Ye Zheng and others, but after all, his intelligence was limited and he could only understand some simple meanings.

Unlike Niu Dao, it possesses the ability to command thousands of troops from the moment it is born and can communicate with other nest creatures without hindrance.

Ye Zheng said to Niu Dao, "As long as that guy's view is blocked by Lao San, we can take the opportunity to close the distance. People who are good at long-range attacks are not very good at close combat."

To make it easier for Niu Dao to understand, she picked up the arrow from the ground and gestured with her hands.

The weasel looked at Niu Dao with concern, unsure whether Niu Dao could understand Ye Zheng's intentions.

Niu Dao shook the lion's head, its lion eyes gleaming, its muscles tense, and it snorted. Clearly, its anger after the attack was no less than Ye Zheng's.

It stretched out its claws and viciously scratched the ground before charging towards the top of the hill, letting out a long roar!

The crows with human faces in the sky began to stir restlessly!

The drunkard was somewhat puzzled. She glanced up, confident in her mental pressure and not worried that the human-faced crow would break through her mental field. Therefore, she drew her bow again, aiming at the distant cleaver.

Whoosh!
The arrow was as fast as lightning!

Niu Dao was even faster, his feet moving like the wind, instantly dodging the incoming arrows!
"What the hell is this?" The drunkard frowned and reached for a new arrow.

Before she could nock the arrow, the crows had already begun to fly down, one after another, flock after flock, swarming and flying in front of her, obstructing her view, and growing denser and denser.

The drunkard remained silent, then gave a cold laugh.

"Feng Ling's helpers are a bit troublesome, I'll go down and handle them." The drunkard paused, looking down, "Can you manage alone?"

Through several layers of crisscrossing skeletons, Meteor's voice drifted up: "No matter what happens, proceed according to plan."

The drunkard's lips twitched slightly, as if he were smiling, or perhaps just sighing helplessly: "I understand."

She turned and jumped down, landing on a charred piece of broken bone. She paused slightly as she prepared to leave and said, "Meteor, this time I will not run away again."

The shooting star did not respond.

The drunkard flipped off the broken bone and quickly left the core of the mother nest.

The human-faced crow followed him like a shadow. Although it was wary of the mental pressure and could not get close, it was like a huge black wide hat, covering the drunkard from all sides.

"You annoying thing!" The drunkard plunged his feet into the water and slammed his hands onto the surface!

boom!!!
A strange light emanated from her, and a huge skeleton rose from the light, steadily lifting the drunkard onto its back.

The alcoholic's mental pressure surged several times over!
The human-faced crows surrounding her were instantly scattered!
