Primordial Treasure Mirror

On the flying boat.

Lin Huan's expression was very unpleasant:

"I didn't expect there to be a beast tide. This detour will probably take up a lot of time."

Yang Ding spoke as he piloted the flying boat:

"There's nothing we can do about it; it's a matter of life and death. I'm sure Senior Brother Zuo and the others can understand."

Jiang Yanchen looked doubtful:

"If our encounter with the beast tide hadn't been an accident, the other senior brothers and sisters would probably have been in trouble too."

Yang Ding nodded:

"That's right. If someone is manipulating things behind the scenes, chaos will likely break out in all parts of the secret realm. But now is the time to escape the threat of the beast tide and find Senior Brother Zuo and the others as soon as possible."

Lin Huan and the others naturally agreed.

The flying boat had already soared high into the sky and sped off to the side, attempting to bypass the edge of the beast tide.

Su Yang stood at the stern of the boat, the wind whistling past his ears.

The ground below was still shaking, and the shaking was becoming increasingly violent.

However, in the deep darkness, Su Yang still couldn't see the movements in the distance.

Until the airship traveled a certain distance.

Su Yang used his spiritual power to enhance his eyes and finally saw the moving black tide ahead.

The Kuroshio Current is steadily approaching.

Yang Ding had already pushed the speed of the flying boat to its limit, and Su Yang could vaguely see the urgency on his face.

Looking at the black tide ahead, Su Yang couldn't help but feel uneasy:

"We should be able to avoid it, as long as we don't run into the beast tide head-on."

If we were to run head-on into a beast tide.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator like Yang Ding might still have a way to escape.

Su Yang is in grave danger; he will likely face certain death.

The airship was still speeding along at its maximum speed.

Finally, just before the beast tide crashed in, they arrived at the edge of the beast tide.

Su Yang could clearly see hundreds of monsters running wildly ahead.

There are four-legged beasts and birds of prey that fly with outstretched wings.

They were densely packed, like a rolling black river.

Su Yang saw the demonic beasts, and the demonic beasts naturally saw the flying boat as well.

Ground-dwelling beasts posed no threat to the flying boat, but the flying monsters in the sky were a different story. With their bloodshot eyes, they flapped their wings and crashed into it.

Fortunately, most of the flying demonic beasts that crashed into them were first-tier demonic beasts, which were easily killed by Jiang Yanchen and Lin Huan with a few bursts of spiritual light.

It was clear that the airship was about to completely escape the range of the beast tide.

Suddenly, two enormous flying monsters burst out from the side.

Their wingspan is several meters.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black, iron-like scales.

The bird's beak was curved, yet it gleamed coldly in the darkness, clearly possessing something special about it.

"Second-tier monster."

Su Yang's heart sank. He hadn't expected that just when the flying boat was about to be safe, it would be targeted by a second-tier demon beast, which was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment demon beast.

If Yang Ding and his two companions encountered these two second-tier demonic beasts under normal circumstances, they would not be afraid and could kill them in a short time.

But now is the time to race against time.

If they get bogged down by these two Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts and attract even more Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts, they'll be in real danger.

That wasn't all. Li Yunxiu suddenly exclaimed, pointing below the flying boat:

Look there.

Su Yang looked down and saw an even larger four-legged monster suddenly rise from the ground, its huge fleshy wings flapping on both sides, gradually approaching the flying boat.

With its gaping maw wide open, it rammed into the airship.

"Be careful!"

Yang Ding shouted loudly, and at the same time made hand seals. A yellowish-brown light screen suddenly condensed below the flying boat.

The four-legged monster crashed into the light barrier with a deafening roar.

The light curtain trembled violently, but it did not shatter.

But the two flying monsters had already flanked the ship from both sides, their claws and beaks simultaneously reaching down on both sides of the flying boat.

Jiang Yanchen and Lin Huan then made their move.

Jiang Yanchen flicked his finger, and a thin, hair-like beam of blue light shot out from his fingertip.

When it reached mid-air, it suddenly grew larger, transforming into a giant azure python that coiled around the flying demon beast on the left.

Lin Huan drew a crimson longsword, channeled his spiritual power, chanted a few words, and then slashed fiercely to the right.

A giant firebird appeared out of thin air, almost the same size as the giant bird on the right.

The two collided, like two birds of prey fighting for food.

Seeing that the flying monsters on both sides were blocked, Yang Ding's expression relaxed slightly:

"Hold on, junior brothers and sisters, let me slay this demon first!"

The voice just fell.

Yang Ding took out a silver ring-shaped magical artifact.

A burst of silver light erupted from the magical artifact, which he threw out, growing longer in the wind before crashing heavily into the four-legged behemoth.

Just as the four-legged behemoth was about to crash into the airship for the second time, facing the huge silver ring, its crimson eyes neither flinched nor dodged, and it took the silver ring headfirst.

It let out a miserable scream, blood blooming from its head, but then its body crashed into the protective array of the flying boat.

The impact was extremely strong.

The flying boat formation was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Yang Ding was able to control the silver ring artifact again.

This time it wasn't a smash, but rather it grew even larger and wrapped around the neck of the four-legged behemoth.

Then it tightened abruptly.

The four-legged behemoth's neck was being strangled, its eyes bulging out as it struggled incessantly.

However, it was difficult for a second-stage early-stage demon beast to break free from a magical artifact.

Not long after.

The four-legged behemoth fell silent, and its fleshy wings ceased to flutter.

Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, causing a great tremor.

The four-legged behemoth was defeated.

Yang Ding had no chance to rest. He retrieved the silver ring artifact and attacked the two flying demonic beasts again.

With his help.

Jiang Yanchen and Lin Huan finally managed to deal with the two giant birds.

However, the airship had already suffered great damage and looked like it was about to collapse.

Yang Ding didn't even have time to collect the monster corpses before he quickly maneuvered the flying boat to completely escape the beast tide.

They traveled for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The array on the airship could no longer hold and shattered.

Even the light of the aerial control barrier engraved on the hull dimmed.

Yang Ding managed to control the flying boat and landed on a relatively safe flat area.

After everyone disembarked from the flying boat.

He retrieved the flying boat, inspected it carefully, and shook his head with a grim expression:

"It's unusable. The protective array is completely destroyed, and the flight restriction has also been largely damaged. If we force its use, it may disintegrate at any time."

Jiang Yanchen's tone was slightly somber:

"Does that mean we'll have to rely on the wind to travel the rest of the way?"

Yang Ding nodded: "That's right."

Lin Huan looked displeased:

"Why am I so unlucky? Today has been absolutely terrible."

She was already in a bad mood because of her previous injury.

Now that there's no flying boat to travel on, I can only use my spiritual energy to ride the wind, which makes me feel even worse.

She turned and glanced at everyone, her gaze settling on Su Yang, who stood to the side with his head bowed. She spoke in an icy tone:

"In that case, we can no longer keep this servant."

"Next, we will travel by wind. With his cultivation level, he simply cannot keep up with our speed. Carrying him along will only be a burden."

"Let's just leave him here and let him fend for himself."
