"Where did they come from? It feels like they just suddenly appeared in the sky?" Ai Jiangtu frowned, his military background making him keenly aware that something was amiss.
The Nazca Strange Birds in the sky looked as if they were carved from the same mold, and they always felt like they lacked the spiritual essence of life.
"Who cares where they came from? They'll all be burned to ashes in front of Grandpa Mo!"
Mo Fan shouted, and the fiery dragons erupted once more.
Nine fiery dragons swam agilely across the sky, taking a while to eliminate the thousands of Nazca Strange Birds.
Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, believing the Nazca Strange Birds would no longer appear,
more than ten minutes passed.
"Screech!!!!!!"
The Nazca Strange Birds appeared again!
This time, their numbers reached seven to eight thousand!
"What the hell?? Why does it feel like they're inexhaustible???" Mo Fan looked bewildered.
"They are inexhaustible; the more you kill, the more there will be," Jiang Yuan said.
"Huh?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Jiang Yuan explained, "The legend of Nazca is like this: once you anger the Nazca God, you will be chased by an endless swarm of Nazca demons. Initially, there are only dozens, but then more and more appear. No one knows the ultimate limit, but it is said that the largest scale once saw a million demons."
"That's impossible, right? A million demons are equivalent to a demon empire!" Ai Jiangtu uncharacteristically showed a look of surprise and doubt.
The others also had shocked expressions.
Jiang Yuan did not explain further but instead used Spatial Magic to eliminate all the Nazca Strange Birds attacking from above.
Earlier, Mo Fan's flames had burned them completely, so they hadn't seen where the Nazca Strange Birds' remains went.
This time, under Spatial Magic, they finally saw clearly: after Death, those Nazca Strange Birds disappeared like phantoms!
That's right, they just vanished!
"No, these Nazca Strange Birds are definitely not ordinary demons!" Ai Jiangtu said gravely.
"Is there really a Nazca God? Damn it, we just came here for a walk, how did we anger him!?" Mo Fan looked around, as if there really was some god nearby.
The fourth wave of Nazca Strange Birds was quickly eliminated by Jiang Yuan.
This time, everyone remained vigilant, constantly watching the changes in the sky, not averting their gaze even after more than half an hour had passed.
Sure enough, a patch of blue-green clouds appeared out of nowhere in the sky not far away—it was those Nazca Strange Birds!!
This time, their numbers reached tens of thousands!
As they flew in flocks, they resembled blue-green clouds gradually engulfing the sky!
"It really is the more you kill, the more there are. Are we only allowed not to fight back? But the number of these Nazca Strange Birds is already one or two tens of thousands, isn't it? Just standing there letting them attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out." Ai Jiangtu's expression was solemn, and he was already prepared to attack.
The others were likewise, their magic radiance gradually blooming around them, ready to launch an offensive at any moment.
"Don't panic; I know how to deal with them," Jiang Yuan said.
He used Spatial Magic again, relying on his spiritual power to search for individuals with iridescent crests among the Nazca Strange Birds.
Each time he found and killed one, a large number of Nazca Strange Birds would suddenly disappear.
In Mo Fan and the others' eyes, large swathes of Nazca Strange Birds vanished, and soon the sky returned to a scene of blue sky and white clouds.
Seeing this, Mo Fan's jaw dropped in astonishment.
Tens of thousands of Nazca Strange Birds just vanished like that?
For the next hour or so, they didn't have to worry about being harassed by Nazca Strange Birds.
Jiang Yuan continued to play with the blue crystal ball in his hand while leading the team towards the head of the giant Nazca Strange Bird painting.
This crystal ball was the eye part of the head; the appearance of the Nazca Strange Birds was because the giant painting's eye had been stolen, which was why they locked onto Jiang Yuan.
However, Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry to return it; he still wanted to get some clues about secret arts from the crystal ball.
Unfortunately, he hadn't found anything yet.
If he could obtain the secret art that allowed the Nazca Strange Birds to divide into thousands, combined with his own abilities, he would become even stronger.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone had been trekking on the giant painting for a very long time.
There was nothing here but stones, no other suspicious objects, not even a single demon was seen.
During this time, the Nazca Strange Birds attacked once more, numbering tens of thousands, but under Jiang Yuan's intervention, they were easily dealt with.
It wasn't until everyone reached the eye part of the giant painting that they saw a very obvious concave groove.
"Is something missing here?" Mo Fan walked over, examined it carefully, then turned to look at the blue crystal ball in Jiang Yuan's hand, hesitating, "This groove seems to be the same size as the blue crystal ball in your hand. Why don't you try putting the blue crystal ball in and see, Old Jiang?"
Jiang Yuan pretended not to know anything: "It is indeed a very suitable size; I'll give it a try."
He placed the blue crystal ball into the groove; it fit perfectly, without any misalignment.
The moment it was put in, the ground seemed to brighten, which everyone just took as a more pronounced reflection of sunlight.
"That's strange, how can it be so perfect? I've been wanting to ask for a long time, Old Jiang, where did you get that blue crystal ball? You've been holding it and fiddling with it since the day before yesterday." Mo Fan squatted down, looking at the crystal ball emitting a blue glow under the sunlight, and said.
"I went out for a stroll a few days ago and bought it from a stall. They said it was a Nazca treasure and charged me a few million," Jiang Yuan said.
"A few million for a broken crystal ball? You're really burning money, damn it! If you can't spend your money, you can give it to me. I'll help you spend it, and I guarantee your wallet will be cleaner than your butt!!!" Mo Fan said with a pained and fierce expression.
He had so many magic elements to support; even several hundred million wouldn't be enough!
"This crystal ball is indeed extraordinary. I've tried attacking it with High-Level magic, and there isn't a single scratch. It truly is a treasure," Jiang Yuan said.
Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, everyone realized the extraordinary nature of this crystal ball.
Jiang Yuan's High-Level magic could effortlessly slaughter Commander-level demons like chickens, which meant this crystal was at least beyond the High-Level tier.
Super-Level treasure?
Everyone gathered around and observed with Mo Fan, but after a long time, they still couldn't figure it out.
Mo Fan simply took the blue crystal ball out of the groove again.
In an instant, the cries of the Nazca Strange Birds rang out again and again and again.
"Screech~~~!!!"
Everyone looked up; the number of those strange birds was already uncountable, forming a blue-green typhoon cloud layer above their heads.
It was a magnificent and spectacular sight, clearly visible even from tens of thousands of meters away!
"Holy crap!" Mo Fan was startled, and the crystal ball in his hand dropped back into the groove.
In that very instant, those Nazca Strange Birds vanished without a trace.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, it was completely empty!
