"We can't keep going like this. If he runs out of energy, he'll be in grave danger."
Xu Dongjin watched Han Sen fly around and asked, "Queen, do you want us to go and help him?"
Xu Dongjin did not ask this out of kindness. He saw that Han Sen had attracted the attention of many birds. If they climbed the tree now, they might be able to take advantage of the situation. It wouldn't be too risky.
But they had just stood by and watched. If they tried to take advantage of the situation now, it wouldn't be right. So, he asked Queen.
"No need. Within thirty strikes, he will be able to kill the Sky Falcon King," Queen coldly said.
To others, it looked like Han Sen was flying around like a flock of birds. There was no pattern, but to Queen, every time Han Sen flew, he had a goal. It was a perfect setup, and within thirty strikes, he'd be able to complete it. That way, he'd be able to kill the Sky Falcon King.
"Thirty strikes?
I don't think that will be easy. "
Xu Dongjin looked at Han Sen, who was being chased by the flock of birds. He didn't think he'd be able to kill the Sky Falcon King in thirty strikes. He'd be lucky if the flock of birds didn't catch up to him.
Chen Ran watched from the sidelines and did not speak. Compared to Xu Dongjin, Chen Ran was an old man, and he understood a lot more. So, Chen Ran was even more surprised.
"How does this kid know Heavenly Go?
Did the Huangfu family teach someone else?
That's impossible. Huangfu Xiongcheng swore an oath. How could he teach someone else to learn Heavenly Go? "Chen Ran looked at Han Sen strangely.
A few of the more curious evolvers were counting how many strikes Han Sen had made. They did not believe Han Sen would be able to kill the Sky Falcon King in less than thirty strikes.
"Kill!"
But when they counted to twenty-four, they heard Han Sen shout. His two swords struck back without warning. They went straight for the Sky Falcon King.
The Sky Falcon King was extremely fast. It flapped its wings in an attempt to dodge, but after dodging the first strike, it was affected by the flock of birds that flew past it. It was unable to dodge the second strike.
The Silver Snake Sword carried with it a terrifying power as it slashed at the Soaring Falcon King. The Soaring Falcon King was fast, but his body was not that tough. Blood splattered everywhere, and a long gash appeared on his back. He fell to the ground, spitting out blood. It looked like he was not going to survive.
Xu Dongjin and the rest were dumbfounded. Indeed, the Falcon King was killed in just 24 strikes, not 30.
Han Sen dodged the attack of the flock of birds, then turned around and rushed towards the Sky Soaring Falcon King. He did not hear the sound of the kill, so the Sky Soaring Falcon King should still be alive.
The Falcon King fell right in the middle of the treetop. When Han Sen arrived, the Falcon King had just bounced off the treetop.
Han Sen reached out his hand and grabbed the defenseless Falcon King. He used his Yin Force to squeeze it, and an announcement played in his head.
"Sacred-Blood Creature Killed: Sky Soaring Falcon King. No beast soul gained. Consume its flesh to gain a random number of sacred geno points, ranging from zero to ten."
Han Sen did not receive a beast soul, but he was not surprised. The chances of obtaining a beast soul were low, and it would have been strange if he had been able to get one for every sacred-blood creature he killed.
Han Sen was prepared for this, so he did not feel depressed. With the meat of the Falcon King, he was sure to receive at least seven or eight sacred geno points. Being able to get seven or eight sacred geno points in one meal was already a good thing.
Han Sen flew along the treetop, dodging the flock of birds that came swooping down from above. As he did so, he looked into the treetop. His pupils shrank, and he looked shocked.
Through the dense foliage, Han Sen was able to see a bird's nest at the top of the treetop. The nest was not big, and there was nothing special about it.
But inside the nest, there was a black bird that looked like a raven. It was looking at Han Sen coldly. When Han Sen saw the bird's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if if the bird moved, he would be pecked to death.
But the raven bird remained in its nest. It didn't move, and it watched him fly away from the tree. It didn't move, either.
Han Sen was drenched in cold sweat. He had only seen the bird's eyes, but Han Sen could tell how strong and scary it was. It was definitely a super creature.
Han Sen felt like he should burn some incense and thank God. He was so close to a super creature, and yet it did not attack him. It was a miracle.
But Han Sen thought about it and felt something was wrong. He was only a few meters away from the raven super creature, and he could not have been more than ten meters away. There was no reason the raven would not attack him.
"Unless the raven is immobile."
Han Sen thought, "Is the raven still hatching? Is that why it did not attack me?"
Han Sen could not think of any other possibilities. But that was not important to Han Sen. What was important was that they leave this place as soon as possible. If the raven was able to leave its nest, they would be in trouble.
Han Sen flew in a circle in the air, and then returned to Queen. He shouted, "Run! There is a scary creature on the treetop!"
As he spoke, he retracted his wings and rushed down the mountain.
Queen didn't hesitate, either. She followed him.
"Are you kidding me? If there is a powerful creature up there, do you think you can make it back alive?" Xu Dongjin did not believe him.
Chen Ran frowned. Just as he was contemplating whether or not he should leave, he heard a bird's cry. It sounded like the cawing of a raven.
Caw! Caw!
Accompanied by that unpleasant and ear-piercing cry, a completely black crow flew out from the crown of the tree. The moment the crow flew out, the tens of thousands of birds in the sky suddenly quieted down. One by one, they fell back onto the divine tree, shivering, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Only the raven-like creature was gliding in the air with its wings spread wide open. Its cold, heartless, and cruel eyes were staring at them coldly.
"Go!"
Chen Ran felt a chill run down his spine. Without hesitation, he gave the order and ran down the mountain.
Xu Dongjin and the others did not hesitate. They all followed Chen Ran as fast as they could.
The raven was not in a rush to swoop down. It glided through the sky and coldly watched Han Sen and the others as they ran away. Its eyes were full of mockery.
Ruthlessness and cruelty were written all over its eyes. The entire Heavenly Pillar Mountain seemed to have become silent under its bird cry.
