The dingbirds were about three meters long, completely dark blue, with long beaks and sharp claws. Their eyes were like rubies.
Their wings were extremely long, but they had no feathers. The most amazing thing was that their wings were wrapped in a layer of light blue glow.
They were so fast they looked like green lightning.
Brenton's face was deathly pale. It was his first time encountering dingbirds, and he had only heard about how scary they were.
But, seeing them with his own eyes, he truly felt the terror of the dingbirds.
They were really too fast!
The card artisans who were known for their speed were like snails in front of them.
Dingbirds were carnivorous creatures that lived in groups, and they often hunted in groups.
Their claws were extremely sharp and could easily pierce through the thick flesh of a striped rhinoceros.
The most terrifying thing was their high-speed charge. If you got hit, you would certainly die. Their weight was similar to a shuttle car, and their speed was who knew how many times faster than a shuttle car!
Everyone was ready for battle, including Chen Mu.
That wasn't the time to hide their strength.
Everyone's hearts sank after witnessing the speed of that flock of dingbirds, and they didn't dare to be negligent.
Fast wild beasts were the ones that gave people the most headaches. They had come into contact with quite a few wild beasts during that time, but none of them could compare to the dingbirds.
The flock of dingbirds had clearly discovered them.
They could only see the dingbirds fold their wings and suddenly climb. The card artisans familiar with birds all understood that was a sign they were about to launch an attack.
Sure enough, the flock of dingbirds that had finished climbing immediately launched their attack.
Hong, hong, hong!
The power of the dingbirds' attack was frightening, carrying with it the sound of wind and thunder!
Dozens of dingbirds collectively swooped down toward them. Their wings spread and folded, and their whole bodies contracted like a sharp arrow. Their long beaks were the arrowheads, and their speed abruptly increased!
What was even more frightening was that in front of the high-speed swooping dingbirds floated a pale green conical energy cloak. As they continued to accelerate, the color of the conical energy cloak deepened.
"Lu Xiaoru!" Bogner, who had always been calm, shouted with a serious expression.
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Xiaoru responded, but she didn't immediately move. Her eyes were fixed on the rapidly approaching dingbirds.
She was wearing a standard women's battle uniform, looking indescribably valiant.
It was the most common battle uniform in the Heavenly Drum Village District, each costing 300,000 Oudi. It had excellent stretch and could withstand a certain degree of energy attack.
This was what Xi Ping had purchased in Portilman Town.
Compared to before, her skin was much darker.
This did not dim her countenance. On the contrary, she gained some of Cassuo's ability and determination.
After constant training and battles, she was a completely different person from the Lu Xiaoru who only knew how to enjoy and curry favor.
She was now a pure and outstanding card artisan.
Her concentration was high, and the speed of the dingbirds seemed to slow down a lot in her eyes. She ignored the sound of wind and thunder brought about by the charging dingbirds. Her attention was unprecedentedly focused.
She knew that when dealing with such a high-speed beast, even the slightest bit of carelessness could be fatal.
Her pupils dilated. Now was the time!
His right hand, which had been waiting for a long time, quietly rose.
High frequency sound!
Buzz!
At a frequency undetectable by the human ear, a high-frequency sound wave was vibrating!
The scene in front of everyone began to distort and tremble slightly. This was the effect of high-frequency sound waves interfering with the air.
However, this was only a side effect. The truly terrifying part of this move was the invisible and intangible infrasound vibration!
Swooping down like sharp arrows, the dingbirds plunged headfirst into the area shrouded in high-frequency sound waves.
"Croak!" "Croak!" "Croak!"
The dingbirds screamed in panic. The infrasound ignored their steel-like skin and bones and directly caused terrifying damage to them!
Boom!
The few dingbirds at the very front were suddenly attacked by the infrasound. In their panic, they lost control of their bodies!
Their speed was really too fast. Losing control, they smashed hard into the ground.
The rest of the dingbirds were startled and rushed to control their bodies. Although they didn't smash into the ground, their formation was a mess.
The green cone-shaped energy cloaks in front of their bodies disappeared in an instant.
"Attack!" Bogner spat out the two words coldly.
Xiu, xiu, xiu!
The energy shuttles launched by the set of cards emitted strange whistles. The whistles of countless energy shuttles gathered together and, like a huge wave, swallowed up the flock of dingbirds.
Puff, puff, puff!
In the sky, countless flowers of blood bloomed, and the energy shuttles left bloody holes in the bodies of the dingbirds.
Only the wings, which were wrapped in a layer of green light, were mostly unscathed.
Chen Mu, Wei-ah, and Xiaobo didn't make a move. The other card artisans opened fire in unison.
Countless energy bodies of various colors shot into the sky. Among them, the most gorgeous was the bar-browed man's Cross.
The bright red cross-shaped energy body imprinted on the dingbirds' bodies was certainly a cross-shaped wound.
Compared to the bloody holes created after the energy shuttles hit, the cross-shaped wound bled more than three times faster.
In the face of such concentrated firepower, the flock of dingbirds suffered a devastating blow!
There was a mournful cry. Suddenly, a dingbird in the sky, covered in bloody holes and teetering on the verge of collapse, suddenly flapped its wings and dived down!
The pale green cone-shaped energy cloak once again appeared in front of the dingbird.
The expressions of the card artisans below changed. Without any command, most of the firepower immediately shot toward the dingbird, which was fighting like a cornered beast!
Pa, pa, pa!
The energy shuttles hit the cone-shaped energy cloak and lit up balls of light.
What caused everyone's expressions to change was that apart from being a little dimmer, the pale green cone-shaped energy cloak was unscathed.
A few other energy shuttles hit the back half of the dingbird's body, leaving a string of bloody holes. But the dingbird's speed didn't slow in the slightest.
"Careful!"
The unforeseen event happened so quickly that most people didn't have time to react.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, and it was extremely clear amidst the tide-like whistling sound!
It was Chen Mu. He finally couldn't help but make a move!
The tailless shuttles that had been spinning merrily between his fingers left his hand and turned into a beam of flowing light, hitting the cone-shaped energy cloak protecting the dingbird's head.
Pa!
The cone-shaped energy cloak finally couldn't withstand the blow and turned into a cloud of fragmented light, disappearing with a jolt from the high-speed passing air.
By then, the dingbird had finally plunged into the crowd.
"Ah!" There was a mournful scream, and everyone's expression changed!
A card artisan's body had been completely pierced through, and his flesh was a mess.
Everyone's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Without any warning, the overwhelming energy shuttles shot madly at the dingbird!
In the blink of an eye, the dingbird had been shot into a pile of minced meat.
Boom!
Two more dingbirds struggled and swooped down.
Chen Mu's expression was cold, and the movements of his hands were extremely fast. The tailless shuttles fired three times in a row, accurately hitting the first dingbird.
The first tailless shuttle, the dingbird's cone-shaped energy cloak, was nearly dull.
The second tailless shuttle, the cone-shaped energy cloak, shattered without any suspense.
The third energy shuttle hit the dingbird's head with perfect accuracy, leaving a bloody hole.
The dingbird's jewel-like eyes immediately dimmed, and its uncontrollable body smashed into the crowd like a shooting star due to inertia.
One of the card artisans had the worst luck. He was smashed head-on and was immediately seriously injured.
The second dingbird was stopped by Xiaobo.
In midair, dozens of amber flowing lights suddenly appeared out of thin air. The flowing lights were like living things, firmly entangling the dingbird.
The dingbird and the cone-shaped energy cloak in front of it were entangled together, tightly entangled.
Entanglement!
The amber flowing lights were like razor-sharp blades, entangling and entangling.
With a light pop, the cone-shaped energy cloak was the first to shatter. Without its protection, the dingbird was gently twisted by the amber flowing lights and dismembered, turning into dozens of pieces that smashed onto the ground.
The dingbirds in the sky had finally been cleared, but everyone didn't relax. They shot at the still-struggling dingbirds until they were sure they were completely dead.
The battle had been very short, but the danger during it had far surpassed anything they had encountered before.
No one had thought the dingbirds' temperaments would be so ruthless.
The strength of the cone-shaped energy cloak they produced was far beyond anyone's imagination.
The energy shuttles fired by the card set couldn't shatter it. If Chen Mu and Xiaobo hadn't made a move, the consequences would undoubtedly have been more terrifying.
Still, the biggest credit for the battle wasn't Chen Mu or Xiaobo but Lu Xiaoru. If it hadn't been for the miraculous effect of her infrasonic waves, they would have suffered heavy casualties in the battle.
Carefully examining the dingbird's corpse on the ground, Bogner's expression turned ugly. "Its skin is very hard, and its wings can form an energy layer. No wonder it's so fast!
Its cone-shaped energy cloak must have been the effect of its long beak. "
Bogner used his foot to kick the dingbird's long beak on the ground, which was extremely hard.
Having survived a disaster, Brenton looked at Chen Mu and the others with incomparable adoration. That brief battle had just given him a shock he had never felt before.
That was a flock of dingbirds, with dozens of them. Unless it was a specialized team of battle card artisans, it wouldn't bode well for an ordinary team of card artisans to encounter it.
That team had only sacrificed one person to wipe out a complete flock of dingbirds.
"The dingbird's beak and claws, as well as the skin of its wings, are all rare materials that can be sold for a good price.
If the wing skin of a dingbird were used on a shuttle car, it would increase the speed of the shuttle car quite a bit.
The beak and claws are both outstanding card making materials, but I'm not a card master, so I don't really understand, "Brenton said with some envy.
There were at least 30 dingbird corpses on the ground. That was a pretty generous haul!
It was enough to make anyone's heart race.
There wasn't any joy on Chen Mu's face. No one would be in a good mood to see that mangled card artisan.
After experiencing that initial period of actual combat, they rarely had any more casualties.
Injuries happened often, but with Sue Lochiro there, they had all survived.
They hadn't thought there would be casualties as soon as they entered the Heavenly Drum Village District.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.
If it hadn't been for Lu Xiaoru's infrasonic waves and they had followed their usual battle pattern, the consequences would have been …
