The spell managed to resolve the danger the group was in. Zhao Manyan Summoned another wave and sent them closer to the island.

Jiang Shaoxu used her Psychic Element to stop the harassment from another group of Manta Ray Evil Birds in the sky. They finally made it ashore!

Mo Fan explained why he had left on his own. “It’s unwise to be blindly righteous sometimes. If I don’t save myself first, we were all done for!”

“It’s fine, I’m going to say the same thing to you when you need my protection,” Zhao Manyan said in return.

“Ugh, if revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it?” Mo Fan could not find a better response.

“Enough chatting, do you think we are safe after making it to the island? Take a look around you! Do those creatures look like they are going to spare our lives?” Jiang Shaoxu pointed at the sea.

Mo Fan’s Electro Cannon had been extremely effective. Not only did it kill a lot of Manta Ray Evil Birds, it had also resolved the dangerous situation. However, it had infuriated the remaining Manta Ray Evil Birds. Those who were not caught by the Electro Cannon soared into the sky from the water and came right at them.

The creatures pursuing them relentlessly were not the scariest. When Mo Fan and the others looked deeper into the island, they noticed countless pairs of sapphire eyes appearing from the woods.

“Those we saw weren’t all of them?” Zhao Manyan was about to go crazy.

Did these creatures have nothing better to do other than mate? How did they possibly give birth to so many offspring in just a few years? Was the Featherless Bird Emperor’s name Xu Fu instead?

“These must be the Greater Featherless Birds. Their bodies are dark red!” Chen Shuo noticed.

Their sapphire eyes were brighter than the eyes of the Manta Ray Evil Birds, and their wings were around eight meters long when fully extended. Their smooth, dark red skin had the sheen of an icy metallic surface, not to mention their pointy heads and jagged wings. They looked far nobler and stronger than the Manta Ray Evil Birds!

“We are truly being surrounded now,” Jiang Shaoxu pointed out.

“Plans are always f**king lies!” Zhao Manyan grumbled.

Their plan was to put the Manta Ray Evil Birds into hibernation so they could strut through the island, take care of the Greater Featherless Birds, and accomplish their mission. The reality was, the mission’s difficulty was more than a level harder than they had expected. It was like they had accidentally chosen Hell Mode when they picked the dungeon. The numbers of the Manta Ray Evil Birds were unreasonably high.

It was not like they had never fought so many demon creatures at once, but these Manta Ray Evil Birds were surprisingly strong. Even Mo Fan’s Electro Cannon could only kill a limited number of them!

“Luckily, your Miss Tangyue lured a portion of them away. I wonder if she’s in any kind of danger,” Zhao Manyan suddenly remembered.

“Don’t you worry about that,” Mo Fan answered, pointing at the trees ahead. An alluring figure was slowly appearing from the darkness, heading in their direction.

Zhao Manyan glanced in that direction. His face darkened when he saw Tangyue.

He looked to the other side. As he expected, the Manta Ray Evil Birds which Tangyue was supposed to lure away seemed to have found a new target, and were flying toward them relentlessly. The whole sky had darkened from their numbers, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony.

There was only so much Tangyue could do to keep the creatures busy. She too could not stay in the water or sky for too long, since she was more used to fighting on land. She immediately regrouped with Mo Fan and the others after they successfully came ashore.

“Their numbers are too much for us. If they were just a sheet of loose sand, we might be able to drive them away with a Super Spell, but these creatures are surprisingly brave,” Tangyue told them.

She had realized that Dawn Island was much scarier than she thought after coming here. She could not help but wonder what resources the creatures relied on to reproduce so quickly. The ocean world was indeed unpredictable!

“Head to the emergency outpost, it’s built with a kind of metal that the Manta Ray Evil Birds are scared of. We can seek shelter there and figure out a plan,” Chen Shuo told them.

“Lead the way then!” Zhao Manyan said.

They might be able to handle the Manta Ray Evil Birds that were chasing after them, but they no longer stood a chance if the Manta Ray Evil Birds which Tangyue lured away returned too, not to mention the fact that the Manta Ray Crimson Birds were on the move as well. Even Mo Fan would struggle to take them all out, even if he could fire his spells at will until his energy was depleted.

Chen Shuo had the Wind and Plant Elements. His speed was quite impressive. It felt like he had returned to his true home after entering the woods. He wove through the strange trees blocking their path nimbly and even used the dense trees to shake off the Manta Ray Evil Birds behind them.

“It’s just ahead!” Chen Shuo said.

The whole island basically consisted of tall trees with plenty of leaves. It felt like they had entered a maze of trees with no way of telling their direction. However, Chen Shuo seemed extremely familiar with their surroundings. They went past a slope and arrived at a little basin. They saw a structure with a gray-white roof covered in vines and weeds. The structure was in the shape of a rhombus!

“I thought it was an enormous Manta Ray Evil Bird, it scared the crap out of me!” Zhao Manyan nearly shrieked after glancing into the basin.

The emergency outpost obviously resembled a Manta Ray Evil Bird. The group quickly made their way down and noticed some dilapidated fences and wire netting.

“They are coming!”

Tangyue looked up and saw the sky was filled with the Manta Ray Evil Birds. It felt like the whole sky was shrouded by the creatures, especially when their sapphire eyes were looking down at them…

“Go inside, quick, they won’t dive at us!” Chen Shuo told the group confidently.

Chen Shuo led the group to the entrance. They immediately ran inside the rhombus-shaped building. The place was abandoned, but it was not completely run-down. It was a safe enclosed space. The Manta Ray Evil Birds would have to break through the walls and the roof to reach them.

The loud noises were making the group uncomfortable. The Manta Ray Evil Birds circled the sky above the building, but not a single one of them dove down at it after five minutes had passed.
