Ye Ling couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. Even if he tried to explain it to Hong Xiu and the others, they probably wouldn’t understand what he found so amusing.
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Ling suppressed his laughter.
“Teacher Hong, it’s nothing. I just thought of something funny.”
Hearing this, Hong Xiu was momentarily stunned. Though she found it strange, she quickly let it go.
On the other hand, the Frost Giant Bear felt a wave of malice directed at its soul. Following the source of this malice, it saw Ye Ling.
“Was this guy laughing at me just now? What’s so funny? Is he crazy?” the Frost Giant Bear thought, pursing its lips.
It only acted so timidly in front of Yun Yi. When facing others, it was quite bold.
“They’re coming. Get ready for battle!” Li Yuehai said in a low voice.
Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, very calm.
Upon hearing her, Ye Ling and Yun Yi immediately became alert, watching the approaching swarm of Black Ravens.
Black Ravens, a First Rank demon species that lived in groups, were generally only First Rank Fourth Level at most. However, compared to other demons, they had a significant advantage: their sheer numbers.
Black Ravens didn’t have any special skills, but their beaks and claws were extremely sharp and could easily tear through flesh. If they attacked an airship en masse, even the sturdiest airship wouldn’t hold out for long.
The leader of the Black Ravens, known as the Black Raven King, was a Second Rank demon, albeit a lower-level one. It could easily control all the Black Ravens, commanding them to do anything, even suicidal attacks.
Even for Li Yuehai, this was the first time encountering such a large swarm of Black Ravens on an air route.
“Caw! Caw! Caw!”
The incessant cawing of countless Black Ravens was deafening.
“Why did these things suddenly appear? Who knows where they flew in from,” Hong Xiu muttered, frowning in obvious distaste for the Black Ravens.
Even without any special skills, their incessant cawing was extremely annoying. With so many of them, the noise was even more unbearable.
“They’re here. Begin… the attack!” Li Yuehai took the lead but did not summon her Spiritual Pet. Instead, a flame suddenly appeared in her right hand, which she hurled fiercely at the approaching Black Ravens.
“Boom!”
A fireball the size of a basketball shot out, hitting the leading Black Ravens and exploding violently. The explosion took out the leading Black Ravens and those around them.
The surrounding Black Ravens scattered, trying to avoid the blast.
“Teacher Hong has already started. Let’s begin as well,” Lu Feng said to the students around him on the Azure Dragon Academy airship.
It wasn’t just Azure Dragon Academy; the situation was similar on the White Tiger Academy and Black Tortoise Academy airships.
“Xian’er, Shengnan, get ready for battle. Remember to protect yourselves. If you can’t hold out, call me,” Huo Ling said, standing confidently at the front with her arms crossed.
Her strength allowed her to look down on such a large swarm of Black Ravens.
“Yes!” Huo Xian’er and Zhang Shengnan both summoned their Spiritual Pets.
Back on the Vermilion Bird Academy airship, Yun Yi gave an order to the Frost Giant Bear.
“Big Bear! Frost Breath!”
Following its master’s command, the Frost Giant Bear roared towards the sky.
“Roar!!”
The Frost Giant Bear then unleashed a blast of white frost at the approaching Black Ravens. The leading Black Ravens had no time to dodge and were instantly frozen into ice.
The frozen Black Ravens and those around them were also caught in the frost, turning into ice blocks.
Frozen Black Ravens couldn’t maintain flight and, propelled by inertia, flew a short distance before plummeting straight to the ground.
“Crash!”
“Crash!”
One by one, the frozen Black Ravens shattered upon hitting the ground.
Just as Ye Ling was about to take action, he suddenly received a system notification.
“Limited-time task issued: Eliminate as many Black Ravens as possible within ten minutes. Rewards are unknown and will be determined based on the final result. The more Black Ravens eliminated, the greater the reward.”
A system task at this moment? Ye Ling’s eyes lit up.
It was like someone offering a pillow when you were sleepy. He couldn’t pass up this reward.
Moreover, the reward was based on the number of Black Ravens he eliminated, which greatly boosted Ye Ling’s enthusiasm.
“Blood Phantom, we can’t fall behind. Go all out. These weaklings are no match for you.”
