Chapter 3094 The Grand River Fortress

Led by Zen, everyone flew down hard in a huge arc.

They had done their best to avoid these strange black birds but they could not seem to shake them. They were getting closer and closer to the ground now and running out of space fast.

A little over 2 minutes later and they were almost forced to the ground now, still with the black birds hovering above them like grim reapers awaiting their moment.

"Dig into the ground!" someone suggested in a panic.

"That's suicide!" another yelled, shutting the idea down immediately.

Not only would it be hard to move underground, any black bird could just come into the hole and kill whoever was down there. It was like digging one's own grave.

"We fight!"

"We'll kill all these bastard birds!"

The warriors were beginning to lose their minds. They wielded their swords and swung them in the air viciously. Their sword radiance began interweaving and forming a thin net.

This began to injure and kill some of the strange black birds. At least, they had mounted some sort of defense for the time being.

But if one bird were to escape through the sword net, many would die from the explosion it would cause.

In such a short time, so many of their group had died.

Zen had an idea of his own. He flew close to the ground and kicked himself off a rock, shooting himself into the air. He swung his sword, radiating a tiny white light around himself.

"Puff! Puff! Puff..."

With just his one attack, it seemed hundreds of these menacing birds had been killed.

But it was just a drop in the ocean.

"What?" Zen exclaimed, disappointed at how little of a difference he had made.

A black bird managed to escape and landed not far from Zen.

Zen felt the power within the black bird and knew he was in trouble. He rushed to get away from it, jumping wildly and falling into multiple somersaults.

"Bang!"

A terrifying stream of energy exploded behind Zen, sending a huge shockwave to hit him square in the back.

That was the power of over a hundred divine megatons.

Zen successfully avoided the energy stream, but the shockwave still hit him at close range. It felt like having whole mountains crash into him.

He was sent flying a thousand feet away, which sent a searing pain into his back and the taste of blood in his throat.

His injuries might not have been too severe, but

ck birds.

"Wow!"

The fainted black birds immediately caught fire. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of these birds had ignited into a sea of blazing inferno, burning to nothingness.

"The Grand River Fortress is right up ahead. Come with us!"

They left their words hanging as they turned and galloped, back to the boats with no intention of helping anyone else get there.

Everyone followed closely behind the boats, struggling to hide their feeling of disrespect from their faces.

They had flown thousands of miles to the Mountain Viewing Province and fought for the human race, but ended up in the clutches of these black birds. They didn't even receive any words of comfort or reassurance that they were fine.

Zen maintained a state of calm.

No matter what, he was still alive, and that was good enough.

But it seemed that the situation in the Mountain Viewing Province was far more complicated than he had expected.

Gant too remained calm despite what had just happened. But he had survived. He lowered his head and thought about something else to keep his mind from the life-threatening situation he had been in just now.

After flying for five hundred miles, a magnificent fortress appeared in front of everyone, greeted with many pairs of dazzled eyes.

However, the most attractive thing was not the fortress itself, but the nine gigantic swords inserted at the back of it!

Zen had seen such swords before. They were the same as the Lofty Sword in the Sword Light Palace. The difference was that there were nine swords here!
