Chapter 241: The bird of death (1)
Translator: 549690339
Thousands of players might seem like a lot when gathered together, but it was nothing if they were scattered across the various regions of the New World of deities and demons.
It had only been five minutes since Jiang He left the safe zone, but the other Beastmasters were nowhere to be seen.
On the other hand, the sky of the New World of deities and demons was always dark and oppressive, dark purple in color. The land under their feet was barren and desolate, with weeds growing everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of decay, and from time to time, various eerie howls could be heard from the distance.
“This is still considered the edge of the safety zone. The ghosts, monsters, and ferocious beasts have been cleared regularly. The area in front of us has a large number of skeleton birds. They’ll be our training targets.”
Jiang He said to his familiar while looking at the map.
He wanted to hunt a commander-tier monster. After all, a commander-tier monster was worth 100 points, which was ten times more than a warrior-level ninth-tier familiar!
Moreover, the purple Moon also had the ability to fight above its rank.
Unfortunately, in order to ensure the safety of the participants, they were forbidden from going to other areas.
“Meow~”
Zirai snorted lazily, but a strong desire was hidden in the depths of her sapphire-like eyes.
Battle made it happy.
Mingyue, in the form of a small water droplet, had a sullen face.
This kind of dirty and gloomy environment really didn’t pique its interest.
How could it be as fun as the arcade?
Forget it, I’ll just meditate!
When would he be able to create a game world with his mind ...
“Master, there’s a flock of skeleton birds approaching at high speed. 500 meters, 400 meters ...”
Suddenly, the mechanical magic that had been in charge of detecting information in the vicinity let out a hurried electronic mechanical voice.
Soon, Jiang He saw a flock of skeleton birds in the dark sky in the distance.
These skeleton birds only had white bones on their bodies, not a single drop of flesh and blood. Their eye sockets were filled with pale white flames, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey were flying in his direction at a very fast speed.
The target seemed to be very clear, and that was him!
“What the hell? Did he just poke the nest of the skeletal bird?”
Jiang He was stunned for a moment before he recalled that his third-ranked familiar talent was the nature child.
The thick life aura he was exuding was no less than the meat of a monk in the eyes of these ghost familiars.
The skeletal birds swarmed toward Jiang He because they had smelled the “fragrance” on him.
The two leading skeleton birds were a few times larger than the other skeleton birds, and a dark blue will-o ‘-the-wisp was burning between their bones.
It was the skeleton bird’s evolved form, the bird of death.
<Name> Bird of death
[Attribute] undead, ghost
<Rank> Battle general level 9
<Potential> low commander
[Skills] bone reconstruction, kiss of death, dive, scream, ghost claw, undead charge
<Introduction> an evolved form of the skeleton bird. It lives in areas with a strong aura of death. Even if its bones are broken, it can quickly regenerate. The ‘Will-O-Wisp’ on its body is actually a phenomenon of burning life.
[Emotion] hunger: 90 (it really wants to eat you)
“Is it that exciting?”
Looking at the approaching flock of skeleton birds, Jiang He was not shocked. Instead, he was happy.
“Purple Moon, shadow form, kill the two bird of death leaders.”
“Mingyue, use raging waves and endless life!”
“Yiyi, use the fire vortex!”
Jiang He gave an order to his three familiars through telepathy, and then his eyes turned cold.
“Jiang Yuan, activate the big sword form!”
“Got it, master!”
Silver metal and ice-blue energy flowed out of the Rubik’s Cube. With the surging flames, the two forged together and quickly extended at the same time.
Soon, a five-meter-long Frostmourne sword, surrounded by icy wind and emitting a cold air, quietly floated in front of Jiang He, like Frostmourne that had been sealed for a long time, waiting for a hero to wake it up again.
Just as Jiang He gave the order, the two leaders of the birds of death took the lead in attacking.
With a sharp and ear-piercing whistle, the two birds of death swooped down quickly toward Jiang He.
When they were less than 10 meters away from Jiang He, a Black Phantom claw flashed by.
The two bird of death leaders were instantly sent flying by a powerful force, and their bones were shattered into pieces. However, under the guidance of a strange force, the broken bones began to reform.
At this moment, the shadow energy that was attached to it suddenly exploded!
BOOM!
Along with the sound of the explosion, the bones of the two bird of death leaders were completely broken. The shock wave of the shadow energy explosion turned their bones into a pile of broken bones, unable to be reassembled. They were dead.
Instant flash + Shadow Claw.
Two profound meanings of Grandmaster level.
Extreme speed and extreme attack.
These two birds of death did not die in vain.
However, this did not stop the other skeleton birds from charging forward. Hundreds of skeleton birds were like a white tide, crushing toward Jiang He from the sky.
These undead creatures did not have any feelings of fear, only the desire for Jiang and their “bodies.”
However, they were greeted by a 20-meter-high wave.
Raging waves!
The Water-type energy was pushed to the extreme by the Dragon Spirit, which was enough to support the use of this surmounting skill.
The White torrent and the blue wave collided.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe powerful impact instantly shattered many skeleton birds, and their bones scattered on the ground.
An ordinary skeleton bird did not have the powerful ability to regenerate bones like the bird of death. If a few bones fell off, they could still be put back together, but after all the bones were scattered, the White soul Fire in its eyes also died out.
Of course, there were also a few skeleton birds that were lucky enough to survive the stormy waves. They continued to charge at Jiang He without fear of death.
They were greeted by extremely high temperature flames, ginger, and a five-meter long giant sword.
After a month of training, during which Jiang He had even gone to night Saber Willow to fleece them twice, the robotic Rubik’s Cube had grown into a warrior-level familiar.
Combined with Jiang He’s Frost Sword technique, it was very easy for him to kill subdued beasts of battle general-level and below, as if he was cutting vegetables.

Ghost hunting Festival preparation platform.
The four tutelary and the staff members in charge of the ghost-hunting ceremony, including ainsheng Kyosuke, were staring at a huge light screen that was tens of meters long.
This huge projection-like screen was the cherry blossom Demon’s Eye of nature. Through the cherry blossom petals on the contestants ‘bodies, it could see their surroundings in real time.
“Old Xu, the quality of our batch’s Onmyoji is really not good. Your East Xia Onmyoji are still the best.”
Yosuke ainsheng said to a middle-aged man with a square face beside him. The man was Xu Mo, a high-ranking official of the Dong Xia country’s supervision Bureau. He had been invited to be the Chief Judge of the ghost hunting Festival.
At this moment, it could be seen through the screen that many of the Beastmasters from long Ying Kingdom had just set off when they encountered ghosts, monsters, and fierce beasts that they couldn’t handle, and had no choice but to activate the green-blue protection on their bodies.
Thick, dark-green vines rose from the ground, surrounding and protecting The Beastmaster who was under life-threatening danger. At the same time, the vines emitted a dense blue light, forming a somewhat illusory mental barrier.
Green blue protection.
It was an advanced skill.
Able to resist both physical and spiritual attacks.
When the turquoise protection was activated, it also meant that the participants were eliminated. They would be brought back by the staff and could leave first.
Of course, they could also stay in their own resting area and watch the actions of the other contestants on the light screen, becoming a bystander.
“After all, the population base is there.”
Xu Mo replied humbly, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
“Eh? Why are there so many skeleton birds in area No. 2, and they’re all heading in the same direction?”
