Chapter 446: 248 "Dark Clouds" (First Update)

Fang Yuxin blinked her eyes, forcing back the tears. The tears in her eyes flashed and vanished, so fast it seemed like an illusion.

The car sped on, everything around them rapidly retreating as Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye distanced themselves from each other, no longer leaning on one another. Then she suddenly lifted her head to look up at the sky.

The sky was a clear blue, adorned with clouds of various shapes, serene and beautiful—if one ignored the cracked roads.

Fang Yuxin squinted slightly against the light, her vision darkening slightly. If it were not for her enhanced body, ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to open their eyes in such conditions.

Bai Ye’s expression subtly changed, Fang Yuxin’s approach and departure felt like a dream to him. When Fang Yuxin leaned on his back, he hardly had time to feel excited before she was gone.

It was all too brief. He had just tasted sweetness when it suddenly turned bitter, with a hint of sourness. Before he could feel despondent, however, he sensed something was wrong.

It was too quiet.

Apart from the sound of the motorcycle, there was no other noise!

Bai Ye’s instincts screamed that something was amiss. He subconsciously looked up, only to see nothing beyond the blue sky and white clouds.

Just then, he heard Fang Yuxin’s deliberately lowered voice, "Stop the car, they’re here."

They? What were they? Bai Ye didn’t have time to ask; he heard the chaotic sound of flapping wings. He suddenly clenched the brakes, the tires screeching painfully against the ground.

Neither Bai Ye nor Fang Yuxin cared about the noise from the vehicle; they both jumped off and looked up to the sky.

Unbeknownst to them, a dense mass of what seemed like dark clouds had formed above, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a cloud—it was a flock of sparrows.

They looked like sparrows, but unlike the sparrow’s small body that was less than the size of a fist, these birds were almost the size of a chicken. Their dull gray-brown feathers were unattractive, and their tiny claws and cute beaks had turned into gruesome hooks.

At a glance, there were definitely tens of thousands of these sparrows!

Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin’s expressions darkened. Although they had considered the presence of mutated birds, they had only encountered one along the way, and it had not attacked. Now, however, tens of thousands of mutated sparrows appeared before them, an alarmingly large number!

Bai Ye asked Fang Yuxin in a low voice, "Do you have any ideas?" He could unleash Sword Qi and electric nets, his inquiry was more out of concern for Fang Yuxin. They were only two people against a vast number, and Bai Ye worried that he wouldn’t be able to protect Fang Yuxin in combat.

Fang Yuxin thought for a moment and replied, "I can use fire." Although she didn’t have a Fire Spirit Root, Wood fuels fire, allowing her to use Fire Magic, just not as conveniently as those with the Fire Spirit Root. Previously, when she encountered Red Powder, she was still in the Qi Refining Middle Stage and couldn’t freely wield Fire Magic, only managing to conjure small fireballs. Now that she had reached the Late Stage of Energy Refining, she could barely attempt it.

However...

Suddenly, Fang Yuxin remembered Red Powder, recalling that its true form was quite enormous, especially as its floral scent had a bewildering effect. It might be worth a try.

With that thought, Fang Yuxin immediately told Bai Ye, "I’ve recently taken a Spiritual Pet, let’s try using it."

Her words had barely passed when the sparrows swiftly swooped down. Bai Ye’s expression changed, and in an instant, he cast an electric net overhead to protect them both.

The sparrows that hit the front line of the net burst into sparks, one by one turning into charred remains.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuxin contacted Red Powder, "Red Powder! Go now!"

Red Powder, till now residing on the White Jade Bracelet taken the form of Lan Re, shot out immediately upon hearing Fang Yuxin’s telepathic call, returning to its true form upon hitting the ground.

It had absorbed a great amount of Spiritual Energy recently, further boosted by the pure Wood Energy transmitted by Fang Yuxin. Its actual size had grown a whole size bigger. Thus, when it revealed its true form, Fang Yuxin noted that it had grown even larger than before.

Red Powder seemed to drool over the sparrows, controlling its body to continuously rise, aggressively blooming its flowers, revealing its grotesque stamens.
