Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 126 Fighting

Where the seawater in the air meets the sea surface, a patch of white, hard shell is revealed. A marine creature, working in tandem with the petrel, is lurking in the waves stirred up by the petrel, like an assassin preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the dark clouds.

Chu Deng opened his mouth to spew out flames to shield the dark clouds, but instead of attacking, a wind blade slashed towards the waves.

The dull slashes were not very effective due to the obstruction of the seawater. A grayish-brown strip of flesh emerged from the water, its mouth open, and bit down on the left wing of the dark cloud.

It was a sea turtle!

The dark cloud burst into flames, and the intense heat burned the sea turtle, forcing it to open its mouth and dive into the sea with the waves.

Blood seeped from the cloud's left wing and dripped into the deep sea. The feathers on its wingtip were bitten off, leaving a small bald patch.

The dark cloud let out a long, howling cry: [Damn it!]

Tiny fireballs appeared out of thin air and shot towards Haiyan like cannonballs, but because they were small, Haiyan dodged them with her agile movements.

The attack from the dark clouds was not as simple as it seemed. The fireballs in the sky did not disappear; instead, fire lines formed between the fireballs, creating a fire net that surrounded the petrel and kept closing in.

However, the fire net was not without gaps. Haiyan acted decisively, found the loophole and ran away, only to be hit back by an invisible wind wall.

Chu Deng skillfully coordinated with Wu Yun, and was a little excited as it was her first time using wind-based abilities.

The petrel was not discouraged by its failure, but as the fire net drew closer and threatened to singe its feathers, it turned around and prepared to dive into the sea.

However, it was blocked by fire nets and wind walls from all sides, so it could only spin its entire body at high speed, with water enveloping its whole body. The spinning water formed a defense and forcibly broke through the blockade.

Chu Deng found it very interesting. She changed the wind wall into wind blades, and invisible wind blades waited for their prey in the gaps of the fire net.

Just then, a column of water shot out from the sea, and a sea turtle lay in the very center of the column. Its thick shell protected it from the damage and created a path for the petrel to survive. The petrel did not waste the opportunity created by the sea turtle and plunged into the sea along the path under the sea turtle's belly.

Seeing that Haiyan had run away, Wuyun and Chudeng immediately changed their attack method and joined forces to fight the sea turtle.

At least one of them must be kept!

The dark clouds concentrated the fire into a large fireball, which slammed into the turtle's belly shell, preventing it from falling into the sea and escaping.

Sea turtles struggle to build up momentum in the air, forcing them to move further away from the surface of the sea.

【Let me try!】 It's like playing volleyball on the sea. As long as the sea turtle doesn't go into the water, the two crows will eventually wear it down.

On the other side, Chu Deng dodged the water attacks that the sea turtle was trying to unleash, and a wind blade slashed at the sea turtle that was about to fall, knocking it into the dark clouds.

Dark Clouds had been waiting for this. The fireball struck the turtle's shell again, and Chu Deng retaliated. Tortured by the fireballs and wind blades, the turtle was like a sandbag, unable to retract its head and limbs, which were covered in wounds. Finally, a wind blade severed its head, and the turtle died.

Chu Deng used the wind to drag away the headless sea turtle's body and looked at the dark cloud. The dark cloud stared at the silent sea and cried out. While the two of them were attacking the sea turtle, the petrel hadn't shown its face. It was probably long gone. The dark cloud was about to retreat. It wasn't greedy.

Chu Deng did not respond to Wu Yun's suggestion. Fei Ling could not sense Hai Yan, but she was not Fei Ling, but a five-elemental ability user. She could sense that Hai Yan was hiding in the sea, not far from them.

Chu Deng used the wind to transport the dead sea turtle to the shore, which was not far from here, while secretly looking for an opportunity.

She could clearly see the petrel hiding in the seaweed, eating something, seemingly replenishing its energy.

After it finished eating, it flapped its wings and swam, preparing to leave. Chu Deng held her breath and rushed into the water, stabbing at it like a sharp sword.

"Wow--"

Its sharp claws caught the unsuspecting petrel, and it swiftly swam to the surface.

"Gurgle whoosh—"

Haiyan struggled throughout, but was unable to break free.

This speed and power were lent to Fei Ling by Chu Deng. In just 30 seconds, after pulling Hai Yan out of the water, Chu Deng released his claws weakly, and Wu Yun immediately followed up with an attack.

The petrel barely managed to block the attack with a water shield, then quickly retaliated with a water arrow that grazed past the cloud's feathers. The water arrow appeared to be made of water, but it contained rapidly spinning liquid that sheared off a feather from the cloud.

"Gah!!!!"

The dark clouds began to spew fire, with flames shooting out incessantly.

The petrel's feathers were charred black, and the waves submerged the dark cloud several times, the sharp water blades cutting off its tail feathers and a piece of flesh.

Chu Deng sensed that Fei Ling's body was too exhausted to support her and borrow his body. Seeing that the two birds were locked in a war of attrition, she quietly waited for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

The petrel dodged the fireball once again, but its movements were distorted. Its body, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly slid, and the flapping of its wings decreased, clearly indicating that it was running out of energy.

Just as Haiyan was about to take flight again, Chu Deng's wind blade came unexpectedly. The wind blade was invisible to the naked eye; it was a knife hidden in the shadows. Although Haiyan had been on guard, it only discovered it when it was right in front of it. It had performed beyond its limits. With half of its wing damaged, it sensed the direction of the wind blade and folded its body to forcefully deflect the attack, fighting for its own survival with a broken wing.

However, it assumed that the other crow only knew Wind Blade and did not know that the one now occupying the body of the wind-type mutated crow was the fire-type Chu Deng.

"boom--"

The wind blade didn't disappear after hitting the petrel; instead, it exploded, and crimson sparks landed on the petrel's feathers. The petrel immediately extinguished the sparks with its own condensed water, but before it could be covered by the water, the sparks exploded again like tiny bombs.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each explosion was like a heavy blow; the petrel was blown to pieces and fell straight into the sea.

Dark clouds flew down to collect the corpses.

Chu Deng's vision went black, as if he had been forced out of a holographic game by the system due to excessive fatigue, and his consciousness had been pushed offline. The scene in front of him turned into two passages in the hall of the furnace.

Rubbing his temples, Chu Deng glanced at his personal terminal; it was only a little past three o'clock, not yet time to leave.

Having just enjoyed the fun of leveling up with Daiya, Chu Deng was forced to log off. He was a little annoyed, but he could only obediently absorb fire elements to level up.

After calming down for a few minutes, Chu Deng heard a rapid breathing sound. She opened her eyes, looked at the only two living people lying on the ground, frowned, and pressed the alarm on the wall.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the call system on the alarm asked.

"Someone has a health problem and needs help."

"OK, wait."

Less than a minute later, the furnace door opened, and Bai Xinxin and another man ran in.

Seeing that Xie Muyun's face was flushed and she was sweating profusely, the two men took her away with grim faces.

Before leaving, Bai Xinxin reminded Chu Deng, "Let's take a break today. You can go back to your dorm and rest first."

Chu Deng watched the three leave, thinking that Jin Xiaoyue was still training and he would be bored if he went back, so he might as well go into the furnace and take a look. Anyway, Bai Xinxin didn't say that he couldn't go in.

Thinking this, Chu Deng looked at the two roads in front of her.

The one on the left is orange-red, and the one on the right is blue and white. Which one should I choose?
