我家哥哥宠妹如命

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a cry of alarm. Those strange birds were catching up again!

The scattered black clouds behind them then gathered into a large dark cloud and approached the spiritual boat.

“These strange birds are really persistent.”

Ye Xuan maneuvered the spiritual boat, and dozens of wings flapped wildly on it. Even with a protective shield, everyone could still feel the wind blowing past their ears.

Behind them were the strange birds that were in hot pursuit. There was a little excitement in the midst of the danger.

For Ye Xuan, this was an unprecedented novel feeling. It was his first time racing a spiritual boat.

Ye Xuan lowered the height of the spiritual boat, and as expected, those strange birds also chased after the boat. Using the trees as obstacles, he tripped many of the strange birds.

As he went up and down, everyone felt a little dizzy. Sometimes, an obstacle would appear in front of them and the boat would suddenly make a sharp turn, causing everyone to also fall to one side, almost feeling like they were thrown out.

“El-Elder Ye, please slow down.”

The strange birds were still in hot pursuit. Looking at the complicated terrain in front of him, Ye Xuan’s eyes wandered and he suddenly had an idea.

He accelerated at full speed, and the strange birds followed closely behind. The view in front of him was wide, and there was nothing to block them, so the strange birds’ speed was much faster.

Just as they were about to catch up, Ye Xuan suddenly turned left. The scenery on the side was completely different. It was a steep mountain with strange rocks, blocking the front of the boat. They were about to crash into it.

Everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their chest.

In the nick of time, Ye Xuan suddenly lifted the spiritual boat up. The majestic spiritual energy formed a powerful airflow, allowing it to avoid the collision.

The strange birds behind him were not so lucky. By the time they noticed it, it was too late. When the spiritual boat suddenly rose and the steep rock wall appeared, they didn’t have time to react.

“Boom!”

Even the rock wall caved in from their collision. Black feathers flew everywhere, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

Ye Xuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, but he found that there was no sound behind him. He turned around and saw that everyone was lying here and there with pitiful looks on their faces.

Shen Changling struggled to get up from the ground. He resisted the urge to vomit and said, “Elder Ye, for the sake of our safety in the future, it’s best if you don’t operate the spiritual boat.”

Lin Qing and the others had never expected that they would almost die at Ye Xuan’s hands instead of dying at the hands of the strange birds. They nodded in agreement.

It was simply too terrifying. he had never seen anyone who could drive a spiritual boat in such a way.

If they said Ye Xuan didn’t know how to drive, he did manage to shake off the flock of strange birds. If they said he knew how to drive, everyone’s pale faces looked really pitiful.

After shaking off the strange birds, the group continued on their way. After crossing the hills and peaks, they finally saw the shadow of a town. The ancient bluestone city not far away came into view, full of the aura of history.

“That’s Changping,” Lin Qing could not help but say.

Everyone hurriedly got off the flying boat, but all they could see was the tightly shut city gate. Ye Xuan sharply noticed that there were many claw marks under the city wall. They were dense and looked very new, probably caused recently.

The guards on the city wall hurriedly came down to welcome them. Seeing that they were in good condition, and only Lin Qing and a few others were injured, a touch of surprise flashed in their eyes.

“Where are you guys from?”

“We received the news that something had happened in Changping, so we rushed over from the capital.”

Hearing their words, the guards were even more surprised, but they didn’t ask anything more. They just looked around vigilantly.

With a creak, the ancient city gate slowly opened.

The door was only slightly open, barely enough for one person to go in. Ye Xuan and the others found it strange, but they didn’t think too much about it.

After they entered, it quickly closed again, as if it was guarding against something.

After entering the city, there were very few people on the streets. Unlike Jingdu’s bustling, lively, and exquisite streets, the houses and buildings were all built in a rough style, all built with the unique ores of the area.

It looked rather extraordinary and had a special taste.

Ye Xuan and the others walked all the way here and didn’t see anyone. Even if there were, they were only a few people. They seemed to be in a hurry and were a little surprised to see them.

Shen Changling couldn’t help but lower his voice and say, “When I came here before, although there were few people, it wasn’t like this. I keep feeling that this place is a little strange.”

It wasn’t just him, even Ye Xuan had this feeling.

The guards on the city wall brought them to the City Lord’s mansion.

Even though it was the City Lord’s mansion, compared to the buildings beside it, it wasn’t much grander. It just occupied a larger area and had more decorations inside.

However, thinking about the situation in Changping, it wasn’t difficult to understand. After all, people came here for the spirit stone mines. This place was remote, and there were many mountains and forests nearby. There was no need to be so particular.

If it weren’t for these precious mines and medicinal plants, no one would have set foot in this place.

The person who came out to welcome them was a middle-aged man. He looked extremely kind, but there was a deep frown on his face that could not be dispelled. When he saw their arrival, his eyes could not help but light up.

“Finally, news has reached the outside world.”

The man seemed to have noticed their confusion and explained, “Ever since the demonic beasts started their rampage, we tried sending out messages and news to the outside world about the situation. However, this place seemed to be affected by something. Any news was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no response.”

The disciples of the sects have tried all kinds of methods, but they can’t contact them.

The man’s identity was the City Lord of Changping, Yi Chengrui.
