“These damned wind eagles, daring to block our way.” Demon beast palace Huo Lei crushed another wind eagle’s skull with disdain.
Huo Lei’s subordinates were all rather powerful. They were cleaning up the wind eagles right now.
For some reason, the wind eagles all didn’t fear death. Even though half of them were killed, the remaining thousand still dared to surround them as experts.
“Huo Lei, there’s a very large wind eagle over there.” Divine sect Master Official Xu pointed out.
"Oh, that must be the king of the wind eagles. It looks like its immortal rank…. En? Wait, there’s someone on its head.” Huo Lei said.
Divine sect master Official Xu immediately looked over with his remembrance to find a young girl sitting on top of the massive wind eagle king’s head!
“Is that the young girl hiding the messiah tree seeds?” Divine sect Master Official Xu’s entire body shook, and a gleam came out of his eyes!
The Ning Clan Dynasty didn’t know Ning Maner was the person most likely to have the Messiah Treee. Even before Zhen Wu leaked the information, very little people knew that a group of protectors in the quiet forest didn’t run away in the last fight, but instead were protecting this special girl in her escape.
All of them came thousands of miles for this girl!
“Let’s kill our way over!” Huo Lei said excitedly.
The Messiah Tree seeds are on this young girl’s hands, no one won’t go crazy for her!
Divine sect master official Xu was much faster than Huo Lei and already summoned a light’s fury.
This light’s fury was much stronger than High Official he. The light’s fury before created a pair of wings behind it and flew towards the three eyed wind eagle with Divine Sect Xu Kuan.
Huo Lei was half a beat slower and was anxious. Though demon beast palace and divine sect were cooperating here, there was only one messiah tree seed. Whoever had it could control the world in the future!
……
On Three Eyed Wind Eagle’s head, Ning Maner was already sobbing uncontrollably.
She no longer had the courage to continue running anymore.
She had already lost her powers from messiah tree and she had no seed of any sort. Yet, these greedy people still didn’t let her be. The more she ran, the more her protectors died.
There will be a day when all her protectors, her family, would die for her. When that happens, what did she have left to live for?
Her face was frail with no color left in her cheeks. Her thin body was fragile in the raging winds. Her tear filled eyes only had helplessness and despair left in them.
“Uncle Wind Eagle, let me down……” Ning Maner said.
Three eyed wind eagle saw the other group of intruders. It originally thought it could avoid Kang RUodong by going the opposite direction, yet it didn't expect that another group of humans to also come and kill all its fellow eagles.
Turning around to see the nearing feather demon humans, three eyed wind eagle knew they had no turning back anymore.
It slowly lowered its body onto a withered branch of the messiah tree.
Lowering its head slowly, it let Ning Maner off its head.
Ning Maner slid down and landed within the Messiah Tree’s tangled but withered roots.
“Uncle WInd Eagle, leave with your people. Everyone has done so much, too much, for me already….” Ning Maner hugged the Three Eyed Wind Eagle’s head, lightly rubbing its soft feathers as if saying goodbye to her family.
The three eyed wind eagle slowly closed its eyes and enjoyed her light touch.
After a moment, the three eyed wind eagle lifted its head and opened up its powerful wings!
Flying into the air, it almost instantly appeared in the skies above the tree.
Ning Maner lifted her head and gazed at the back image of the wind eagle.
“My final protectors, you have to live well in this quiet forest once I’m gone…..” Ning Maner muttered to herself.
After saying that, Ning Maner closed her eyes and stood, alone, under the massive messiah tree.
……
“Yi!!!!!!!!!!”
Suddenly, a sharp call came from the skies. The three eyed wind eagle let out a dignified and proud cry!
Hearing the sound, Ning Maner quickly opened her eyes to look back into the skies.
“Yi!!!!!!!!!”
“Yi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The entire sky was filled with wind eagle’s proud calls, as if they were using their life and soul to swear upon an oath!
In the sky, 4000 grey feathered wind eagles became black dots that gathered around the messiah tree.
In that moment, every last wind eagle left started circling the messiah tree, using their bodies and feathers to create a feathered barrier that protected Ning Maner in this last stand.
Seeing the densely packed wind eagles above her, Ning Maner started shaking as if struck by lightning.
Her last protectors didn’t leave……
They were fighting to the death against the intruders!!
“Uncle Wind Eagle, please don’t do this!”
“You can’t die for me anymore…..”
“Please, I beg you, leave… I'm begging you…. Please listen to me……. please…..”
The young girl’s strained cries were covered up by the final cry of the 4000 wind eagles.
No matter how hard she tried shouting and crying, not a single wind eagle left.
In the end, she could only kneel down beside the tree and sob helplessly……
