Chapter 478: Chapter 489: Battle Against the Winged-men!

Rumble—

The convoy, with a dark mass of the corpse tide, rampaged freely along the road, like a black flood slowly spreading forward along the path.

In the first vehicle at the front of the convoy.

Seated in the passenger seat, Lu Chuan was looking at the map while confirming his route from the perspective of the Flyer One above, a hint of agitation in his expression.

With the burden of advancing with the corpse puppet army and being slowed down by the convoy, reaching Shanchuan City from Qingshui Farm this time was much slower than before!

Back then, he and Little Qiqi could fly directly over after determining the direction, thanks to their flying ability, which was naturally much faster.

But now, with the convoy and the corpse puppet army, they couldn’t fly over alone at will.

They could only advance slowly with the corpse tide on the ground, constantly ensuring their forward movement while frequently checking the route to avoid accidentally taking the wrong path and ending up on a different road.

In the back seat, Ji Ruxue sat cross-legged.

She was well aware of the time needed to reach Shanchuan City.

So, after leaving Li River City, Ji Ruxue sat quietly and operated her cultivation technique with serene focus, absorbing the surrounding energy and making the most of every second to enhance her cultivation.

Under Ji Ruxue’s control, energy from all directions rapidly gathered toward the center before finally flowing into her body.

Compared to the unseasoned Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue knew more about the threat of the alien races, especially some particular races like the Giant Dragon and the Insect Race… To be prepared, ensuring everything went smoothly in the future, Ji Ruxue was intent on improving her cultivation as much as possible before encountering tough opponents.

…

Shanchuan City.

At this moment, unbeknownst to Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, who were leading the corpse puppet army to Shanchuan City, the Winged Race had already surged into this place.

Without any resistance from human official forces, the Winged Race wantonly developed upon emerging from the space rift.

The vast numbers of fierce beasts in Shanchuan City were being frantically hunted by the Winged Race, allowing them to obtain copious amounts of flesh and crystal cores, driving the Winged Race into further frenzy.

After consecutively breaking through some private evolutionary organizations, the Winged Race had completely taken over Shanchuan City.

The Winged Race considered Shanchuan City as their own territory, relentlessly plundering resources, and this was why, earlier, when Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue passed through Shanchuan City, they were attacked by the winged men.

To the Winged Race, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue were uninvited guests intruding into their abode, and naturally, they weren’t going to be polite!

At this time, outside Shanchuan City, deep within a large mountain, numerous figures were flying back and forth in the sky.

On the mountainside, simple wooden huts built from logs were densely distributed in this area, with many winged men active there, filling the air with noisy clamor.

From time to time, a team of winged men would fly in from the distance carrying the bodies of some fierce beasts and swiftly descend, soon joined by other winged men to help process the prey.

Around these wooden huts were enclosures made from giant logs, housing some herbivorous fierce beasts.

At this time, there were winged men, each with a basket woven from vines, scattering special green leaves over the enclosure from above.

The fierce beasts below, seemingly habituated, would rush forward like farmed chickens and ducks at the sight of the falling food.

Within the Winged Race settlement, some humans with their legs bound were engaged in labor, each face numb and emaciated, working under the compulsion of the winged men, looking pitiful and haggard.

These people were survivors caught when the Winged Race attacked those private evolutionary organizations and were now living arduously under the enslavement of the winged men.

Roar—

Suddenly, the sound of roaring came one after another, like waves surging toward Shanchuan City, causing the ground to tremble continuously, and a vast cloud of dust billowed grandly from the distance!

Almost at the same time, some winged guards patrolling the edge of Shanchuan City were drawn to the commotion, turning toward that direction.

Seeing the boundless corpse tide, these winged men were startled out of their wits, stunned in place, and after a few moments of realization, they cried out in alarm and rushed back toward the nest.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Soon, a continuous flow of winged men emerged from the mountainside, soaring rapidly into the sky, with no fewer than two to three thousand winged men flying toward the direction of the corpse tide en masse.

A pitch-black mass formed by the army of winged men indeed seemed capable of covering the sky, and for a time, the entire sky darkened, and gusts of strong wind swept rapidly toward the ground with the advance of the winged army.

“Here they come!”

In the vehicle, watching the winged army in the distance, dark like a cloud, Lu Chuan’s gaze shifted slightly, his expression calm.

The disturbance from the corpse tide was too great, almost impossible to hide from the flight-capable winged men, so Lu Chuan had anticipated the current situation.

“Dad! Most of this group from the Winged Race are at the third and fourth tier, with only a few at the fifth tier, and one at the sixth tier!”

At this moment, Ji Ruxue in the back seat retracted the spiritual power she had dispersed, opened her eyes, and reported the findings to Lu Chuan.

“Hmm, nothing to worry about!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan laughed and said.

With only one at the sixth tier, the Winged Race was entirely non-threatening to Lu Chuan.

Were it not for their advantage of flight, Lu Chuan could easily dispatch two sixth-tier corpse puppets to obliterate the Winged Race.

However, holding the advantage of the skies, they still required some caution.

So, with a single thought from Lu Chuan, the convoy and the corpse tide advancing steadily stopped immediately.

To prevent unnecessary losses to the corpse tide, facing the main force of the winged army, Lu Chuan decided to withdraw the lower-strength corpse puppets from the upcoming battlefield.

In the next moment, some ordinary and lower-tier corpse puppets withdrew swiftly in all directions, creating space, leaving only the third tier and above corpse puppets gathered around the convoy.

Soon, the sky around the convoy suddenly darkened, and under the watchful eyes of Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, the winged army had arrived a thousand meters above them in the sky.

The leading winged man, the tallest amongst them, was the sixth-tier winged man.

Standing at a full zhang tall, his feathers were distinctly different from the ordinary winged men, the majority having been replaced with green feathers exuding a particular nobility.

At this moment, the sixth-tier winged man held a mystical longbow shimmering with purple light, overlooking the convoy with an icy gaze.

“Screech~”

As the most powerful sixth-tier winged man let out a cry, the entire winged army instantly boiled with murderous intent, pressing toward the convoy.

Swish swish swish—

In a split second, the sound of bowstrings vibrating like thunder resounded in the air, and immediately, a rain of arrows covered the sky, carving through the long sky, descending toward the convoy.
