Chapter 666 - 629: Rescuing Thunder Angel
As a world-class master, it’s the most prudent strategy to accumulate troops and then push forward in a straightforward assault, but for Da Fei, who is accustomed to playing ahead of the curve and who also has busier things to tend to, this strategy is simply too inferior and time-consuming. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to get ahead, Da Fei will definitely seize it without hesitation.
Divine Level Fragments, such high-end items, truly don’t have much use in the Mortal World, so as long as there’s a chance to make use of them, the sooner the better, to get rich quickly and be done with it so they don’t mold in hand. As for the method of use, it’s quite simple—last time in the Divine Domain Space, Da Fei sent the Blood Eagle to air-drop the fragment directly in front of the fleeing Magma Dragon. This time, he might as well just directly drop it into the mouth of that Thunder Angel.
Speaking of which, was there any effect from feeding the Magma Dragon that Fire Element Fragment last time? There must have been an effect, but at that time, the motivation was purely impulsive, possibly harmful to others and not necessarily beneficial to oneself. Nonetheless, this time it has to be successful to reap great benefits!
No sooner said than done, Da Fei once again summoned the Blood Eagle, and then the Blood Eagle, clutching the Wind Element Divine Level Fragment in its talons, became invisible and flew toward the Despair Plain.
At this moment, on the Despair Plain, as far as the eye could see, there were densely packed Flesh Demons everywhere. The 5 Sealing Arrays that Da Fei had just disrupted seemed to be operating again, emitting flashing red lights as if nothing had happened. It seems that the plot here can only be advanced by players making some truly earth-shattering moves.
Now, the Blood Eagle once again reached the Blood Lake in the center of Lava Land, where the Blood Lake imprisoning the Thunder Angel still didn’t show any rise in water level, except there were now a group of Demon Mages, their bodies ablaze with flames, surrounding the Array next to it.
Da Fei furrowed his brows—there’s simply no chance of getting through, is there? Even if he forcefully fed it the fragment, as soon as the other Demons sensed something wrong, they might just instantly kill it on the spot, mightn’t they? What to do? Should he wait for these Demons to leave?
Just then, Da Fei noticed another Blood Lake nearby had ebbed to its bottom, and within it, there was a huge creature, dark red like a stingray, bound inside. However, this creature was no longer the neutral Yellow name but a big Red name, and there were no Demon Mages casting spells on it. To use Ror’s words, was that an Ancient Angel that had already fallen?
Holy sh*t, that is to say, if he couldn’t rescue this Thunder Angel, its fall was probably just a matter of time. And since others had fallen long ago, while it alone has endured ten thousand years without falling, that indicates it must be the strongest one, and therefore even more worth rescuing!
How to rescue it? Perhaps there is only one way—to wait for the lake to rise. When the water rises, the group of Demons surrounding it has to leave, right?
So the Blood Eagle circles overhead, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Time passed minute by minute, and the Blood Eagle’s Stamina continued to decline, making Da Fei grow more and more anxious. When will this Blood Lake rise? Besides, why does this Blood Lake need to rise and fall? Is it like changing the water in a fish tank to add fresh nutrients? This was the only plausible explanation, as only fresh and nutrient-rich Blood Lakes could continually produce Flesh Demons.
Finally, a rumbling sound came from the bottom of the lake, and those Demon Mages casting spells around the Thunder Angel also ceased their magic ritual, turning into firelights and vanishing one by one.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched—here was his chance!
However, it wasn’t the best moment yet. He needed to wait for the water to flood deep enough, for example, just to the Thunder Angel’s mouth! By then, if he made his move, he believed the Demons would be too slow to react, and even if they did, the Thunder Angel would have already been submerged, so what could the Demons do?
Now, from the dozen or so springs at the bottom of the lake, boiling, scalding blood gushed out, filling the lake bottom with a dense blood mist!
Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh—what great mist! Wasn’t this just delivering the opportunity?
The blood filled the lake bottom and rose swiftly, engulfing the Array beneath the Thunder Angel, then the Thunder Angel’s massive lion-like feet—it was almost time!
The Blood Eagle immediately took advantage of the thick blood mist and dove downwards, and just at that moment, the distorted human face on the Thunder Angel’s chest, drawn out of flesh, once again opened its eyes, staring unblinkingly at the invisible Blood Eagle, its gaze juxtaposing a silent confrontation!
Holy crap, scared of getting hit, huh? Open your mouth!
Now Da Fei is really screwed, thought of everything except whether this guy knows the goods and if he’ll cooperate. Damn it, even the backwater BOSS in the Divine Domain Space knows to come from a distance to snatch, aren’t you, as an Ancient Angel, supposed to be all-knowing and experienced?
Seeing the water level of the Blood Lake about to reach its chin, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel anxious. My Blood Eagle isn’t a duck, it hasn’t learned the Osprey swimming skill, has it? At this point, the only choice is to show myself and let it see the goods.
Da Fei deactivated the Blood Eagle’s invisibility, and at that moment, the Divine Level Fragment clasped in the Blood Eagle’s claws flashed with light! And just in that instant, the Thunder Angel’s eyes bulged wide!
Finally, the Thunder Angel spoke with trembled excitement, "Warrior—"
Warrior my ass, open your mouth wider. If you make me miss this toss and waste one precious fragment, I’ll end you for sure!
Da Fei directly controlled Little Fei to dive right into the Thunder Angel’s wide-open mouth, and sure enough, the Thunder Angel, getting the hint, immediately opened its garage-door-like big mouth!
Damn!
As Little Fei released its grip, the Divine Level Fragment turned into a streamer and fell into that Blood Pool-like gaping mouth, flashing once before vanishing!
"Thank you—" As the Thunder Angel closed its big mouth, the rising blood water swiftly submerged it.
Oh yeah! Success!
And at that moment, Little Fei’s screen flashed with red light as dozens of fast-moving red dots suddenly appeared on the radar!
—System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! Your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle Xiao Fei has entered a powerful enemy’s alert range and is about to engage in combat!
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat, spotted less than two seconds after becoming visible in the fog? Can’t let my guard down for even a moment here! Little Fei, just having deactivated invisibility, was in Skill Cooldown and couldn’t immediately go invisible again. Now, the only choice was to run. If he could avoid combat and shake off the alert status, he could directly use the Blood Eagle Flute’s recall command to call Little Fei back.
At the same time, with a surge in the Blood Lake, the Thunder Angel seemed to realize it had alerted the guards, quickly shrank its limbs, and plunged into the Blood Lake to happily hide.
Holy crap! Worthy of being an Ancient Angel, such slyness. That puts me at ease then, I’ll wait for your moment to shine!
Now, Little Fei was cutting through the fog, soaring high and fleeing far while dozens of goat-headed, cloven-hoofed, bat-winged Demons with giant scythes gave chase from behind!
Psh, mere humanoid Demons, at least they’re not even streamlined in shape, how could they possibly catch up with Little Fei, a genuine Flying Creature? Not to mention Little Fei has the "High Altitude Flight" skill, how high can such large beings fly?
Thus, as Little Fei climbed higher and higher, the Demons became slower and slower until they couldn’t flap any longer, allowing Little Fei to extend the distance and shake off the pursuit.
Da Fei finally let out a long sigh of relief and immediately recalled Little Fei. I have to say, this place truly deserves to be the battlefield of the Angel Demon Divine War; even the skies aren’t safe. For now, the plan is to go down the mountain to grind mobs and wait for good news from the Thunder Angel. (To be continued.
