Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 154 Suzaku at Full Power

Seeing this scene, Wang Hu couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

This woman's strength was greater than he had imagined.

The power of those five-colored flames had definitely reached the third tier, and in some aspects, it was even more domineering than ordinary fourth-tier energy.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

After a brief period of chaos, the flock of crows let out even more furious cawing.

They weren't scared off by Lin Yue's words; on the contrary, it seemed to have aroused their ferocity.

The black torrent swirled in the air and quickly split into dozens of smaller groups, which surrounded Lin Yue from all directions and angles.

These three-legged golden crows clearly possess considerable intelligence and understand tactical coordination.

Instead of engaging in direct confrontation, they used their numerical advantage to launch a pincer attack.

For a moment, the sky was filled with golden light.

Countless lines of fire, formed from golden flames, rained down on Lin Yue from all directions, heading straight for her at the center.

Lin Yue hovered in mid-air, showing no sign of panic in the face of the overwhelming attack.

She sneered and quickly formed hand seals in front of her chest.

"Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky!"

With a clear shout, the pair of enormous, multicolored wings on her back suddenly unfurled, instantly growing to tens of meters in length.

"call--!"

With a flap of its wings, it stirred up towering waves of multicolored fire.

A massive fiery tornado rose into the sky centered on her, engulfing and pulverizing all the golden fireballs aimed at her.

Immediately afterwards, she moved swiftly, drawing a dazzling arc in the air, and charged into the crow squad.

She was like a top-notch dancer, gracefully moving amidst the flashing swords.

With each dodge, she perfectly avoided several attacks.

With each wave of her hand, she would unleash a burst of multicolored flames, igniting one or more three-legged golden crows.

A long sword burning with multicolored flames appeared in her hand. The sword light flashed, and with each slash, a golden crow was cut in half at the waist, turning into two burning corpses that fell to the ground.

The sky had completely transformed into a cruel yet magnificent battlefield.

Golden flames and five-colored divine fire collided and annihilated repeatedly in the air.

The cawing of crows mingled with Lin Yue's maniacal laughter.

Countless burning feathers and debris fell from the sky like rain, covering the ground with a burning carpet.

Wang Hu stood below, watching this thrilling aerial battle, his mind racing with calculations.

Lin Yue is very strong, extremely strong.

It truly lives up to its name, Vermilion Bird.

However, the number of these three-legged golden crows was simply too great, practically endless.

He could see that from deep within the canopy of the giant tree, a continuous stream of black dots were still flying out and joining the battle.

Lin Yue killed them quickly, but they replenished their numbers even faster.

If this fight continues, even if she is a true divine beast phoenix, the energy within her body will eventually be exhausted.

This woman fights without any regard for her life or the consequences.

But she can be reborn from the ashes.

Wang Hu didn't know if there was a price to pay for her rebirth.

But since she dared to squander her power like that, it meant that even if there was a price to pay, she could bear it. So, Wang Hu naturally stopped bothering with her.

Wang Hu's gaze shifted from the battlefield in the sky back to the giant tree in front of him.

He needs to hurry.

While Lin Yue was still acting crazy and attracting all the mutants' attention, he wanted to find some valuable clues.

For example, the whereabouts of Master Long.

For example, the source of that "God's gene".

For example, what exactly is going on with this burning giant tree and these three-legged golden crows?

With that thought in mind, Wang Hu no longer hesitated.

He glanced at the figure in the sky, who was like a Valkyrie, wreaking havoc, then withdrew his gaze and concealed his aura to the extreme.

His body, modified by the mutation drug, blended perfectly into this environment filled with alien energy.

He was like a drop of water, merging into the ocean without attracting the attention of any living creature.

His figure flickered, transforming into an almost imperceptible shadow, bypassing the burning debris falling from the sky, and silently stealthily making its way towards the roots of the giant tree.

He wants to trace the origins of this tree.

He had a feeling that all the secrets were hidden deep within this giant tree.

Shortly after Wang Hu left, Lin Yue's situation began to become difficult in the sky.

The three-legged golden crows seemed to have discovered that conventional attacks were not very effective against her.

The tactics have changed again.

"Gah—!"

Another loud command was given.

All the three-legged golden crows suddenly stopped attacking, quickly retreated, and regrouped in the air.

They no longer dispersed, but converged into a gigantic golden sun composed of tens of thousands of golden crows.

On the surface of this small sun, golden flames burned wildly, converged, and merged.

A terrifying energy, dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than before, began to brew at the center of the small sun.

Lin Yue hovered in mid-air, looking at the enormous sphere opposite her that resembled a black sun, and the maniacal laughter on her face finally vanished.

Instead, there was an unprecedented solemnity.

She could sense that the other party was going to fight her to the death.

This attack is one that even she might not be able to withstand.

Wang Hu was incredibly fast; he was like a golden lightning bolt gliding along the ground, traversing the uneven terrain.

The ground beneath this giant tree is not flat.

The ground was covered with thick, gnarled tree roots. Some of these roots arched up like small hills, while others sank deep into the ground, forming ravines.

The ground was dark red and hard, as if it had been soaked in blood for thousands of years, and it made a "crunching" sound when stepped on.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur and a strange burnt aroma, mixed together, which was very unpleasant to smell.

Wang Hu's danger perception was always on. He could sense that in addition to the crows in the sky, there were also many dangers lurking on the ground and underground in this area.

He would occasionally see enormous, beetle-like creatures crawling out of underground burrows, dragging the fallen crow carcasses into them. He would also see vine-like plants, like venomous snakes, silently slithering in the shadows of tree roots.

This place is a complete ecosystem, full of killing and competition.

And this burning giant tree is the core of this ecosystem.

Wang Hu carefully avoided all dangers; his goal was clear: the trunk of the giant tree itself.

He wanted to get a closer look at what the tree was made of and why it could burn in flames without being destroyed.
