bù guò zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， lán míng xiū shí zì bào jīn dān ， suǒ zhà chū lái de shù bǎi zhàng de tiān dòng ， jiù bèi qián pū hòu jì de yāo qín tián mǎn 。
不过转瞬之间，兰名修十自爆金丹，所炸出来的数百丈的天洞，就被前仆后继的妖禽填满。
However, in an instant, Lan Mingxiu's golden core self-destructed. The hundreds of feet wide hole it created was quickly filled by successive waves of demonic birds.
yín yú niǎo gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào wèi jù wèi hé wù 。
银鱼鸟根本就不知道畏惧为何物。
Silver Fishbirds didn't even know what fear meant.
lín xuān liǎn sè yě yǒu xiē biàn le ， shù liàng zhòng duō ， yòu hàn bù wèi sǐ ， zhè líng jiè shòu cháo de kě pà chéng dù ， yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng xǔ duō 。
林轩脸色也有些变了，数量众多，又悍不畏死，这灵界兽潮的可怕程度，远远超过自己想象许多。
Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly; with such a large number and their fearless nature, the spirit realm beast tide was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
“ ān shū ， nǐ zěn me ……”
“安叔，你怎么……”
"Uncle An, how come?"
“ dà xiǎo jiě ， luàn shì yòng zhòng diǎn ， zhè shí hòu ， rén xīn hùn luàn ， rú guǒ bù néng yòng pī lì shǒu duàn zhèn shè zhù xīn huái bù guǐ zhě ， hòu guǒ jiāng bù kān shè xiǎng de 。”
“大小姐，乱世用重典，这时候，人心混乱，如果不能用霹雳手段震慑住心怀不轨者，后果将不堪设想的。”
"Miss, in times of chaos, severe measures are necessary. At this moment when people are confused, if we cannot use decisive actions to intimidate those with ill intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable."
“ ó ！”， hóng yè xiān zi diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yě bù zhuī jiū ， suī rán ān shū gāng cái de zuò fǎ lüè yǒu xiē qiàn tuǒ ， dàn cóng dào lǐ shàng ， yě néng gòu shuō guò 。
“哦！”，红叶仙子点了点头，也不追究，虽然安叔刚才的做法略有些欠妥，但从道理上，也能够说过。
"Oh!" Red Leaf Fairy nodded and didn't press further. Although Uncle An's actions were slightly inappropriate earlier, they could still be justified from a logical standpoint.
lín xuān què méi tóu wēi zhòu ， zhè xìng ān de lǎo jiā huǒ ， nǎi hóng yè xīn fù ， zì jǐ de shēn fèn tā wán quán qīng chǔ ， liǎng rén sī dǐ xià ， yě céng yǒu guò yī xiē jiē chù 。
林轩却眉头微皱，这姓安的老家伙，乃红叶心腹，自己的身份他完全清楚，两人私底下，也曾有过一些接触。
But Lin Xuan frowned; this old An was a close confidant of Red Leaf Fairy, someone he knew well. They had even interacted privately before.
yǐ qián ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jué de yǒu hé bù tuǒ ， kě gāng kān cǐ rén xīn hěn shǒu là de shí hòu ， què cóng tā shēn shàng gǎn jué dào ……
以前，林轩并没有觉得有何不妥，可刚刊此人心狠手辣的时候，却从他身上感觉到……
Previously, Lin Xuan hadn’t found anything amiss, but now that the man was ruthless and calculating, Lin Xuan felt something...
ěr zhuǎn guò tóu ， nà gǔ guài de gǎn jué yòu xiāo shī le 。
耳转过头，那古怪的感觉又消失了。
Turning his head, the strange sensation vanished again.
nán bù chéng ， zhēn shì yí xīn shēng àn guǐ ， yī qiè dōu zhǐ shì zì jǐ de cuò jué ？
难不成，真是疑心生暗鬼，一切都只是自己的错觉？
Could it be that suspicion breeds doubt? Could everything just be a figment of his imagination?
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， ān zhǎng lǎo cǐ jǔ ， què shí qǐ dào de hěn hǎo de zhèn shè zuò yòng ， mù dǔ le nà sān míng táo pǎo xiū shì de xià chǎng ， zhòng rén suī xīn hán yǐ jí ， dàn zài yě méi yǒu rén gǎn sī zì lí qù 。
但不管如何，安长老此举，确实起到的很好的震慑作用，目睹了那三名逃跑修士的下场，众人虽心寒以极，但再也没有人敢私自离去。
Regardless, Uncle An’s actions did indeed have a strong deterrent effect. After witnessing the fates of those three fleeing cultivators, everyone was deeply chilled but no one dared to leave privately anymore.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr zá ， jīng wēi pào hái zài bù tíng de nù hǒu ， wēi lì lìng rén zé shé ， rán ér yāo qín de shù liàng tài duō ， nà yín sè de làng cháo ， mián yán qiān lǐ yǐ shàng ， yī wǎng wú qián de qì shì ， lìng rén jué wàng 。
爆裂声传入耳杂，晶威炮还在不停的怒吼，威力令人咋舌，然而妖禽的数量太多，那银色的浪潮，绵延千里以上，一往无前的气势，令人绝望。
The explosion echoed in Lin Xuan's ears as the Crystal Power Cannon continued its relentless roar. Its power was astonishing, yet the number of demonic birds was too great; their silver wave stretched for miles and moved forward without hesitation, leaving a sense of despair.
ér zuì kě pà de ， shì nà xiē yāo qín de dùn shù ， yǔ yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， dōu hái yào lüè kuài yī xiē ， qiě jí yǒu nài lì ， yí dàn bèi xī men dīng shàng ， chú fēi shì lí hé qī lǎo zǔ ， fǒu zé qí tā rén dōu miǎn bù liǎo biàn wèi shí wù 。
而最可怕的，是那些妖禽的遁术，与元婴后期的大修士相比，都还要略快一些，且极有耐力，一旦被牺们盯上，除非是离合期老祖，否则其他人都免不了变为食物。
What was even more terrifying were these demonic birds' evasion techniques. Compared to late-stage元婴 cultivators, they were slightly faster and had remarkable endurance. Once they locked onto someone, unless it was an old ancestor at the Separation stage, everyone else would inevitably become their prey.
zǔ chě de xiào guǒ shì wēi hū qí wēi de ， hěn kuài xī men jù lí zhàn chuán zhī yǒu bǎi zhàng ， nà zhēng níng de yàng mào kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ” zhè zhǒng yāo qín de yá chǐ jiān lì dào jí chù 。
阻扯的效果是微乎其微的，很快牺们距离战船只有百丈，那狰狞的样貌看得清清楚楚”这种妖禽的牙齿尖利到极处。
The blocking effect was negligible; soon, the demons were only a hundred feet away from the warship. Their grotesque forms could be clearly seen. These silver fishbirds' teeth were incredibly sharp.
xiū shì men hài rán yǐ jí ， zhè shí hòu jiù suàn shì xiǎng táo yě yǐ jīng cuò guò le shí jī ， fēn fēn fàng chū zì jǐ de bǎo wù fǎ qì ， xī wàng néng gòu pīn mìng shā dí ， áo guò zhè è mèng bān de jīng lì 。
修士们骇然以极，这时候就算是想逃也已经错过了时机，纷纷放出自己的宝物法器，希望能够拼命杀敌，熬过这噩梦般的经历。
Cultivators were terrified; even if they wanted to escape now, it was too late. They all released their treasures and magical artifacts, hoping to fight back and endure this nightmare.
yī shí jiān guāng huá cì mù ， hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一时间光华刺目，轰隆隆的爆裂声不停传入耳朵。
For a moment, the sky was filled with dazzling light as explosions echoed continuously in Lin Xuan's ears. Spirit lights danced, magical artifacts and various elemental spells burst forth like flowers in the sky.
líng guāng fēi wǔ ， fǎ qì fú zhuàn ， hái yǒu gè zhǒng gè yàng de wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， rú lǐ huā bān zài tiān kōng zhōng tūn tǔ zhàn fàng zhe 。
灵光飞舞，法器符篆，还有各种各样的五行法术，如礼huā般在天空中吞吐绽放着。
Late-stage元婴 cultivators wouldn't hold back; each unleashed their full power. The howling sounds grew louder as thousands of cultivators attacked together. Their combined power far exceeded that of a hundred Crystal Power Cannons, and for the first time, the silver wave's advance was halted.
miàn duì qiáng dí ， yuán yīng qī lǎo zǔ yě bú huì ná jià zi ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， yī shí jiān ， hū xiào shēng dà qǐ ， shù qiān xiū shì yì qǐ chū shǒu ， qí wēi lì ， yuǎn fēi bǎi zūn jīng wēi pào kě bǐ ， nà yín sè làng cháo qián jìn de sù dù ， dì yī cì shòu dào le yǒu lì zǔ zhǐ 。
面对强敌，元婴期老祖也不会拿架子，各展神通，一时间，呼啸声大起，数千修士一起出手，其威力，远非百尊晶威炮可比，那银色浪潮前进的速度，第一次受到了有力阻止。
But these silver fishbirds were truly fearless. Batch after batch fell under attacks, their blood turning the sea red, but they continued to charge forward with all their might.
kě zhè zhǒng yāo qín ， dàng zhēn shì hàn bù wèi sǐ ” pū téng shuāng chì ， yī pī pī de bèi dǎ luò ， xiān xuè dōu jiāng hǎi shuǐ rǎn hóng le ， kě xī men yī jiù pīn mìng de xiàng qián chōng 。
可这种妖禽，当真是悍不畏死”扑腾双翅，一批批的被打落，鲜血都将海水染红了，可牺们依旧拼命的像前冲。
Everyone had already started fighting; Lin Xuan couldn’t just sit idle. He casually released several treasures and aimed them at the monstrous creatures above him.
zhòng rén jiē yǐ jīng dòng shǒu ， lín xuān yě bù hǎo xián zhe ， jiù suí yì fàng chū wǔ liù jiàn bǎo wù ， xiàng zhe tóu dǐng de guài wù hōng qù le 。
众人皆已经动手，林轩也不好闲着，就随意放出五六件宝物，向着头顶的怪物轰去了。
Unlike others, while Lin Xuan was impressed by the scale of the spirit realm beast tide, he still felt confident in self-preservation. Thus, he wasn't panicking but rather looked calm and composed.
yǔ qí yú zhī rén bù tóng ， lín xuān suī rán yě zhèn hàn yú líng jiè shòu cháo de guī mó ， dàn zì bǎo hái shì yǒu bǎ wò ， gù ér yě bù yòng huāng luàn shén me ， yī fù hào zhěng yǐ xiá zhī sè 。
与其余之人不同，林轩虽然也震撼于灵界兽潮的规模，但自保还是有把握，故而也不用慌乱什么，一副好整以暇之色。
A single silver fishbird's strength wasn’t formidable; it was roughly on par with a Foundation Establishment first-stage cultivator. What was terrifying was their sheer numbers.
zhè yín yú niǎo dān gè shí lì bìng bù qiáng ， yě jiù yǔ zhù jī chū qī de xiū shì chà bu duō ， kě pà shì guī mó 。
这银鱼鸟单个实力并不强，也就与筑基初期的修士差不多，可怕是规模。
The ancient warship’s protective barrier was even more mysterious. People hid inside the ship and projected spirit artifacts outward, unaffected by external attacks. However, the fireballs and light beams they spat out from outside could easily be blocked; spirit realm cultivators’ array techniques were far superior to those in the mortal world.
ér shàng gǔ zhàn chuán de hù zhào ， gèng jiā xuán miào ， rén duǒ zài chuán tǐ è nèi ， xiàng wài fàng chū líng qì fǎ bǎo ， sī háo bú huì shòu dào yǐng xiǎng ， kě yāo qín cóng wài miàn tǔ chū lái de huǒ qiú guāng zhù ， què kě yǐ qīng yì de dǎng zhù ， líng jiè xiū shì de zhèn fǎ zào yì ， yǔ rén jiè xiāng bǐ ， gāo le bù zhī fán jǐ 。
而上古战船的护罩，更加玄妙，人躲在船体垩内，向外放出灵器法宝，丝毫不会受到影响，可妖禽从外面吐出来的火球光柱，却可以轻易的挡住，灵界修士的阵法造诣，与人界相比，高了不知凡几。
With his thoughts racing, the silver wave surged forward. The vanguard numbered over ten thousand silver fishbirds, fiercely colliding with the protective barrier.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， yín sè làng cháo yǐ fēng yōng guò lái le ， qián fēng yuē yǒu wàn yú zhǐ yín yú niǎo ， hěn hěn de zhuàng jī zài hù zhào zhī shàng 。
脑海中念头转过，银色浪潮已蜂拥过来了，前锋约有万余只银鱼鸟，狠狠的撞击在护罩之上。
The light shield dimmed momentarily.
yī shí jiān ， guāng zhào yě wèi zhī yī àn 。
一时间，光罩也为之一黯。
Red Leaf Fairy’s face turned pale as she waved her jade hand, sending out hundreds of light balls.
hóng yè xiān zi liǎn sè kuáng biàn ” yù shǒu shàng xià fēi wǔ ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de guāng qiú fēi lüè ér chū 。
红叶仙子脸色狂变”玉手上下飞舞，数以百计的光球飞掠而出。
The booming sounds echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. This woman was indeed a late-stage元婴 cultivator; within moments, she had blown up the approaching demonic birds into pieces. The power of this Green Water Divine Thunder truly couldn’t be underestimated.
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ nǚ bù kuì shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán yǐ yī jǐ zhī lì ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù jiāng pū shàng lái de yāo qín zhà le huà líng bā luò ， zhè kuí shuǐ shén léi de wēi lì dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，此女不愧是元婴后期的大修仙者，居然以一己之力，顷刻之间，就将扑上来的妖禽炸了化零八落，这奎水神雷的威力当真是非同小可。
But Red Leaf Fairy’s face also turned slightly pale as more fearless silver fishbirds continued to swarm in.
kě hóng yè de liǎn sè yě yǒu xiē bái le ， hòu miàn de yāo qín hàn bù wèi sǐ ， jì xù fēng yōng ér zhì 。
可红叶的脸色也有些白了，后面的妖禽悍不畏死，继续蜂拥而至。
"Miss, this won't work. There are too many silver fishbirds; our protective barrier can’t hold for long. Once it's breached, we'll all be in danger," "The best outcome would just be mutual destruction."
“ xiǎo jiě ， zhè yàng bù xíng de ， yín yú niǎo shù liàng tài duō ， hù zhào jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ ， yí dàn bèi gōng pò ， wǒ men zhè xiē rén kě jiù wēi xiǎn le “ zuì hǎo de jié guǒ ， yě bù guò shì yǔ duì fāng tóng guī yú jìn bà le 。”
“小姐，这样不行的，银鱼鸟数量太多，护罩坚持不了多久，一旦被攻破，我们这些人可就危险了“最好的结果，也不过是与对方同归于尽罢了。”
"Uncle An, I understand your point, but is there any other method besides a desperate battle?" Red Leaf Fairy spoke with some urgency.
“ ān shū ， nǐ shuō de wǒ qīng chǔ ， kě chú le pīn sǐ yī zhàn zhī wài ， nán dào hái yǒu bié de fāng fǎ me ？” hóng yè xiān zi yǒu diǎn huáng jí de kāi kǒu 。
“安叔，你说的我清楚，可除了拼死一战之外，难道还有别的方法么？”红叶仙子有点惶急的开口。
"I do have one." Uncle An’s eyes flashed with an eerie look.
“ lǎo fū hái zhēn yǒu yí gè 。” ān zhǎng lǎo de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī guǐ yì zhī sè 。
“老夫还真有一个。”安长老的眼中闪过一丝诡异之色。
Red Leaf didn’t notice and was overjoyed: "Really? Then what are you waiting for? Speak quickly; we can all be food for these demonic birds if we delay."
bù guò hóng yè bìng wèi zhù yì ， wén yán bù yóu de dà xǐ ：“ zhēn de ， nà nín lǎo hái děng zhe gàn shén me ， kuài shuō ， dān gē jiǔ le ， wǒ men kě quán dōu yào chéng zhè yāo qín de shí wù 。”
不过红叶并未注意，闻言不由得大喜：“真的，那您老还等着干什么，快说，耽搁久了，我们可全都要成这妖禽的食物。”
"Miss, please calm down. I’m not playing games; to resolve this crisis, there's another problem. Do you know what the silver fishbirds like to eat most?" "What do they like to eat?"
“ xiǎo jiě xī nù ， bú shì lǎo xiǔ mài guān zi ， ér shì yào huà jiě yǎn qián de wēi jī ， hái miàn lín zhe lìng yí gè nán tí ， xiǎo jiě kě zhī dào ， zhè yín yú niǎo zuì xǐ huān chī shén me ？”，“ xǐ huān chī shén me ？” hóng yè xiān zi yī dāi ， biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yì wài 。
“小姐息怒，不是老朽卖关子，而是要化解眼前的危机，还面临着另一个难题，小姐可知道，这银鱼鸟最喜欢吃什么？”，“喜欢吃什么？”红叶仙子一呆，表情有些意外。
Red Leaf Fairy was taken aback, her expression surprised.
“ cǐ yāo qín wǒ zhǐ zài diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò ， tiān xìng cán rěn xiōng è ， nǎi shì shòu cháo zhōng zuì kě pà de yī zhǒng ， jù shuō yín yú niǎo tān shí ， bù guǎn shū lái guā guǒ ， hái shì huó shēng shēng de dòng wù ， jī hū shì wú wù bù shì ， jiù xiàng shì sú de huáng chóng ， zhǐ bù guò gèng jiā de kě bù 。”
“此妖禽我只在典籍上见过，天性残忍凶恶，乃是兽潮中最可怕的一种，据说银鱼鸟贪食，不管蔬莱瓜果，还是活生生的动物，几乎是无物不噬，就像世俗的蝗虫，只不过更加的可怖。”
"I've only seen these demonic birds in ancient texts; they are naturally cruel and vicious, one of the most terrifying types in the beast tide. It’s said that silver fishbirds are greedy, eating anything from vegetables to live animals, almost nothing escapes their teeth. They’re like secular locusts but even more terrifying."
“ xiǎo jiě suǒ yán bù cuò 。”
“小姐所言不错。”
"Miss, your words are correct."
ān zhǎng lǎo yī biān shuō ” yī biān zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí gè liǎng cùn lái gāo de lǜ sè xiǎo píng fú xiàn chū lái 。
安长老一边说”一边在腰间一拍，一个两寸来高的绿色小瓶浮现出来。
Uncle An continued speaking as he tapped his waist, producing a small green bottle about two inches high.
“ yín yú niǎo bù tiāo shí ， dàn zuì xǐ huān chī de què shì cuì lǜ jiāng guǒ ， ér qiě duì qí mí liàn dào le fēng kuáng de chéng dù ” kě xī cǐ wù zài dōng hǎi bù duō ……”
“银鱼鸟不挑食，但最喜欢吃的却是翠绿浆果，而且对其迷恋到了疯狂的程度”可惜此物在东海不多……”
"Silver fishbirds don’t discriminate in what they eat, but they particularly love green berries and are obsessed with them. Unfortunately, such fruits aren't common in the East Sea..."
“ ān shū zhè yàng shuō ， nán dào nǐ shǒu zhōng ná zhe de jiù shì cuì lǜ jiāng guǒ ？”， hóng yè xiān zi sì hū xiǎng dào le shén me ， shēng yīn zhōng dài shàng le jī dòng zhī sè 。
“安叔这样说，难道你手中拿着的就是翠绿浆果？”，红叶仙子似乎想到了什么，声音中带上了激动之色。
"Do you mean that the green berries in your hand are what silver fishbirds like to eat?" Red Leaf Fairy seemed to have an idea, her voice filled with excitement.
“ ń ， lǎo fū jī yuán qiǎo hé ， céng dé dào le jǐ méi cuì lǜ jiāng guǒ ， ér qiě hái shì qiān nián yǐ shàng de ， píng zhōng suǒ zhuāng ， jiù shì yòng cǐ wù zhà chū lái de yuán yè ， rú guǒ yín yú niǎo wén le ……”
“嗯，老夫机缘巧合，曾得到了几枚翠绿浆果，而且还是千年以上的，瓶中所装，就是用此物榨出来的原液，如果银鱼鸟闻了……”
"Hmm, by chance, I obtained a few thousand-year-old green berries. The liquid inside this bottle is made from them. If the silver fishbirds smell it..."
“ ān shū shì zhǐ ……”，” hóng yè xiān zi huǎng rán dà wù ， yǎn jīng dōu gāo xìng dé mī chéng yī gè fèng le 。
“安叔是指……”，”红叶仙子恍然大悟，眼睛都高兴得眯成一各缝了。
"Uncle An means..." "Red Leaf Fairy suddenly understood and her eyes lit up in joy."
“ hēi hēi ， hé bì yǔ zhè xiē yāo qín yìng pīn ， shèn zhì tóng guī yú jìn ， zhǐ yào yí gè rén ná zhe cǐ wù ， zì rán bù nán jiāng yín yú niǎo yǐn kāi ， wǒ men jiù kě yǐ huò dé ān quán 。”， ān zhǎng lǎo yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yì máng ， gān xiào zhe dào 。
“嘿嘿，何必与这些妖禽硬拼，甚至同归于尽，只要一个人拿着此物，自然不难将银鱼鸟引开，我们就可以获得安全。”，安长老眼中闪过一丝异芒，干笑着道。
"Heh heh, why fight these demonic birds head-on or risk mutual destruction? As long as one person holds this item, naturally, we can lure the silver fishbirds away and gain safety." Uncle An's eyes flashed with a strange light as he chuckled.
“ huà shì bù cuò ， kě zhí xíng zhè ge rèn wù de rén qǐ bù shì jiǔ sǐ yì shēng le 。” hóng yè xiān zi yǒu diǎn bù rěn de shuō 。
“话是不错，可执行这个任务的人岂不是九死一生了。”红叶仙子有点不忍的说。
"It’s true, but isn’t that person risking their life?" Red Leaf Fairy spoke with some reluctance.
“ xiǎo jiě chèn xīn tài ruǎn le ， zuò dà shì zhě qǐ néng jū yú xiǎo jié ， fù rén zhī rén gèng shì bù kě ， xī shēng tā yí gè rén ， bǎo quán wǒ men dà jiā jué duì zhí de ， lǎo fū wéi yī fán nǎo de ， shì zhè xiē yín yú niǎo fēi xíng de sù dù tài kuài le ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ bǎi tuō 。” ān zhǎng lǎo tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō ：“ rú guǒ bù néng jiāng yín yú niǎo yǐn yuǎn yì diǎn ， wǒ men yī jiù wú fǎ huò dé ān quán 。
“小姐称心太软了，做大事者岂能居于小节，妇人之仁更是不可，牺牲他一个人，保全我们大家绝对值得，老夫唯一烦恼的，是这些银鱼鸟飞行的速度太快了，就算是元婴后期的修仙者，也没有办法摆脱。”安长老叹了一口气的说：“如果不能将银鱼鸟引远一点，我们依旧无法获得安全。
"Miss, you're too soft. Those who do great things shouldn't be bound by trivial matters; womanly compassion is even worse. Sacrificing one person to save us all is absolutely worth it," Uncle An sighed. "If we can’t lure the silver fishbirds far enough away, we still won’t gain safety.
huà yīn wèi luò ， xià miàn de yuán yīng qī xiū shì yǐ jīng yī zhèn sāo dòng ， bì jìng liǎng rén méi yǒu yòng chuán yīn zhī shù ， yǐ tā men de shén shí ， zì rán kě yǐ tīng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
话音未落，下面的元婴期修士已经一阵骚动，毕竟两人没有用传音之术，以他们的神识，自然可以听得清清楚楚。
His words were still echoing when the late-stage元婴 cultivators below began to stir. After all, they hadn't used sound transmission; with their spiritual senses, they could hear everything clearly.
However, in an instant, Lan Mingxiu's golden core self-destructed. The hundreds of feet wide hole it created was quickly filled by successive waves of demonic birds.
Silver Fishbirds didn't even know what fear meant.
Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly; with such a large number and their fearless nature, the spirit realm beast tide was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Uncle An, how come?"
"Miss, in times of chaos, severe measures are necessary. At this moment when people are confused, if we cannot use decisive actions to intimidate those with ill intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Oh!" Red Leaf Fairy nodded and didn't press further. Although Uncle An's actions were slightly inappropriate earlier, they could still be justified from a logical standpoint.

"I do have one." Uncle An’s eyes flashed with an eerie look.
Red Leaf didn’t notice and was overjoyed: "Really? Then what are you waiting for? Speak quickly; we can all be food for these demonic birds if we delay."
"Miss, please calm down. I’m not playing games; to resolve this crisis, there's another problem. Do you know what the silver fishbirds like to eat most?" "What do they like to eat?"
Red Leaf Fairy was taken aback, her expression surprised.
"I've only seen these demonic birds in ancient texts; they are naturally cruel and vicious, one of the most terrifying types in the beast tide. It’s said that silver fishbirds are greedy, eating anything from vegetables to live animals, almost nothing escapes their teeth. They’re like secular locusts but even more terrifying."
"Miss, your words are correct."
Uncle An continued speaking as he tapped his waist, producing a small green bottle about two inches high.
"Silver fishbirds don’t discriminate in what they eat, but they particularly love green berries and are obsessed with them. Unfortunately, such fruits aren't common in the East Sea..."
"Do you mean that the green berries in your hand are what silver fishbirds like to eat?" Red Leaf Fairy seemed to have an idea, her voice filled with excitement.
"Hmm, by chance, I obtained a few thousand-year-old green berries. The liquid inside this bottle is made from them. If the silver fishbirds smell it..."
"Uncle An means..." "Red Leaf Fairy suddenly understood and her eyes lit up in joy."
"Heh heh, why fight these demonic birds head-on or risk mutual destruction? As long as one person holds this item, naturally, we can lure the silver fishbirds away and gain safety." Uncle An's eyes flashed with a strange light as he chuckled.
"It’s true, but isn’t that person risking their life?" Red Leaf Fairy spoke with some reluctance.
"Miss, you're too soft. Those who do great things shouldn't be bound by trivial matters; womanly compassion is even worse. Sacrificing one person to save us all is absolutely worth it," Uncle An sighed. "If we can’t lure the silver fishbirds far enough away, we still won’t gain safety.
His words were still echoing when the late-stage元婴 cultivators below began to stir. After all, they hadn't used sound transmission; with their spiritual senses, they could hear everything clearly.
