Beauty and the Bodyguard

Fortunately, the three of them did not have to be on tenterhooks for too long. A shrill cry came from the distant sky. Then, three black shadows rapidly approached from the sky and suddenly swooped down. The three disciples of the ancient Alliance did not even have time to react before they were taken away by the black shadows. The strongest among them was at the peak of the intermediate stage of the foundation building realm. However, from the beginning to the end, he did not have the slightest ability to resist and became prey through and through.

"What the hell is this?" Chentian and the others jumped in shock.

It was only now that they saw the three Shadows clearly-they were all slender birds. They weren't as big as the ghost-eyed Golden Eagles Lin Yi had seen before, but they weren't small either. They were at least three meters tall.

It wouldn't be a big deal if that was all, but the three birds had human faces-there were men and women, and they seemed to be able to communicate with each other. This, however, made people panic even more, especially song Lingshan and the other women. They all turned pale and quickly hid behind Lin Yi, even Leng Leng, who was a Foundation Paragon, was no exception.

This kind of fear had nothing to do with strength. The key was that the other party's human face and bird body were too bizarre. Especially to humans, it was probably more terrifying than any hideous and ugly thing!

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but take in a cold breath,"Goumang?"

A human face with a bird's body-this was an image that only existed in ancient myths. He didn't expect to see it today in the ancient trial ground that only appeared once in a thousand years. This was simply unbelievable!

"This image seems to belong to only Gou mang. Could those ancient myths and legends be true?" Chentian and the others were dumbfounded. They were all practitioners, but that was why they knew that legends were just legends. They were completely different from reality, but now that Gou mang had appeared, was he still a legend?

"God knows ..." Lin Yi was speechless. The appearance of these three goumang's was a huge blow to everyone's outlook on life!

While everyone was shocked and speechless, the three goumangs had already devoured the bodies in their hands, but they still looked as if they wanted more. Their greedy eyes soon fell on Lin Yi's group, making everyone's scalp numb.

"Hehe, it looks like you didn't eat your fill." Lin Yi laughed coldly. He was someone who'd seen big scenes, after all. This horrifying image of goumang would only make him a little suspicious at most. When he recovered, he would be no different from a normal spirit beast in his eyes. He'd kill and destroy it when he needed to.

Besides, these three goumang weren't that strong. They were much stronger than the fire bats, but they were at most on the level of a Foundation Stage master. They couldn't be compared to the strong spirit beasts Lin Yi saw on Sky Class Island.

That being said, from the way they killed a mid-foundation level cultivator so effortlessly, it was clear that each of them was no weaker than a peak foundation level cultivator. They were a threat to Lingshan's group.

The three goumangs tilted their heads and talked to each other, and the crowd was confused. Chentian couldn't help but ask,"What kind of language are they speaking?"

"Of course, they're discussing who to eat first. Fatty Lai, you have to worry, you're the meaty one, you'll be the first one to suffer." Ziyu gathered her courage and teased. She was scared, but she was a brave person, and she'd recovered now. Other than the scary image, the three weren't that scary-Lin Yi was there, after all.

"That might not be the case. I have a lot of meat, but the fat doesn't taste good. You girls, on the other hand, have soft skin and tender flesh, so you have to worry a little." Fatty Lai laughed.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. He was a little worried that the three goumang would scare everyone out of their wits-it'd be troublesome if something went wrong, but now it seemed like he was just worrying for nothing. Everyone's mental fortitude was much better than he expected.

The three goumang mumbled for a long time, and it seemed that they had finally come to an agreement. Suddenly, they soared into the sky, and everyone formed a defensive formation as if they were facing a great enemy. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. They actually left just like that, with no intention of touching them at all.

The crowd couldn't help but look at each other, but they were clearly relieved. If they really fought with these three goumang, it was hard to say what the result would be.

Only Lin Yi didn't let his guard down at all. He was still using his spirit sense to check every movement around him. After a while, he smiled and said,"He actually played this kind of trick with us. He left and came back. He's really a monster."

"He left and returned? They're back?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they were no longer as afraid as they were at the beginning, the oppressive and fierce aura of the three goumang was real. It would be a lie to say that they were not nervous at all. To them, these three were 100% ferocious.

"It's not that they're back, but that they didn't leave at all. What happened just now was just a smokescreen to confuse us. " Lin Yi explained. His spirit sense covered a wide range, and it would be weird if he couldn't even lock onto goumang, who was only at Foundation peak.

"So cunning!" Everyone hurriedly maintained a defensive formation and guarded against the three goumang as if they were facing a great enemy. Even a peak mid-stage Foundation establishment cultivator had become their food, let alone the rest of them. If they couldn't form a defensive formation, they probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the goumang's teeth.

A moment later, two black shadows suddenly dashed out of the dense forest and attacked everyone from the left and right. They were the two goumang that they had just seen.

"Leng Leng!" Lin Yi shouted as he took on the left goumang. At the same time, coold took on the right goumang.

Two fists couldn't fight four hands. After all, Lin Yi himself was only at Foundation peak. He could deal with one, but two at the same time would be hard. He needed Leng Leng to take the lead, or Lingshan and the others would have to face goumang's surprise attack head-on. The consequences would be hard to predict even with the defensive formation.

Leng Leng threw an ice-shattering palm at the menacing goumang, but the latter ignored it and blocked it with a wing. It seemed like goumang was not affected by the ice-shattering aura at all, and there was no sign of his speed being slowed by the frostbite. (To be continued.)
