Shi Lei had just managed to pull a scurrilous little loach out from between his rib bones—where it had tried to move in and build a nest—when a death-knell chime of "beep, beep" suddenly rang out from deep within his Dantian!
Poison Pill Broadcast (Internal Mind-Screen Voice):
[Warning! High-energy biological swarm approaching rapidly!]
[Direction: Directly above! Altitude: One hundred zhang! Speed: Breaking the sound barrier!]
[Locked targets: Surface attachments on this pill (the ultra-cool Wind Fiend Tail Feather stuck in the ribs) and the carrier of this pill (the fragile, charred skeleton body)]
[Threat level: ★★★★★ (Host is advised to immediately adopt the duck-and-cover defensive posture)]
"Squawk... aah!!"
A sharp screeching cry, carrying the sound of metal friction, tore through the sky! Shi Lei jerked his head up to see that the airspace above the valley was packed as densely as a plague of locusts with... birds! The large ones had a wingspan like a boat, while even the small ones exceeded a zhang. Silvery-gray feathers covered their entire bodies, their eyes were as sharp as hooks, and the beating of their countless wings kicked up razor-sharp wind blades that hacked the miasma clouds above the valley into shreds! Leading them all was none other than that Rift-Slicing Falcon granddaddy with half a tail missing!
