Holding his sword in front of his chest, Lu Chen's green eyes scanned the surroundings in the dark night.
The Shadow Bird was a creature of the Beastmen. It usually looked like a ghost and could penetrate everything. It almost merged with the night, but when it ate, it would show its physical body and emit a silver-gray light from its mouth.
The Shadow Bird's way of eating was extremely cruel. It would penetrate a certain part of the human body and then devour all the flesh, blood, bone marrow, and internal organs in the human body. Other than the surface layer of the human body, everything else was its target.
The most terrifying thing was that the Shadow Bird's feeding was almost endless. It could convert huge amounts of flesh and blood into something similar to an energy source and store it in its body. Therefore, even if a Shadow Bird did not eat for a long time, it would not die. It was different from the birds on Earth that we were familiar with. Because birds on Earth needed to fly, they needed to constantly eat to ensure that they had enough physical strength.
The reason why so many human skins had fallen was because the Shadow Bird was constantly storing energy sources. These energy sources were not only the energy to ensure the vitality of the body, but also to maintain long-term rapid flight.
However, the Shadow Bird had a special characteristic. It never landed easily. Although the Shadow Bird was extremely fast, its defense was the same as that of a normal bird. It was extremely weak, so it did not dare to land. It could rely on its speed to dodge attacks in the air, but the climbing process after landing was enough for more powerful creatures to kill it.
This was also the reason why Lu Chen asked Wu Lin and Gu Ling 'er to lie on the ground. The Shadow Birds that did not dare to land would not attack people who were lying on the ground.
At this moment, the crowd had gradually poured out of the subway entrance. There were also some people squatting in the corner, not daring to act rashly.
Not everyone had the courage to escape. There were many who chose to hide on the spot.
The Shadow Bird did not fly out of the subway entrance. The delicious food here was easy to obtain, so there was no need to take the risk and snatch it from other creatures. However, the person holding the sword seemed to have a dangerous aura, but the Shadow Bird only treated Lu Chen as a slightly stronger prey.
The Shadow Bird, which was far away from Lu Chen, quickly found its next prey. Another strange sound rang out, and the empty basement clearly echoed.
Lu Chen's feet moved, and his speed increased to the limit. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the man who was possessed by the Shadow Bird and slashed down with his sword.
However, this time, Lu Chen didn't stop after waving his sword like last time. Instead, at a very specific time, he took advantage of the situation. The frightened Shadow Bird had just retreated out of the man's body when it was swept by the Green Destiny Sword. Although it didn't break into two directly, its ghost-like body was now clearly visible in its abdomen. Its entire body slowly appeared, and a baby-sized sharp-beaked bird appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.
It had silver-gray feathers, a pair of wings that were half a meter long, and a beak that looked like a hook under its slender eyes. It emitted a faint light in the dark night.
The bird's eyes were filled with anger as it glared at Lu Chen. The Shadow Bird usually shuttled through any object like a ghost. However, other than revealing its physical body when it ate, the injured Shadow Bird could not maintain its invisible ability.
Therefore, when Lu Chen stabbed the Shadow Bird, the corners of his mouth already revealed a victorious smile.
"Very good. As long as the main body appears, it will be easy.”Lu Chen thought to himself.
Looking at the crest of the Shadow Bird carefully, the two red feathers were extremely eye-catching. This was an E-class Shadow Bird. Lu Chen knew that to distinguish the level of the Shadow Bird, he only needed to look at the number of red feathers on its crest. The number of red feathers represented its level.
Moreover, Lu Chen also understood that before the apocalypse completely erupted, the creatures in the crack were at most E-class creatures. At this moment, the two red-furred Shadow Birds on their heads were indeed within Lu Chen's expectations.
The Shadow Bird let out an ear-piercing cry, as if it had been provoked by the wound on its abdomen, or perhaps it had been injured by a human who had treated it as prey.
"Chirp!"
Then, the bird's beak with a dim light appeared in front of Lu Chen from ten meters away in the blink of an eye. Its target was Lu Chen's head.
"What a fast speed!" Even though Lu Chen was mentally prepared, this was the first time he encountered an E-class Shadow Bird in his life, and he was still shocked by its speed.
Lu Chen rolled to the right in a sorry state and barely dodged the Shadow Bird's attack. However, the armor on his left arm was torn open by the bird's beak, and a trace of blood seeped out from his sleeve.
Hiss!
Lu Chen couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Lu Chen, who did not have time to sigh, rolled to his side again. Then, a loud bang sounded beside him. The Shadow Bird's hard beak pecked out a basketball-sized hole in the cement ground.
Although the Shadow Bird's defense was extremely weak, its beak was unbelievably hard.
It would be difficult for Lu Chen to win with his speed. If it was not for the Iron Armor that blocked that attack, Lu Chen's left arm would have been crippled long ago.
It was too easy for an E-class Shadow Bird to pierce through an F-class armor. As for the E-class armor on the chest, it would probably be difficult to block the terrifying speed of the bird's beak.
He had to cut off the extremely threatening beak.
Before Lu Chen came to No.1 Middle School's subway station, he had already thought of the most effective way.
The premise of this method was that the Shadow Bird would reveal its true form.
When the Shadow Bird charged at Lu Chen again, Lu Chen's brain worked quickly to determine the direction of the Shadow Bird in advance. He deliberately revealed a flaw and exposed his chest under the beak of the Shadow Bird. His eyes that were flashing with surprise burst out with dense killing intent.
The bird's beak that was glowing with a dim light pierced straight towards Lu Chen's chest, and the strong wind instantly approached Lu Chen's chest.
However, at this moment, a wide palm firmly blocked his chest. The sharp beak easily pierced through Lu Chen's left palm and then hooked into his chest.
However, when the beak was blocked by the palm and hooked into Lu Chen's chest again, it could only pierce through the E-class armor on his chest with difficulty, but it could not continue to pierce through Lu Chen's chest.
Lu Chen's painful eyes revealed a trace of madness. His pierced palm ignored the pain and fiercely retracted and grabbed the beak. At the same time, the Green Destiny Sword in his right hand also swung down.
The Shadow Bird, which was not low in intelligence, realized that this was a trap the moment Lu Chen's palm appeared. It also retreated very quickly, but it was easy to get close to him, but difficult to retreat.
The moment the Shadow Bird's beak tore open Lu Chen's left hand and escaped, the Green Destiny Sword slashed fiercely at the beak.
If the Shadow Bird had not retreated in time, the Green Destiny Sword would have landed on its fat body.
The beak that was struck by the Green Destiny Sword broke into two. The beak that was as hard as steel could not block the sharpness of the Green Destiny Sword, and the sharp end fell to the ground.
The Shadow Bird, which had managed to escape, was bleeding from its beak. The blood dripped down from the broken beak. It looked miserable as it kept screaming.
"Chirp…Chirp…"
On the other side, Lu Chen's situation was even more terrifying. His entire left palm had been split into two, from the palm where the thumb and forefinger were broken to the pinkie bone. The palm bone in the middle was completely shattered.
