Chapter 107 The Territory of the Warbler Clan and the Challenge of the Sky

After defeating the Black Wind Bear, Zhang Yifan breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although the battle had left him exhausted, he knew he had to continue to complete the mission.

He turned and nodded slightly to the spirit monkeys to express his gratitude. The spirit monkeys seemed to understand his feelings and chirped in response to his thanks.

They then disappeared into the depths of the forest, as if they had never been there. Zhang Yifan didn't linger, knowing he was still a long way from the Thousand Water River and couldn't waste time here.

So he resumed his journey, heading towards the territory of the Warbler Clan. As time passed, changes in the environment gradually became apparent.

The trees in the forest became sparser, open spaces gradually increased, and the atmosphere around us changed completely. The sky here seemed exceptionally vast, as if it had no boundaries, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the earth, creating an area where light and shadow intertwined.

Zhang Yifan noticed that there wasn't much vegetation around; instead, there were towering cliffs and massive rocks, as if this territory wasn't suitable for ordinary creatures to inhabit. A thought struck Zhang Yifan, realizing he had entered the territory of the Black Oriole Clan.

The Warbler Clan is a demon race skilled in flight, possessing formidable aerial combat capabilities. Their territory is typically located in the air, with their nests built atop towering cliffs and rocks, making them extremely secretive and difficult to access.

Zhang Yifan raised his head, his gaze fixed on the warblers circling in the sky. These birds were much larger than ordinary birds, with jet-black feathers, sharp eyes, and sharp claws and strong wings that made them almost invincible in the air.

Their eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were constantly watching everything on the ground. Zhang Yifan knew that if he wanted to pass through this territory, he would inevitably face a challenge from these aerial creatures.

Although he had enough strength to deal with it, he also knew that this battle would not be easy.

As Zhang Yifan cautiously moved forward, suddenly, several warblers swooped down from the sky and quickly locked onto his position. Their wings created gusts of wind, and their sharp claws were as razor-sharp as they aimed directly at Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan was taken aback, but reacted quickly, raising his hand to cast a spell that instantly formed a radiant shield around himself, blocking the first wave of attacks from the Black Oriole.

Although the warbler's attack was powerful, it did not penetrate Zhang Yifan's shield. Each impact caused the shield's surface to vibrate slightly, emitting a buzzing sound.

However, such a shield could not last long. The attacks of the warbler, which were imbued with spiritual power, were extremely powerful. Zhang Yifan knew that if he could not get rid of the birds' entanglement, the shield would be broken sooner or later.

He quickly realized that the best way to escape the aerial attacks was to use the terrain. He looked around for a place to take cover, and his gaze finally settled on a grove of trees not far away.

The dense trees there provided him with some cover.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yifan ran towards the woods, hoping to use the trees for cover and avoid the warblers' attack. However, the warblers had clearly anticipated his intentions. They quickly split into several groups in the air, some continuing to swoop down from the front, while others attacked from the sides and behind.

Although Zhang Yifan was agile, he still seemed somewhat outmatched by the aerial advantage of the warbler.

Each time he dodged one warbler, another would launch a surprise attack from the side or behind, preventing him from letting his guard down completely. His shield gradually weakened over time, and he nearly fell victim to the warblers' sharp talons several times.

Within just a few minutes, Zhang Yifan's physical strength began to wane, but he knew he couldn't stop there and had to keep going.

Just as Zhang Yifan was feeling flustered, a huge cave suddenly appeared in the cliff in front of him. Zhang Yifan's heart skipped a beat, and without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran towards the cave.

This choice was clearly wise, as the cave entrance was relatively hidden, limiting the warbler's field of vision and making it unlikely that it would easily chase the bird inside.

Upon entering the cave, Zhang Yifan breathed a deep sigh of relief, having temporarily escaped the aerial pursuit. He looked around and discovered that the cave was very spacious and filled with deep, dark passages.

The warblers circled outside the cave, seemingly hesitant to enter this unfamiliar place. Zhang Yifan knew that the cave had given him a temporary respite, but he couldn't stay here long; he had to find a way to bypass the warbler tribe's territory.

During his exploration inside the cave, Zhang Yifan discovered several ancient murals. These murals, with their simple and archaic style, clearly date back hundreds or even thousands of years.

They depicted scenes of battle between humans and demons, along with some strange symbols and patterns. Zhang Yifan observed them closely and discovered that these murals had some connection to the Black Oriole Clan.

Part of the mural depicts the characteristics of the Warbler Clan: they are extremely sensitive to a special kind of light. That light can temporarily disable them from flying, or even significantly slow down their flight speed.

Zhang Yifan's heart stirred, recalling that he had obtained a strange crystal in a previous adventure. This crystal emitted a faint light, which seemed to match the description in the mural very well.

Zhang Yifan immediately searched his storage ring for the crystal. After some searching, he finally found the faintly glowing crystal. Although he had never understood the crystal's purpose, he suddenly realized that it might be the key to dealing with the Blackbird.

He grasped the crystal and activated it. Instantly, a bright light surged from the crystal, illuminating the entire cave. Zhang Yifan stepped out of the cave, stood at the entrance, and held the crystal high.

The light spread rapidly, illuminating the surrounding air. The warblers were immediately drawn to the light, and their frantic flight became unstable. Some warblers even fell from the sky, unable to adapt to the intense light, letting out painful cries.

Seeing the warblers' reaction, Zhang Yifan was overjoyed, knowing he had finally found a breakthrough. Taking advantage of the warblers' confusion, he quickly ran deeper into the warbler tribe's territory. Along the way, he used the light emitted by the crystal to disperse the surrounding warblers, trying his best to avoid enemy attacks.

Guided by the crystal's light, Zhang Yifan gradually traversed the territory of the Black Oriole Clan, finally approaching his goal. Despite experiencing fierce pursuit and perilous challenges along the way, he ultimately overcame the obstacles of the sky with his wisdom and courage.

With the threat of the warbler temporarily averted, Zhang Yifan felt a sense of relief. He understood that this was only the first hurdle on the road to the Thousand Water River; unknown dangers and challenges still lay ahead. But regardless, he was ready to continue his journey.
