The leading Sand Nightmare Beast let out a strange roar, its claws grasping at the void, causing hundreds of sharp stones to leap from the rock forest, forming sand arrows a yard long in the air, their tips gleaming coldly as they all shot towards the Vermilion Bird's head.
The ship's fire patterns abruptly flared bright like red-hot iron webbing, twelve wing panels flipped outward sharply, spewing out flames half a yard high. The sand arrows collided with the wall of fire, instantly melting into scalding mud that flowed down the wing panels, condensing into smoke clouds in mid-air.
Seeing this, Li Janning glanced at Li Jian'an beside her, "Interested in using them for practice?"
Li Jian'an nodded, "Don't stray too far from me!"
Li Janning grinned, lifted into the air, and flew straight out of the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat's protective range, with Li Jian'an following closely. Ning Yun saw this but did not stop them, nor did he have any intention of stepping forward.
