In a moment of lament, Nezha's figure wavered mid-air.
He sensed the disturbance in the airflow and turned his head in confusion to look behind him.
He saw six strange birds circling over his head, their powerful wings altering even the direction of the wind.
The birds were bizarre because each had three heads and three pairs of claws.
"Three-headed and six-armed?"
Nezha raised an eyebrow; the birds circled even more frantically.
It turned out that beneath the floor of the Fir Forest lived a creature called the God-slaying Worm. Whenever it stirred, it disturbed the earth, and even a cultivator of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm entering it without mana was doomed to die.
The only responses were either to jump into the air or find a way to fly to the sky.
Accordingly, every time the God-slaying Worm moved, aerial predators would appear to hunt for those who slipped through the net. The people of Heavenly Termination Town called these birds Ghost Birds.
