Chapter 362: Chapter 327: Besieged by Demons, Fight a Battle of Burnt Chicken! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)_2
[Red Crest] stood on Garuda’s back.
He craned his neck, looking around, and his gaze immediately fell upon the feathers on Garuda’s neck.
The next moment, his claw came down, tugging at a golden feather.
"Red Crest, what are you doing?"
Garuda felt an itch on his back and, sensing something odd at the back of his neck, asked.
"Giggle giggle giggle!"
"I want to be a great charioteer like Grandfather!"
"Uncle, could you let me try what it feels like to drive the Divine Chariot?"
Red Crest said.
On hearing this, Garuda’s eyes brightened, quite pleased.
It seems Red Crest has inherited Aruna’s ambition!
"All right!"
Just as Garuda finished speaking,
the next moment, he felt reins fall down, floating and swaying before his eyes.
"Red Crest, just grabbing my feathers will do!"
"Uncle, please, let’s use reins. You fly so fast, I’m scared!"
"Hmm, that makes sense..."
Without any suspicion, Garuda moved forward and slipped on the reins.
[Red Crest] let out a chuckle.
His sharp beak firmly gripped the reins, pulling backward.
"Red Crest!"
"That’s for slowing down the chariot, don’t pull!"
Garuda’s neck reared back as he promptly said.
[Red Crest]’s large claw clung tightly to Garuda’s back, his beak biting the reins, dragging them backward while making noises.
"Understood!"
"Giggle! Giggle! Giggle giggle!"
[Red Crest] said.
"???"
Garuda turned his head, staring at Red Crest who was vigorously pulling the reins, his golden eyes filled with confusion.
This guy must be here to make trouble!
Why does he keep pulling backward?
Garuda looked back and saw Kashigyakya getting closer and closer, about to catch up.
Whoosh!
Garuda folded his wings.
He simply alighted back in the void, shook his eagle head to loosen the reins, and also let down the Red Crest on his back.
Swoosh!
Kashigyakya also caught up, driving a peacock.
"We’ve caught up!"
Kashigyakya exclaimed happily.
Garuda’s golden eyes sparkled for a moment, sweeping over Kashigyakya, Flower Tail, and Red Crest.
"You’re all in this together, aren’t you!"
Garuda’s gaze lowered, he said in a somber voice.
Kashigyakya stood with hands on hips, head tilted back, glaring straight into Garuda’s golden eyes.
"That’s right!"
"Flower Crown and Red Tail are my friends!"
Kashigyakya declared proudly.
Oh?
Watching Kashigyakya stand his ground, Garuda shook his head and said.
"In a fair competition,"
"using underhanded tactics is illegal!"
Garuda said.
He was, after all, a Dharma Warrior and could not stand by as Kashigyakya walked the path of illegality.
He must take this opportunity to teach him a lesson!
"In a righteous challenge, getting help from friends and using wisdom to defeat the enemy is in accordance with the Righteous Law!"
"Friendship brings forth sincerity, friendship brings forth strength!"
"The power of my friends is my power!"
Kashigyakya, patting his chest, declared with pride.
Whoosh!
[Flower Tail] lightly quivered his body, spreading his azure, shimmering tail feathers, resplendently colorful, cheerfully cheering on.
Giggle giggle giggle!
Red Crest stood next to Kashigyakya, shaking his head, his large red comb fluttering like a rainbow, showing his agreement to the speech.
"This complies with the Righteous Law?"
Garuda crossed his arms, tilting his head, his golden eyes flashing, questioning.
Kashigyakya shook his head.
"Teacher said!"
"I am the future savior of the Heavenly Realm, the hero who will protect the Devas, the Heavenly Emperor who will protect the virtuous and the wise!"
"As long as I don’t harm the good people!"
"Then I am a Dharma Warrior!"
Kashigyakya stated solemnly.
Garuda: "..."
He opened his mouth slightly, speechless for a moment.
Dharma Warrior?
Is everyone allowed to use this title now?
What exactly did Indra teach Kashigyakya, and why does he assert himself so boldly as a Dharma Warrior, and even aspire to be the Heavenly Emperor?
It’s so strange!
Garuda was speechless.
His golden eyes swiveled and he immediately turned towards Huawei and Hongguan.
These two fellows gathered by Kashigyakya’s side, standing tall and proud with feathers rustling in the wind, looking very happy.
"This time you’ve won!"
Garuda shook his head, stood tall, and said softly.
Such unity and cooperation between the three of them was praiseworthy, worthy of earning them a victory.
"!!!"
Upon hearing these words, Kashigyakya was thrilled.
His eyes sparkled like stars as he gazed intently at the beautiful wings before him.
Huawei and Hongguan were also filled with excitement, flapping their wings and shaking their feathers. They raised their sharp talons in succession, stepping on the waves, and began to dance with their wings.
Tap tap tap! Tap tap!
The cheerful sound of water tapping continued, splashing water everywhere, cool and refreshing.
Garuda was speechless.
He had lost, yet these two were cheering for Kashigyakya.
It seemed being with the Supreme Lord and good friends made them forget their ancestors.
Suddenly, Kashigyakya blinked, his gaze sharpened, and he swiftly looked into the distance.
In the far void, waves rippled.
It seemed as if a giant rift had opened in the sky, and countless monstrous tides, one after another, surged out of this rift, heading towards them.
"Great Wings of Beauty, Garuda!"
"There seems to be something over there!"
Kashigyakya raised his hand, pointing behind Garuda, and said.
Upon hearing this, Garuda shook his head.
"Our challenge is over, don’t try to divert my attention with something else. When I fly back later, I won’t let you," Garuda said, crossing his arms.
Huawei and Hongguan also stopped dancing, stood tall, and looked far into the distance.
"Grandfather, there really seems to be something behind you!"
"Yes, great-uncle, a lot of them!"
Huawei and Hongguan exclaimed in alarm.
What?!
Garuda looked down and through their eyes, he vaguely saw a glimmer of light.
The next moment, he suddenly turned his head, and his golden eagle eyes narrowed instantly.
"Demons!"
"So many demons!"
Garuda frowned, a serious expression on his face. He looked around and saw demons everywhere, a vast and endless swarm.
How could there be so many demons?!
Garuda looked anxious, turned his head towards Kashigyakya and the others, and said, "Come onto my back, I’ll take you back to Vighna!"
As he spoke, Garuda’s body shimmered.
He transformed into a giant golden-winged bird, carrying Kashigyakya and the others on his back, flapping his wings and soaring towards the unshakable city with a thousand gates.
Above the sky.
Hisss!!!
The thousand-headed Snake King, Shesha, suddenly became alert.
His previous drowsiness vanished in an instant, and all his heads opened their mouths, flickering their tongues, sniffing the scent coming from the Milk Sea.
Pairs of vertical snake pupils glowed eerily, eyelids flickered, fixated on the scene below.
Hisss hisss hisss!
"Demons!"
"So many demons indeed!"
Shesha rejuvenated, his thousands of heads peered forward, and countless strings of sticky saliva fell like waterfalls.
"Eh?"
"Why is Garuda running?"
"He seemed to be in meditation last time and did not smell the fragrance. He doesn’t know how delicious these demons are!"
"No good!"
"I must tell the Devas!"
Shesha murmured to himself.
The next moment, one of his heads quickly descended, instantly heading to Vighna, searching for the traces of the Devas.
...
Whoosh!
Garuda spread his wings and flew, the golden light breaking through the waves, gradually approaching the impregnable Vighna.
He looked up and, blinking his golden eyes, saw a host of Devas.
The Devas gathered here.
They wore solemn expressions, their eyes sharp.
Their Divine Armor shone brilliantly, exuding a sacred and vast aura.
The Gandharva Army, armed with divine spears and great shields, stood in neat Thunder Mace Formations, some on Divine Chariots, some on Divine Ships, vast and imposing with high spirits.
"Are all the Devas ready?"
Garuda was surprised.
Could it be that the Devas all knew the news?
Kashigyakya also widened his eyes, curiously and excitedly watching the scene.
Thump thump thump!
His heart pounded wildly, and his blood surged within his chest.
This was battle! This was war!
He too wanted to join the fight!
In Kashigyakya’s eyes, the Devas slowly parted, revealing a clear path in the middle.
A figure consequently emerged!
