Above the water.
The big black birds opened their big mouths and spit out strong winds, turning into wind arrows.
Chen Mobai immediately squatted in the spirit boat, activated two first-level low-grade wooden shield talismans in his hands, and two cyan shield-shaped light curtains appeared, covering his entire upper body.
With the beep beep sound, the power of the first wooden shield talisman was exhausted, and the second one did not last long, but at this time, the large-scale wind arrows had been blocked.
After breaking through the two layers of wood escape defense, there were only three left that could land on Chen Mobai's head. The "Water Element Shield" moved with his thoughts and turned into three water waves to block the path of the wind arrow.
"Not ready yet?"
Chen Mobai took out two more talismans from his inner lining and asked from behind.
"alright!"
Qi Hou's voice sounded, and then a scorching breath exploded behind Chen Mobai, and a fiery red sword light rose across the sky, like a thunderbolt passing over a dozen big black birds over the water.
Karma!
Accompanied by the shrill cries of birds, the big bird at the head was cut in half by Qi Hou's fiery red sword light. The remaining waterfowl lost their leader and dispersed in an instant. However, some of them were still killed long ago. Ba Jiang and others were waiting to kill him.
"The meat of this Black Plague Bird is not delicious, and it cannot be sold at a good price in the market."
Qi Hou looked at the talisman that turned to ashes in his hand, and then at the bird corpse floating on the water, with a look of heartache on his face.
This first-grade high-grade "Red Flame Sword Talisman" is worth 8 spiritual stones. This time I brought a new person, but I lost money.
But it was hard for him to say anything. After all, in such things as buying and selling, if you make a profit, you will definitely lose.
"Someone has bought this bird's feathers and can sell them for some gold."
When Ba Xing saw Qi Hou's expression, she spoke immediately with a delicate mind. As soon as she said this, Junior Brother Xi raised his head and glared at her, asking him to do the job of plucking the bird's feathers.
"No need, this little gold is not worth a spiritual stone, it's not worth wasting time."
Qi Hou immediately looked away. He took out a spirit stone again and put it into the spirit boat, and asked Chen Mobai and the others to leave.
Black Plague Birds always live in groups, and the tallest ones are said to be of the second level.
Now that I have killed a group of people, but not all of them, I am afraid that several more groups will come to take revenge. Qi Hou is very experienced, so he immediately told his team to run away after taking action.
Before leaving, Qi Hou also asked them to take off their coats stained with bird blood and throw them away, so that the Black Plague Bird could track its enemies.
Sure enough, not long after they left, a mass of black plague birds flew over, circling around the place where they had just killed the birds and thrown the clothes, bombarded by strong winds.
"I didn't expect that it actually attracted the Bird King. I can't come to this place anymore."
Qi Hou used a long-sighted talisman to observe, and felt a powerful and ferocious spirit far beyond his own. He couldn't help but frowned, took out his map, and marked this place with a cross.
"Thankfully, Senior Brother Qi is leading the team this time, otherwise we would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of this Black Plague Bird."
After Ba Jiang took a pill that restored his spiritual power, he stood up and thanked Qi Hou.
"Everyone takes what he needs."
But Qi Hou shook his head. In fact, he, the leader of the team, also chose this place. At this time, there were only a few water pythons and bull monsters at most. It was also a good place for newcomers and casual cultivators to gain experience.
But I don’t know what happened today, but there was such a large group of black plague birds, and there was even a second-level bird king nearby.
Shenmu Sect's task of bringing in new members usually lasts for one month.
Chen Mobai followed a few more teams, but felt that Qi Hou was more reliable, so he followed him out again this time. The same goes for the Bashi brothers and sisters. This is their third trip as a team of five, so they are somewhat familiar with each other.
"Let's hunt the black turtle again tomorrow."
Qi Hou spoke again. He was only at the ninth level of Qi training. Although he had hunted monsters in Yunmengze for many years and was confident that his fighting skills were the best among those at the same level, the second level Bird King was already at the foundation level. Even if there are ten, he has no chance of winning.
He brought new people, not to risk his life, so when he saw that this area was no longer safe, he immediately changed his plan.
"Well, Brother Qi Dao, I may have to retreat to make some talismans in the next few days."
Chen Mobai suddenly spoke. He said that he had gained a lot from following Qi Hou in the past few days, but he had also run out of spiritual stones and he really couldn't afford to follow the group.
The Ba brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment. Although they were not short of spiritual stones for the time being, after experiencing the black-armored turtle area, it no longer appealed to them, so they also found an excuse not to join the group.
The Marquis of Qi was not angry after hearing this.
"Looking at your talismans, they all tend towards the wood attribute. Do you plan to join our Shenmu Sect?"
Junior Brother Xi, who had been ignoring them, suddenly asked.
"That's the plan."
Chen Mobai was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and nodded lightly.
"Your name is Chen Guixian, right? I remember you."
Junior Brother Xi raised his head, looked at Chen Mobai seriously, and nodded as if in recognition.
"With your talent, it shouldn't be a problem to join our Shenmu Sect. Maybe you will be brothers in the future, so it would be good to get to know each other in advance."
Marquis Qi's words shocked the Ba family brothers and sisters. They knew that the Shenmu Sect's requirements for recruiting casual cultivators were that they should not be over 30 years old and should be above the seventh level of Qi training. Although they have teamed up for several operations these days, Chen Mobai has never revealed his level.
They thought that they could only reach the sixth level of Qi training at most, just like them.
However, blocking the Black Plague Bird today allowed Qi Hou to see Chen Mobai's true state. Without practicing spiritual consciousness, it would have been impossible to go from a person who was struggling to fight a black-armored turtle to being as skillful as he is today in such a short period of time.
"Brother Chen Dao, I didn't expect to be a talisman maker. No wonder there are so many talismans on my body, some of which we, brother and sister, have never even seen before."
After Ba Jiang knew Chen Mobai's level, he was even more polite to him.
"No, I'm just interested in this aspect."
After arriving on the island, Qi Hou took his junior brother and left first. Chen Mobai and the Ba family brother and sister exchanged polite words, declined the latter's invitation to treat guests, and returned to their wooden house.
“Before I knew it, I had been here for twenty days.”
Chen Mobai looked at the ordinary dark-colored gown he bought on Qingguang Island and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
His ancient suit had long been worn out in battles. Although his life in Tianhe Realm was hard, he felt a little addicted to it as he felt his improvement every day.
If it weren't for today being the day to check the scores of the college entrance examination, he would have almost forgotten to return to Diyuanxing.
