Chapter 78: ck gue Bird_l


    Trantor: 549690339


    Above thegoon.


    Large ck birds opened their gaping mouths, spewing out gushes of wind that transformed into an onught of arrows.


    Chen Mobai immediately crouched in the Spirit Boat, activating two Rank-1 lower-grade Wooden Shield charms he held in his hands. Two green protective shells appeared, encapsting his upper body.


    Apanied by persistent thuds, the first Wooden Shield charm quickly expended its energy, the second one didn’tst much longer. However, at this point, the major onught of wind arrows had been blocked.


    Breaking past the twoyers of Wood Escape defense, only three “arrow- remained, heading towards Chen Mobai’s head. His “Water Elemental Shield” sprung into action, forming three water ripples that blocked the forward path of the wind arrows.


    “Are you guys ready yet?”


    Chen Mobai pulled out another two talismans from his pocket while asking this to hispanions behind him.


    “We’re ready!”


    The voice of Qi Hou rang out, immediately followed by a burst of scorching heat from behind Chen Mobai. A streak of crimson Sword Light shot up into the sky, swooping across the dozen or sorge ckbirds above thegoon.


    Squawk!


    Apanied by shrieks of the birds, the leading bird was cleaved in two by Qi Hou’s crimson Sword Light. The remaining birds scattered in all directions without a leader, however, some were quickly ughtered by Ba Jiang and the others who were lying in wait.


    “The meat of these ck gue Birds is not tasty and won’t fetch a good price


    in the Fang Market.”


    Qi Hou looked at the talisman in his hand that was turning into ashes, then nced at the bird corpses floating on thegoon, a pained expression on his face.


    This Rank-1 top-grade “Crimson me Sword Talisman” was worth 8 Spirit Stones. Leading newbies had resulted in a loss this time.


    However, he didn’t dare toin. After all, such business often bnces between profit and loss.


    -There are people who buy bird feathers and they can sell for some gold.” Seeing the expression on Qi Hou’s face, Ba Xing, who was perceptive, quickly chimed in. No sooner had her words left her mouth, than a fellow disciple by the name of Xi gave her a stem look – he was the one expected to do the job of plucking feathers.


    “No need, it’s not worth the time.”


    However, Qi Hou quickly epted the situation. Once again, he brought out a Spirit Stone and ced it inside the Spirit Boat, motioning for Chen Mobai and the others to leave.


    The ck gue Birds always moved in groups, with thergest ones reportedly as high as Rank-2.


    Having now killed a group, some of which had escaped, they feared that several groups may return to take vengeance. Drawing on his rich experience, Qi Hou promptly made the team leave the area after their actions.


    Before they left, Qi Hou insisted that they remove and toss away the jackets stained with bird’s blood. It was by these scents that ck gue Birds tracked down their enemies.


    Sure enough, shortly after their departure, a dark cloud of ck birds arrived, circling non-stop around the area where they had killed the birds and ditched their jackets, causing gusty winds.


    “I didn’t expect this to attract the king of these birds. We can’te to this ce anymore.”


    Qi Hou used a long-distance viewing talisman to observe the situation and felt a strong, vicious Spiritual Machine that far surpassed his own. He frowned and marked an X on his map over this location.


    ■■We were fortunate to have Senior Brother Qi leading us. Otherwise, we would never have been able to escape from these ck gue Birds.


    After taking a pill to restore his Spiritual Power, Ba Jiang stood up and thanked


    Qi Hou.


    “Each one takes what he needs.”


    But Qi Hou simply shook his head. He had chosen this location as a team leader. Having experienced different times before, this location was swarmed by some Water Serpent Bull demonic beasts at the most, which was an excellent ce for newbies and Loose Cultivators to practice.


    Today, however, it was unexpectedly filled with arge flock of ck gue Birds, including a Rank-2 king bird close by.


    The Divine Wood Sect’s newbie guidance task usuallysted a month.


    Chen Mobai had joined several teams before, however, he found Qi Hou to be the most reliable and thus decided to team up again. The Ba siblings also did the same. This was their third expedition as a five-member team and they had grown quite familiar with one another.


    “Tomorrow, let’s go hunt some ck Armored Turtles.


    Qi HOU spoke again. He was merely at the Qi Cultivation ninth level. Despite his self-confidence forpeting in a Magic Duel with the same level because of his years of experience in hunting demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, facing a Rank-2 bird king which was equivalent to an Establishment Foundation level would be impossible to win, even if there were ten of him.


    He was leading newbies, it was certainly not a suicide mission. Therefore, he saw that this area was no longer safe and changed the n promptly.


    “Um, Brother Qi, I might need to iste myself to make some talismans in the next few days.”


    Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up. He indicated that he had gained much from these few days along with Qi Hou, but he had run out of Spirit Stones, and thus, couldn’t afford to continue teaming up.


    The Ba siblings were taken aback. Although they weren’t short on Spirit Stones at the moment, they didn’t find the location where the ck Armored Turtles were hunted appealing after one experience. They also sought an excuse and decided not to team up anymore.


    Qi Hou heard this and didn’t show any signs of anger.


    “Looking at your talismans, they are all inclined towards the wood attribute, do you n to join our Divine Wood Sect?”


    The disciple named Xi, who had always ignored them, suddenly asked.


    “I do n to do so.”


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.


    “Your name is Chen Guixian, right? I’ll remember you.”


    Disciple Xi lifted his head, gave Chen Mobai a serious look and nodded as though giving approval.


    “With your talent, it should be no problem for you to join our Divine Wood Sect. Maybe you’ll be my fellow disciples in the future. It’s good to get acquainted earlier.”


    The words of Qi Hou surprised the Ba siblings. They knew the requirements of Divine Wood Sect for recruiting Loose Cultivators: one shouldn’t be older than 30 years old and must be at least Qi Cultivation seventh level. Although they had teamed up several times in the past few days, Chen Mobai had never disclosed his realm.


    They had thought he was at the maximum of the Qi Cultivation sixth level, just like themselves.


    However, his conduct in blocking the ck gue Birds today had revealed his true realm to Qi Hou. Without the development of the Divine Sense, it would be impossible to evolve from a person who was flustered while fighting a ck Armored Turtle to someone who handled it with such ease today.


    ■Brother Chen, I never imagined that you were a Talisman Maker. No wonder you have an endless supply of talismans. Some of them we siblings never even seen before.”


    Learning about Chen Mobai’s realm, Ba Jiang became even more courteous towards him.


    “Oh, not at all. I’m just interested in this field.”


    Afternding on the ind, Qi Hou and his junior disciple left early. Chen Mobai exchanged a few pleasantries with the Ba siblings, gently declined their invitation to a meal, and returned to his wooden house.


    “Without realizing it, I have been here for twenty days.”


    Chen Mobai looked at the ordinary ink-colored robe he had bought on Green Light Ind and couldn’t help but be moved.


    His ancient-style suit had worn out in battle a long time ago. Although life in the Tianhe Realm was hard, he became addicted to the daily feeling of self-improvement.


    If it weren’t for today being the day of the college entrance examination results, he would have almost forgotten to return to Earth..
