There is no need for Manager Wang to remind.
Everyone looked up and saw at the end of their line of sight, where the water and the sky meet, as if a drop of ink had been spilled. In an instant, it spread out in all directions, forming patches of dark black clouds.
“It’s the Black Plague Bird!”
Chen Mobai immediately recognized this kind of demonic beast, which caused both Qi Hou and himself to flee and was also the culprit behind the death of Ba Jiang’s sister.
“Sure enough, the fastest to arrive is this group of beasts.”
A disciple of the Shenmu Sect had a cold expression and came to the bare tree, inserting a specially made talisman.
“Everyone, the ‘Heavenly Wood Divine Light’ will sweep the area first, but in order to avoid being discovered by the demonic beasts and to defend against attacks from second-stage demonic beasts, as long as we can resist, the ‘Heavenly Wood Divine Light’ will not be activated again.”
Manager Wang quickly explained the tactics for the next battle, and Chen Mobai also understood the reason behind it.
It was written in the booklet given to him earlier.
Since there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator on the island for the time being, and there were definitely more than one or two second-stage demonic beasts on the other side, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation on Qingguang Island, which could severely injure second-stage demonic beasts, was their last resort.
The thirty-six spiritual trees in the formation stored thirty-six “Heavenly Wood Divine Lights”.
Once activated, even second-stage demonic beasts would lose half their lives if they were hit head-on. Some weaker ones might even be directly pulverized.
But after these thirty-six “Heavenly Wood Divine Lights” were used up, the second-stage demonic beasts would no longer be afraid and would rush onto Qingguang Island to kill.
However, the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” was not irrecoverable. The talisman that the disciple of the Shenmu Sect had just inserted into the formation flag had this effect.
It could allow the spiritual trees that had activated the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” to quickly absorb the spiritual energy of the earth veins within two hours and recharge another “Heavenly Wood Divine Light”.
Therefore, the battle to defend Qingguang Island depended on whether they could use the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” to deter the second-stage demonic beasts while resisting the large-scale invasion of the demonic beasts.
But there were also many talented people in the Shenmu Sect, and they understood the principle of being real when empty and empty when real.
Only to see that after tens of thousands of Black Plague Birds flew over Qingguang Island, four “Heavenly Wood Divine Lights” immediately shot up into the sky.
One of them was the one emitted by the spiritual tree formation flag they were guarding.
Boom!
Chen Mobai felt a surge of spiritual energy that could crush him suddenly surge out from the depths of the cliff he was standing on, and then be absorbed by the spiritual tree that surrounded his small team.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
The clear and pure light column, like a sword, split the sky and vaporized a large number of Black Plague Birds that were surging up. Thousands of demonic beasts turned into a dark red mist, dyeing half of the sky red.
Li!
A sharp and angry scream sounded, and Chen Mobai felt his mind become dizzy for a moment. He immediately activated the Mind Nurturing and Divine Casting Technique and quickly regained clarity.
But the cultivators around him who had not cultivated their divine sense were stumbling and some of the lower cultivation ones even had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, falling by the edge of the cliff.
“It’s a second-stage Bird King, and there are actually three of them!”
Manager Wang glanced at the sky and his expression was both shocked and delighted.
The power of the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” was indeed extraordinary. It directly severely injured one of the second-stage Black Plague Bird Kings and caused it to fall onto the island. Another second-stage Bird King had its wings evaporated, leaving only the fastest one that managed to dodge the wide-range sweep of the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light”.
It was precisely this second-stage Bird King that fell onto the island that, under Zheng Deming’s attack, desperately unleashed its final sound wave divine ability, causing Chen Mobai and the others who were not far away to be greatly affected.
But in the end, it was severely injured. Under the flying sword of Zheng Deming in the Foundation Establishment stage, this second-stage Bird King was finally brutally killed.
But the death of this Bird King instead triggered the madness of a group of Black Plague Birds.
After the four “Heavenly Wood Divine Lights” swept through, hundreds of Black Plague Birds screamed and spewed out gusts of wind that turned into blades and arrows, launching a suicidal attack towards the west side of Qingguang Island, where the Bird King had fallen.
Chen Mobai and the others, who were prepared in advance, immediately displayed their divine abilities. Some used magical tools, some activated talismans, and some directly used spells to attack.
Swish!
Chen Mobai opened the Five Transformations Umbrella hanging from his waist, releasing his spiritual energy to allow this magical tool to absorb it. A hazy green mist covered the surface of the umbrella, blocking the wind blades and arrows falling from the sky!
Although there were many Black Plague Birds, their quality was not very high.
Chen Mobai even had spare energy to protect the two Qi Refining cultivators who had not recovered from the Bird King’s final sound wave attack.
After blocking the first wave of attacks, the Black Plague Birds began to use their sharp beaks and wings to attack them at the spiritual tree.
At this time, the difference between disciples of major sects and wandering cultivators could be seen. The disciples of the Shenmu Sect were all doing their best to protect those with lower cultivation levels around them, while most of the wandering cultivators only cared about themselves, with only a few exceptions like Chen Mobai.
Manager Wang, who usually appeared smiling, was actually very ruthless when he took action. He controlled a crimson flying sword and chopped the five Black Plague Birds that had flown towards him into more than ten pieces.The other disciples of the Shenmu Sect each had their own tactics. They raised their unified black armor shields, and after establishing their defense, they threw out talisman scripts.
Lightning, frost, and flames erupted in an instant, turning the twelve black plague birds into corpses.
Chen Mobai, on the other hand, was cautious and did not use his full strength. He faced the two black plague birds that rushed to his eyes and threw out two “entangling talismans”. Instantly, two vines were generated, blocking the two beasts that were too fast to change direction.
Then, with a flick of his left sleeve, two golden lights shot out, piercing a bloody hole in the foreheads of these two black plague birds.
At this time, the Qi Refining cultivators who had been affected by the sound waves earlier also came back to their senses. They either swallowed pills or used secret techniques, and then fought with the black plague birds that rushed to their eyes.
Because the previous four “Heavenly Wood Divine Lights” had swept away most of the black plague birds, and most of the remaining ones were restrained by the other two bird kings and did not rush to kill, the remaining group of black plague birds lost their rationality due to the beheading of their leader, and their command was in chaos.
Soon, Chen Mobai and his group had dealt with nearly a hundred black plague birds that had rushed to their area.
The black plague birds still circling outside the island, after spitting out two rounds of wind blades and wind arrows, the remaining ones finally did not dare to rush to the island again. They landed on a barren reef about ten kilometers west of Qingguang Island, blocking one direction.
After the battle, Chen Mobai looked at the bird corpses lying in various places on the cliff, the black feathers floating on the water under the cliff, the broken wing fragments, and the two Qi Refining cultivators who were wailing with their arms broken. He couldn’t help but fall silent.
