On the water.

One by one, black birds opened their blood-filled mouths, and gusts of wind turned into arrows shooting towards Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai immediately crouched in the spirit boat, activating two first-grade inferior wooden shield talismans in his hands. Two green shield-shaped light screens appeared, covering his upper body.

Accompanied by the sound of thumping, the power of the first wooden shield talisman was exhausted, and the second one did not last long. However, at this time, the large-scale wind arrows had already been blocked.

Breaking through two layers of wooden defense, there were still three arrows that could fall on top of Chen Mobai’s head. The “Water Shield” moved with his thoughts, turning into three water waves blocking the path of the wind arrows.

“Not ready yet?”

While taking out two talismans from his inner lining, Chen Mobai asked the people behind him.

“We’re ready!”

The voice of Qi Hou sounded, followed by a burst of scorching aura erupting behind Chen Mobai. A fiery red sword light soared into the sky, like a startled swan passing over the water, cutting one of the black birds in half. The remaining birds scattered instantly without a leader, but some were still killed by Ba Jiang and others who were waiting.

“The meat of these Black Plague Birds doesn’t taste good and won’t sell for a good price in the market.”

Qi Hou looked at the talismans that turned into ashes in his hand, then looked at the bird corpses floating on the water, a pained expression on his face.

This first-grade superior “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” was worth 8 spirit stones, and this trip with the newcomers was a loss.

But he couldn’t say anything. After all, in business, there is always profit and loss.

“These bird feathers can be sold for some gold.”

Ba Xing saw Qi Hou’s expression and immediately spoke with her keen mind. However, as soon as she said this, the junior brother on the side raised his head and glared at her. He was the one who had to pluck the bird feathers.

“No need, this little gold is not worth a spirit stone, it’s not worth wasting time.”

Qi Hou immediately let it go. He took out another spirit stone and put it into the spirit boat, instructing Chen Mobai and the others to leave.

Black Plague Birds always travel in groups, and it is said that there are even second-grade ones.

Now that they had killed a group but not completely, they were afraid that several groups would come for revenge later. Qi Hou, with his experience, immediately told his team to run after taking action.

Before leaving, Qi Hou also told them to take off their coats stained with bird blood and throw them away. The Black Plague Birds track their enemies through this.

Sure enough, shortly after they left, a swarm of Black Plague Birds flew over, hovering around the place where they had killed the birds and discarded their clothes, bombarding with strong winds.

“I didn’t expect to attract the Bird King. We can’t come to this place anymore in the future.”

Qi Hou observed with a long-distance talisman, feeling a powerful and fierce aura far beyond his own. He couldn’t help but frown, took out his map, and marked an X on this location.

“Fortunately, Senior Brother Qi led the team this time, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to escape the pursuit of these Black Plague Birds.”

After taking a pill to restore his spiritual power, Ba Jiang stood up and thanked Qi Hou.

“Everyone takes what they need.”

But Qi Hou shook his head. In fact, this place was also chosen by him as the team leader. In the past, at most, there were only some Water Python Bull monsters in this area, which was a good place for newcomers and scattered cultivators to gain experience.

It’s just that today, for some reason, there was such a large group of Black Plague Birds, and there was even a second-grade Bird King nearby.

The task of bringing newcomers to Shenmu Sect usually lasts for a month.

Chen Mobai followed several teams behind him and felt that Qi Hou was more reliable. So he followed them again this time. The Ba siblings were the same. This was their fifth time going out as a five-person team, so they were somewhat familiar.

“Let’s go hunting Black Armored Turtles again tomorrow.”

Qi Hou spoke again. He was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and although he was confident in his fighting skills among the same level, he had no chance of winning against a second-grade Bird King. He was bringing newcomers, not risking his life, so he immediately changed the plan when he saw that this area was no longer safe.

“Um, Senior Brother Qi, I might have to go into seclusion for a few days to make some talismans.”

Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up. He said that he had gained a lot from following Qi Hou these days, but he had run out of spirit stones and couldn’t keep up with the group.

The Ba siblings were stunned. Although they didn’t currently lack spirit stones, after experiencing the Black Armored Turtle area, it no longer held any attraction for them. They also found an excuse to no longer follow the group.

Qi Hou listened and was not angry.

“Judging from the style of your talismans, they are biased towards the wood attribute. Are you planning to join our Shenmu Sect?”

The junior brother who had been ignoring them suddenly spoke up and asked.

“I do have that intention.”

Chen Mobai was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and nodded lightly.

“Your name is Chen Turtle Immortal, right? I remember you.”

The junior brother raised his head and looked at Chen Mobai seriously, as if acknowledging him, and nodded.

“With your talent, it should be no problem for you to join our Shenmu Sect. Maybe in the future, we will be senior brothers. It’s good to get to know each other in advance.”

Qi Hou’s words shocked the Ba siblings. They knew the requirements for Shenmu Sect to recruit scattered cultivators: age cannot exceed 30, and cultivation level must be at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Although they had been in a team for several days, Chen Mobai had never revealed his cultivation level.

They thought he was at most at the sixth level of Qi Refining, just like them.

But today, when they fought against the Black Plague Birds, Qi Hou saw Chen Mobai’s true cultivation level. Without cultivating divine consciousness, it was impossible for him to go from someone who was struggling against a Black Armored Turtle to someone who was at ease in such a short period of time.”Brother Chen, I didn’t expect you to be a talisman maker. No wonder you have an endless supply of talismans, some of which my sister and I have never even seen before.”

After 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.”

After landing on the island, Marquis Qi left with his junior brother first. Chen Mobai exchanged a few polite words with the Ba siblings, declined their invitation to dine, and returned to his own wooden hut.

“Unconsciously, it’s been twenty days since I came here.”

Chen Mobai looked at the ordinary ink-colored long robe he bought on Qingguang Island, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions.

His ancient-style outfit had worn out in the battles. Although life in the Tianhe realm was tough, he was somewhat addicted to the daily feeling of self-improvement.

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