Above the lagoon.

Large black birds opened their gaping mouths, spewing out gushes of wind that transformed into an onslaught 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, encapsulating his upper body.

Accompanied by persistent thuds, the first Wooden Shield charm quickly expended its energy, the second one didn’t last much longer. However, at this point, the major onslaught of wind arrows had been blocked.

Breaking past the two layers 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 his companions 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 so large blackbirds above the lagoon.

Squawk!

Accompanied 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 slaughtered by Ba Jiang and the others who were lying in wait.

“The meat of these Black Plague 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 glanced at the bird corpses floating on the lagoon, a pained expression on his face.

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

However, he didn’t dare to complain. After all, such business often balances 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 accepted the situation. Once again, he brought out a Spirit Stone and placed it inside the Spirit Boat, motioning for Chen Mobai and the others to leave.

The Black Plague Birds always moved in groups, with the largest 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 Black Plague Birds tracked down their enemies.

Sure enough, shortly after their departure, a dark cloud of black 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’t come to this place 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 Black Plague 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 place for newbies and Loose Cultivators to practice.

Today, however, it was unexpectedly filled with a large flock of Black Plague Birds, including a Rank-2 king bird close by.

The Divine Wood Sect’s newbie guidance task usually lasted 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 Black Armored Turtles.

Qi HOU spoke again. He was merely at the Qi Cultivation ninth level. Despite his self-confidence for competing 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 plan promptly.

“Um, Brother Qi, I might need to isolate 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 Black 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 plan to join our Divine Wood Sect?”

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

“I do plan 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 Black Plague 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 Black 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.”

After landing on the island, 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 Island 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..
