Chapter 90: Beast Attack on the Island

A disciple of the Divine Wood Sect immediately took out a "Regeneration Talisman" from his storage bag and reconnected the arms of the two Qi Practitioners.

"This is our first battle, everyone is still a bit unfamiliar, but no one died, which is really great."

Wang Guan, the manager, indicated that the two injured Qi Practitioners could go back to rest first. If they wanted to continue fighting later, they could return, and spirit stones would still be issued to them.

One of them immediately shook his head, indicating that he did not want to fight again.

The other hesitated for a moment, feeling that he was not well-prepared this time. If the situation was the same next time, he would definitely not get injured again, so he decided to stay.

For the one who left, Wang Guan was very amiable. Not only did he have one of his junior brothers send him back on a flying boat, but he also gave him two "Regeneration Talismans" to heal his wounds.

The remaining cultivator, who decided to stay, received five "Regeneration Talismans" and an additional spirit stone as compensation.

Both of them were at the third level of Qi Practice, which was considered low in cultivation.

Wang Guan's generous behavior, akin to buying a thousand gold for a horse's bone, helped to ease the somewhat somber atmosphere caused by the injuries.

"Through this battle, I found that everyone's coordination is not very good. Let's divide into teams."

Wang Guan, whose name is Wang Yuanwu, demonstrated strong abilities in the previous battle, and everyone generally trusted him. Therefore, they all nodded in agreement when he divided the remaining 27 people into five small teams.

Each Divine Wood Sect disciple would be the team leader, and the rest would form teams according to their own wishes.

Chen Mobai was pulled into Wang Yuanwu's team first. Besides him, there were three other independent cultivators, including the one who stayed after being injured, named Gao Tuo.

The other two members of the team were a senior brother and sister.

The male, Shi Pengyi, was at the fifth level of Qi Practice.

The female, Luo Lin, was at the third level of Qi Practice.

They were from a small sect and were the two people Chen Mobai had protected earlier. They actively requested to join this team.

Wang Yuanwu did not say much and directly agreed.

"Daoist Chen, I am really grateful. Without your help, my senior brother and I might have been injured."

Luo Lin looked to be in her early twenties. Although her clothes were stained with blood, she had bright eyes and a beautiful face, making her a striking presence in their team.

Her cultivation was a bit low, but if she were at the mid-Qi Practice level, she might have many admirers.

Cultivators in the天河界 (Tianhe World) were very practical. Even when choosing a Daoist partner, they sought someone with similar talent and cultivation.

This way, they could mutually promote each other and have a positive effect.

Especially after cultivating divine consciousness, the desire for beauty was already very low, although there were still those who particularly enjoyed it and kept such emotions for pleasure.

"It was just a matter of convenience, no need for formalities."

After Chen Mobai spoke, Wang Yuanwu's junior brother returned from sending the injured cultivator back. Wang Yuanwu then assigned the remaining five independent cultivators to him and turned to his own team.

He first consoled the injured Gao Tuo and then asked each person to introduce their specialized spells or magical tools to formulate an initial cooperation plan for the team.

Shi Pengyi had a flying sword inherited from his sect and five talismans, specializing in sword techniques.

Luo Lin, his senior sister, practiced the same cultivation method but did not have a flying sword. She had a shield bought from the Green Light Island market, made from the shell of a black-armored turtle, a defensive magical tool.

Gao Tuo, as an independent cultivator, had a hook-shaped magical tool, a hand crossbow, and eighteen spirit arrows, each said to be powerful enough to kill cultivators below the third level of Qi Practice.

In terms of assets, Gao Tuo was actually above Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, which is why he dared to stay despite the initial setback.

"I have some talismans, one offensive and one defensive magical tool."

Chen Mobai conservatively described his equipment. He had used the Five-Transform Umbrella to block a wave of wind blades and wind arrows and shot down two black plague birds with flying needles.

Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin had already seen his equipment and knew it was extraordinary.

"Daoist Chen, how many talismans do you have?"

Wang Yuanwu asked the most critical question. After the battle, talismans became consumables, and he needed to know the exact number to gauge their true combat strength.

"Well, I haven't counted them specifically, but I have about a few dozen."

Chen Mobai hesitated but did not tell the truth.

Even so, this still surprised the cultivators in the team. Wang Yuanwu, as the leader of the team protecting the spirit tree array flag, had only eighty talismans, including those issued by the sect.

"Daoist Chen, rest assured. I will keep track of the talismans you use in battle and apply to the sect for compensation after we repel the beasts."

Wang Yuanwu's words made Chen Mobai very comfortable. Originally, he was receiving five spirit stones per day as compensation, which already included the loss of talismans during battles.

But to boost morale, Wang Yuanwu was very generous, or perhaps it was just the sect paying the spirit stones, and he was just talking.

"When we fight, I and Daoist Chen will be at the front and back, and the other three Daoists will be in between. Is this acceptable?"

Since it was their first time working together and lacked默契 (cohesion), this simple tactic was the most suitable.

Chen Mobai and the other three immediately nodded.

At this moment.

"Whoosh!"

A talisman flew to Wang Yuanwu, and his expression changed slightly as he immediately caught it.

"Prepare for battle. A large number of water pythons and black-armored turtles have been spotted in the eastern water pond of the island. These black plague birds may coordinate with them to attack the island."

After reading the information contained in the talisman, Wang Yuanwu immediately shouted loudly.

The cultivators who were resting and meditating did not hesitate and immediately took a spirit-recovery pill.

Then, everyone stood in the five directions around the spirit tree according to the five teams, firmly occupying all areas of the cliff.

Rumble!

On the eastern side of Green Light Island, five Heavenly Wood Divine Lights, like heavenly swords, heavily struck the vast water pond, causing huge waves and countless beast corpses to wash ashore.

Not far away, the remaining nearly a thousand black plague birds rose from the barren reefs, widely dispersed, and with angry, mournful screams, swept towards this side.

"These beasts are really fearless!"

One of the independent cultivators spat and then took out a black-armored shield, infused it with spirit power, and placed it at the front of their team.

Chen Mobai's brows furrowed. He did not expect that such a large number of deaths would not make the black plague birds retreat or show any fear. Perhaps the death of the bird king had driven these beasts to madness.

But regardless, the most important thing now was to deal with the battle at hand.

In their large area, there were still five Heavenly Wood Divine Lights left.

But Wang Yuanwu had already said that unless a second-stage beast attacked the island or their western front was on the verge of collapse, they would not use them again.

In other words, they needed to hold out for at least two hours until the spirit tree array flag recharged.

"Protect yourselves. Guarding the spirit tree is up to me and Manager Wang."

Chen Mobai reminded the three people standing between him and Wang Yuanwu. Then, he held four Green Arrow Talismans with his right hand, activated his spirit power, and threw them into the air.

A total of 24 green spirit arrows appeared from the void behind him.
