Chapter 92: Black Feather Shield

However, Chen Mobai no longer had any spare attention to focus on others. He directed all his attention to the large bird hovering in mid-air.

Sssss!

As dust rose, six earth-yellow flying needles shot out from Chen Mobai's sleeve, piercing towards the swiftly approaching large bird.

Ding ding ding!

A peak first-stage demonic beast, its strength was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had faced since coming to the天河界 (Tianhe World).

The six flying needles landed on the large bird's body, and black feathers stood up, forming a layer of spiritual energy shield that deflected the flying needles.

[It can emit wind blades with its wings, spit wind arrows from its mouth, and its feathers covering its entire body have been refined into a defensive shield. The weaknesses are most likely its eyes and claws.]

Although Chen Mobai had little combat experience, he seemed to have a special talent, rapidly growing in such intense battles.

He used the Five Transformations Umbrella to test the strength of the wind blades and the flying needles to trigger the black feather shield. He had basically formed a data set in his mind about the large bird's combat abilities and innate magical powers.

[Let's test it out.]

Chen Mobai glanced at the black-feathered, red-eyed large bird that was charging towards him with wings flapping fiercely. He channeled his spiritual energy, activating two wooden shield talismans.

The green wooden shield only lasted for a breath before being cut through by the wind blades, but the Five Transformations Umbrella had already opened, absorbing the two slightly weakened wind blades, though it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Although using talismans consumed very little spiritual energy, he couldn't afford to use too many.

Chen Mobai had already used nearly twenty talismans in the battle so far.

Moreover, the Five Transformations Umbrella, as a talisman weapon, consumed more spiritual energy than he had expected.

No wonder it was sold cheaply.

Chen Mobai estimated that his spiritual energy was down to less than seventy percent, so he decided to use the Five Transformations Umbrella sparingly from now on.

At this moment, the black-feathered large bird fiercely flapped its wings and charged towards him again.

He immediately threw out a green arrow talisman and a binding talisman, followed by four flying needles shooting out from his sleeve, piercing the air sharply and accurately targeting the large bird's eyes and the palms of its claws.

A screech sounded.

The large bird's black feathers stood up, and the spiritual energy shield reappeared, but it closed its eyes and curled its claws.

The spiritual energy arrows and flying needles were all deflected by the black feather shield, but the binding talisman took effect, with vines emerging from the cliff's soil and binding the large bird. However, it only lasted a moment before the bird's wing flaps cut the vines into several pieces.

[Indeed, my judgment was correct.]

Seeing this, Chen Mobai's eyes lit up. The black-feathered bird was deliberately avoiding attacks on its eyes and the palms of its claws.

The weak points of the black feather shield should be these four areas.

At this moment, another cry of pain echoed, indicating that another cultivator had been severely injured.

Chen Mobai had to activate the Nourishing Mind and Casting Spirit Technique to suppress all his unusual emotions and fully devote himself to the battle with this evil creature.

He reached into his pocket, opened a bottle of black water, and inhaled, channeling his spiritual energy to the twelfth level.

The "Ice Spell" was ready to be unleashed.

At the same time, Chen Mobai threw out ten binding talismans and ten highly toxic talismans. Ten vine branches nailed one end into the cliff's soil and the other end wrapped around the black-feathered large bird, which was charging straight towards him, making its path predictable.

Just as the bird was about to flap its wings to cut through the bindings, it felt its bones go numb and its movements stiffen.

The highly toxic talismans were not actually poison but could make the opponent's wood qi flourish, causing an imbalance in the originally balanced five elements.

This talisman was not lethal; the opponent just needed to meditate and rest for a while to recover.

But Chen Mobai needed that moment of stiffness.

He exhaled, and the last two flying needles from the needle box landed in front of him. All the black water formed two spiral ice spears centered around the flying needles. With the magnetic repulsion, the flying needles propelled the ice spears at the fastest speed, piercing the large bird's eyes, which were already hindered in movement.

Screech!

Even though it closed its eyes and opened the black feather shield in time, under Chen Mobai's full-power Ice Spell, the black-feathered large bird's eyelids were still pierced by the ice spears, emitting an unprecedentedly sharp and piercing scream.

The raging demonic aura caused the bird to instantly shatter ten vines. Its wings flapped continuously, and in an instant, dozens of wind blades erupted in all directions, shattering the incoming green arrow talismans.

Whoosh!

Faced with such a wide-area attack, Chen Mobai had to open the Five Transformations Umbrella again, neutralizing a wind blade. Despite the risk of spiritual energy depletion, he used the "Water Control Spell" to revert the ice spears back into black water.

The ten flying needles that had been deflected by the black feather shield and scattered around the cliff were attracted by the needle box's magnetic force and flew back to him.

Whoosh!

The "Ice Spell" was activated again, and ten smaller but sharper ice spears, accompanied by a buzzing sound, pierced the black-feathered large bird's body, which now had blood-red holes in its eyes.

The bird had already exhausted its spiritual energy in the previous burst of attacks and could no longer form the black feather shield.

It screeched pitifully as it was pierced by the ten ice spears and fell from the sky onto the cliff.

But in its dying moments, the bird unleashed a sound wave attack similar to the one from the dead bird king, causing all the cultivators on the cliff to shudder.

Finally, it was over!

Chen Mobai endured the dizziness and disorientation caused by the sound wave attack, feeling that his spiritual energy in his dantian was down to less than half. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and immediately activated a "Recovery Talisman."

In an instant, all the negative effects caused by the sound wave disappeared. Moreover, the spiritual energy in his dantian began to flow out like a spring, gradually replenishing.

Chen Mobai estimated that he could recover about ten percent of his spiritual energy per minute, and it would take about ten minutes to fully recover.

This was his first time using a "Recovery Talisman," and the feeling of his depleted dantian being refilled was quite novel.

At this moment, he finally had the time to pay attention to the other battles.

Wang Yuanwu was fighting three opponents, using a red flying sword and a first-grade superior black armor shield. He had already slain one large bird, but it would take more time to completely resolve the situation.

Gao Tuo and the other three were in a tough battle.

But Chen Mobai only glanced at them and then turned his attention away. Not far away, three cultivator corpses lay on the cliff, and one team was on the verge of collapse.

However, another team had achieved remarkable results, having already slain two large birds, and one late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator was now free.

Chen Mobai and the cultivator made eye contact, nodded, and simultaneously moved to support the team that had already lost three cultivators.

Boom!

At this moment, eight Heavenly Wood Divine Lights erupted simultaneously from the south and north shores of the Green Light Island.

The deep, thunderous sounds, accompanied by astonishing demonic auras, indicated that more demonic beasts were attacking.

Chen Mobai's face turned pale!

He never expected that the island defense battle would enter its most intense phase on the first day.
