Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 44 Invisible Assist (Please continue reading)

Shi Xiangdong stood at the bow of the flying boat, his eyes like lightning, with a puppet eagle perched on his shoulder.

Even on the airship, he continued to fulfill his duty of vigilance.

Shen Xuan and Xia Muqing sat in the middle.

Zhao Chunsheng sat at the stern of the boat.

Wen Zijian focused all his attention on piloting the flying boat.

He only managed to gather enough spirit stones to buy this flying boat after hunting the armored crocodile last time.

A first-grade superior flying magic weapon costs as much as 1,500 spirit stones.

It's even more expensive than a first-tier high-grade flying sword.

As a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is very necessary to purchase a flying artifact.

In the future, when the monster-hunting team distributes the spoils, the flying boat's contribution will also be counted.

on the way.

They encountered several groups of demon hunters.

They also traveled by flying boat.

They flew at an altitude far exceeding theirs.

"Oh no, it's Lao Yu and his group! Their flying boat is heading in the same direction as ours!"

"I knew that kid was unreliable; he sold his goods to multiple companies!"

Zhao Chunsheng said angrily.

Wen Zijian silently took out a mid-grade spirit stone.

They were stuffed into the flying boat formation.

He quickly formed a hand seal, and the flying boat's speed suddenly increased.

"Don't worry. There are more of them, and their airships aren't as fast as ours!"

Shi Xiangdong stared intently and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Once we find the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros, Master Shen will go all out, Fellow Daoist Xia will assist, Fellow Daoist Shi and I will keep watch, and Fellow Daoist Wen will pilot the flying boat to provide support at any time!"

Zhao Chunsheng assigned responsibilities to everyone.

"If anyone gets within 30 feet of us, warn them first."

"Anyone who gets within ten feet of us, regardless of who they are, should strike first!"

A ruthless glint appeared on Zhao Chunsheng's face.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shen Xuan secretly praised Zhao Chunsheng's decisiveness in killing.

The "rabbit demon hunter" is just cautious; he's not an easy target.

To have remained a demon hunter for so many years without falling from grace, one's experience bar must be quite high.

……

half a month later.

The airship has reached the target area.

A shallow branch of the Longze River came into view.

The water was a clear, deep blue, and the air was quiet and peaceful.

Beside it stood ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, which shielded the intense sunlight.

A breeze blows, the shadows sway and dance, the shadows of the trees dance, it's a beautiful sight.

Wen Zijian landed the flying boat on the shore of the shallow lake.

As soon as he landed, Shen Xuan seemed to sense something and looked straight into the depths of the forest.

"It's around here!"

After hearing Zhao Chunsheng's verification, Shi Xiangdong released two greyhound puppet beasts, which ran swiftly to scout ahead.

"Let's rest for a bit and get ready for battle."

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged silently.

The [Insight Technique] has been quietly activated.

Wen Zijian looked into the depths of the forest and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, is that Water-Repelling Rhinoceros inside the forest?"

"Indeed, that water-repelling rhinoceros is in the nearby forest. It is quite powerful, so fellow Daoists must be careful when dealing with it."

Zhao Chunsheng spoke solemnly, and at the same time distributed the high-quality [Rejuvenation Talisman], [Water Control Talisman], [Breath Concealment Talisman], and [Invisibility Talisman] that he had prepared in advance to everyone.

"These are exquisite spirit talismans made by Master Shen. Just like Fellow Daoist Wen's flying boat, the spoils will be distributed after deducting losses."

"That's only right," everyone replied in unison.

Xia Muqing received an exceptionally large number of high-quality talismans.

There are more than thirty.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, you should refrain from participating in the battle. Assist Master Shen in activating more spirit talismans."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhao! I am a water-based cultivator, and I am perfectly suited to using these water-attribute talismans," Xia Muqing said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoists, we've made a discovery! The Greyhound Puppet Beast has discovered the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros!" Shi Xiangdong exclaimed in delight.

"Let's go into the forest and finish this quickly. Many demon hunters are on their way, and delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances," Zhao Chunsheng said resolutely.

……

Shi Xiangdong flew at the forefront, leading the group deeper into the forest. Not long after...

The group stopped on a small hillside, each concealing their aura.

Xia Muqing cast a high-quality [Concealing Breath Talisman] and [Invisibility Talisman] on each person.

Under deliberate suppression, the fluctuations of spiritual energy around everyone became extremely weak.

Accompanied by booming and thunderous sounds.

A powerful demonic aura quietly spread.

In front.

Seven demon hunters, each wielding their magical artifacts and talismans, surrounded and attacked a water-repelling rhinoceros.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what should we do?" Shi Xiangdong asked, turning around.

"It's Chen the Bald and his gang! This group is ruthless, and there are four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in their team; they're quite strong!"

Zhao Chunsheng's eyes were full of resentment.

After finally acquiring valuable intelligence, and traveling for half a month, consuming many spirit stones and talismans, they finally found the target monster, the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros.

But they could only watch helplessly as they were hunted and besieged by other demon hunter teams.

The water-repelling rhinoceros has a tough, thick hide, covered in beaded armor plates, and is protected by a spiritual aura. It occasionally raises its head and emits a "moo" sound like an old ox, which is like a dragon's roar, and shoots out sharp water arrows.

There are simply too many demon hunters who could surround it.

Seven demon hunters, four of whom were at the late stage of Qi Refining, surrounded it from four directions, relentlessly attacking its neck and throat.

This is its weakness.

The other three, at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, continuously activated spiritual talismans, harassing the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros while restoring the spiritual power of their four teammates.

The water-splitting rhinoceros fought back desperately, trying to break through the encirclement.

No matter which direction it tried to break through, it was intercepted by numerous magical artifacts and talismans after only a few steps.

“The Water-Repelling Rhinoceros won’t last long!” Wen Zijian said coldly.

All eyes turned to Zhao Chunsheng.

He is the captain and also the planner of this demon-hunting team.

"If the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros breaks through the encirclement and is hunted down by us, according to the rules of the Demon Hunters, the prey is ours."

Zhao Chunsheng looked at Shen Xuan.

"Master Shen, is there any way to enhance the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros's strength in a short period of time?"

"Should we reveal our identities?"

"It's best not to reveal your identity!"

Shen Xuan nodded.

next moment.

His figure vanished into thin air.

At the minor completion stage, the [Invisibility Technique], combined with the [Concealing Breath Technique], makes him undetectable to Qi Refining cultivators even at a distance of ten zhang.

"I never imagined that the most inconspicuous [Cloud and Rain Technique] could play such a crucial role!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He flew to the ancient tree and made a hand seal.

Soon, the sky suddenly changed color, and dark clouds gathered.

As the first bolt of lightning flashed, a torrential downpour began instantly.

The group of cultivators who were besieging the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros immediately paled.

Chen the Bald, who was in charge, quickly increased the intensity of his magical weapon's attack.

"Quickly, attack with full force!"

However, it was too late.

A large amount of rainwater gathered around the water-repelling rhinoceros, making it feel energetic.

With a resounding moo from an old ox, Shen Xuan saw divine light emanate from the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros. Countless raindrops condensed into mist, carrying a bone-chilling cold, and spread outwards.

The water elemental energy that permeated the vicinity suddenly surged, as if drawn by some force, and rapidly converged towards the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros.

"Watch out!" Chen the Bald shouted in alarm.

next moment.

Dozens of water arrows condensed and formed into a rain of arrows, which poured towards Chen Tuzi and his group.

The water arrows were noticeably sharper than before.

As it cut through the air, it made a heart-stopping hissing sound.

It's the sound of a water arrow absorbing water energy from the air.

It expands as it flies.

Chen the Bald and the others used their magical artifacts and activated their talismans to defend themselves with all their might.

The three weaker Qi Refining mid-stage cultivators in the team all let out painful screams.

The demonic power contained in the water arrow was far too strong.

It crashed heavily into their defensive artifacts!

The immense force of the impact sent them flying dozens of feet.
