Devour

The two women looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to anticipate the true appearance of Shen Zi Feng. The guild leader claimed to know everything about the secret realm, but he had never mentioned this kind of monster.

Yun Juan urged, "Before it reacts, hurry up and do it."

"There is a hair there, it must be a ghost feather." Ningxiang pointed to the monster's tail, and a huge, sharp, glowing feather was revealed at the tip of the tail.

The two girls approached cautiously, climbed up the huge body of the monster, and came to the cliff-like tail.

The two men, one on top and one on the bottom, held onto the huge feather that was as big as a tree, and pulled it out with all their strength, finally pulling the ghost feather out.

“Woo ga ga…”

The monster suddenly screamed, as if in pain. The strange cry was similar to the sound of a duck, which could actually affect the mind. When it reached the ears, it made people dizzy and fainted on the spot.

Ningxiang felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard this, but fortunately she was able to remain conscious.

Yun Juan felt dizzy and her body was shaking. She almost fell off the monster's tail.

Ningxiang quickly pulled her back, took out a Yangling Pill and stuffed it into her mouth to keep her conscious. She also took a Yangling Pill into her mouth to prevent herself from losing her true nature.

The monster had a human head that opened its sleepy eyes, looked around, turned its slender neck, and saw Yun Juan stuffing the huge ghost feather into the treasure bag on her waist. It gritted its teeth in anger and slowly leaned its head as big as a building over.

When the two girls saw it sticking its head over, they became fully alert, but did not run away. They stared at the other ghost feather standing on the monster's head. When it got closer, they looked at each other and winked, then they jumped onto the head at the same time and worked together to pull out the feather.

“Gaga…”

The monster didn't expect the two to be so bold. It screamed in pain, waking up the other two heads, which opened their eyes with difficulty and looked over.

Ningxiang stuffed the ghost feather into the treasure bag and was about to rush towards another ghost feather on the monster's wing.

Yun Juan hurriedly grabbed her and advised: "We have gained something from the adventure. If this monster really wakes up, we will definitely not be its enemy. Let's go quickly."

The two women jumped off the monster's body and quickly fled from Shen Zi Peak.

The three heads that woke up forgot to spit out hurricanes, and stupidly stretched their necks to chase after them, but their huge bodies were still asleep and unable to move, inadvertently making it easier for the two to escape, and they screamed angrily.

The two girls ran back to the Sky Patrol Spirit Boat excitedly, chattering about their adventures along the way. Hunting some Storm Magic Eagles and Lightning Magic Eagles was no problem, but the super-large nine-headed strange bird on the Son of God Peak was unheard of.

The person in charge of commanding the Sky Patrol Spirit Boat was the Chief Elder of the Weapon Sect, Zhuang Tailai. Hearing this, he felt as if he was in a fog and could not help but ask, "The Son of God Peak is a strange-looking mountain that seems to have nine heads. Where did the strange birds and hurricanes come from?"

The two girls turned around, their eyes full of disbelief.

Yun Juan was surprised and asked, "Weren't there any monsters before?"

Zhuang Tailai was very sure: "As for monsters, they are the four major groups of demon birds on the island: the Sky Demon Eagle, Storm Demon Eagle, Lightning Demon Eagle, and Thunderstorm Demon Eagle. The latter is especially powerful, not far from the two of you. In addition, there are some man-eating plants and trees, which are troublesome enough for hunters. There are often casualties in every conference. I also led a team there when I was young, and there is no such thing as a nine-headed hairless giant bird."

Ningxiang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the nine-headed mountain transformed into a nine-headed giant bird?"

Zhuang Tailai had no clues and could not come to a conclusion, so he started the Sky Patrol Spirit Boat and launched it into the sky: "Anyway, the mission is completed, let's go to Tianquan City to report."

The Sky Patrol Spirit Boat turned around and flew towards Tianquan City.

Just after noon, the Sky Island completely sank into the Treasure Basin, merging and connecting as if one. The ground shook slightly, demonstrating the great power of the ancient civilization.

Overlooking the entire island from the observation deck, the view is broad, with rolling hills extending into the distance and merging into the clear sky.

Suddenly, a violently rotating funnel-shaped dust column appeared at the location of Shen Zi Peak, connecting with the clouds in the sky, forming a magnificent spectacle of a tornado connecting heaven and earth.

"What happened there?" The people who were sailing away on the Sky Patrolling Spirit Boat were confused.

As soon as Yunjuan and Ningxiang returned to the Sky Patrol Spirit Boat, Cheng Bai arrived near the Shenzi Peak.

Long before the tragic death of the Star-Picking Swordsman attracted many eyes, Cheng Bai had already jumped to the Sky-Treading Island with Xiaobai in his arms, at such a fast speed that he did not attract any attention.

With the help of Xiaobai's keen sense of smell, he searched for elixirs along the way. With nimble hands and feet, he cut snake bottle grass as if it were weeds and slaughtered the magic eagle as if it were a pheasant, as if he was in an empty space.

When the first group of hunters in the team landed on the Sky Island, Cheng Bai had already hunted several Lightning Demon Eagles, harvested a lot of precious medicines and spiritual roots, and was approaching the mission target at the fastest speed.

Looking at the hurricane sweeping across the four directions from Shen Zi Peak, the Spirit Eye identified and confirmed: "An ancient demon is unconsciously performing a wind-related secret technique, attacking indiscriminately without distinguishing friend from foe."

As Cheng Bai approached Shen Zi Peak, several hurricanes suddenly disappeared and were replaced by several terrifying suction forces. It seemed that all living things became targets of absorption.

A Thunderstorm Demon Eagle was passing in the sky. As the overlord of Sky Treading Island, it was stronger than the Storm Demon Eagle. Its wingspan was more than forty meters long, and it could tear the giant elephant apart. But now it was unable to break free from the suction. It wailed a few times and fell to the ground, falling into the monster's huge human-faced mouth, blood splattering everywhere.

Having used these methods just now, it was difficult for the two women to leave easily. Fortunately, they left quickly, and the three of them were slow to react as they had just woken up from a dream, and they were unable to remember their abilities for a while.

Cheng Bai did not dare to delay. He approached silently in stealth. His spiritual eyes determined the safe trajectory outside the suction force. He quickly arrived in front of the nine-headed strange bird and observed carefully.

The Secret Book of Medicine Collection states: "It has nine heads with human faces and bird bodies, and is called Guiche. It grows one feather every century, and this is called Guiyu."

Cheng Bai was secretly delighted: "Ghost Feather is a fourth-level rare material, it is easy to get."

The Ghost Chariot swallowed the Thunderstorm Demon Eagle in two or three bites, and three sober heads looked towards Cheng Bai.

Cheng Bai immediately became alert: "Not good, it can see through invisibility."

The ghost car opened its mouth and sucked, and the powerful suction force enveloped the area where Cheng Bai was.

Cheng Bai had made some progress in practicing the Eight Immortals Movement Technique, so he simply revealed himself and burst out with amazing speed. He turned into two afterimages, quickly moved to avoid the suction force, and pounced on the ghost feathers on the ghost car body. One afterimage reached out and snatched a ghost feather from the ghost car's left wing, and the other afterimage flashed between the nine heads of the ghost car and snatched a ghost feather from its neck.

The ghost car screamed in pain, and two heads were awakened. They glared at Cheng Bai fiercely with fierce eyes.

Cheng Bai noticed that the sound sounded a little strange, and he hurriedly used the beast head domain to protect the purple palace sea of ​​consciousness to block the sound waves from corroding his spirit. He pursued the opponent with his hands, and the afterimages passed over his chest and buttocks, and pulled out two ghost feathers, waking up the other two heads.

The seven heads of the Ghost Car woke up and made strange noises one after another. If Cheng Bai's cultivation had not improved greatly at this time, they might not have been able to hold on.

"What will happen if all its human-faced heads wake up? Can they stand up and chase us?"

Cheng Bai was thinking in his mind, secretly on guard, but he was not slow in his action. With a flash of afterimage, he also took the ghost feathers on the right wing and the side abdomen one after another.

The nine heads of the Ghost Car were all awakened, and they stopped screaming. Their eighteen scarlet eyes were as fast as lightning, and strong winds rose with their breaths. They staggered and tried to stand up, rising to a height of more than two hundred meters, but then shrank back weakly.

The last conscious head raised its head with a grin, and a ghost feather grew on its chin like a beard.

Cheng Bai thought of the Bone King in the Howling Ruins, and thought to himself, "This monster is no less powerful than the Skull Monster. It must have just woken up and is in a similar state. Its strength has not yet recovered, so you can rest assured."

He rushed forward, snatched the last ghost feather, stuffed it into the treasure bag, turned around and fired nine thunder and fire bombs at the nine heads.

The smoke dissipated, and the Ghost Chariot, which was harder than pure gold, was still above the black dragonfly without any damage.

The probing attack gave Cheng Bai an idea: "The body is indestructible. I can pluck a few hairs, but ordinary means cannot hurt it."

The Ghost Chariot suffered repeated losses and was furious. The ant-like guy in front of it was too arrogant. The nine heads muttered something, and the air pressure changed drastically, instantly forming a huge tornado that supported the sky and the ground, which swept it away and threw it out like a cannonball.

Cheng Bai was knocked back more than a hundred miles away. At first, the world was spinning around and he felt a little strange, but fortunately, he opened the spiritual shield in time to protect himself and stabilize the airflow. There was no loss and he felt relieved.

"The thunder is loud but the rain is small. You don't have to be afraid of it as you have the spiritual shield protecting you."

He slowly landed on the ground like a big bird, and teleported instantly back to Xiaobai who was waiting outside Shenzi Peak. The man and the wolf continued to hunt and collect herbs around the island. They were no longer interested in the Ghost Car: "If a fight really breaks out, there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, all the fur has been plucked. It's better to keep out of the way and make money on our own."

The strange celestial phenomenon in the center of the island soon dissipated, and the change attracted the attention of the hunters on the island. The team worked in harmony and advanced towards the Shenzi Peak one after another.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner strode into the Sky Island, still in the image of Qi Jifen, and said complacently: "I'm catching up, I hope I'm not falling behind. With this identity and current cultivation, I may be able to win the title of Hunter King and leave the Qiongqi Continent with a legitimate reason."

He was no novice. Looking at the dispersing tornado, he muttered to himself, "There are the most nests of demon birds near Shenzi Peak, and the Thunderstorm Demon Eagle is the most difficult to deal with. Where did the tornado come from? It's a little different from previous ones."

It is indeed very different. The magic eagles near Shen Zi Peak either escaped or were eaten by Ghost Carts. The challenges faced by hunters this time are completely not of the same level as in the past.

Cheng Bai circled half of the island and killed five storm magic eagles and five lightning magic eagles. He obtained a lot of Refining Heart Grass, Thunder Ring Grass, and Wild Golden Ginseng. It was a great harvest. Near the evening, he finally remembered that today was the day Lu Miaoting asked him to pick her up.

Although he did not explicitly agree to this, after hesitating for a moment, he was still teleported to the door of the "Hunter Gun King" store.

Zhuo Zhibang was tending to the store. He glanced at Cheng Bai who walked in and said casually, "Your goods are ready." He took out the customized Void Rope and delivered the goods.

Cheng Bai took the Void Rope and felt it was as light as a feather. It seemed to overlap with different spaces in his spiritual eyes, which was very strange.

Zhuo Zhibang then said softly, "She is in the third room on the left upstairs. She is in a bad mood and has no plans to go to the meeting. If you don't come tonight, she will cry."

Cheng Bai silently put away the Void Rope and walked upstairs.

Many of the rooms are converted from cabins of starships. The passage structures are exquisite and tight, the environment is clean, and it can be seen that they are regularly maintained. The level of civilization and advancement is amazing. It's a pity that the power is gone and the doorbell has long lost its function.

Cheng Bai tapped on the door of her room with his fingers.

There were sounds of running and rummaging through boxes behind the door. After a moment, the door opened and Lu Miaoting appeared in front of him with a smile, dressed neatly and combed cleanly. She said softly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Cheng Bai said something insignificant: "I prepared some magic eagle meat, which will be braised and stewed tonight."

Lu Miaoting was very excited: "I'll help."

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, cutting the fresh magic eagle meat into thin slices, adding various seasonings, grilling it until done, and stewing it until fragrant. The color, aroma and taste of the tempting food attracted Zhuo Zhibang's envious glances.

The three of them sat down at the dinner table.

Zhuo Zhibang picked up the magic eagle meat, dipped it in the forget-me-not sauce, put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and praised it highly.

"It's delicious. It's the meat of the magic eagle from the Sky Island. I haven't tasted it for many years. The essence of the magic eagle is the ingredient for the Wind-Swept Pill. Unfortunately, it's not easy to gather the other two ingredients, the Arrow Mango and the Marrow-Eating Tree Leaf, at the same time. There are very few people who can make it."

Zhuo Zhibang sighed, as if he had returned to the good old days of his youth when he worked hard and strived.

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and said, "Senior Wen is a hunter king of the old generation, a hermit, a senior and respected person. Why would he interfere in the disputes on the continent?"

"You found out?" Zhuo Zhibang did not deny it. He picked up another piece of magic eagle meat and tasted it carefully. "Maybe in a few years, I won't be able to chew magic eagle meat anymore. What's the point of fame?"

"I'm just curious." Cheng Bai used the secret art of communication during the conversation to increase the possibility of obtaining information.

Zhuo Zhibang thought for a long time before saying, "You know Shen Ya. You have fought with him before. You worked together to fight against the insect swarm in Tianshu City. You are famous all over the world. I believe you know each other a little bit."

Cheng Bai was not surprised that the other party was well-informed. He nodded and said, "Shen Ya is a person worthy of admiration. He is an excellent warrior, an outstanding leader, and a loyal friend."

"He is like my younger self... well, maybe not as calm as him, I was more impulsive back then. Shen Ya is a good kid, I am more satisfied with him than Guan Wanlan."

Zhuo Zhibang took another big bite of the magic eagle meat, thinking back to his past, and said, "When I was young, I had many hunting teams, but in the end only three people survived and made it to the top. Cen Ge was my teammate in that session, and there was also Yang Kaiping. Hunters on the Qiongqi Continent all know how important survival is, and I work hard for this."

Cheng Bai saw him pause and asked, "Now too?"

"Always." Zhuo Zhibang sounded like he was just chatting after dinner.

Lu Miaoting listened to the two people's discussion in a daze, then came to her senses and interrupted, "I remember that Master once went to the Hunter Academy and had a long discussion with Ceng Gelong, Dean Si Bao, Sect Master Yang, and Sect Master Fang."

Zhuo Zhibang ate and chatted, "At that time, the news of the emperor's death had just arrived. We tried to gather the elite forces of the continent to discuss countermeasures. Unfortunately, only a few people responded to the meeting. The conservatives were in the majority. In the end, the meeting had no results, and we could only deal with the disaster in our own way."

"So the Disaster Army appeared? If it wasn't Ceng Ge, it would be you, the commander-in-chief of the Disaster Army."

Cheng Bai expressed his long-held guess that the remains of the Diamond Man encountered when he first climbed to the southern peak of the Faceless Rift were clearly killed by Xiong Ba Tian Xia's gun. The only person with such unique skills was Zhuo Zhibang nearby.
