Chapter 183 - 183 Attacked Halfway, Where Did the Strange Bird Come From?

183 Attacked Halfway, Where Did the Strange Bird Come From?

The situation at Changping couldn’t be delayed. With such a fast-flying magic weapon, it was naturally faster than flying on a sword. Even though Wang Hao was a little unhappy, he couldn’t say anything.

The disciples of the Sword Sect cheered when they saw that he had no objections. They boarded the spiritual boat and looked around curiously.

It wasn’t that other sects didn’t use flying magic weapons, but whether it was in terms of size, appearance, or speed, they weren’t as good as Ye Xuan’s ‘A Leaf Skiff’.

Their grand exit from the city had attracted everyone’s attention. Many people raised their heads to look at the shadow that quickly passed by, and their eyes revealed a look of surprise.

“What a fast speed! What kind of flying magic weapon is this?”

“A sect that can use such a flying magic weapon must be extremely wealthy.”

“Hey, aren’t those the uniforms of the disciples of the Sword Sect? Why are they on it? Could it be that this spiritual boat belongs to the Sword Sect?”

Everyone was in disbelief. After all, the Sword Sect was known for being poor. Anyone who had a bit of wealth would contribute it all to their precious swords.

Moreover, they were not good at running those businesses. Therefore, although the Sword Sect was powerful, in terms of spirit stones, they were at the bottom of all the sects.

The speed of ‘A Leaf Skiff’ was very fast, and some disciples even felt dizzy because of the speed, so Ye Xuan had to slow down.

The spiritual boat passed through the clouds and brushed past the flying birds. Those little things were not afraid and looked curiously at the behemoth in front of them. They chirped but were quickly left behind.

Below them was a lush scenery and towering trees, but in the eyes of Ye Xuan and the others, they were unbelievably small.

The prosperous town also became like an ant, and in the end, it completely disappeared in the green scenery, as if the traces were wiped away by a pair of invisible hands.

Shen Changling suddenly appeared beside Ye Xuan. He said, “At this speed, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we reach Changping.”

After Ye Xuan came to this world, he didn’t go to many places, but he was a little curious about Changping.

Shen Changling explained, “Changping is south of Jingdu. Along the way, we’ll have to pass through Zhongdu, Daxing, Youzhou, Zhuojun, and more. The closer it is to Jingdu, the more prosperous it is, and vice versa.”

Although Changping was far away, it could be considered a special case. After all, it was rich in spirit stone mines. In addition to its special geographical environment, it bred many precious spiritual plants. The Seven Great Sects had sent disciples to station there.

After that, it also attracted many sects. Although they could not compete with the Seven Great Sects, there were many scattered mineral veins in the vicinity. The Seven Great Sects found it troublesome and did not think much of it, so they allowed those sects to occupy and divide them, which was why the city was so prosperous.

Ye Xuan nodded after hearing what Shen Changling said.

“But then again, Changping has always been peaceful. Although there are often demonic beasts in the vicinity, it’s normal. After all, there are a few mountain ranges and demonic beasts’ forests there. This is the first time it’s so serious.”

“Have you ever been to Changping?” Ye Xuan asked, a little puzzled.

“I’ve only been there once. There’s someone in charge of things in Changping. I don’t know much about the exact situation.”

While the two were chatting, Ye Xuan’s gaze fell into the distance.

Not far away, there was a dark cloud that occupied almost half of the space. The gloomy atmosphere was inexplicably oppressive, forming a sharp contrast with the clear and bright sky.

Shen Changling followed his line of sight and frowned. He asked, “What is this?”

According to the trajectory of the spiritual boat, it would soon collide with the dark cloud.

The dark cloud seemed to have noticed the spiritual boat flying in the air and it was speeding toward them.

The disciples of the Sword Sect thought that they were seeing things and were hallucinating. They could not help but ask, “This is strange. Why is that dark cloud moving?”

Ye Xuan quickly warned them, “That’s not a dark cloud! Everyone, be careful!”

Almost at the same time, the dark cloud had already flown near the spiritual boat at a strange speed. That was when everyone on the boat saw what was the dark cloud exactly. It was clearly a group of strange-looking birds.

These birds were pitch-black, their feathers as sharp as swords, and their red pupils flickered with an ominous light. They were huge, almost half the height of a human.

Their beaks were long and sharp, and when they opened their mouths, the row of sharp teeth simply made people shudder.

Strange quacking sounds drifted above them. There were so many of them that they instantly surrounded the spiritual boat. Countless pairs of red eyes stared at the crowd, it was truly a scene that gave people goosebumps.

“F*ck, where did these strange birds come from?”

The disciples of the Sword Sect looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

The strange birds had already started their attack. Their sharp claws could easily tear a person in half. They landed on the spiritual boat.

Everyone felt a lump in their throats when they saw a light green light suddenly light up and wrap around the entire boat. It looked harmless, but it carried a power that ordinary people couldn’t imagine, blocking these strange birds.

They couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the defense of the spiritual boat was not bad and it managed to ward off their attack. The green light was like the green in the dark clouds, with a little bit of vitality.

Shen Changling’s expression was serious. He said, “These strange birds seem to have extraordinary strength, and there are so many of them. I’m afraid they won’t be easy to deal with. I wonder how long the spiritual boat’s defense can last.”

Ye Xuan was quite confident in this. After all, this thing was plundered from the treasure house of the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Even with Ye Xuan’s guarantee, the others looked around and were stared at by countless pairs of eyes. It was not any better, not to mention the sharp beaks and claws, which carried fatal lethality.
