Chapter 665: Invading Manmans
“The origins of the weapons and cultivation thods?”
“An evil system?”
Although these were only his guesses, he could infer them from his available mories.
The only thing that intrigued him was the origins of the Great Void seeds.
Lu Zhou looked at the mory crystal in his hand. The energy contained within it had already faded. He moved his fingers.
Crack!
The mory crystal was reduced to fine powder that scattered as it fell in the air.
He did not expect Ji Tiandao to have sealed this many core mories.
Lu Zhou felt his head was heavy. Perhaps, this was the side effect of regaining so of his mories. He returned to the room and lay down to rest.
“Ding! Found half of the mory crystal. Reward: 5,000 rit points.”
...
anwhile, inside Liang Province City.
Si Wuya went through Luo Shiyin’s records again before placing them back. Then, he asked, “How’s Eldest Senior Brother faring these couple of days?”
“Eldest Senior Brother seems drowsy... He’s worked up an appetite and spent most of his waking hours eating! He can eat more than I can. After he has his fill, he’ll return to sleep.” Zhu Honggong spread his hands open.
“Keep an eye on his changes,” Si Wuya said before asking, “What about master?”
Zhu Honggong said, “Master has been sleeping over the past two days... I daren’t disturb him!”
Si Wuya nodded and said, “Master must be tired from facing the 12 allied nations. He needs the rest. n!”
“Mister Seventh!” Two Nether Sect disciples appeared.
“Tell the others that nobody is allowed near master’s courtyard. If there’s anything strange, report to imdiately.”
“Understood!”
Zhu Honggong said, “Seventh Senior Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go and cultivate.”
“Go on.”
Zhu Honggong turned around and left.
Then, Zhou Jifeng hurried into the room. “Mister Seventh, many strange birds have near Heaven’s Moat recently.”
“Strange birds?”
“The birds are ferocious. Once cultivators get close, they’ll attack. I’ve drawn them. Take a look...” Zhou Jifeng unrolled the parchnt and placed it on the table.
Si Wuya looked at the sketch. The birds resembled a mallard with a wing and an eye.
“A biyi bird?” Si Wuya found it familiar.
“This is much larger than biyi birds... Our n were attacked when they had barely gotten close. They nearly lost their lives,” Zhou Jifeng said.
“I’ve studied books about strange beasts in the repository of Great Yan’s Imperial family... These beasts should only be found deep within the Blackwood Forest. Why are they near Heaven’s Moat?” Si Wuya found this strange.
“I think you should go take a look.”
“Alright.”
...
anwhile, on the eastern side of Liang Province. Near the eastern side of Heaven’s Moat.
Winged beasts flew in the skies.
Huang Shijie and Zhu Tianyuan, two Eight-leaf elites, were looking at the birds in the sky as they hovered in the air.
“I don’t think that they have any intention of attacking. They’re staying within range of that spot.”
“If that’s the case, we can rest assured... I hope they’re not hostile toward humans.”
At this mont, Si Wuya and the others arrived.
The others saluted him.
Si Wuya looked at the Biyi birds in the sky, slightly shocked. Then, he said, “There are birds on Chongwu Mountain that resemble mallards with one wing and one eye. They fly in pairs and are known as manmans.”
“Manman?”
“That’s right. This beast is called manman or the biyi bird. It cos from the boundary of the Blackwood and Misty Forests, north of Chongwu Mountain,” Si Wuya said.
Huang Shijie said, “Everyone says that the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Mister Seventh has read many books and is more intelligent than most. I’m impressed.”
“You flatter .” Si Wuya said, “These beasts have limited attacking power. Usually, Brahman Sea realm cultivators can defeat them. However, their numbers are slightly high. They might be a hindrance to the movent of the people once they beco too much of an annoyance.”
“Mister Seventh, how do you think we should solve this problem?”
“All we have to do is find out why they’re here,” Si Wuya replied.
The others nodded.
Indeed, prescribing the right dicine for the right illness was a good asure.
Si Wuya flew out toward the manmans.
When the manman’s noticed the incoming human, they imdiately gathered and attacked.
Si Wuya calmly summoned his avatar.
Whizz!
His Seven-leaf avatar kept the manmans at bay.
When he saw this, Huang Shijie said, “I didn’t know that Mister Seventh is already at the Seven-leaf stage.”
Everyone knew very well how monstrously talented the Evil Sky Pavilion’s disciples were.
Zhu Tianyuan asked, “Mister Seventh, my dumb son isn’t talented. I wonder how your master helped him reach the Nascent Divinity realm?”
Si Wuya hovered in the air and said, “Perhaps, it’s because of his cultivation thod... The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples have different cultivation thods. Eight Junior Brother cultivates the Nine Tribulation Thunderblast. He might not be suited to other cultivation thods.”
“Makes sense.”
At this mont, the three of them were hovering among the manmans.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The manmans were struck out of the air by the avatar.
Huang Shijie and Zhu Tianyuan summoned their avatars as well to dispatch the manmans.
With this, their visions grew clearer.
Si Wuya was shocked when he saw the tree branch in front of him. “Nest?!”
There were nests in the forest before them. Most of them were completed.
“Interesting! These beasts are thinking of staying here!” Huang Shijie exclaid.
“This won’t do. They’re already disturbing the lives of humans!” Zhu Tianyuan said.
“Don’t do anything for now.” Si Wuya observed their surroundings. He noticed the manmans had selected the spot where the bodies were buried.
The manmans that dropped to the ground scratched at the ground and pecked at it like chickens.
“Look.” Si Wuya pointed at the manmans below.
One of the manmans dug up a limb and started pecking on it. Its claws were extrely sharp, and it tore the limb apart in no ti and devoured it!
Their hairs stood on end as they witnessed this.
Si Wuya said, “The Roulian’s General Karol had fought against Great Yan in the west of Liang Province. However, no manmans have appeared there. There’s only one reason they’re gathered here...”
“What is it?”
“The blood mist released when Jiang Wenxu died tainted these bodies. Perhaps... Jiang Wenxu was right about one thing.” Si Wuya paused. “The Nine-leaf stage will bring forth disasters... Nine-leaf cultivators are sumptuous als in the eyes of these beasts.”
Huang Shijie smiled and said, “Manmans can’t even defeat Brahman Sea realm cultivators so how are they going to eat Nine-leaf cultivators? Isn’t that inference too unlikely?”
“No, look.” Si Wuya pointed at the huge nest in the center.
Si Wuya’s voice had barely faded when two extrely huge manmans erged from the center of the nest. Their heads were several ters long, and their eyes were as large as an adult’s fist.
The two manmans had sensed human presence so they slowly lifted their wings that spanned dozens of ters.
Swoosh!
“Uh...” Huang Shijie was rendered speechless by this sight.
“When humans explored the Blackwood Forest in the past to capture beasts and ta mounts, they had attracted so flying beasts... To stop the beasts from harming humans, I lit a fire when there was a gale and burned Blackwood Forest.”
“What do we do now? Should we burn it?” Zhu Tianyuan asked.
Si Wuya said, “Let’s retreat for now...”
“Why should we retreat? Let’s just kill them,” Zhu Tianyuan protested.
“We’ll only attract more manmans if we kill the big ones... Their targets are the corpses tainted by Jiang Wenxu’s blood,” Si Wuya said.
“Alright! Let’s retreat for now!”
The three of them reached a consensus and left the horde of manmans to return to Liang Province City.
With this, the huge manmans flew back into the nest. However, the little manmans gave chase after the trio. They pursued them all the way to the city walls.
“Miss Yuexing, take them down.”
“Understood!” On the city walls, Hua Yuexing pulled on the Falling Moon Bow and fired energy arrows. Nobody was more suited to deal with such a situation than her.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The energy arrows landed true on their targets, and the manmans rained down on the land.
