Only Xu Ni, her Magic Robe kept her body dry and fresh.

"Yu Lin!" Suddenly someone shouted.

The crowd turned towards the voice.

They saw a man suddenly leave the group, Jumping onto a tree, stretching out his arms as if to welcome something.

Whoosh!

A giant bird swooped down, carrying the man away.

"It's the bloodsucking mosquitoes." Weng Liang said heavily, "The larvae parasitize, controlling the host, climbing high, getting caught by the Corpse Swallowing Bird, thus the bloodsucking mosquitoes parasitize the Corpse Swallowing Bird. The blood of the Corpse Swallowing Bird greatly benefits the growth of the bloodsucking mosquitoes."

"Don't just stand there, move quickly." Another Qi Refinement cultivator shouted.

The group quickened their pace once again.

One by one, people kept leaving the group, Jumping onto treetops, getting preyed upon by the Corpse Swallowing Birds.

The number of people dwindled, Weng Liang and others also started sweating.

No one knew if they would be the next to lose control!

The worst was the cattle and horses, once these animals were parasitized, the goods had to be carried by the cultivators themselves.

Those who lost their cattle, lost their goods, under the threat of death, their expressions became more and more ferocious, emotions on the brink of collapse.

Those few who are unfortunate themselves, yet hope others are fortunate, are few and far between.

Most people, when they are not doing well, do not hope others are either, or even prefer that others are dragged down with them when they are doing poorly.

Some had already begun eyeing others' cattle and horses.

The Spiritual Sheep was particularly focused on.

Jiang Xiaoyue watched these people, filled with fright, clutching the Golden Light Talisman tightly in her hand.

Just as emotions were about to explode, Weng Liang shouted, "We're almost out! Hold on!"

Relief washed over the crowd, and those cultivators who thought they would never get out, their reddened eyes regained rationality.

The convoy dashed out of the forest, it was the time when the Heavenly Light was faintly bright, and the dew was the heaviest.

"We are safe here," Weng Liang said with a smile, "blessing in disguise, this time because we were targeted by the bloodsucking mosquitoes, the bandit cultivators dared not trouble us."

"Not necessarily."

A group of people sprang from the edge of the forest.

Some stood on the ground, some stood on tree branches, some stood atop the canopy, while others rode Magic Artifacts, Flying in the air.

"Bandit cultivators!" Weng Liang's face turned grim.

Meeting bandit cultivators after everyone was exhausted, having depleted Spiritual Power on the road, was a dire situation.

The three huddled closely, hearing each other's heavy, exhausted breathing.

"I am Weng Liang from Green Moon Square, greeting fellow Daoists!" Weng Liang cupped his hands.

"So it is Daoist Weng." A woman floating on a Flying Sword said.

"Daoist, you know me? In that case, why not stop here?"

"Usually, encountering you, I give a little leeway, now how much Spiritual Power do you have left? Do it!"

All the bandit cultivators formed mudras simultaneously.

Roar!

Countless tree roots were driven, surging like a tide, earth waves rolling.

For loose cultivators without the Flying Spell or Magic Artifacts, almost lethal.

Even if loose cultivators could fly, what about their goods?

Jiang Xiaoyue leapt to the front, blocking the sheep cart, swinging a pole, whipping the snake-like entangling roots apart.

The pole was a Low-Level Magic Artifact, but a Magic Artifact nonetheless, incredibly powerful, the roots were thick, but exploded into wood shavings at a touch.

Xian'er, Xu Ni drove Magical Swords, guarding the sides, sharing the pressure for her.

"Fireball Technique!"

"Golden Radiance Skill!"

"Water Bomb Talisman!"

"Moonlight Blade!"

The crowd cast spells to protect their goods.

Weng Liang and others charged up, tangling with several Qi Refinement cultivators in the air, Flying Swords chasing, spells clashing.

The sky had yet to brighten, the spells' light was dazzling.

Amid the brilliance, blood splattered.

Shuh!

"Xiaoyue!" Xian'er shouted.

Several green vines suddenly shot out from the soil, entangling Jiang Xiaoyue.

Xu Ni unleashed a breath of Spiritual Energy, the Magical Sword ringing, explosively shooting out.

Among the bandits, a female cultivator standing on a branch sneered, forming a mudra, the vines lifted Jiang Xiaoyue, sending her towards the Magical Sword's edge.

Xu Ni hurriedly redirected the Magical Sword.

The Magical Sword was repelled, the vines binding Jiang Xiaoyue, rapidly retracting, heading into the forest.

Xian'er's face faltered, she directly pulled out a Fire Spirit Talisman, pouring in her remaining Spiritual Power.

Activate.

Boom!!

Explosive Spiritual Power waves swept in all directions.

Spiritual Flames surged, turning into a ten-meter winged flame Spirit Bird in the sky.

"Fire Spirit Talisman!" Everyone was shocked.

Xian'er staggered, fell back.

"Baa!" The Spiritual Sheep propped her body.

Xian'er gasped, lips softly uttering, "Go!"

Boom!!

Spiritual Flames erupted again, the Flame Bird dove, its path dried the ground, the forest burst into flames.

"Ah!"

All the cultivators screamed in agony, the terrifying Flames directly igniting their bodies.

"Stop!" The female cultivator reused her tactic, raising Jiang Xiaoyue with vines.

"Xian'er!" Xu Ni shouted.

"Do not fear!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted simultaneously.

Xian'er's eyes firm, the fire spirit constructed by Spiritual Flames, pounced towards Jiang Xiaoyue.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Xiaoyue became a human torch.

At the moment the vines burned off, she activated the Golden Light Talisman, tumbling down.

The Fire Spirit brushed over her head, crashing into the bandit group.

"Ah!" Someone instantly turned to charcoal.

"I'll kill you!"

Pillars of human bodies burst into flames.

Spiritual Power shields ignited.

Low-level, Mid-level Magic Artifacts shattered.

The First Rank Nine-Level Talisman was unstoppable.

"Kill her!" The bandit leader targeted Xian'er.

If they could kill the talisman-using cultivator, the Fire Spirit without command would disperse on its own.

One by one, human torches rushed towards the exhausted Xian'er.

"Protect Xian'er!" Xu Ni slapped a Golden Light Talisman on herself, shouting and taking action.

Jiang Xiaoyue also desperately resisted.

However, only the two of them.

The others were saving their goods; it was their life, their entire belongings, also ignited under the Fire Spirit's power.

"Brother Liang!" Xu Ni pleaded for help.

"Run! Let them cover the rear!" Weng Liang led the others in fleeing.

To "save the beauty heroically" at this moment, bandit cultivators would surely be killed by the Fire Spirit, which was not permissible, abandoning beauty was the only option.

Xu Ni's face turned pale, her mind unsettled, struck by several at once, without the Golden Light Talisman, not even her whole body would remain.

"Xian'er, give the Golden Light Talisman to Xiao Mie!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

Xian'er took out a Golden Light Talisman, the Spiritual Sheep spewed a stream of Spiritual Power, activating it.

Spells, Magic Artifacts fell, a golden line, outlined on Xian'er and the Spiritual Sheep, blocked all attacks.

"Brother Weng!" Xu Ni called in alarm.

"Don't be afraid!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

"Fire Spirit Talisman!" the bandit leader shouted with a mixture of fear and anger.

Xian'er gasped, took a step back, and then extracted a Fire Spirit Talisman and channeled all her remaining Spiritual Power into it.

The Golden Light Talisman! Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

Activating it.

Whoosh!

She became engulfed in golden radiance. Just as the vines snapped, she exploded with the energy of the Fire Spirit Talisman.

The flames surged, turning into a ten-meter wingspan Spirit Bird in the air.

"Go!" Xian'er waved, sending the fire spirit into the group of bandit cultivators, leaving charred remains.

"Damn it!" Before the bandit leader left, she fired a Fireball towards the three's cart.

The dust settled, and the Fire Spirit slowly dissipated, leaving behind only blackened Spirit Rice flying into the sky like a shower of black rain.
