Tens of thousands of Spirit Illusion Greatsword silhouettes danced in the air as well.
Seeing that Miao Yi had come out, the two of them put away their transcendent artifacts and walked over with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were very satisfied.
Sikong Wuwei waved the shrunken hammer in his hand and said, "This artifact is not bad, but it lacks flexibility. It's not possible to wield it as a weapon after it's enlarged. It's too heavy. Otherwise, it would be great to carry it on a mount and fight enemies. It's a pity that it can only be used to smash the ground. But I guess we can make do with it."
"Then we'll make do with it." Miao Yi gave a perfunctory reply and changed the topic. "Right now, we are the only ones on the island. To be safe, we should make some preparations."
Now that they were talking business, Zhao Fei's smile faded and he put away the Spirit Illusion Greatsword as well. He asked, "What preparations?"
Miao Yi pointed to the surroundings and said, "We are few in number. If we encounter a strong enemy and can't hold them off, we will have to retreat. I want to prepare some wooden rafts around the island so that we can escape in any direction in case of an emergency."
"What are you afraid of?!" Sikong Wuwei waved the hammer in his hand and laughed. "If one comes, I will smash one to death. If two comes, I will smash a pair. If a group comes, I will smash a whole bunch!"
Zhao Fei sighed. "Sikong, stop fooling around. Miao Yi is right. There's nothing wrong with making preparations. If our transcendent artifacts can't hold them off, we won't have to panic."
Sikong Wuwei waved his hand and said, "Whatever! Whatever!"
Once they were done, they immediately got to work. They rode their dragon steeds around the island and prepared wooden rafts.
It was better to be prepared than not. They worked for the entire afternoon and hid the rafts at over fifty points around the island. They only stopped when it was dark.
When they returned to the fort, Zhao Fei pointed to the highest peak and said, "I will be on duty today. Tomorrow, at this time, one of you will come and take my place."
"Alright! We will take turns. "Miao Yi nodded in agreement.
Zhao Fei left.
After working in the forest for the entire afternoon, everyone was very dirty. Sikong Wuwei dragged Miao Yi to a lake in the mountains to take a bath.
Qi Xiuhong naturally couldn't tag along as she was a woman. She went to the kitchen alone and covered it up tightly, then boiled some water for the bath.
There was a channel in the kitchen to draw water from the mountain spring, so there was no need to fetch water.
Under the moonlight, they were drinking and bathing in the open-air spring. It was a different kind of feeling.
When the two men returned, reeking of alcohol, they coincidentally bumped into Qi Xiuhong, who had just finished washing up, coming out of the kitchen. Miao Yi's eyes brightened, and he dashed over, immediately pulling Qi Xiuhong into his embrace by the waist. A warm, fragrant, and soft body filled his arms. It made people even more restless.
Qi Xiuhong was startled. There were still outsiders watching. Her face flushed red as she pushed Miao Yi a couple of times, hinting for him to quickly put her down.
Miao Yi ignored her. It was not like everyone was unaware of the relationship between the two of them. He carried her and strode into a cave.
Sikong Wuwei was taken aback. He clicked his tongue and returned to his cave.
As for Miao Yi's cave, it was soon filled with the light of spring. Qi Xiuhong's suppressed moans were as unbearable as her graceful, fair body...
The next morning, the man and woman were still hugging each other as they slept. Suddenly, the sound of galloping dragon steeds could be heard. The naked Qi Xiuhong was startled awake by reflex, and quickly pushed away Miao Yi, who was hugging her. She covered her chest with one arm, and quickly picked up her clothes and put them on.
The caves in this fort had no doors. It would be disastrous if someone came in and saw them.
As expected, someone was heading straight for the cave, scaring Qi Xiuhong so much that she was flustered.
Fortunately, Sikong Wuwei's voice could be heard from outside. "Zhao Fei, don't go in. Miao Yi and the other man are sleeping inside."
With just one sentence, he exposed the situation inside the cave. Qi Xiuhong was extremely embarrassed.
Miao Yi, who was tidying up his clothes, saw her embarrassed look and couldn't help but laugh. "Why do you have to lie to yourself? It's not like they don't know about our relationship."
Qi Xiuhong lowered her head and bit her lip without saying a word. She only quietly tidied up her clothes. She had already done what she shouldn't. Even now, she still kept her distance from Miao Yi as soon as she got out of bed and put on her clothes. He didn't know what she was thinking.
The two of them came out of the cave. Qi Xiuhong also kept her distance from Miao Yi. When Miao Yi saw the two outside, he asked, "Zhao Fei, what's the matter?"
Zhao Fei swept a glance at the man and woman. He didn't have the time to care about such trivial matters. They weren't children. It was normal for adult men and women to have sex. What was there to be concerned about? Besides, there were more important matters to attend to right now. Naturally, he would put aside the matters between a man and a woman. He pointed to the sky and said, "Look!"
Miao Yi looked up and saw two black dots circling high up in the sky. He immediately opened his transcendence vision and saw two large birds with rainbow-colored feathers circling in the sky like eagles. It wasn't his first time seeing these birds. He immediately exclaimed, "The School of Imperial Beasts' Seeker Birds? The three major sects have discovered us? "
Zhao Fei said solemnly, "There were three of them before. They were scurrying all over this island and discovered me. Unfortunately, they were very agile and quickly flew away before I could make a move. Now that one of them has left, I'm afraid it's gone to send a message. We need to make preparations early. "
"It's not a good thing to be targeted by these feathered beasts. Even if we leave now, they will still be watching us from the sky." Miao Yi gritted his teeth as he stared at the sky.
"F * ck them! Why are they flying so high? Otherwise, I'll smash them down with my hammer! "Sikong Wuwei roared angrily. It wasn't easy for him to get some rest, but now he was feeling restless again.
Miao Yi seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. His eyes flashed, and with a flick of his sleeve, he shouted, "Go!"
Thirty-five tiny mantids quickly shot up into the sky. Sikong Wuwei exclaimed, "What are those crab-sized ones? Are they mantids? They're so fast! "
The tiny mantids were indeed very fast. When they first hatched, it was a piece of cake for them to hunt down sparrows with their speed. Now that they had grown to this stage, their speed naturally went without saying.
"Can these mantids defeat the Seeker Birds?" Zhao Fei couldn't help feeling a little worried. Birds were the natural enemies of insects like the mantids.
Miao Yi was a little worried as well. After all, the Seeker Birds were no ordinary birds. They were spiritual beasts that the School of Imperial Beasts had tamed. He was also worried that something might happen to the tiny mantids. After all, the tiny mantids were still very weak. A White Lotus cultivator could easily kill them. They were far from being as terrifying as the Hell Mantids in the Boundless Secular World, which were invulnerable to weapons. Normally, Miao Yi was reluctant to use them. Now that Lao Bai had probably passed away, he wouldn't be able to get his hands on them anymore.
But these Seeker Birds were too despicable. Once they were targeted, they would have nowhere to hide. They had no choice but to get rid of them.
However, it was clear that his worries were unfounded. When everyone opened their transcendence vision to take a closer look, they realized that the tiny mantids were much faster than the Seeker Birds. As soon as the tiny mantids appeared, the two Seeker Birds actually screeched in fear and fled.
The thirty-five tiny mantids were exceptionally ferocious. They split into two groups and quickly chased after the two Seeker Birds. Soon, they caught up to the two Seeker Birds and pierced through them like they were threading a needle. In the blink of an eye, they had killed the two Seeker Birds and sent them crashing down from the sky.
The group of tiny mantids didn't let them go. They swooped down from the sky and charged forward. In an instant, they had dismembered the two Seeker Birds, sending their colorful feathers flying everywhere.
"Could these mantids be spiritual beasts?" Sikong Wuwei exclaimed in surprise. Zhao Fei and Qi Xiuhong were equally shocked.
Seeing that the two Seeker Birds had been killed, Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want the tiny mantids to attract too much attention, so he quickly called all thirty-five of them back to him. With a wave of his hand, all thirty-five of them scurried into his storage ring and disappeared without a trace.
All three of their gazes fell upon Miao Yi's storage ring. Zhao Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "These mantids can stay inside a storage ring?"
It should be understood that the inside of a storage ring was a vacuum. Animals would surely die if they stayed inside for too long.
Miao Yi didn't want to discuss this matter any further. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not waste any more time. The two Seeker Birds have been killed. We can't stay here any longer. Let's retreat!"
"Don't!" Sikong Wuwei raised his hand to stop him. "Isn't it just the three major sects? Now that the three of us have top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts, we don't have to be afraid of them. I can crush them with my hammer. Besides, we can't just keep running away like this. We'll have to face them eventually. We can't hide forever. "
Miao Yi was speechless. He knew that this bastard only wanted to use the Mountain Suppressing Hammer to satisfy his craving. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have given it to him so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fei said, "Miao Yi, Sikong's words aren't without reason. We can't keep hiding forever. The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade will have to come to an end sooner or later."
Miao Yi frowned. "The three major sects are among the best in the Fifth Earthly Branch. They definitely live up to their reputation. I'm afraid we might not be able to handle them."
Zhao Fei explained, "We can try it out first and see how strong they are. If we can win, then we'll fight. If we can't, then we'll run. There's no need to fight them head-on!"
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded. He took out the map of the Western Star Sea and looked at it, then called Qi Xiuhong over as well. He pointed to another island and said, "Xiuhong, once you've determined the direction the enemy is coming from, immediately leave in the opposite direction. Go to that island and wait for us there!"
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei nodded, agreeing to this arrangement. Otherwise, with Qi Xiuhong's strength, she would only become a burden if anything were to happen to her. It would only make it more difficult for everyone to escape.
Qi Xiuhong was also aware that this was for her own good. She didn't want to drag everyone down, so she silently nodded.
Once everyone was fully equipped, they rode their dragon steeds up to the highest mountain peak and looked around.
About four hours later, a faint shadow could be seen above the blue sea, quickly approaching them.
"They're here!" Zhao Fei warned with a solemn expression.
Miao Yi immediately turned to Qi Xiuhong and said, "You go first!"
"Be careful. I'll be waiting for you!" Qi Xiuhong said, then quickly turned her dragon steed around and rushed down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, another rainbow-colored Seeker Bird flew over from the direction the enemy was coming from. It seemed to have noticed that someone was leaving and quickly chased after Qi Xiuhong. Miao Yi raised an eyebrow and sent out two tiny mantids with a flick of his hand.
He had already seen how powerful the tiny mantids were against the Seeker Bird. It would be a waste to send out a whole bunch of them again.
As expected, even with two tiny mantids attacking, the Seeker Bird was so frightened that it lost its sense of direction. It screeched and flew about in the air, as though it was extremely afraid of the tiny mantids.
