Chapter 989: Money Is Life

Zhong Ren kept using the magic formula to control the flying boat to fly lower, almost flying close to the ground, trying to use the complex terrain to hinder Zi Xiaojiu's pursuit.

The purple dove is so large that it cannot travel through narrow terrain like a flying boat.

However, Jongin's idea was wishful thinking after all.

The purple dove flapped its wings, swooped down, and flew between the two mountains.

The hard rock was as fragile as tofu in front of Zixiao Dove's wings. It was easily cut open and then overturned, turning into a tumbling stream of rocks.

Countless poisonous insects hidden in the rocks were awakened and were about to pounce on the purple dove, but were crushed into powder by the air flow caused by its wings.

Seeing that Zi Xiaojiu was not hindered by the terrain at all and was quickly closing the distance with the flying boat, Zhong Ren moved and came to the middle of the five Nascent Soul cultivators who were controlling the air defense formation.

As he punched several magic formulas into the flying boat's control array, the speed of the flying boat increased sharply, instantly breaking through the limit that a god-transforming monk could reach, and bursting out at a speed comparable to some virtual-refining monks.

However, if what everyone is facing is not a purple dove, but a land or water monster that is not good at speed, they may be able to get rid of it with the speed of the flying boat.

But in front of the flying monster - Zixiaojiu, the speed that the flying boat burst out was a bit unsatisfactory.

In the anxious eyes of everyone, as Zixiaojiu flapped its wings, the wind and clouds surged, like lightning piercing the sky, chasing him closer and closer. Its huge body was like a dark cloud, gradually covering the sky above the flying boat.

Zixiaojiu opened its claws as sharp as giant iron hooks and fiercely grabbed the flying boat.

"呲——"

The sharp claws grabbed onto the shield of the flying boat, making a sharp friction sound that made the eardrums of everyone in the flying boat hurt.

At some point, Ye Bing, Xiao Yu, and Wei Qian were sitting in the three formations of the "Xuan Kun Ming Formation" and activated the formation.

The "Xuan Kun Ming Formation" is worthy of being a sixth-level defensive formation, and it actually blocked Zi Xiaojiu's attack. But under the violent impact, the flying boat lost control and accelerated towards the ground like a falling meteorite.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The flying boat hit the mountains and rolled over, smashing countless rocks into pieces, causing the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack.

Except for Song Wen who happened to be free, the other nine people did not dare to relax at all. Even though the flying boat kept rolling, they still pressed their bodies close to the deck and continued to activate the formation.

Zhongren was even more focused and continued to inject spells into the array, intending to regain control of the spacecraft.

Above, Zixiaojiu's sharp eyes were staring at Feizhou. It seemed that it could not tear the flying boat apart with one blow, which made it extremely angry.

It flapped its wings and swooped down again.

Zixiaojiu's huge claws descended from the sky with thunderous force, knocking the airship that had just barely lifted into the air back to the ground, creating a huge deep pit.

Zixiaojiu's claws pressed firmly on the flying boat's shield. The force was so great that it was like a mountain pressing on the flying boat.

No matter how Zhongren activated the array, he could not free the flying boat from Zi Xiaojiu's control.

Zixiaojiu raised its huge head, and its sharp long beak was like a sharp sword, suddenly piercing the shield.

The shield flickered, as if it would break at any moment.

Ye Bing, Xiao Yan, and Wei Qian, the magic power in their bodies flowed into the formation like a torrent.

The three of them tried their best to maintain the operation of the "Xuan Kun Ming Formation", but it was obviously extremely difficult, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on their foreheads.

"You must hold on, once the formation is broken, we will be in danger!" Zhongren raised his head and looked at the pair of sharp claws stepping on the shield and the giant beak that kept stabbing down, with an anxious expression.

"Zhongren, you know the Cangyu Feizhou best, do you have a way to escape? Otherwise, the "Xuan Kun Ming Formation" will not be able to hold on sooner or later." Wei Qian said.

Before Zhongren could answer, Song Wen suddenly spoke.

"Senior Jongin, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones is insufficient. Please replace all the spiritual stones quickly."

Zhong Ren glanced at the spiritual stone in the eighty-one grooves. It was indeed as Song Wen said. Although there was still a little spiritual energy left in it, it was better to replace it as soon as possible in the face of Zixiaojiu's fierce attack.

He immediately put his consciousness into the storage ring, but his expression immediately froze.

"All the spiritual stones raised have been used up."

Song Wen and the five Yuanying monks each paid 500 high-grade spiritual stones. Later, Ye Bing paid another 1,000 high-grade spiritual stones for a total of 4,000 high-grade spiritual stones. In just over half a month, they had already paid 500 high-grade spiritual stones. All have been consumed.

"Everyone, should we discuss how to raise spiritual stones?" Zhong Ren asked.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed a look of disbelief.

When life and death were at stake, Zhongren actually still cared about 'raising spiritual stones'.

There are people in the world who cherish money and life so much!

Just at this time.

A cold light flashed in Zixiaojiu's eyes, and the giant beak opened slightly.

A silver lightning formed in its mouth, fell rapidly, and struck the shield of the airship.

The shield of the flying boat was shaking, and the spiritual energy of the spiritual stone in the groove was quickly extracted to stabilize the crumbling shield.

With a "pop!", the spiritual energy in a spiritual stone was first exhausted, then suddenly shattered and turned into powder.

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, filled with fear.

Especially Zhongren, in addition to fear, there was deep regret in his eyes.

A large number of spiritual stones appeared in front of Zhong Ren, Ye Bing, Wei Qian, and Xiao Yu at the same time, trying to make up for it.

However, it was too late after all.

As the first spiritual stone shattered, the other eighty spiritual stones also shattered in an instant.

The flying boat's shield also shattered.

The Purple Sky Dove obviously did not expect that the shield would be pierced suddenly. Its eyes lit up slightly, and its huge beak pecked at the people below.

The first person to bear the brunt was Zhong Ren, who was closest to it.

Zhong Ren immediately summoned a shield to protect his head.

However, the shield was easily knocked away by the giant beak and continued to fall.

Two figures suddenly appeared above Zhong Ren.

They were two Yuanying period cultivators.

They were swept by the two magic powers shot by Zhong Ren and thrown into the big mouth of the Purple Sky Dove.

The Purple Sky Dove accepted everyone and swallowed the two people in its mouth.

The other eight people abandoned the ship and took the opportunity to shoot in all directions.

How could the Purple Sky Pigeon let the prey escape so easily? It flapped its wings fiercely, like two curtains covering the sky and the sun, covering everyone.

Before the wings arrived, everyone felt a vast pressure, accompanied by a hurricane.

For a moment, everyone could not stabilize their bodies, and they all fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Everyone fell to the ground in a miserable state.

Especially the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators, all of whom were seriously injured and spitting blood.

The Purple Sky Pigeon looked down from above, and glanced at everyone with cold eyes, which was the look of a beast looking at its dying prey.
