Chapter 340: Chapter 309 Fog Bird_1

Xu Mu took out several white pills the size of longan fruit from his storage bag. He crushed them up, and scattered them around the formation method. A rich, sweetly fragrant aroma drifted from the crushed pills and spread in all directions.

This pill was known as Beasts Nourishing Pill, a commonly used medicine by Beastmasters for feeding their spirit beasts. Depending on their ingredients, they were divided into different tiers. The majority of cultivators who aimed to catch the Mist Birds used these pills, albeit of different tiers.

To ensure absolute success, Xu Mu directly crafted beyond-top-grade tier six Beasts Nourishing Pills, their tier supressing everyone present. Regardless of whether it was the at-best tier three Mist Birds, even tier five or tier six ones would probably get attracted to it.

Once the setup was complete, all that was left was to wait.

Everyone held their breaths and tightened their grips on the devices that activated the formation. They were just waiting for the arrival of the Mist Birds.

Very soon, countless Mist Birds appeared in sight. Xu Mu, with his strong eyesight, could already clearly see the appearance of the Mist Birds.

They were small birds about the size of half a palm. Their bodies were white, with just their beaks and parts of their wings black. Their wings fluttered at a rapid pace, with their obvious wing flapping sounds discernable from afar.

The position of the cultivators was all above the cliff, with no one in the two or three mile area near the cliff. That area was off-limits. Anyone daring to stay there would be subjected to the birds’ collective attack. Within a swarm of birds that covered the sky, possibly even the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators may not be able to withstand them.

It would also disturb the Mist Birds, preventing the others from catching them. Therefore, anyone who dared to stay there would be risking universal condemnation, inviting attacks from everyone.

Three miles away from the cliff– where Xu Mu was situated– was the nearest place to the Mist Birds, and the best spot to catch the Mist Birds.

In previous years, such places would be monopolized by large clans and powers. Occasionally, there would be individuals like Xu Mu who did not play by rules, showing up.

However, generally people who could defeat Xu Mu, wouldn’t compete for this spot, because around the perimeter, there would inevitably be experts from his faction. Even if they managed to grab a good spot and captured a Mist Bird, they might not be able to escape.

Seeing Xu Mu act so boldly, many people cast puzzled looks at him.

It was only when the Mist Birds started to approach that everyone started to concentrate and paid attention only to their own targets.

Whether they could have a good harvest for this year depended on how many Mist Birds they could catch today.

The Mist Birds were constantly getting closer, and after reaching the location of the cliff, they started to flock into the cave holes. Their chirping noises, even from several miles away, were crystal clear.

The Mist Birds didn’t immediately come over for the food, partly because they had just returned from the mist and needed to rest, and partly because the fragrance of the food hadn’t spread yet.

A quarter hour of silence passed when finally, sporadic Mist Birds started to fly out from the caves, heading towards the places where the cultivators were hiding.

While the intelligence of the Mist Birds wasn’t high, the only commendable aspect about them is their astonishing long-distance sensing capability. They could sense the presence of nearby cultivators, but since the cultivators didn’t pose a strong threat to them, they were confident that they could escape. Hence, they came over bravely and directly towards the scent of the food.

“Here they come!”

Someone excitedly clenched their fists as they eagerly waited for the Mist Birds to fly into their traps.

“What’s happening? Why are they all flying towards him?”

People noticed something strange: most of the Mist Birds were flying directly towards Xu Mu. Very soon, the formation trap that Xu Mu had set up was full of Mist Birds.

“…”

Xu Mu hadn’t expected that it would go so smoothly.

He initiated the formation method. Immediately, dozens of Mist Birds were caught in it while others were scared away, fluttering about now flying towards other traps.
