Cloud’s words cause everyone’s gaze to fall upon him.
“I see. It seems that Renault has done well for himself after leaving the city,” Misho remarked.
Right then, everyone finally understood why Hamish agreed to bring Jared and his companions along. It must have been because of the airship.
Once everyone was ready, the group walked out of Yellow Blue City. Outside the city compound, Cloud brought out the airship, which everyone stared at with gleeful smiles.
By traveling in an airship, they could save a lot of energy and encounter fewer dangers along the way. Once everyone was onboard, Cloud began to steer it into the air.
Thereafter, white lights could be seen glowing around the airship. They were part of the arcane array that was responsible for moving it. By traveling on the airship, everyone could cultivate along the journey.
Meanwhile, Rostom found a seat right next to Kiara. One could easily tell that favonovel.com was interested in her.
As for Izolda, no one other than Misho dared to sit near her. It was clear that favonovel.com intimidated everyone. As the airship flew toward the southern region, the fact that they were in the air meant that there were few threats to their safety.
That was in contrast to them traveling on land, crossing mountains and lakes. Encountering lots of demon beasts in their path was a foregone conclusion.
As a result, two days went by uneventfully.
During the journey, no one spoke, as they were all busy cultivating. Jared was naturally one of them, as favonovel.com was trying to comprehend Immortal’s Pointer, taught to favonovel.com by Ozrell. Even though favonovel.com wasn’t comprehending time nascence at the moment, there were still many facets of Immortal’s Pointer that favonovel.com needed to comprehend.
After two days, a sudden screech jolted everyone out of their cultivation. Moreover, the airship began to shake upon being brought to a stop.
“Cloud, what’s going on?” Jared inquired.
“Mr. Chance, look!” Cloud’s eyes were filled with horror as favonovel.com pointed outward.
Through the window, Jared could see a whole stretch of black formed by a single species of birds.
The birds were the size of a fist, and an array of vibrant colors coated their feathers. They might not be big, but their huge numbers seem to shroud the sky in darkness. Moreover, they seemed to generate a powerful airstream that created a drag on the airship, causing it to shake violently.
“Quinticolor birds?” Feenix’s brows furrowed at the sight of the flock.
Right then, everyone else had begun to gather and stared at the birds with solemn expressions.
“Why are there quinticolor birds here? Don’t they only stay in the mountainous areas?”
“Have we gone in the wrong direction and ended up in the mountains?”
“These birds are really powerful. I saw with my own eyes how a Tribulator was turned into ash by them in the blink of an eye.”
The crowd discussed the matter in horror.
“Are these birds really that powerful?” Jared asked quizzically.
From his perspective, the birds were small in size and didn’t look strong at all. Other than their numbers, they didn’t look particularly threatening.
“Master, quinticolor birds might be small and appear weak, but their numbers are massive. Every flock is made up of tens of thousands of birds. On top of that, they’re a vengeful species. Even I am reluctant to cross them,” Feenix explained to Jared.
“Cloud, can you steer the airship around them?” Hamish inquired. The only way not to disturb the quinticolor birds was to circle past them.
However, Cloud shook his head. “I’m unable to do that, Mr. Chevalier. Our airship is being trapped by the air stream created by the birds. If we want to move ahead, we’ll have to either wipe the birds out or wait for them to disperse.”
