Within moments, the monk had already killed a few hundreds corpse king birds.
When the rest of the corpse king birds saw what happened, they were all terrified. They flew away in an instant.
The place became quiet again.
"Let's go," said the monk to Austin and Brady.
The two immediately followed.
When they were about to go, a series of creepy laughter resounded the whole space all of a sudden. It was coming from the mountain nearby.
The laughter sounded very challenging.
"Get out!" shouted the monk.
He was wearing a stern face as he looked at the direction of the mountain.
Suddenly, he turned into a black wind and pounced on that mountain without any warnings. He didn't even say anything to Austin and Brady.
The two men were shocked by the scene that unfolded before their eyes.
Then they saw a humanoid creature with long black hair spreading all over its body on the top of the mountain. It flashed and vanished in an instant.
A few moments later, the monk came back to where Austin and Brady were.
"What happened, sir?" asked Austin to the monk.
His voice was full of respect.
"Someone is hiding in the dark. He used the corpse king birds to attack us," replied the monk.
"I tried to catch him but unfortunately, he was able to escape," he added.
He then urged Austin and Brady to keep going.
Austin was in great shock upon hearing what the monk had said.
'Someone controlled the corpse king birds to attack us? The corpse king birds are as powerful as cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm. I didn't know that there is someone more powerful than them. Since he was able to control the corpse king birds, he must really be strong, ' thought Austin inwardly.
He was deeply absorbed in his thoughts.
He was trying to imagine that creature who was able to control the powerful corpse king birds. He couldn't imagine how powerful he would be.
"I think exploring this place is a huge mistake. This seems to be a suicidal task," said Austin to Brady.
He communicated with Brady through his spiritual sense.
"I think so too."
Brady nodded in agreement.
The two of them were walking behind the monk. As they looked at him, his golden robe was fluttering against the wind and his long sleeves were floating in the air. He looked like he was just having a sightseeing leisurely. However, his speed was astonishingly fast.
Based on their observation, the monk seemed to be performing some enchantments. Austin and Brady were mesmerized as they watched him taking a small step at a time. Before they could know it, he was already thousands of meters away from them.
Austin and Brady moved as fast as they could to keep up with him. To their relief, it only took them a few seconds to get close to the monk every time he took a step.
But Austin was the slowest among the three of them.
If Brady hadn't helped him from time to time, he would have already lost them.
Finally, the three of them flew over a big black mountain and reached a mysterious place which was being shrouded by a black mist.
Among the black mountains in front of them, they had spotted a valley. There was a very calm lake on the surface of the valley.
At this point, the sunset tinted the sky red. It added a layer of golden color to the surface of the lake.
"Wow, there are so many intelligent semi-omnipotent herbs!" exclaimed Austin. He pointed at the turtles in the lake.
There were dozens of turtles slowly moving and playing with each other. Each turtle was emitting a spiritual energy. The ray of the sun that was gradually setting down shone on the back of the turtles making their shells glow.
An intoxicating fragrance of herbs floated from the lake and filled their noses.
"Oh my god! Dozens of intelligent semi-omnipotent herbs are here!"
Austin's eyes lit up. He seemed to be drooling in excitement.
"Sir, is it safe to get these semi-omnipotent herbs?"
Austin asked the monk.
At that moment, the monk also stopped moving and stared at the lake. It was as if he was thinking of something.
All of a sudden, the calm lake became upset. Out of the blue, a loud sound resounded and waves soared into the sky.
The water split and a figure showed up at the middle.
