Seeing that the flames of war wouldn't spread to the market for the time being, Lan Zhi turned to page 107 of the illustrated handbook to check for a more detailed introduction. Filthy beasts mainly fall into two categories: normal ones and mutated ones. Normal ones are fierce beasts that have filthy qi entering their bodies but didn't die and can finally coexist with the filthy qi. These fierce beasts can't expel the filthy qi from their bodies, and black and terrifying sarcomas will grow on their bodies. Although they will go mad under the stimulation of the filthy qi, their strength doesn't improve significantly. Mutated filthy beasts, on the other hand, are fierce beasts that can absorb the filthy qi for their own use. They absorb and use the filthy qi just like they do with star qi, which causes strange changes to their bodies, but their strength also has a qualitative leap. The normal species of adult bone-winged filthy birds are usually second-level filthy beasts, corresponding to the strength of cultivators at the full realm of the second meridian. However, the strength of the mutated species can reach the third level, corresponding to the strength of cultivators at the full realm of the third meridian. Such strength isn't particularly high, but they are social animals and always move in groups. It would be a disaster for anyone to encounter so many filthy beasts all at once. Fortunately, among this group that came to the market near the Sentiment Tower, only about ten have reached the third level, and most of them are still at the second level. Otherwise, it would be good enough just to be able to escape, let alone fight. Currently, there are nearly five hundred people in the market near the Sentiment Tower. Except for a few students from the Star Academy who are on their first mission, most of them have their cultivation levels between the full realm of the first meridian and the full realm of the second meridian, and a few have their cultivation levels between the full realm of the second meridian and the full realm of the third meridian. Besides, Jin Yu Man said that in order to protect the students of the Star Academy, a total of fifteen instructors from the Fengtian Star Academy came, and all of them have reached the full realm of the third meridian. If these instructors took action at the same time, it wouldn't be difficult to suppress this group of bone-winged filthy birds in the wilderness. However, it seemed that the instructors of the Fengtian Star Academy didn't plan to take action. Just after she finished reading the content about the bone-winged filthy birds, a bone-winged filthy bird broke through the cultivators' blockade, with its wings two or three meters long, shrieked and rushed into the market. The sound like a baby's scream spread in all directions, completely exceeding the limit that ordinary people's eardrums could bear. Lan Zhi only felt a buzzing in her ears and it took her a while to recover. She turned around to look at the position of the bone-winged filthy bird, only to find that several places in the market, which should have been quiet and dark, were now lit up and making noisy sounds. Among them, the inn where she was staying was the brightest and noisiest. In the boundless night, it was just like setting up a tall and bright target. Who was so stupid? Fortunately, some cultivators had already stepped forward to intercept it. Lan Zhi quickly put away the illustrated handbook and ran back to the door of the inn. The door was only ajar, and light was shining through from inside. A group of people were standing behind the door, chattering and arguing about something. Lan Zhi didn't have time to listen carefully. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, warning in a low voice, "Close the door, turn off the lights, and don't make a sound!" The people behind the door didn't close the door. Instead, they opened it wider and stuck their heads out to look. Lan Zhi was just about to push them back when the person who stuck his head out shouted, "It's you?! You lowly commoner still want to come here to take shelter!" Lan Zhi paused for a moment and then noticed that the person who stuck his head out was actually one of Jin Yu Man's vicious teammates whom she had severely scolded in front of the incense table at the Sentiment Tower. The other person hated Lan Zhi extremely and showed malice in his eyes. "Aren't you protected by the Star Spirit Lord? I'd like to see if the Star Spirit Lord can still protect you this time!" After saying that, he opened the door wide, and together with the several people beside him, grabbed Jin Yu Man and pushed her violently outside, with a distorted excitement on his face. "All of you, go to hell!"
