The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

"It ran to the beach again. It seems that this strange thing really likes to be near water."

Zeng Shen looked at the contents of the prompt card, muttered something to himself, and then led the believers toward the eastern beach.

From his current location, the distance to the eastern beach is about ten kilometers, which would take the monstrous wrathosaurus at full speed at least ten minutes.

However, Zeng Shen did not rush over at full speed, but instead carefully observed the situation on the east side of the island.

On the east side of the island, just as the lizard girl Xini'er said, there is plenty of food and abundant produce; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a small granary of the island.

Along the way, he encountered giant rabbits, giant primitive pigs, giant turkeys, and giant clawed red crabs, which were not only suitable as livestock but also had a high reproductive capacity, were easy to tame, and would not attack people unless provoked.

Besides these strange beasts, there were also many thriving edible plants, as well as a plant that was very easy to fill one's stomach, which attracted his attention.

This plant is called the Western Breadfruit Tree. As long as there is water, soil, and sunlight, it can grow sweet wild fruits as big as winter melons. They are very filling and attract the strange animals in the area to come and eat them.

After walking and stopping for about ten minutes, Zeng Shen and his group passed through a dense coconut grove and arrived at their destination.

Upon arriving at the beach on the eastern island, Zeng Shen did not rush towards the beach, but instead stopped to observe the situation.

The sandy area on the east side of the beach is the same size as the sandy areas on the other two sides of the island. It is nearly a hundred meters wide and consists of fine sand from the edge of the coconut trees to the area near the wave-washed area.

Moreover, the beach is extremely long; Zeng Shen felt that this beach area should encircle the entire island.

“Master, look over there.” The succubus Nusi pointed to a group of creatures in the far distance and said, “Those look like the giant ostriches that have been parasitized.”

Zeng Shen looked over upon hearing this, but unfortunately, the distance was too great, and he couldn't see clearly like the succubus Nusi.

therefore.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look. You stay here and don't alert them."

"Yes, Master," the believers replied.

Zeng Shen then took out the replica card and said to Kekelin and Yadidi beside him, "That place is too far from here, at least seven or eight hundred meters away. You two go to the replica card first."

"Ah."

Kekelin and Yadidi nodded and transformed into two streaks of light, flying back into the replica card.

Zeng Shen, on the other hand, focused his consciousness and quickly used his skill, Illusionary Butterfly Concealment.

In an instant, countless butterflies materialized around him, flying in all directions before gradually dissipating.

As for his true form, he had already transformed into a blue-patterned butterfly when all the butterflies dispersed and flew forward.

Two minutes later.

When he got closer to the group of creatures, about 300 meters away, he was able to see what they looked like.

There are sixteen of these strange beasts in total.

They all have a ring of fence-like horns on their heads, and their bodies are shaped like giant ostriches. Their black and red fluffy feathers are like a large cushion, and their thick legs are about the same length as those of a monstrous crocodile, clearly indicating that they are also fast-moving beasts.

At this moment, they are on the beach, enjoying the prey of several giant red-clawed crabs, each three meters long with claws over two meters long.

"These large birds and beasts should be the giant ostriches mentioned in the hint card."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, continuing to flap his butterfly wings, preparing to get closer and cast a spying glance at these large birds to get a better understanding of them.

As soon as he got within two hundred meters, a rapid warning sound suddenly rang in his ears.

[Warning! Warning! The once docile flock of giant ostriches has become extremely irritable under the control of a group of mysterious and unpredictable nightmare spirits. Any living being that approaches may attack them. Once the host exits butterfly form, they will attract attention and be attacked.]

"Sure enough, these big birds are giant ostriches."

Zeng Shen listened to the system notification and thought to himself before continuing to fly forward.

Simultaneously.

He focused his consciousness slightly and threw down one by one the peering eyes of the giant ostriches. Very quickly.

Above the heads of these giant ostriches, panels that only he could see appeared rapidly.

Zeng Shen glanced at the panels and then focused his attention on the largest ostrich panel.

[Wind-type creature: Giant Horned Ostrich]

[Qualification: Lord Level]

[Tier 3: 25/6500]

[Name: Not yet chosen.]

[Skills: Rapid Assault (Advanced), Giant Horn Dash (Intermediate), Armor Break (Intermediate), Crimson Feather Whirlwind (Basic), Leaping Strike (Basic)]

[Religion: None.]

[Mood: Irritable]

[Analysis: The giant ostrich, an omnivorous beast, appears docile and easily tamed, but it can become extremely dangerous if angered.]

Zeng Shen looked at the panel of this Tier 3 Giant Horned Ostrich and didn't need to think much about it.

He knew that the Nightmare Spirit Chieftain must be residing in its body.

After all, among these sixteen giant horned ostriches, it was the only one with a third-tier aptitude, and even more so, a lord-level aptitude.

But now, there is a problem he needs to face.

That is, if I release Linkek and Yadidi and let them get close to these giant ostriches, will they be attacked by them?

"Probably not."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, then began to analyze himself.

“After all, these nightmare spirits don’t know that Link and Yadi are my people, and the hint card just indicated that replicas are very attractive to them.”

Zeng Shen thought for a while and decided to give it a try.

Immediately, he flew behind the giant ostrich, to the surface of the sea where the water was one and a half meters deep, opened the backpack space, and focused his consciousness on the two replica cards inside.

In an instant, Linkek and Yadidi emerged from the replica card and, caught off guard, fell into the sea with a 'plop'.

The giant ostriches that were feeding nearby were startled when they heard the splash and raised their heads to look at the spot where the person had fallen into the water.

Suddenly.

Two stunningly beautiful women, soaking wet, were rising from the sea when they appeared before them.

"Uh...uh..."

Upon seeing Linkke and Yadidi, these giant ostriches immediately emitted angry and unpleasant growls, their eyes turning red and their massive claws revealing sharp tips, poised to attack.

Available in the next second.

All the giant ostriches fell silent, frozen in place.

Followed by.

A series of urgent notification sounds rang in Zeng Shen's ears.

[Danger! Danger! The bodies of the replicants Link and Yadi are being possessed by a group of Nightmare Spirits, a bizarre and intelligent race of rules, who are vying for the right to inhabit them. Hosts, please expel them as soon as possible, otherwise their bodies will become a breeding ground for these Nightmare Spirits and will spread to the dreams of any living being with whom they have physical contact.]
