Hou Niao resolutely continued his cultivation plan, striving to expand his achievements in Earth Element Escape, to fly higher, farther, and faster, and to solidify every micro-manipulation of his Flying Sword.

Seagulls always hovered near the island and reefs because it was easier to find food here.
