Chapter 619: Doubts! (4000 words)
Uncle Liang, half-skeptical, nocked an arrow. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if a mysterious power had appeared within him, spreading to every corner of his body. It was very abrupt, yet it made him feel all the energy in his body became smooth.
Swish!
Uncle Liang, still bewildered, let the arrow fly, and it instantly pierced through one of the meat-winged creatures!
"This..."
Uncle Liang was stunned himself!
In the past, he had fought against the evil spirits of the underworld, and his arrows could hardly damage their skin. But now he managed to do it, which made him quite surprised!
In fact, he also possessed the strength of the Meridian Opening stage. Without the restriction of the moonprint, he could naturally exert power of the later Meridian Opening stage and injure the meat-winged monsters.
"Kill the underworld spirits! Kill them!"
Seeing the meat-winged creatures continuously being shot down, more and more hunters started to rally. They began to counterattack those meat-winged creatures, and the valley seemed to be raining arrows, taking down those meat-winged creatures.
Only then did the hunters realize how weak the meat-winged monsters were. They couldn't withstand the arrows at all. The power within each hunter gradually awakened. They shouted and vented their hatred towards the underworld spirits with their bows and arrows.
But what the hunters did not see, were two figures standing atop the hidden cliffs, coldly watching everything.
Surprisingly, it was Kari and Rock!
By the time these two arrived, all the meat-winged creatures had been shot until only a puddle of underworld ichor remained, making it impossible to stop them.
"These bastards dare to rebel! I'll go kill them!"
Rock was furious, and in an instant, the white feathers on his back shed, lumps of flesh swelled on his skin, transforming instantly into a meat-winged monster.
As soon as they show their killing intent, they transform.
In Rock's eyes, only the Moon God Race was qualified to slaughter the Human Race mercilessly using various brutal methods. But the Human Race must not resist and could only endure obediently. Anyone who resisted would die more miserably!
However, Kari remained calm and said, "With your strength, it's no different from seeking death."
Now that Changpan Valley had begun to counterattack the meat-winged monsters, even with Rock's prowess, he absolutely couldn't withstand these humans. As it stood, the strongest among the humans could kill Rock one-on-one! T!his c%h@a&pt%er was u#p+l$o#a$ded# by the t!e@am at MV$LEMP&Y-R.
"But do we just watch these lowly beings kill our kin?" Rock spat fiercely.
Kari chuckled coldly and said, "It's evident Changpan Valley has produced a human genius this year. This genius is rallying the humans for retaliation. Human geniuses must be eliminated. We just need to openly take him away, no need to lift a finger."
His gaze fell on Xiang Beifei among the crowd. These humans constantly discussed "Xiao Houzi". Xiao Houzi must be that genius!
"Once we take Xiao Houzi away, we can do as we please with him, and your coming-of-age ceremony can continue."
Kari had the ability to snatch Xiao Houzi directly, but as a mentor, he should not interfere arbitrarily with the meat-winged monsters' coming-of-age ceremony, so he decided to use the simplest method.
Rock understood and nodded, "So that's how it is. I understand."
He calmed the killing intent within himself. After it vanished, the yellow lumps on his body began to shrink, his horns gradually disappeared, and pure feathers slowly regrew on the pair of meat wings on his back.
In a flash, Rock transformed back into a dashing young man.
"If we enter in this form, with a mere mention, these foolish humans will eagerly hand over Xiao Houzi to us. After all, we are the divine presence they revere," Kari said with a smile.
"Wise mentor."
Rock had great admiration for Kari.
By entering the valley in this form, the hunters would immediately kneel in reverence, crying out for divine protection, and voluntarily surrender the pride of the Human Race.
Without shedding a drop of blood, they could cruelly trample and torment the pride of the Human Race. What could be more delightful than this?
"Remember, follow my lead, don't reveal your killing intent. When you appear before the humans in this form, you must not transform in front of them!" Kari warned again.
This was a strict rule because if the Humans discovered that the meat-winged monsters were their revered Divine Lords, they would be hard to control and unlikely to obediently worship the Moon God in the future.
"Understood," Rock said.
Actually, Rock already understood without being told. All meat-winged monsters knew this from the day they began training.
Of course, in the forest, the meat-winged monsters couldn't revert at the brink of death because they needed to suppress the killing intent to appear sacred. The new generation of meat-winged monsters had too little control to restrain their hatred towards humans at such moments. Hence, they couldn't revert to the Moon God's form. If they could, humans wouldn't kill them in their original form.
——
In the valley, everyone was now boiling with excitement.
Every hunter had comprehended Jiang Chuan's theory of overcoming fear. They all realized they could kill the underworld spirits, and their confidence grew even stronger.
"So the underworld spirits grow stronger with our fear. If we're not afraid, they weaken. We've learned something!"
"To think Xiao Houzi was the first to discover this truth. Losing memory wasn't all bad after all."
