Chapter 621: Change Back!
The nerves of the Iron Beast are very tough rope material, comparable to steel, yet flexible, and hunters often use them to make ropes, so they're considered the best tool for capturing Meat-Winged Monsters.
When the hunters caught the two Meat-Winged Monsters, they were quite startled, as the two ugly creatures were still roaring and brandishing sharp claws and teeth. The hunters also feared being torn apart by the Meat-Winged Monsters, but fortunately, everyone else aimed arrows at their heads. Brothers Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan, as leaders, still managed to capture these two Meat-Winged Monsters.
This was their first time catching live Meat-Winged Monsters, which was incredibly rare.
"Brothers, take them back, we must let the people of Changpan Valley see the true reality, and not allow them to be deceived again!"
The hunters started to leave the canyon in droves, surrounding the two Meat-Winged Monsters, watching them like tigers, never taking their eyes off the Meat-Winged Monsters. Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М V L Е М Р Y R) аpprесiаtеs yоur rеаdеrship аt thе sоurсе.
In reality, these cages couldn't possibly contain the Meat-Winged Monsters, but with Xiang Beifei around, even experts at the Heavenly Connection level couldn't escape once caught by him, let alone Meat-Winged Monsters at the God Refining and Meridian Opening stages.
Xiang Beifei instructed Xiaohei and Erha to search the woods for other Meat-Winged Monsters, determined to capture all the Meat-Winged Monsters attending the adult ceremony, leaving them no chance of returning as they came to slaughter humans just upon adulthood!
With the [Heartbeat System], Erha leapt about cheerfully, determining the location of the Meat-Winged Monsters through their heartbeat, then relying on control over the trees to directly bundle the Meat-Winged Monsters.
Erha also possessed Heavenly Connection level strength, and when facing these Meat-Winged Monsters, it was akin to beating up children.
Along the way, Xiang Beifei also reminded the hunters to transport the prey from the hunting caves back, lest it spoil, since the people of Changpan Valley still needed food and couldn't return empty-handed.
A large group of hunters quickly returned to Changpan Valley, the impressive team camouflaged themselves in the woods, looking spectacular.
As the clan leader of Changpan Valley, Jiang Feng, traditionally did not participate in the hunt during Meng Dong.
This season was when the underworld spirits roamed, and if all men of Changpan Valley went out, their strength would be dispersed. If ambushed, the loss would be severe, so a portion of young men were left to protect Changpan Valley.
At this time, seeing a large group of hunters suddenly pouring in from the entrance, Jiang Feng was a bit surprised and quickly came down to open the door, but at a glance he saw the underworld spirits trapped in the cages, and his expression changed slightly!
"What is going on with these underworld spirits?" Jiang Feng cautiously drew his spear, pointing it straight at the two underworld spirits in the cages.
"We encountered the underworld spirits, this is no small matter! It's no small matter indeed!" Uncle Liang stepped forward quickly as an elder and said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's heart sank, and he asked seriously: "Uncle Liang, what happened? Did you encounter an attack from the underworld spirits? Did anything happen to anyone?"
Every year during the Meng Dong hunt, it was expected that hunters would face incidents to obtain sufficient food; this was unavoidable. Though unwilling to hear such bad news, Jiang Feng still needed to understand it to arrange for the aftermath.
"No, no one should have been harmed—but we did encounter the underworld spirits! However, all the underworld spirits were killed by us!" Uncle Liang angrily said.
"You killed the underworld spirits, that's a good thing! But Uncle Liang, why do you look so angry?" Jiang Feng asked puzzledly.
"Of course, I'm angry! The truth! The truth! We cannot continue being deceived by those hypocritical and disgusting divine envoys! We must let everyone in Changpan Valley know the ugly truth about the Moon God!" Uncle Liang said angrily, spitting as he talked.
Jiang Feng was greatly shocked, thinking Uncle Liang was losing his mind, actually saying words that blasphemed the Divine Lord, quickly reminded him: "Uncle Liang, are you okay? Did you get sunstroke? You mustn't speak nonsense!"
"Not sunstroke! I am determined to reveal the truth today, never to coexist with those winged birdmen!"
Uncle Liang grew more and more angry the more he thought, for his son also lost his life to an underworld spirit back in the day, getting angrier the more he thought. In fury, he angrily pulled out the smoking pipe from his waist and struck it at the underworld spirits in the wooden cage. He treated the heads of the Meat-Winged Monsters like wooden fish, knocking heavily several times, making a "bang bang bang" sound.
Kari and Rock were already fuming with rage, having never suffered such humiliation. Right then they wished to tear the audacious old man into pieces, but they couldn't move at all, utterly subdued by Xiang Beifei, helplessly allowing Uncle Liang to knock their heads with the pipe.
Uncle Liang, not satisfied after knocking, spat heavily!
Jiang Feng hastily advised: "Uncle Liang, I know your son once fell to the underworld spirits... but let's not act impulsively now, let's clarify what's really happening here."
"These underworld spirits are actually the Moon God we worship! They're cruel liars, playing us around like fools!" Uncle Liang pointed at the Meat-Winged Monsters as he spoke.
Now, those unaware, including Jiang Feng, grew uncertain, for in their view, the Moon God was a sacred, inviolable deity, a pure and kind existence, how could it be associated with the likes of underworld spirits?
This was a grave slander indeed!
"Jiang Dongliang, what nonsense are you spouting! If you dare to blaspheme the Divine Lord again, we'll have no choice but to treat you harshly! We'll drive you and people like Xiao Houzi out of the village!"
