Jiang Dahe looked at the Meat-Winged Monster with a mix of shock and anger, desperately trying to pull out the spear, but as soon as he did, blood spilled from the wound, causing him to sweat coldly from the pain.
Their spear tips were coated with neurotoxins extracted from desolate beasts to combat them, but these toxins also had a significant impact on themselves. He felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at his leg, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
In panic, Jiang Dahe picked up the bow and arrows from the ground and shot at the Meat-Winged Monster. However, the monster didn’t dodge, just flicking its meat wings to deflect the arrow.
"Is that all you’ve got? This coming-of-age ceremony is way too easy." The Meat-Winged Monster sneered at Jiang Dahe, unfazed by any of his attacks.
Jiang Dahe was engulfed in deep despair, watching helplessly as the Meat-Winged Monster walked up to him, reached out, grabbed the spear stuck in his leg, and then yanked it out!
Jiang Dahe clutched his thigh in pain, sweat streaming down from the agony. His entire body faltered, trying to run but his leg wouldn’t respond. He could only desperately grab stones on the ground, dragging his crippled leg backward.
"The funeral of adulthood from the underworld requires your heart to be a part of it. Death is not your end; you members of the Human Race can continue being the walking dead in the underworld! Don’t worry; death is quite simple for you."
The Meat-Winged Monster sneered maliciously, thrusting the spear toward Jiang Dahe!
Jiang Dahe watched in horror as the blood-stained spear aimed for his chest, realizing he probably wouldn’t survive this ordeal.
But just then, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air. An arrow pierced through the leaves like lightning, shooting swiftly and nailing itself into the Meat-Winged Monster’s forehead.
The powerful force flung the Meat-Winged Monster’s body, sending it tumbling sideways with its head pinned to the ground!
The sinister smile was still plastered on the Meat-Winged Monster’s face, but its eyes had already stopped moving.
Jiang Dahe had resigned to his fate but was stunned to see the Meat-Winged Monster about to kill him get nailed to the ground by an arrow through its forehead!
He quickly turned his head to see who had shot the arrow but was dumbstruck when he saw the shooter!
"Indeed, death is quite simple for you."
Xiang Beifei stood on a rock not far behind Jiang Dahe, apathetically looking at the dead Meat-Winged Monster.
Jiang Dahe gasped in shock!
How could it be Xiao Houzi!
Jiang Dahe was completely shocked; in the morning before heading out to hunt, he held deep resentment toward Xiao Houzi, who had lost the moonprint, and considered him a soon-to-be fallen underworld evil spirit, desecrating the Divine Lord and deserving to be banished from the village.
Who would have thought that in the critical moment, it was Xiao Houzi who saved him!
At this moment, Jiang Dahe’s heart surged with turmoil, momentarily at a loss for words, because the one who killed the underworld evil spirit was the same Xiao Houzi he had viewed as a soon-to-be fallen underworld evil spirit!
Xiang Beifei merely glanced at Jiang Dahe without much concern and then shifted his gaze to the other two Meat-Winged Monsters on the tree branch!
The two Meat-Winged Monsters were visibly taken aback, seeing Xiang Beifei shoot one of their companions dead with an arrow!
"This lowly livestock actually killed Lun!"
They exchanged glances, their ugly faces furrowing. Lun was the Meat-Winged Monster that Xiang Beifei had shot. Such a turn of events was something these two monsters hadn’t anticipated.
However, they seemed rather composed, not grieving over their companion’s death. They had been forewarned by Kari, that the Human Race still had the power to resist them.
In their eyes, being killed by these Human Race livestock only proved that Lun wasn’t worthy of being a servant of the underworld!
Meanwhile, Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan, the brothers, rushed in from behind, accompanied by others wielding bows and arrows, aiming at the remaining Meat-Winged Monsters.
Jiang Shan stepped forward and helped Jiang Dahe up.
Seeing Jiang Shan arrive, Jiang Dahe felt an overwhelming sense of shame. Who would have thought his savior would be the very father and son he had excluded earlier that morning?
Other hunters quickly came over, helping Jiang Dahe to a rock at the back, taking out some hemostatic herbs they carried and doing some quick bandaging. Meanwhile, Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan kept vigilant against the two Meat-Winged Monsters still observing the scene.
"Hehe, it seems quite a few decent offerings have arrived, Chi Mu, we are quite lucky."
"They look good, more options for selection. Fei Ding, which one do you choose?"
The Meat-Winged Monster named Fei Ding scanned Jiang Shan, Jiang Chuan, and others with its pointed triangular eyes, and then landed its gaze on Xiang Beifei, the one who shot the arrow, saying gleefully, "That young man! I like challenges! He looks strong!"
"Haha, Fei Ding, I’m afraid you can’t handle him. Better let me have this offering!"
The Meat-Winged Monster known as Chi Mu seemed also interested in Xiang Beifei, recognizing the prowess of someone who could take down Lun with just one arrow. For them, the stronger the offering, the more potent the underworld power they could harness in the future.
