Hou Yi lived up to his name; shooting down the Golden Crows was like mowing grass.
In a short time, he had already killed two Golden Crows.
The remaining Golden Crows were terrified and bewildered. But Hou Yi didn't care; he continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
“Boom, boom......”
The arrows flew out, instantly tearing through the Golden Crows' bodies. Countless Golden Crow feathers and flesh exploded and scattered everywhere. Another Golden Crow fell.
Hou Yi watched this scene without any change in expression. He continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows, vowing to kill all of the Golden Crows.
“Escape! Brothers, run! Quickly send a message to our father!” Ten Golden Crows had fallen in a short time, leaving only seven. Fear gripped their hearts; they knew they were no match for Hou Yi. In a panic, they fled, searching for their father at the same time.
Immediately, the seven young Golden Crows fled in different directions. They ultimately escaped towards the west.
Hou Yi sneered: “Humph... You want to escape? Dream on!”
He immediately gave chase, determined to kill all ten Golden Crows.
...
Soon, the Golden Crows and Hou Yi's figure disappeared from Xuan Xiao's sight.
“This is Hou Yi, so powerful. He shoots down Golden Crows, and the Golden Crows are helpless. Amazing...” Xuan Xiao couldn’t help but praise him with admiration and excitement. There was also a hint of a smile on his face: “Haha..... The Golden Crows are dead, what a relief. It’s a pity that it wasn’t us humans who killed them, it would have been even more satisfying.”
The hatred between humans and the demon race was deeply rooted, a feud that would only end with their extermination. Seeing the children of Di Jun, the demon emperor, being shot down by the Witch Clan, they naturally felt a sense of satisfaction.
Not only Xuan Xiao, but all the people, all of humanity, felt the same. Many of them cheered.
Xuan Xiao smiled softly, then calmed down; “People, the Golden Crows have fallen and escaped, and the Witch Clan has left. We should also rebuild our home.”
Well, this sudden disaster, while it brought many benefits to the Tian Xing tribe, also brought much misfortune to the people.
The benefits were that many tribesmen had experienced the disaster, and they had all made up for their lack of combat experience, their cultivation levels improving significantly. Secondly, there were the remains of Kuafu and his staff, which fell here.
The disaster was that the tribe was destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. Fortunately, no members of the Tian Xing tribe died in this disaster, a silver lining in the midst of misfortune.
Hearing Xuan Xiao's words, the tribespeople cheered and began to rebuild their new homes.
But at this moment, the Qi Yun bead in Xuan Xiao’s mind pulsated, and the Qi Yun gathered within it, swirling like a sea of clouds, making Xuan Xiao feel a sense of impending opportunity.
Xuan Xiao was taken aback, but he firmly believed in the changes of the Qi Yun bead, and began to search for the opportunity. Just then, flames descended from the sky.
“Husband, this is...” Yun Xiao also looked up at the sky, realizing something was wrong.
Xuan Xiao, burning his Qi Yun, his eyes filled with Dao rhymes, saw through the illusion: “Golden Crow flesh!”
Yes, it was Golden Crow flesh. The two Golden Crows shot down by Hou Yi had their bodies shattered, their flesh scattered everywhere. Some of it, protected by the Saint’s left-behind, had fallen to the shores of the East Sea.
Some of it had landed near the Tian Xing tribe. They saw the Golden Crow flesh, like small suns, falling to the earth, igniting flames, forming a sea of fire.
But for some unknown reason, the spreading sea of fire suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the end, only golden flames intertwined with the Golden Crow flesh remained, slowly burning, without danger.
“This...” Xuan Xiao was curious, looking at the sky, remembering the changes over the years. He had a faint guess: “Could it be that the Saint’s left-behind has transformed the scorching Golden Crow flesh into something safe, like human campfires? But if so, why wasn’t the previous tsunami, like rain from falling mountains, stopped?”
Xuan Xiao was puzzled, but seeing the changes in the Golden Crow flesh, he could only come up with this guess.
Yun Xiao and the others were equally confused, and they had similar guesses to Xuan Xiao.
But no matter what, the Golden Crow flesh had become harmless, which meant it was an opportunity. Xuan Xiao walked toward the burning Golden Crow flesh: “No matter what, the Golden Crow flesh has fallen to our Tian Xing tribe, it belongs to our tribe. Quickly collect it, maybe our tribe will be able to taste Golden Crow meat in the future.”
Well, seeing the Golden Crow flesh, Xuan Xiao’s first thought was to eat it. After all, Golden Crows were rare and precious, who knew what their flesh tasted like. Coupled with humanity’s hatred for the demon race, being able to eat Golden Crows would definitely be satisfying.
Hearing this, the tribespeople cheered and, following Xuan Xiao’s orders, began to find things to collect the Golden Crow flesh.
Having done this, Xuan Xiao and Yun Xiao walked together towards the tribe.
........
A short while later, Xuan Xiao had calmed the tribespeople, and he looked at the devastated tribal lands.
After some thought, Xuan Xiao made a decision: “Although the disaster has passed and we have gained much, to be safe, we must accelerate the repair of our tribal lands and our shelters. At the same time, we must gather supplies. In particular, we must focus on gathering food!”
“Xuan Zhou, you take some tribesmen and go check the hunting grounds to see what’s happening with the game. Xuan Ye, you lead the other tribesmen to collect the sea creatures that came with the tsunami and the water droplets. Also, search the island fragments for resources.”
Xuan Zhou and Xuan Ye nodded in agreement, taking their tribesmen and heading out. Xuan Xiao suddenly felt a sense of worry. This wasn’t just a whim.
In this disaster, the Tian Xing tribe suffered little damage. But the beasts scattered throughout the mountain ranges weren’t so lucky. Many were killed in the disaster, and many fled. Also, many fruit trees were toppled.
In short, the tribe’s usual sources of food were suddenly much fewer. This made Xuan Xiao worry about food shortages. Of course, with the Life Cave Heaven as a logistics base, there wasn’t much to worry about. But Xuan Xiao didn’t want to expose the Life Cave Heaven unless it was absolutely necessary.
Soon, Xuan Zhou came back with news about the hunting grounds. The many beasts that had been there were nowhere to be found. Xuan Ye brought good news, however, that the disaster had swept away many sea creatures, scattering them along the shores of the East Sea, making it easy to collect them.
These sea creatures were unlucky. They had lived peacefully in the East Sea, only to encounter the battle between the Golden Crows and Kuafu. The aftermath of the battle had torn apart the sea, creating a gigantic tsunami that swept them towards the land, leaving them scattered along the shores of the East Sea.
Many sea creatures had perished when they were caught in the tsunami, so now they were all corpses. However, it was well-known that most sea creatures today were descendants of the Scale Armor race. They all possessed some amount of Scale Armor bloodline and some cultivation. Therefore, even their corpses, even if they had been dead for many years, still hadn’t rotted, making them a good resource.
The Tian Xing tribe’s people quickly gathered these sea creatures. Of course, there were also a few sea creatures that had miraculously survived, needing to be hunted.
