Chapter 551 (2/2)

The tribesmen that went downhill were extra careful with their actions as Shao Xuan had told them the green face gang beasts are highly sensitive to any motion. The tribesmen planned to wait until the majority of the beasts were gone and target the beasts that strayed from the group.

Although they knew there were a lot of beasts, seeing it for themselves was another experience.

It was hard to see the beasts running in the darkness. They could only hear the huffing passing by like the wind, reminiscent of a continuous gale. The rustles of leaves hid the sound the tribesmen made as they hid between the grass and branches. They quietly paid attention to what was happening around them.

Sure enough, a few beasts seemed to notice something and headed towards the tribesmen.

A nearby warrior from the Eight Limbs tribe cursed in his mind, he thought he was exposed but he was safe for now as the beast was chasing after a mouse.

However, that relief came too soon. With a loud crack, the tree he was hiding in had fallen from the impact of something hitting it.

A lot of the beasts noticed the fallen tree but it did not intrigue them enough to go closer to check it out. Hence, they followed the large ground and charged forward.

The man that was hiding in the tree did not follow the tree to the ground. Instead, he seemed to be suspended mid-air. His foot was tied up to a vine that kept him from falling.

Whoosh--

Soft noises were covered by the rustling leaves.

A large net was formed by the five hidden Eight Limb tribe members. The net was currently flying towards the green face fang beast that left the large group in silence.

Six nocturnal birds came while cawing and rested on a tree nearby. The running beast did not pay attention to them.

Except the caws didn’t come from the birds, it came from somewhere not far from them.

As soon as the bird heard the noise, they got into formation. Each bird held a vine from in their claws, throwing and catching the vines among each other. They were forming a net!

“Caw caw!”

An instruction was sent out. The six birds moved as a unit towards the green-faced fanged beast.

These six birds weren’t completely domesticated. They were used to help members of the Feather tribe through this secret technique that gave them instructions telling them exactly what to do.

Other than the Eight Limb tribe and Feather tribe, the other tribes were busy catching the beasts using their own techniques.

The large group of beasts passed Shao Xuan and his team. Shao Xuan led the rest to join the group up the mountain while the rest led a few beasts to where the traps were with the help from Gu La and some other members of the Hui tribe.

It was much easier to handle the beast one by one. They could observe its personality and tailor a plan specifically for it. It was much harder to do this with a few beasts at the same time.

A green-faced fanged beast fell into a trap. It struggled hard to get rid of the vines around it. Shao Xuan and Gu La rushed towards it to tie the nearly free beast.

The air exhaled out of the tied up beast had vibrated the air around it with an odd frequency. It howled. Steam coming out from its nostrils had a higher temperature than boiling water. Although Shao Xuan and Gu La had backed off, they could still feel the heat coming from it.

After tying it up, Shao Xuan took out some needles filled with poison. He got the poison from a tree in the forest. He used one of the needles to inject it into the beast.

The poison could cause some larger animals to faint and even cause death for some less poison-resilient animals. Shao Xuan wasn’t sure whether the poison would work on the green face fang beast, he didn’t try it on the previous beast they got.

After three injections, the struggling from the beast had significantly subdued. Its breathing rate was much slower too.

“Three to five injections, no more,” said Shao Xuan.
