***************************

The Human-face Bird rushed to the place where it caught the little Two-legged Monster. Where are those people? Where are you at?

Yuan Meng, who was hiding in the branches and was keeping watch, looked up saw the bird face appearing, and immediately blew a loud whistle on his lips.

When the Human-face Bird heard the whistle, it aimed its eyes at the big tree, and soon found a Two-legged Monster hiding there.

But the canopy of the tree was very annoying and very large. The Two-legged Monster saw the bird was coming at him and he shrunk to the middle of the trunk, and so, when the Human-face Bird dove down, it failed to take him out of the branches.

A fierce whistle rang, and the ground on the upper end of a nearby hillock suddenly broke a hole, a head poked from it.

Yuan Zhan looked up at the Human-face Bird, and his face immediately became awkward. He turned back: "its Jiu Feng bird! It came again!"

Lie squeezed from the side and looked out, "Jiu Feng bird is The Mountain God of Tiangui Mountain and also its hunting ground. How can it still come here?"

"It seems that the meat of the little slave is delicious, and the God Mountain Bird remembered us." Yuan Zhan gloomily looked at the scene before him. He had only heard the name of the Human-face Bird but he has never seen it. He saw it for the first time two days ago when his the little slave was caught. His the anger and urgency at retrieving his slave exceeded his fear, and he even chased the God Mountain Bird for a long way.

When he observed the flock of sheep, he found his wooden spear. After he came back, he told Lie about the appearance of the bird and the shape of the Human-face Bird. After listening to it, Lie face was filled with fear and he immediately told him that the Human-face Bird is probably The Mountain God of Tiangui Mountain called Jiu Feng, a being that they absolutely cannot provoke.

"It is also the blessing of the child we got to see The Mountain God. We shouldn't go out. It will leave if it can't find any prey." Lie went back into the hole.

This hole was not a temporary built. The former tribal warriors often went to this piece of hunting lands, and, because there was no safe place to settle down, they simply dug a hole in the suitable hillock. The hole was not big, a mere eleven people would make it crowded, and they can't even lie down and sleep. They can only take turns standing.

The inside of the cave was also quite rough, the grass roots were everywhere on the walls and some roots distend from the ground.

But at least it can shelter them from the rain and the wind, and it is not easy for the carnivore to discover the cave opening.

Yesterday, it was raining heavily. Eleven people started to work together and managed to expand the hole for a little bit but didn't dare to dig further. They used to dig up the caves, so even if they were crowded and smaller, they also endured. After the cave was slightly enlarged, the ditches on both sides were dug deeper so that the infiltrating rainwater can flow out of the cave

Yuan Zhan stood in the cave and clenched the wooden spear. After he came back and told everyone that his little slave was caught by The Mountain God Jiu Feng, everyone did not have hope for Yan Mo's life. Their looks were numb, seemingly taking it for granted. Cao Ting and Yuan Meng looked a little sad but did not say that they wanted to save him.

Yuan Zhan knows that the reaction of the tribesmen and slaves death is normal, that is, since Yan Mo was taken away by The Mountain God Jiu Feng bird, everyone knows that he will not save him. The reason being, firstly, Tiangui Mountain is located in the southwest of the tribe, which is very far away, and no one has ever been there. Secondly, Lie orders meant no one will be going to be an opponent of The Mountain God Jiu Feng, even the 4th rank warrior like The Chief can't even last half a minute battling it.

Seeing The Mountain God, the only thing they can do is not to attack while passing time in hiding.

Yuan Zhan also understood these reasons, but this situation makes him very unwilling to sit calmly. He is eager to become stronger and eager to do something.

"Zhan!" Yuan Lie called him.

Yuan Zhan looked up.

"Don't think about your slave anymore. After you find the Salt Mountain tribe, you can take the salt and trade again. If you like The Salt Mountain People, then you can exchange for another slave from The Zhi Tribe." Yuan Lie also liked the Salt Mountain priest disciple. He was a very good child, but after all, he is from another tribe and a slave. It meant nothing if he is lost. They still have a mission of finding salt.

Yuan Zhan also told himself this but... the slave was right in front of him when the latter was robbed from his hands. This made him feel ashamed and unwilling to swallow his pride, as well as angry at his incompetence. It made him unable to let it go, at least not now.

"Zhan, the stone in the place you said has a salty taste?" Shan squeezed out of the hole because he needed to breathe. It is dawn, and they were preparing to go to the place where Zhan had said.

The day before yesterday, because the Stingers tribe found them, they had a fight with the Stingers tribe and did not manage to go. Yesterday, it rained again so they still didn't go and look for it. Lie thought that today they will be able to go, but The Mountain God Jiu Feng bird actually came out again. Now they can't go out, they can only wait for the other party (bird) to leave.

Yuan Zhan nodded. "Yes, I am pissed off by it. If it was not a big stone, I would have come back with it and would have given it to you so you can taste it."

Going by what Zhan said, it must be a big stone, a very big stone. The size of several warriors standing together, leaving an impression on the terrain. As soon as Yuan Zhan said this, the scene of the huge rock wall standing on the ground immediately and simultaneously floated in their brain.

"Ah-!" Meng was imitating the clear and urgent whistle of the birds.

Yuan Zhan immediately looked out of the cave.

"It's bad! Meng, don’t get down from the tree!" Yuan Zhan stood in the cave opening and shouted.

The color on Yuan Meng face changed, and he immediately squeezed in the canopy and looked around.

Outside the cave on the Water God Tree, there was no one else hovering other than the Human-face Bird. Jiu Feng refused to leave and was circling the Water God Tree. Just now it found a gap, and with a little push, its claws broke the branches that are there.

The branches were broken and the gap on the canopy grew larger.

This terrible big bird would unexpectedly be so smart. No wonder Yuan Lie said that this bird is a Mountain God that should not be provoke, wow, it wanted to catch him!

Anyone who saw such a huge and strangely murderous bird at a close distance will feel dread, this warrior is no exception, he began to move his body and wanted to escape Jiu Feng.

"Meng, don’t move!" Yuan Lie’s face dramatically changed. The Mountain God was so smart that it knew that it could use its claws to break the branches that stood in the way.

However, it is was even more dangerous to get down from the tree. From the tree to the cave is a distance that can't be reached by a flying spear. Although the cave hole was close to the Water God Tree, Meng’s running speed would not match up with the legendary Mountain God Jiu Feng.

"It's too dangerous for Meng. We have to think of a way to scare the face bird away!" Yuan Zhan said.

Yuan Lie suddenly turned back, "Bing, give your slave to me. I will pay you back." Bing did not say anything. He got up, grabbed Yang Wei and dragged him to the hole.

Yang Wei was dragged and was not given the time to take his walking stick. His injured foot was dragged on the ground, his heart aching after the stress.

However, Yang Wei did not beg for mercy because he knew that it was useless to ask for mercy.

The warriors are like this. When they are in danger because they are unable to fight the beasts, they will throw out the slaves as fresh meat. If there were no slaves, then the oldest and weakest warriors will be thrown out first.

When The Mountain God Jiu Feng appeared outside the cave, it can be said that all the slaves in the cave have already prepared themselves for the possibility of being the bird’s appetizers.

Yang Wei was pushed out.

Because his legs were inconvenient and the force of pushing back is too big, Yang Wei was pushed out and rolled on the ground for a few laps before stopping.

The Human-face Bird, known as Jiu Feng, noticed The Two-legged Monster that suddenly rolled out from a hole.

Jiu Feng flew at it, the branches were too troublesome and it was ready to go.

Yang Wei propped up his upper body. He wanted to stand up and to escape but almost fell due to fear and panic. In the end, he could only walk a few steps on his leg while looking desperately at the Human-face Bird that was rushing toward him.

"Hey-!" That Two-legged Monster’s leg is broken? No! I want another one! Jiu Feng screamed his threat at the hole. 

(My precious son is too cute for words!!🥰🥰)

"Why doesn't it take Yang Wei?" Lie’s big eyes couldn't believe it.

Yuan Zhan casually said: "It is a Mountain God, and thinks Yang Wei is probably not worth it."

Everyone in the cave actually thinks that Yuan Zhan is right. Also, although Yan Mo is a slave, he is a Disciple of the Salt Mountain Priest before he became a slave so his worth is a bit higher than that of a warrior.

"I will go." Cao Ting took the initiative to stand up.

Xia Fei and Wen Shang did not speak, but anyone could still see that they were relieved. No one wanted to die. For Cao Ting’s initiative of sacrificing herself, they can only be grateful.

Yuan Diao grabbed her hand but he soon slowly released.

Yuan Lie nodded to Cao Ting and said solemnly: “The tribe’s spirit is with you."

Cao Ting walked out of the cave with a wooden stick and approached Yang Wei.

When Cao Ting was going out, Yuan Zhan grabbed the wooden spear and sneakily walked out of the hole. The other warriors quickly squeezed out of the hole.

Jiu Feng stared at the wooden stick in Cao Ting. It first determined that this thing did not pose any threat to him before staring at Cao Ting’s dragging foot.

"Hey-!" Jiu Feng was furious. How come that one has a bad leg too! It can't walk so how can it play with the little Two-legged Monster back at the nest! 

Yuan Zhan, who swept out of the hole, looked at Jiu Feng. He subconsciously determined that when people, who came out of the cave, have bad legs, Jiu Feng wings will flap and its head will turned to Yuan Meng who was stuck within the tree.

Yuan Meng was stuck on the tree, and he sobbed while hugging the tree trunk, he cried: God, how come you are back here!

The warriors who saw this scene at the entrance were a bit sluggish.

How come is this Mountain God so picky? Do you want a slave like Yao Mo? 

Yuan Zhan clenched the wooden spear, his eyes were dark and gray, but he fortunately wasn't seen.

However, he still has a chance.

Jiu Feng stared at Meng hiding in the Water God Tree. Each time Jiu Feng swoops down, it removed a lot of leaves.

Hanging pitifully on the Water God Tree, Meng looked so innocent, the precious God Tree Water leaves fell like rain.

Grabbing the wooden spear Yuan Zhan decided to fight.

Lie, who was in the cave, also jumped out. His younger brother was on the tree and was being targeted by the flying bird. The slaves were useless so he wanted to use himself inexchange for his brother.

But before everyone reacted, Yuan Zhan moved.

He has been staring at the big bird for a long time, and he does not believe that this bird cannot really be taken down by the wooden spear!

Just as Jiu Feng saw that Yuan Meng body had been exposed and his claws stretched out to catch him, a wooden spear was thrown out. When Jiu Feng flashed by, Yuan Zhan's wooden spear shot!

"Ah——!" when Yuan Zhan threw the wooden spear, he pulled all of his body’s muscles in that one throw.

Jiu Feng turned and saw that the spear was about to hit its body. Just as the piercing point came near, Jiu Feng opened its huge and the hard beak and blew out a sharp wind.

The wind blade was like a flying arrow and it collided with the flying spear. The flying spear deviated from the original track and fell to the far side, near Jiu Feng’s tail.

Yuan Lie and Yuan Zhan, as well as the other warriors and slaves who saw this scene, not one of them can understand and explain why the wooden spear, which was flying well, suddenly fell from the sky. They only saw that when the wooden spear was about to hit The Mountain God Jiu Feng, the Mountain God Bird turned its head and opened its mouth, then the wooden spear fell away.

Yang Wei collapsed on the spot and was unable to support his body. 

Cao Ting also stumbled and knelt on the ground to beg for the compassion from The Mountain God. 

Holding the trunk, Yuan Meng stared at the big bird that hovered in the sky. Really God...he saw God! He could die without regrets! 

Suddenly Yuan Meng jumped off the Water God Tree, ran to the open space, and shouted at Jiu Feng in the sky while jumping around: “God, come and catch me! Let go of my people!"

How can Yuan Lie let his brother be grabbed and be made into food? He rushed over and slammed Yuan Meng’s foot. He stood and raised the wooden spear. "Catch me, I am here!" He said and waved the wooden spear against Jiu Feng.

Jiu Feng did not look at him, he looked at the Two-legged Monster that almost threatened him with the wooden spear.

This Two-legged Monster seems to smell a bit familiar. Although these Two-legged Monsters are almost the same, Jiu Feng’s memory not only memorizes by appearance but also by the sound that the Two-legged Monster makes and by the smell from his sweaty body. The last time it caught that small Two-legged Monster, the little Two-legged Monster smelled the same as the big Two-legged Monster who used a wooden spear to attack him.

It seems that this Two-legged Monster should be a friend of the little Two-legged Monster, just like him!
