When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 848 615: Singular or Plural? (4000 words)
"No way, I laid eyes on him first, I want to toy with him thoroughly and make him my sacrifice!" Fei Ding disagreed, and looked at Xiang Beifei with a sinister grin, having already considered Xiang Beifei as his prey.
Chi Mu was not willing to give up either, he said, "How about we have a competition, like the hunting contest during Huagangzi and Zhen Nai's coming of age ceremony last year? We can break the bones of this human one by one until he bleeds to death."
The meat-winged monsters are extremely cruel, when they hunt humans, they don't just kill them simply. Sometimes, they even hold brutal competitions, devising various ways to torture these hunters of the Human Race to death!
Since a meat-winged monster can only kill one sacrifice, in order to indulge themselves, they use all sorts of cruel methods to kill their chosen sacrifice—cutting tendons, breaking bones, chopping off hands and feet to estimate death time, cutting major arteries for blood volume prediction, opening the chest to gamble on heart size...
The cruel killing methods are countless, the humans selected as sacrifices die tragically every year! But for the meat-winged monsters, killing is a source of joy and they revel in it.
"Great! I like this competition! I've always wanted to learn their coming-of-age methods. I remember humans have a total of 206 bones. We'll break his bones one by one, and see on which number he dies. If it's odd, the sacrifice is yours, if even, the sacrifice is mine?"
Fei Ding's eyes lit up with fervor.
"Agreed!"
Chi Mu laughed wickedly and said to Xiang Beifei, "Originally, you weren't necessarily our target, but you shouldn't try to be a hero. Remember, we are late-stage Meridian Opening strength, and you, this humble livestock, are overestimating yourself! It's like striking a stone with an egg provoking us..."
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, Xiang Beifei swiftly released an arrow, which turned into a blurred phantom, instantly reaching its target and hitting the horn on top of the meat-winged monster's head, breaking off its hard horn!
"Ah!"
Chi Mu screamed in disbelief as he touched his broken horn, from which yellowish blood spurted like a fountain, drenching his face.
"Ah! You bastard! For a humble livestock, you dare..."
Whoosh!
Xiang Beifei quickly nocked another arrow, swiftly releasing it, hitting Chi Mu's left wing joint accurately!
Crack!
Chi Mu's left wing was directly shot off!
"Ah..."
Chi Mu screamed again, as he originally had two wings, but could never have imagined Xiang Beifei would shoot off his left wing so directly!
This was intolerable for him, and he let out a piercing screech, his body instantly jumping high in a rage despite missing one wing.
"You human livestock, today I'll tear you limb from limb and make you understand the gap between us..."
Whoosh!
Xiang Beifei released another arrow!
Crack!
Chi Mu's right meat wing was also shot off, his body, which was initially leaping in the air, tilted instantly, crashing down to the ground.
"Ah... How... how can you..."
Chi Mu screamed, having lost both wings and his horn; this was a tremendous humiliation for him!
The previously fanatical Fei Ding was stunned!
He never expected Xiang Beifei to shoot three successive arrows, reducing Chi Mu to such a miserable state. This superb archery terrified him! It was different from the ambush that took Lun's life earlier—this time, it was in front of them!
These two newly adult meat-winged monsters were oblivious to the world and were arrogant with their Meridian Opening period strength, likely never dreaming of what kind of existence they had provoked in Xiang Beifei!
He was someone who could kill even the late-stage Flaming Six Wings of the Heavenly Connection!
For someone in the Meridian Opening period, it's merely child's play.
"Third arrow, meat-winged monster, can you guess, how many arrows will it take for me to kill you? Odd, or even?"
Xiang Beifei drew another arrow, aimed at Chi Mu, and asked very calmly.
"You... you..."
These words were the greatest insult to Chi Mu, who at first was betting with Fei Ding on how many bones of Xiang Beifei would break to cause his death, but now the one being questioned was Chi Mu itself!
Meanwhile, on the human side, all hunters were awed by Xiang Beifei's terrifying archery skills, especially Jiang Dahe, who was even more shocked after witnessing Xiao Houzi's incredible archery!
"Lowly humans, you deserve to die!"
Chi Mu shouted furiously, unwilling to be humiliated like this. He was a noble Moon God, yet to be toyed with by livestock raised in Changpan Valley was unbearable!
Swish!
A burst of yellow light exploded from Chi Mu's body, and he became extremely frenzied, his power continuously surging as he charged rapidly toward Xiang Beifei!
Swoosh!
Xiang Beifei fired the fourth arrow, which pierced through Chi Mu's left thigh. The immense force lifted Chi Mu off the ground, pinning his thigh firmly to it!
"Now it's an even number!" Xiang Beifei declared.
"Ah!"
Chi Mu screamed again, nearly collapsing from the immense pain. He attempted to pull out the arrow, but found that the arrow pinning his thigh was impossible to remove.
Swoosh!
Xiang Beifei shot another arrow, which accurately pierced Chi Mu's right arm as he tried to pull out the other arrow, pinning it to his left leg and creating another bloody hole!
"It's become an odd number again."
Xiang Beifei strung his bow again, staring at the Meat-Winged Monster, and said, "I'll give you a chance to choose how you die. Do you think you'll die on an odd count or an even count?"
Chi Mu was completely crushed, now feeling the fear just like Jiang Dahe did when pinned by the spear. Terror filled his eyes, realizing he had provoked someone he shouldn't have!
"Lowly human livestock, you deserve to die! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!" Chi Mu screamed madly. Within his race, torturing humans to death was an honor, but now, it was he who was being tortured!
Swoosh!
Xiang Beifei's arrow struck Chi Mu precisely in the center of his forehead, abruptly stopping his screams!
His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief and resentment, dying at the hands of humans was his greatest shame!
"Turns out it's an even count death."
Xiang Beifei muttered to himself and then shifted his gaze to Fei Ding.
Fei Ding, meeting Xiang Beifei's eyes, couldn't help but shiver!
He was panicking now, realizing that he and Chi Mu were evenly matched in strength. With Chi Mu being killed by Xiang Beifei with six arrows, he knew he had no chance of winning. Since when did the Human Race have such a powerful individual?
"Well shot! That's exactly how to fight back! Last year, I watched helplessly as Da Zhuang's skull was split by these Yellow Spring evil spirits. They were so cruel, even took his brain... "
Jiang Chuan, choked with emotion, could hardly continue. Da Zhuang was his childhood friend, who during Meng Dong's hunt last year, stayed behind to protect the other hunters, ultimately tortured to death by the Meat-Winged Monster in a cruel manner.
Jiang Chuan witnessed Da Zhuang's death, but being severely injured, could prevent nothing, carrying immense guilt. Until now, the memory remained vivid.
Seeing Xiao Houzi kill the Meat-Winged Monster, emulating their own cruel methods, was incredibly satisfying!
"Exactly, these Yellow Spring evil spirits deserve to be diced into a thousand pieces!"
Many hunters hated the Yellow Spring evil spirits so much they were gnashing their teeth. They all knew someone who had been brutally murdered by the Yellow Spring evil spirits and held deep hatred, and Xiao Houzi undoubtedly let them vent their anger greatly!
Just then, several whistling sounds suddenly came from the woods, as seven or eight yellow figures agilely flashed and jumped amongst the trees, landing around Fei Ding within mere breaths.
"What's going on? Fei Ding, I think I heard Chi Mu's screams."
The ones who arrived were other Meat-Winged Monsters, counting a total of eight! These Meat-Winged Monsters were initially hunting other hunters but diverted upon hearing the screams from here.
"You've come at the right time! That despicable livestock killed Lun and Chi Mu, we must not let him go!"
Seeing fellow Meat-Winged Monsters arrive, Fei Ding immediately gained confidence, looking at Xiang Beifei with more venomous eyes. With eight more companions, dealing with Xiang Beifei was more than feasible!
