Shao Xuan's words made the people of several tribes go wild with joy. They came all the way to this dangerous place just to find the green-faced fanged beast. No matter what it was used for, they had to get what the slave masters were trying so hard to find.
When they saw the Yanjiao people catch one yesterday, many of them were jealous. Now, their chance was finally here!
Stretching their arms and legs, everyone listened carefully. They only heard the screams of people in the distance and the occasional roar of beasts. These were all beasts they had seen in this forest before. They weren't catching the target, and there were also the sounds of trees breaking. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"Listen to the sound of the wind. It sounds like a gust of wind. It's the roar of the green-faced fanged beast," Shao Xuan explained to everyone.
"No wonder. I was wondering why the wind was so loud, but it didn't blow." The Mang tribesmen smirked. After confirming that Shao Xuan wasn't lying, they all rubbed their palms and prepared for a big fight.
"Since there's so much prey, there's no need to focus on one place," Qiu Gu of the Eight Limbs tribe said.
"That's right. Let's rely on our own abilities," Mu You of the Longboat tribe agreed.
If they all huddled together, there might be fights. Therefore, the best way was to act separately. Each tribe would hunt on their own. Whatever they caught would belong to them, so as to avoid more disputes. Plus, when they were alone, they didn't have to worry about anything. They could do whatever they wanted.
The other tribes expressed their thoughts, while the Yanjiao people looked at Shao Xuan. They had to listen to Shao Xuan on this trip.
Shao Xuan gestured for them to calm down, then said to the happy tribes, "There is indeed a lot of prey, but that's not necessarily a good thing. At the same time, I have to remind everyone that the green-faced fanged beast isn't that easy to catch. I've already told everyone what to pay attention to. Be careful. Don't complain when you suffer heavy losses. "
"Don't worry, we won't blame you. On the contrary, we have to thank Elder Shao Xuan for reminding us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known where the prey was," Gu Zhi of the Feather tribe smiled.
They were now focused on how to catch the green-faced fanged beast. Although they listened to Shao Xuan's reminder, they didn't think it was that scary. Ever since they entered the Fearsome Beast Forest, they had encountered all kinds of beasts in the forest. The green-faced fanged beast that Shao Xuan caught didn't seem that strong.
He had finished what he wanted to say. Shao Xuan couldn't care less about what others thought of him.
All the tribes had already started to prepare. Although it was still night time, the enthusiasm to catch the green-faced fanged beasts was still high. Everyone held the Water Moon Stone and used the light to chop trees and weave vines. The Eight Limbs people had already started to weave spider silk.
The wind was getting closer.
Shao Xuan could clearly hear the shouts of the Rock Hill City people.
"We're almost at the foot of the mountain!" Shao Xuan said.
After hearing Shao Xuan say that the sound of the wind was the roar of the green-faced fanged beast, they could tell that it was the roar of the beast. They brought the tools they had prepared and rushed down the mountain.
After three breaths, there were only five people from Yanjiao and a few people from the Hui tribe left in front of the cave.
The Hui tribe's giant mountain eagle wasn't good at hunting at night. They didn't plan to summon it for now. Since there were many targets, they weren't in a hurry. It wouldn't be too late to summon it when the sun was about to rise. Besides, the Yanjiao people weren't in a hurry, so they didn't need to rush.
"Xuan, what do you plan to do?" Mai asked while holding the net.
"There are too many green-faced fanged beasts. They're chasing the people from Rock Hill City. This place is close to Rock Hill City, so there will definitely be a few coming up the mountain. Let's try to catch a few first. We don't need to watch the big group."
Shao Xuan checked the traps they set up on the mountain and made some changes. Then, he arranged the operation.
The grass that the green-faced fanged beasts liked to eat was hard to find here. It was too dark to search for it in the bushes. They didn't have a beast's sense of smell, so they had to find another way.
If they couldn't use grass as bait, then they had to use humans!
Luring prey into a trap was something that hunters often did. After Shao Xuan told the other four about his experience in catching green-faced fanged beasts, they started to act.
The green-faced fanged beasts rushed to the foot of the mountain. They didn't seem to have any intention of stopping as they chased after the people from Rock Hill City. However, some of the green-faced fanged beasts on the side of the team would pay attention to the movements around them.
Shao Xuan had warned the tribesmen that the green-faced fanged beasts could easily detect movements in their surroundings, so they had to be extra careful. It was best to wait for the beasts to leave before attacking. Otherwise, they might lead the beasts to their own mountains. That would help the people of Rock Hill City and help them avoid this crisis.
Although they had been told by Shao Xuan that there were many green-faced fanged beasts coming, the tribesmen still trembled when they saw them when they went down the mountain.
In the dark, they couldn't see what was running over there. They could only hear the sound of wind blowing past, like a constant gust of wind. The rustling of leaves covered the sound of the tribesmen's arrival. They hid in the bushes, branches and other places, quietly observing the situation.
Those green-faced fanged beasts were indeed running towards Rock Hill City. A few green-faced fanged beasts on the side of the team seemed to have noticed something and suddenly rushed out of the team towards them.
The nearest Eight Limbs tribesman cursed in his heart. He thought he was exposed, but when he saw that the green-faced fanged beast was only chasing after something that looked like a mouse, he sighed in relief.
However, he let out a sigh of relief too early. He only heard a bang, as if something had pierced into a tree trunk, followed by a crisp cracking sound.
The tree he was hiding in was knocked down.
Many of the green-faced fanged beasts looked at the fallen tree, but seeing that there was nothing interesting to vent their anger on, they continued to charge forward with the rest of the team.
The person who was hiding in the fallen tree didn't fall with the tree. His foot was hooked on a very thin wire, and his whole body seemed to be attached to the wire. If you didn't see him, you wouldn't have noticed that there was someone else there.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
A very soft sound was heard, but it was covered by the rustling of leaves.
A large net was quietly woven. It was made by five Eight Limbs tribesmen who were hiding in different places. At this moment, the net was silently closing in on the green-faced fanged beast that had left the team.
In the night, six nocturnal birds cooed and rested on a nearby tree. The green-faced fanged beasts didn't pay attention to them as they were flying in the sky. They couldn't do anything about it, nor were they interested.
Another cooing sound was heard, but it didn't come from the birds. It came from the forest not far away.
After hearing the sound, the six nocturnal birds flew over. Not long after, the six birds flew over again. However, it was different from before. Their claws were grabbing onto a vine. The six birds were grabbing onto the six corners of a net!
"Coo coo — coo!"
The sound from the forest was like a guide. The six birds holding onto the net flew towards another green-faced fanged beast that had left the group and was attacking the wild beasts in the bushes.
These six birds weren't really tamed. The Feather tribesmen used their tribe's secret technique to instruct them. The six birds couldn't carry out effective tasks on their own. They could only instruct them bit by bit through their voices, telling them what to do.
Other than the Eight Limbs tribe and the Feather tribe, the Thousand Masks tribe, the Mang tribe, and the Longboat tribe all used their own methods and techniques to attack the green-faced fanged beasts.
The green-faced fanged beasts' group had already passed by. Shao Xuan led the last few beasts to the mountain, and then separated them with a few others. They lured them one by one to the traps set up. Gu La and the others from the Hui tribe helped from the side.
If it was just one green-faced fanged beast, it would be fine. As long as they understood their temperament and behavior, the plan would succeed. If there were too many of them, there would be too many variables. Not only would the plan fail, but everyone would also be in danger.
A green-faced fanged beast that stepped into the trap struggled hard, trying to use its fangs to poke away all the vines around it. Shao Xuan and Gu La jumped down from the trees on both sides. They quickly went over and tied the beast up with vines.
The air around the beast's fangs vibrated at a strange frequency, making a whistling sound. It was howling, venting its anger. The hot air coming out of its nostrils was hotter than boiling water. Even though Shao Xuan and Gu La had already moved away, they could still clearly feel the rising temperature around them. The air around the green-faced fanged beast was like a runaway horse, jumping around without any pattern. It was not reliable to just tie it up, and no one knew how long it would last.
After tying it up, Shao Xuan took out a few polished bronze needles that were smeared with poison. He had already made these needles before he came here. He smeared some of the poison he collected from some plants in the forest and injected the green-faced fanged beast with a needle.
That kind of poison had the effect of making large beasts faint. Some beasts with poor resistance to poison might even die from eating that kind of plant. Shao Xuan did not know if this would work on the green-faced fanged beast, so he brought a few needles this time. If one didn't work, he injected another one. The last time he was looking for the green-faced fanged beast, he did not use this. This time, he planned to give it a try.
After injecting three needles, the green-faced fanged beast's movements slowed down. The frequency of its nostrils also decreased, and the air around it seemed to have stopped moving.
"Three to five needles, no more." Shao Xuan said as he looked at the green-faced fanged beast that was struggling slower and slower.
After that, Shao Xuan caught another green-faced fanged beast that fell into the trap. Before they took the bait, they might be very difficult to catch as they were fast and not easy to chase. However, once they stepped into the trap, they would be quickly tied up by the people lying in ambush. After three to five needles, they would be obedient.
