Chapter 27: Prey
"Mount Yao Guang, its sunny side rich in jade, its shady side abundant in gold. There dwells a beast, resembling a human with a bristly back, dwelling in caves and hibernating in winter. It is called Huahuai, and its sound is like chopping wood. If it appears, the county will face great troubles.
Back in the day, the Huahuai clan, obeying the command of the Immortal Venerable, charged into battle, breaking through formations and taking the lead, made significant contributions to the Immortal Palace's conquest of the world, earning them the title of Commander General.
However, during the Demon Clan's rebellion, they followed the demon king Meng Zhang in revolt. The Emperor, mindful of the Huahuai Divine Monarch's past achievements, couldn't bear to annihilate their clan, thus sealed their Divine Soul and suppressed the demon here.
If the Prince is interested, you can reclaim some of the pure-blooded ones, take them out for breeding; whether as mounts or war beasts, they are rare Ancient Strange Species, unmatched by ordinary Demon Clan."
As the hounds bayed and the eagles screeched, the pack of golden eagles spread out a Heaven and Earth Net, either whipping with Wind Blades or intimidating with barking, driving the mass of Huahuai bears into a frenzy, firmly encircling over a hundred giant bears in the hunting ground.
The Eagle Guards, holding Divine Arm Bows, had long been armored and armed, standing guard in all directions like deities. With eagle eyes scanning, any beasts attempting to break out or rebelliously charge were instantly targeted with an arrow.
Golden arrows like shuttles, Divine Light like electricity, swift as light and as forceful as thunder, one strike exploded a giant bear's head, shattering it to pieces! Instantly terrifying the pack of beasts into scattering with no will left to resist.
On a distant hill, the Prince looked down at the myriad beasts running, roaring, and howling beneath, like an army charging on the hunting ground, listening to the Qilin beneath him, explaining in a gentle, feminine voice. Behind and beside him were tributes riding tigers, forming a guard in a pincer shape. There were concubines riding Divine Steeds on either side as trusted aides, steady as mountains despite the thunderous roars of over a hundred giant bear beasts howling and biting not far in front of them.
"Huahuai..."
Surveying these Ancient Giant Beasts, the Prince yawned in boredom,
"They don't seem particularly special, such stupid creatures, I'd rather keep a few Dragon Sons."
