On an exceptionally sunny day, Liu Family Village seemed to be gently wrapped in golden light, brimming with vibrant life everywhere.
At that moment, Zhang Niu's courtyard was bustling with activity. Liu Feng, Liu Qing, Liu He, Zhang Niu, Zhang Ma, and the others had all gathered there.
Their group was about to embark on the important journey of hunting Liu Feng's Second Soul Ring.
In the center of the courtyard lay an enormous specially made Bird Catching Net, the "secret weapon" Zhang Niu had crafted with countless hours of effort.
The net's overall construction was exquisitely designed. Its body formed a massive circle dozens of meters across. Once spread out, it resembled a silver cloud and could nearly cover the entire courtyard.
Its cords were made from an exceptionally special metal material. Under the sunlight, the metal gleamed with a cold luster. It was hard yet flexible, and every cord was as thin as a hair strand while possessing extraordinary strength.
Upon closer inspection, the surface of the cords was covered in fine patterns. These patterns had not formed randomly, but had been meticulously crafted by Zhang Niu through special forging techniques.
Not only did these patterns enhance the cords' toughness, they also created a unique friction when catching Kite Falcons, making it difficult for them to break free once they touched the net.
The opening of the net was the essence of the entire design. The mesh there was densely packed, arranged as tightly as a honeycomb.
Zhang Niu had repeatedly tested and precisely calculated the size of these meshes, keeping every side at around one centimeter.
This size allowed Kite Falcons' claws and wings to become easily trapped while preventing them from escaping through overly large openings.
The edges of the mesh had also received special treatment.
