Banhe Tribe

Upon hearing the long roar, all the giant beasts pounced forward.

Startled, the Long-tailed Bird scattered in all directions, fleeing without a trace.

With so many giant beasts rushing at once, only a handful of Long-tailed Bird were actually caught.

The Long-tailed Bird were exceptionally agile, and in no time they flew out of the gaps in the encirclement of the giant beasts.

Once freed from the giant beasts' encirclement, these Long-tailed Bird flapped their wings and glided down the cliff, quickly reaching distances of ten or even dozens of meters.

The giant beasts couldn't possibly chase the Long-tailed Bird on the cliff; it was too dangerous. They could only stand at the edge of the cliff and watch.

On Jian Mo's side, a sub-beastman from the Eighteen Bends Tribe sighed and said, "I knew it would end like this. The Long-tailed Bird is too agile; it's always so hard to catch."

Another sub-beastman from the Eighteen Bends Tribe said, "There are at least a lot of bird eggs today. If we take those eggs back and hatch them, we should get quite a few chicks. We just don't know if they'll survive."

The sub-orc suddenly perked up. "It would be good if we could hatch some chicks."

The chubby chicks from the Cypress Branch Tribe watched from the sidelines, completely bewildered. "You're just giving up like this? You're not going to chase them anymore?"

The people of the Eighteen Bends Tribe said, "The main problem is that we can't chase them; if we do, they might fall off a cliff."

Upon hearing this, the fat chicks cheered, "That's you! We, the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe, are not afraid!"

"That's right, just watch us."

As they spoke, the plump chicks of the Cypress Branch Tribe flapped their wings and took flight.

Their animal forms were small, just right for them to maneuver among the mountains.

Before long, the fat chicks approached the Long-tailed Bird.

The Long-tailed Bird, upon spotting the plump chicks, panicked and frantically flapped its wings to take flight.

But this was no challenge for the fat chicks. They flapped their wings and chased after the Long-tailed Bird, catching up in no time.

The Long-tailed Bird use their agile bodies to make extreme turns.

The chubby birds followed.

Seeing that the fat birds hadn't caught up immediately, the Pallas's cats were exasperated and, taking advantage of their relatively small size and agile movements, joined the battle.

And so, chaos erupted again in the mountains, with chickens running wild, dogs barking, and feathers flying everywhere.

The other orcs and sub-orcs who couldn't chase after them just watched from the sidelines.

Even Jian Mo's Jiujiu and Ying'ao squatted behind him, peeking out from the left and right, watching the fat chirps and Pallas's cats chase the Long-tailed Bird.

The surrounding area was full of cliffs and precipices, making the chase quite dangerous. Only the orcs from those two tribes could move as nimbly as if they were on flat ground.

After chasing for a while, one of the fat chicks finally couldn't take it anymore. Instead of trying to grab the Long-tailed Bird with its claws, it flew up to the Long-tailed Bird and, using its much larger size, swooped down and pinned the Long-tailed Bird down.

The Long-tailed Bird let out a pitiful "chirp," its eyes rolling back in its head from the pressure.

The fat bird hummed as it carried the long- Long-tailed Bird out and showed it to everyone.

It worked!

The fat chicks cheered and began to imitate their companions' method, wanting to seduce the Long-tailed Bird.

Although the Pallas's cats were somewhat disdainful, they still pounced on it, mimicking the fat chicks, and tried to catch the Long-tailed Bird.

Before long, the Pallas's cats also succeeded one after another.

However, their beast forms were much larger than the Long-tailed Bird's, and during their swooping attack, they almost crushed the Long-tailed Bird's soul out of its body.

There are not many Long-tailed Bird left that have fled into the mountains and forests.

Jiujiu, watching from behind Jian Mo, suddenly squeezed out, jumped off the cliff, flapped its wings, and flew towards where the Long-tailed Bird was: "Chirp--"

By the time Jian Mo realized what was happening, Jiujiu had already flown more than ten meters away.

Jian Mo was as worried as if she had lost control of her own dog. "Jiujiu, come back!"

Jiujiu pretended not to hear what it didn't want to hear, flew directly towards the Long-tailed Bird it had its eye on, and then unleashed a powerful downward slam from the sky. "Chirp!"

The Long-tailed Bird was instantly Jiujiu by the constant chirping and squawking, exhaling more than it could inhale.

Jian Mo help but exclaim, "You silly bird! They captured me alive!"

If it were simply a matter of hunting birds, the people of the Eighteen Bends Tribe would have wiped out this flock of Long-tailed Bird long ago.

Jiujiu picked up the Long-tailed Bird, its eyes sparkling as it showed it to Jian Mo and Ying'ao: "Chirp!"

It's caught it!

No one minded Jiujiu's bird-catching behavior, especially the fat chirps, who all clapped and flapped their wings for Jiujiu: "Jiujiu is so amazing!"

The others chimed in, "Jiujiu chirp is so great!"

Jiujiu understood everyone's praise and puffed out its chest, "Chirp!!!"

Chapter 127 Banhe Tribe

Long-tailed Bird are quite skilled, but they are still inferior to fat chicks; Pallas's cats are also adept at catching birds.

Before long, most of the Long-tailed Bird in this area had been caught.

Upon seeing this, the people of the Eighteen Bends Tribe praised them. After releasing some of the weaker Long-tailed Bird, they led everyone in a large group to the next bird-catching site.

This time, the fat birds and Pallas's cats were still vying to fight, determined to prove themselves the best.

Jiujiu and Ying'ao also flew down, trying to help catch the Long-tailed Bird.

Thanks to the efforts of the hunting army, the Long-tailed Bird were pinned down and made to chirp incessantly.

Especially Jiujiu, whose large size gave it a significant advantage, catching them with ease. The people from the Eighteen Bends Tribe and others cheered for Jiujiu, making it even more Jiujiu.

Jian Mo didn't want to call it back.

In contrast, the Ying'ao has much better hunting skills; it can grab Long-tailed Bird directly with its claws, and can catch two at a time.

After catching the Long-tailed Bird, the people of the Eighteen Bends Tribe released some of the weak and young Long-tailed Bird back into the wild. Then, with the remaining Long-tailed Bird, they hunted and gathered as they walked back to the tribe.

Today was a bumper harvest, and everyone was beaming with joy.

After returning to the tribe with the captured Long-tailed Bird, the people of Long-tailed Bird Eighteen Bends Tribe immediately sorted through them, picking out the Long-tailed Bird that were more seriously injured, and then fed them with the mushrooms they had just collected that day.

This was the first time Jian Mo had ever seen anything like it, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can these mushrooms heal the Long-tailed Bird's wounds?"
