Jiang Yue comforted Zhu Zhu and sent her back to the tent with Hope. She also left behind a lot of daily necessities for both the female and the cubs. Then she returned to the small villa with a heavy heart.

The sun was setting and the other beastmen came back one after another. Jiang Yue and Hope recounted what had happened during the day, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Bai Jiuxiao said: "In the history of my Golden Winged Roc clan, there has never been a record of anyone being promoted from the green level to the red level after adulthood. Apart from the potion given by the Beast God in Yue'er's hand, I can't think of any other possibility."

Ling Qingyun and Yan Che also shook their heads and said that they had never heard of such a thing.

Everyone looked at Lan Qiming. His lineage was not the descendant of the Beast God, so perhaps there were some different records.

Lan Qiming frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "There is a secret that the people of the Beast God have long forgotten, but the patriarch of our mermaid tribe has passed it down from generation to generation. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten it."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Lan Qiming said: "Legend has it that the people of the Beast God can switch between human and beast form to fight, but your bodies have a fatal flaw, a taboo that must never be touched. Once touched, there will be a disaster of destruction."

"So the Beast God sent down a divine revelation, forcing all of his people to forget this matter."

Jiang Yue couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What is it?"

Lan Qiming said: "Eat corpses."

Everyone gasped.

Lan Qiming explained: "The more powerful the orc's corpse you eat, the stronger you will become. However, after improving in this way, you are likely to suffer from schizophrenia. That is, the soul and body of the orc that was eaten will continue to erode the corpse-eater, causing it to eventually go crazy."

"The more corpses the cannibals eat, the stronger the corpses become, the faster they improve, and of course, the faster they go crazy."

"Even so, under the temptation of powerful strength, there will still be people who keep trying. It is said that as long as you eat enough red-level corpses, you can break through the red level, dominate the beast world, and become an existence comparable to the Beast God."

"Back then, the great war between the Red Ranks almost wiped out all the powerful tribes, so the Beast God forcibly used divine revelation to erase the memories of all the orcs."

"This is the consequence of cannibalism."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but recall that when they had caused havoc in the Iron Porcupine Tribe, they had killed a large number of powerful Iron Porcupine members before leaving.

The scene of corpses strewn all over the ground is still vivid in my mind.

If what Lan Qiming said was true...

Jiang Yue suppressed her nausea and retched.

Lan Qiming quickly comforted her: "Don't think about it, drink some water quickly."

Jiang Yue waved her hand to refuse. She felt like vomiting even when drinking water.

Seeing Jiang Yue's bad face, Lan Qiming regretted saying it, but if the Iron Porcupine Tribe really ate corpses, and they were a very large tribe with a population of tens of thousands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he had to say it.

Bai Jiuxiao and Bai Qiankun looked at each other, and Bai Qiankun took the initiative to say: "I will go and take a look tomorrow. With my speed, it will only take a day and a night to go there and back. Including the exploration, I will definitely be back before the evening of the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Yue said: "I'll go with you."

"no!"

Everyone objected in unison: "It's too dangerous."

Jiang Yue waved her hand: "I have made up my mind. Jiuxiao, Qiankun and I will take the hunting team of the Golden Winged Roc tribe with us. If we can't win, we will run away."

Everyone was still worried, and after some discussion, they decided to bring Qianren and three red-rank soldiers with them. If they were just going to investigate, it should be enough for them to escape unscathed.

The next morning, the group set off.

Jiang Yue and Qian Ren rode on Bai Jiuxiao's back, the hunting team of the Golden-winged Dapeng tribe protected them in the middle, and Bai Qiankun flew in the front, exploring the way back and forth.

The journey was safe and sound. Because the matter was urgent, everyone only rested once and then set off again.

After the bone and marrow cleansing, Jiang Yue did not feel tired after flying for a whole day.

At night, the group approached the territory of the Iron Porcupine Tribe.

Bai Jiuxiao landed first.

The red-crowned crane and the golden-winged roc's hunting team hid behind a hill, ready to take off at any time.

This is a hunting method commonly used by the Golden-winged Roc tribe.

Bai Qiankun was the fastest. He was the first to rise into the sky, looking down at the Iron Porcupine Clan with his eagle eyes.

From afar, across the barrier of clouds, Bai Qiankun saw a pair of scarlet eyes.

At that moment, years of combat experience gave him a strong sixth sense. A sense of dying terror enveloped his body, and Bai Qiankun suddenly turned sideways.

A huge arrow that was two meters long and as thick as a bowl shot towards them. The violent force carried by the arrow seemed to break through the clouds, as if it was going to penetrate the entire sky.

Bai Qiankun's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Above the red level!

The person who fired this arrow definitely possessed terrifying strength beyond the Red Rank.

A last-minute turn saved his life; the arrow was aimed at his heart.

The huge arrow passed through his right wing and pierced through it.

"Hey!——"

Bai Qiankun let out a shrill wail. The giant arrow was stuck in his wings, so he couldn't transform. Otherwise, his arms, which were many times smaller than his wings, would explode directly.

Either dead or disabled.

The golden-winged Roc lost its balance in the air and began to sway.

The person who shot the arrow sighed regretfully, picked up another big arrow, drew the bow and took aim.

This time, Bai Qiankun's slowly falling body could no longer be avoided.

"Qian Kun!——"

Jiang Yue was furious: "Jiuxiao, save him!"

Bai Jiuxiao didn't need to be reminded, his body was already flying up rapidly.

Bai Jiuxiao blocked the angle of the arrow and stood in front of Bai Qiankun.

Jiang Yue's heartbeat almost stopped.

The arrow bounced on his back, eventually changed direction, and fell off shakily.

In mid-air, the red-crowned crane suffered a heavy blow, groaned, steadied its body, and brought the golden-winged Roc down.

Under the cover of the mountains and forests, there is no angle for arrows to be launched.

Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Bai Jiuxiao used the metal riding saddle on his back to block the arrow.

Bai Jiuxiao spat out a mouthful of blood and scolded: "So strong, above the red level, no wonder he can shoot into the sky."

The members of the Golden-Winged Roc tribe turned back into human form. They hugged Bai Qiankun's right wing and tried to pull out the arrow.

Jiang Yueming knew that this would cause excessive blood loss, but she did not stop it. If Bai Qiankun could not transform back into human form, he would definitely not be able to escape with his huge body.

She exchanged hemostatic drugs and bandages from the system and prepared herself for battle.

The tribesmen pulled out their long arrows without hesitation.

Blood spurted out instantly.

Bai Qiankun turned back into human form. Jiang Yue hurried forward, sprinkled hemostatic powder on his wound, and then quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged it.

Bai Qiankun gritted his teeth and said without a sound: "Yue'er, I'm useless."

"Stop talking and leave now." Jiang Yue said hastily, "Whether they can eat corpses or not, the Iron Porcupine Tribe will definitely become a serious threat. Let's go back and make a long-term plan."

She turned to Bai Jiuxiao and asked, "Jiuxiao, are you okay?"

Bai Jiuxiao nodded: "It's just a little injury, luckily I have the riding saddle you gave me."

Jiang Yue smiled briefly and said: "Let's retreat, don't fly yet, let's take off after we walk a hundred miles."

The tribesmen nodded in agreement and took quick action.

Qian Ren carried Jiang Yue on his back, and they all went into the dense forest and disappeared without a trace.
