Chapter 442: Chapter 442 Heavenly Poison Silkworm
Aunt Linās face looked grim. The Black Witches were already more powerful than the White Witches; if it werenāt for the solidarity among the White Witches, the Black Witches might have swallowed them up long ago.
"Itās infuriating, they actually dare to contact external forces. Have they lost their pride as witches?" Aunt Lin said through clenched teeth.
One could imagine, once the Black Witches joined forces with external powers, their strength would certainly surpass that of the White Witches, and with the Gu King currently absent from Miao Village, it was a perfect opportunity for the Black Witches to strike!
"No, this is too urgent; I must immediately gather all the White Witches!" Aunt Lin thought for a moment before saying resolutely.
At that moment, the sound of a horn suddenly came from outside.
Miao Yutingās face changed, "Mom, whatās happened?"
Aunt Lin explained, "Recently, livestock has been going missing in the village, so the guards decided to hunt down the perpetrator. It looks like theyāve found them!"
Miao Yuting realized why she hadnāt seen Miao Yunfeng and the others coming to the village; they were out looking for the killer of the villageās livestock!
"Aunt Lin, something terrible has happened!" Just then, a young man from the Miao ethnic group, a member of the guard unit, rushed in, covered in bloodstains: "Our guard unit has been attacked, and three people are injured. Aunt Lin, please come quickly to look!"
Aunt Linās complexion changed. The young men of Miao Village were usually very competent, chasing tigers and pursuing leopards, going up the mountains and down the rivers; their strength was quite remarkable. And now, three of them were injured?
"Lead me to them quickly!" Aunt Lin said gravely.
Miao Yuting and Ling Feng followed closely behind.
At the entrance to Miao Village, three men dressed in Miao clothing were groaning in pain.
Ling Feng recognized them; they were the same men who had followed Miao Yunfeng.
Aunt Lin checked their chests, and each of them had a claw mark as if they had been scratched by a wild animal.
"I just used hemostatic medicine, but it didnāt work. That creatureās claws must be poisonous!" one of the Miao men said anxiously.
"Donāt panic!" Aunt Lin said calmly, then reached into her bosom and pulled out a porcelain bottle.
From the bottle emerged several little creatures resembling silkworms. They crawled onto the injured menās hands, and their pointed mouthparts pierced into their veins.
Shortly after, the bodies of the little silkworms began to turn green, and they slowly grew larger. At the same time, the menās pained cries weakened, and a healthy rosy hue returned to their pallid faces.
"These are Heavenly Poison Silkworms, a sacred relic carefully cultivated by us Gu Breeders to detoxify," Miao Yuting whispered to Ling Feng.
The damp breath of the girl brushed against Ling Fengās ear, while the unique fragrance coming from her stirred something within him.
After seeing the Heavenly Poison Silkworms suck out the poison and wobble back into the porcelain bottle, Aunt Lin said to those around her, "Take these three inside and look after them. Where are the others?"
"Brother Yun Feng is leading the others in pursuit of that creature!" the young Miao man replied.
Aunt Lin frowned, "What exactly attacked you?"
The young Miao man replied, "It was a white leopard, but Iām not clear on what kind it was; Iāve never seen a totally white leopard before!"
"A totally white leopard?" A grave look crossed Aunt Linās eyes, and she quickly asked, "Which way did Yun Feng and the others go?"
"They headed west!"
Aunt Linās figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared!
Ling Feng, holding onto Miao Yuting, also followed closely behind Aunt Lin, "Tingting, Aunt Lin moves so agilely!"
"My mom was my grandpaās most prized disciple!" Miao Yuting nestled comfortably in Ling Fengās arms and said, "Of the three disciples my grandpa had, it is my mom whoās the strongest!"
A gleam of understanding flickered in Ling Fengās eyes as he nodded thoughtfully.
...
In the depths of the jungle, young men from the Miao Ethnic Group held their weapons, each one gasping and focusing on the White Leopard perched on a tree branch in the distance.
"Yun Feng bro, weāve been chasing for so long, but still canāt catch up!" a young man from the Miao Ethnic Group said breathlessly, "I think that White Leopardās about to become a spirit. Is it leading us here on purpose?"
Miao Yunfeng said coldly, "What ābecoming a spiritā? Itās nothing but an animal!"
As he spoke, his gaze hardened on the White Leopard, "How many poultry and livestock have gone missing from our village these past few days? It must be this guy stealing them! If we donāt catch it, who knows how much more weāll lose!"
Pausing, Miao Yunfeng continued, "You guys flank from the other side, weāll go from here. I refuse to believe that all of us elites from the Miao Village canāt outdo a single White Leopard."
The White Leopard lay on the branch, eyeing the Miao youths rubbing their hands in anticipation from afar, a hint of disdain and mockery flashing through its narrow eyes.
It squinted, lying on the branch as if it was asleep.
Miao Yunfeng and the others were elated, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to surround and attack the White Leopard!
"Attack!" Miao Yunfeng signaled to the others, and then seven or eight young men charged from all sides, ready to subdue the White Leopard!
Just as they rushed in, the White Leopardās eyes snapped open. With a powerful leap from the branch, it astonishingly stepped on the shoulders of several men midair, and then jumped to a distant spot!
"Damn it!" Miao Yunfeng and the others quickly turned around, only to be met with the White Leopardās scornful gaze.
Miao Yunfengās eyes reddened with anger. Today truly was a day where nothing went right! It was hard enough to see Miao Yuting return to the village, only to be heartbroken at the sight of her bringing an unknown man with her, followed by this mockery from a beast!
"Damn you, damn you!" Miao Yunfeng snatched a spear from a comrade, channeling his boiling rage into the weapon, and then thrust it forcefully at the White Leopard!
The spear, fueled by Miao Yunfengās limitless fury, shot toward the White Leopard like a bolt of lightning!
The White Leopard had never expected that these weak humans would dare to attack it!
"Roar!" The White Leopard sensed danger and quickly tried to dodge, but the spear was too fast. It didnāt completely avoid it, and the spear grazed its body, leaving a deep gash along its side!
Blood gushed out instantly, staining its white fur red!
Although the wound was nothing to the White Leopard, it ignited the beastās ferocious nature.
"Roar!" The White Leopard turned around and glared coldly at the humans.
Miao Yunfeng and the others felt a chill run through them. The glare from the leopard was terrifying!
"Donāt be afraid. Are we really going to be scared of this animal?" Miao Yunfeng encouraged everyone.
...
At that moment, Ling Feng and his group heard the White Leopardās roar as well. They looked in the direction of the sound with a serious look on their faces; the leopardās voice was deep and resonant, indicating that this was no ordinary beast.
"We should quicken our pace. Yun Feng and the others are probably no match for that beast!"
Meanwhile, in the depths of the forest, a red-haired girl heard the leopardās roar and spoke with surprise, "So someone managed to anger Xiao Bai? Heehee, I wonder who the unlucky one is. Iāll go have a look!"
