When system cheat becomes rampant!

"The meat-winged monster is not invincible; even Xiao Houzi can hit it!"

Jiang Shan silently cautioned himself, aiming at the meat-winged monster charging at the forefront, constantly adjusting the direction of his arrow. He was continuously calculating the movements of the meat-winged monster, from its speed to the distance of each leap, then estimating the flight time required for his arrow to hit it.

He concentrated all the Spiritual Power within his body, gathering it into his palm, then channeling it onto the arrow in his hand. The arrowhead on the string was glowing with a bright white light!

At this moment, the meat-winged monster seemed to have chosen its sacrificial target and suddenly pounced towards a hunter on the outermost perimeter!

Swoosh!

Jiang Shan had already anticipated the actions of the meat-winged monster. At a precarious moment, the arrow in his hand shot off the string!

The arrow traced a blur through the air, propelled by the formidable power of the Meridian Opening Phase, speeding towards the meat-winged monster!

The meat-winged monster had never regarded the Human Race as a threat, nor did it expect Jiang Shan to suddenly shoot an arrow. It was only of Meridian Opening Initial Phase strength, and by the time it reacted, it was too late!

A Spirit Power-infused arrow pierced through the right wing of the meat-winged monster, the powerful force pinning it directly to a branch!

"Ah... damn beast, you actually wounded me!" The meat-winged monster let out a shrill cry, apparently shocked that it was hit.

"How is that possible?"

The other meat-winged monsters, previously acting arrogantly, were also stunned, especially Tuo He, the leader of the meat-winged monsters, who was quite surprised to see its companion truly hit!

"I warned you all long ago! Their archery is incredibly accurate!" Fei Ding said coldly.

Tuo He gazed darkly at Jiang Shan, understanding that the deaths of Lun and Chi Mu were likely not accidental. Believing Fei Ding's words, his expression immediately darkened.

——

"It's a hit!"

Jiang Shan was astonished in his heart!

He actually hit the Netherworld Spirit!

In the past, when facing the Netherworld Spirits, they had considered using bows and arrows to kill these spirits, but the problem was that they never hit. When facing the Netherworld Spirits, they always felt as if they couldn't exert themselves.

This was the first time Jiang Shan hit a Netherworld Spirit!

Watching the Netherworld Spirit get hit in the wing by his force-covered arrow gave Jiang Shan a huge boost of confidence, realizing that the Netherworld Spirits were not invincible!

He couldn't help but think about the reason he hit the Netherworld Spirit. In previous years, when encountering the spirits, his arm still bore the moonprint, and his powers had to be forced out from the moonprint, making them difficult to control. When facing the spirits, his powers always misaligned.

However, now that he suddenly no longer had the moonprint and could freely control the power within himself, he could shoot wherever he wanted; this feeling was extremely satisfying!

He originally thought it was because his skills were insufficient, which led to his inability to deal with the spirits, but now he realized that this was not the case. It was as if the moonprint deliberately prevented him from hitting the spirits, severely hampering his abilities.

However, since the Moon God was clearly at odds with the Netherworld Spirits, logically speaking, the moonprint shouldn't act this way.

"Why is this?"

In the brief moments after shooting the meat-winged monster, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Shan's mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

If only he understood that the Moon God was the Netherworld Spirit, this issue would be easy to comprehend.

The moonprint and the Netherworld Spirits both originate from the Moon God Race. The moonprint, parasitic on human arms, would never allow humans to harm its own kind.

——

"Great shot! Sixth brother!"

Jiang Chuan and the other hunters saw their captain, Jiang Shan, also hit the Netherworld Spirit and felt invigorated, realizing that not only Xiao Houzi could hit the spirits, but even Jiang Shan could.

"Truly like father, like son! Such impressive archery skills!" the other hunters praised as well.

Seeing Xiao Houzi and Jiang Shan hit the spirits gave them hope, greatly boosting their morale.

"It's not just us; you all can hit them too!" Xiang Beifei said in a deep voice.

Wanting to eliminate these yellow spring spirits is just a thought for Xiang Beifei. However, this time Xiang Beifei didn't take action immediately, he needs to let the hunters of Changpan Valley understand that yellow spring spirits are not invincible, to help them build self-confidence and rid them of the fear of yellow spring spirits.

Especially since most of the hunters here are not fundamentally weaker than these meat-winged monsters. Take Jiang Shan, who lost his moonprint; if he were to truly fight the meat-winged monsters, he could definitely kill one alone. But because the moonprint has constrained them for too long, they've never fought these monsters, and over time, even Jiang Shan doesn't know he could defeat a just-matured meat-winged monster.

Xiang Beifei has the ability to save the humans of Changpan Valley, to take them all away, but that would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Because here, humans are wantonly slaughtered by the Moon God, yet they still revere the Moon God. If their mindset doesn't change, then even if they are rescued, it would be useless and they might even accuse Xiang Beifei of blaspheming the Divine Lord.

Xiang Beifei hopes even more that the humans here can see the truth step by step.

So this hunt by Meng Dong, in the eyes of the meat-winged monsters, is their coming of age ceremony, but in Xiang Beifei's view, it is the awakening ceremony for these hunters!

"We can too?"

"That's right! We can do it, and so can you. The reason you can't hit them is because you've feared these meat-winged monsters for too long, but actually, you are not weaker than these ugly creatures! You can only defeat them by conquering your fear within!"

As Xiang Beifei spoke, a silent aura spread from him, and the power "respected as a criterion" quickly covered all the hunters, climbing onto each hunter's wrist and masking the moonprint on their arms!

Respected as a Criterion, within Xiang Beifei's domain, any rules are determined by Xiang Beifei!

This means that, under Xiang Beifei's restrictions, all moonprints will be temporarily invalid, and the powers devoured by the moonprints will temporarily return to the hunters' bodies!

"Defeat the fear within yourself to defeat them?"

Many hunters were taken aback by Xiang Beifei's words, but soon realized something.

They have known the terror of yellow spring spirits since childhood, and this fear is ingrained in their bones. However, Xiao Houzi lost his memory; he doesn't even know what yellow spring spirits are, so he can't be afraid. Is this why he can shoot and kill yellow spring spirits?

And now Jiang Shan is also able to hit yellow spring spirits, because he must have conquered his inner fear first!

Thinking this way, all the hunters were filled with fighting spirit!

"That's right! Fear will only hasten our demise. Xiao Houzi is right, we must overcome the fear within us!"

Jiang Chuan's gaze also became firm, seeing that his brother and nephew could overcome their inner fears, how could he fall behind?

At this moment, he felt strength fill his entire body, even his perception and sense of smell became much sharper; it seemed he could control the power within him as well. With just a thought, he gathered his power onto the arrow!

Meanwhile, Tuo He's side was also enraged by the meat-winged monsters, yelling, "Kill! Kill these human livestock!"

"Kill!"

All the meat-winged monsters roared furiously, launching an attack from different directions!

Jiang Chuan immediately aimed at the meat-winged monster whose wing was just shot through by Jiang Shan. That monster had already pulled out the arrow and was angrily leaping towards them along the branches, preparing for revenge!

Whoosh!

The arrow left the string, turning into a phantom, reaching the monster in the blink of an eye, hitting it right in the thigh!

"Ah---"

The meat-winged monster emitted a piercing and resentful scream, falling from the sky and crashing to the ground.

"Shoot you dead!"

Jiang Chuan saw that he had hit the target and was quite excited, when there came the sound of whistling from behind him, Jiang Shan followed up with another arrow at the monster!

Poof!

The arrow pierced through the throat of the meat-winged monster, which struggled in dissatisfaction, wanting to roar, but couldn't make a sound. Jiang Chuan immediately shot a second arrow, this time directly into the monster's eye socket!

The meat-winged monster convulsed for a moment, then gradually stopped moving.

"Dead! So they are this easy to kill! Shoot them all! Avenge our fallen kin!"

Jiang Shan and Jiang Chuan, as brothers, teamed up to shoot and kill a meat-winged monster, completely igniting their fighting spirit, they shouted loudly!

"Kill the yellow spring spirits!"

All the hunters shouted loudly!
