Chapter 794 -779: Cunning Humans!
Xunfeng Clan.
Sacrifice Day.
As the annual Sacrifice Day of the Xunfeng Clan, the clan placed great importance on it, and preparations began early.
The place where most of the chaos was naturally the livestock pen.
On Sacrifice Day, besides some simple rituals, the main part was related to the slaves.
Free hunting.
This was the main event of Sacrifice Day.
On this day, all young ferocious predators of the clan could participate, without considering any external factors, to freely capture the released slaves.
As for whether to swallow the captured slaves whole or drain their Spirit Power first, it was up to the captor.
It should be known that the clan would never usually permit such greedy predation, even if it were the pure-blooded Xunfeng Tigers, they would only dare to seek one or two humans at a time, any more would result in punishment.
But today, there were no such restrictions.
“Hurry along, remember to run far away, don’t spoil the young masters’ fun!”
Several guards forcefully kicked a straggler, urging them out of the clan and into the vast forest beyond.
A hunting event naturally required a hunting grounds, and for the Xunfeng Clan, it was none other than the immense Heaven Nine Forest before them.
Unlike the circled hunting grounds Bai Qi was familiar with, the Xunfeng Clan did not bother creating barriers, they even gave the human slaves ample time to escape.
Being a renowned wind attribute tribe, the ferocious beasts of the Xunfeng Clan were absolutely confident in their speed.
If anyone had no gains during Sacrifice Day, they would have to live under relentless ridicule for the next year.
“No wonder these people dare to risk running away. With such a large forest, if they planned their routes ahead of time, they stood a chance of escape, only…”
Bai Qi surreptitiously glanced up at the dark cloud that had been following them, and sighed silently.
This Sacrifice Day, Hunting Day, was clearly the Xunfeng Clan’s elaborate scheme to bait out and hunt those slaves who still dreamed of escape.
“If anyone dares say that ferocious beasts are mindless again, I’ll show them!”
Bai Qi kept his gaze low and disguised them like everyone else’s, following the pre-agreed signs, trailing behind Ji Aotian.
Due to their long-term exploitation, the speed of the human slaves didn’t get them far fast and the Xunfeng Clan seemed to intend to let the slaves run even further, as they hadn’t taken any action yet.
However, a portion of the slaves was noticeably faster than the rest.
“I didn’t expect there would be so many people. It seems there are quite a few who thought like Ji Aotian.”
Bai Qi discreetly surveyed his surroundings and quickly took notice of almost a hundred people moving in a similar trajectory as him, a hint of resignation crossed his face.
In such a desperate environment, even a tiny chance of survival was hard to resist unless one had completely become numb.
“But it’s your good luck that you ran into me.”
Bai Qi intended to follow, but not far along, a pair of hands held him back.
He was discovered?
Bai Qi put on a puzzled look, turning to see a dirty boy holding onto his clothes.
“It’s dangerous over there, don’t go. I know a safe place.”
The boy spoke softly in Bai Qi’s ear and ran off to the next person before Bai Qi could respond.
There were two other boys of similar age doing the same thing as this boy.
“What do these boys know?”
Bai Qi observed the three boys who were running around to no avail. He contemplated, but upon seeing Ji Aotian and the others moving further away, he chose not to follow the boys and stepped up his pace to catch up.
“Wang Xi, what should we do? They don’t believe us.”
A blond haired, blue eyed boy came to the dirty boy’s side with a worried look. “If they go in that direction, they’ll definitely get eaten.”
“Damn them for deceiving their own kind”
Another short-haired, muscular boy gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred as he stared at the Xunfeng Clan.
“Feng Xu, stay calm.”
The boy named Wang Xi held back Feng Xu, urging, “An opportunity to escape is too rare for anyone to pass up.”
“But…”
Despite Feng Xu’s reluctance, after seeing Wang Xi’s determined gaze, he suppressed his resentment.
“We should follow them and assess the situation. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to take a risk!”
After glancing at the path taken by Bai Qi and the others, Wang Xi exchanged a look with the two boys and then quickly followed.
…
After leaving Wang Xi, Bai Qi hastened his steps to catch up with Ji Aotian and the others.
Without exception, all these individuals had been tricked into searching for a route to escape. Although there was little communication amongst them, Bai Qi could see an intense desire for survival in their faces.
As the surrounding environment became increasingly concealed, this desire for survival grew stronger.
Eventually, Ji Aotian led the group to the entrance of a cave. Before anyone could enter, several armed humans emerged from within.
“Don’t be afraid, they’re our comrades. I wouldn’t have been able to guarantee our escape without their help.”
Ji Aotian stepped out from the group, took out a Bone Blade, and said, “Now everyone, move quickly. I’ll help you break the covenant. After that, the ferocious beasts of the Xunfeng Clan will no longer be able to detect you.”

Hearing Ji Aotian’s words, the eyes of those following shone brightly, and they hurried towards Ji Aotian. Those who came from the cave pulled out similar Bone Blades and began to assist.
Ji Aotian worked swiftly, and quickly helped over a dozen people break their covenants. These individuals walked into the cave one after another, smiles of liberation on their faces.
According to Ji Aotian, comfortable clothes and fresh food had been prepared inside. They could finally get some rest.
“These folks are walking into a trap full of hope; commendable that these fellows could come up with such a plan.”
Bai Qi’s brow furrowed, sensing the presence inside the cave, his eyes gradually cooling.
“In theory, a human soul can burst with immense power during intense emotional changes.”
Jerry looked at the cave, saying, “From hope to despair, the spirit power released by these humans in both quantity and quality will far exceed usual. Seems like the Xunfeng Clan intends to achieve just that.”
“Hmm.”
Bai Qi nodded and continued forward with the crowd, only to find that the three boys from before had followed as well.
“Are they still thinking about a rescue?”
Seeing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, not entirely understanding the boys’ motives. But at this point, he was already in front of Ji Aotian, and it was too late to prevent them.
“Go ahead and rest, good days are just ahead.”
As always, Ji Aotian wore a warm smile, drawing a Bone Blade lightly across Bai Qi’s forearm. Bai Qi immediately felt a strange substance enter his body through the wound, activating both his blood and spirit power.
“Schizonepeta, a spiritual medicine which can relax one’s mind in small doses, causes irreversible damage to the spirit when the concentration is too high.”
Schuck rapidly analysed the substance, and Bai Qi’s face turned a shade grimmer. Flexing his muscles, he soon expelled the strange substance.
“They’re really planning on draining the last value out of these people.”
Bai Qi took a step, entering the cave.
Ji Aotian did not lie this time; the cave was indeed filled with clean clothes, delicious food, and even the luxury of alcohol.
By the time Bai Qi arrived, some were already singing and dancing.
However, these people failed to realize that numerous cold eyes were examining them from the shadows of the cave, as if looking at delicacies.
Soon, all the humans entered the cave, and Ji Aotian, along with his companions, sealed the entrance.
This act didn’t raise any suspicion amongst the human slaves; instead, it seemed to put them more at ease.
“Eat and drink quickly, don’t linger here too long. We soon need to move to another place.”
Ji Aotian walked to the center of the cave and loudly addressed his human comrades, who were engrossed in their feasting.
“Where are we going next?”
Bai Qi rose to his feet and asked.
“Where to? Of course, we’re headed to the glorious belly of the Xunfeng Tigers!”
At Bai Qi’s inquiry, the smile on Ji Aotian’s face instantly turned sinister. The Xunfeng Tigers, who had been hiding in the cave for a long time, began to emerge.
“Why so slow? We’ve been waiting for a long time.”
The black tiger who had previously visited Bai Qi’s pen glared at Ji Aotian with a hint of reproach. Ji Aotian responded with an apologetic smile, “My Lord Fengxing, please forgive us. If it wasn’t for this delay, the humans would not have been as appetizing.”
“Forget it, as long as we can feast.”
With a wave of his claw, Fengxing turned to face the hundreds of stunned humans, revealing a grotesque smile.
This was an exclusive perk of their Xunfeng Tiger lineage, something other ferocious beasts could not enjoy.
Seeing Fengxing’s action, the other Xunfeng Tigers began to move, unhurriedly approaching the completely devastated human slaves.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, these tigers found tormenting humans to be quite entertaining.
“A few Emperors and King Creatures dare to be so audacious don’t they know how terrifying humans can become when provoked?”
A cruel smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face, as the Wheel of Destiny began to silently turn, brewing a forthcoming massacre.
Just then, the three boys, led by Wang Xi, rushed out, each holding a handful of blue powder, which they scattered towards the Xunfeng Tigers.
The powder was light, spreading easily with a mere flick, and entering their nostrils with the tigers’ breath.
Upon inhaling the powder, several Xunfeng Tigers weakened and fell to the ground, instantly falling asleep.
“Schizonepeta? Even thinking of tricking us, you cunning humans!”
