Chapter 457 Ward off Evil and Misfortune, Group Attack Archer: Auspicious Beast Meng Huai!

The next one looks quite interesting; even Kunpeng was somewhat surprised and secretly marveled at it.

Isn't this a living, breathing porcupine?

Of course, this is no ordinary porcupine, but a porcupine from the Golden Immortal Realm.

It clumsily knelt and bowed to Kunpeng, which made Kunpeng very happy. He never expected that he would be able to see the ancestor of porcupines in this era!

This appearance is almost identical to that of later generations!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Volume 1, Northern Mountains: There is a beast on Mount Qiaoming. It looks like a badger with red fur. Its sound is like a cuckoo. It is called Menghuai and can ward off evil.

On Mount Qiaoming, there lives a strange beast called Menghuai. Menghuai looks like a porcupine, with red fur all over its body. The sound it makes is like a waterwheel pumping water, and it can be used to ward off danger.

Upon seeing its appearance, Kunpeng knew its abilities; all its skills must lie in the thorns covering its body.

As expected, this red porcupine-like beast had tough fur all over its body. When faced with danger, its thorns would stand up and tremble, making a "rustling" sound, and it would scare away its enemies with its thorns.

If war is unavoidable, use these thick, long thorns to pierce the enemy's body. The thousands of steel needle-like hairs shooting out simultaneously will be enough to give the enemy a hard time.

Moreover, it can now be controlled at will, launching aerial attacks with long-range, wide-area strikes, equivalent to the power of hundreds of archers, making it a master of group attacks.

Such power would be like a tickle to Kunpeng Changcheng and others, barely better than nothing, but it would be quite effective against those below the Golden Immortal level, and against beast tides or human wave tactics, and would also have considerable killing power.

Furthermore, when faced with a desperate situation, its rage level will increase significantly, and its strength will surge in a short period of time. If it launches a savage charge, its momentum will be unstoppable. Even ordinary Great Luo Immortals will find it difficult to withstand its sharpness and will have to temporarily avoid its sharpness. Otherwise, they might end up in a sorry state.

As a mythical auspicious beast, it is also associated with "turning misfortune into good fortune" due to its red fur and its supernatural ability to ward off danger.

The keeping of the Chinese scholar tree (Meng Huai) is believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune, and it is regarded as an auspicious beast that protects peace. Its image is juxtaposed with mythical creatures such as the Xi Bian and the Ju, forming part of the ancient system of warding off evil and bringing good fortune in the mountains and forests.

In short, Meng Huai's mid-to-low-level combat strength is indispensable to the sect. He's quite useful for tasks such as guarding the sect's territory, protecting the Immortal Garden, and fighting against multiple enemies. After all, while Beiming's high-level combat strength is decent, the 'Three Saints' can't handle everything personally; the grassroots level also needs reinforcement.
Accept it!

Being a disciple, a servant, or even a pet is all acceptable.

Kunpeng will not treat it unfairly; it will also have the right to listen to lectures, enjoy some resources, and receive the sect's protection.

After all, what Kunpeng likes most are loyal and devoted creatures like Zouwu and Menghuai.

Loyalty is the quality that Kunpeng values ​​most, and can even ignore or disregard its shortcomings in strength/ability!
As for Meng Huai, he was overjoyed to have been accepted into the inner circle of the sect and wept with excitement. He kowtowed repeatedly, showing the utmost sincerity.

He secretly resolved that he would dedicate himself to serving the sect to the death from now on.

Seeing that two more "colleagues" had been recruited by Kunpeng, the others were extremely envious.

Encouraged, they no longer hesitated and immediately stepped forward.

Seeing yet another leopard-like beast emerge from the crowd, Bai Ye chuckled softly and whispered to Kunpeng.

"This gentleman is my old neighbor from Shanshan. He also has some skills, as you'll see, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng also became somewhat interested.

As the visitor introduced himself, Kunpeng naturally learned about his origins and background.
