Having gone through such an ordeal, the group felt a sense of awe and unease, and dared not be too casual again, walking cautiously through the village.

But they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to find out what the origins of this reclusive family were, what the wonders of this "Willow God" were, and whether it had bestowed any sacred artifacts upon it.

You must know that artifacts truly crafted by ancient gods must be extraordinary, even miraculous. The crowd harbored a desire: if they offered their utmost respect and sacrifices here, they wondered if they could gain Willow Wood's assistance.

They politely asked to stay for a while, but Shi Linhu and the others, though simple and honest, were not stupid. They sensed something was wrong and said that there were very few stone houses and not enough places to stay.

Although Shi Feijiao and the others hoped they would leave as soon as possible, the group of people were unwilling to accept this. They all said they did not need to enter the village, they could stay outside, and they would be happy as long as they could get a drink of water in the village.

Powerful figures from major forces such as Zishan, Luofu Great Swamp, Lei Clan, Golden Wolf Tribe, and Yuntian Palace all settled down. Originally, they intended to enter the mountain range to explore the secrets of the mountain treasure.

"Brother, do you know what's going on in the mountains? I heard there's some incredible mountain treasure that's driven even the ancient remnants crazy. Didn't you guys go looking for it?"

The leader of the Golden Wolf tribe tethered his unicorn and tried to get close to Shi Feijiao, who was about the same age.

"I've heard about it, but the clan leader won't let us go. Only people or ferocious beasts with great fortune can obtain such things. Only those at the Venerable Realm can guard them; otherwise, it's just suicide."

……

On the other side, Lei Yunkun took out a jar of spirit flowers and put it into boiling water. Soon, it became fragrant and spiritually vibrant. He invited young people of similar age from the village to come and drink with him, constantly trying to get information out of them.

Relatively speaking, children are more innocent.

Two little girls from Yuntian Palace were chatting and giggling with the little one. They would pinch the little one's rosy cheeks from time to time, thinking that the child was especially cute.

"We've drunk Snow Leopard milk before. It's fragrant and incredibly sweet. When we were little, we'd have a big cup every day," a little girl said with a grin.

"Mmm, beast milk smells really good and tastes delicious." The little one nodded seriously, and they actually started discussing beast milk.

"Little one, which animal milk do you like best?" Two identical little girls, fair-skinned and delicate, beautiful and pretty, occasionally ruffled his shiny black hair.

"Fire tiger milk, moon rhinoceros milk, dragon horn elephant juice... the best-tasting milk is made by mixing these together."

……

Zishan Kun, Lei Mingyuan, and others walked by and rolled their eyes when they heard this. What was all this about? They were actually discussing this.

Jiaopeng, on the other hand, grew increasingly furious. Being defeated by a child from a small mountain village was a disgrace. But now, the child seemed to belong to a reclusive family, possibly even protected by gods, leaving him only able to feel resentful and不敢再放妄放 (dare not act recklessly).

Two hours later, the group of powerful individuals became suspicious. Stone Village seemed a bit strange. They investigated repeatedly and found that many people had not mastered the bone script at all, which was not the behavior expected of a reclusive family.

"Something's not right. It's impossible for everyone to be hiding their true abilities. Why can't I sense the runic aura of a real powerhouse?"

"Hmm, something's wrong. Could it be that we're just scaring ourselves?"

These people are so perceptive that they can find clues and loopholes from the slightest clue. They were just prejudiced and misled by all sorts of strange things.

Now that we've actually settled down and started interacting with the people of Shicun, we've gradually discovered the anomaly. We realize that we might have made a big blunder due to being too nervous, and many of us feel ashamed.

Jiao Peng was furious. Zi Shan Kun, Lei Mingyuan and other geniuses were also indignant. The young men from these powerful forces also had gloomy faces, feeling that they had been tricked.

If this gets out, it will be a huge joke. Several powerful clans were almost fooled by a stone village. This will definitely become a strange story.

“Uncle Cang, I just found out that this willow tree that was struck by lightning only appeared a few decades ago. It is not a guardian spirit that existed in this lineage since ancient times. Moreover, over the years, this willow tree has never spoken or communicated with this village. I suspect that it has lost many of its abilities as a sacrificial spirit.”

Jiao Peng said through gritted teeth, his face grim.

Jiao Cang and the others were also embarrassed. Their preconceived notions had led to such a big blunder. Fortunately, they did not actually do anything shameful, such as offering sacrifices in front of the tree.

The people of the Purple Mountain lineage were also whispering, sharing the same view. Purple aura was rising from Purple Mountain Shou's head, and his body was surrounded by clouds, like a giant purple furnace, exuding a terrifying aura. However, he did not unleash his power and quickly concealed it.

"Grandpa, won't they get angry? What if they do something bad to the village?" the two little girls from Yuntian Palace asked worriedly.

“Most people wouldn’t be like that…” the old man holding a snow feather murmured.

As darkness fell, the group realized they had made a mistake; this was not some hidden family at all, but they had likely obtained the remains of a Suanni (a mythical beast) by accident.

This speculation caused tremors not only among the people of Luofu Great Swamp, but also among the Golden Wolf Tribe and others. It meant that there might be an extremely powerful magic technique hidden in Stone Village!
Without a doubt, the original runes of the Suanni are extremely precious, even the great clans covet them. As the strongest among the ancient species, its treasured techniques are comparable to the clan-protecting supernatural powers of each family.

You can never have too many of these things. Besides, generally speaking, a clan only has one extremely powerful magic technique, while the others are minor supernatural abilities used to assist it.

It is precisely because of its rarity that it is so precious!

"Hey, Wild Boy, you've blown your own horn too big. You said you were chasing unicorns and killing sacrificial spirits. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Jiao Peng stared at Er Meng, Snotty Boy, and the others with an unfriendly expression.

The villagers were shocked, especially the children, who felt a chill run down their spines. How could they turn on each other so suddenly?
As a genius with a wild streak, and usually unruly, how could Jiaopeng tolerate this? He had been holding back until now, and was about to make his move.

Jiao Cang did not stop them, but wanted to see how the people of Shi Village would react. The others also stood by and watched how things would develop.

"Big brother, why are you being unreasonable?"

Little Dot stepped forward, stretched out his little arms, and blocked the way. After the incident with Bei Feng, he knew that people with hostility were likely to launch sneak attacks. He was afraid that he might use a hidden arrow to hurt people like Bei Feng did, or use a magic technique to injure Er Meng and the snotty-nosed boy.

Jiaopeng was not old, but he looked very gloomy. He said:
"Reason? You really are a baby, you don't understand at all. In this world, reason only applies to what fists can deliver!"

In a small, neglected courtyard in the village, Shi Yuntao, Shi Yunfeng, Shi Ziling, Qin Yining, and others watched the scene on the illusory light screen, which was the scene of Jiao Peng and others testing each other's intentions.

"They went too far, they actually coveted the village's precious lion bone!"

Shi Yunfeng said with a gloomy face. He was a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm and had even made a breakthrough. In terms of realm, he was no less than the strong people in those major clans. Therefore, he was still somewhat confident and was not panicked. He was just dissatisfied with the other party's shamelessness.

Shi Yuntao, however, remained calm and composed, and smiled as he said:

"This world is ultimately a dog-eat-dog world. For so long, not a single strong person has appeared in the village, naturally arousing their covetousness. Leaving aside the Suanni treasure bone, the potential shown by Er Meng and the others is astonishing!"

They might wonder if there's some great opportunity in the village that could enhance the potential and aptitude of the younger generation. Few wouldn't be tempted by such an opportunity!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling nodded with deep feeling. The Wu Wang Mansion was originally a clan of the same lineage, connected by blood. They were all brothers in the grandfather's generation, but there was still intrigue and backstabbing. They even dug out Hao'er's supreme bone, trying to kill their own lineage. This shows how wicked people can be.

Qin Yining goes without saying. As the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Mountain in the Upper Realm, she was stranded in the Lower Realm and married Shi Ziling. After that, she never contacted the Immortal Mountain again, which shows that her experience was not good either.

"Big brother, we live a peaceful and contented life and do not wish to have any conflict with you. Please do not be angry or upset. If we have done anything wrong, we will apologize to you."

In the video, the little one blinks his big eyes and speaks very seriously and sincerely.

The way a little child with milk stains still on the corner of his mouth spoke made some powerful people feel a little embarrassed.

The old man from Yuntian Palace stepped forward and said, "Forget it, the people here are simple and honest, why make things difficult for them?" As he said this, he looked at Jiao Cang, the middle-aged man from Luofu Great Swamp. He didn't need to be polite or say much to Jiao Peng.

However, the people of Stone Village ate a Suanni (a mythical lion-like creature) and obtained its sacred relic—the Treasure Bone. This made the powerful figures envious, and many wanted to obtain it, so things were destined to end badly.

“This village has played us for a fool; they have indeed done something wrong,” a member of the Golden Wolf tribe said.

"Chirp..."

Suddenly, several chirps came from behind the village. Three fledglings, Dapeng, Xiaoqing, and Ziyun, fluttered their wings and ran towards the little one.

Over the past few days, they have been constantly changing, devouring the flesh and blood of the Suanni, which has brought unimaginable benefits to this powerful and ferocious bird. The Roc's eyes have turned golden, Xiao Qing's wings have developed several dazzling patterns, and as for Zi Yun, its purple tinged with gold, its scales have become even more radiant.

No one needs to say more; just seeing these three chicks will make it clear that they are rare and exotic birds, undoubtedly inheriting the true blood of ancient ferocious birds, and having undergone mutation, making them inestimably precious.

"This is my prey, and none of you are allowed to take it from me!" the dragon said domineeringly. He took a precious bow from his back, drew it to its full extent, and was about to shoot an iron arrow.

The dragon-like creature of Luofu Marsh did not stop them, but watched calmly.

"Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours!" Zishan Kun and Lei Mingyuan also stepped forward, took out their precious bows, and regarded the three-headed fledglings as prey, preparing to capture them.

The group of powerful figures were astonished. These were three mutated fledglings, all of them extraordinary. If they were raised to adulthood, they would be exceptionally powerful guardians.

"Don't hurt Ziyun and the others!"

For the first time, the little one got angry. His eyes widened as he stared at Jiao Peng and the others, stretching out his snow-white little hands to block them.

Although the Jiaopeng was small, its eyes were cold, decisive and powerful. It drew back the precious bow with force, making it as full as a moon. A cold, sharp iron arrow was on the string, aimed at the three fledglings.

"chi"

A streak of cold light shot out, accompanied by a whistling sound. A powerful gust of wind, like the wailing of ghosts, rushed towards the purple clouds. He had his eye on this fledgling bird, because it looked the most extraordinary, its entire body a shimmering purple-gold color. He intended to wound it and capture it.

With a clang, the little one leaped forward, his snow-white hand striking the iron arrow and sending it flying. Everyone was astonished; this little fellow was incredibly fast, leaping through the air to intercept such a powerful and heavy arrow.

This four-year-old child is actually stronger than that Er Meng!

Everyone was astonished. A baby who hadn't even been weaned was actually much stronger than Er Menghua, who had defeated Jiaopeng.

The fact that it could easily deflect the arrows shot by the Flood Dragon shows that its power is much greater, far exceeding that of the Flood Dragon or even the Two Fierce Warriors.

"Why are you so fierce? Why did you hurt Ziyun and the others?" Xiao Shihao asked angrily, his eyes wide open.

"Get out of the way!" Jiao Peng shouted, his eyebrows raised, his eyes sharp, and he aimed the iron arrow at the little one with a cold smile on his face.

He was domineering and forceful, which angered Er Meng, Pi Hou, Bi Ti Wa and others. They had never seen such an unreasonable person before. The three-headed baby bird was raised by the villagers, but he wanted to shoot it and steal it!
"Are you still reasonable?"

Shi Dazhuang roared, grabbed a bronze cauldron weighing a thousand catties, and charged forward.

"Big Zhuang, step back!"

Little Dot said that he knew that since the other party's elders did not stop Jiao Peng, they obviously had bad intentions. If they rushed at him and the other party launched a sneak attack, it would be difficult for Grandpa Village Chief and the others to save them.

He was clever and guessed that Shi Yuntao and the others had not left the area unattended, but were keeping an eye on it. Perhaps it was because of his Nirvana that Shi Hao's spiritual senses had become even more amazing. Although he could not sense Shi Yuntao's gaze, he could not hide the gazes of Shi Yunfeng, Shi Ziling, and Qin Yining.

"If you don't back down, don't blame me for being merciless with my iron arrows!" Jiao Peng said coldly, an expression that seemed out of place for his age.

"Dapeng, Ziyun, you go back." Xiao Shihao said, telling the three fledglings to retreat first, while he stood in front to protect them from harm.

"None of them will escape. These three ferocious birds are all my prey!" Jiao Peng said coldly, drawing his bow again and aiming at the front. The arrowhead gleamed coldly, and a murderous aura filled the air.

"Whoosh..." The wind howled, and on the other side, Zishan Kun and Lei Mingyuan also took action. Afraid of falling behind Jiaopeng, they rushed towards the three-headed fledgling, holding their precious bows and iron arrows to hunt.

Dapeng, Xiaoqing, and Ziyun are all extremely intelligent and, apart from not being able to speak, their wisdom is no less than that of humans. They already knew what was about to happen and were all very angry.

The little one leaped up, blocking the two, and said in a childish voice, "These are my friends, you can't hurt them!"

At this moment, Shi Linhu and the others were alarmed. A group of people rushed over, all furious. They had originally treated these people as guests, but they never expected them to be so domineering and bullying.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" the elder from Yuntian Palace spoke up again, offering his advice.

"It's just a few kids throwing a tantrum. Let them have a competition to see who is the real genius. It's nothing."

Some people are trying to smooth things over, wanting to seize the precious lion bone from Shicun Village, but they lack an excuse and hope to escalate the situation.

As for Jiao Cang of Luofu Great Swamp, he remained indifferent and showed no reaction, never stopping Jiao Peng. The Zishan Clan and Lei Clan also made no move, observing coldly as their own children took action, awaiting the outcome. (End of Chapter)
