The failure of Imperial Court agents to locate anyone didn’t mean that Little Kingfisher couldn’t do it.
Little Kingfisher resented the ruthless brutality of the Black Wolf Guard and vowed to root them out of nearby villages to avenge the dead birds.
At the King of Beasts’ command, not only did the birds swarm, but the wild animals in the forest also began to grow restless, eager to break free and join the fray.
Countless venomous snakes emerged from the cracks of the mountains and swam across the river to human settlements, searching for suspicious targets.
The villagers on the other side of the river clearly felt that the number of snakes in their fields and hills had increased several times compared to the past.
Fortunately, the snakes didn’t attack people as they passed by. Even so, the sight was enough to make one tremble with fear.
Some of the more timid villagers simply hid in their homes, shutting their doors and windows, too afraid to work in the fields.
“Roar!”
In the pitch-black and desolate mountain village, continuous roars of tigers struck fear into people’s hearts, prompting them to close their doors and windows and shiver under their blankets.
Three spotted tigers swam across the river and, under the cover of darkness, snuck into a nearby village. Under the guide of birds, they jumped over a low courtyard wall and broke in through the door.
In an instant, harrowing screams echoed through the courtyard. Two blood-soaked figures fled from the jaws of the tigers, scatteringly escaping.
“Roar!”
With a chorus of howls from the three tigers, the snakes changed course, lying in ambush along the escape route of the two men. Any sign of their presence would lead to a swift attack, and not a single person would be allowed to escape.
As expected, not long after, harrowing screams rang out again in the dark night.
The two men were surrounded by a swarm of snakes. Despite their desperate resistance, they were quickly poisoned and fell to the ground, lifeless.
Similar events unfolded in villages near the royal estate.
Some villagers heard the howling of the wolf pack and panicked, their souls scattering. Even the guard dogs gave up resistance, tucking their tails and trembling behind courtyard walls.
Other villagers saw lurking cheetahs in the tree branches, poised to strike. Terror weakened their legs, and they scurried back home, locking their doors and windows, hardly daring to breathe.
The tiger’s howl, the ferocious beasts’ attack, and the snakes’ frenzied dance.
The extraordinary and terrifying spectacle lasted for three days and nights, until the Black Wolf Guard hiding in the villages across the river were completely annihilated.
The beasts and the snakes, summoned by the King of Beasts, returned to the forests. The human-inhabited mountain village regained its peace.
Su Qingluo believed in the divine beast’s ability to control the creatures and did not intervene in the operation.
She merely gleaned the key points from Little Kingfisher’s self-aggrandizing accounts, recreating the thrilling moments in her mind.
Furthermore, she paid extra attention to the villagers’ reactions and the Imperial Court agents’ judgments on the matter.
Jifeng and Jiyu heard the news and immediately associated it with Little Kingfisher.
After all, they had been outwitted by it several times before, and their not-so-fragile hearts had sustained a thousand wounds.
With the Black Wolf Guard infiltrating Fengqi Empire all eradicated, the Imperial Court agents successfully completed their mission and hurried back to Capital City to report the details to their superiors.
Meanwhile, Jifeng and Jiyu’s secret report was delivered to the Empress.
The two Qilin Guards downplayed the process of annihilating the Black Wolf Guard and highlighted the achievements of the Imperial Court. They didn’t mention the mysterious man and bird at all.
However, the Imperial Court agents were different; they recounted the extraordinary occurrences of wild beasts descending from the mountains and snakes swarming in great detail and truthfully reported the horrifying spectacle witnessed by the villagers.
Deputy Director of the Imperial Court Department, Xu Ruyun, listened to the report and immediately entered the palace to personally report the progress of the Little Prince’s treatment to the Empress..
