Chapter 625: Bow and Arrow Containing Formation Patterns_2
"You are from there, so you don't have the moonprint, but we all do. Can you remove the moonprint?"
As the Clan Leader, Jiang Feng was still very cautious. After all, being deceived by the Meat-Winged Monster for a lifetime made it difficult for him to trust outsiders.
At this moment, Jiang Shan stepped forward, revealing his wrist, from which the moonprint had already been completely removed.
"The moonprint on my arm was removed by him, and once it was gone, the power within me felt like it had undergone a qualitative change."
"You also don't have a moonprint?" Jiang Feng was surprised.
Jiang Shan concentrated his power in his fist, saying, "Yes, you can spar with me to understand the difference between having a moonprint and not having one."
Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright."
Swish!
Light shone from Jiang Shan's arm as he punched towards Jiang Feng!
Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Shan's fist, frowning slightly. His strength was supposed to surpass Jiang Shan's. Seeing Jiang Shan strike towards him, he summoned his own power to meet the blow!
Bang!
A powerful collision sounded.
Jiang Feng, who was originally stronger than Jiang Shan, was actually driven back by this punch, retreating dozens of meters!
"You..." Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Shan in shock.
"I only used fifty percent of my strength."
Jiang Shan retracted his fist.
The people of Changpan Valley were quite astonished that Jiang Shan, without his moonprint, could overpower the Clan Leader!
"You've become stronger than me." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly.
"No, once the moonprint is gone, you would still be stronger than me. You just need to trust this young man, Xiang Beifei, and let him help you remove the moonprint." Jiang Shan said seriously.
Jiang Feng was still considering.
"Let me try!" Uncle Liang volunteered, "I'm old and not afraid of death, so let's start with me. Young man, you can try on me."
He gestured to Xiang Beifei.
"Okay."
Xiang Beifei didn't waste words and carefully removed Uncle Liang's moonprint in front of everyone. The removal process was complicated, but with practice, it became much easier.
When he displayed the worm connecting to the body's meridians to everyone, many watched in horror.
Afterwards, Xiang Beifei channeled all the power absorbed from the Meat-Winged Monster's egg back into Uncle Liang's body, severed the connection between the egg and Uncle Liang's soul, and began mending the wound with powerful healing energy.
Throughout the entire process, even Uncle Liang was conscious, watching Xiang Beifei skillfully work, seeing his body gradually restore.
"How do you feel, Uncle Liang?" Jiang Chuan quickly asked.
Uncle Liang flexed his muscles, feeling the power within, clenched his fist, and a green glow emanated from his palm, symbolizing his Spiritual Power.
"Is this really my power?"
Uncle Liang couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Xiang Beifei with growing surprise.
The version of himself lacking a moonprint was a completely different person from before; this was an indisputable fact. He didn't expect Xiang Beifei's words to be true.
Uncle Liang felt powerfully invigorated, striding to a large banyan tree nearby and uprooting the tree with a diameter of four or five meters!
This towering tree was at least over fifty meters tall, a giant, but Uncle Liang pulled it out effortlessly, a feat impossible for him before.
"How has Uncle Liang suddenly become so formidable?" The villagers marveled in astonishment.
Uncle Liang's display shocked them thoroughly. Although Uncle Liang was vigorous despite his age, he could never have possessed such strength. Yet, sans moonprint, Uncle Liang seemed transformed.
"This is astonishing!"
Even Uncle Liang was incredulous, looking at Xiang Beifei with joy and surprise.
"This is real! You can trust this child." Uncle Liang laughed heartily.
His demonstration dispelled much doubt, with many expressing their willingness to try.
Xiang Beifei removed their moonprints one by one, a grand task considering Changpan Valley had over ten thousand people. Yet it wasn't daunting for Xiang Beifei, thanks to his numerous systems. He selected a [Clone System], replicating himself multiple times, making the task manageable.
The downside of the Clone System was that the more bodies created, the more power was divided. Hence, Xiang Beifei rarely used this system, but it was quite apt for the current situation.
——
As most moonprints were removed, Xiaohei came over, claiming to have a fantastic idea to counter the Meat-Winged Monster!
"What's the idea?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Xiaohei took out three bricks, plus an arrow, drawing whirlpools on it, then knocked the bricks together!
Dong!
The bricks emitted a golden pattern, linking together and converging on the arrow's whirlpool. Then it dismantled the connection between bricks and arrow.
Yet the golden pattern remained focused on the arrow's whirlpool.
Xiaohei gripped the arrow in its mouth, nocked it on the string, pulled the bow with its mouth, rotated to face Erha dozing lazily, and shot towards Erha's rear!
Whoosh!
The arrow flew swift and true, striking Erha's rear in an instant!
"Oww—"
Erha startled awake, barely having time to pull out the arrow when golden patterns spread from the whirlpool, binding Erha!
Erha's eyes widened, its body frozen mid-air, futilely reaching its rear with a hoof, unable to move.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei proudly showcased its invention to Xiang Beifei.
"This is quite impressive."
Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up, knowing the power of the bricks, reaching this level was indeed remarkable.
He knelt to inspect the arrow lodged in Erha's rear. Xiaohei's mini whirlpool preserved the bricks' pattern power; when the arrow hit, the pattern surged out, striking the target, utilizing the pattern's binding power to hold it.
"Arroooo!"
Erha was immobilized for about ten seconds before the pattern's power faded; without a brick connection, it couldn't last long.
Furious, it roared, demanding to know who shot its rear!
Xiaohei immediately pointed at Xiang Beifei, Xiang Beifei at Xiaohei.
"Awoo!"
Erha, though somewhat dim, saw the bricks with Xiaohei, and rushed at it. But Xiaohei, holding the bricks, laughed mischievously, causing Erha to halt reflexively and flee, disliking the bricks greatly.
"Your idea is good, but it needs improvement."
Xiaohei's arrow modification was crude, the pattern left by the bricks too fleeting. Even if it hit the target, the pattern's power dissipated quickly. If the pattern's duration could be prolonged, the hunters of Changpan Valley could all be equipped with such arrows. When the Meat-Winged Monsters came, they could be shot at instead.
The hunters' strength couldn't kill the Meat-Winged Monsters but could surely immobilize them!
Xiang Beifei immediately began to research this ability. He needed to craft a formation to maintain the power of the pattern for a long time. Xiaohei's current method only kept the pattern for a minute; he had to extend this duration.
Concerning the brick patterns, Xiang Beifei had ample research. Comparing carefully, he soon thought of the patterns in the forts!
Each fort had very special patterns: Xiang Beifei, in various forts, relied on these patterns to greatly amplify the bricks' power. He didn't need to precisely replicate the fort patterns, merely use their method to preserve the bricks' power.
