Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 349 - 348: All for Nothing

It was Wei Cang who, desperately trying to hide his gloating smile, quickly ordered someone to bring Beast Skins for Zhu Bang.

Zhu Bang shifted into his human form and said coldly, "I’m certain a Beastman with a Fire Ability is causing trouble. They’re specifically targeting us White-shouldered Eagles to sow chaos within the Eagle Clan!"

He had to shift everyone’s attention from a single individual to an entire group of Beastmen.

Yin Jiang nodded. "I agree. It’s too much of a coincidence. A fire appears out of nowhere the moment I bring this up.

But Father Zhu Bang, you’re a Level 15 Beastman. Couldn’t even you do anything about this fire?"

The others were terrified as well. They were Flying Beastmen, and their greatest fear was having their feathers burned away. Just like Zhu Bang—no matter how powerful a Beastman was, losing their feathers meant losing their aerial combat prowess.

Even with a Beastman’s powerful regenerative abilities, it would still take a good seven or eight days for the feathers to grow back!

Zhu Bang’s face was livid, and he practically forced the words through his teeth. "This fire isn’t like an ordinary fire. If it had been a low-level Beastman, they would have been turned directly to ash, not just had their feathers burned off."

’Could it be? Is the Beast God really singling me out? Does every wicked thought I have now earn me divine punishment? But the Beast World Continent is huge! There’s no way the great Beast God is watching just me. I haven’t personally gone on a killing and pillaging spree.’

"This has never happened before. It must be because our Eagle Clan has been excessively greedy lately and provoked some Beastman with a strange superpower!

And as the First Warrior of our Eagle Clan, I’ve naturally become the target... However," Zhu Bang’s gaze turned sinister as he looked at Yin Jiang, "if I recall correctly, you have a Fire Ability. Any Eagle Falcon Beastman who has experienced rebirth receives Blessings. Has your Fire Ability evolved?"

Yin Jiang held up his hands. "Father Zhu Bang, I don’t understand why you’re so hostile toward me.

First of all, when everyone was spreading the story about the fireball chasing a White-shouldered Eagle all over the sky, I was out hunting with everyone else.

What kind of incredible power would I need to control a fireball from that far away?

Furthermore, just now, in front of everyone, that fireball fell from above. My Fire Ability shoots from the palms of my hands.

You didn’t get your brains roasted, did you?"

The crowd纷纷 nodded in agreement, testifying, "Lord Zhu Bang, it really wasn’t Yin Jiang. When the White-shouldered Eagle was getting its butt nearly burned off by the fireball, we were hunting deep in the grasslands. Unless Yin Jiang has a Clone Ability, he couldn’t have done it.

Besides, everyone’s saying the fireball fell from the sky. They’re calling it the Beast God’s divine punishment for a wicked beast!"

"Right, only a divine punishment would have the power to burn all the feathers off a Level 15 Beastman..."

One after another, they mentioned "burned butt" and "burned clean," making Zhu Bang tremble with rage. He hadn’t suffered such humiliation since he became a Level Eleven or Twelve Beastman.

Si Shuo pursed his lips and said timidly, "Lord Zhu Bang, it really seemed like that fireball was targeting you. This time you were only burned bald, but what if it comes back for you again?

You should really think hard about who you’ve offended recently. Otherwise, why would someone single out you White-shouldered Eagles for no reason..."

"Mother, if the fireball comes back next time and that uncle can’t fly, will he be cooked into a roasted chicken?" Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"An eagle!" the Little Golden Eagle corrected.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Zhu Bang. That was a good point. As Flying Beasts, they excelled at flight; they rarely used their legs when they could use their wings.

How could a flightless Zhu Bang escape the next divine punishment?

Zhu Bang clenched his fists. He was starting to panic, but he forced himself to remain calm. "I, Zhu Bang, have always acted with integrity and have never done anything to be ashamed of. The fireball must have made a mistake!"

"That’s true," Yin Jiang nodded. "Father Zhu Bang is the Eagle Clan’s First Warrior. He protects the clan and has done countless good deeds.

That fireball looked so vicious, as if its target was some unforgivably wicked beast. It definitely got the wrong person. Next time, Father Zhu Bang, you must be sure to give it a good talking-to."

"Lord Zhu Bang, don’t worry. The next time the fireball appears, we’ll definitely speak up for you... You’re so benevolent and you never stir up trouble, how could you be targeted..."

"Lord Zhu Bang is such an upright and loyal male..."

The clansmen’s praises, one after another, struck Zhu Bang’s face like slaps. If he weren’t so confident in how well he’d hidden his deeds, he would have thought they were mocking him.

He grunted in acknowledgment. Without his wings, even getting home was a problem. The sky was now grim and overcast, looking like it was brewing a heavy snow that would likely fall in three or four days.

Most importantly, once word got out that his feathers had been burned off, many High-level Beastmen would be eager to make a move against him!

Yin Jiang stepped forward with a smile. "Let me help Father Zhu Bang get home."

With that, he grabbed Zhu Bang’s arm, unfurled his wings, and with a few flaps, carried the man back to his cave.

He leaned in close to Zhu Bang’s ear and whispered with a soft chuckle, "Father Zhu Bang, it seems the Beast God has discovered your savage ambition. Tsk, tsk. In the face of divine punishment, all you can do is flee in disgrace!

I found it so satisfying to watch. But compared to my Dantian being destroyed and my wings being clipped, you just becoming a bald eagle gawked at by the clan... it doesn’t seem like much."

Zhu Bang glared at him, but Yin Jiang had already flown out of the cave. He called out with a smile, "Beastmen of the Eagle Clan! A long drought is followed by a great flood, and after that come the heavy snows!

To help the females and cubs get through the cold winter, the Clan Leader has agreed to distribute winter supplies to every member of the clan.

The supplies are stored in the cave behind the giant rock next to the female cave. Everyone, line up to receive your share..."

Zhu Bang listened, his eyes practically splitting with rage. Those supplies... he had skimmed all of it from the Eagle Clan’s daily hunts. He had traded and bartered many times to hide their origin, all to accumulate that massive hoard of dried meat and fruit. He had planned to live lavishly all winter, then sell the rest at exorbitant prices in exchange for High-level Crystal Stones for his Cultivation!

You could say he had worked hard all spring and summer, only to have it all confiscated with a single, casual sentence from Yin Jiang. And the worst part was, he couldn’t jump out and claim ownership!

Having his feathers burned off, Yin Jiang’s mockery, and the loss of his winter supplies—it was one devastating blow after another for Zhu Bang. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He stood there trembling, and finally, a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth. He was so enraged that he collapsed to the ground!

The Eagle Clan Beastmen had already found the cave. Seeing the densely packed rows of dried meat and fruit, they went wild with joy.

The elders stepped forward with about twenty males. They first took inventory of the supplies, then distributed them evenly according to the clan’s population. Even the old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the clan received a share.

Each person received over twenty pounds of food. Eaten frugally, it could last for ten to twenty days.

"Clan Leader, I believe we need to hold a small meeting to discuss some matters," the Great Elder said calmly, singling out Wei Cang after arranging the supply distribution.

Wei Cang, his head covered in sweat, braced himself and agreed.

"Yin Jiang, you come along as well," Pang Yuan said with a smile, looking at Yin Jiang.
