Chapter 2314 - 2313: Descent
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Of course I know!"
Seeing her unfriendly expression, Ling Feng was taken aback: "What? Do you two have a grudge or something?"
"Not that bad!"
Xiao Xiao shook her head and continued to walk forward.
Ling Feng felt puzzled but didn’t ask further, quickly following her.
Before they reached the meat-cooking site, a fragrant scent wafted over.
"Wow, this smells really good!"
Ling Feng was delighted, not expecting the Thunderbird meat to be so aromatic!
Xiao Xiao was not as surprised as he was; she just commented blandly, "Quite normal."
When the two arrived, all three large pots had been uncovered, with rich meat aroma and the rolling snow-white broth, presenting a very tempting scene.
The villagers of Ling Family Village could hardly restrain themselves.
Yet everyone queued up in an orderly manner; no one rushed to grab.
They were also quite disciplined, stepping aside promptly when they saw Ling Feng had returned, insisting he served himself first.
After all, he brought this delicacy; it was only right for him to taste it first.
Ling Feng didn’t stand on ceremony, happily accepting their gesture.
Once he finished, the people of Ling Family Village began serving themselves meat and broth in succession.
Soon, the village echoed with the sound of slurping.
Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao ignored each other, sitting on either side of Ling Feng, tasting the delicious meat bite by bite.
Ling Feng also ate a bit, feeling that the Thunderbird meat was indeed delicious, similar to the poultry he raised in Shiliu Village.
Moreover, he also tasted a unique flavor; there seemed to be some Xuan Qi in the Thunderbird meat, which was somewhat different from the Spiritual Energy he was used to.
The people of Ling Family Village had a good meal this time, and not a bit was left in the three large pots, even the broth was gone.
The old Village Chief approached Ling Feng, smiling as he said, "Ling Xiao’er, thanks to you, our villagers had a taste of meat for once, which is really rare!"
"No need to be so polite, Village Chief, it was all my pleasure!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"In a hundred years of Ling Family Village, it’s the first time to taste the Thunderbird meat. I’ve only heard the elders mention it, but never tasted it myself!" The Village Chief said with emotion.
"In that case, leave everyone’s food to me in the future. Although I can’t promise meat every day, I can at least improve things from time to time!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Absolutely not!"
The Village Chief was taken aback by this, quickly waving his hands.
"Why?"
Ling Feng was confused, asking bewilderedly.
"This meat should not be eaten recklessly; the Dragon Clan forbids it!" Xiao Xiao said from the side.
Ling Feng turned to look at her: "And why is that?"
"To the Dragon Clan, it’s best that the villagers remain ordinary people, without any physically powerful individuals emerging to challenge their status!" Xiao Xiao explained.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng suddenly realized, no wonder!
This is clearly a method of control!
Controlling from the most basic food can effectively prevent any ordinary individuals from developing super abilities.
"They’re not stupid!"
Ling Feng nodded, pondering whether he should start resisting the Dragon Clan now.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the sky!
The people of Ling Family Village heard it and turned pale. After an unidentified shout, almost everyone turned and ran home.
The meat-eating venue, once crowded, was now nearly deserted, with only a few people remaining.
"What’s happening?"
Ling Feng was puzzled, looking up at the surrounding sky, but saw nothing for now.
Xiao Xiao and the others’ expressions changed, and then she said to Ling Feng: "The Dragon Clan is coming!"
"It must be the fragrant smell of boiled meat that attracted their attention!" Mu Mu added.
As soon as they finished, a pair of gigantic wings appeared in the sky at the forest’s edge!
The wings seemed to block the sun, creating an awe-inspiring presence. Ling Feng then saw a giant bird!
It resembled an eagle, but its size was many times that of a regular eagle!
The enormous flapping wings were the source of the sound.
Once the giant bird emerged, it was over Ling Family Village in a flash.
Ling Feng felt a huge pressure, his heart silently cursing the situation.
The massive wings cast a shadow over the sky, plunging the entire Ling Family Village into darkness.
Simultaneously, a figure suddenly leapt from the bird’s back, landing on the ground with a thud!
As the figure stood up and the dust settled, Ling Feng saw a person clad entirely in golden armor.
This person had only exposed their eyes, which glanced around like lightning and then focused on Ling Feng: "Who dares to eat meat here!"
"I do!"
Ling Feng didn’t want to implicate the innocent, stepping forward immediately.
The man looked him over and then said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Clan has decreed that you lowly people are forbidden from eating meat. Do you not know that?"
"Really? I just happened to kill a Thunderbird by chance, and thought its meat would be wasted if not eaten, so I cooked it!"
Ling Feng responded nonchalantly.
"How dare you!"
The armored man roared furiously and then exclaimed, "You have committed a grave sin, prepare to die!"
"Wait!"
Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao both shouted coquettishly, rushing forward together.
However, the armored man merely extended a hand, instantly pushing them away with an invisible force!
Ling Feng clearly felt the pressure too, inwardly amazed at how strong this guy was!
Yet, with natural pride in his bones, even facing a formidable opponent, Ling Feng remained undaunted, looking him in the eye and calmly said, "Just for eating meat once, one is accused of a so-called capital crime? Isn’t that too tyrannical?"
"Lowly people, you do not have the right to reason with the Dragon Clan. Rules are rules, and violators must die!"
"Lowly people? And are your Dragon Clan members all that superior?" Ling Feng asked with a cold smile.
"How dare you offend the dignity of the Dragon Clan, you truly deserve death!"
The armored man said, suddenly lifting a foot!
Immediately, Ling Feng felt tremendous pressure descending from above!
Silently cursing his misfortune, when he tried to escape, he found himself unable to move!
The invisible pressure pinned him firmly to the spot!
As the pressure increased, Ling Feng’s entire skeleton emitted cracking sounds.
And his body began to bend under the force.
Ling Feng exerted all his strength, yet still couldn’t withstand the immense power.
The eyes of the armored man flashed with a hint of cruelty, then he suddenly stomped his foot!
"Boom!"
Ling Feng only saw darkness, feeling as if he was stomped into the ground, and then he knew nothing.
In the pitch-black void of his mind, Ling Feng retained a wisp of consciousness: "Damn it, did I fail this trial?"
