Whether it was Wu Heng or those students or Instructor Qian, none of them had expected the cranes to suddenly attack. The level of spiritual power of these cranes was much lower than those of the students. Occasionally, one or two of them would bite back when they were being controlled but most of the time, they were relatively docile.
By the time Instructor Qian and the students reacted, Wu Heng had already been pecked until his body was a bloody mess. Everyone hurriedly ordered the cranes to retreat and rescue Wu Heng.
Although the unlucky Wu Heng’s life was not in danger, his injuries were still substantial. The fury that the flock of cranes had held in for the entire night was vented on Wu Heng.
After a flurry of activity, everyone realized that the tail feathers of the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes had all disappeared!
When the Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes noticed the astonished gazes of everyone, they became even more ashamed and indignant. They flapped their wings angrily and still wanted to peck Wu Heng. It was all that damn fatty’s fault. If he had not insisted on coming in, their secret would not have been discovered by these people, peck him to death!
The crowd hurriedly retreated from the beast house. Some students said, “Why are the tail feathers of these Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes missing? Could it be that they are collectively changing their feathers?”
“Forget it! I’ve never heard of these birds changing their tail feathers!”
“Then why are the tail feathers of these Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes missing?”
“Could it be related to Wu Heng? Otherwise, why would those Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes attack him so crazily?”
“What you said makes sense. These Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes are usually the most docile. It’s impossible for them to attack him for no reason. Even if he didn’t capture them, it’s probably related to him!”
“I heard that Wu Heng’s uncle, Instructor Wu, is in charge of the beast house. Could it be that Instructor Wu did it? is that why these Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes attacked Wu Heng?”
“How is that possible? The Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes don’t know that Wu Heng is Instructor Wu’s nephew!”
…
Just as everyone discussed what they have just seen, a middle-aged instructor rushed over.
“Heng’er! Heng’er! How are you?”
It was Instructor Wu. When he saw the injured Wu Heng on the ground, he immediately flew into a rage. “Instructor Qian, what’s going on? How did Heng’er get injured?”
“Instructor Wu, just now when Wu Heng was practicing the Beast Taming Art, the cranes suddenly launched an attack. Usually, the cranes are very docile. We didn’t react for a moment due to the shock of what just happened.”
Instructor Qian sneered in his heart, ‘You are the instructor in charge of the beast house, what kind of questions are you asking? Coming with the intention to interrogate us like it was our fault. How could the cranes attack people for no reason? Maybe it was you two who did this!’
Instructor Wu’s gaze was directed at the cranes. The cranes retreated in fear. After they retreated to the living area that Yun Chujiu drew for them, they lay on the ground and looked at the crowd.
Only then did Instructor Wu realize that the tail feathers of the cranes were gone. He frowned. “Why are the tail feathers of these Vermillion-beaked Long-feather Cranes gone?”
Instructor Qian said indifferently, “They were already like this when we came here. Could it be that it wasn’t done by your Spirit Beast Garden staff?”
“How could we possibly pull off their tail feathers without getting hurt by the cranes? This matter must be thoroughly investigated. We must find out who was so lacking in morals that they pulled off the tail feathers of the cranes!” Instructor Wu had blamed the person who pulled off the tail feathers for his nephew’s injury.
Instructor Wu immediately gathered all the instructors and handymen from the Spirit Beast Garden. After a quick investigation, they immediately found out that it was Yun Chujiu.
At that time, Wu Heng had already woken up. He immediately shouted, “Uncle, that Yun Chujiu laughed at me a few days ago. She must have done it on purpose. She is deliberately taking revenge on me!”
