Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Fabricate, Continue to Fabricate

However, as they looked at the corpses of the Man-eating Eagles on the ground, their feathers clearly bore the marks of having been scorched by fire, the onlookers became somewhat puzzled.

"These charred remains on the eagles’ bodies..."

"Uh, we used fire arrows in our ambush, and it was inevitable that there would be some accidental injuries during the intense fight," Li Wenli responded quite frankly.

"Fire-hardened arrow feathers...where did they come from?"

The crowd grew curious again, seeing that both had left with empty hands, how could they have suddenly produced arrows tipped with fire in the blink of an eye?

Moreover, apart from the Man-eating Eagle King that had a spear sticking out of it, none of the other birds, nor the vicinity, had any arrow feathers to be seen.

"Cough...this is a secret technique of my family, not to be divulged," Li Wenli said, enigmatically waving his hand and using the mentality of the ancients to protect intellectual property rights to dodge the question, making the issue ambiguous.

Sure enough, once he said this, everyone understood the hint and no longer pressed the matter, realizing that such teachings from one’s master were indeed hard to expect someone to discuss openly.

Lame Man Uncle steered the conversation away: "Now is not the time to dwell on this matter. Let’s hurry and drag back the corpses while those Man-eating Eagles are still scared off."

"Right, it’s better to act sooner rather than later," the crowd echoed in agreement.

So, those with all limbs intact began to help drag the Man-eating Eagles, and some people were also assigned to carry back the exhausted Bai Junjun, Li Wenli, and Bai Sasa, who had a sore foot.

As they walked back a while, they encountered the corpses of the Elite Troop scattered about, some soldiers not yet completely dead, still moaning and wailing in pools of blood, asking passersby to save them.

Lame Man Uncle glanced at the scene and signaled to leave a portion of the people to see if there were any survivors among these men, and to bring back to the Tube-shaped Building anyone who still breathed.

"What happened here?" Both Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were utterly confused.

Since they were not present when Meng Yi arrived, they were unaware of the incident that had occurred behind them.

Lame Man Uncle then recounted all that had happened, and Bai Junjun, after listening, looked thoughtfully at the eight Man-eating Eagle corpses behind her.

"If I remember correctly, there are still some Man-eating Eagle bones stored in the Tube-shaped Building, right?"

"Yes," Lame Man Uncle nodded.

Since the claws, bones, and even feathers of the Man-eating Eagles were very sharp, everyone thought that they might come in handy and had kept them.

"Then, we’ll use these bones to claim credit tomorrow. I really want to see if Meng Yi has the nerve to deny it," Bai Junjun ground her teeth and said.

Such a Supervising Army Officer really was selfish enough, abandoning this group of sick and wounded to flee by himself.

If it weren’t for them blocking the enemies in front, how far did he think he could have gotten!

Observing Bai Junjun’s determined face, insistent on wresting some official rank or title from Supervisor Meng, Li Wenli shook his head helplessly: "You talk as if rewarding military merit is as simple as saying it’s due. Do you think he’s the Third Prince?"

"Indeed, he might cause trouble for a long time upon returning. In my opinion, we should bring the Man-eating Eagles over three days later; in any case, he would be ashamed to pretend as if nothing is due," Lame Man Uncle said lightly, but one could sense he had little hope from his tone.

Li Wenli, his mind racing, ultimately said nothing.

And so, the group returned to the Tube-shaped Building. The fool and Xiao Shan, Bai Lingyu, who had stayed home, saw from afar that everyone was coming back and all breathed a sigh of relief, running out in unison.

Bai Lingyu, overcome with excitement, threw herself onto Bai Junjun’s knees, then frantically began to tug at Bai Sasa.

Their bearing suggested they had been quite frightened.

Xiao Shan also approached with a whimpering desire for a hug.

Bai Junjun was not adept at dealing with such mushy emotions, but seeing the children huddled together, on the verge of tears, her heart also grew tangibly heavier; she silently bent down and patted their heads to offer comfort.
