In reality, they ran one by one straight to the face of the beautiful bird monsters, one by one offering up their heads.
With the beautiful bird creatures eating with all three heads at once, they soon devoured most of the bodyguards. The few bodyguards that weren't eaten had simply fainted from fright.
But fainting did not spare them from their fate.
After consuming all the bodyguards who could run, the bird monsters proceeded to eat those who had passed out as well.
Once all the bodyguards were eaten, the only ones left were the three family heads who were smashing into the walls of the conference room.
They loudly crashed against the walls of the meeting room, appearing rather comical; in reality, they had fallen under the bird monsters' illusionary spell.
To Erniu and the others, it was a wall, but to the three family heads, it seemed like a tightly closed door. They kept slamming their bodies into it, hoping to break it open and survive.
