Chapter 50 - Seeing the Light Again (2/2)

Zi Yun, Da Peng and Xiao Qing rushed out in excitement. They were salivating at the sight of the big fish in the river. Currently, their body lengths were 3.5 meters long. For the past two to three months, their growth rate had finally slowed down.

The Green Scaled Eagle appeared and flapped its enormous silver wings. Waves crashed against the shore and seven to eight big golden scaled fish flopped up and down on the shore. Each of them weighed over ten jin, but what was most mystical about them was that at the side of their mouths were two sparkling dragon whiskers, and they emitted a sweet smell.

The three hatchlings cheerfully rushed up to enjoy their delicious food.

Shi Yunfeng was shocked and quickly followed. He held a big fish and turned it over and around several times and alarming said “It’s actually a genuine Dragon Whiskered Fish? A really high quality one at that. This certainly is valuable stuff. They contain plenty of spiritual essence, so if we eat them for a long time, our strength will increase and our bones and muscles will grow strong as well. It will greatly benefit our children!”

A group of children heard everything and immediately shouted as they charged towards the river shore.

Fish that contained such abundant spiritual essence was quite rare and very costly in the outside world. Now, there were enough of them within this lake to sustain the village for a long time.

“Chief, look, isn’t that flock of large birds beside the lake made of Five-Colored Chickens?” Er Meng’s father was a bit emotional as he pointed ahead. He once met one from very far away in mountains, but he wasn’t able to catch it.

“Looks like…. it actually is!” Shi Yunfeng stared with his eyes wide open, and he also became emotional as soon as he saw them.

Five-Colored Chickens had very gorgeous feathers. Their appearances were close to a Luan [1. Luan is a type of phoenix.], and were all over two meters long. They could be made into a type of rare bone-repairing medicine.

The Five-Colored Chicken was a divine medicine. If one fell and broke their bones or injured their muscles and ate a cauldron-full of Five-Colored Chicken as well as drank its soup afterwards, their broken bones would be repaired.

Shi Yunfeng turned around and carefully warned, “There are a lot of them living here, don’t rush out indiscriminately and kill them as you wish. I’ll support you guys if we need its medicine. We can’t startle them, as we need them to stay by this lake all year round.”

A group of able-bodied men all nodded in agreement because their gazes were not on the Five-Colored Chickens. Their state of mind weren’t clear, and they were actually all staring toward the Unicorns on the other side. Those precious silvery mounts made their hearts beat in excitement.

After living for such a long time in the middle of the mountains, all the strong males wanted a mount that could run ten thousand li a day. This was the males’ dreams and wishes.

Unicorns were mutated from Scaled Horses. They were extremely rare, yet there was an entire herd of them present. There wasn’t any less than fifty to sixty of them, and it naturally made a bunch of old men’s eyes turn red. They all knew however, that these were hard to deal with vicious beasts as well.

“Slowly, we will catch a few sooner or later. Don’t startle them. So long as they live year round in this beautiful land, they will eventually be ours!” Shi Feijiao whispered.

The scenery outside the village changed greatly. After their initial shock, none of the villagers were frustrated anymore because this place was just too wonderful. They were surrounded by many rare and intelligent creatures in this beautiful and precious land.

The little guy was stupidly lost in his thoughts. After seeing the Golden Scaled Dragon Whiskered Fish in the middle of the lake and those Unicorns on the shore, he became distracted as well. He muttered to himself “I’ve seen this place before. A large lake, and birds more beautiful and larger than these little Luan being hunted by an aristocratic tribe.”

Seeing him like this, Chief Shi Yunfeng’s wrinkled face trembled. Even Shi Linghu, Shi Feijiao and the others’ expressions changed as they looked away from those Unicorns.

“Father, mother, I miss you.” The little guy said in a saddened voice as he sat by the lake despondently while embracing his knees.

Shi Linghu, Shi Feijiao and the others looked at each other without saying much.

“Grandpa Chief, are they still on this earth or not? I miss them!” The little guy suddenly raised his head with a watery mist in his eyes as he carefully asked. This was the first time that he was this direct.

Shi Yunfeng remembered all kinds of things about the past and his heart suddenly became complex. He squatted down and rubbed the little guy’s head with affection, but he did not know what to say.

Suddenly, a splendid scarlet electricity streaked across the sky. It immediately dyed the entire sky red like the sunset glow.

A sparkling blazing red sparrow, bright, red and alluring and only the size of a palm fell from the sky in front of the willow tree at the village entrance.

“Ya, Little Red!” The little guy immediately stood up and rushed over.

This sparrow’s entire body was scarlet red, but after falling down, all of its divine light had dimmed. Its scarlet feathers darkened and a terrifying wound cut across its chest, practically splitting it in half. Furthermore, there were a few claw marks on top of its head that practically penetrated into its skull.

This scarlet sparrow looked miserable, and its injuries were incredibly severe. Terrifying symbols flickered by its wounds, and they were still destroying its life force.

The little guy didn’t dare act prudently because after this red sparrow dropped from the sky, it immediately burned the entire ground like a frighteningly high-temperature furnace.

“Little Red, what happened to you?” The little guy quietly asked.

The only part of the sparrow that weren’t red was its two eyes as it layed on the ground, and they were distinctly black and white. They were like gems, and they blinked at the little guy with superiority. The extreme bitterness and anger it showed made the little guy scratch his head in embarrassment.
