Chapter 352 (1/2)

Meanwhile, the sight before Fei Longwei and Wei Shang made them felt so baffled that they almost spat out their blood!

”Cuck! Cucko! Cuck...”

Rows of chickens were lined up like the military and stood still as Cucko gave them a motivational speech and went around checking their form, pecking them in the neck if they got it wrong.

In total, there has to be more than a hundred chickens here and their built was bigger than the normal poultry chickens, their eyes glistening with the bravery of barbarians from the mountains and their fur colorful like the rainbows of the seven sky!

It was a marvelous sight!

”When in the world.. are there so many chickens here?” the two of them stared with widened eyes in disbelief.

Individually, these chickens were nothing much as they were all in Qi Condensation realm, but in groups, they were extremely lethal just as what had transpired the day before, where most of the bandits were eliminated by their unsuspecting ambush!

Still, they could not help but to be shocked on the actual numbers that went with them. To think that it was this many.. no wonder these chickens practically just popped up out of nowhere with every single ambush!

Shaaa!! Shaaa!!

After what seemingly was a complete debriefing regarding their mission, the chickens flapped their wings and flew into the horizon with the agility of an eagle before disappearing, sending shivers down the spine of both Fei Longwei and Wei Shang.

”C-Chickens can actually.. fly?”

Trodding with its chest puffed up, Cucko walked towards them before speaking directly into their mind.

”I just sent my men to become the lookout for every mile in a radius of 500 meter each from this village. They should be able to inform us on anything suspicious!” Cucko said.

”...” Fei Longwei and Wei Shang.

Why are we not surprised that its now able to speak telepathically into our mind with ease?

”Benefactors, a-are those chickens your pets- ah!” the Village Head got poked in the eyes by Cucko before he could even finish his sentence and was rolling on the ground in pain.

He was initially elated to see so many healthy chickens suddenly appearing en masse in his village right after the massacre and thought that it was a gift from the heavens to appease his depressed people.

Who could have thought that those chickens were actually formidable to the extent that they could even fly?

Additionally, most of the villagers also saw this mystical phenomena as well and their mouths were wide agape, full of disbelief!

If they hadn't seen this scene with their very own eyes, they would not have dared to believe it to be true even if they were slapped silly!

BOOM!!

”Cuck! Cuck! Cuckoo!!!” Cucko angrily cucked while stomping its feet, creating a huge depression on the ground!

Knowing that Cucko was angry after being called as a pet, Wei Shang helped the Village Head to stand up and fed him a recovery pill before explaining, ”This chicken, eh- I mean Cucko, is not our pet, but our comrade and part of the team..”

He then continued to explain that their rescue effort was only possible largely due to the help of Cucko and his henchmen in their ambush.

After knowing this, the Village Head immediately prostrated on the ground while crying emotionally, ”Ohhh Great One, please forgive this lowly one for besmirching your title! We foolish peasants do not know the heights of heavens and had unknowingly wronged you despite the great lengths you did to save us! Please cease your anger!”

The rest of the villager immediately followed suit and prostrated on the ground as well.

”Great One, please forgive us!” they cried out feeling guilty, making Fei Longwei and Wei Shang speechless once more.

Hais!

A few moments later, Fei Longwei took a group of men to bury the dead while Wei Shang took another group of people to assess the extent of damage done to the village and salvage whatever they have left that could be used. Meanwhile, most of the women was left to tend the wounded and some were tasked to cook food in order to recuperate their strength.

...

”I thought that our Jiu Empire was doing quite fine.. but to think that a village like this would be so vulnerable to a bunch of bandits and were killed like ants..” Wei Shang said with gritted teeth right after having finished his task.

Fei Longwei closed his eyes as he meditated beside him before replying, ”This is the reality of it. Only cultivators like us would truly have the chance to defend ourselves from harm in this world.”
