Chapter 588 (1/2)

When Shao Xuan saw those birds fly over their tribe, although he couldn’t see clearly due to the distance, and Chacha was not there to help him, he went up to the watchtower to take a closer look.

Many flocks of birds had passed their area. Even though not all birds passed by here, the number of birds that passed by above the tribe was enough to startle and worry the people of the tribe.

Because they didn’t sense any other abnormalities, the tribal people could only keep a record of the birds each day and keep a close watch over the sky.

But when this flock passed by, Shao Xuan sensed something unusual. When the green figure was blended into the flock, Shao Xuan couldn’t tell it apart, but when it left the flock, it became apparent.

The green figure departed from the rest of the flock and flew towards the tribe. As soon as it did that, many from the flock also followed it and changed their directions, and then even more followed.

Some were as big as their leader, while others were slightly smaller in size and flew weakly. These ducklings were less experienced and stable as the one in front.

“That’s…”

Shao Xuan knew that there were other whistle towers in the tribe, and they probably noticed these birds approaching. Right away, Shao Xuan took out his wooden whistle and warned the others not to attack those birds.

When the green figure slowly descended, the people from the other watch towers also recognised them.

“Oh, look! Isn’t that our duck?!” One of the Flaming Horn warriors who came from the seaside exclaimed.

“What duck? Do you mean that duck flying over here?” Those soldiers who had never seen the ducks before were confused.

“It is! I recognise them!” Another person shouted.

Shao Xuan looked at those flying figures and whistled a familiar tune on his wooden whistle. When he was living on the other side of the sea, he had also blown the same whistle tune. As he blew the tune, he wondered whether the birds still remembered it.

The fatter ducks were at first hesitant, but after observing their surroundings vigilantly, they flew in circles in the sky, as if wondering where they should land. When they saw Shao Xuan, they immediately flew towards him.

Although Chacha was not there when these birds arrived, Gui He’s snow falcon was ready to attack those birds as they approached. Luckily Shao Xuan blew a whistle to warn the falcon before it attacked.

Shao Xuan had already confirmed that the one who led the flock was the same duck he caught when he returned from Gongjia Mountain. But when they were living on the other side, the duck was still quite fat. Now, it had become scrawny.

As the birds approached the tower, the green ducks continued to observe the warriors that they were unfamiliar with vigilantly.

This was an instinctive behaviour. The ducks were protecting themselves against strangers, and they even took a few steps back from the warriors who stood with Shao Xuan when he was at the top of the tower.

After some hesitation, the green duck flapped its wings and landed on the handrail. It called out to Shao Xuan.

“Quack.”

Although these birds sounded strange compared to other ducks, you could tell they were expressing their joy.

Quack Quack Quack

The other ducks followed tightly from behind and imitated their leader. They slowly landed on the handrail one after another.
