Chapter 2644 They're a bunch of lunatics
Thinking of that fire spirit chicken, the burly man felt a pang of heartache.
After all, this Fire Spirit Chicken is the strongest Fire Spirit Chicken they raise.
It has been cultivated over many years, and a lot of effort has been put into it.
This is why, even though the Fire Spirit Chicken occasionally escapes over the years, the burly man has never been able to bring himself to kill it.
Unexpectedly, this time when I went out to look for chickens, I didn't find any chickens, but instead ran into a group of lunatics.
Without saying a word, they swarmed forward, giving you no time to react at all.
Even now, the burly man has no idea what he did to suddenly enrage this group of lunatics; it's really strange.
After fleeing in disarray, the burly man finally caught sight of his own tribe in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Once we're inside the tribe, we'll be safe. With the tribe members there, those lunatics probably won't dare to cause any more trouble.
He rushed into the tribe in a panic and bumped into a burly old man.
And this old man was the chief of the tribe.
Seeing the burly man's flustered appearance, the old man asked in their language.
"Qi Taihang, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
“Clan Chief…”
Upon hearing this, Qi Taihang stopped in his tracks, but still looked shaken as he spoke.
"Madmen, chieftain, a group of madmen have come outside."
"A madman? What nonsense are you spouting?"
“I…I went out to look for chickens and ran into a group of guys I’ve never seen before…”
Under the old man's persistent questioning, Qi Taihang finally told the truth about what had just happened.
Qi Taihang still looked terrified when he recalled the scene where everyone rushed at him as if they wanted to tear him apart.
After listening to his account, the old man frowned slightly.
A group of creatures I've never seen before, they seem to be completely unlike any other beings in this world.
As if he had thought of something, a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes.
"Could it be someone from outside?"
Clearly, the old man knew more secrets than Qi Taihang, and had a deeper understanding of the connection between this realm and the outside world.
Through Qi Taihang's narration, it was quickly guessed what was going on.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Qi Taihang was also taken aback, as if he had been enlightened by a single sentence, and then said in disbelief.
"That's impossible, we're isolated from the outside world..."
"I can only say that those good-for-nothings probably failed to guard the gate. Where did you encounter these people just now?"
"About a thousand miles to the west."
Qi Taihang answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, the old man immediately gathered the strongest people in the tribe and, under Qi Taihang's leadership, set off in a grand procession.
If it's someone from outside, it means something has happened somewhere, which is definitely not good news for them.
After all, they had no desire to have any interaction with those acquired beings from the outside world; they were just a bunch of useless people who were not favored by heaven and earth.
With the tribal strongmen by his side, Qi Taihang quickly regained his composure and was no longer afraid.
He led everyone directly back to where they had been before.
Meanwhile, after grieving, Ye Changqing and his group looked at the spilled chicken soup on the ground.
Some people said with a hint of reluctance.
"It should still be edible after washing, right?"
"Why don't you lie on the ground and eat it?"
"How can we eat this? It's covered in dust."
"You freaking know that?"
Looking at the chicken that was completely filthy, everyone felt it was a pity, but they still had no choice but to give up.
The first time I encountered such top-quality ingredients, which I had never seen before, it was ruined before I even tasted it.
The thought of it made everyone's hearts bleed, and they regretted why no one had been watching over the stove earlier.
Who could have imagined such a thing? Besides, the burly man made his move without any warning, giving everyone no time to prepare.
Now that everything's ruined, even if we regret it, we can only give up.
"Never mind, maybe we'll run into it again later, we can try it then."
Without the delicious food, there was naturally no need for the group to stay any longer. After packing up, they continued on their way.
And it was this departure that led to everyone miraculously passing by Qi Taihang and his group, without them actually meeting.
Qi Taihang led his tribe's elite warriors, charging forward along the same route they had just taken.
The group, by sheer coincidence, headed towards the tribe.
The others were naturally unaware of these things, as this area was completely unfamiliar to everyone.
I had no idea where any place was; I was just going by instinct.
However, the Fire Spirit Chicken, which everyone had been longing for, never appeared again along the way.
Even the giant snake ingredient did not reappear.
What the crowd didn't know was that there was definitely no way that giant snake could exist here.
Because this place is very close to the tribe, fire spirit chickens often appear here, and the food of these fire spirit chickens is the food of the giant snake.
The two are natural enemies; where there are Fire Spirit Chickens, there are naturally few large snakes.
Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the instinct of all living things.
Having gained nothing along the way, everyone was extremely frustrated and became increasingly angry.
That huge pot of chicken soup was just spilled, damn dog.
In their anger, as they walked, the group suddenly spotted the outline of the tribe in the distance.
"Are there villages or towns?"
"Are they natives of this area?"
"It feels different from the outer heavens, and it doesn't seem like the style of the extraterrestrial demons."
Upon seeing the tribe appear in the distance, everyone was taken aback and dared not act rashly. After all, everything in this place was unknown, and no one knew what was inside.
How strong are they? Are there any dangers involved?
The two Heavenly Officials at the head of the group also watched the tribe that had come into view from afar.
That strange feeling returned; even though he had been using his divine sense the whole time, he still couldn't detect the existence of this village.
Before, they were living things, but now even these dead things can't be detected by divine sense?
There is some inexplicable power in this area that almost completely disables their divine sense for investigation.
It wasn't until they could see that anything was wrong.
This feeling left the two Heavenly Officials quite helpless; the failure of their divine senses had a significant impact.
Just as everyone discovered the tribe, Qi Taihang also led his people to the place where they had previously encountered Ye Changqing and his group.
But by then, everyone had vanished, leaving only the destroyed stove and the uncooked Fire Spirit Chicken on the ground.
Blood-red dust filled the air all around. A group of tribal warriors searched around but found nothing.
The elderly man at the head of the group frowned and said in a deep voice.
"A step too late? Can we follow the trail left behind?"
Upon hearing this, a burly man standing nearby nodded in agreement.
"Chief, they shouldn't have left for long. We can still detect their presence. We can give chase."
"My chicken!"
