There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 252 The Chicken Kingdom for Warding Off Evil (Part 1)

In front of the Deer Man shop, Tianlu yawned boredly: "Bixie, what do you think Haochen has been doing lately? He goes out before dawn and doesn't come back until dark. He doesn't play with us anymore."

"I don't know, maybe he has his own things to do," Bixie replied to Tianlu's question while fiddling with a precious pearl.

Then Bixie flicked the pearl toward Tianlu, who tacitly opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.

Then Tianlu's eyes lit up: "Bixie, let's go out for a walk. Maybe we can find out what Haochen is doing."

Bixie lowered his head and thought for a moment, realizing that they had nothing to do at the moment, so it would be good to go out for a walk with Tianlu. If they were lucky, they could even give Tianlu an extra meal.

"Sure, Lu, go call Seventy-Seven that day, let's go out and have some fun together."

"Okay, I'll go find Seventy-Seven right away."

Tianlu rushed into the deer shop and found Seventy-Seven taking a nap.

"Seventy-seven, get up quickly, let's go out and play together."

"Hmm~ No, I want to sleep." Seventy-Seven flicked its tail sleepily. It had just fallen asleep and didn't want to wake up at all.

Seeing this, Tianlu seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Tianlu flicked its tail, gently brushing the tip of its tail hairs across Qishiqi's paw pads.

"Hmm~"

Seventy-Seven raised an eyebrow, feeling a tickling sensation on his paw pads, which made him kick his legs: "Tianlu, stop playing, I'm not going to sleep anymore."

Seventy-seven looked helpless. She had finally fallen asleep, but Tianlu woke her up. However, looking at Tianlu's smiling face, she couldn't get angry.

Tianlu casually put his arm around Qishiqi's neck, as if he hadn't been the one who disturbed Qishiqi's sleep: "Qishiqi, you're awake. Let's hurry up and go, don't keep Bixie waiting too long."

"Hey hey hey, really, I can't even sleep peacefully." Seventy-Seven licked his paws, then used the licked paws to wipe his face, as if he were washing his face.

Then he stretched and said, "Okay, let's go."

And so, Tianlu pulled Qishiqi out the door: "Bixie, we're here."

"Okay, let's go then." Bixie responded and led the way into the forest.

Bixie and Tianlu both tacitly acknowledged that Qishiqi was the youngest of their three brothers, so both beasts wanted to make a good impression on him.

Hunting was the best way to demonstrate their strength, so Bixie and Tianlu fully utilized their instincts as advanced hunters, carefully identifying the smell of food in the air.

"Tianlu, Seventy-Seven, I smell a fat chicken. Come with me, and I'll catch one for you to eat." Bixie looked smug, as if he had already caught a fat chicken.

Seventy-Seven looked at Bixie's serious expression and asked with some confusion, "Tianlu, it's just catching chickens, why is Bixie so serious?"

Tianlu remained silent, but his eyes were equally resolute as he stared ahead, his limbs tense, ready to attack at any moment.

Led by the evil spirit, a plump chicken appeared before their eyes.

Before Tianlu could even make a move, Bixie pounced on him, shouting, "Where do you think you're going!"

As expected, Bixie slammed the fat chicken to the ground: "Got it! Tianlu, Qishiqi, come and eat!"

Tianlu was somewhat disappointed. He hadn't expected that Bixie would beat him to it. It seemed that he would have to grab other food later in order to perform well in front of Qishiqi.

At this moment, the chicken under the evil-repelling claws, whose body had been trembling from being caught, suddenly stopped trembling.

The sound of the warding-off-evil made Xiaoji somewhat incredulous: "Goo... This, this sound is...!"

Xiao Ji turned to look at Bi Xie, and the familiar red figure made Xiao Ji excited: "Boss! Is that you, Boss?!"

"Boss? Could it be that you are..." Hearing the familiar address from beneath its paws, Bixie was equally incredulous. Could this fat chicken be...?

Before Bixie could speak, Xiaoji spoke first: "It's me, boss! I'm the Xiaoji you raised!"

"Chii?! You really are Chii!"

Bixie released his grip. He hadn't expected that the chicken he'd grabbed at random would actually be one of his subordinates. But shouldn't Xiaoji and the others be inside Tianlu's stomach? How did they get out?

"Little Chick, what are you doing outside? Where are the other chickens? Did they come out too?"

Hearing her boss's words, Xiao Ji immediately remembered the tragic fate of her companions and threw herself into Bi Xie's arms, sobbing, "Boss, they...they're all gone, boss, waaaaah..."

"Little Ji, don't cry. What happened?" Bixie gently patted Little Ji's head to comfort her.

"It's a long story, boss, sit down and let me tell you slowly."

Little Chick's voice choked with emotion as she said, "Since the leader left, the chickens have been living their lives in an orderly fashion."

"However, one day, red lava suddenly fell from the sky. The chickens suffered heavy casualties, and I was the only one who managed to escape."

After hearing Xiao Ji's story, Bi Xie was stunned. He never expected that his flock of chickens would suffer such a devastating blow after he left.

"Damn it, how could this happen? My flock of chickens is gone...?"

"???" When Tianlu heard Xiaoji mention red lava, he immediately felt guilty and turned his head away with a shifty look in his eyes.

Seventy-Seven noticed Tianlu's unusual behavior and poked him with her paw: "Tianlu, what's wrong? You don't look well."

"Haha, I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things." Tianlu changed the subject and said, "By the way, Seventy-Seven, what do you like to eat?"

After pondering for a moment, Seventy-Seven said, "I'm fine with anything, but what I really want to eat is the food made by the Four-Unlikes, it's super delicious."

Seeing that Seventy-Seven no longer asked about his expression, Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Seventy-Seven's words, saying, "Me too. Let's have the Four-Unlikes cook us a big meal tonight."

"Hmm." Seventy-Seven licked his lips, already thinking about what good food he could have for dinner.

On the other side, after Xiao Ji finished telling her own story, she looked at the somewhat sad Bi Xie and comforted him, "Don't be sad, boss. After I escaped, I formed a new clan. Please come with me, boss."

"Oh really? You're quite capable."

Bixie was surprised that Xiaoji had formed a new flock of chickens. Driven by curiosity, he winked at Tianlu and Qishiqi, as if asking if they wanted to go and take a look together.

Tianlu was a restless fellow. When he heard that Bixie's subordinates had formed a clan, he was also full of curiosity. Regardless of whether Qishiqi wanted to or not, he dragged him along to go.

Seeing that Tianlu wanted to go, Bixie felt a little excited, as if he wanted to show off his strength as the older brother to Tianlu.

Led by Xiao Ji, Bi Xie and the others arrived at a huge cave.

The cave was surrounded by a huge fence, and through the open gate, chickens could be seen living in an orderly manner inside.

"Boss, this is my new kingdom."

Little Chick shouted loudly towards the chicken kingdom inside the cave, "Little ones, come out quickly to welcome our boss!"

"Wow, wow, so many chickens!" Tianlu stared in disbelief. If he hadn't known that these were Bixie's men, he probably would have wanted to pack them all up and take them back to the Four-Faced Beast.

Seventy-seven's eyes also lit up as he looked at the flock of chickens, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth onto the ground: "So many chickens, how much delicious food can we make?"

Hearing Seventy-Seven's mutterings, Xiao Ji immediately looked at Bi Xie nervously: "Boss, if you want to eat, I'll go pick out a few of the fattest underlings right now, I guarantee you'll be happy."

"..." Bixie shook his head speechlessly: "Don't worry, we have other food."

The assurance from their leader put Xiao Ji at ease, making her think that their leader truly cared for them and was the kind of leader they should follow.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ji became even more respectful to Bixie, quickly arranging the chickens to stand on both sides before bowing to Bixie and saying, "Please, boss!"

Bixie nodded calmly, but the joy in his eyes was undeniable; after all, who wouldn't like having a group of obedient and sensible subordinates?

"Tianlu, Seventy-Seven, let's go in and take a look."

Tianlu was equally excited. Bixie's men were his own men, and with the help of the chickens, he could better patrol the Caiyun Mountain that he had finally managed to conquer.

Tianlu looked at the surrounding flock of chickens, as if he had thought of something, and whispered to Bixie, "By the way, Bixie, you said there are so many chickens, I wonder if any of them have seen Haochen."

"I don't know, but I'll ask Xiaoji later."

On the other side, Hao Chen, whom Bixie and Tianlu had mentioned, had finished his cultivation and was heading towards the Deer Man Shop looking exhausted, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.

After adapting to the sudden return of his memories, Hao Chen discovered that what Yin and Yang had left him was incredibly useful; perhaps he really could reverse the cycle of reincarnation.

"Before I leave, will I be able to see the four-legged creatures of this world again?"

Hao Chen recalled the forbidden secret technique in his mind, and his eyes became firm: "No, it's not a matter of whether I can or not, I must do it, because he is a Four-Faced Beast, he must live."
