In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 342 Murderous Intention

Chen Dao suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with seriousness.

The Fire-Patterned Chickens are quite intelligent. Under Chen Dao's instructions, they are scattered throughout the village and are responsible for protecting the village. The Fire-Patterned Chickens rarely make a sound in the dead of night.

Therefore, the moment Chen Dao heard the Fire-Patterned Chicken's call, he immediately realized that someone or a wild animal had entered the village.

"Madoka."

Chen Dao called out softly, and Xiao Yuan immediately crawled out of the quilt and jumped onto Chen Dao's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dao tiptoed out of his house and walked toward the direction from which the sound came, holding a torch.

At the same time, Chen Da, Chen Jiang, Chen Zhong and other members of the guard team also got out of bed and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, looking on alert.

"call!"

At the village entrance, Wang Wu, who had once again parried the Fire-Patterned Chicken's attack with his knife, was panting heavily. He had completely lost the will to fight. One Fire-Patterned Chicken had already left him covered in wounds. No matter what, he could not possibly defeat so many Fire-Patterned Chickens.

"We must retreat first."

Wang Wu turned to look at Wang Zhuang and Wang Nian, only to see that the two were completely surrounded by the nine Fire-Patterned Chickens, and they had no chance of escaping.

"Wang Zhuang, Wang Nian, I'm so sorry!"

A hint of apology flashed across Wang Wu's face, but he didn't hesitate any longer.

"Explosive blood!"

Wang Wu gave a low shout and pressed his thumb hard against his heart.

"Dong dong dong."

The next moment, Wang Wu's heart began to pound violently, rapidly pumping blood and qi throughout his body, granting him even greater strength and speed.

"Get out of my way!"

Wang Wu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. In his blood-boosting state, he forced the Fire-Patterned Chicken that was attacking him to retreat repeatedly.

However, Wang Wu, who had forced the Fire-Patterned Chicken to retreat, had no intention of pressing his advantage. Instead, he slipped away and ran out of the village in a flash, disappearing completely from the Fire-Patterned Chicken's sight under the cover of night.

"Giggle."

A hint of confusion flashed in the Fire-Patterned Chicken's tiny, bean-sized eyes. It couldn't understand why that two-legged creature could suddenly unleash such immense power and speed.

However, because Chen Dao's orders to them were to protect the village's safety, the Fire-Patterned Chickens did not choose to pursue, but instead turned around and joined the other nine Fire-Patterned Chickens in attacking Wang Nian and Wang Zhuang.

"Damn it, these beasts are so troublesome!"

Wang Zhuang, who had already entered a state of explosive blood flow, had his chest heaving violently, and blood was constantly seeping from the wounds on his body, soaking his clothes and dripping onto the ground.

Wang Nian was also in extremely poor condition, his body covered with bloody holes pecked by the Fire-Patterned Chicken and wounds from its claws. At this moment, he felt... the strength in his body was constantly draining away.

At this moment, Wang Nian realized that he and Wang Zhuang were probably not going to survive. Even though they had activated their Blood Explosion state, they still couldn't break through the encirclement of ten Fire-Patterned Chickens.

"Just what kind of enemies has the Wang family provoked?!"

Wang Nian's face was full of bitterness. Three sixth-rank martial artists, who were powerful enough to influence the situation in Taicang County, couldn't even defeat a few beasts from Chenjia Village. How terrifying was this?

"Fortunately... Wang Wu escaped!"

Wang Nian's thoughts ended there. A long beak of a fire-patterned chicken pierced his throat, shattering his throat bones and ending his life.

With Wang Nian's fall, Wang Zhuang, who was surrounded by ten Fire-Patterned Chickens, also completely lost the ability to resist and was attacked to death by the ten Fire-Patterned Chickens.

A moment later, a faint light spread, and Chen Dao, holding a torch, looked at the two corpses that had been attacked and killed by the Fire-Patterned Chickens, his brows furrowed.

From the outbreak of the battle to his arrival, less than a quarter of an hour had passed, which is less than 15 minutes.

It may seem short, but it has actually been a long time. You should know that Chen Dao has kept a full 10 Fire-Patterned Chickens in the village. Each Fire-Patterned Chicken has the strength to rival a fifth-rank martial artist. If an ordinary person were to enter the village, they would probably be killed by the Fire-Patterned Chickens before they could even last a few breaths.

The fact that these two people who broke into the village were able to hold out for a quarter of an hour means that they are at least sixth-rank martial artists!

No, that's not right!

Chen Dao suddenly looked at the footprints on the ground. The footprints were very messy, indicating the intensity of the battle just now. However, Chen Dao's eyesight was very sharp, and he could see three footprints of different sizes among the messy footprints.

this means……

There were at least three people who broke into the village, not just two!

"Brother Dao, what happened?"

"Brother Dao, are you alright?"

"Brother Dao, has someone broken into the village?"

"..."

The belated guards looked at the corpse on the ground with solemn expressions. In the dead of night, someone had actually tried to break into the village, which was undoubtedly an extremely serious matter.

"fine."

Chen Dao shook his head and instructed everyone, "You all take care of the body."

Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action, moving the two bodies together and burning them.

Chen Da asked in a deep voice, "Brother Dao, who are these people?"

Chen Dao remained silent, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

Among the enemies he provoked, there was only one force with a sixth-rank martial artist: the Wang family!

"The Wang family."

Chen Dao silently recited the name in his heart, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

This Wang family is truly persistent. Back in the county town, a spoiled brat suddenly appeared and provoked me, then they sent martial artists out of town to hunt me down, and finally they even sent martial artists to launch a sneak attack on Chen Family Village...

At this moment, Chen Dao's murderous intent towards the Wang family reached its peak.

…………

…………

The sneak attack by the three martial artists from the Wang family did not have a significant impact on Chenjia Village, which continued to develop in an orderly manner.

Before we knew it, it was mid-February.

Chenjia Village has once again ushered in a bumper harvest this month.

Of course, it wasn't the wheat in the field that was ripe, but the cabbage.

Generally speaking, the cabbage in Xia Kingdom takes about 50-60 days to mature, while the cabbage seeds provided by Chen Dao mature even earlier, and can be harvested in just over forty days.

At this moment, in the farmland, the women of Chenjia Village were bending over to pick cabbages, while Chen Gou, Wu Han, and their partners were waiting anxiously by the edge of the field.

Cabbage is obviously not something that can be harvested all at once like grains, because it is difficult to preserve. Therefore, under Chen Dao's arrangement, the mature cabbages in the fields are not all harvested at once, but are harvested in batches, with one batch sold before another is harvested, in order to avoid waste caused by improper preservation.

Wu Han and Chen Gou were the vendors in charge of selling the goods.

"Rice Brother".

Standing next to Chen Dao, Chen Gou said with a beaming smile, "The cabbages in our village are growing really well."

Wu Han, who was not far away, nodded repeatedly as he listened. The cabbages in the fields were lush and green, and looked very appealing.
