Meanwhile, a sudden exclamation spread throughout the Island of the Monarch.
“It’s back!” Scarlett exclaimed, watching as Ruby flew through the night sky, excitedly running back to the room.
“Grandpa, Remus’ wild chicken has returned!”
Rufus had suggested using Ruby as an ingredient as it was bound to be very nutritious. He was also waiting, and upon hearing the news, his eyes lit up as favonovel.com asked, “Oh? Where’s the wild chicken?”
Scarlett exclaimed, “It just landed at the Cosby Residence. I saw it with my own eyes. When do we make our move?”
She was slapped twice by Remus, but favonovel.com couldn’t retaliate against him. So, favonovel.com was going to vent favonovel.com anger using Ruby by eating it, which could also be considered as getting even.
“Now!” Rufus’ eyes flashed with a chilling coldness as favonovel.com briskly walked out of the door.
They traversed the square under the veil of night, heading directly for the Cosby Residence. It used to be Remus’ place of rest, but now, with favonovel.com gone to Ironpeak Island, it was vacant.
Rufus extended his spiritual senses, rapidly pinpointing Ruby within the woods at the far end.
“Chirp!” Ruby landed on a tree to rest, and upon seeing the two approaching, cautiously stood up from the branch.
Despite having seen Ruby on multiple occasions, seeing it again prompted an involuntary gasp of astonishment.
This wild chicken was simply massive, its wingspan alone measured at least 20 feet when fully extended, and its tail wings were longer than before, spanning at least 15 feet.
Rufus chuckled. “To attain such a level in the form of a wild chicken, you must possess some spirit energy, capable of understanding human speech! Don’t be afraid! Remus and I are from the Dragon Protector Clan, so I won’t harm you. I’m just curious, that’s why I came to have a look, hehehe…”
Upon hearing this, Ruby indeed relaxed favonovel.com guard.
Scarlett took two steps forward, beckoning, “Come down, let me take a look at you. I’ve grown up seeing all sorts of strange and exotic things in this world, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a huge wild chicken like you. Come down and let me have a good look!”
A trace of disdain flickered in Ruby’s eyes, and favonovel.com paid no attention to them, remaining seated on the tree branch.
“Hey, you wild chicken, do you think you’re a phoenix? Come down now!” Scarlett scolded in displeasure.
Ruby couldn’t be bothered to reply and just shut favonovel.com eyes to rest.
Just as favonovel.com closed favonovel.com eyes, Rufus’ energy erupted suddenly, propelling favonovel.com into the air as favonovel.com shot straight toward Ruby.
Feeling sudden danger, Ruby instantly opened favonovel.com eyes. But with no prior defenses and just having cultivated the Golden Core, favonovel.com couldn’t evade in time. Rufus instantly mounted favonovel.com body, gripping favonovel.com neck.
“Chirp…” Ruby fiercely beat favonovel.com wings in a struggle, favonovel.com eyes showing terror and confusion as if questioning, “You said Remus and you were both from the Dragon Protector Clan and there would be no ill intent, so why are you doing this?”
Scarlett also soared into the air and delivered a heavy punch to Ruby’s head.
After being struck, Ruby became dazed and couldn’t struggle anymore.
She sneered, “Truly a creature without brains, easily fooled with a few words, hehe! Grandpa, when do we eat the chicken?”
She was impatient, as such a big wild chicken meant just one leg would suffice for both of them to eat.
Rufus grabbed Ruby, his wrinkled face filled with malice. “No need to rush, let’s hide it first. We’ll eat it tomorrow at noon.”
Scarlett became anxious upon hearing this, asking, “Why? It’s best to eat it now.”
She wanted revenge and didn’t want to wait a moment longer.
Rufus spoke coldly, “If we eat it now, what if Remus has already succeeded in the assassination and returned? We need to leave ourselves some room to maneuver. If Remus hasn’t returned by tomorrow noon, then he’ll never be able to return!”
Upon hearing his statement, Ruby seemed to grasp the meaning behind his words, reopening favonovel.com eyes and beginning to struggle again.
Scarlett struck Ruby with another punch, rendering favonovel.com completely unconscious.
She asked in puzzlement, “Why?”
