"Jin seems to be very sensitive to this kind of sudden rejection... She did have the urge to kill me just now. I have to be careful in the future and try to reduce the number of times I reject her."
In fact, Yi Chen could fully understand Jin's sudden change of mood.
Most of the children who were abandoned by their parents in orphanages, especially those who were abandoned after they grew up to understand things, and even those who were abused in their original families, have certain "psychological taboos".
Once they touch the forbidden zone, their temperament will change drastically and they may even behave recklessly.
A boy who used to get along well with Yi Chen was asked by his other friends one day, "Can you stop being like a dog?"
He immediately threw the person who was speaking to the ground, bit off his nose and ears, and almost tore off his entire face.
It was later learned that when the boy was a child, he was often locked in a kennel by his parents and raised like a dog. He would be hung up and whipped if he was disobedient.
As for Kim, his situation may be even worse.
Yi Chen will definitely pay more attention to this and try not to touch Jin's "forbidden zone".
…
Now is the time for interrogation.
For this chicken that suddenly appears, moves very fast and can even talk, it is necessary to pry some important information out of its mouth.
The plants restrain the chicken's body and prevent it from escaping.
Yi Chen held its slightly fat body with both hands and quickly detected the pathological substance between the chicken's bodies.
The lesions mainly affect areas of the brain.
The brain of this black chicken is no longer limited to the cranial cavity, but continues to proliferate along the chicken's neck, making the brain fill half of the body cavity... The volume of the brain is comparable to that of a human brain.
This may explain why black chickens can speak and think.
In addition to the brain, the chicken leg muscles are very developed, and you can even see muscle structures similar to flight feathers on them.
If it weren't for someone like Jin who has reached the limit of coordination, ordinary gentlemen really wouldn't be able to catch up with it.
Aside from the brain and drumstick, the rest is normal and non-threatening.
This was also Yi Chen's first time to come into contact with sick animals, and it was surprisingly safe.
"Hey! Tell me more information quickly, or my friends will really kill you."
The black chicken was so frightened that its comb collapsed and its whole body was trembling. It tried its best to squeeze out human words:
"I know. I want to talk to you. We can talk about the forest, the village, and the church. Hehehe!"
"What mother-in-law? Where is she?"
"I'll take you there... Grandma is not under the control of the church. She lives alone in a very secluded place outside the village~Hehe!"
"Has she looked for other humans before?"
"No~ Grandma is very good at judging people. Those humans before could not have survived, but you are different! You easily killed those... freaks at the entrance of the village! Hehehe!"
Yi Chen did not continue asking questions, but turned to Jin who was waiting on the side.
"Jin, let this chicken lead us there... Even if it's a trap, it should be to your liking, right?"
Jin came over in an instant and gently touched the comb structure, which scared the black chicken so much that its feathers almost stood on end.
"Okay! Take us to your chicken coop right now... Don't lie to us."
that's all,
The plant roots put a noose around the chicken's neck like a pet, forcing it to walk ahead and lead the way.
Yi Chen also noticed that the direction the chicken led was completely opposite to the direction from which the previous sense of voyeurism came, which meant that there might be someone else who had been spying on the battle.
The closer we got to the "grandma's" residence, the more chickens began to appear in the surrounding woods. Some chickens could even fly short distances and flap their wings to land on very hidden branches.
Yi Chen regarded these chickens as his mother-in-law's spies.
If what Hei Ji said was true, the mother-in-law might prefer that 'Patient Zero' was not controlled and occupied an area in the woods alone.
She lives apart from the villagers, quietly observing the changes in the forest and the village... Of course, the relationship with the church cannot be completely ruled out.
The specific situation can only be determined after meeting in person.
soon,
The black chicken led the two to the so-called "mother-in-law's residence"
A huge tree with pus-filled and sap-oozing flesh. This tree is at least three times larger than a normal tree.
"My mother-in-law lives downstairs. Come with me."
The black chicken flapped its wings and leaped towards a crack between the tree trunks that was about half a meter long and was wriggling, as if it wanted to suck foreign objects into it.
Yi Chen did not hesitate. He took a step forward and put his palm against the tree trunk to widen the gap a little.
Wrapped in the coat, he squeezed into the sap and mucus.
There was actually a "slide" inside the tree trunk, which felt like a transition between flesh and plants, and it sent Yi Chen to a mysterious underground area.
After a spiral descent of about fifty meters, it finally landed between a pile of haystacks.
Soon a large number of yellow chicks gathered around, as if to welcome Yi Chen, the foreign guest.
Using the vision of Little Grape to quickly scan the surrounding environment,
This is a large underground space, hemispherical in shape, with the walls covered with chicken feathers of different colors, which seem to serve as a shield against the outside world.
Generally speaking, it can be divided into three areas:
Incubation Area
Iron chicken coops of different colors are stacked on top of each other and arranged along the side walls. A large number of eggs are being hatched in them. The chicks surrounding Yu Yichen come from here.
Nutritional Zone
The living roots extending from the giant tree are each embedded in the body of a relatively large broiler chicken, absorbing their nutrients. Once they are drained, the broilers behind will quickly take over.
Through such voluntary dedication, they provide nutrients to the giant tree, support this underground space, and ensure the safety of the chickens.
At the same time, the essence juice secreted by the giant tree will also be collected in the nutrient troughs. The hatched chicks can grow quickly by eating such juice and reach adulthood in a short period of time.
If it could grow up to be a talking, agile and sharp-eyed chicken, it would be free to do errands for the mother-in-law outside.
If they grow up to be ordinary chickens of little use, they will be labeled as 'broiler chickens' and join the queue.
Home Area
Located on the other side of the underground area.
There are all the basic household items such as stoves, dining tables, fireplaces, beds, etc.
A slightly plump old woman, wearing a floral smock and with a few streaks of gray in her short dark wavy hair, was sitting on a wooden chair.
The feet on the ground are not wearing shoes... or they can't wear shoes.
The structure of her feet was normal, but her toes were distorted, growing longer and covered in dark wrinkles, and also had sharp, curved claws.
In her arms, she was holding a chicken with golden feathers and a spherical body, and she was stroking it gently.
The back was also facing away, and he couldn't see her face clearly. This reminded Yi Chen of what happened in the attic before.
Just when Yi Chen wanted to take the initiative to say hello,
The 'grandma' turned around, and except for the red meat-like hanging thing dragging on her chin, her facial features were the same as those of a human, and she had a kind smile.
"Welcome to my chicken coop, just call me 'Granny Chicken'.
You are really unique. You can catch Xiao Pei, which is the fastest chicken here."
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen immediately untied the vines and allowed the shivering black chicken Xiao Pei to return to Grandma Chicken.
