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

Chapter 632 Python Bone Dog, Crimson Flame Chicken, True Qi Chicken

Even Yang Zheng, the King of Liangzhou, was like a skilled cook without rice.

How easy is it to enable ordinary people to live a life where they have enough to eat and wear?

Where does the food we have to eat come from? Where does the cloth we have to wear to keep warm come from?

These things seem simple, but they are the biggest problem for Yang Zheng. Grain and cloth cannot be conjured out of thin air. They need to be cultivated and woven by the people. Unfortunately, the land in Liangzhou is barren. In addition, the war has caused a great reduction in the production of grain, silk, and cotton. Nowadays, the people of Liangzhou are not only unable to eat their fill and stay warm, but it is a blessing if they do not starve or freeze to death.

Knowing the hardships faced by the people of Liangzhou, Yang Zheng was particularly surprised by the existence of Chenjia Village.

It's no exaggeration to say that Chenjia Village, as described in Tang Qingxin's letter, seemed like a fairyland to Yang Zheng.

"Perhaps I should pay more attention to this village."

Yang Zheng muttered to himself.

Soon after, many spies set off from Liangzhou Prefecture, disguised as merchants or refugees, heading to Qingzhou. Their final destination was Chenjia Village, located in Taiping County.

In Chenjia Village, Chen Dao was checking on the animals' progress by the farmland. As expected, after feeding them python blood grass and python bone grass for a month, both Dahuang and Dahuang successfully advanced from fire dogs to python bone dogs, and their sizes also changed dramatically.

The two dogs, Da Huang and Er Huang, who already had the size of large dogs in their previous lives, became even larger after advancing to python bone dogs. At this point, even when they were on all fours, they were taller than Chen Dao.

It's worth noting that Chen Dao's height has increased dramatically since he started practicing martial arts. Now at 17 years old, he is already over 1.7 meters tall, while Da Huang and Er Huang are even taller than him. They're hardly dogs anymore; they'd be more like elephants.

In fact, when Dahuang and Erhuang successfully advanced to their current forms, they startled many villagers who were working in the fields.

There was no way around it; with its four limbs on the ground and a height exceeding 1.8 meters, Da Huang and Er Huang were almost like giant beasts from folk tales and novels, so it was no wonder that the villagers were frightened.

Fortunately, the villagers, seeing that Dahuang and Erhuang did not attack, quickly recognized them by their appearance, thus preventing a farce from happening.

Besides Dahuang and Erhuang, the village's two feathered chickens also completed their advancement and were named Chiyan Yi and Chiyan Er by Chen Dao.

Although they are now called Crimson Flame Chickens, they no longer look like chickens. They are more like divine birds soaring in the sky, with orange-red feathers all over their bodies, looking as if they are burning with flames.

Its size is enormous; when standing upright, it is over five meters tall and has a wingspan of up to fifteen meters, making it a truly colossal creature.

In other words, the villagers of Chenjia Village have become accustomed to the presence of large creatures in the village; otherwise, upon seeing Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two, they would probably have suspected that a monster had entered the village.

Of course, at this time, Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two rarely appeared in Chenjia Village anymore... or rather, most of the time they flew and hovered over Chenjia Village according to Chen Dao's instructions, in order to guard against any possible crises that might occur in Chenjia Village.

Only when they are exhausted from flying will Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two land. At this time, the people in the village who are responsible for feeding Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two will also give them food to replenish the energy they have consumed after flying for a long time.

For example, at this moment, Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two landed on the ground and cackled at Chen Dao, conveying their hunger.

Only then did Chen Dao realize that these two were actually chickens, just larger in size, and also had the ability to fly and control flames.

"Wang Wang Wang."

Dahuang and Erhuang also surrounded Chen Dao, making cheerful noises.

As they are responsible for guarding the farmland, they rarely have the chance to see their owner, Chen Dao. Therefore, Da Huang and Er Huang are always very happy whenever Chen Dao comes over.

"Big Yellow and Second Yellow, thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Dao patted Da Huang's deliberately lowered head and instructed Chen Cheng behind him, "Cheng-ge'er, bring us the grain and meat we brought."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng nodded, opened the wooden bucket he was carrying, and took out pieces of meat and grain to feed the four animals.

After successfully advancing, the diet of the two Crimson Flame Chickens changed. They not only ate grains but also meat. As for Big Yellow and Little Yellow, dogs are omnivores and can eat both meat and grains.

"Giggle!"

Upon seeing the food, Chi Yan Yi and Chi Yan Er let out joyful cries, stretched out their beaks to peck at the pieces of meat that Chen Cheng threw over, and swallowed them in one gulp, eating at a very fast pace.

Dahuang and Erhuang were equally impressive. They opened their mouths, bit into a piece of chicken, and then quickly chewed the meat and bones together and swallowed it.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Big Yellow and Little Yellow wagged their tails rapidly as they ate, expressing their joy.

Chen Dao, watching this scene, smiled.

During this period, not only did the animals in the village successfully advance, but Chen Dao's own realm also improved, rising from the fourth rank to the peak of the fourth rank. The next step would be the third rank realm, which Zhu Tu Fu, Qian Li Er, and others dreamed of.

Normally, a peak fourth-rank martial artist needs the help of python blood grass and python bone grass to break through to the third rank. However, for Chen Dao, the help of python blood grass and python bone grass is dispensable.

Just a few days ago, he had already cultivated a True Qi Chicken that could help martial artists increase their True Qi!

【True Qi Chicken】

[True Spirit Chicken Advancement Path Two: Feeding it spirit wheat continuously for one month will advance it to a True Spirit Chicken.]

【Special Features of the True Spirit Chicken: Its blood and meat are rich in spiritual energy, which can help people increase their spiritual power.】
