Fei Wenli pompously flew back to Fellyn.
When the fire crane left, it was a glowing red beacon of pride, but on its return it resembled a plucked chicken that had crawled up from a boiling pot. It shared the same flight pattern, yet elicited different emotions in people.
All the eyes in Fellyn were fixed on it, each gaze filled with incredulous amusement that was impossible to hide. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel_fіre.net
Everyone had seen the fire crane’s gallant swagger just beforehand, but now it was abruptly transformed into a plucked mess, the stark contrast left everyone feeling like they had broken out in goosebumps, which mirrored the fire crane’s newly molting appearance.
This was especially true when the fire crane, with its gleaming bare wings, clumsily landed in Red Earth Square as though it was drunk. It was a sight that made one’s hair stand on end, enough to even unnerve the God of War Kampas should he arrive.
It was impossible to describe how everyone felt at that moment. It was simply eerie.
Only Daisy and Ruona were exempt as they had been warned halfway by Liu Zhenhan. The initial chill they felt after first seeing the naked crane had diminished during the flight, and they had reluctantly accepted the sight. As knowledgeable members of the Dragon Clan, their understanding of the fire crane’s abilities ran deeper than others.
Before their lord could summon them, Elder Andulan led four apprentice monks and the Witch Doctor Nochadamas to Red Earth Square immediately. They began to treat the fire crane from every angle, while several Scepter Shamans followed, examining the shocking wounds on the fire crane’s body.
A large group of onlookers trailed behind them.
"Fei Wenli’s been poisoned!" the lord yelled as he dismounted the fire crane with a tumble. He tightly clutched a crossbow bolt as he shouted at Elder Andulan.
His burly arm was tightly wrapped in a linen cloth, soaked with fresh blood which made the fabric a dark, moist red.
The three madams teared up and touched Fei Wenli’s injuries with great distress. Even though the wounds were slowly healing, they felt devastated. Seeing Richard’s arm caused their tears to flow even quicker than the Sanggan River.
Even Gortani was wiping the corners of her eyes. Seeing such a beautiful and majestic crane turn into this state broke her heart. Of course, seeing Piegel, who may have the appearance of a pig, but not the temperament, injured also caused a twinge of pain in her heart.
Once the fire crane landed, it squawked loudly out of habit. This once elegant gesture was now hilarious, so much so that it amused some of the simpler-minded Orcs, such as Fat Luo. Despite his injury, he was still jumping around taking in the spectacle.
No one can really blame him. Seeing a giant bird, featherless with just a poof of hair left on its bare butt and a red crowned crest on its bald head, necking and posing, was indeed quite comical.
