Chapter 584: Chapter 438: There’s a Reason Why You Were Almost Driven to Extinction

"Boss, it says those vultures are making them very uneasy. If you can’t drive them away, they’ll pack their things and leave."

Niu Daji quickly reported.

"Trying to cop out? I think you guys are trying to get yourselves reassigned to the sewer."

"The fisherman just released a batch of fish fry recently. Are you planning to give them a feast?"

Liu Zheng’s fierce gaze swept toward the flyman.

The flyman, startled, was about to take off when Niu Daji swiftly pinned it down.

"Caw caw caw!"

The flock of vultures in the sky let out discontented cries.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

The flyman issued a series of rapid buzzing sounds.

"Boss, it says it can’t help it either. The other members of its species aren’t as smart as it is and can’t understand what you’re saying."

"Even if it tries its best to soothe them, it can only keep them stable for a little while longer."

Niu Daji translated again.

"How much longer can you stabilize them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Five minutes."

Niu Daji translated.

"Ten minutes. If nothing is resolved after ten minutes, have your clan retreat immediately. When you come back here looking for me, I’ll take you to the sewer for a feast. Buffet-style."

He said domineeringly.

"Buzz!"

The flyman, upon hearing the last sentence, nearly popped its eyes out, with viscous drool dripping from its mouthparts.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

It cried loudly.

"Boss, it asks if what you said is true. You’re not tricking it, are you?"

"Trick it?"

Liu Zheng scoffed disdainfully.

"Tell it, forget eating buffet in the sewers; even if it wants to become a full-time employee of City Hall, I have the connections."

"The premise is that it proves its value to me."

"My boss is amazing."

Niu Daji straightened his posture, jutting his chin toward the flyman.

If this disgusting, smelly creature still doesn’t wise up, he’d be the first to charge in and knock some sense into it.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

The flyman stared at Liu Zheng with its red compound eyes for a few moments before raising one forelimb in a salute gesture.

"What did it say?"

"It said: ’Follow your orders, sir.’"

Niu Daji translated.

The flyman turned and ran toward its kin, rubbing its mouthparts with its forelimbs, then proceeded to smear saliva from its mouthparts onto every one of its tribe members.

Each flyman that got smeared with the saliva instantly calmed down considerably, copying the gesture to rub their own mouthparts.

But they didn’t truly neglect the danger; their red compound eyes still remained fixed on the bird flock in the sky.

If the pheromones ran out or the bird flock suddenly attacked, they’d flee in manic desperation.

And time was almost up—about the ten minutes Liu Zheng demanded.

So, he still needed to come up with a solution quickly.

"Is there any way to drive them away?"

Liu Zheng asked Doctor Nile.

Among everyone present, he was the strongest and had the broadest range of skills.

"If you’re talking about long-range area attacks, I do have such methods. But as for whether I can drive them away, I’m not sure—the strength of those strange birds remains unknown to me."

Doctor Nile said.

"What about you guys?"

He asked the others, though without much hope.

As expected, he received only negative answers.

"Bring that fly head over here."

Liu Zheng said to Niu Daji.

"Boss, there are so many fly heads. Which one should I call out?"

Minotaur asked blankly.

"The smart fly leader—the fly head. Got it?"

He replied, feeling exasperated.

"Oh, oh, got it. I’ll go now."

Niu Daji muttered as he walked toward the flyman.

"Might as well call it smart-head; so many fly heads, but only one smart flyman. Wouldn’t that make it easier to remember?"

"You punk, wanting to experience being kitchen ingredients, huh?"

Liu Zheng said sinisterly.

"No no no, boss, I was wrong, please don’t slaughter me. My flesh is gamy and stringy, terribly unpalatable."

Niu Daji begged frantically for forgiveness.

"Afraid now? Then talk less, work more. Haven’t you heard the phrase ’disasters come from the mouth’?"

He scolded.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Niu Daji made a zipping gesture over his mouth and didn’t dare mouth off anymore.

"How can you say that about it; your mouth is even more reckless than its."

Doctor Nile said pointedly.

Judging from the conversations he overheard, others would need to buy ten cemetery plots by now.

"Doctor, I’m disciplining my subordinate; would you mind not exposing me?"

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"Oh, so you realize I’m an elder now, huh? Then why can’t I say a couple things about you?"

Doctor Nile said shamelessly.

After all, Liu Zheng’s strength had grown too fast.

Soon, even boosted by divine power, Doctor Nile might not be able to defeat Liu Zheng.

Although Doctor Nile felt unwilling, he had to admit that Sasha marrying Liu Zheng was the best and most likely choice.

By then, with his weakness held in Liu Zheng’s grip, he wouldn’t be able to fight or curse him. If he didn’t toughen up now, where would his dignity as an elder go?

"Fine, fine, fine. I’m just a short-lived species; I won’t stoop to the level of you immortal types."

After exchanging some banter, Niu Daji returned.

"That fly head says it can’t leave its clan, but it mentioned the name of these birds is something stored within their bloodline."

"Apart from that, all it knows is that these birds are dangerous. It doesn’t know anything else."

The Minotaur relayed the flyman’s words.

"What kind of lousy bloodline memory is this? Just remembering a name, what’s the point?"

Liu Zheng complained.

"Given their brain capacity, remembering this much is already impressive. Anything more and they’d forget everything else."

"And anyway, did you think bloodline memory works like artificial intelligence, picking and choosing what to remember or not?"
