The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 62 Saving A Damsel In Distress

Zhou Yu’s name had been spread around by the children in Luhua Primary School. All the teachers there knew that Luhua Village had a strange person, who was not only able to get some very good animated movies, but also very good at handcraft. It was said that he had made a fortune from developing a game. However, his lifestyle didn’t seem to be luxurious. Moreover, he even built a beautiful flower greenhouse.

Today was Saturday. It was another movie screening day. Several intern teachers, who had just been assigned to Luhua primary school from other places, wanted to come and see the movie for a while now. There were not many recreational activities in the village. Every weekend, those teachers would always go to the city to have some fun. But this time, they decided to experience the night of the countryside.

However, in fact, the night in the countryside was not as beautiful as what people wrote in literary fictions. At least, there were not many wild dogs in the countryside in s. If it was more ferocious kind, it would bark at anyone. Those who accidentally provoked those types of dogs, would often end up badly.

These city dwellers were exactly the type of people, who did not know how to deal with those dogs properly. When they met a barking wild dog, they screamed and ran away in panic. One of them even turned around and threw a stone at the wild dog. It immediately provoked the wild dog to chased them madly.

MuXiu was one of the teachers that were being chased. She was also the most unlucky one. The wild dog just kept chasing her. Even if her friends, who had escaped from the chase, wanted to save her, they could not outrun the dog to rescue her. Fearing to come forward, they could only shout at one side, trying to scare off the wild dog.

However, it was too late for them to do anything. The face of MuXiu, who was both frightened and exhausted, was already turned pale. She picked up a stick in panic, attempting to make the last struggle. The wild dog on the other side was grunting and might attack at any time. The fierce gleams in its eyes weakened MuXiu’s both legs, and she could not even hold the stick in her hands properly.

At this moment, MuXiu really hoped that someone would come out to rescue her like what Prince Charming did in the movie. However, this was a small village, there was no Prince charming here.

But, there was a Knight Mount Diandian.

Just when MuXiu shouted and waved her stick in panic, something that she didn’t expect happened. A strangely armored chicken flew down from the sky, clucking, and croaking. As it landed in front of her, it instantly began to fight the wild dog.

A fight between a chicken and a dog instantly broke out.

Normally, when a Chicken fight a dog, the chicken would not have any advantage. However, Diandian was not the usual chicken. It was a fully armed Knight Mount. And it had been thoroughly educated by the most orthodox Code of Chivalry. Seeing a woman in danger, it was impossible for it to let it go.

The wild dog was obviously confused. Perhaps it had never seen such a strange chicken. But anyway, chickens are always chickens, what could they possibly do to it.

The wild dog didn’t believe that it would be defeated by a chicken at all. Therefore, it charged towards Diandian ferociously.

Diandian moved around the wild dog’s body unhurriedly to dodge the wild dog’s attack. There was no sign of it wanting to attack anytime soon. After all, in terms of body shape and strength, Diandian was not able to compete with the dog. Only by taking the opportunity to launch a lethal strike could it win.

Diandian’s guerrilla tactics were very successful. It was always able to go around the wild dog and pecked its back one or two times. The steel beak was very powerful, every peck would make the dog bleed. But this kind of minor wound was not fatal enough. Instead, it provoked the wild dog even further, and the wild dog began to attack even more ferociously.

MuXiu was so frightened that she almost felt like she was in a nightmare. But why there was a strange chicken in her nightmare and it was fighting such a big wild dog. And the most strange thing was that it even had the upper hand of the fight.

At this time, her friends, who had been separated from her while escaping, came back with some other people. Those were the old people who lived in the village. Hearing that a teacher was being chased by a wild dog, they hurriedly brought some brooms or sticks and other things to help.

However, when they arrived at the scene, everyone was stunned, because they saw Diandian was standing on the back of the dog steadily. Its steel claws firmly embedded in the skin and flesh of the wild dog. Before the wild dog could fight back, it was pecking the head of the wild dog quickly. The wild dog was obviously injured. Drooping its ears, it was whining constantly, as if it was begging for mercy after the defeat.

‘Holy shit!’ Even the local villagers had never seen such a situation, let alone MuXiu, and these city dwellers.

“This chicken is really something else. How did Boy Yu train it? It’s even more fierce than cockfighting chickens.”

The one who said it was Uncle Qing, the owner of the fish farm, who also kept a number of chickens in his house, but none of them could match Diandian. If there was such a leader in the chicken flock, who was both obedient and able to fight, then there was no need to worry about the wild animals from the hill running around to harass other chickens.

Just this special armor alone was not something that could be made by ordinary people, let alone some other things. The ordinary chickens would only be struggling very hard to break free when they were put on those items.

After chasing off the wild dog, Diandian did not return. It continued to patrol other places. The old village chief was amazed by Diandian’s behavior. But soon, he went to comfort those frightened female teachers. Fortunately, although they were frightened, no one was injured. Diandian appeared right on time.

After a while, they finally calmed down. Then MuXiu asked the village chief, “Elderly Zhou, who raised that chicken? I want to thank the owner personally. It would have been a miserable day for me if it hadn’t helped me.”

Apart from thanking the owner personally, MuXiu also wanted to see who raised a chicken as a warhorse. By just looking at the saddles on the back of the chicken, It was very easy to tell what the owner was thinking. However, she was still confused that what kind of people could possibly ride it. Based on its size, perhaps only the Lilliput could ride it.

It was truly strange.

The old village chief smiled and then took those teachers to Zhou Yu’s house. At this moment, the children were checking each other’s homework. When they saw their teachers coming, they all stood up and greeted their teachers. Several naughty children, who had been fighting and chasing each other earlier, also stopped fighting each other and stood quietly aside, as if nothing had happened.

“Boy Yu, Boy Yu, come out.”

After the old village chief shouted, Zhou Yu came out of the house. He was dazed for a second when he saw a group of young men and women outside his yard. There weren’t many young people in the village. It was a bit strange to have so many young people appeared here all of a sudden. Did they all just come back early for the Spring Festival?

“They are the teachers of Luhua Primary School. They are here to thank Diandian for its help.”

The old village chief’s explanation made Zhou Yu a little confused. What kind of earth-shaking things did Diandian do, that it would make so many people come to thank it? And according to what the old village chief said, it seemed like it just happened no long ago.

It was at this moment, the hero Diandian finally came back. And the way that a hero entered the scene would always be ostentatiously attractive and eye-catching. It directly flew over the wall of the yard. Diandian’s feathers were not cut off. So the two or three meters wall around the yard was not difficult for it to fly over. Every time when it needed to go out, it would fly over the wall directly, because the lazy host – Zhou Yu, would not get up so early to open the door for it.

“Diandian, come here.”

As Zhou Yu shouted, Diandian walked over obediently. This made MuXiu and others’ eyes wide open with shock. This chicken was so smart that it could even understand the owner’s words like a dog.
