Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the month, and the midterm exams began. The rules were similar to the previous semester. Since Xiao was the only Saint in the academy, he was given the privilege of skipping the preliminaries and promotions and directly participating in the finals.

Xiao had nothing to do during the first period of the exam, so he went to watch his roommate's assessment. Just as he witnessed Cheng Xiao's successful promotion, his communication stone vibrated, and it was a notice for a meeting.

It had been a while since he had been called to a meeting, and he was a little curious about what this time would be about.

When he arrived at the notified location, he found that the six people known as the Six Giants of Licheng were all present, which was very rare in the meetings he had attended before. In addition to them, there were two people he didn't know at the scene. However, he remembered the attire of the two people, which he had seen on the second god-level strongman he met.

President Qiao called him over and introduced the situation to him.

Two nights ago, the dean's communication stone vibrated for a moment. He recognized that the mark was left by Jiang Qing, so he called back, but the call did not go through.

"Jiang Qing, do you still remember him? He was the immortal who exchanged and learned from the top four students in the grade during the midterm exam last semester. You fought against him." President Qiao asked.

Seeing Xiao nodded, he continued with the introduction.

At first, the dean thought it was a mistake on the other side, after all, it was only a moment. But during the day, his right eyelid kept twitching, and he recalled that the only strange thing that happened recently was the call last night, so he told them about it. As it turned out, Jiang Qing could not be contacted.

They wanted to send someone to investigate the situation to avoid being in the dark. However, there was a barrier between Licheng and the sea outpost, and a token was needed to pass through, and only Yuanliu's dispatched personnel had this token.

Fortunately, two Yuanliu expatriates came to the city to rest yesterday. They came to the door and found an excuse to borrow the token, but the other party was very wary and finally had to tell the truth.

The two tried to contact the sea sentry, but the result was the same. However, they did not agree to borrow the token, but reported the situation to the higher-ups and then went back to report. However, they had just arrived in the city, so they had to rest for a while.

Just when Lord Kang was leading them to discuss a way to keep the two men here without offending Yuan Liu, the two men changed their minds and came to them in person.

President Qiao took a sip of tea and said, "They agreed to lend the token, but only to Saint-level people."

"We need to return the token when we go back to report. This is also to minimize the possibility of losing the token." A Yuanliu expatriate added.

"There are still many matters to be dealt with in the city. We can't spare two of us, nor can we let one person go to investigate alone." President Qiao spread his hands. "We were still negotiating with them, trying to get them to lower their demands, when they heard from somewhere that there was a Saint-level person in the city who had no position. In the end, they had no choice but to call you over."

"It's no secret that there are other saints in the city besides the six of you. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your poor confidentiality. As for the lack of positions, I guessed it." Another expatriate from Yuanliu smiled.

The midterm exam jumped directly to the finals. Xiao had nothing to do, so he accepted the task without saying much.

As for the potential danger in this matter... He is not weak to begin with, and at worst there is Red Mandrill. Even if he can't beat him, can't he still run away?

"With me here, you're still thinking about running away?" Hong Xiao said dissatisfiedly.

Xiao: Okay, I take back my last words.

The person who went on the investigation with Xiao was President Sugi. He had also worked with them during the midterm exams last semester. It was quite a coincidence.

"Be careful on this trip and keep in touch. If you notice anything wrong, do what you can and come back immediately if you sense any danger," President Qiao advised.

Two figures left Licheng and flew towards the sea.

Xiao could have just flown, and it would have been faster, but Guild Master Sugi couldn't fly and didn't have a flying mount. He also didn't want to carry someone with him when he flew, so he just followed by land.

President Shan glanced at the gray wolf under Xiao's seat, his eyes flickering, obviously recognizing something. Along the way, he wanted to speak several times, but when he saw Xiao's expressionless handsome face, he swallowed his words back.

What the hell? He is the leader of all the gangs in the city, and yet he is so nervous that he dares not speak.

The entire journey was speechless.

The two stopped.

There was nothing unusual in the scenery ahead, but Xiao felt that his spiritual sense was blocked by something. It should be the barrier that President Qiao and the others mentioned.

After informing Lord Kang of their location, they retracted their mounts and took out the token. The moment they passed through the barrier, Xiao lost consciousness.

"Hmm..." After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness slowly returned and a familiar voice rang in his mind.

"woke up?"

After his vision was restored, Xiao looked around and found some broken limbs and arms scattered on the ground.

"I woke up before you, and felt a little bored, so I went to find some fun." Hong Xiao's voice sounded a little guilty.

He forced himself to speak confidently: "These monsters attacked me first."

Xiao looked at the remains of the monster on the ground. Even though it was dead, he still sensed an ominous aura from it. This aura was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where it was.

He looked up and around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Were you also hit just now?" Xiao asked casually.

Hong Xiao was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "There won't be a next time."

"Don't be so hard on yourself." Xiao noticed the vibrating communication stone on his body. As soon as he answered the call, he heard President Qiao's relieved voice.

"Is that Xiao? What's the situation over there?" asked City Lord Kang.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Xiao briefly reported his situation to the other end.

"Where is Shan Xubei? We can't contact him. Is he with you?" Lord Kang asked.

"Did you see the person you were traveling with when you woke up?" Xiao asked in his heart.

"No, I didn't see it, and I didn't smell it." Red Mandrill replied: "The area we arrived at after passing through the barrier happened to have something generated, and it caused us to lose consciousness temporarily. For some reason, these monsters will not approach that area, so you don't have to worry about that guy being torn into pieces by monsters."

Xiao relayed what Red Xiao said. City Lord Kang and his men obviously had not expected this to happen, so they did not say anything. Instead, Yuanliu's men ordered Xiao to "bring back both tokens, whether alive or dead." Then the other side started arguing.

Xiao cut off the communication and probed around with his spiritual sense, trying to understand the enemy situation nearby, but he was stunned when he got the result.

If Xiao's detection results could be displayed in the form of a radar chart, then the red dots representing the enemies would be densely packed all over the map.

However, these monsters were only of the highest level, and even such a large number did not pose a threat to him. They advanced slowly, and even though Red Xiao openly killed a group of them, the noise did not attract their attention.

It feels a bit weird.

In the end, Xiao decided not to go back for the time being and try to find President Sugi.

He was flying in the air, and could directly see the huge group of monsters. After flying for a while, he noticed a place where there were no monsters. It must be the area mentioned by Red Xiao, so he chose to stay away from it.

This means that Hong Xiao ran quite far, and he didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The barrier was gray and he couldn't tell the time.

If Guild Leader Shan is in that area, he can only blame his bad luck. Xiao will never go in there again anyway. Even Red Xiao can't guarantee that nothing will happen to that place.
