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

"Come back so soon?"

Seeing that Xiao's soul disappeared not long ago and reappeared, Green Xiao asked.

"Ah."

Xiao told Green Xiao about the conversation he had just had with Red Xiao.

"It's able to recover on its own? That's good." said Green Goblin.

In the following time, Xiao rested while being on guard against the possible arrival of the messenger.

Although the other party suddenly stopped trying to catch him for some reason, but from Mo Zuche's description, he had destroyed an important anchor point. It was hard to say whether it had aroused the hatred of the envoy towards him again.

For safety reasons, they should have gone down the mountain overnight and retreated to a place where they could get support, but the coldness of Baihe Mountain was difficult to withstand by cultivation, and it was even colder at night.

Now Chixing is badly injured and can no longer act as a mobile heater. It would be unsafe for him to rashly travel through the mountains.

So they had to wait until the long night passed and the temperature rose slightly before setting off.

Nothing happened during the night. When the sun rose above the mountainside and the scorching sunlight slightly reduced the chill in the wind, Xiao took the Red Star and the Wind Sickle Weasel back into the spirit beast space and followed Mozuche out of the tree hole.

On the way, they met the three Luoxing people as they wished.

"That's great, Xiao, you're fine!" Luo Xing said happily.

"Judging from your complexions, are you injured?" Mo Zuche asked.

"I was affected by the explosion and got a little injured, but it's nothing serious." Jiang Wei replied.

"Thank you for your concern." Xiao thanked them.

"Not at all."

Lei Lei waved his hand cheerfully, then nudged Jiang Wei with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Hey, did you feel that the wind stopped after they came?"

"Yeah... indeed."

Hearing their conversation, Xiao was slightly stunned, then he realized that he was no longer cold, and he and Luo Xing smiled at each other.

Xiao: Great, it’s a new mobile heater!

Luoxing: Great, it’s a wind barrier!

The five of them continued to descend the mountain together.

On the way, Lei Lei complained about why Ye Lingchuan didn't let Xiao go up the mountain with him, so that he wouldn't have to drink the north wind all the way.

Finally, when the sun was setting in the west, I could vaguely see a wall of wind not far ahead, and on the other side of the wall was a large area of ​​green.

"Ah - we are finally leaving this crappy place!" Lei Lei let out a long cry, then turned his face and said seriously to the others: "No matter what, we are also friends who will live and die together. When we go back later, don't tell others about the bad things I said to the general."

"What bad words?"

An abrupt voice interrupted the conversation. Everyone turned around and saw that Fang Chongguang had already stepped over the wind wall and was walking towards them with snow covering his eyebrows.

"Nothing, nothing." Lei Lei's eyes darted around, not daring to look Fang Chongguang in the face.

Fang Chongguang did not dwell on this issue any further, but looked at Xiao: "The general has something to discuss with you."

"Oh." Xiao responded and walked quickly towards Fang Chongguang, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

After putting some distance between themselves and Xiao, the others felt a slight breeze and began to quicken their pace.

The moment they crossed the wind wall, the group felt like they were stepping into a huge steamer and immediately began to sweat profusely.

Jiang Wei was the first to react.

"Luoxing, quickly put away your skills, it's about to get cooked!"

"oh oh!"

The falling star no longer acted as a human furnace, and the temperature around it suddenly dropped.

At this time, Xiao finally remembered what was wrong.

It seemed like he had sneaked out without telling Meng Jijun.

This is so embarrassing, I was caught red-handed.

He looked at Fang Chongguang's back again.

It's strange, why does he look like he had expected it and is not at all surprised by my appearance?

Fang Chongguang arranged the four people except Xiao to go to a nearby camp for inspection and reporting. Finally, his gaze returned to Xiao's face.

"what happened?"

"You don't seem surprised to see me."

"That's it." Fang Chongguang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, tilted his head, and motioned Xiao to follow.

"When they found your whereabouts, they reported it to the general. Instead of worrying about this, you should think about how to explain it to General Ye when you meet him later."

At the entrance of the camp, a mount that looked like a white leopard with a pair of eagle wings on its back was already waiting.

"We will ride the Aofeng beast for the rest of the journey," Fang Chongguang arranged.

After saying goodbye to Luoxing, Xiao jumped onto the back of Aofeng Beast and found that the space was very spacious and could accommodate at least five or six more people.

The camp on the mountain was some distance away from the military camp outside Baihe City. The Aofeng Beast was like a snowy meteor flying in the opposite direction, with the lush green forests passing quickly beneath it.

On the back of the Aofeng beast, the two of them sat in silence, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Of course, Xiao didn’t feel embarrassed, he could chat with Green Xiao in his mind.

That is, talking to oneself.

Fang Chongguang was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to find something to talk about, so he remained silent all the way.

The familiar military tent gradually came into Xiao's sight. He thought back to the last time he saw it, when he was pretending to be a flying mount and sneaking out of the city.

At that time he threw the person on his back off, hoping that it didn't cause any commotion.

Finally, the Proud Wind Beast landed at the gate of the military camp, and a soldier on duty came forward to greet it.

Xiao jumped off the back of the Proud Wind Beast, but Fang Chongguang did not follow.

"I have to go back to the camp to guard it, so I won't accompany you to meet the general."

After saying that, he rode away at high speed on the Proud Wind Beast, leaving behind only a cloud of flying dust.

Led by the soldier on duty, Xiao came to the outside of the general's tent.

"The general is still dealing with important matters, please wait." said the guard at the entrance.

While Xiao was waiting, some intermittent sounds came out from the tent.

It seemed that what was discussed inside was not some important secret, so Ye Lingchuan did not try to hide it from others. With Xiao's hearing ability, he could hear the conversation inside quite clearly.

"General, we found out that the person who sent the mount to the post station was just an ordinary citizen."

"Who asked him to deliver it?"

"He doesn't know either. The other party has covered his face."

"... Let's check again."

"Yes!"

"..."

Hiss, are you talking about how you sneaked into the Spirit Beast Station?

At this moment, a voice from inside, "Come in," interrupted Xiao's thoughts.

The person who had just reported on his work left the tent, and Xiao just happened to walk in from outside.

Xiao glanced at the person who left, then turned back and looked at Ye Lingchuan who was sitting at the table.

"No need to ask them to investigate. I know who asked that person to send the suspicious mount to the post station."

"Oh? Do you want to say it was you?"

"Yes."

"Where's the evidence?" Ye Lingchuan tapped the table with his fingers, "I don't remember you having a contracted beast with a bird."

"That suspicious mount..." Xiao hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Well, believe it or not, it was me."

"..."

"Okay, okay." Ye Lingchuan stood up and walked slowly around Xiao, "So, this is how you hid it from me and went into the mountains, right?"

"……Feel sorry."

Ye Lingchuan threw his sleeves and turned back to his seat: "We'll talk about your trespassing into the restricted area later. Let's finish other things first. We've already contacted the person you asked us to contact."

Xiao recalled for a moment: "You mean you contacted Huang Guxuan?"

Ye Lingchuan nodded slightly, took out a communication stone and slapped it on the table: "He said, use this to contact him."

Xiao stared at the communication stone on the table in a daze.

He originally wanted to ask Huang Guxuan about how to cure Red Mandrill, but now that Red Mandrill’s crisis has been resolved, it seems that there is no need for this contact?

Seeing that Xiao didn't move and was still standing there, Ye Lingchuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

As if by magic, Xiao picked up the communication stone.

Soon, a familiar voice came from the other end of the communication stone, and it sounded like the environment the other party was in was a bit noisy.

"elf?"

"Yes."

"They told me, you were looking for me?"

“…It has been resolved.”

"Is that so? If you have nothing else, hang up first," Huang Guxuan said as he glanced at the three god-level warriors with sullen faces on the other side of the communication stone. "My opponents think that I am disrespecting them by doing this."

"……Have."

"Ok?"

Xiao seemed to have made up his mind and lowered his voice: "You have seen the other me. What should I do if he hurts his origin and cannot heal himself?"

A huge whistling sound came from the other end of the communication stone. When the noise died down a little, a reply came: "You've asked the right person. Hunt down the demons and absorb their cores, and you will be able to..."

boom--

A loud explosion completely covered up Huang Guxuan's voice. It sounded like the battle over there was very intense. It took a long time before his voice came back.

"Hun Yan said there is another way, which is to 'eat' the envoy. This 'eat' doesn't seem to be 'eat' in the physical sense. If you need it, I can bring it to teach you after I finish the work at hand."

"Is it okay now?"

"I'm dead."

Without waiting for Xiao to ask anything else, the communication stone fell silent. He stared blankly at the stone in his hand, as if he had not come back to his senses.

Is Huang Guxuan being hunted by the gods again?

Didn’t the people from “Yuanliu” say that the matter had been settled?

For some reason, after hearing the two methods Huang Guxuan mentioned, the uneasiness he felt when he saw the recovered Red Xiao once again emerged in Yu Xiao's heart.

Did something similar really happen in the illusion of searching for the mountain god?

……

After watching Xiao leave, Red Xiao did not move, but instead started talking to himself on the spot.

"You see, he didn't see it at all."

"Why, you lost to me so many times that you have to rely on deceiving idiots to gain confidence?"

“His trust never was.”

"Oh, he's a fool, so you're going to trick me as if I were a fool too?"

"You should thank humans. If they hadn't used despicable means to steal power from the King, I wouldn't have been born, and you wouldn't have been able to discard unnecessary emotions and return to the right path."

"Why do you care how I walk? So noisy."

"Are you still being stubborn? You are obviously also [doubting]."

"I didn't realize this was your trick?"

"But you know that he won't come again to appease your [doubts]."

"..."
