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

Xiao's consciousness slowly returned, and the first thing that caught his eye was the meat roasting on the fire, which was emitting an enticing aroma. He looked into the distance and saw that the sky was slightly red.

It's almost dawn.

Xiao moved his body, and the same severe pain came as on the day he first arrived. At the same time, some memories that he had never experienced appeared in his mind, and these memories were telling him what "Xiao" had done while he was unconscious.

"You smashed the things I was escorting?!" Xiao was so shocked that he even forgot the pain.

"Xiao" said calmly: "You should take care of yourself first."

"Uh..." Xiao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that his other self was still a little concerned, Xiao explained: "That thing affected your mind, so I came out to tear it apart."

"Won't you be affected?" Xiao was a little confused.

"No, I just think it's a bit noisy. If I can be affected, then it won't just be the two-star beasts that are attracted."

"Hmm..." Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but digested the extra memories. Then he found that he had a new skill that could burn his own blood to gain stronger power. Wait, burning blood to increase damage? Could it be the Jingyao Nuo Dance?

"Oh? You actually figured out this move by yourself, although it's not the complete version... Is it because of that thing at that time? Things become more interesting." A hint of surprise can be heard in Xiao's words. Obviously, this was also unexpected to him. It was beyond his expectations.

"Hmm?" Xiao didn't understand the meaning of the words.

Xiao did not continue the previous topic: "Are you hungry? The meat should be cooked. Try it and see how it tastes."

Xiao didn't pursue the matter any further, nor did he have the energy to do so. He took the meat off, cooled it a little, and started eating.

"It tastes good." Xiao praised it and raised his doubts while eating: "But I remember that there was no spiritual beast that could threaten you along the way. I only fought to exhaustion and was not injured by any enemy. Why is your body injured like this now?"

"This body is too weak to bear my strength. This will happen if I use it for too long."

This answer surprised Xiao: "Is it possible? Where is this place?"

"do not know."

"Ugh! Cough cough cough! Uh hiss..." Xiao was choked when he got excited, and his whole body was in pain from the coughing.

"Then how do I go back?" he asked after he recovered.

"Don't you have a communication stone? Just ask someone to pick you up." There was a hint of disgust in "Xiao"'s tone.

"Oh, that's right." As soon as Xiao took out the communication stone, it lit up.

"Xiao?" President Qiao's anxious and uncertain voice came from the communication stone.

"exist."

"How's the situation over there?" The person on the other side seemed relieved.

"I'm lost." Xiao replied.

"Can you find any special landmarks? I'll send someone to find you," said President Joe.

"..." This is a bit embarrassing. I'm almost disabled now. Every time I make a bigger movement, I feel a tearing pain and I don't have much strength.

"It's not convenient for me to move." Xiao replied.

"Are you hurt?... Stay where you are. I'll find another way to find you."

"Ah."

After eating and drinking, I relaxed and felt sleepy. After all, I had been fighting all night and only slept for a while, so I was still mentally sleepy.

"Tired? Then go to sleep. There are no threats around here."

"Um……"

The light of the morning sun hit the boy, illuminating the traces of battle all over his body. The sun slowly climbed up his face, illuminating his slightly furrowed brows. The red eyeshadow became more glaring in the orange-red light. A red and white weasel climbed onto the boy's shoulder and licked the crystals from the corners of his eyes.

……

When Xiao woke up again, he had returned to his temporary residence. He moved his body and found that he had recovered almost completely. When he got up from the bed, he found that his clothes had been stripped off and his body was covered with bandages.

The wind sickle weasel appeared out from somewhere, stood beside the clean clothes placed beside the bed, and looked at Xiao.

Xiao touched the weasel and found that its fur was still a little wet, it seemed that it had just taken a bath. The clothes were so tight, it was a miracle that it could get into them.

When Xiao put on his clothes, the weasel climbed up the cloth onto his shoulders, its slightly wet white fur rubbing against his cheek.

"Do you like this position so much?" Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Xiao left the room and after taking a few steps, he ran into President Qiao who came to see him.

When he saw Xiao, although Qiao Huanxi already had some understanding of his recovery ability, he was still a little surprised.

"How do you feel?" Qiao Huanxi asked.

"It's fine now." Xiao replied.

Qiao Huanxi nodded and continued, "I had your previous suit washed and will send it to you when it's dry. How do you feel about this one?"

"It's a little big, but otherwise it's fine."

"Time is a bit tight, and I can't find more suitable clothes for the time being, so I can only let you make do with it. But there is a long way to go, and I will ask someone to tailor a set for you in the future."

"Thank you."

"Okay, now it's about this mission." Qiao Huanxi changed the subject and took out Xiao's adventure badge and a storage bracelet.

"Although the item you were escorting was damaged, you still managed to save it from the divine beast, and it still has research value, so your mission is considered successful. Here is the reward for this mission, which contains 500 spirit stones and some other items. Remember to return the storage bracelet to the association after the items are transferred. In addition, in view of your outstanding performance, your rating will be directly upgraded from beginner to intermediate."

Xiao took the item and looked at the two stars on the badge and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his work was not in vain.

"Okay, I've finished explaining the association's affairs." Qiao Huanxi took out something that looked like a token, one side of which had a dragon carved on it.

"This is the reward I promised to give you before - the token to enter the Dragon Bone Abyss."

Xiao took the token and looked at it carefully. It exuded an extraordinary aura and seemed to have a protective effect.

"The Dragon Bone Abyss will open in four months, and then you can go in to find your own opportunity." Qiao Huanxi said.

"Thank you, President."

"By the way, why don't you take your spirit beast back to the spirit beast space, but keep it outside?" Qiao Huanxi asked the weasel who was standing on Xiao's shoulder and looking around.

“……” Although… this is not my spirit beast.

"Stupid, haven't you realized yet that I have already made a contract for you, otherwise it would be so well-behaved?" The voice of "Xiao" appeared in his ears.

"..." Xiao's mind moved, and the wind sickle weasel on his shoulder disappeared out of thin air.

"That's all. You can arrange the rest of your time by yourself. I have other things to do, so I won't talk to you for long."

"President, walk slowly."

……

Xiao left the Adventure Association. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west. He didn't have any extra energy to waste, so he went straight back to the dormitory.

This time all three roommates were there.

"We were just talking about you, wondering where you had been these past two days and how we didn't even see you." Guan Muzhe said.

"You actually changed your clothes. Hmm... they seem a little bigger." Cheng Xiao looked at Xiao who had returned, and couldn't hide a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Did you get into trouble outside? Why would someone come to ask for your information?" Li Jiangchuan asked.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao immediately became alert.

"But the first person he asked was actually Senior Fu, and the senior simply fooled him by saying he knew nothing about the question. Senior Fu holds a high status in the hearts of the students, and after the news spread, everyone also followed suit and said they knew nothing about the question. Those people didn't find out anything, and it made me laugh to death." Li Jiangchuan said cheerfully.

Could it be someone from Jiang Qiu Society? Have they not given up yet? Or is it because I stole their spirit beast?

Xiao was thinking when Guan Muzhe's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"We were originally planning to go out for team building this weekend to welcome our new roommates, but Xiao disappeared. It's my fault for not telling you in advance. In that case, why don't we go for team building after the midterm test? I told you in advance this time, so don't disappear again, Xiao."

"Midterm?!" Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He just arrived and hasn't learned anything yet!

Cheng Xiao came out and explained the testing method, and Xiao finally felt relieved.

Simply put, the midterms and finals here are different from those in the previous life. Students only need to find their areas of expertise and perform well. They do not need to be proficient in many subjects, as long as they are excellent in at least one subject.

Ah, that's great.

So, everyone started a new topic.

"Although the goals I set when I entered school have not been achieved, I will still pursue the path of cultivation." Li Jiangchuan said first.

"As for me, it should be alchemy. I just happen to awaken the fire attribute, and the others are a bit difficult for me." Guan Muzhe said.

"I choose to make talismans. As for Xiao, he should also be practicing." Cheng Xiao said.

"Ah."
