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

three days later.

Xiao woke up slowly and stretched himself. He felt refreshed after a good sleep.

Just then, his stomach started to growl.

In addition, he also noticed that the spirit beast space was empty.

Although he was basically the only one who had to bear the responsibilities when encountering danger, and these two contracted beasts had not played much of a role, they were his own creatures after all, and he didn't know how many dangers were lurking nearby, so he still had to get them back.

He said good morning to the two characters in his mind, and the green Xiao who was taking a nap also said "good morning" in reply. The red Xiao did not respond to him, probably because he was still sleeping.

Afterwards, he went to the kitchen to look for some water but found none.

This inn had been abandoned for quite some time, and the only things left in the kitchen were a few kitchen utensils left behind by the previous owner and blackened rotten leaves.

There was only Xiao's scent in the inn, but he detected the scents of other people outside the inn. They must be here to monitor him.

He pushed open the door of the inn, ignored the gazes in the dark, and left.

Just as he was leaving, a slight noise was heard from a corner outside the inn.

"General, he is about to go out. Do you need me to stop him?"

"..."

"Yes."

When Xiao walked some distance away, a man walked out from the darkness and followed him cautiously.

"Ok?"

Xiao noticed the tail behind him, but ignored it. After all, he was not going to do anything shameful.

During the time he walked such a distance, he had already determined the location of his contracted beasts through the connection between him and them, so he summoned Qing Yi and flew high into the sky.

Flying is much faster than running.

Not far away, the man who had followed Xiao all the way here fell into silence as he looked at the black spot that was quickly moving away in the sky.

Let him, a saint-level person who can't fly, chase a king-level person who can fly?

real or fake?

……

Before Xiao found his contracted beast, he first found a pool of water.

He put his hand into the water, and a biting chill spread along his arm to every part of his body. Unlike the feeling when fighting against the ice-attribute awakener, this chill actually made him feel refreshed, just like waking up from a winter nap and scooping up a handful of cold water to wash his face, and the remaining sleepiness was instantly swept away.

"Gu..."

Just at this moment, the belly showed its presence.

In that case, let’s eat first.

Xiao took out some easy-to-handle ingredients from his storage bracelet. Just as he cleared a space to prepare cooking, he heard a commotion nearby.

"Chase them quickly, don't let them run away!"

“This thing can really run.”

"Pay attention to the direction of the drive, don't drive to the wrong place."

"Can you guys throw the ball more accurately? I gave you so many chances, but you didn't hit it once."

"That guy has a wind sickle weasel on his head, it's like he has eyes on his back, he's always able to hide."

"Isn't the Wind Sickle Weasel used by the Adventure Association to detect danger? How can a low-level spiritual beast have such ability?"

"What low-level spirit beast? Its realm is higher than yours, but it's still lower-level!"

Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of soldiers chasing a gray-red wolf with a weasel lying on the wolf's head.

The bag in the wolf's mouth swayed up and down as it ran. It looked heavy, and it must be filled with a lot of things.

Xiao looked carefully and realized that this was his contracted beast. Why was it being chased by the soldiers?

Looking at the bag in Chixing's mouth, he wondered if he had stolen something from someone else.

This chase had been going on for quite some time, and the lack of progress had made the soldiers a little irritable. Seeing this, the squad leader of this team stood up.

"Stop arguing, and quickly take them down. If we let them run around in the security zone, and something happens, none of us can afford it."

"Yes!"

Looking at the red star running wildly in front of him, the captain wondered, "This is strange. The beast tribes nearby should have been taken away by the beast king. Where did they come from?"

Soon, Chixing also discovered Xiao. Its eyes lit up and it ran even faster, like an arrow shot from a bow, and crashed into Xiao's arms with a "swoosh". Xiao staggered and almost fell into the pool behind him. The wind sickle weasel on its head also took advantage of the situation to grab Xiao's clothes and climb onto his shoulders.

The furry head nudged in Xiao's arms, then Chixing took a few steps back, circled around Xiao's legs, knocked down the temporary stove that Xiao had just built with his butt, and finally rubbed Xiao's palm with his head.

Xiao took the bag from Chixing's mouth, opened it, and found some fruits with vitality inside.

There were some water marks on the fruit, I don't know if it was the dew this morning or Chixing's saliva.

It is a spiritual material.

"Did you go to pick them?"

The wind sickle weasel on his shoulder made a "ka ka" sound, and when the sound reached Xiao's ears, it turned into words that he could understand.

It said that they found Luoxing while Xiao was resting and asked him to take them up the mountain to collect spiritual materials, wanting to give Xiao a surprise. However, Xiao could not withstand the extreme cold and strong winds at high altitudes, so he only collected this much.

While Kazekazuchi was explaining, Akahoshi kept nudging Xiao's hand with his nose, wanting him to touch him again.

Xiao couldn't resist Chixing's enthusiasm, so he obeyed its wishes and rubbed its head: "Thank you."

"who are you!"

A low growl was heard, and Xiao shifted his gaze from the Wind Scythe Weasel and looked at the team that was chasing his contracted beast.

"You are?"

The chief stepped forward, but did not introduce himself. Instead, he sternly asked, "Are these two your contracted beasts?"

"Yes." Xiao nodded.

"Where are you from? Don't you know this is a restricted area?"

"A nearby inn." Xiao paused and added, "One of your generals placed me there."

"Inn?" The squad leader looked at the team members behind him in confusion and said, "What inn? Stop talking nonsense and tell me the truth. Where are you from?"

"..."

"You said a general had arranged for you to be nearby. Which general was it?"

Hearing this, Xiao fell into memories.

The general who arranged him to stay in the inn did not introduce himself, but Luo Xing seemed to call him "Uncle Chongguang"?

"Chongguang." He replied.

"General Fang?" The soldiers looked at each other with hesitation. They seemed to have heard news that the general had received someone recently.

So your last name is Fang?

Xiao groaned.

After a brief discussion, the soldiers decided to take Xiao away to verify his identity, but just as they surrounded him, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Everything he said was true."

The man who had been trying to track Xiao had arrived here at some point. His chest was heaving violently, and his words were accompanied by heavy gasps.

Seeing him, the soldiers immediately stood up straight.

"Lord Captain!"

Xiao turned his head and recognized the man.

The man sent the soldiers away and said to Xiao, "I am Li Xuezhi. I believe you have already discovered my presence. So I won't beat around the bush - where are you planning to go?"

"Looking for water."

"Looking for water?" Perhaps she didn't expect to get this answer. Li Xuezhi was stunned for a moment, and her tone was a little more apologetic. "We were negligent."

A breeze blew across the lake, bringing chill and fog.

The wind sickle weasel's body suddenly froze, and then it grabbed Xiao's hair at the temples.

Li Xuezhi said: "It's not safe outside. I hope you can return to the inn."

"Is it also unsafe in the military's restricted area?" Xiao asked back.

He found that Li Xuezhi's attitude towards him was very polite, which was a world of difference compared to the team of soldiers just now.

Li Xuezhi replied: "There is no absolutely safe place in the world, but we have set up many defenses around the inn, which can guarantee your safety to a certain extent."

"What happened during the three days I was asleep?" Xiao took the hair back from the weasel's little claws and looked around vigilantly.

"No, we just contacted General Red Butterfly and got some information from him." Seeing Xiao's reaction, Li Xuezhi also glanced around, but did not find anything suspicious.

Xiao pondered for a moment and asked, "Has General Geng contacted your people?"

"Yes, just yesterday." At this point, Li Xuezhi's expression suddenly became serious, "He said that the Level 3 Envoy was paying close attention to you for some reason."

In fact, the one who received special attention was not him, but Hong Xiao. Even a long time ago, this envoy had tried to steal his girl.

Xiao suddenly felt a little emotional. He also came out of the Eclipse Dream World and was still verifying his identity, but Geng Kongyu could already help him prove his identity.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Xuezhi said, "With the ability you have shown so far, you will receive the same treatment when you serve under the Marshal in the future."

“Do you have to worry about your identity being impersonated?”

"Yes, as for the reason, it is not something that a mere lieutenant like me can know."

Just as Xiao was about to ask something else, a feeling of palpitations suddenly surged into his heart. Amid the cry of the wind sickle weasel, he grabbed Li Xuezhi's arm with one hand, lifted Chixing's neck with the other, and quickly dodged to the side.

The next moment, a strong shock wave burst out from where he was originally standing and blew him away.
