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

Above the pool, mist is curling, as if you have stepped into a fairyland hidden in the extreme cold.

This is a natural hot spring.

In such a cold environment, taking a warm hot spring bath would be a very good experience.

Unfortunately, Xiao did not come here for traveling and fun.

Although I didn’t have time to soak in the hot spring, it was obviously more suitable to rest and think next to the warm hot spring than to be exposed to the cold air while holding a Red Star hand warmer.

He came to the edge of the pond, sat down on a big rock, and thought about the bottom line method that Lao Li mentioned.

The so-called fallen trees, as the name suggests, are fallen trees.

In such a large forest, fallen trees were not difficult to find. He had found some several times on the way here, but after clearing away the snow on the fallen trees, he did not see any mushrooms.

Obviously, that frozen ear doesn't refresh on every fallen tree.

……

He hated probability.

Just as Xiao was thinking about the problem, he heard a "plop" and the Chixing in his arms rolled over and fell into the pool.

He stared at the splashing water in a daze for a moment, bent down and was about to scoop it out, when at this moment, Chixing's head emerged from the water. Its two front legs kept stepping on the water, splashing water all over Xiao's face.

Xiao frowned and quickly stepped back. After wiping the water off his face, he found that Chixing had turned in another direction at some point and was staring blankly at the center of the pool.

"There's something under the water."

Xiao subconsciously followed Chixing's gaze. The water in the pool was clear and the bottom was visible. It didn't seem deep. Apart from the pebbles scattered on the bottom of the pool, there was nothing else to be seen.

"?"

Seeing Xiao's puzzled look, Chixing dived into the water, dived towards the center of the pool, and suddenly disappeared.

Looking at the pond that had returned to calm, Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is this... a special space in the pond?

Could it be that what Chixing was talking about was a treasure? !

Before, he was only thinking about finding the mountain temple, but now he remembered that Luo Xing once said that there were many good things in the mountains. Even long time ago, the immortals had fought here for treasures and opportunities.

Now that you have come...

Xiao suddenly became interested and was about to follow, but when he returned to the edge of the pond, he stopped.

That's not right. Generally speaking, there are guardian beasts around treasures. Wouldn't it be unsafe to rush over rashly?

Just as he hesitated, Chi Xing's cry for help rang in his mind.

really……

At this point, he didn't care whether it was safe or not. He went straight to the place where Chi Xing disappeared. He took a deep breath and dived down.

He just felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier, and the next moment, the figure of Chixing appeared in front of him. It had returned to its original size and was being held tightly by a black shadow.

When Chixing saw Xiao, he was so excited that he choked on a mouthful of water.

Even though he was prepared, Xiao still felt a chill when he saw the tentacles wrapped around Chixing. However, seeing Chixing choking on water, he didn't care about that and summoned the Kite Spear, throwing it at the black shadow.

It was inconvenient for him to move in the water, and if he went there himself, he might not be able to go there faster than with the gun in his hand.

The spear blade broke through the flowing water and easily cut the tentacles. However, when the kite spear flew over completely, the two tentacles quickly glued together and became intact again.

The shot was like a piercing shot into the smoke.

Xiao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this result, and his attack also attracted the attention of the black shadow.

The black shadow stretched out his hand towards Xiao, and at the end of his arm, countless tentacles grew out like a geyser. They twisted wildly and rolled towards Xiao.

After the failure of the previous attack, Xiao became alert. Facing the oncoming tentacles, he chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

In the water, Xiao's speed advantage was suppressed to the extreme, while the speed of the tentacles seemed unaffected. He was caught off guard and his calf was entangled by the tentacles, followed by the second, the third...

Until several cold rays flashed, cutting the tentacles and the water together.

Xiao quickly distanced himself with his gun in hand, and the tentacles that were about to reconnect to their broken arms missed. They stood up their front ends, like poisonous snakes, staring at Xiao with murderous intent.

Are these tentacles immune to physical attacks?

What about wind attribute attacks?

What about attacking the main body?

Xiao set his sights on the shadow.

With the witch armor covering his face, his aura suddenly increased greatly, but just when he was about to launch an attack, he suddenly felt his feet sink, as if a heavy tripod was hanging on him, pulling him and fixing him in place.

He looked down and saw that the tentacles that had remained on his body were still active. They gathered together at his legs, and then extended a small tentacle and pierced into the bottom of the pool, like an anchor dropped by a ship.

During the time he was delayed, the black shadow waved its arms, and countless tentacles formed an impenetrable net and pounced towards him.

Xiao fired several times in a row and finally cut off the connection with the bottom of the pool, but it was too late to dodge, so he had to turn the gun blade around and face the big net.

He didn't really want to get close to this web of tentacles.

At this moment, the thoughts from Chixing rang in his mind.

"Master, please use the power of father!"

"?"

Use the power of Red Mandrill?

Indeed, the destructive power contained in the Red Goblin's power is very overbearing. It will continuously destroy the objects it is attached to. Under intentional control, it can also destroy and spread at the same time, which is very useful in the area of ​​powerful flying bricks.

He could indeed be mobilized, which he suddenly discovered one day, but he was a person with a strong sense of boundaries, unlike a certain guy who often listened, watched, and used things randomly.

……

He felt very depressed when he thought that he would have to face the cruelty of probability for some guy with no sense of boundaries.

Isn't it too much for him to charge a little for helping out?

Although Xiao thought a lot, it was actually just a matter of a moment.

A stream of inky energy climbed up the spear blade, and with just a flick, the net quickly disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, like paper meeting fire.

In the distance, the black shadow's face, with only blurred features, showed panic. It tore off its entire arm and cut off its connection with the net.

Just when it thought it could escape, a flash of green light appeared, and the kite spear pierced straight into its chest. With the tip of the spear as the center, its body was quickly annihilated.

……

wow-

The surface of the lake shook and two heads emerged from the water.

Xiao wiped his face and shook his head.

The feeling of the tentacles accidentally touching his body just now was still vivid in his mind. He rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and walked towards the shore.

Red Star also followed closely behind Xiao, its hind legs stepping on the bottom of the pool and its two front legs stepping on the water surface, blasting the water that Xiao had just shaken off back onto his body.

Hearing the "pa pa pa" sound of stepping water behind him and handfuls of warm liquid being splashed on his head and back, Xiao twitched his mouth and took Chixing back to the spirit beast space.

When he has time someday, he will change the swimming posture of this stupid wolf.

After returning to the pond, Xiao did not go ashore directly. Instead, he chose a good spot to sit down and let the water flood over his chest.

Since I'm already down here, I might as well soak in the water for a while and sort out what I need to do next.

He took out a fan-shaped piece of black paper. This was what he picked up at the place where the black shadow was after he completely dispersed the black shadow. It should be the treasure that the black shadow was guarding.

It has a metallic texture and there is no energy fluctuation inside.

Xiao studied it for a long time but couldn't find anything fishy about the thin piece, so he simply put it away and planned to go back and ask a professional treasure appraiser when he was done.

Afterwards, he summoned Red Star again and asked about the confusion that had been in his mind ever since he got rid of the black shadow.

"How do you know that this power can defeat the shadow?"

As he spoke, a few strands of inky energy surged out from Xiao's palms.

At first, he thought that Chixing and he had the same idea, but Hongxiao's power was extremely effective in fighting Black Shadow. Obviously, there must be more reasons than he thought of.

Chixing squatted beside Xiao obediently and replied, "The existence underground told me."

An underground existence?

Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Mountain God?"

Chi Xing tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded repeatedly.

Xiao was delighted to receive Chixing's affirmative answer.

My contracted beast can talk directly to the mountain god? Why bother looking for pond mushrooms? Just ask the mountain god himself how to get to his temple.

Unfortunately, although Xiaobai was happy, this so-called communication dialogue was one-sided on the part of the Mountain God, and Chixing couldn't ask the Mountain God questions in return.

After the ups and downs, especially when he realized that he would have to face the cruelty of probability in the end, there was a moment when Xiao had the idea of ​​starting.

The comfort and relaxation in the hot springs were very suitable for fostering decadence, so this idea was retained.

Xiao took off his wet clothes, adjusted his sitting position, and immersed all parts of his body except his head in the water.

Just leave it there for a short while.

The heat from the water hit his face, and the water vapor seemed to condense on his eyelids. He felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Darkness surged in like a tide, quickly filling my vision.

A faint light came from somewhere, and in the center of the dim vision, a tall bronze door stood quietly.
