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

evening.

In a deep valley of Baihe Mountain.

There was a howling cold wind in the valley, and lush forests at the bottom of the valley.

A stream flowed through the bottom of the valley, with three or two tents pitched beside the stream. Some wood was piled in the middle of the tents. Luo Xing rubbed his hands together to form flames and lit them.

Lei Lei stretched out his hand to warm the fire and praised: "Brother Luoxing, you are really amazing. There is actually such a place on the mountain, and you managed to find it."

Luo Xing clapped his hands, and when he heard the praise, he smiled happily and said, "Luo Xing discovered this place by chance when he was patrolling the mountain. After that, he would come here to avoid the wind every night when he patrolled the mountain. When we set out, I saw that it was getting late, so I specially led everyone to this place."

"It took too long to prepare. I thought we wouldn't be able to find a suitable place to camp at night and would have to sleep outdoors in the cold wind. I didn't expect that this method would be the solution in the end."

Jiang Wei packed up the tools for camping and sat down by the campfire. He took out a pot from somewhere and looked at the two people present. "What do you mean, do you want to have ready-made or cooked dinner?"

"Falling stars are fine!"

Lei Lei propped up his head, his mouth slightly raised: "Where can we get the ingredients to cook a meal?"

"Falling Star can be found!"

"Then let's do it now." Seeing Luo Xing so enthusiastic, Jiang Wei finally made a decision. He looked up and looked around, and asked, "Why are there only two of you? Where is Doctor Mo?"

"Are you looking for Mo Zuche? He's over there. He's been fiddling around by the water since we set up camp just now. I don't know what he's doing." Lei Lei pointed in the direction of the stream and could see a Taoist figure squatting by the stream.

As if hearing someone talking about him, the figure stood up and walked towards the camp, holding a few lively little fish in his hands.

"There are actually fish here?!" Mo Zuche glanced at the stream with his peripheral vision, watching it sink into the depths of the woods, and muttered to himself in surprise.

Out of professional habit, when others were setting up tents, he took the initiative to take over the job of exploring the situation around the camp. It turned out that the place was unexpectedly "clean". When he explored the water's edge, he even found live fish in it, and it was not eroded or polluted.

You know, on the way here, the situation he found was not optimistic. There were signs of erosion everywhere, but the situation was still very mild and ordinary people could not see it.

Could it be that the erosion has not yet spread here?

Jiang Wei took the fish from Mo Zuche and was a little surprised: "Doctor Mo, you can actually do this?!"

The latter came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "It's just a personal hobby."

He looked at the pot on the campfire again: "If we only cook this much, it may not be enough to eat."

"It's okay, leave it to Luoxing!" Upon hearing that, Luoxing stood up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Luo Xing's disappearing back, Mo Zuche fell into deep thought.

The flame on this young man's body is extraordinary and can block the coldness in the mountains. It's a pity that it is not what he is looking for.

However, due to the interference of the fire, he had to find an opportunity to act alone.

Thinking of this, he said, "I'll go help too."

Lei Lei nodded: "No problem, we will take care of this place."

After a while, Luoxing brought back a lot of food, some of which exuded rich vitality and were obviously not ordinary things. Not long after, Mo Zuche also came back, but his harvest was much less than Luoxing's.

No one said anything to him. After all, looking at Luo Xing's performance, it was like he was back home here. There was no comparison.

Afterwards, under the pretext of helping out, Mo Zuche secretly checked the food ingredients brought back by Luo Xing. As expected, he found that none of these things were contaminated, which just confirmed his previous guess.

So why is this place not polluted?

After dinner, the four of them discussed the division of labor for night watch. Luo Xing and Mo Zuche were a group to guard the first half of the night, and Lei Lei and Jiang Wei were a group to guard the second half of the night.

It was not too late at this time. Except for Mo Zuche who left after whispering something to Luo Xing, everyone else was chatting around the campfire.

Jiang Wei complained, "I heard from the brothers who went deep into the mountains that it was very cold. Even if I awakened my fire attribute bloodline, it would be useless. So I borrowed some things from my friends to keep warm, but I didn't expect that they were of no use at all. I wouldn't have wasted time on this if I had known."

"Great, so it's because of you that we've been delayed for so long?!" Lei Lei showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and suddenly changed the subject, "But Brother Luo Xing is really amazing. I don't feel cold even when walking next to him, it's just that the wind is strong."

He nudged the person next to him with his elbow: "Hey Jiang Wei, I remember that you awakened the wind attribute bloodline, right? Why don't you play your role?"

Jiang Wei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think I'm the God of Wind? I can stop the wind whenever I want. Why would I hang out with you if I have that ability?"

"Ahaha, what if? People don't know their potential unless they push themselves." Lei Lei teased Jiang Wei and looked at Luo Xing again, "By the way, where's Doctor Mo? Hasn't he come back from the toilet yet?"

Luo Xing replied: "He just said he wanted to see if there were any medicinal herbs nearby, not to relieve himself."

Lei Lei nodded: "Yes, it's not easy for ordinary people to come to a place like this. Now that we are here, if we don't bring some good things back, we probably won't be able to sleep."

Luo Xing muttered quietly, "But Doctor Mo doesn't smell like an ordinary person."

"What?" Jiang Wei didn't hear Luo Xing's words clearly, so he asked.

"Well... Luoxing is very curious about something now."

"What's the matter?" Lei Lei also looked curiously.

"Why didn't you let me bring that thing with me when I was patrolling the mountain before?" As he said that, Luo Xing looked towards a tent.

The tent was filled with the instruments they brought up the mountain. Some were used to detect anchor points, and some were used to clean anchor points. They were using them all the way, and after finding a place to rest at night they were busy and had no time to clean up, so the instruments were just left there.

"What are you talking about?" Lei Lei followed Luo Xing's gaze and took out something that looked like a compass from the tent. "You went up the mountain alone at that time, so I didn't dare to bring it with you."

"Why?" Luo Xing asked curiously.

Lei Lei put the compass back and returned to the campfire: "Don't think that we had a smooth journey and didn't even see the shadow of an enemy. This is because we only encountered safe anchor points."

"A safe anchor point? Is there anything unsafe?"

"Of course, otherwise what do you think we are usually fighting against?"

Jiang Wei took over the topic and explained: "Some anchor points will be fine even if you clear them. Some anchor points will be fine if you just pass by them, but as long as you carry detection equipment, you will be besieged by a large number of enemies before you get close to the anchor point. You are alone on the mountain without help, and the general dare not let you take this risk."

"So that's how it is." Luo Xing suddenly realized, and he asked why General Ye was worried, couldn't he still go deeper into Baihe Mountain?

"Your question reminds me," Lei Lei put his hands together, looking very pious, "I hope we don't encounter any anchor points that will stress the enemy on the way."

Jiang Weichang hushed and said, "Say less and don't make a bad mouth."

"Why do you say that?" Luo Xing asked.

Jiang Wei shrugged: "Whether it's one person or four people, they are both helpless. It's just that the former is more likely to be destroyed than the latter."

"..."

While the three were chatting, Mo Zuche followed the path he had found while looking for food and came to the edge of the woods.

In front of him was a cliff that seemed to be several hundred feet high.

He joined the team this time, ostensibly as a medical officer, but in fact he was here to collect environmental data in preparation for the subsequent modification of protective clothing.

Of course, apart from these, he also has his own purpose.

In the afternoon, a small earthquake occurred in the mountains. He determined the scope of the epicenter through some means and planned to go over and take a look while the team members were still asleep.

He summoned a flying bird and flew towards the cold wind that was hovering above the valley, but not long after, he returned home.

With past experience, he successfully saw through the confusing wind and snow and always moved in the right direction, but... it was too cold.

He couldn't stand the low temperature on the mountain by himself. If he hesitated a little longer on his way back, he might not be able to come back.

But the trip was not entirely fruitless. Sufficient data needed to modify the protective clothing had been collected, and the direction of modification had also been determined.

After resting and making sure that his condition would not arouse suspicion, he returned to the camp, but found the atmosphere a little strange, so he asked: "What happened?"

Luo Xing looked at him: "Uncle Ye just sent someone to contact us and told us to tell him if we see Xiao in the mountains."

Lei Lei couldn't help but complain: "No, the general clearly rejected him, but he still ran to such a dangerous place alone? Brother Luoxing, has your friend always been so brave?"

Luo Xing thought about it and he really didn’t know whether Xiao was brave or not. After all, he hadn’t met him for a long time. However, he smelled quite strong, so he shouldn’t worry too much about his safety.

elf?

Mo Zuche felt that the name sounded familiar, and after some recollection he remembered that it was a young man with an extraordinary physique whom he had rescued not long ago.

It’s not quite accurate to say that he rescued them. To be precise, he only saved the boy’s contracted beasts, namely the Demonic Wolf and the Wind Scythe Weasel, and the boy... he recovered on his own.

What was he doing up the mountain?
