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

"Interesting." The man in black robe chuckled as if he had seen something interesting.

"?" The bird followed his gaze and saw only mortals lying on the ground.

"what are you laughing at?"

"I met a fellow who was a little special." The man in black robe did not keep the audience in suspense and gave the answer directly.

"?"

"You can't see it, he hides it very well." said the man in black robe.

"Then why can you see that?" asked the bird.

"If you can encounter and survive that situation, you can also see it. I will never forget that smell. At that time, I almost died. I was almost killed by him. If it weren't for..." The man in black robe did not continue speaking, but fell into memories.

"..." Although the other party did not say it directly, the bird still guessed some based on the description.

People who have awakened the blood of demons and monsters are no different from those who have awakened the blood of spirit beasts and divine beasts at first, and it is difficult to distinguish them. But at a certain stage, they will become easily crazy and finally become beasts who only know how to kill. After many studies, people finally concluded that their original souls disappeared and were replaced by the souls of beasts. The Ancient Cult has a way to solve this problem, so most of these people will choose to join the Ancient Cult. This is also the reason why the Demon Cult was like a weed and could not be eradicated before the return of the gods.

So this black-robed man is from the Desolate Ancient Cult, which is directly under the Demon God? Oh my god, am I walking into a trap? !

"So you want to take him back?" it asked with forced calmness.

"Take it back? What do you mean?" The man in black robe looked at the bird with some confusion, and then said: "I'm just curious whether this special thing is a disguise by him or it really exists."

“Master, it seems that the only ones who own this contracted beast are those on the wanted list…” The voice of the young man called Yu Bing trembled.

"God-slayer..." The old man squeezed out three words from between his teeth.

Hearing these three words, Bird secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were the enemy of my enemy, which, if rounded up, made them friendly forces.

"Do you understand?"

"If you've figured it out, then get out of here." As soon as the words fell, the blood pressure exerted on everyone was removed.

"?"

The black-robed man's action confused all the people and animals present.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then bowed, said "Thank you for your mercy, sir", and flew away with two disciples who had not yet reacted.

"This old man is quite bold. He actually dares to secretly pass on information in front of me." The man in black robe made a "tsk" sound.

"Why should we let them go?" Bird was puzzled.

"They don't have what I need, why would I kill them?" The black-robed man changed the subject and continued, "How about you, have you thought about the reward?"

"..."

"Please save Lord Shenhe!" The bird suddenly crawled in front of the man in black robe.

"Ok?"

The bird explained: "The gods covet the legacy left by our master. They occupied our home and imprisoned Master Shenhe and many of the divine guards. If you can rescue us and liberate our home, we will follow you, respect you, and obey your orders."

"These are all the intentions of Lord Shenhe." The bird added.

"You want me to go against the gods?" the man in black robe said in disbelief.

"You've done this a lot." The bird complained in a low voice.

"It's not that I can't agree to this, but not now. To save them now is like snatching their things right in front of them, which I can't do. But soon their attention will be attracted by other things, so there may be a chance."

"But forget about following me. I'm not interested in leading a force. I'll offer you another reward. Do you see that green-haired boy over there? What I want is for you to follow him."

"Why..."

The man in black robe patted the bird's neck and left a mark on it. It instantly understood his intention.

"Why not just leave a mark on the boy?" asked the bird.

"After all, it's someone else's territory. It's not polite to leave your mark on someone else's territory, and it's easy to be cleaned up by the owner." The man in black robe replied.

The bird nodded in understanding.

"Words are not enough, a deed is needed to prove it."

A piece of paper appeared out of thin air, and on it was written the content of their conversation. After the man and the beast left their own marks on it, the paper disappeared out of thin air again. They vaguely felt that if they violated the agreement, something terrible would happen.

The black-robed man looked at the bird, which flew in front of Xiao and said, "Young man, I see that you have amazing bones and you have the potential to be an emperor. I have decided to follow you and lend a helping hand."

elf:?

"Although I have been severely injured and have lost my ability to fight, I still retain the ability to fly and am extremely fast. I can serve as your mount."

Xiao: You are not as tall as me, and you are not fat either. No matter how you look at it, you can’t be trusted by others, right?

"Remember, my name is Lingxiao. I'm tired and I'll take a nap first." After saying that, it turned into an ordinary wooden sign and hung around Xiao's waist.

Xiao:? This is too weird! Also, don't just transform into something and hang it on me!

Since they were using voice chat within the team, Xiao didn't hear their conversation, so he was very confused about the current situation. Although "Xiao" felt that something was wrong, he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Are you done talking?" The man in black robe walked towards the crowd and said calmly, "Let's go after you're done talking. If you're any later, you won't be able to leave."

As if to verify his words, a terrifying aura came from afar as soon as he finished speaking. The man in black robe stood in front of the crowd and blocked the pressure for them.

"Thank you." The captain looked at the team members around him and said, "Those who are still able to move, follow me!"

The captain left with six or seven people. Not long after they left, a destructive aura came from behind, and everyone except Xiao lost their ability to move again.

……

When the breath of the twelve divine beasts came, Leng Guangyu immediately led his men to evacuate in the direction away from the breath, and at the same time ordered the two people who were gathering intelligence to wait in a safe place to see if they could pick up any survivors.

When the god-level battle broke out, Leng Guangyu ordered the two to retreat quickly. On the way of retreat, Xiao caught up with them. They did not ask where the others were going, but just quietly brought Xiao back to the main force.

The large group continued hunting for three days. After making sure that the aftermath of the battle had completely subsided, Leng Guangyu, under the guidance of Xiao, brought a few people to the battlefield. The area was bumpy, with jagged rocks and traces of fire all over the ground.

The body would definitely not be found, so they were only here to look for relics. After cleaning up the battlefield, Leng Guangyu led the team on the road back to the city.
