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

In the forest, there was a large camp with bright lights, and the camp was filled with the strong aroma of medicine. Around the camp, there were many figures patrolling with torches. Under the effect of candlelight, three figures were reflected on the largest tent in the camp.

The Lord of Hecheng brewed two pots of tea and respectfully handed them to the two people sitting opposite. The two took the tea and behaved in a way that was somewhat like a Taoist priest.

"This Beast King is so cunning that he actually let the other divine beasts under his command hide and show weakness to the enemy, hoping to lure us into a trap and annihilate us in one fell swoop. It's all thanks to the two immortals, otherwise so many of us would have died there." The Lord of Hecheng spoke angrily, and then looked at the two people in front of him with gratitude.

An immortal raised his hand modestly: "You are too polite, Lord City Lord. We have a cooperative relationship and will not stand by and watch someone die. However, according to the agreement, we only need to deal with the beast king, but now we have spent our energy to deal with an enemy outside the agreement, so the price..."

"What price does the Immortal want?"

The two looked at the Lord of Hecheng with approval: "The whole body of the beast king belongs to us. In addition, there are some other divine beasts. We want half of them."

Hearing this, the Lord of Hecheng heaved a sigh of relief. The final harvest was still within an acceptable range. As long as this main traffic route was unblocked, the profits would be earned back sooner or later.

"That's correct. Without the Immortal, how could we possibly deal with this beast king? These are what the Immortal deserves."

The two immortals narrowed their eyes in delight.

Just then, a voice came from outside the tent.

"Lord City Lord, traces of a herd of beasts were found in the northeast."

An immortal opened his eyes and said, "You can handle such a small matter by yourself, right?"

"Of course, there's no need to trouble the immortal to take action." The Lord of He City shouted outside the tent, "Let the standby team go to provide support, and the other teams remaining in the camp should strengthen their vigilance."

"Yes!"

The Lord of Hecheng City withdrew his gaze, feeling a little uneasy, but he hid it well. He couldn't waste the profits on meaningless things. He hoped that the reinforcements summoned by the city would arrive soon.

Elsewhere in the forest, a hunting leopard was patrolling its territory. Although the lush branches and leaves blocked the light from the sky, making the ground dim, it did not prevent it from perceiving every movement nearby. After an incense stick of time, it climbed up the treetop with a prey in its mouth, intending to enjoy a midnight snack in the cold moonlight.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura locked onto it, frightening it so much that its hair stood on end. In its fear, its feet slipped and it fell from the tree. It was knocked unconscious, and when it managed to gather its attention, it found a pair of feet in front of it. It raised its head, took a quick look, and then lowered its head again, its face almost buried in the dead leaves covering the ground, and a whimper of fear came from its throat.

The owner of the feet squatted down, with a terrifying green light in his eyes. The rustling of insects stopped, and all other sounds around disappeared, and the air became oppressive and dull.

The Hunting Cloud Leopard buried its head in the fallen leaves, unable to move as if a mountain was pressing down on it, and its whimpering became barely audible.

A voice came from above its head.

"You don't need me to say anything nonsense, right?"

Hunting Wind Cloud Leopard immediately understood what he meant, and the sound of his sobs became a little louder, but he heard a sneer from above his head: "You want to become my dependent? Do you think you are worthy?"

The Wind Hunter Cloud Leopard's body trembled, and he dared not make any more sounds. After a while, he felt the pressure on his body dissipate, and the Wind Hunter Cloud Leopard climbed up from the ground, lowered his head, and carried the owner of the voice away.

……

The next morning, when Xiao woke up from his sleep, he saw a large golden leopard with complex black stripes lying outside, and he immediately became alert. At this time, Ling Xiao came over and said that the leopard had noticed his arrival and came to see him off as a friendly host.

Xiao couldn't understand this argument, so he asked Ling Xiao to tell the truth. Ling Xiao said that what he said was the truth. As for the reason why the leopard behaved like this, it might be because of its noble bloodline. The beast tribe attaches great importance to bloodline.

Xiao felt that this explanation made sense at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Just then, his stomach rumbled at an inopportune time, so he temporarily put aside his doubts and started to prepare breakfast.

After eating and drinking, Xiao rode on the Wind Hunting Cloud Leopard and set off. They flew between the treetops, which was a very novel experience for Xiao. But before they had gone far, the Wind Sickle Weasel on his shoulder began to rub his cheek nervously.

"You said there are many dangerous auras ahead?"

The Wind Hunter stopped on a thick branch, and at this moment, a shocking wave of vitality erupted in the distance. The man, the weasel, and the bird were attracted by the movement and did not notice the strange light flashing in the Wind Hunter's eyes.

"You wait here, I'll go take a look ahead." Ling Xiao flapped his wings and flew towards the source of the vital energy fluctuations.

After a while, Ling Xiao came back.

"A war broke out ahead, one side is the human race, the other side is the beastman. There are thousands of people on both sides, and there are many high-end fighters. The scale of the battlefield is huge. If we want to bypass this area, it will take a lot of time."

Xiao remembered that the City Lord's Mansion was recruiting people with lofty ideals to defeat the Beast King at the entrance of the Adventure Association. He didn't expect that the Beast King occupied the road to Lincheng. However, they should still be recruiting when he set out. How did they get ahead of him in just one day?

"What about passing through a war zone where the fighting is less intense?" Xiao asked.

"This method is feasible. Just keep a low profile when passing through and don't attract their attention." As he said this, Ling Xiao glanced at the Wind-hunting Cloud Leopard with a warning.

"so be it."

In the central battlefield, the two immortals looked at the beast king in front of them with solemn expressions. Originally, the beast king was only a five-star beast, which was equivalent to a holy eight-star beast, and the two of them were king-level beasts, and they were able to resist the bloodline suppression and entangle the beast king. If they spent more time, they could kill the beast king. However, just now, the beast king broke through to six stars, which was equivalent to a king-level two-star beast, and their advantage disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, due to the breakthrough of the beast king, its divine beast pressure became stronger, which also led to a large-scale rout in the battle below. Many people could not withstand the pressure and turned around to flee. Although most of them failed to escape the sharp teeth and claws of the spirit beast, a few people still managed to escape to the rear. Xiao encountered several groups on the way forward.

What surprised Xiao was that every group of people he met stopped in a hurry at first, looking at him vigilantly, or at the leopard under his crotch. When they saw him, they seemed to be relieved and continued their escape.

In addition, he also encountered a group of beasts chasing human deserters. Just when he wanted to avoid their sharp edge to avoid more trouble, the beasts consciously made way for him to pass. When he passed by these spirit beasts, they had no intention of hurting him at all.

This situation seemed to be explainable by showing hospitality, but I still felt something was wrong.

However, he had already arrived at the core area, and he could not regret it. He could only move forward. He looked towards the center of the battlefield and saw a huge whirlwind carrying branches and fallen leaves dancing wildly, obscuring the figure of the beast king. He could also vaguely see two small black dots in the sky, which would emit thunder and frost from time to time.

At this moment, a cute yet slightly ferocious cry resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Meow!"
