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

Although they had only met once, Jingchuan still recognized the boy based on the impression he had because he was so handsome and dressed differently. He raised his hand to signal others to stay calm, and he walked towards the boy.

"Do you know me?" Xiao looked up. Since he was wearing a mask, no one knew what expression he had.

"We don't really know each other, we just met once. I didn't expect to see you again here." Jingchuan glanced at the body on the ground, "Are you in trouble?"

Xiao glanced at the man on the ground and turned around: "Their companions should be here soon. It is not advisable to stay here for long. You should leave quickly." After saying that, he rushed towards the direction of the mountain.

"Let's go too." Jingchuan looked back at the crowd behind him and motioned them to follow.

Not long after they left, a group of Saint-level warriors arrived. After finding out that they had come up empty-handed, they cursed and left with their companions' bodies. The situation in the mountain was unpredictable, and it was impossible for them to search in the mountain. They could only hope that the boy came out alive.

"Why are we following that kid?"

"There's no need to follow or not. We're all going to the mountain city, and there's only one road."

"I didn't expect him to hide it so deeply. Luckily I cursed him secretly and he didn't hear it."

"From what you said, you have seen the boy in front before?"

"Of course, I am one of the first people to join this team."

"Hey, look, does Jingchuan want to recruit him?"

"Young man, since we are so destined to meet, why don't we go together?" Jingchuan caught up with Xiao in front of him and politely invited him again.

"If you are worried that we will hold you back," he pointed at the crowd behind him, "there are many strong people like you among us, so you don't have to worry too much."

Xiao glanced back and saw that there were indeed several Saint-level auras in the crowd. Because of his glance back, the chattering sounds in the crowd disappeared. He quickly withdrew his gaze and continued on his way.

Seeing that Xiao was unmoved, Jingchuan suddenly said mysteriously: "Besides that, I also know a relatively safe road. You won't encounter very powerful beasts on this road. Moreover, this road can also reach the mountain city faster."

Xiao looked at Jingchuan with doubt, and the latter smiled and patted his chest to assure: "This road was told to me by a friend of mine. He also went to Zhenjiaomen half a year ago and found this road. I didn't believe it at first, so my friend took me on this journey several times, and we had no danger along the way. But it's good to be able to walk in the mountains without any danger, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Xiao began to think. They had just entered the mountains, and he felt it was a bit difficult to rely on just a map. This was in the mountains, and it was impossible to determine the direction like in the forest.

On the other hand, in the eyes of "Xiao", the overall strength of this group of people was already good enough for him and they should not be a drag, so he did not continue to dislike them.

Finally, Xiao joined the team. Since they had become temporary teammates, they naturally had to get to know each other, so everyone knew that this very good-looking boy was named "Xiao".

With a dedicated guide leading the team, the journey was much more comfortable. Under Jingchuan's leadership, they avoided the territory of the divine beasts. Occasionally, some ignorant beasts would jump out to block the road, but since Xiao was assigned to the high-end combat power of the team, he didn't need to take action against these small fry.

After four days of peace, they finally reached the outer edge of the mountains. Further ahead was the core area of ​​the mountains, which was also the most dangerous place on this road. Looking up, all they could see were peaks that reached into the sky.

In the early morning, everyone started arguing about whether they should cross the core area. Jingchuan vowed that he could lead everyone through the core area intact, but some people doubted this, thinking that the core area was full of divine beasts and there would be no loopholes for him to exploit, so they should go around the outside of the core area. Although it would take longer, it would be relatively safer. Some people who believed in Jingchuan countered that even outside the core area, there were many territories of divine beasts, and even if there were loopholes to exploit, they would not know how to exploit them without Jingchuan.

These words made the opponents look at each other in bewilderment. They were not wrong, Jingchuan was very good at leading the way, and he always found some loopholes that others would not notice along the way, so that they could get here without any loss.

Xiao sat aside bored, watching this group of people quarreling.

Finally, several opponents left the team and started to take a detour according to their own ideas. Before leaving, Jingchuan counted the number of people and found that one person was missing. After recalling, he found that Xiao was missing. He asked around and found that only one person saw Xiao and said that he entered the core area alone.

"This is too outrageous! He is really brave." Upon hearing the result, others were very surprised.

Jingchuan waved his hand, not looking worried: "Whether he is just messing around or has his plan in mind, we will know when we get to the end."

Jingchuan led everyone into the core area, but not long after they walked, someone noticed something was wrong and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jingchuan stopped and looked at the man who stopped.

The man frowned and said, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong path? I can feel that this place has also been marked by the beastmen."

When this was said, people were more or less surprised. They all looked at Jingchuan, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

Facing so many looks, Jingchuan just laughed: "You are so naive. Now that we have come to a place like this, how could those divine beasts leave a piece of land there unoccupied?"

"This……"

Before the man could say anything else, Jingchuan spoke first: "Although this is the territory of a certain divine beast, the beast is not in its territory now."

Seeing that people were still skeptical, he added, "Some of you should have contracted a flying spirit beast. If you don't believe me, you can release it and fly to the front to see if there are any lords or guards. But remember, don't fly into other people's territory."

"I have a flying spirit beast, I can explore the way for everyone!" One person volunteered to let his contracted bird fly ahead to investigate the situation. After a while, the bird flew back intact, bringing back the news that there was indeed no danger in this territory, but there was a person ahead. After comparing some details, he determined that the person in front was Xiao.

"It seems that Xiao has a good vision and has found the right path." Jingchuan's eyes swept over the people: "Do you still have any doubts now?"

The doubts were resolved and the group set out on the road again.

Back to just now, Xiao felt very bored watching them quarreling. At this moment, "Xiao" said that he had found a safe route, so Xiao decisively left the group of people who had not finished quarreling and stepped into the core area under the guidance of "Xiao". Along the way, he didn't even see a spirit beast.

Ling Xiao transformed into a beast and walked beside Xiao. "The beast tribe has a very strong sense of territory. Weak spirit beasts will not and dare not enter the territory without the permission of the lord. But it is strange that this lord occupies such a large piece of territory, not only does he not stay here, but he also does not send his followers to guard it. This is really unheard of."

"No wonder Jingchuan acted so confident just now." The comfort along the way made Xiao understand why Jingchuan was so confident when he said those words before.

After walking for a while, Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out his wings to stop Xiao.

"Wait, there's something wrong with the space ahead."

Facing Xiao's inquiring gaze, Ling Xiao explained: "Because the location of my hometown is quite special, I am more sensitive to spatial changes. I can feel that the space ahead is not the same as where we are now."

"Will it be dangerous for us to go in?"

"I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head. "This kind of movement can be naturally formed, such as the emergence of some relics that have been closed for many years. However, as far as I know, certain actions of the human race can also produce this kind of spatial movement. It seems to be called a formation or something. But I don't know much about human things, and I'm not good at space-related moves. I can't tell the difference between the spatial movement caused by you humans and the naturally generated ones."

"What about you?" Xiao asked in his heart.

“The road ahead gave me a very bad feeling.”

So Xiao decided to take a detour, but it took them some time to realize that the alternative space blocked the way forward in this territory.

Should we wait for Jingchuan and the others to see what to do next?

"Trouble." Xiao said, "Tsk, let me pass through."

"What if they don't lend it?"

"Then let's see how many lives are there to stop us."

This fierce tone made Xiao shudder. He quickly advised: "Just scare them away. The beasts here are probably not weak, and there will be many spirit beasts following them. If we really fight, we will be at a disadvantage."

"It's okay. I can kill as many of them as they come. Why, do you think those ants can threaten me?"

"But I think you shouldn't waste your energy on those ants, and there's still a long way to go..."

"..."

Xiao was silent for a while, then seemed to sigh: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiao restrained his breath and entered the next territory. At first he was not discovered, but not long after he walked, angry roars suddenly came from the distance.

Xiao was shocked.

Was he discovered? No, Xiao said the warning was not directed at him. What was going on? Wait, there's someone behind me!

Two attacks suddenly came towards Xiao's back. Xiao turned over and dodged, then looked in the direction of the attack. He saw two figures appearing on the tree. They were dressed in black and had scary masks on their faces. Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise they would be quite scary.

"Who?!"

The two of them leaped down towards Xiao without saying a word.

Saint level!

Xiao was surprised and quickly retreated to keep some distance between them. At the same time, he mobilized his energy so that he could be ready to deal with their attacks at any time.

The three of them confronted each other.

The earth shook, as if some huge monster was approaching quickly.
