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

The sudden intrusion of the three people broke the noise in the hot spring bathing area, and the air suddenly became quiet.

Looking around, no one in the entire hot spring area was still in normal human form.

Some people's bones pierced the skin, or turned into bone blades with cold light flashing on them; or turned into heavy armor covering the body surface.

Parts of their limbs were shrunken beyond recognition, as dry as dead branches, as if the flesh and blood inside had been sucked out, leaving only a layer of wrinkled skin attached to the bones;

The other part was abnormally large, like a blown-up balloon.

Their whole bodies look extremely distorted and uncoordinated.

Some people had strangely twisted leg joints, their bodies were covered with sharp bone spurs and long hair, and their faces grew beast mouths with exposed fangs. Saliva flowed uncontrollably from between their teeth and dripped onto the stone bricks on the ground. They looked extremely terrifying and weird.

Before, the howling sounds heard by the soldiers outside were made by these horrible monsters.

Outside the hot spring, the howling suddenly stopped, and the soldiers outside became curious. Several brave ones volunteered to find out what was going on for everyone.

They walked in cautiously and first heard the man who had just taken out General Ye's token say, "It seems that Xiao's intuition is correct." Then, they saw the situation inside clearly.

In an instant, they felt the blood in their bodies flow backwards, and a chill rushed from the soles of their feet to their brains.

"Ow!"

At this moment, the silence was broken, and the monsters came to their senses. As if enraged, they kept hitting the barrier that trapped them, and their already ferocious faces became even more crazy.

Even though they have been completely transformed into servants, their power is still unable to break the barrier. After repeated futile collisions, black and red blood has stained the transparent barrier, like a bunch of enchanting and strange flowers blooming in the void. The scene seems like a purgatory on earth.

If they were in a military formation, with their blood boiling, these soldiers would not have reacted much. But at this moment, they were defenselessly surrounded by many monsters. There was no fearless leader around them, only two or three unreliable companions.

The moment they heard the monster's roar, a sense of fear suddenly surged into their hearts.

"what--!"

Frightened screams were heard from the direction of the gate, and these brave soldiers used their hands and feet to crawl out of the soup yard.

Hearing the scream, Lao Xing came to his senses, turned around and walked quickly in the direction where the sound came from.

After taking a few steps, he heard Mo Zuche's voice behind him.

"You don't need us to explain the things you asked just now, right?"

"No need. Help me maintain order at the scene and don't let those people outside run around. I'm going to get something and will be back soon."

"You want to get something to handle the anchor? No need, Xiao is here."

"What do you mean?" Old Xing stopped and cast a puzzled look at Mo Zuche behind him.

"If you don't believe me, look over there." Mo Zuche pointed towards a hot spring.

Xiao was standing next to the hot spring that Mozuche had pointed to, with his eyes closed.

He recalled the subtle feeling of opening the temple door when he was in the hallucination. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.

Then he stretched out his right hand forward and slowly closed his five fingers.

At this moment, the servants in the hot spring seemed to be stimulated by something and let out a shrill long howl, as if Xiao's hand was holding their hearts.

As the space between the five fingers became smaller and smaller, the actors' howls became sharper and their movements of hitting the barrier became more frantic.

Fine cracks appeared in the void, like a spider web.

They seemed to really want to break the barrier and pounce to tear Xiao to pieces.

There was chaos all around, but Xiao seemed not to hear anything. He maintained his previous posture, with only his fingers moving.

In just two breaths, he successfully clenched his five fingers into a fist, and at this moment, a faint crisp sound was heard in the void. The sound was extremely weak, as if an invisible mirror was shattered by him.

In an instant, an invisible powerful air wave, with Xiao as the center, spread out in all directions like a surging wave.

The air wave was like a sharp knife. Wherever it passed, those crazy servants maintained their original postures and there was an instant silence, as if the wires controlling them were cut by the air wave.

In an instant, the entire hot spring bathhouse seemed to have pressed the mute button and fell into dead silence.

After a moment, a slight breathing sound was heard in the bloody air.

Feeling that the breath of the anchor point had completely disappeared, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Using the power of Red Goblin to destroy the anchor point was his first actual combat, and fortunately the result was a great success.

After that, he turned his attention to those actors.

Even though their anchors were destroyed, they showed no signs of transforming back into humans. They just stood there stupidly, like soulless puppets.

It wasn't until an actor discovered Xiao and tried to pounce on him that the bathhouse became lively again.

"How do they deal with uh..." Xiao said as he turned his head, only to see Lao Xing and Mo Zuche staring at him.

He frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Mo Zuche patted Old Xing on the back and said, "Am I right?"

Old Xing came back to his senses, nodded seriously, and gave his own evaluation: "Heroes emerge from youth."

Xiao didn't understand what these two guys were doing, so he walked up and repeated the question.

"I'll clean them up. Besides, I need to stay here to clean up the mess, such as making arrangements for the soldiers outside. They are very likely to have been corrupted as well." Old Xing paused and looked at Xiao.

Xiao instantly understood what Lao Xing meant and took the initiative to say, "I'll go check other hot springs."

"Please. I have reported the situation here to Marshal Ye. Someone should be coming to support you soon."

Mo Zuche's gaze passed over Xiao's shoulder and fell on the light red pool. He spoke thoughtfully, "Ordinary pollution will not turn people into servants. What did the envoy put into the source to make an anchor point appear here by itself?"

"Important parts of it?" Xiao guessed casually, then took out a map and looked for the location of the nearest hot spring.

He didn't expect that this map, which he bought for finding the "Yuanliu" branch, would come in handy at this time.

Just as he was looking at the map, he heard the voices of Lao Xing and Mo Zuche talking beside him.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing I don't understand. When did Marshal Ye have a token of this kind in your hand? And when did he give it to you?"

"Uh... well, I made this token myself. When I'm out, having an extra identity is an extra layer of protection. But Ye Lingchuan did tell me that if I need anything, I can use his name."

"The token is fake? But the quality of the material and the knife skills..."

"When exploring the ruins, just hide a little bit and you will have the materials. As for knife skills... well, practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect."

Xiao listened to the conversation between the two silently, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and reflected on himself.
