The next day, early in the morning.

Above Tianchi Lake, the hazy morning mist spreads out, making the water look like a fairyland.

The mist was stirred by the cold mountain breeze, mixed with the aroma of grilled fish, which reminded people of the strange combination of fish and ice cream.

When Xiao woke up, a bonfire was burning brightly in front of him. Several fish were placed on the fire, their skin golden and crispy, making him very hungry.

Grilled fish?

Did Dr. Mo just go fishing?

Xiao stretched lazily, his eyes accidentally falling on the face of Mo Zuche opposite him. He saw that the other party was eating other food and did not touch the fish on the fire. There was a hint of depression in his eyes when he looked at him.

What's going on here?

Xiao was puzzled and asked his own doubts in his heart.

The green goblin replied, "He caught the fish."

"Who told you to speak?"

Red Xiao wanted to interrupt Green Xiao, but Green Xiao spoke briefly and to the point, so he didn't have time to respond and could only growl in anger.

Xiao thought about it and roughly understood what happened before he woke up.

"I can't finish all this. Do you mind if I share it with others?" he asked.

Red Xiao's voice sounded nonchalant: "Whatever you want."

On the other side, Mo Zuche withdrew his gaze and took a big bite of the food in his hand.

They had just dealt with the second-level Order Envoy Xueying together not long ago, and they had lived and died together. How could they threaten him for a simple meal?

It seems that Xiao is not a foodie. He has eaten quite a lot of fish, so how could he be so protective of his food!

Mo Zuche was complaining like this when suddenly, a roasted fish tail came into his sight. He raised his head and saw Xiao holding a grilled fish and handing it to him. When he saw him looking at him, he raised his hand, signaling him to take it quickly.

Mo Zuche nodded his chin lightly, not rejecting Xiao's kindness. He took the grilled fish calmly, and while eating, he reflected on himself, wondering if his behavior just now was too obvious.

Xiao also picked up a grilled fish to taste, and secretly sighed in his heart that it tasted really good.

The surroundings were the same as yesterday, but for some reason, he felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

"You feel it too, right?" Mo Zuche had already finished the fish Xiao had handed him. He tossed the remaining fish bones into the fire and poked the flames with a fish-roasting stick. "The formation isn't as closed anymore, like it's been released from combat readiness. Their fight is likely over."

After saying that, as if to verify, he sent a message to Ye Lingchuan. This time, a sound came from the communication stone.

"It's you?" Ye Lingchuan's voice sounded a little confused. "Where did you go yesterday? Why couldn't I contact you?"

Mo Zuche looked around and replied, "It's a long story. I'll give you a detailed report when I get back."

"Okay. By the way, have you seen Xiao? I can't find him in the city."

"Xiao is with me." After a pause, before Ye Lingchuan could ask, Mo Zuche added, "We are all fine."

"General Ye." Xiao made a sound at the right time to prove his existence.

"Okay, as long as you're alright. What do you want from me?"

Mo Zuche asked, "What's the situation outside the mountain now? Has the Mountain God and Xuanzu decided the winner?"

"They didn't fight. They've both retreated and are living in peace. Wait, you said 'outside the mountain'? Are you inside the mountain now?"

"Yes. Well, since it's safe outside, let's hurry down the mountain and deal with the rest after we get down the mountain." After saying that, without waiting for Ye Lingchuan to ask more questions, Mo Zuche hung up the message.

"It's safe outside, we can leave now, shall we?" he said to Xiao.

Just as Xiao was about to nod, he heard a sound like phlegm coming from the side. The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Lao Li who woke up.

Old Li looked around, his expression somewhat bewildered. Seeing that both of them were staring at him, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this? Wasn't I just in the mountain temple?"

Mo Zuche's gaze shifted to Xiao: "He was the one who brought you here."

Xiao asked back, "Didn't you suggest taking shelter here?"

"...Ah? Is this what I said?" The confusion on Old Li's face became even more intense.

Seeing this, Green Xiao explained in time: "The one who said this was not Lao Li, but the creator of the formation."

elf:?

Green Xiao: "He possessed Lao Li. He was the one who helped me obtain the last of Xueying's power. He has now dissipated."

elf:!

Xiao: What did I miss?

But no matter what, now only Luo Xing is still unconscious.

Seeing Lao Li's face gradually turning pale, Mo Zuche suggested: "The mountains are high and the wind is cold. Lao Li is just an ordinary person who is a little old. He can't stand this kind of environment. If you have any problems, let's talk about it when we get down the mountain."

The other two awake people agreed to put out the campfire and start to go down the mountain.

Lao Li and Luoxing rode on Chixing, while Xiao and Mozuche walked on foot, walking slowly in the mountains.

Considering that the previous passengers of Xiaoxiao Express were in poor condition after taking the ride, Xiao did not dare to use his own skills to take Lao Li down the mountain quickly, for fear that someone might die.

Along the way, they did not see any trace of the disaster, not even a corpse of the disaster. There were only ink marks spread on the snow, emitting an ominous aura.

Before they were halfway there, Mo Zuche also arrived on Chixing's back.

The ominous ink marks on the ground had no effect on Xiao, and the same was true for Chixing, as Xiao's follower.

In this way, Chixing bore a weight that it shouldn't have to bear at its age. With every step, its claws sank deep into the snow. In the end, all four claws were stained black by ink.

The wind and snow in the mountains stopped, and the road ahead was much clearer than when they came. Although their speed was not fast, they still walked out of the snow-covered mountains before sunset.

Stepping onto the exposed land, Xiao was a little dazed for a moment. That step he just took was like crossing time and going directly from the severe winter to the warm spring. He was a little unable to adapt and felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's so tragic." Mo Zuche's voice came from the side.

indeed.

The hillside in front of them was bare, as if it had been completely bulldozed, without a trace of green. From where they were, they could see a group of people holding lanterns patrolling the foot of the mountain.

The ground was full of potholes, with blackened wood blocks inside and outside the potholes. The scene was very messy.

Mo Zuche said with a sigh, "The beast tide is truly terrifying."

That's right. When the dream world was destroyed, the disasters inside rushed out, just like MC using commands to spawn a large number of monsters. With the first disaster that appeared as the center, a large number of disasters quickly spread to the surroundings. Xiao still remembers that scene vividly and he probably won't forget it for a while.

I don’t know what Baihe City is like now.

In other words, how much damage did Baihe City suffer after being hit by a disaster of such magnitude?

After a short rest, the group set off again and arrived at the foot of the mountain late at night. Before Xiao could find the patrolling soldiers to ask about the situation in Baihe City and the whereabouts of Ye Lingchuan, a figure with white hair and green beard, wearing a dark green Taoist robe, suddenly appeared in front of them and looked at Xiao with a scrutinizing gaze.

It's someone I don't know.

Xiao suddenly became alert as if he was facing a great enemy.

The aura of the person who came had reached the imperial level, and Xiao did not sense any kindness from him.

Is this a new force intervening in the battle?

Just as Xiao was thinking about the possible changes in the situation outside the mountain, he caught a glimpse of Mo Zuche holding Luoxing and walking towards the newcomers.

This is?

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then saw the man take the falling star from Mo Zuche's hand. His expression eased a little, and he nodded slightly at him: "Thank you for helping my disciple. As a token of my gratitude, you can ask for anything you want. As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you."

Oh, it turned out to be the master who sensed that something was wrong with his disciple and rushed over to check.

I was so scared that I thought someone with bad intentions came to my door.

Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and cast a questioning look at the returning Mo Zuche. The latter lowered his voice and answered, "This is the Master of Cangxuan Sect, the master of this kid."

Xiao nodded.

Along the way, for some unknown reason, Luo Xing had not woken up for a long time. Now that he has returned to his master, he should be fine.

Xiao bowed and said, "It's a piece of cake. I have something else to do and need to go back to the city. I will discuss the thank you later."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but at this moment, two more powerful auras approached rapidly, one of which was almost as strong as the Valley Master, and the other was actually god-level.

The next moment, Xuanzu and Ye Lingchuan appeared in Xiao's sight. They all had sullen faces and, like the Valley Master, looked at Xiao with a scrutinizing gaze.

What's going on?

Welcome me?

There's no need for such a big fuss, right?

Being stared at by them like this, Xiao felt a little uneasy for no reason. He wondered if he had taken the initiative to go into the mountains, and his actions in the mountains had affected the battlefield outside the mountains, causing some unfavorable consequences.

"General Ye?" he asked tentatively.

Ye Lingchuan nodded slightly and asked, "You were the one who awakened the mountain god and suppressed the out-of-control Falling Star?"
