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

Chapter 376 What is outside the human world?

Everyone has the tendency to gossip.

Xiao became interested in the story told by Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, wandering outside the world is very boring. When there is no danger, everyone occasionally gathers together to listen to the stories of the past told by the older puppets. These stories all happened in a very long time ago, when I was not even born."

"So..." Xiao stroked his chin, looking Ling Xiao up and down, "You want to start from the creation of the world?"

"Ahem! How is that possible! How can I not be the kind of person who can't tell a story!" Ling Xiao was choked by Xiao's question. He felt that he was insulted just as his storyteller career had just begun.

"so?"

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point." Ling Xiao cleared his throat and said seriously, "That was before Huanhong City was sunk. My master possessed superb puppet-making skills, and he also had a group of friends who, like him, possessed skills that others could hardly match.

Among the master's friends, there is such a pair. One of them is a human array-caster, able to forge divine weapons using ordinary iron combined with array formations, while the other is a scaleless dragon, said to hold a very high status within the tribe.

Listening to Ling Xiao's description, Xiao immediately thought of the mountain god and the murals that engraved the mountain god's memories.

He remembered that most of the murals depicted a man. The lines on the man's face were very delicate, and it was obvious that he was someone very important to the mountain god.

The identity details also match. Could the couple in the story be the mountain god and his master?

As if recalling something unhappy, Ling Xiao snorted coldly and continued, "One day, the dragon came to deliver an invitation. Upon hearing the master's idea of sinking Huanhong City, he mocked the master harshly."

It commented sharply, "This dragon is truly foolish! The results prove that the master's idea was correct. If we were still alive today, the people and beasts they protected would have long since perished."

Keep a low profile, you are now in the territory of the dragon you are scolding!

Xiao didn't dare to remind him because the mountain god had a bad memory and might have forgotten about it. But if he reminded him, the mountain god might hear it and remember it. In that case, Ling Xiao might be in big trouble.

Seeing that Ling Xiao looked like he wanted to continue his sharp criticism, Xiao quickly stopped him from casting the spell and asked, "Send an invitation?"

Ling Xiao's attention was drawn to the new topic, and he replied, "It's a wedding invitation. As for the content of the invitation, I don't know. They didn't mention it in their story. However, based on my understanding of the dragon race, it's likely because they found their other half or successfully gave birth to an heir."

Ever since he knew that the egg brought by Mozuche belonged to the mountain god, Xiao had a very bold guess.

He cautiously asked, "Who is the mountain god's spouse?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Xiao doubtfully: "Didn't I tell you that at the beginning?"

"You said that?" Xiao was stunned for a moment.

He recalled what Ling Xiao said, but didn't find anything interesting, so he cast an inquiring look at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao said, "Didn't I tell you before? They are a couple."

"A human array caster and a scaleless dragon?"

"That's right." Ling Xiao nodded.

"..."

Xiao: Wow!

Xiao: He is actually an outsider!

As early as the first time he met the mountain god, combined with what he saw and heard along the way, Xiao's sixth sense gave this answer, but when the mystery was really revealed, he still couldn't help being surprised.

The ancients in this world were very open-minded and easily did things that they only dared to think about but not actually do.

Suddenly, Hong Xiao asked, "What is beyond human?"

Hearing this question, Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

"Outside?"

Unfortunately, Green Xiao was also attracted by this word he had never heard of before.

Xiao suppressed the urge to strangle Red Xiao to death and explained, "Uh... outside of human refers to creatures other than humans."

Red Mandrill: "Except for humans..."

Xiao: "For example, if you transform into a Peng bird, you will be considered outside the human realm."

Red Mandrill: "I see."

Green Mandrill: "I see."

elf:"……"

In addition, Xiao also noticed that a place name was mentioned in Lingxiao's story.

"Is Huanhong City your hometown?" he asked.

"Yes."

“Does it still exist?”

"Yes. But..." Ling Xiao paused.

For some reason, Xiao actually saw desolation in the eyes of a puppet.

"But I can't go back for the time being."

"Why?" Xiao asked curiously, "Because it wanders outside the world?"

"No." Ling Xiao flapped his wings dejectedly and said, "Don't delve into it. This is not something you can interfere with."

"Oh." Xiao could only give up the idea of eating melon in disappointment.

After eating the melon at the mountain god's house, Xiao went down the mountain with Lingxiao while it was still daylight.

It feels nice not to have to fly myself.

However, the road ahead was not smooth.

At the city gate, Xiao met Xuanzu, who exuded a terrifying low pressure all over his body. He stood there like a wall, blocking Xiao's way and bringing him great pressure.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao's expression remained normal, but a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his back.

Could it be that Luo Xing has already woken up, and they have already given their confessions, and are now coming to find me to question me?

So fast?

The next moment, Xuanzu asked, "What exactly did you encounter in the mountains?"

Xiao didn't answer, but instead asked, "Didn't I tell you that when I came out of the mountains and met you that day?"

Xuan Zu continued to stare at Xiao, and uttered two words lightly: "Forgot."

I forgot, I suspect you are here to cause trouble!

Xiao uttered "Is that so", acting as if he was upright and had nothing to fear from his own shadow, and that was the end of it.

The two sides confronted each other silently. When the people coming in and out saw this, they all avoided them for fear that they would be affected.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ling Xiao stepped forward and wanted to support Xiao, but Xuanzu didn't even give him a glance.

Because he is too weak.

This confrontation did not last long. Soon, Ye Lingchuan arrived and took Xiao away.

Fortunately, this was the city gate. The guard at the gate saw that the atmosphere between them was not right and immediately reported the situation to Ye Lingchuan.

From Ye Lingchuan, Xiao learned about Luoxing's situation.

After returning from Baihe Mountain, Luo Xing has been in a coma. His master, the leader of Cangxuan Sect, can only take him back to the sect to find a solution.

As for the fact that Xuanzu stopped Xiao, it was purely because he had doubts about Xiao's words from the beginning.

Am I really that bad at lying?

Xiao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Ye Lingchuan sent Xiao back to the inn. At this time, the transport team consisting of five adventure teams was about to leave.

In the crowd, Xiao saw the short young man who gave him a big gift as soon as they met.

If he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be called Ding Shu.

Ding Shu also saw Xiao. He dodged to the side in an instant as if he had seen the god of plague.

Xiao didn't care too much about his reaction and went straight to the kitchen of the inn.

For the next four days, Xiao rested and recuperated in the city.

During this period, he went up the mountain twice to check on Mo Zuche's condition and confirmed that there was no major problem.

In the past few days, the number of people staying in the inn with him has decreased. They left one after another, and finally only one team was left, which was the one Ding Shu was in.

Now, the city has sufficient supplies and the reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Xiao's help is no longer needed. After some thought, Xiao decided to return to Khotan to see his old friends.

It's just that the road is quite long.

However, just before Xiao set off, Ye Lingchuan found him.

Ye Lingchuan asked: "Is Qiu Liuyun your friend?"

Xiao nodded, with a bad feeling in his heart.

Is nothing going to happen to this guy?

He remembered that Qiu Liuyun was responsible for dismantling anchor points, and this job was indeed dangerous.

Ye Lingchuan continued, "I have some news about him."

"What's up with him?"

"His team encountered a Level 3 Order Envoy, and they were almost wiped out. He was the only one who survived, but he fell into a coma and could not be awakened."

Xiao frowned slightly.

Did something really happen?

Oh, when can I hear some good news?

"Where is he now?" Xiao asked.

"Yufeng Gate."

Imperial Phoenix Gate?

Xiao remembered that this was an immortal sect and Qiu Liuyun was a disciple of this sect.

How come you still have something to do when you're back home?

Xiao asked in confusion, "The Imperial Phoenix Sect has no way to treat him?"

Ye Lingchuan shook his head: "I don't know the specific details, but judging from the results, this is the case."

"What do you want to do by telling me this?"

"Don't you want to save your friend?" Ye Lingchuan asked back.
