Just then, the ground shook.

Zuo Qingya slapped her forehead. "Oh no, things seem to have gotten out of hand."

Because Zuo Qingya took away the jade statue, the ground suddenly became empty, so the ground began to collapse.

Fortunately, they still have the earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, a type of talisman) on, so they should be fine.

Just as Zuo Qingya was about to leave with Xiao Qiuqiu, she spotted two big red flowers on the opposite side of the road.

[Could it be Little Chirp's mom and sister?]

Without a doubt, it must be; after all, those identical big red flowers are unmistakable.

Zuo Qingya, holding Xiao Qiujiu's hand, found a moment of opportunity and teleported directly in front of Xiao Qiujiu's mother and sister, encircling all three of them and escaping from the ground.

Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief as she emerged, looking at the huge crater beneath her feet.

Little Chirp was still in a daze, not knowing what had happened. She only felt herself on the ground in an instant, and when she saw her mother and sister, she cried out happily.

"Mom, sister, I'll never run away from home again. It's too scary outside. That Dr. Xu is so scary. He even cut off my toes and sucked my blood. Mom, sister, look at me, I've gotten so thin."

He's so wicked; he used me as an experiment.

Big Flower and Little Flower are still not fully recovered!

They went to the underground palace to find their ancestor, but as soon as they bowed, their ancestor disappeared, scaring them half to death. When the ground collapsed, they thought they were going to die, but they never expected to see Little Chirp again.

Little Chirp's mother hugged her child tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you for so many days!"

Little Chiu Chiu felt very guilty. "I'm sorry, Mom. I know I was wrong. I will never run away again."

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

"Oh, by the way, Mom, how did you end up underground?"

"We went to the underground palace to find our ancestors! We were going there to pay our respects, but they suddenly disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingya froze. [Ancestor? They wouldn't be talking about that stone statue, would they?]

Zuo Qingya touched her nose. [I think I've messed up. I've even taken someone's ancestor into their consciousness space. What should I do? Should I return it? I feel a little reluctant, after all, it's imperial jade! Such a large piece! Oh well, I'll return it. After all, that statue is someone's faith; losing their faith isn't a good omen.]

"Mom, sister, let me introduce you. This is Xiaoya. She's the one who rescued me. We should thank her properly."

"Humans?"

Zuo Qingya was a little embarrassed and could only smile.

"Mom, sister, Xiaoya is amazing, you know? She can turn invisible! And she can even burrow underground. We came back invisible! And Xiaoya can fly, really high! She's super, super amazing!"

"This ability?" Big Flower's eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. How could a human have this ability? Isn't it only man-eating flower spirits like them who have this ability?

"Little Chirp, are you sure this person is human? Does he really have these abilities?"

Little Chirp nodded emphatically: "I'm pretty sure she can. She just stuck that yellow piece of paper on me and then I could become invisible."

"Yellow paper? Is it a prop?"

Little Chiu Chiu shook her head: "I don't know, you'll have to ask Xiao Ya."

Zuo Qingya took out several talismans from her consciousness space, stuck them on her body, and then disappeared.

Little Chiu Chiu clapped her hands: "Mommy, did you see that? Xiao Ya is gone."

"Mom, look! I didn't lie to you, she really disappeared."

Da Hua nodded. "I saw it. I'm not blind."

When Zuo Qingya reappeared, Da Hua smiled politely and asked, "Um, little human, could I take a look at that talisman?"

Zuo Qingya nodded, "Here, take a look!"

"Okay, thank you!" Da Hua took the yellow talisman and looked at it, but couldn't figure it out no matter how many times she turned it over.

"Um, I wanted to ask, how do I use this?"

Zuo Qingya didn't hide anything, "You can just stick it on your body."

"Is it really that simple?"

"Yes."

After the big flower disappeared, I carefully examined the talisman's function. It could see other people, but they couldn't see it. It walked up to the little flower and waved around, but the little flower still didn't notice it.

It patted Little Flower on the shoulder, and Little Flower exclaimed, "Who is it?" before realizing what it was.

Curious, she asked, "Is that you, Mom?"

Da Hua nodded, then, realizing her daughter couldn't see her, said, "Yes, it's me."

"Mom, you really did disappear!"

"Yes, it's amazing."

When Da Hua removed the invisibility talisman, she looked a little embarrassed. "Um, little human."

Although embarrassed, I still spoke up, "Um, little human, how many of these talismans do you have left? Can you sell them to me? I mean, I'm talking about bartering. Although I don't have any money, we have a lot of treasures. You can take whatever you like."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingya almost blurted out, "Can you take away your ancestors too?"

Buzzing...

What was that sound?

"It sounds like a helicopter."

"The helicopter was probably just passing by!"

The helicopter hovered above them, and when Zuo Qingya looked up, she saw Xu Yongjie on the helicopter.

"How did he find his way here? Could it be..."

Zuo Qingya pulled Xiao Qiujiu over and asked, "Xiao Qiujiu, when Xu Yongjie did the experiment on you before, did he put anything in your skin?"

Little Chirp thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems like there is such a thing, black in color."

Where is that thing located?

“It’s in the back.” He pointed to the back of his neck.

Zuo Qingya affixed a penetration talisman to her hand and searched the back of the little chicks' necks. Sure enough, she found a small black creature. [This must be it; it exposed their location.]

Zuo Qingya lit a flame in her hand, burning the black tracker to pieces.

"What's this?"

"Tracker".

Little Chiu Chiu was a little worried and grabbed Zuo Qingya's little hand, "Xiaoya, I..."

Before Xiao Qiuqiu could finish speaking, Zuo Qingya patted Xiao Qiuqiu's head and comforted her, "It's okay, it's been resolved."

"Should we escape from here?"

"Can."

"Dr. Xu, the tracking signal has disappeared. We must have been discovered."

"Damn it, they must have spotted our tracker. We need to get down here."

"Okay, Dr. Xu."

From a distance, seeing the black dots jumping down from the helicopter, Little Chirp patted her chest. "Luckily we ran fast, otherwise the four of us would have been in trouble. We might have been caught and taken back, then dissected and studied. That's terrifying. That Dr. Xu is a pervert."

"We probably won't be able to go back in the short term."

"Mom, is our home gone?"

"How could that be? We are man-eating flower spirits, the forest is our home."
