That's really good, so that's the only method we can use.

Xiaoxiao walked to the shade of a large, lush tree, which made the rain less intense when it hit him. He shook his head to dry the raindrops, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He raised one of his tiger claws, and suddenly a wound appeared on it, from which drops of blood flowed. The blood dripped onto the ground and, instead of being dispersed by the rain, gathered into a formation.

Xiaoxiao suddenly took out a half-eaten blade of grass and placed it in the middle of the formation. The blade of grass began to glow slightly and slowly merged into a white line, which then drifted slowly forward.

It seems that it was a success.

Xiaoxiao felt all the strength drain from his body, and a few stars appeared before his eyes. He shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, and then stepped on his paws, slowly following the white line.

The technique he used was a locator technique, which was considered a forbidden technique of the clan. Because if you use this technique, you will be weak for a whole year, which is a very short time to consume your vital energy.

Xiao Xiao was originally confident that he could find the other person just by their scent, but now, looking at the heavy rain and the collapse he had just caused due to his recklessness, he was no longer so sure.

The sudden rain chased away many small animals, making Xiaoxiao's journey to find Xu Qiaoqiao much easier.

This formation requires very strict conditions, but it is indeed very effective. However, it has one drawback: its effectiveness is short-lived.

Looking at the edge of the forest, Xiaoxiao twitched her nose, as if there was a trace of spiritual herbs here.

That white line has long since disappeared.

Everything is quiet now, and the rain has subsided considerably, which is excellent.

Tigers have excellent eyesight; they are felines, and felines have very good night vision. So even at night, Xiaoxiao can see the surrounding scene clearly.

His most vivid memory of the spirit herb was its human-like face.

This made Xiaoxiao quickly remove the ordinary grass, and with this scent, she soon saw the grass that had coiled itself into a mosquito coil, and it even knew to root itself into the soil.

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Qiaoqiao was alright, but when he saw her bald head, the whole tiger got angry.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Xiaoxiao felt like she had something stolen from her, the kind of thing that was already in her mouth, but had her mouth forcibly pried open and snatched away.

"roar!"

He finally couldn't help but shout out, and the fury in his voice caused all the birds and beasts in the vicinity to flee, which also woke up Xu Qiaoqiao.

Xu Qiaoqiao turned over, frowned, and woke up. Who is it? So inconsiderate, not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you yelling for? Is your mother dead?

She woke up in a huff, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw the fierce little tiger staring straight at her. Their eyes met.

Xu Qiaoqiao immediately sensed the aura emanating from the other person, and then felt embarrassed, her face stinging slightly.

They were proven wrong.

Because she had been so certain that the other person wouldn't find her, she was surprised to find him right in front of her as soon as she woke up, and judging from his expression, he seemed very unhappy.

Xu Qiaoqiao was a little hesitant to move, her body trembling slightly, her courage, which had just been mustered, was immediately shattered.

Xiaoxiao looked at the uneasy expression on the human face, and his complexion became even worse. He wanted to say something to the spirit herb, but what came out of his mouth were a few roars. He then realized that the other party could not understand the language at all, so he started to speak in human language again.

"Little grass, who picked all your leaves? Tell me, and I'll go and beat them up for you!"

A clear, youthful voice rang out, and his bright eyes were fixed on Xu Qiaoqiao. Then, seeing that Xu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth but didn't say anything, he realized that this spiritual herb couldn't speak yet.

So for the time being, he won't know anything.

"Tsk~"

Xiaoxiao was feeling increasingly irritable. In addition, because he had just used that spell, his body was very weak. If it weren't for his strong willpower supporting him, he probably would have collapsed long ago.

Xu Qiaoqiao noticed the tiger's agitation, but she guessed it was because she had been stolen. Otherwise, she couldn't think of anything else. But judging from what he just said, hadn't he seen the black bear?

How did the black bear's house collapse?

Or did I make a mistake in my judgment?

Xu Qiaoqiao fell into deep thought. No way, this really is a case of one wrong step leading to another.

Xiaoxiao didn't make any further moves. He went straight forward, bit Xu Qiaoqiao, and then effortlessly pulled her out of the ground. After shaking off the dirt, he turned and ran away.

I'm currently exhausted, and the nighttime is quite dangerous. What if something unexpected happens at this time? I don't want to end up losing the medicinal herb and getting myself killed in the process.

Feeling the long-awaited baptism of the strong wind, Xu Qiaoqiao's sleepiness was instantly driven away.

Xiaoxiao didn't bite hard; it was just enough to trap Xu Qiaoqiao. But the wind made her sway and her head start to feel a little dizzy.

I don't know where to go next.

Since that place has already been discovered, she can no longer put herself there. She can still figure these things out herself, Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself. However, she still doubted whether Xiaoxiao and the black bear really did not fight.

What was that really loud noise?

It really sounded like something very heavy and large falling down.

While Xu Qiaoqiao was struggling with her decision, Xiaoxiao had already entered a forest with a few scattered trees. Because of the rain, the path was muddy, and Xiaoxiao was not careful when running, splashing a lot of mud onto Xu Qiaoqiao.

As Xu Qiaoqiao spat, she managed to remove a clump of dirt, but as soon as she did, more dirt flew back up.

Is this ever going to end?!

Although the wind was a bit biting, even Xu Qiaoqiao felt the chill. What awful weather!

Xiaoxiao kept running forward until she reached a very complicated stone forest. This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had ever seen such a scene. Tall rocks stood on the ground, winding and forming a maze.

Does Xiaoxiao live here?

The directionality was excellent. Xu Qiaoqiao was carried inside by Xiaoxiao and then witnessed the twists and turns of the maze. However, once inside, she felt Xiaoxiao's presence become even stronger.

It's unclear how many turns Xiaoxiao made, but he stopped in front of a cave entrance, crouched down, and slowly crawled inside.
