A clear-headed protagonist, no male lead, team dynamics in later stages, and base-building.
Qi Xu had been navigating this perilous and deadly highway alone for nearly four years. With relent...
Qi Xu explained in detail, but avoided mentioning the tragic scene in the valley. The black bird's parents understood perfectly, so they didn't ask any further questions and listened quietly to Qi Xu's explanation.
Finally, she just hugged her child tighter and tighter, saying, "You've worked so hard, little one. You're amazing. If it were Mommy, I definitely wouldn't have done as well as you... You're even younger than fifth and sixth graders. It's Mommy and Daddy who haven't taken good care of you, making you shoulder so much responsibility at such a young age..."
The big black bird father awkwardly added, "Tomorrow, Dad will go find you your favorite big red berries!"
Qi Xu suddenly felt like the happiest little girl in the world, no, a little black bird, because as long as her parents were there, home was there.
I also came to understand that phrase I often heard before playing survival games: "Love is always feeling indebted."
Qi Xu was exhausted, so exhausted that his sense of smell began to deteriorate. The stinky grass that used to make him feel suffocated just by smelling it was now completely covered by the grass, and he couldn't smell any of its odor.
Instead, she fell asleep, nestled in her parents' arms, sleeping soundly.
Qi Xu didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but he knew that when he woke up again, most of the negative effects on his body had disappeared, and he felt much more comfortable.
Meanwhile, the big black bird parents beside them also woke up and looked a bit better than yesterday.
Qi Xu packed up and planned to take the big black bird's parents to meet up with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu.
We can't just hide under the stinky grass forever. Now that we've been "marinated" and haven't heard any movement from the sleeping behemoth, we might as well get moving.
The black bird's parents immediately agreed, not only without objection, but also saying, "Our little one is very capable and has grown up. From now on, your parents will listen to you, and the entire black bird clan will listen to you."
Qi Xu was slightly taken aback, suddenly having a bad feeling, but she quickly suppressed this sad and somewhat desperate feeling and said in a lighthearted manner, "Okay, okay! Leave it to me. The happiest thing in the world is taking care of Mom and Dad!"
It wasn't until they emerged from the stinking grass and slowly moved towards the edge of the cliff that Qi Xu discovered that the big black bird's father had one arm completely broken off and was almost unable to fly.
Although the mother blackbird looked a little better, she had too many small, broken wounds and was just as badly injured. She instantly realized that they had been trying to keep themselves awake and talk to her that morning.
If there's no way to fly, then walk there. No matter what, Qi Xu will never abandon anyone.
Fortunately, the sleeping behemoth remained motionless for nearly two days before slowly moving to the bottom of the cliff.
The height of forty or fifty meters made the parents of the big blackbirds a little desperate. What used to be an easy gliding height was now out of reach.
“We’re right below the cliff, kid, why don’t you go up and rest for a bit?”
Qi Xu didn't say much. He flew up to get some food for his parents, rested for a while to replenish his strength, and then planned to carry his parents to the cliff.
The black bird's parents initially wanted to refuse, but seeing their baby's determined expression, they agreed.
Qi Xu spread her wings, and the air currents lifted her feathers upwards, making her black feathers gleam with a glossy sheen in the sunlight.
It circled back to its parents, its wings slightly lowered, and said in a steady voice, "Mom, hold on tight to my back feathers, don't let go. I'll take it slow, don't worry, I can do it, trust me..."
