Once the temple gates were closed, they remained closed for a whole year.

Luo Chen did not reveal Zhao Zhao's death, and only told others that he was in seclusion.

A year is just a blink of an eye for the gods with extremely long lifespans, but for Zhao Zhao, most of his life has passed.

On this day, the system reported that Shi Qinian and Ye Liangqing were ordered to go to the mist forest to carry out a mission.

Zhao Zhao stood up and stretched his muscles a little. He had finally waited for this day.

…

Zhao Zhao is blind.

It all starts with the props sold in the system mall.

With his ability, he could try hard to break the barrier that Luochen had set up in his temple, but doing so would alarm Luochen. He could escape the barrier, but not Luochen's clutches.

The system popped up at this time and said that he had a way to leave the barrier without anyone noticing, but he had to pay a little price.

Zhao Zhao asked what the price was.

The system can't explain it clearly.

So, Zhao Zhao took a gamble without thinking, and...he lost his eyes.

Everything in front of Zhao Zhao was pitch black, and he had no idea where this unreliable system had teleported him.

Holding Mo Ling in his hand, Zhao Zhao was in a trance for a moment, unable to imagine that he had exchanged his eyes for a jade pendant.

He gritted his teeth, "System."

[Host, I'm here.] The system's mechanical voice sounded slightly guilty.

"Where did Mo Ling teleport me?"

[It's Wulin, the host.]

Zhao Zhao bought Mo Ling from the system mall. The specific price was blindness in both eyes for a period of time, but the exact duration was unknown.

As a system-provided plug-in, it could effortlessly penetrate all enchantments and formations, teleporting the user to their desired location while also concealing itself. It could be said that it was tailor-made for Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao was speechless for a moment, then gladly accepted the result. After all, he had gotten out.

In order to sense danger and direction, Zhao Zhao released his spiritual sense.

There are many unknown creatures in the forest, and in order to avoid alerting the enemy, his spiritual sense only covers a few miles.

In his mind, the system gave the location of Shi Qinian and Ye Liangqing, and Zhao Zhao ran straight there.

…

On the other side, Shi Qinian and Ye Liangqing were ordered to capture the divine bird Guhuo Bird that suddenly went crazy and fled.

There is only one Guhuo bird since the beginning of the world. It is immortal and extremely precious.

In the past few hundred years, his mental state has been very abnormal. He often goes crazy and suddenly ran away a few days ago.

Shi Qinian and his companion followed the clues and chased him deep into the foggy forest, but then they lost his direction.

"Shi Qinian." Ye Liangqing whispered.

Shi Qinian walked closer and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something seems to be wrong with me." Ye Liangqing's face turned pale and he looked very bad.

Shi Qinian looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"My spiritual power is draining away." She realized something was wrong and raised her hand. Her fingertips were black, and there was clearly a tiny bite on them.

"I didn't even notice it." She quickly swallowed a pill. Shi Qinian helped her sit down and said, "Rest for a while."

The snakes and insects deep in the foggy forest are not ordinary poisonous creatures. They have been living here as kings for tens of thousands of years. Many gods and demons who come here have been injured.

“Chiu!”

Not far away, the shrill cry of the Guhuo bird was heard. Shi Qinian stood up suddenly and said, "Liang Qing, you rest here first. I'll go take a look."

"Oh." Ye Liangqing raised her hand and put it down again, silently watching his receding back.

When Qinian followed the sound, he saw no Guhuo bird, but only a young man in white clothes.

The young man's figure was thin, and Shi Qinian thought he looked familiar. He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, young man, have you seen a large bird with red feathers?"

Zhao Zhao recognized Shi Qinian's voice and turned around, "I didn't see it."

Shi Qinian was stunned for a moment, "Son of God Zhao!"

Suddenly meeting those lifeless golden eyes, his pupils constricted and he stepped forward quickly, "What's wrong with your eyes?!"

Shi Qinian grabbed his arm, stared at his delicate face, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"It's okay. Just be blind for a few days and it will be fine." He stuffed the thing in his arms to Shi Qinian and said, "I found it on the roadside."

He asked, "What is this?"

This thing was lying in the middle of the road. It had no magic power and no breath. Zhao Zhao thought it was a dead object. But when he kicked it, it screamed instantly, which scared Zhao Zhao.

However, when he picked up the thing, it suddenly stopped moving and its breathing became very weak.

I touched it with my hand, but couldn't figure out what it was.

Looking at the miniature child in his hand, Shi Qinian fell silent again.

The child was delicate and cute, with bold red hair that fell to his shoulders. He had the same development as a three-year-old human child, but his body was half the size of an ordinary three-year-old child.

It doesn't look like a human child, but more like the cub of a beast that can transform.

He is now in a coma and breathing weakly. If he is not treated, he may not survive the night.
