Chapter 181 Qi'an Turns Out to be a Pigeon

The strange bird was like a gust of white wind, approaching Xia Yueke at a very fast speed.

Xia Yue could clearly hear the whistling sound that cut through the air, and her little heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

As the figure of the strange bird gradually became clearer, Xia Yueke widened her eyes in horror, and her limbs flapped frantically in the air, trying to avoid the impending "attack."

When the huge claws touched her body, Xia Yueke instinctively struggled desperately. Her little fox body twisted left and right, and a low growl came out of her mouth.

Upon seeing this, Qi'an quickly chirped twice, the sound carrying a familiar soothing tone.

Why does this voice sound a bit like Qi'an?

It was as if Xia Yueke had suddenly pressed the pause button and stopped struggling. She stared and looked carefully at the huge white bird in front of her.

Gradually, she saw a familiar shadow from the bright and determined eyes of the bird, and was suddenly shocked. Then she realized that this "horrible" bird was actually transformed by Qi'an.

The white dove transformed by Qi'an had feathers as white as snow, without any impurities.

It has a large and agile body, with wide wings that can cover the sky when spread out, and strong wing bones that support its feathers.

When flapping its wings, it descends slowly and smoothly without any bumps or shakes, showing elegance and composure.

The pointed beak flashed a cold light in the darkness, and its sharp eyes could see through the danger and protect Xia Yueke under its claws.

Qi An held Xia Yueke firmly and slowly flapped his wings. Every flap of his wings brought up a gentle airflow, making the descent process smooth and slow.

Xia Yuke's heart finally settled down. She curled up in Qi'an's claws, feeling grateful for surviving the disaster. Her dislike for Qi'an also turned into gratitude.

As he slowly landed on the ground, Xia Yueke jumped out of Qi'an's claws and quickly turned back into human form.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Qi'an, who was as cold as a sculpture in front of her. The panic and relief in her eyes had not faded yet, and the shocking scene of Qi'an turning into a huge white dove kept replaying in her mind.

The surprise in my heart echoed like ripples for a long time, and I couldn't reconcile the man in front of me who exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers" with the image of the lively white dove.

"Qian, how did you come so timely? I really thought I was going to die here just now."

Xia Yueke's voice was still trembling as she spoke with lingering fear.

Qi An's eyes, as deep as a cold pond, glanced at her, and his voice was cold yet revealing a hint of concern:

"I happened to be nearby, and Fluffball came over and told me you were in trouble, so I rushed over. Fortunately, it wasn't an irreversible situation. You acted so recklessly. This place is full of dangers. Why didn't you pay more attention?"

Xia Yueke scratched his head and said, "I was so focused on the gray rabbit that I didn't notice there was a cliff ahead. I won't do that again next time."

Qi An shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly, "Your reckless temper is really worrying. If I hadn't helped you in time, where would you have gone?"

Xia Yueke knew that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

"By the way, Qi'an, you are actually a White Dove Orc?!"

When Xia Yueke thought of the white dove that gracefully descended, she couldn't help but be filled with surprise, her eyes widening.

Qi An nodded. "You don't know? It's already written under the platform in our school: I'm a white pigeon orc, Luo Cihe is a crow orc, Die Xu is a butterfly orc, and Hu Wanchou is a black tiger orc."

Xia Yue smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, I understand. I didn't pay much attention to those things before..."

Qi An sighed inwardly. The cub school was about to end, and he didn't even know what kind of beastmen they were! Xia Yueke was the only one who knew this!

Qi An stared at her and said, "Stop talking about useless things. We have to find a way to leave this place first."

Xia Yueke nodded hurriedly, then looked around and saw that this place seemed like a bottomless valley. The sunlight seemed to be blocked by thick ink. The surroundings were dark and gloomy, and the air was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which was creepy.

Xia Yueke involuntarily leaned towards Qi'an and asked softly:

"What kind of place is this? Didn't you notice it during your previous investigation?"

Qi An glanced at Xia Yueke and snorted coldly:

"This place is already outside our investigation area and out of bounds. I don't know how you managed to get into trouble just chasing a monster!"

Xia Yueke was a little embarrassed by what Qi'an said. She was so busy playing World of Warcraft that no one noticed where it was. Besides, the surrounding environment was exactly the same!

Who can tell the difference if you don’t live here for a year or two?

"Can't you stop making sarcastic remarks? We need to leave now! It's pitch dark here, and if we run into a high-level monster, it will be terrible."

Qi'an nodded, said no more, and walked forward.

Xia Yueke's eyesight was now so poor that she could only see a little bit clearly in the dark. She was terrified by the rustling sounds coming from the surroundings from time to time.

Without thinking twice, he grabbed Qi'an's animal robe.

Qi'an looked at him coldly, and Xia Yuke smiled awkwardly, "Qi'an, just let me pull it for a while. It's too dark here, and I can't see anything clearly. If we get separated again, it will be all over!"

Qi'an didn't say anything, just turned around and continued walking forward.

"This place should be the dark valley in the Misty Forest. The place where we fell is the deepest part, so we should go to both sides next. Maybe there is a way out!"

Xia Yueke was a little disappointed when she heard these uncertain words.

"Qian, how about you turn into a big pigeon, and I turn into a beast, and you catch me?"

Xia Yueke thought that the idea he came up with was very clever, and he wanted to transform into a beast immediately.

Qi An shook his head and rejected it: "The altitude here is too incredible. I am halfway to the destination. If I don't have a foothold, it will be difficult to continue."

After hearing this, Xia Yueke's eyes dimmed instantly and she sighed helplessly.

At this moment, a cold wind blew past, making her shiver.

Seeing this, Qi An stopped, took off his animal skin cloak, and gently draped it over Xia Yueke's shoulders, although his movements were a little stiff.

"Don't panic yet. Let's explore slowly along this path. Although I've never been deep into this place, I've heard some legends about the Dark Valley. Perhaps we can find some useful clues."

As Qi'an spoke, he took out a stone that emitted a faint fluorescence from his arms. Although the light from the stone was limited, it could still slightly illuminate the road under his feet.

Xia Yueke pulled her cloak tighter, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and followed closely behind Qi'an. The two walked cautiously.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. The sound was dull and powerful, as if it came from the roar of an ancient giant beast, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

Xia Yueke's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled a little:

"Qian, what...what is this sound?"

Qi'an frowned, his expression solemn:

"I'm afraid we've disturbed the guardian beast in the Dark Valley. Be careful and alert."

After saying that, he protected Xia Yueke behind him, tensing all his muscles, ready to deal with the impending danger.
