Xiao Jia flew towards the direction of the Hundred Beast Garden on his sword. The spirit sword was already small, and it was already a bit of a stretch to ride on Xingye.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding transformed into the shape of a human cub less than a year old, soft and short.
However, he didn't have much spiritual energy left, and the spirit sword flew erratically. He had to stand on the hilt and make hand seals to control it.
Hoshino was worried about falling, so he sat cross-legged on the sword sheath, with one hand hooked on Xiaojia's waistband and the other arm around Xiaoding, who looked like a baby.
Xiao Ding was also worried that he would fall, and worried that Xingye's other arm wouldn't be able to hold on, so he wrapped Xingye's tail around his waist and tied the tip of the tail to his own dog tail in a knot.
It's just that Hoshino has been spoiling him lately and hasn't held it against him. If Shanshan had dared to do that, he would have turned her into coal dust long ago.
Shan Shan transforms back to its original form to lighten its load, sometimes flying in the sky, and when it gets tired, it stands on Xiao Ding's head.
After the puppy turned into a human, his hair was the same as his father Salya's, a head of yellowish-red fur, messy and soft, more comfortable than a bird's nest.
These four little ones haven't met in full yet.
Now I finally have a chance to speak.
Hoshino turned her head and saw that Shanshan had landed again. A reproachful look flashed in Black Pearl's eyes, and she said fiercely, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been captured by Salia, we would have already secretly taken Xiaoding away. There would have been no need for us to go see that cat demon again!"
Shan Shan turned the crow's head away, glared at him angrily with one eye, and said in the distinctive cawing of a crow, "Oh! It's not my fault! You were discovered long ago when you were digging the tunnel. I was trying to warn you when Saliya found me and caught me!"
Hoshino: "You're making excuses! Why did you have to come out with us when you could have stayed in the zoo?"
Shan Shan: "Can you guys handle this? If I hadn't persuaded Salya, why would he have given Xiao Ding to us?"
Xingye retorted angrily, "Won't Xiao Ding still have to go back in two days? Do you want to see the dog demon harassing the Beast Garden?"
Xiao Ding: "Waaaaah..."
The brothers actually started arguing over finding him.
Hoshino complained, "You and Mimi could form a parrot duo, always whimpering and whining! It's so annoying!"
Shanshan: "You're still yelling at Xiaoding! I'm going to tell Saliyah to unleash his dogs on you!"
Hoshino: "Go ahead and complain if you dare!"
Xiao Ding wiped away her tears. She had originally wanted to mediate the fight, but now she dared not utter a sound.
What's even more upsetting is that he'll be leaving the zoo again in two days.
Since his father transferred his cultivation to him, his body matured a lot, and his previously confused mind became clear.
In the past, he was abducted from Dog Head Mountain by cultivators, captured and trained as a spirit pet, and then abandoned...
The painful memories were vivid in his mind, and they all came back at once, making him feel very bad. He got a headache whenever he thought about them.
"Brother... Waaah..." He hugged Hoshino, his little mouth babbling incoherently, "Brother, don't leave me... Waaah..."
"I told you not to cry... Hey, what's wrong with you?!" Hoshino looked down at the dog-like chubby face, which had turned from white to red, and forcefully pulled on Xiao Jia's waistband. "Oh no, Xiao Ding is about to form his core!"
That was the light of fire elemental energy!
Xiao Jia, who was standing at the hilt of the sword, was pulled so hard that the golden core in his dantian almost stopped working.
The spirit sword plummeted straight down.
Hoshino screamed, "Aaaaaah!"
"Oh my god!" Shan Shan exclaimed, grabbing Xing Ye's collar in her mouth and flapping her wings.
Several black crow feathers fell down.
The spirit sword still fell to the ground at great speed.
Just a foot from the ground, Xiao Jia urgently activated the spiritual pill, suddenly unleashing a large amount of spiritual energy to stabilize the spiritual sword.
Even a demon cultivator with a golden core couldn't withstand such reckless behavior when spiritual energy is depleted.
He landed on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and lay unconscious in the grass with his limbs spread wide open.
Below is a hillside.
Hoshino, carrying Xiao Ding, tumbled to the other side, almost rolling down the mountain.
The tail was tangled up by Xiao Ding and couldn't be used. Besides, Xiao Ding's original form was practically the same size as a person.
He didn't care that Xiao Ding might get hurt; if they continued to fall like that, they would both die.
He used his hands and feet, then stretched out his head and bit down hard on a small tree, hanging there suspended in mid-air.
Shanshan flew over, broke off a branch, and handed it to Xingye.
Hoshino grabbed onto a tree branch to find a foothold, and then, carrying Xiaoding, slowly climbed onto the flat ground.
"call……"
Hoshino and Zenzen exchanged a glance. Both of their faces were dirty and covered in mud, but their eyes showed understanding.
This is not the time to argue.
Xiao Jia has a stitch in his side, and Xiao Ding is about to form his core.
Now only he and Shan Shan can protect them.
It's such a long way, there's no way they can go back to the Beast Garden, and they sneaked out without bringing any paper cranes with them.
Hoshino Black Pearl's eyes shone brightly, like a small flame: "My spiritual energy will return soon, and I'll be able to breathe fire. There are trees here, so I'll light a fire to drive away wild animals and keep them from bothering us."
Shan Shan transformed back into her original form and flew into the sky: "I'm going to find a cave. There's no spiritual energy in these mountains. Don't eat anything here, and don't drink any water!"
Hoshino raised his head and wiped the mud off his face with the back of his hand: "Don't worry, we are demon cultivators, we won't starve!"
...
Zhao Xi thought, "Is this the cat demon's territory? It looks really strange!"
Luo Haiqing: "It is indeed strange. I have never seen a house like this before. The roof looks like half a steamed bun turned upside down, with pillars that look like flowers sticking out of it. The house is built like flower petals, which is quite beautiful."
