The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu looked at each other.

kindness……

Qiao Bai quickly picked up the feather that was still floating in the air and inserted it into Xiaowu's body with his backhand.

"Just pretend you didn't see anything."

Xiao Wu: (╬◣д◢) Is this something I can pretend not to see?

Seeing that Xiaowu was about to make a fuss, Qiao Bai quickly touched Xiaowu and said, "Calm down. Maybe all the hair on your body will grow out soon."

Xiao Wu: Question.jpg Although he didn't believe it, Xiao Wu still looked at Qiao Bai with expectation.

╭(╯^╰)╮

The Beastmaster said!

Birds listen!

As for whether the bird believes it or not...

Xiao Wu's eyes were bright and he looked at Qiao Bai in a very threatening way.

Qiao Bai: "Ahem."

"Look..." Qiao Bai stretched out his voice, but he really didn't say it casually: "When did you start losing hair?"

"It just happened to be the beginning when we arrived in Yancheng, right?"

"Maybe it's because of this secret realm!"

The more Qiao Bai spoke, the more confident he became, and his expression looked calmer and more composed: "As long as you figure out what's going on with this three-legged golden crow, what's the relationship between you two, and whether there's any energy affecting you... maybe you'll grow new beautiful feathers again."

Xiao Wu: “!”

It makes sense! He believed it faintly! Go, go, go! Little Crow's gaze towards the vague outline of the three-legged golden crow in the "sun" in the sky gradually became more and more scorching.

Xiao Wu tilted his head.

Hmm... can we say that it actually felt nothing when it saw the corpse of that creature that was suspected to be its own kind? It didn't feel sad at all.

same.

I don't feel very happy either.

The shock and emotional fluctuations that the corpse and figure brought to it were not even as great as when it heard the beastmaster say that its feathers would grow bigger.

Xiao Wu subconsciously rubbed against Qiao Bai's arms.

never mind.

Don’t want to think about it anymore.

Anyway, as long as the hair can grow out, it's fine!

Thinking that Xiao Wu has regained his heroic and high-spirited appearance, he looks so excited.

Qiao Bai touched Xiao Wu and continued to move towards the direction of the "sun", which was the direction of the top of the mountain.

The "sun" hangs high in the sky.

Qiao Bai stood on the top of the mountain.

The range of activities on the top of the mountain is much larger than Qiao Bai imagined.

But...Qiao Bai looked left and right, and there was nothing.

Trees, trees, trees.

What cave?

A secret place.

Inheritance.

None of them.

Qiao Bai silently typed out a question mark.

"No?" Why did the three-legged golden crow project its shadow onto the sun in this secret realm after its death? Is it beautiful?

Pretend you're still alive?

Unless it is to welcome the new three-legged golden crow, there is no need at all.

"Is there a possibility that you have seen what the Three-legged Golden Crow left behind?" How should I put it, the "Angel" did not expect that Qiao Bai's train of thought could go astray to this extent in an instant.

Qiao Bai: “…”

Cough cough.

I subconsciously ignored it.

The elephant in the room is invisible.

Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in both hands and pointed to the direction of the "sun" in the sky: "Do you want to try it?"

The secret of the red soil secret realm must lie in the three-legged golden crow in the "sun".

Xiao Wu stood on Qiao Bai's arm, looking at Qiao Bai with his golden-red eyes. There seemed to be boiling magma flowing in his eyes, as well as Xiao Wu's absolute self-confidence.

Go! You must go! Birds are not afraid of anything! …In fact, birds don’t think there is any danger.

Afraid that Qiao Bai would worry, Xiao Wu, who originally wanted to act cool, ended up adding this sentence hesitantly.

It flapped its wings on Qiao Bai's arm a few times.

The bird goes and comes back.

The beastmaster just needs to wait! Maybe the bird can take the beastmaster out of here later! Hearing this, Qiao Bai laughed and said, "I believe you can do it, go ahead boldly."

"It doesn't matter if there is danger. I will take you back to the spiritual sea beast control space as soon as possible."

Qiao Bai said seriously.

Although doing so might cause some unknown harm to Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, Qiao Bai felt that these were not that important compared to Xiao Wu's safety.

We still have to put Xiao Wu’s safety first.

Xiao Wu lowered his head and rubbed Qiao Bai.

Then it flapped its strong wings and flew towards the "sun" without looking back.

Qiao Bai pulled the cat and bug off his shoulder and held it in his arms.

They all looked at the little crow flying towards the "sun" with serious expressions.

No matter how well Xiao Wu said it, Qiao Bai would definitely still be worried.

Soon Qiao Bai discovered that... the object of his concern seemed to be a little different? That...

Qiao Bai looked up at the little crow in the sky, but because the little crow was flying faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the dazzling "sun", his eyes could not bear it, so Qiao Bai lowered his head subconsciously.

Blinked.

A few tears got stuck on Qiao Bai's eyelashes.

"So...was it my eyes that saw it wrong just now?"

Maomao Chong blinked his messy eyes and looked at Qiao Bai with sympathy.

"Chichi!" Don't fool yourself, beastmaster! You 're not mistaken! What I saw is the same as what you saw!

Big sister! It's shedding! Yes.

The little bird is flying, and its feathers are rapidly falling off, from its head to its back, and then to its wings... In short, more and more flesh-colored skin is exposed.

Then the flesh-colored skin turned into golden red under the shining of the "sun".

It was as if magma was flowing beneath Xiao Wu's skin.

Or more like the essence of the sun.

It’s just this look... For a moment, the words “New Orleans Roast Chicken” popped up in Qiao Bai’s mind.

Cough cough.

Not daring to think about it for even a second, Qiao Bai quickly threw these words out of his mind, making sure that Xiao Wu wouldn't have time to notice.

Otherwise, 6 Qiao Bai didn't really want to try out what it means to be a top-level rebellious son or daughter.

He couldn't bear such a blow.

Did the little bird, flying towards the "sun" like a moth to a flame, notice anything strange about itself, or did it sense what Qiao Bai was thinking? The answers are the same.

No.

None.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, his body seemed to be undergoing an unprecedented transformation - it was getting bigger and bigger, more and more powerful, from blood vessels to skin, from blood to feathers, everything was becoming stronger than ever before, little by little.

Xiao Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It was flying faster and faster.

It’s right in front of me! The three-legged golden crow is right in front of me! “Chiu——”

The little crow let out a loud and tender cry.

He plunged headfirst into the "sun"!

moment.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu’s eyes went dark.

"Sister Su, are we going to die?"

"Can the Alliance really find us?"

"What the hell is this place..."

Listening to the chaotic voices of men and women coming from all around, a loud and powerful female voice spoke directly, stunning these people.

"Shut up."

Su Wenyu's past majesty and his own strength successfully made these people shut up.

She then continued, "Be quiet and conserve your energy. Only in this way can we hold on as long as possible until the Alliance finds us."

The others also gradually quieted down.

Su Wenyu squinted her eyes and tried to see the expressions of the people around her.

pity.

The place they were in was pitch black, as if they were forced to be locked up in a small dark room.

I can't see anything.

There was also a strange energy surrounding them, causing their perception of time to become distorted.

Finally... the pet beasts in the spiritual sea beast control space cannot be released.

Otherwise, some of them might have pets with fire attributes.

In such a dark place, a little light is needed to make people feel more at ease.

A pet with thunder attribute... let's not talk about it.

While providing a little light, it also requires "sacrificing" a companion at random. If the situation was not too bad, Su Wenyu would not really want to use it.

But Su Wenyu also knew in her heart that everyone's support was really reaching its limit.

There were seven of them in the group and they took on this mission.

The compensation given by President Shi is very generous. If they can eat it all, it will be more than double their annual income.

People eat for money and birds die for food.

A truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Although they knew there were great dangers, after discussion, everyone agreed that the danger was that they would have to explore part of the mountain in a short period of time, which would require them to spend a lot of time and energy on it.

But there is so much money here.

Even if I really spend all my time on it, so what? Then...

And then nothing happened.

The mountain range moved before their eyes and swallowed them all in one gulp.

I thought my life would just be gone like this.

Unexpectedly.

They still have a day to open their eyes.

In a small dark room.

There was a sudden sense of time and no idea of ​​how to leave, and everyone's mood gradually became worse and worse.

Some people even complained quietly, if it had just disappeared like that...

“Plop——”

Just as Su Wenyu's mind was filled with messy thoughts and he wanted to think more deeply about this idea, a loud noise caught Su Wenyu's attention.

"Everyone, don't move!"

Not only Su Wenyu heard the noise, but the other six people also heard it.

They quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then I saw...

Light? It looked vaguely like a flickering, burning flame.

There was also a humanoid figure lying there.

Several people looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with the same confusion.

no?

Wow! Someone else is as unlucky as us? He was thrown in here too! Wait!

Could this person be coming to find them and rescue them?

The crowd who had a slight thought of gloating just now immediately threw the thought out of their minds and hurriedly headed towards the figure to check it out.

If you have injuries on your body...

A creature that was flashing a faint, warm, colorful light in the dark environment and waving its twelve long tentacles, with only a vague outline visible, stood in front of them.

Everyone stopped instantly.

"Pet?"

"It seems to be... a jellyfish?"

"Can jellyfish float in the air?"

"It seems not possible. Unless they are fighting for a period of time, most jellyfish still need an environment with abundant water resources."

"It's probably not a jellyfish, but whatever..."

They all looked at the outline on the ground at the same time.

That must be a big shot! Everyone thought to themselves with certainty.

An hour later, when Qiao Bai was rescued, he still hadn't woken up. He was directly carried onto the charging mountain goat and sent to the hospital without looking back. They were still in a daze.

"I thought we would have to communicate after he woke up and maybe even comfort each other..."

"I didn't expect that he would be rescued so soon?"

"What on earth is going on?"

"It's only been less than a day and a night? I don't know if it's my illusion, but it feels like a whole month has passed!"

"Anyway, it's finally out!"

The rescued members of the Red Earth Expedition Team all had big happy smiles on their faces.

Su Wenyu looked at Qiao Bai's departing back, and at several beastmasters nearby who looked extremely powerful and far superior to her, and pursed her lips slightly.

She seemed to see that one of the pets he was holding in his arms underwent a huge change in an instant.

Faced with the inquiries from the alliance, Su Wenyu thought about it and still did not mention this point.

…

Qiao Bai woke up to the smell of disinfectant.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to frown.

dislike.

It's a different world now, technology is advanced, why does the hospital still have this smell?

"You can still frown and show disgust. It seems that your health is still pretty good." At this moment, Ning Ruxue's voice came from the side of Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai's heart skipped a beat.

I was scared.

Turning his head, Qiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was someone he knew.

Looking at Qiao Bai's tense and then relaxed body, Ning Ruxue quickly cut off the last piece of apple peel in her hand and then cut the fruit into pieces.

"Tell me what happened." Ning Ruxue pushed the cut apple towards Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai took a look and said, "Is this considered... a bribe or compensation?"

As he said that, Qiao Bai ate a piece.

Chew chew chew.

It’s not that Qiao Bai likes eating apples very much.

Instead, Qiao Bai was thinking about how to say this matter.

How did he faint?

very good.

Qiao Bai also wanted to ask how he fainted.

One second before he passed out, Qiao Bai remembered that he was still watching Xiao Wu rushing towards the sun, and then thinking of Orleans in his mind... ahem, he couldn't think about it.

It couldn't be that Xiao Wu sensed what he was thinking.

Pull him along to die together? No, no, no.

Qiao Bai crossed this nonsensical answer out of his mind.

impossible.

Absolutely not.

Qiao Bai tapped the quilt with his fingers. He wanted to ask the "angel".

Forehead……

wrong.

Is it possible that the catworm, the little white snake and the little jellyfish also saw what happened in the last scene?
