Although the Thunderbird circled without leaving, it dared not land again, only responding with a low call in mid-air.
Another rumble of thunder sounded, and Xu Ling looked at the dark birds in front of her with surprise.
Although she had a suspicion, she was still shocked when it became a reality.
However, now is not the time to be surprised. The Thunderbird noticed Xu Ling's gaze and hovered above her head, its urgent cries continuing without ceasing.
Thunderbird flew at a height that was neither too high nor too low, just high enough that it was out of reach of Fei'er, leaving her only able to stand beside Xu Ling and stare helplessly.
Xu Ling was unaware of this; looking at the Thunderbird, she suddenly felt as if it was asking her for help.
But is that really true?
Xu Ling was very suspicious.
Perhaps the look of doubt on her face was too obvious, because the thunderbird cried out again, and the cry became more and more urgent.
For some reason, Xu Ling's heart seemed to grow anxious. She felt that something had happened, but she didn't know what it was, so her anxiety increased.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said to the Thunderbird, "Do you want my help? If so, make a sound."
Xu Ling didn't know if Thunderbird could understand, but she was willing to give it a try.
If the Thunderbird cries out twice, she's willing to help!
After speaking, Xu Ling raised her head and waited quietly for Thunderbird's response.
One sound, two sounds.
The Thunderbird opened its beak and let out two cries from its throat before closing its beak tightly.
Two deafening claps of thunder suddenly exploded in her ears, startling Xu Ling even though she was prepared.
However, the thunder soon subsided.
There was no third clap of thunder for a long time, so it seemed that the Thunderbird was indeed seeking help.
"Let's go!" Xu Ling called out, her gaze fixed on the thunderbird circling above her head. "You lead the way!"
Since Thunderbird was able to respond to her words just now, it should be able to understand what she is saying now!
As she expected, before Xu Ling could finish speaking, the Thunderbird flapped its wings rapidly and immediately flew back in the direction it had come from.
Seeing this, Xu Ling did not hesitate and immediately went to follow.
However, just as she was about to take a step, she was stopped by Fei Er.
"Master, you mustn't!"
The enormous Moonlight Silver Wolf blocked Xu Ling's path, its silver-gray wolf eyes staring at her with utmost seriousness.
"Master, you can't go!"
They had no idea whether the Thunderbirds were friend or foe.
Although they are unlikely to be threatened in barren lands, they should still be wary of others.
Anyone who can face the dangers of barren lands without fear must be exceptionally strong; if something were to happen to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Kaopu naturally thought of this as well. It came over and stood with Feier to block Xu Ling's way, and together they tried to dissuade her.
"Host, don't go."
In any case, anyone who can get Thunderbird to ask for help must be quite powerful.
If someone can come to the barren lands and make the Thunderbirds obey, then the dangers they encounter are probably not much of a danger to the other party.
But if Xu Ling went there, wouldn't that be blatantly telling the other party that people can survive in the center of a barren land?
Even if the other party is completely unaware at first, wouldn't they develop covetous thoughts once they discover it later?
Human nature is unpredictable.
When Moonlight Silver Wolf first arrived, Reliable refused.
It's okay to make a mistake once; it's better to let Xu Ling get into trouble again.
Seeing that Fei'er and Kaopu clearly disagreed with her decision, Xu Ling frowned deeply.
She knew her decision was impulsive.
But for some reason, a voice inside her told her that she had to go and see.
Xu Ling's heart began to pound again, and her nerves tensed up.
A silent force was urging her to set off quickly.
Just then, after flying some distance, the Thunderbird realized that Xu Ling hadn't followed at all, so it immediately flew back and circled above her head, urging her on.
The continuous rumble of thunder lingered in Xu Ling's ears.
The thunder grew louder and louder, and Xu Ling's nerves tightened even more.
Finally, with a "snap," the string in Xu Ling's heart snapped.
Immediately, she disregarded everything else, took a step forward, and then disappeared before Fei'er and Kaopu's eyes in full view of everyone.
As she landed, she instructed the Thunderbird, "Go, lead the way quickly!"
It was obvious that Xu Ling had no intention of listening to Fei Er and Kao Pu's advice and decided to help Thunderbird!
Xu Ling's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight. Kao Pu's pupils shrank, and without thinking, he turned around to look behind him.
Just as it had predicted, Xu Ling appeared behind them.
With her back to them, Xu Ling took another step forward, instantly widening the distance between them!
This is Xu Ling's Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique!
Xu Ling hadn't used this move in a long time, and Kaopu had almost forgotten that she still had this ability!
However, after taking two or three steps forward, Xu Ling's figure quickly shrank.
Seeing Xu Ling getting further and further away from them, Kaopu immediately ran after her.
"Host, don't go!"
Fei'er, who was initially confused, quickly turned around when she saw how reliable it was.
However, when Fei turned around, Xu Ling was no longer visible, and even the Thunderbird had become a dark dot.
If someone is reliable, Fei'er can still catch a glimpse of their abilities.
Seeing that the reliable one was about to disappear from his sight in the next second, Fei Er immediately disregarded everything else and chased after him.
Fortunately, he had absorbed plant essence some time ago, which temporarily suppressed his snake venom. Otherwise, at this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Xu Ling and Kaopu left.
Soon, even Fier disappeared without a trace, leaving only the little fairy and Thanos behind.
The two blinked, still not quite understanding what was happening.
Once he realized what was going on, Thanos immediately tried to chase after her without hesitation. However, he was stopped by the goblin after only two steps.
What are you going to do?
"Get out of the way! Fei'er is about to go blind!"
Thanos glared at the goblin with his wolf eyes, his anger palpable.
It was clear to the naked eye that Fei'er's figure was getting further and further away; if they didn't chase after her soon, they really wouldn't be able to catch up!
