"No, I'm afraid of dying. My senior brother isn't here right now, and I can't guarantee that Red Boy will save me. I'd better wait obediently. Being a good teammate means not holding someone back."
Although the system's suggestion might be feasible, and she had tried it before underwater, falling from the seabed and falling from a great height are two completely different things.
...
"Waaaaahh ...
"Waaaaah!!"
A sharp sound erupted, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky. Xu Milu's eyes sharpened, and she followed the direction in which the shadow fell. Sure enough, on the snow thirty miles outside the city, she saw a large, monstrous bird that was on the verge of death.
The bird was entirely black, resembling a hawk, but it had two enormous horns on its head, like those of a ram. It was large and stout, with a patch of soft white feathers beneath its broad wings. Three enormous claws protruded from its belly, their sharp, long nails gleaming with a cold light.
"Waaaaah!!"
The Gu Diao howled mournfully, its fur looking as if it had been scorched by fire, and the air reeked of burnt flesh.
Red Boy floated barefoot in mid-air, toying with a shimmering, precious bottle in his hand. After a short while, his expression darkened, and he refused to speak, his face grim.
"That wretched creature! It truly deserves to die!"
"What's wrong? Is the boy injured?"
Xu Milu was puzzled. Red Boy jumped down from the cloud in a few steps, rubbed his nose, spit out a spark, and then said arrogantly:
"What can a mere Gu Diao do to me? It's just that the treasure bottle in this wretched creature's hand has some history—I once went to the Queen Mother of the West's Jade Pool Banquet with the Bodhisattva and met the Queen Mother of the West's sheng-playing fairy, Dong Shuangcheng. She had a crystal treasure bottle with boundless magical power in her hand. That bottle has some connection with the pure bottle in the Bodhisattva's hand. Only the pure bottle contains nectar, while Dong Shuangcheng's treasure bottle contains snow."
Xu Milu realized, "So, this Gu eagle stole the Snow God's treasure bottle for storing snow and is causing havoc in the human world? Could it be that this Gu eagle has some connection with the Snow God?"
"This Gu Diao is probably not going to survive."
Red Boy had some regrets:
"The heavenly rules are strict, and every bit of snowfall is predetermined. This wretched creature stole the glass bottle and secretly caused heavy snowfall. It even managed to evade the eyes of the Heavenly Court's Duty Officer by relying on this treasure. Once the mortal emperor files a complaint with the Heavenly Court, this wicked beast will surely be skinned alive and have its tendons pulled out when its crimes of harming people and secretly causing heavy snowfall are exposed."
He sighed rather melancholy, his face full of sorrow:
"Now that's great. I was hoping to find a rare beast that was hard to find anywhere in the world to make my mother happy, but now even the Gu Diao is gone."
"Is the young master looking for a rare and exotic beast, one that is rarely seen in the heavens and on earth?"
Xu Milu thought for a moment and said, "I have a strange beast here. It is good at floating on water and has a docile personality. Its only drawback is that it eats a lot and is a bit lazy. Why don't you take it back and raise it?"
