Seen from a high vantage point, the stone forest in a circle of thick dust is spectacular and uneven, each of them standing on the ground like a stick-shaped artifact dropped from the Tiancang Divine Realm.

Between each stone pillar, there were gravels of varying sizes, some sharp and some round. If this scene were not only in Xia Xiao's earthly space, but also in the mortal world, it would surely attract countless people to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

However, among all these creations, Xia Xiao only cared about the stone pillar in the center. This pillar was not the tallest or the thinnest, but it had strange patterns and was the thickest, and seemed to be able to support the sky and would not collapse. On it, Xia Xiao stood on the altar, looking at the little guy on it with curiosity and joy, his eyebrows raised very high.

The reason why Xia Xiao temporarily joined the Adventurer's Guild's caravan was because the Earth Spirit Beast had awakened, but this little guy didn't seem very smart. The small stone had turned into several pieces, connected together like a small snake, but it had two claws and two horns on its head, and looked like a dragon. But the eyes that were opened like black dots were dull and lifeless, like a small lizard basking in the sun, but in fact it had been roasted.

Xia Xiao frowned at this featureless little guy. How could he fight? However, with Ju Mang's experience, Xia Xiao calmed down and knew not to be too disappointed with the newly born Five Spirit Beasts, because they could always grow up and have extremely strong combat power. After all, they were in charge of the entire earth element.

Even so, Xia Xiao still wanted to communicate with the Earth Spirit Beast, but it didn't reply for a long time, nor did it move. It just floated in the air stupidly, making Xia Xiao lose the mind to name it.

"Hello?"

Xia Xiao waved his hand, and the little lizard opened his clenched claws and moved his toes, which were like pieces of gravel. He seemed to be very curious about his toes, because they could move, so he looked at them for a long time. Xia Xiao thought this guy looked like a sloth, but how could there be such a long sloth?

Although the little lizard was still very small, it was longer than Xia Xiao's arm. Such a slender body didn't look like a lizard at all, but a dragon couldn't be as hard as a rock, so it should at least be full of energy, right?

Without claws, it looks like a giant rock snake that has not grown up. Xia Xiao is used to his spirit beasts having strange appearances. Ju Mang is neither a human nor a bird. Huo Dou was neither a dog nor a deer at first, but now it looks like a lion, a tiger, and a mastiff, but it is still just a big dog. Xiao Yu is a combination of a shark and a human, and the golden spirit beast is a real sword.

From this point of view, the earth spirit beast's behavior was not strange, and was even normal. But it slowly fell to the ground and stopped floating.

Xia Xiao was a little afraid of snakes at first, but as his strength grew, he gradually overcame those long, slippery, legless creatures. But looking at the earth spirit beast, he just couldn't like it. He was afraid that this little guy would suddenly open his mouth and bite him with its venomous fangs.

Lying on the altar, the slender little guy raised his head to look at Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao found that its movements were a little slow, and immediately became annoyed. If it starts to move slowly now, what will happen in the future? Xia Xiao thought that he could grow very big. A small lizard would have little deterrent power, and it was too different from the huge and honest style of Tu Xing. But the bigger it gets, the slower it moves. Would it be a living target for others in the future?

Feeling more troubled, Xia Xiao sat cross-legged on the altar, and was hit by a small stone. He reached out and touched it, threw it aside, and sighed:

"What bad luck."

The little guy tilted his head and stared blankly for a long time, as if he didn't understand what Xia Xiao said. Xia Xiao was also in a daze sitting in front of him. This was the first time he was helpless because of the awakening of the spirit beast.

When Ju Mang awakened, he started picking flowers and learning to talk from him. He was very cute and easy to get along with. Huo Dou started biting himself as soon as he awakened, but he could also talk. Although Xiao Yu was very resistant to everything around him when he awakened, Xia Xiao knew that he should coax him. Even if the gold spirit beast awakened, Xia Xiao knew that he should conquer him, but the earth spirit beast just stood there in a daze, and he didn't know what to do when he saw it.

"Can you understand me?"

Xia Xiao pointed at him, then at himself, trying to struggle again. Logically speaking, he should be able to understand what he was saying even with telepathy.

"Go pick up that pebble."

Xia Xiao pointed to a small stone not far away and made a gesture to pick it up. If it were Ju Mang and Xiao Yu, they would have picked it up long ago. Huo Dou might scold him, and the Golden Spirit Beast would snort disdainfully, but it was better than standing there in a daze. Looking at the little guy with eyes as big as black beans, Xia Xiao stared at him, full of hope many times, but he just didn't move.

When Xia Xiao was about to give up, the little guy flew away in a puff of smoke, his body as fast as lightning, making Xia Xiao's eyes light up. But it was only a few meters away, and it was amazing that he could fall twice. However, the little guy still brought the small stone back, and Xia Xiao touched his head that was only as big as the palm of his hand. This round head really looked like a stone. While laughing, Xia Xiao whispered:

"I was impatient before, it was my fault. You are just born, I will teach you well, how about we walk first?"

How could Wang Jinlong have imagined that Xia Xiao, whom he had been looking for, was playing with a lizard at this moment...

Because the little guy was a reptile, Xia Xiao couldn't communicate with it well whether he was standing or squatting, so he imitated him and lay completely on the ground with his face against the altar.

The place was filled with the smell of dirt, and even had a desolate feeling like a smoke in the desert, but he still looked at the little guy beside him and told him to walk slowly. He really couldn't walk very well yet, and his movements were stiff, but Xia Xiao was always watching him, cheering him up, making this little lizard that didn't fit in with the surroundings laugh happily.

His face was not as bright as Ju Mang Xiaoyu's, and his smile was not obvious, but by the induction between them, Xia Xiao knew that he was very happy. This little guy was a little slow, but when Xia Xiao was patient, he found that he was very interesting, at least his heart was pure, without any impurities, and he was comparable to Ju Mang at the beginning.

Among all the spirit beasts, only Ju Mang is the most normal, neither angry nor sad, neither fierce nor stupid, but unfortunately he is not with Xia Xiao. But he has grown from a seedling into a vine as tall as Xiao Ran's knees. It will be a strange flower and a lovely new creature.

Thinking that the five spirit beasts would be together and they would meet soon, Xia Xiao was happy and followed the little guy around the altar several times. His mental strength was not as good as Ju Mang's, and he felt tired after walking a few times, as if he was carrying a heavy package. However, he himself was a huge burden, so this was normal.

Watching him stretch his body on the altar and then close his strange eyes, Xia Xiao laughed. How could a creature's eyes be like a black dot, with no distinction between pupil and lens? Are you serious? Xia Xiao felt that this little guy was a hasty work of the Creator, but since he was an earth spirit beast, he would definitely be powerful when he grew up.

Xia Xiao was waiting for that day, waiting for him to control the complete earth element to give himself strong power. At the same time, he thought of a good name that was not bad, how about calling it Mountain Sheep? Xia Xiao discussed it with himself and explained it. This name is not bad, mountain means power, and tongue is homophonic with snake.

“What a nice name!”

Xia Xiao slapped his thigh, murmured, and saw that the little guy was sleeping, so he left carefully and went to another space. After finally finding some time, he stayed in the space and didn't want to go out. Compared with the big men in the outside world, his companions were the most important. They had accompanied him in the past, were by his side now, and would continue to be by his side in the future.

Before coming to the Earth Element Space, Xia Xiao had been to the Wood Element Space and the Water Element Space. He had been paying attention to Ju Mang's rebirth and always cared about the timid Xiao Yu, so he was not afraid that Huo Dou and the Golden Spirit Beast would feel uncomfortable.

At present, Xia Xiao went to the volcano. As for the metal palace, he did not plan to go there today. Anyway, if he went there, they would quarrel. The golden spirit beast would only blame him for not returning to the right path and seemed to have not fulfilled his promise to him. But how could it be so easy? Xia Xiao even wanted to catch Hei Huang and the dark forces behind her in one fell swoop. In that case, he would have avenged himself and feel at ease.

During the chat, Huo Dou was worried about this trip, which caused Xia Xiao to scold:

"Are you scared, you bastard?"

"Afraid? I've been with you through the heavens and the seas, but you're afraid of the dark. You really underestimate me. And if it weren't for my fire element, you would have died long ago."

A long time ago, Xia Xiao had a special magic needle and magic energy in his body. If it weren't for the evil spirit that melted it, Xia Xiao would have been in trouble. He knew this, and he knew how important the evil spirit was to him. But it was good not to be afraid. Only if he was not afraid, the strong flame could release light when the road ahead was dark or difficult to see.

Xia Xiao briefly mentioned the current situation and then talked about the new member of Shanshe.

"That little guy looks a bit like a lizard, longer than my arm, but very thin and a bit stupid. I don't know how big he will grow."

"Let me guess, you named him?"

"certainly."

"What's your name?"

"Mountain tongue."

Xia Xiao didn't know if Huotou knew the two words, but he raised his dog head and laughed, and the volcano that had been dormant for a long time began to bubble because of his laughter. But Xia Xiao sat on the altar and put his feet in it, just like soaking his feet in hot water. He didn't think it was funny, but Huotou kept saying:

"With such a stupid name, why not just call him Hanhan?"

"Hey, you also know Hanhan? I really should praise you, you bastard, is that a normal name?"

"Remember the last time we met a guy named Goudan? There are names like that, so what's Hanhan?"

"How long ago was that? And that's a nickname, it should be casual, not too noble. I've also seen nicknames like Lai Baozi, Bitch and Taokouzi, what's Goudan?"

"What are the names?"

Huodou laughed even more happily, but there are all kinds of names. Xia Xiao stayed with him for a while, and Huodou felt the same as Ju Mang in the past, and thought it was not bad. But when Xia Xiao left, Huodou asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Trouble is coming. We can't beat them now. We have to run away quickly."

"You're here so soon?"

"Such a large mass of life energy, I can't be wrong. And don't underestimate him, after all, he is at the Cangtian realm. The gap between me and him is not comparable to the ninety-four rings of the Yuanqi tree."

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot, and he opened his eyes in the outside world.
