Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 386 I Won’t Become a Link in Their Play

Xiao felt like he knew why Red Xiao returned empty-handed last night.

This place is only a few kilometers away from Lanyuan Town, and Hongxiao must have been here last night.

Then this is the only explanation left.

He had no bait.

It's like fishing without bait, only those who are willing to take the bait will do so. Obviously, none of these willow-eating earth dragons are willing to do so.

Do you want to tell him?

Xiao thought about it and gave up the idea.

Forget it. He was already in a bad mood because he returned empty-handed. If he knew that this was the reason, he would be so pitiful.

On the other side, seeing that Xiao didn't say anything, Bai Jie found another topic.

His eyes fell on the red star under Xiao, and in contrast, the golden leopard he was riding was staring at Xiao closely, as if trying to confirm something.

"Young master, your mount seems to be very precious. It must have cost you a lot of money, right?" As he said that, Bai Jie stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Chixing. Unexpectedly, Chixing immediately grinned, and he was so scared that he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Oh, it's so fierce."

Chi Xing bared his teeth and said, "The relationship between me and my master cannot be measured by money!"

Xiao still ignored it. He didn't know what the other party was trying to do.

Test the strength information on your side?

Xiao thought for a moment and decided to correct him: "I am not a young master."

Bai Jie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What is that?"

"My name is Xiao." Xiao answered seriously.

"Oh~~" Bai Jie deliberately prolonged his tone, "So it's Master Xiao."

elf:"??"

Bai Jie still had a smiling expression on his face, as if he didn't notice the frown on Xiao's face at all: "Where did you get your mount, Master Xiao? This is much cooler than my Wind Hunter Cloud Leopard. I want to get one too."

"..."

"Bai Jie!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came into the ears of Xiao and Bai Jie. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yang Ce staring at this side.

Seeing Bai Jie looking over, he ordered word by word, "Come back here."

"Yang is calling me." Bai Jie gave Xiao a bright smile and waved goodbye, "Master Xiao, let's talk next time."

Don't talk about it.

Xiao looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.

Do I know you well?

Xiao withdrew his gaze and focused on the road ahead, wondering whether he should tell Baili Ling and the others about the approaching Willow-Devouring Earth Dragon.

Perhaps they have discovered it.

At this moment, another small voice came into his ears.

"This guy is really brave. He actually dares to talk and laugh with such a terrifying boss."

Xiao looked back in the direction of the voice and found that the person speaking was Ding Shu.

Since he did not hide his actions, the other party also noticed his gaze.

Ding Shu's face changed and he quickly moved behind Ren Liang to avoid his sight.

elf:"……"

He asked in his heart, "What nightmares will I dream of as a result of the aftermath of the manifestation of anger?"

Red Xiao replied unhappily, "How should I know?"

Not getting the answer he wanted, Xiao looked again at Ding Shu who was hiding behind Ren Liang.

It's been so long, why do you still have such a big grudge against me? You couldn't have really dreamed of me in a nightmare, right?

Xiao Zhong was complaining in his heart, and he caught a glimpse of Old Man Hu stopping. He turned the camel in another direction and looked at the group of disciples from the sect.

A slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Here it comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the camel under him suddenly dodged to the side with an agility that was not suitable for its size.

The next moment, yellow sand rose high, and a yellow-brown body several people thicker emerged from the ground and appeared exactly where he had just stood.

If the camel had dodged a little slower, the man and the beast would have been swallowed by the attacker's wide-open mouth.

The attracted willow-eating earth dragon appeared, looking like an enlarged earthworm.

Because of the agreement, Xiao did not take any action.

On the other side, Yang Ce's eyes focused, and as soon as he uttered the word "up", a nimble figure passed by him and shot towards the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon with half of its body exposed.

A silver light flashed, and the roar of the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon stopped abruptly.

There was only a loud "bang" and the ground shook slightly with the sound. The upper body of the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon fell to the ground, creating a huge sand pit. The liquid flowing out of the broken part wet all the yellow sand in the pit.

At the same time, the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon's lower body, which had not yet emerged from the ground, immediately drilled into the ground.

This sudden scene startled everyone except Xiao.

However, the figure that rushed out did not continue to attack, but allowed the severed half of the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon's body to twist desperately in the sand pit, trying to bury itself in the mud.

Among the stunned people, Yang Ce was the first to react. He grasped the sword at his waist and pulled it out suddenly. The sword light was like a long whip, lifting the half of the Willow-Devouring Earth Dragon into the air and stopping it from burrowing back into the ground.

"What are you all just standing there watching?"

After being scolded by him, the other disciples of the sect finally came to their senses and rushed forward together.

Under the siege of five Saints, the half-willow-eating earth dragon quickly lost its life.

The five men recovered useful materials from the corpse, while Yang Ce walked over to Bai Jie and asked coldly, "What did you mean just now?"

"Hey, Yang, are you mad at me?" Bai Jie raised his hands, still smiling, but his tone was pitiful. "It was you who shouted 'Go!', I just did what I was told, but none of you followed me, and we almost let the prey get away. Yang, how can you blame me alone for this?"

Before Yang Ce could say anything, a man who was collecting materials stopped what he was doing and retorted unhappily, "You're clearly adding to the chaos! The Willow-Eating Earth Dragon is very alert. If it senses danger during a probing attack, it will immediately retreat into the sand. Therefore, you must get it off the ground before launching a fatal attack."

"Is that so?" Bai Jie showed a look of sudden enlightenment, then stared at Yang Ce with resentment: "Yang, why didn't you tell me?"

"Is there a possibility that among the people I command..." Yang Ce paused, raised his finger, and emphasized, "You are not included."

Every time he uttered the last four words, he poked Bai Jie's heart hard, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Bai Jie covered the spot where he was poked, revealing a hurt expression. He said pitifully, "Yang, why are you like this? I've been with you for so long, I thought we were good friends, but you actually, you actually treat me like an outsider!"

"Who is your friend?" Yang Ce rolled his eyes at him, as if he was speechless.

He walked away without continuing to talk nonsense with Bai Jie.

On the other side, although Xiao didn't show it on his face, he was actually eating the melon with relish.

Suddenly, he heard Baili Ling sigh and say, "I'm afraid the road ahead will not be peaceful."

Xiao turned to look at Baili Ling, and quickly understood what he meant from the other's solemn expression.

They are now teammates with this weirdo named "Bai Jie". The situation of Yang Ce and others is likely to be their situation in the future.

Hiss, this melon suddenly becomes tasteless.

Ding Shu popped his head out from behind Ren Liang and yelled, "Captain, what's wrong with you? Why don't you pick some better temporary teammates?"

However, it was not Baili Ling who answered him.

"I heard it, that kid over there." Bai Jie stretched out three fingers and gestured back and forth between himself and Ding Shu.

"You are the child, your whole family are children." Ding Shu shouted.

"Hey—" Bai Jie said in feigned surprise, "So you're not a child? But you're clearly the size of a child."

Ding Shu is not tall and is only slightly stronger than Xiao.

Xiao: Why do I feel like I’m being targeted for no reason?

"Okay." Baili Ling interrupted their quarrel.

He shrugged at his team members and said in a low voice, helplessly, "This person wasn't present during the discussion. I just found out there's such an unstable factor in their team. We'll just have to make do with it for now, but it's best to be cautious on the journey ahead."

The four of them nodded in unison, and Xiao also gave himself a shot of defense, always on guard against Bai Jie's bad intentions against him.

It turns out that Xiao's intuition is very accurate.

During the following day, the team encountered eight attacks from the Willow-Devouring Earth Dragon. Bai Jie caused trouble eight times and harassed Xiao eight times.

Xiao was also left speechless by this person.

He had no idea why this guy was targeting him and trying to cause trouble. He just stood there and had no time to talk to him, and then when Yang Ce called him, he immediately went back.

Suddenly, Xiao thought of something and frowned.

Hiss, will I become a part of their play?

If there was someone here who knew Xiao inside and out—such as Huang Guxuan—then this person would definitely tease Xiao: So, you have come to this day too!

Finally, during the last harassment, Bai Jie didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to see Xiao's eyes change color at a certain moment. Before he could investigate further, the golden-haired leopard under him was frightened for some reason and suddenly lost control.

He was very skilled and was not thrown off by the golden leopard.

So, the man and the leopard turned around and ran towards the setting sun in the sky.
