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

Chapter 333: Dan is dead

The bronze door disappeared into darkness, with a few rays of light pouring down from above.

Xiao woke up.

He rubbed his brows and asked in his heart: "What do you think of the dream just now?"

"The presence behind the door is very powerful."

After hearing Green Xiao's answer, Xiao couldn't help but wonder, how could you tell the strength behind the door just based on a dream?

Could it be that he was thinking the same thing as me?

This door is used to seal away something dangerous and powerful.

In response, Green Xiao only answered with two words: "Intuition."

At this moment, a string of meaningless syllables floated past Xiao's back, interrupting his thoughts.

Xiao turned around and saw Lao Li still shaking the bell in his hand and dancing strangely around the pond.

The ceremony is not over yet.

It seems that I woke up a little early.

Looking away, Xiao noticed that the originally calm surface of the lake began to ripple at some point. Before he could figure out the reason, the stone under his butt began to shake violently.

earthquake.

Everything around was still the same as before. The temple stones and plants were unnaturally firmly rooted in the ground, with no signs of collapsing or rolling. However, Xiao lost his balance and slid into the pool with a splash.

With another "splash" sound, a wet head emerged from the water.

Xiao shook his hair until it stood up again, wiped the water off his face, and grabbed the nearest big rock to prevent himself from slipping again.

Why is it that every time there’s an earthquake in the hot spring, I accidentally slip and fall?

He groaned secretly.

Just as Xiao had settled down, he heard a "bang" sound of someone falling into the water not far away.

Doctor Mo also fell?

Xiao thought about it, raised his eyebrows, looked in the direction of the sound, and found that Mo Zuche was safe and sound, lying on the shore looking anxiously, as if he had lost something very important.

Xiao followed Mo Zuche's gaze again.

The egg with molten gold patterns was rolling "gurgling" towards the deeper parts of the pool. In a blink of an eye, it fell into the bottom of the pool which had become extremely turbid due to the earthquake and disappeared from sight. When Xiao looked over, he just caught the last trace of the egg.

Well, something important was indeed lost.

Mo Zuche noticed Xiao's gaze and turned his head. Their eyes met for a moment, and Xiao read a request from the other's eyes.

Since you're already wet, why don't you help me pick up an egg from the bottom of the water?

What does "I'm wet anyway" mean?

Xiao speechlessly withdrew his gaze and looked towards the turbid bottom of the water. Suddenly, he found that a ray of light appeared in the area with low visibility.

Hey, what is that? Is the egg glowing?

The instinct of chasing light was awakened. Xiao took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the place where the light was coming from.

Mo Zuche thought that it was the kind-hearted Xiao who agreed to help, and cast a grateful look at Xiao's gradually blurry back.

During the dive, Xiao found that the water temperature was slightly higher than before.

Is it because the earthquake changed the geological structure?

Xiao tried to find a scientific explanation.

The pool was only a few meters deep. As Xiao continued to dive, the water temperature rose rapidly. When it changed from warm to hot even to Xiao, Xiao was finally sure that it was the egg that Mozuche rolled into the deep water that was glowing. The grooves on the surface of the egg glowed with an orange-red light, like flowing magma.

Seeing this, Xiao had a bold guess: it was the heat emitted by the eggs that caused the water temperature to rise.

But didn’t Green Mandrill say that the egg was dead?

"It's alive." At this moment, the green goblin suddenly said, "I feel life in the egg."

Is Dan faking his death?

Xiao was a little surprised.

But water is not a suitable place for thinking after all. He swam forward quickly despite the scorching temperature and picked up the egg.

At first, he was a little worried that the eggs would be hot, so he took special precautions, but he found that he was worrying too much.

In the current environment, holding the egg, I even feel a little cold.

Soon, Xiao surfaced with the eggs.

At this time, the ground had stopped shaking. The earthquake lasted only a dozen seconds and there was no aftershock.

On the other side, Mozuche also noticed the changes in the egg and cast a questioning look at Xiao, wanting to know what the egg had experienced in the water.

Xiao shook his head. He didn't know what was going on, but as he swam upstream, he had a guess in his mind.

The changes in the eggs may be related to the mountain god.

He made this guess based on the fact that the mountain god had previously bestowed power upon Chixing.

"Boy, are you okay?"

Xiao felt a weight on his shoulders, and heard Lao Li's concerned voice from behind him.

The ceremony was over when Xiao dived into the water to find the eggs.

Xiao shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Mo Zuche's voice sounded again not far away: "What was the result of the ceremony?"

Xiao turned around in the water and looked up at Lao Li.

At this time, Lao Li's attention was on Mo Zuche.

"It went exceptionally smoothly. The mountain god even responded. Um... it was the earthquake just now."

Mo Zuche hurriedly asked: "What did He say?"

"Lord Mountain God is very surprised. What I have told you does not match His understanding."

Xiao immediately thought of the black shadow he killed at the bottom of the pool.

"Did the envoy use his tricks to keep the mountain god completely in the dark?" he muttered softly.

If one wants to break the order envoy's methods, it will be a huge task for oneself, and no one else can help.

"Then what?" Mo Zuche continued to ask, "After the mountain god knows the situation, can he take action?"

Old Li sighed and shook his head, saying, "With Lord Mountain God's current condition, it is impossible to find the enemy's location."

"Do you need us to locate it?"

"My Lord did not say that. My Lord only said what he just said."

“Hiss…” Mo Zuche’s eyes darkened, he held his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

Without any definite answer, this situation will be very difficult to deal with.

Find another way, or...

At this time, Lao Li finally noticed the abnormality of the egg in Xiao's arms.

"This is?"

Xiao came back to his senses and replied, "There was an earthquake just now, and the egg fell to the bottom of the pond, and it became like this."

Old Li stared at the egg with his eyes, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He stopped looking at the egg and asked Xiao: "Young man, did you have a dream just now?"

Xiao nodded slightly and told him everything he had seen in his dream.

"I understand!" After hearing what Xiao said, Lao Li suddenly clapped his hands, with an excited look on his face, "I understand!"

Xiao and Mo Zuche were almost startled by his sudden reaction. They looked at each other, and the latter asked, "What did you understand, sir?"

Old Li cleared his throat, suppressed his joy, and replied in a serious tone, "Lord Mountain God invites you to his mansion for a chat."

Xiao raised his brows slightly: "How did you figure that out?"

"You said you dreamed of a door in the water opening a crack, which means it's an invitation for you to come in." Lao Li replied with a calm look.

So it doesn't mean that something bad is coming out of the door?

Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

"How do we get to the mountain god's residence?" Mo Zuche asked.

His original intention was to convey his thoughts to the mountain god. Now that he could communicate with the mountain god face to face, that was naturally the best thing that could happen.

Lao Li replied: "The top of the mountain, the bottom of Tianchi Lake."

"Top of the mountain?" Mo Zuche was slightly stunned, then looked hesitant.

Not to mention that the environment of Baihe Mountain is harsh and there are mazes, so it is very difficult to reach the top. The second-level order makes it very likely that Xueying is also on the top of the mountain. If we just go up like this, we may as well not only fail to see the mountain god but also get ourselves killed.

Even if a genius from a top-level immortal sect wants to defeat an envoy of a higher level, he must carefully consider whether the trump cards he has prepared are sufficient.

He is an emperor-level warrior, and we only have two king-level warriors, and we have to deal with him, not to mention a burden. How can we deal with him?

On the other hand, unlike Mozuche’s anxiety, Xiao has a more indifferent attitude.

With the previous practical experience, even if he just sneaked in front of Xueying, he was confident that he could lead his men away safely.

Moreover, he was just escorting people up the mountain without any personal purpose.

As for what Lao Li said, the mountain god could answer his question about the red goblin, he didn't have any expectations. After all, the mountain god hadn't told him how to solve the previous question specifically.

Xiao was waiting for Mo Zuche to make a decision when he suddenly felt the egg in his arms vibrate. Just as he subconsciously lowered his head, a ray of light shot from the golden pattern on the egg into his brow.

He was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and the ease on his face completely disappeared.
