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

Chapter 321 Gluten Dragon

"Uh, this..."

Xiao was slightly startled, obviously not expecting the topic to suddenly turn to himself.

He unconsciously lowered his eyes, as if trying to think about how to respond.

How should I answer this...

He would keep food in his storage bracelet, but he did often use what was available.

There was indeed a reason why he ate the frozen ears raw. Judging from the final result, he was very reluctant to mention the relevant matters. To him, this was a black history of his own. He behaved very foolishly after being poisoned and meeting the villain.

But Mo Zuche has already shared his past so openly. Wouldn't it be a bit impolite if I chose to hold back?

He hesitated for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and slowly explained the reason.

"Someone told you that you can see the mountain god if you eat that mushroom?" Mo Zuche's eyes flickered with curiosity. "So, did you see the mountain god in the end?"

"Didn't you all see what happened next?" Xiao tilted his head with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The entire process of me causing chaos at an important anchor point was witnessed by everyone in the vanguard team. There doesn't seem to be anything further to explore here, right?

"We saw it, but what about you?" Mo Zuche nodded slightly. It was unknown if it was his occupational disease that was causing the curiosity in his eyes. Instead, it became even stronger. "What did you see?"

“I can’t say I didn’t see him…” Xiao looked at Mo Zuche strangely.

Why did the other party suddenly become like a curious baby, showing so much enthusiasm about the hallucination he saw at that time.

Could it be that there is some deeper meaning hidden in this illusion that I am not aware of?

"I saw a temple and a... uh..." Xiao hesitated. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be trying to organize his words to make his expression clearer and more accurate. "A gluten dragon."

"Gluten dragon?" Mo Zuche was slightly stunned.

What is this?

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a food called "gluten" among the people.

He came back to his senses and teased, "You also have a talent for naming things?"

"Why are you asking these questions..." Xiao suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at an alley they had just passed by. His originally calm eyes instantly became alert.

It was like a cat that heard a strange noise and instantly pricked up its ears and went into alert.

At this time, Xiao Cong discovered that they had unknowingly arrived near a hot spring bathhouse.

"Xiao, you discovered... Hey hey!" Before Mo Zuche could finish his words, Xiao jumped into the alley he had just been staring at like an arrow from a bow, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a slight sound of wind.

"Why did he suddenly run away?" Mo Zuche muttered in confusion, his brows slightly furrowed, and a sense of doubt surged in his heart.

His eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he thought of, and he immediately followed.

……

Creepy howling sounds could be heard from the hot spring bath from time to time. The sounds seemed somewhat eerie in the silent night, as if they were curses coming from the depths of hell.

But the soldiers patrolling nearby were already accustomed to this. After listening to it for a long time, they would show an impatient expression and pick their ears very comfortably, as if the howling was just an insignificant noise.

A patrol was walking past a soldier on guard.

Apparently they were old acquaintances.

The soldier on duty smiled and greeted the newcomers warmly, counting the number of patrol members in his mind.

Wait, that's not right, why is there one person missing?

The faces that had just greeted him flashed through his mind, and he quickly turned to the patrol team that was about to leave and asked loudly, "Where's Lao Chuan? Why can't I see him? Did his old facial injury relapse? Did he take a leave because of a headache?"

"No, he's here." As he said that, the patrol leader turned around, scanned the team, and began to count the number of people.

Finally, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's strange. There is really one person missing."

The soldier standing at the end of the team looked behind him and said, "Hey, when I came out of that alley over there, Lao Chuan was following me."

"Could it be that he spotted someone suspicious and chased after him?" someone speculated.

Others echoed: "It's possible. He has done this before."

"How disrespectful of you to think of solving it yourself."

The patrol captain didn't seem to be too worried about the lost Lao Chuan, but after listening to everyone's discussions, he decided to go back along the patrol route to look for the missing Lao Chuan.

The patrol team slowly entered the alley. The walls around them were covered with mottled moss and the air was filled with a damp and decayed smell.

Not long after walking, I heard a loud noise of debris being knocked over from the corner not far away. The sound echoed in the quiet alley, which was very suspicious.

Everyone immediately quickened their pace, turned the corner, and saw three people not far away.

The green-haired boy exuded a fierce aura and pinned a man in armor to the ground. The remaining man was slowly walking towards the boy, and it was unclear whether he was going to save him or was the boy's accomplice.

"It's Lao Chuan!" someone in the patrol team shouted in surprise.

Some of them recognized the man who was pinned to the ground by the young man.

"Oh no, go help Lao Chuan!"

"Don't let them come over!"

At the patrol leader's command, his team members rushed forward, their momentum no less than that of the green-haired boy.

However, before they could get close to the boy, the boy suddenly shouted, and then the man between them and the boy turned around and stood in front of them.

A terrifying aura emanated from this man, as if an invisible haze was covering everyone.

Suddenly, everyone was frightened and sat down on the ground with terrified faces, forgetting even to call for help.

Their eyes were filled with fear, as if the man in front of them was a deadly monster.

The people who "committed the crime" in front of the patrol team were Xiao and Mozuche.

After Xiao jumped into the alley, Mo Zuche wasted some time thinking, and he couldn't find Xiao after he came in. It was not until Xiao made a noise that he finally found Xiao.

At this moment, Mo Zuche turned his head slightly and glanced behind him at the middle-aged man who was pressed to the ground by Xiao, Lao Chuan, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He seemed to know why Xiao suddenly ran away.

He did not have Xiao's keen perception, and now that he was closer, he finally felt a strange feeling from the middle-aged man.

The feeling seemed to come from some dead and extremely cold place, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Mo Zuche gathered some of his energy, and gathered a ball of vital energy in his palm, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

He threatened the patrolmen who had collapsed on the ground, "Leave, or you will die."

The pressure on them was relieved, and the patrol soldiers felt as if they had been pardoned. They didn't care about anything else and fled in the direction they came from, their steps were disorderly, and they looked so miserable, as if they were prey being chased.

On the other side, Xiao was holding down the man called "Laochuan" by the patrolling soldiers, his brows slightly furrowed.
