When Shishi walked out of the attic, Wutan was already waiting. A little celestial being stood beside her, holding a black bag that was several times bigger than her body. Her eyes were rolling around with a look of vigilance.
The bag contained essence, its treasure, and he was always on guard to prevent Wutan from snatching it.
"Shishi, let's go!" Wutan said softly, took the bag from her hand and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
"Ahh..."
On the edge of the cliff, thousands of animals were waiting. When they saw the people coming, they roared to the sky as if to say goodbye. There were lions as big as mountains, blood-red tigers, and giant snakes ten feet long. They were fierce and cruel, but the emotion revealed in their eyes at this moment was reluctance to leave!
"Little lion, little tiger, little bug, and all the good babies, Shishi is gone, you must protect this place well." The little girl stroked the ferocious beasts and said with tears in her eyes.
"Woo woo"
In the eyes of outsiders, these are ferocious monsters, but at this time they lowered their heads and rubbed against Shishi's body. The giant snake spit out a several-meter-long tongue and tied her small hands, as if trying to keep her from leaving.
"Little Bug, be good and don't bully others. Shishi will come back to see you."
This is a colorful viper, its body covered with palm-sized scales, colorful as if it was wearing a colorful dress, gorgeous and dazzling. It is the king here, ruling over all the beasts in this pure land.
"Hiss..." It nodded like a good baby, then screamed to the sky. The voice was extremely high-pitched, like a mountain collapse and the earth splitting, resounding through the sky.
"Chiu"
A big bird swooped down, its wings spread out to be thirty feet long, its feathers dark as silk, shining brightly. It stopped at the edge of the cliff, and its sharp beak gently touched the little girl's face, as if it was protecting a child, very gentle.
The five-colored viper rolled its long tongue, bound the little girl's body, and placed it on the back of the big bird. Then it looked at Wu Tian, its eyes like copper bells, flashing cold light, and its tongue flickered unsteadily, meaning, take good care of Shi Shi, if she gets hurt, I won't let you go.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Wutan promised solemnly.
"Aoao!" Xiaoyi jumped onto the big bird and hummed softly to all the beasts as a farewell. It was born here and was very familiar with these monsters. They were like one family. It felt a little sad to leave now.
"Thank you all for taking care of Shishi over the years. We'll meet again if we're lucky." Wutan bowed, then picked up the little guy and jumped onto the big bird's back.
The big bird screamed and flapped its wings. A strong wind suddenly blew up and it soared into the sky like a meteorite, sweeping towards the horizon.
“Roar!!!”
Behind her, myriad beasts roared together, shaking the mountains and rivers. They were seeing her off, feeling reluctant to let her go. They had watched Shishi grow up since she was a child and had long since treated her as their own child.
"Shishi, you have many good friends." Wutan smiled. Although they are ferocious beasts, they also have feelings, which is much better than some hypocritical humans.
"When daddy is not around, they always play with me. I don't want to leave, but I also want to go outside and have a look." The little girl was crying, her little face was red, she was so cute.
Wu Tian comforted her: "Don't cry, I will come back with you to see them often in the future."
"Well, brother, tell me what the world outside is like, okay?" The little girl wiped away her tears, looking curious.
The little girl is still young, and her emotions come and go quickly.
Wutan nodded, sat on the big bird's back, and told many things. The little girl was startled and her face was full of longing. She was very much looking forward to flying out of this desolate forest as soon as possible to see those new things.
In fact, Wutan didn’t know much. He had lived in the mountains since he was a child and had never left Long Village. However, there were records in the animal skin scrolls, and he had been influenced by it since he was a child. So he was not like the little girl, who had nothing and was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
The big bird was incredibly fast, several times faster than a flamingo, and it escaped from the wilderness in half a day. This was incredible. Later, Wutan checked the animal skin scroll and learned that it was a lightning eagle. Not only was its strength stronger than that of humans at the same level, but its speed was also incredibly fast.
Wutan made a preliminary calculation and found that Long Village was three thousand miles away from Shishi's residence. It took him nearly three months to walk there, and this barren forest was about four thousand miles in radius, which meant that the Lightning Eagle was hundreds of times faster than him. It was really as fast as its name, as fast as lightning.
One day later, Wutan came to the sky above a plain. A small town appeared at the end of the plain. He ordered the Lightning Eagle to land there.
The Lightning Eagle was so ferocious that it frightened the wild animals on the plain and made them flee in panic. It landed on the ground and waited for a few people to jump off.
"Little Shanshan, just send them here. You should go back quickly. Little Bug, Little Tiger and Little Lion are waiting for you. Remember, you must protect our home." The little girl reached out her hand and stroked, reminding softly.
"Chirp"
The Lightning Eagle cried softly, its wings flapped, and a gentle color appeared in its sharp eyes. It had become a spirit and possessed human wisdom. It knew that this time they were parting, and it was unknown when they would meet again.
"I've remembered. I will take good care of myself, and you too." As the little girl said this, tears fell again. Wutan felt complicated. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to take Shishi away this time.
The Lightning Eagle nodded, looked at Wutan, and screamed a few times. Its eyes were like those of a colorful viper, asking him to protect the little girl well.
"She is my sister. If anyone wants to hurt her, they have to walk over my dead body."
After getting Wujitian's assurance, the Lightning Eagle's eyes finally softened. Its body trembled, and a drop of bright red blood shot out from its chest. It was bright and exuded a fierce aura, which was extremely intimidating.
It roared at Wutan, and blood floated up and fell into his hands, never dispersing, like a blood diamond, crystal clear.
"Brother, Xiao Shanshan said that if we encounter danger in the future, as long as we swallow this drop of blood, it will be able to sense it, and then it will bring Xiao Chong and Xiao Hu to rescue us." Shishi explained.
Wutan was moved. Who could be so ruthless as a monster? At this moment, in his opinion, monsters were more loyal and righteous than humans. He nodded to the Lightning Eagle to show that he understood.
With a sharp "chirp", the Lightning Eagle spread its wings, and with a gust of wind, it soared into the sky, casting a large shadow, and then returned the same way and quickly disappeared.
"Wow! The grassland is so big." After watching the Lightning Eagle disappear, the little girl looked around and cheered, jumping around on the grassland like a porcelain doll, lively and cute.
"Hey, that little wolf is so cute."
"Little wolf!" Wutan was speechless. It was clearly a howling wolf, huge in size, about two meters tall, with bloodshot eyes and a murderous aura. In the eyes of the little girl, this ferocious monster turned into a little wolf. She was probably the first person to call it that cute.
"Awoo..." Howling Wolf bared his teeth, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the name of little wolf, and looked ferocious. But when he saw Xiaotian on the little girl's shoulder, his pupils suddenly shrank and he ran away with his tail between his legs.
With a "whoosh", the little fellow jumped onto its back and patted it lightly with its claws. The Howling Wolf's body went limp and it fell to the ground, shaking.
The little guy was very satisfied. He stood up and stepped on its head, meaning, you are very good, I will let you go today.
It was full of pride and complacency, and wanted to show off to Xiaoyi, but found that the people had already left. It howled angrily, kicked the poor Howling Wolf hard, and chased after it.
Xiaotian's move did have a certain deterrent effect. All the way to the town gate, no monster attacked.
"Brother, there are so many people here!" Shishi jumped and laughed like a little fairy, so lively and agile that she attracted many people's attention.
Tieshi Town is one of the few large towns in the Chiyang Mountains. There are many people coming and going, but most of them are hunters. They come from villages in every corner of the mountains and sell animal skins, blood and other materials.
Tieshi Town is under the jurisdiction of Yan Zong. It has a population of over ten thousand, a developed economy, and is backed by a large amount of strong financial resources. Hunters can sell their catch at a good price here. Although the journey is full of dangers and people die in the stomachs of ferocious beasts from time to time, the profit is considerable, enough for a village of dozens of people to live on for a year, so it is worth it.
"Hey, that looks like a flying fox? It looks like it hasn't reached adulthood yet and can't fly, but I heard it has a good healing ability. Whose child is that little girl? How could she have an almost extinct beast as a pet? I'm really envious."
The eyes of passers-by were all attracted by the flying fox. The little fellow was so majestic, with snow-white fur as smooth and neat as jade, and dark and lively eyes, which looked so extraordinary and magical that it was hard not to notice it.
"Brother, I advise you not to look at them too much. I heard that the Yan Sect will recruit disciples in more than a month. They may be people taking the exam, or they may be the children of a big family. They should not be provoked... Um, damn, am I dazzled? The boy's pet is actually a magic frog."
The hunter who tried to persuade him almost fell to the ground.
"Really? He actually found a magic frog as his pet. This is truly a strange story. This is the first time I've seen this."
A series of strange looks were cast at the little guy on Wu Tian's shoulder, all of them were a little unbelievable. The little guy had a perverse nature, and when had he ever suffered such humiliation, he was ready to explode immediately.
Wu Tian grabbed it and advised: "It doesn't matter what others think. As long as Shishi and I like you and know how great you are, we don't need to care about the opinions of outsiders."
The little guy whined and was very unhappy, but he gave up.
"Brother, why do they say that to the little thing? It's really too much." The little girl was indignant and spoke for the little guy.
The little guy's head was pounding garlic, and he squeezed out two drops of frog tears, pretending to be pitiful.
"Don't be sad, little thing. Shishi has never hated you. They are blind. Don't take it to heart, or you will hurt yourself." The little girl comforted.
The little fellow's eyes were filled with tears, and he was so touched. No one had ever cared about him so much. He jumped onto Shishi's shoulder, stared at Wutian angrily, and waved his paws, which meant, bye, from now on, Shishi and I will be together.
"Little sister, is this flying fox your pet?"
At this time, a woman in red came over. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, of fair appearance, and dressed very gorgeously. Judging from her dress, she should be from a large family.
"Sister, you are so beautiful." Shishi said with her eyes wide open.
"Really? You're so sweet, little sister." The beautiful woman gently twisted the little girl's cheek and said with a smile, "Little sister, can you sell your spirit pet to me? No matter how much essence it costs, it's fine."
"Sister, Xiaoyi is my friend, not a spiritual pet. I won't sell her." Shishi squatted down and stroked the flying fox very intimately.
"Xiaoyi, this name sounds nice." The beautiful woman liked it more and more as she looked at it: "Little sister, are you dissatisfied that you don't have enough essence? Then I will exchange it for you with a treasure. This is an essence, which is enough to exchange for 10,000 essences."
"Sister, I said I won't sell it." Shishi frowned.
"Little sister, don't be so stubborn. How about I add three more essences?" The woman still refused to give up.
Wu Tian frowned, stood in front of the little girl, and said, "Shi Shi said she wouldn't sell it, didn't you hear it?"
The beautiful woman looked up, her face turned cold, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm her brother. Xiaoyi is our friend and won't sell herself. Please go!" Wutan said indifferently.
The gorgeous woman smiled coldly: "Little brother, I'm afraid it's not up to you. I'm determined to get the Flying Fox. You'd better name a price obediently, otherwise, you will get nothing later, and this lovely little sister may even get hurt a little bit."
"Are you threatening me?"
Wutan's face darkened, his eyes shone with the light of a wild beast as he stared at the woman closely.
I had something to do today, so this chapter is late.
