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

Chapter 375 Life will always find its own way

A brown-haired young man who is quite extraordinary in both temperament and dress?

After hearing Ling Xiao's description, Xiao naturally thought of that person.

Of all the people he had ever met, that person was the first person that came to his mind upon hearing such a description.

But just like before, Xiao quickly rejected the idea.

Or maybe I have met too few people in this world, so my first reaction can only be that person.

That Mr. Zhongli.

Xiao collected his thoughts and continued to ask, "Did he tell me anything else?"

"Originally, He only said this much, but Huang Guxuan stopped Him and asked questions," Ling Xiao replied. "Huang Guxuan asked why He was the only one collecting intelligence information."

Mandrill nodded.

Huang Guxuan asked a very good question.

The ability of a person... uh no, a bird has its limits, and it is easy to miss something or even cause a bigger misjudgment.

Moreover, there was only one bird collecting information from such a large area, and there was no control group. If he had tampered with the collected intelligence, no one would be able to detect it.

In short, this is unreasonable.

The next moment, Ling Xiao answered Xiao's doubts: "He said that he had signed a contract and could only report truthfully, and that beings from the land of the past could not leave and come to this world at will."

"Can the contract restrain Him?" Xiao asked.

Anyway, he didn't really believe it. Rules are used to restrain the people who work like oxen and horses below, and the people at the top will always find loopholes.

unless……

This world also has a god of contracts who punishes those who break their promises by eating rocks.

Ling Xiao said: "You don't have to doubt this. Once you sign that kind of contract, you will know why."

Xiao has never signed, so I don’t know. I can only ask why.

Ling Xiao replied, "As long as you belong to this world and bear the mark of this world, it will be able to restrain you and punish you, no matter how strong you are."

Xiao bit his lip, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times very secretly, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.

This is unfortunate. I am not from this world, so I should not have the mark of that world.

In other words, can I create a bug in the contract?

However, the next second, Ling Xiao poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Even if he loses the existence of the world's mark, as long as he is still in this world, he will still be restricted."

Well, it seems that the bug is not so easy to fix.

Suddenly, Xiao's expression became stern.

As the demon-slaying sage from Liyue, Xiao felt that he shouldn't take shortcuts regarding the contract. He conducted a deep self-reflection on why he had such thoughts just now.

Ling Xiao noticed the change in his expression and asked about his situation.

Xiao shook his head and asked, "Why can't they move around freely?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this," Ling Xiao said. "He said that they are different from us... er, no, different from you—I'm just a puppet, not a living being."

"What's the difference?"

"He said that most of you have been transformed. Their unauthorized entry into your world is likely to cause some unforeseen problems."

"?"

“Initially, only beings like them, who possessed high-purity and great bloodlines, could resist the “erosion”. Others would be easily eroded and turned into minions of the enemy.

It was a stranger who came with the "erosion" and transformed you, giving you the capital to resist the "erosion".

But it is difficult for outsiders to transform and influence them, so as a price, they must be isolated from you to prevent their powerful bloodlines from eroding the results of the transformation."

Xiao looked thoughtful. "You said that most of us have been transformed. What about the small number of us?"

"There are also a small number of descendants of those who were abandoned and survived by chance. They have not been transformed." Ling Xiao gave an example. "Li said that Huang Guxuan belongs to this category."

Huang Guxuan?

Huang Guxuan...

Xiao silently repeated the name in his heart.

Huang Guxuan is a demon god.

By the way, I had sneaked up the mountain to look for the mountain temple. After coming down from the mountain, I was checked to see if I had been contaminated by the messenger. The person who checked me at the time was sure that I was of Warcraft bloodline because they didn't find anything.

Demons, demon beasts... perhaps, we should also include monsters.

These three categories correspond one by one to beast gods, divine beasts, and spiritual beasts. The only difference is that the first three are from the ancient wilderness.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration passed through Xiao's mind.

The pollution removal drugs developed by "Yuanliu" mostly rely on this kind of transformation results. However, he is not from this world and of course has not undergone transformation, so he is identified as a demon beast bloodline and no medicine can be used for him.

Monsters, demon beasts... and perhaps even a demon god. "Yuanliu" has not developed pollution-removing drugs for them because they have not been transformed.

They are the abandoned, and the ancient wilderness is an abandoned land.

Xiao suddenly thought of this sentence: Life will always find a way out.

It was not until this moment that Xiao completely understood what he had heard from Qingyang at the "Yuanliu" base near Zhenjiao Gate.

Disaster is like an epidemic, and the messenger is a walking corpse controlled by the source of the epidemic;

If the blood of the "King" is stained with disaster, it will lose the mark of the world and possess the power and authority equivalent to that of the Herald;

The abandoned "King" escaped the control of the source of the disaster, returned from the netherworld, coexisted with the plague, and gained the power to shake the heaven and earth, becoming a fierce beast;

The same is true for monsters and demon beasts, which correspond to Actors and Servants respectively.

Creatures from the ancient wild lands are actually servants, followers, or even messengers who have broken free from control and possess self-awareness.

Immediately, Xiao thought of another thing.

In the disaster, the first-level commander is the one with king-level strength, and the second-level commander is the one with emperor-level strength, so theoretically, there should be commanders among the monsters.

However, the ancient wilderness has existed for a long time, and the monsters therein have been fighting with humans, but humans' research on the abilities of the Messengers seems to have just begun. This means that before the beast tide from across the sea came, people basically had not encountered any Messengers.

Qingyang also calls Warcraft a servant.

Xiao thought of a possibility.

The awakening of the Warcraft's self-awareness caused them to lose the power of the commander, and thus be downgraded to the ranks of powerless servants.

Come to think of it, if you want to survive such a life-and-death crisis, how can there be no price to pay?

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Xiao asked when he saw Xiao was silent for a long time.

Hearing this, Xiao came back to his senses and expressed his guess.

Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Wow, you've become quite clever after not seeing you for a while. Li didn't say so much, but the situation should be similar to what you analyzed."

Xiao complained in his mind: "Are you saying I was stupid before?"

Red Xiao's teasing voice sounded in his mind: "Isn't it?"

elf:"……"

Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to the little red bird that took every opportunity to insult him. He asked Ling Xiao, "You just said you went to the top of the mountain. What was the situation like there?"

"What was the situation on the top of the mountain?" Hearing this, Ling Xiao showed a look of reminiscence.

It was in a hurry to find someone and didn't pay much attention to other things. After thinking for a while, it said, "Nothing serious. There's an old dragon on the top of the mountain watching a little dragon playing."

"only these?"

I hope Mo Zuche was not driven away by the mountain god.

Xiao was a little worried.

"Hmm... Oh, yes, there's another human. That human seems to be trying to get the old dragon's attention, but the old dragon ignores him."

After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Xiao felt that he didn't need to go up today, as going would probably make Mo Zuche feel pressured and embarrassed.

Xiao was about to go down the mountain and check on Mo Zuche in a couple of days, but Ling Xiao didn't stop talking. He continued, "I never thought there would be a dragon without scales. Before today, I had only heard of it in the stories of my companions."

Xiao paused in picking up the pots and pans floating in the hot spring.

"story?"

He smelled gossip.
