Heaven's Wall City was very far from Burning Forest.
Xie Lige decided to tidy up the cocoon hut first.
It was also time for Arachnida to clean up the spider silk in the forest.
Everything had to be the way it was when they first came in.
Xie Lige stuffed all the medicinal herbs and miscellaneous items in the hut into a bag.
"... Father?" A short sentence came from behind him.
Xie Lige didn't even raise his head.
He continued stuffing things and said, "What are you doing?"
"Are we preparing to move out of the forest?" Ouyang Shaogong saw Xie Lige's series of movements and couldn't help but ask in doubt.
Xie Lige threw a bag at him.
It looked like a money bag.
There were flowers, birds, fishes, and insects embroidered on it. Ouyang Shaogong took the cloth bag.
When he looked at it, he found that many boxes automatically appeared in his mind.
"If you like it here, we can come back and take a look." Xie Lige said indifferently.
"The most important thing now is to help me pack up."
"Heaven's Wall City is too far from Burning Forest. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
The cocoon hut will be melted by the rain if we don't pay attention to it for too long. Why don't we take the medicinal herbs with us now. "
"Just in case we need them."
As a diligent and thrifty person, Xie Lige had never liked to spoil things.
Especially the medicinal herbs that he treasured, it was even more impossible.
He decided to take them with him when he went to Heaven's Wall City.
Ouyang Shaogong was convinced. He felt that these words were right.
His hand involuntarily moved. The medicinal herbs on the other side began to gradually disappear. Traces of medicinal herbs appeared in the bag. He also carefully looked at some miscellaneous items.
Ordinary daily necessities were left in the hut.
All the valuable items were stuffed into the bag.
In a short while, the bag was full.
At this moment, the Heaven's Wall City cultivators outside the door knocked on the door.
"Sir, we can go now."
Xie Lige just happened to be holding the last item in his hand. When he heard the words outside, he stuffed the item into the bag and pressed it, barely sealing it. He responded, "Got it."
Ouyang Shaogong was already waiting at the side.
At this moment, there were two Arachnida crawling on the child's body, one big and one small. The small one was about the size of a palm, and its shell was sparkling with a strange pattern. The big one was about the size of a millstone, and its whole body was dark purple. Its eight claws were resting on Ouyang Shaogong's leg.
Xie Lige walked over and lifted Arachnida with one hand. Ignoring the latter's struggle, he lifted him up and turned to Ouyang Shaogong. "Let's go."
Ouyang Shaogong lowered his head and responded.
Outside the door, Xie Lige put Arachnida on the ground and said, "Arachnida, be good, seal the house!"
Arachnida's claws were already retracted, but when it heard Xie Lige's voice, it slowly stretched out its head and hissed.
It stretched out its mouth, and countless white spider webs automatically appeared under its body, sealing the outside of the cocoon hut. Layer after layer, it wrapped around the cocoon hut, finally forming an oval white behemoth. Only then did the Sky Spider let go, paralyzed on the ground.
Xie Lige patted Arachnida as if he was patting a puppy's head as a reward.
Arachnida made whooshing sounds as it was patted.
It sounded like it was in a good mood.
The cocoon house didn't look like the one in his memory at all. Ouyang Shaogong frowned slightly. He was a little puzzled. "Didn't you say we left?"
Xie Lige was also helpless. "If you like it here, then let's stay. If it rains, then it rains. At worst, we can just let Arachnida wrap it with a few more layers. It's just that it spits out too much silk, so it needs to rest for a few days. When you feed it, remember to be careful and feed it spirit fruits that contain spiritual energy."
The little Sky Spider in Ouyang Shaogong's arms had just been born, and it was at its naughty age. When it saw its own kind, it was excited. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, wanting to jump down and play with the big Sky Spider.
Big Arachnida played dead.
At this moment, the cultivators in the open space outside the house were ready. The white silk above the forest had already been taken away by Arachnida, and the clear and distant sky was revealed. Rays of clear sunlight scattered on their bodies. Everyone watched as Xie Lige finished packing up. They clenched their fists and saluted, then flew off on their swords.
At this moment, the Wind Gull was also waiting beside the house. Its big eyes stared at Xie Lige and the others. Big Arachnida had unknowingly arrived on top of its head. Seeing Xie Lige look over.
The Wind Gull slowly called out. "… Swoosh …"
Xie Lige rubbed its big head. He turned his head and said to Ouyang Shaogong who was struggling with Little Arachnida, "Heaven's Wall City is far from Silent Incineration Forest. The Wind Gull is very fast. We can also keep up with it. Your Wind Gull hasn't grown up yet. Sit on mine first."
Ouyang Shaogong poked Little Arachnida into his arms with a finger. "Got it."
The Wind Gull lowered its head and let the child sit on its head first. After sitting firmly, it soared into the air. When it reached midair, it grew with the wind. Its body that was originally as thick as a jar immediately became five or six times larger. Countless centipede legs flashed with a cold light.
Looking from afar, the sky was dark and hazy. The sun was completely blocked by the Wind Gull.
Xie Lige on the ground transformed into a butterfly. Huge jade-colored wings appeared on his back. The color was gorgeous. With a light flap, shimmering powder fell. He began to fly onto the Wind Gull's back.
The Miaojiang people guarding outside the forest also saw the incomparably ferocious Wind Gull in the sky. Some outsiders also stopped to watch. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They didn't expect such a terrifying beast to appear in this forest.
"Azou …"
"Azou, rest in peace!"
"Lord Wind Gull!"
The Miaojiang people were different from the outsiders. They recognized that the huge centipede that covered the sky was Azou's strange beast. They all knelt on the ground, prostrated with their hands on the ground, and shouted loudly.
For a moment, the Miaojiang people in the house outside the forest all came out when they heard the noise. They all knelt on the ground.
When the outsiders saw this, they also understood that the person sitting on top of the strange beast was the Azou that they were always talking about.
Some of the people with ulterior motives originally saw that the Miaojiang people were beautiful and pure. They wanted to do something bad, but now they stopped. Seeing that Azou was willing to stay in this ordinary forest even though he was so strong, they probably wouldn't even know how they died if they did something bad.
Xie Lige sat on the Wind Gull's back. Just as he folded his wings, he heard the tsunami-like cheers below. They were even shouting something like Azou. He lowered his head and saw that his group of people were indeed kneeling.
He thought about how he had been here for so many years. These cute and pure people were a little worried. In the past, when he was here, those bad guys didn't dare to come. Now that he was gone.
Xie Lige frowned slightly.
He opened his hand and scattered a few things in his forest. He watched as the transparent eggs landed on the huge cocoon house. Then, he retracted his gaze and turned to the Miaojiang people on the ground.
Xie Lige had an idea. He poked the System and said, "Second Brother, come out."
The System was speechless.
"What?" The System popped out.
"Open the page, open the chat channel, I have something to say."
Unexpectedly, the System was vigilant and didn't open it. It asked back, "What bad things do you want to do now?"
"Host, let me tell you. I have just finished dealing with the mess you caused last time. The little Emperor caused a ruckus in the imperial court for a few months. The ministers were living a life worse than death. Your son was still helping the evildoers. The entire world's progress was almost stopped. Fortunately, a few people from the headquarters came to save the world. What else do you want to do now?
The System was now afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten.
The aftereffects of Xie Lige's early death in the previous world were quite big. They had been in this world for so many years and it was not easy to get rid of it. If this world caused trouble again, the System thought about it and decided that if it was really like the previous world, it would jump into the river with the host.
Perish together!!!
Xie Lige could hear the strong resentment in the System's voice. He also remembered that when he left the previous world, he was resentful because he lost his vacation and left behind some problems. Now it seemed that the trouble caused by the two brats was not small.
He asked tentatively, "Did the little Emperor do something bad?"
"…" The System was silent for a while, then said faintly, "Before you left, you left behind a message. The two of them thought that you were kidnapped by some demon and are now looking for people with special abilities."
It was the first time he knew that he had become a big villain.
Xie Lige rubbed his nose. He knew that he was in the wrong.
However, he still argued, "A criminal record doesn't mean anything. Who hasn't been young before? After being young and frivolous, they become mature and steady. For example, I am very steady now, right?"
Xie Lige lied through his teeth to fool the System.
The System said doubtfully, "Are you serious? This world won't cause trouble for me?"
Xie Lige smiled beautifully and said, "Of course!"
In the end, the System decided to believe its host for once. The naive System did not think about how scary a human's ability to lie through their teeth was. It was full of hope that its host had finally learned how to be a human this time.
Xie Lige did not know what the System was thinking. Even if he knew, he would probably pretend not to know. Now that he had the ability to chat, he skillfully switched to the chat channel and began to talk.
The people on the ground looked at the Miaojiang people kneeling on the ground and shouting. At the same time, they looked vigilantly at the giant centipede in the sky. Their expressions were guarded. Who asked that centipede to look so creepy?
Then, a lazy and hoarse voice sounded in their ears. It was mixed with the sound of insects and echoed around them.
"After I leave today, Feng Lin, if you have any problems, you can go to the ancestral land to find me."
The Miaojiang people nodded.
The ancestral land was the place where they first met Azou. It was beside the small road not far from the cocoon hut. They knew that this was the escape route that Azou left for them.
They all had tears in their eyes and shouted with gratitude.
The other outsiders looked at the scene that was like a cult spreading, and the voices echoed in their ears. They couldn't help but raise their evaluation of the Miaojiang people in their hearts. Although they were silly, they had a powerful ancestor.
Now they could see that the ancestor was not only powerful, but also protective.
The words in their ears were probably not only for the Miaojiang people to hear, but also for them. The implication was that they should watch carefully. This group of idiots was protected by them. They were leaving a way out for them. They were leaving them with something to rely on. Although they were not in the forest, their prestige was still spread.
The outsiders were angry but did not dare to say anything. They could not beat the old man, so what could they do?
