Chapter 168 You're Fine No Matter What

Beneath the mine, the falcon owl moved with incredible speed and remarkable stability. After an unknown amount of time, they finally spotted a halo of light ahead.

The next moment, the falcon led them out of the burrow and back to the surface.

"Its daybreak."

The falcon led them to a flat area, put them down, and then transformed back into human form.

At this moment, a snake-shaped red mark appeared between his and Qiao Lie's eyebrows. This was a mark unique to the Devouring Python.

The energy of the Holy Crystal broke the curse of the Primal Stone, allowing them to completely integrate the energy of the Devouring Python into their blood and bones. In other words, he was able to control the powerful force from the Devouring Python's bloodline very well.

Under Qiao Qiao's treatment, Jin Lin and Fei Yan's external injuries were almost completely healed, but both of them suffered internal injuries of varying degrees and could not recover immediately, so they needed to rest for a few more days.

Once she was sure they were all alright, Qiao Xixi plopped down on the ground.

The thought of the moment when she, Jin Hui, wanted to kill them still made her body tremble uncontrollably.

If she had arrived even a little later, she would have lost them forever!
Her slightly cool little hand was grasped by a large, dry one, and when Qiao Xixi looked up, she met Jin Lin's gentle eyes.

"Jin Lin..."

As soon as Qiao Xixi opened her mouth, tears began to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Xixi, don't cry."

Jin Lin tried to get up, but a dull pain shot through his chest as soon as he stood up.

Qiao Xixi, disregarding her own discomfort, quickly supported him, saying, "Don't move around, your injuries haven't healed yet."

Jin Lin turned to her side and snuggled against her. "I'm fine, Xixi. I just need to get some sleep. I'll be fine when I wake up."

"Ah."

Qiao Xixi then took out some spiritual spring water and fed it to both him and Fei Yan.

The two were so weak that they quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The falcon circled the area to make sure there was nothing amiss before returning to Qiao Xixi's side.

Just as Qiao Xixi was distributing the dried meat to the children, she saw Falcon Owl return and brought him some spiritual spring water.

"Drink some water first."

The falcon looked at her with its crimson eyes, but instead of reaching out, it lowered its head and drank the water from the bowl using her hand.

"Um, won't swallowing dirty things cause indigestion?"

The falcon paused for a moment before realizing what she was talking about.

"No, a 10-star beast soul can actually enhance my abilities."

Josh nodded. "That's fine then."

Have you decided where we're going next?

Qiao Xixi thought of Sangze, who had disappeared last night. The Golden Eagle Beast must have been sent by the Divine Leopard Tribe to capture Sangze and Sangqi. The Divine Leopard Tribe couldn't have sent only one Golden Eagle Beast. Last night, Sangze must have also gone to deal with the beastmen of the Divine Leopard Tribe.

But he didn't return until dawn.

Considering the Golden Eagle Beast's strength, she worried that Sangze might also be in trouble.

"Little Demon, can you help me find out where Sang Ze is right now?"

"Host, I found out that he seems to be heading in the direction of the Divine Leopard Tribe."

Qiao Xixi's pupils darkened; Sang Ze had been arrested!

"Alive?"

"Alive".

"Xixi?"

Qiao Xixi snapped out of her daze and looked at Falcon Owl. "I was just communicating with the system. I was asking about Sang Ze's whereabouts."

A chilling glint flashed in the hawk's crimson pupils.

"Does Xixi care about him a lot?"

Qiao Xixi blinked, thinking of the simple-minded Sang Ze, who actually regarded him as a younger brother and a friend.

As for that vengeful child at night, she couldn't quite explain her feelings towards him, but since she had promised to listen to his past stories, she didn't want to break her promise.

"Falcon, I hope he lives."

Falcon Owl curled his lips slightly, his cool fingertips gently tracing Qiao Xixi's eyebrows and eyes.

"Don't worry, he won't die."

Qiao Xixi took his hand, hugged his waist, and looked up at him, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

“Sangze seems to know you. Tell me, how did you meet him? You rarely talk to me about your past. Are you hiding something from me?” Falcon’s palm slid down, gently supporting her waist, and he picked her up.

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything, everything about you."

The falcon carried her to sit down under a big tree.

Qiao Xixi nestled quietly in his arms and waited.

All I heard was the indifferent voice of the falcon.

"Several years ago, I did go to the Abyss of Despair to look for the Holy Crystal, and that's when I met Sangze."

Although he could sense the energy of the Holy Crystal at the time, he couldn't find its location.

It was around that time that he encountered Sangze, that monster.

At night, the monster seemed to go mad, finding him no matter where he went, like an unshakeable tail. He grew impatient and fought with it many times.

However, his strength was too great, and his body would suffer obvious damage after each battle. In addition, there were many mutated beasts and magical beasts in the Abyss of Hopelessness, and he was too exhausted to deal with them, so he had to leave temporarily.

As soon as Falcon finished speaking, he looked down and saw Qiao Xixi staring at him expectantly.

"what happened?"

"You mean, Sangze used to pester you all the time?"

"Ah."

Thinking of Sang Ze's crazy side, Qiao Xixi immediately sat up straight.

"Could it be that he's fallen for you?"

His snake-like eyes narrowed, and his aura turned cold.

Qiao Xixi covered her mouth in shock. Had she guessed correctly?
"Well!"

Qiao Xixi felt a light pinch on her waist.

"What nonsense are you thinking? He's a madman."

Boring monster!

“Falcon, I want to go back to the Divine Leopard Tribe. Sangze has likely fallen into their hands. I want to save him. He was the one who protected me and my cub during these past few days in the Abyss of Despair.”

"it is good."

Qiao Xixi was prepared for Falcon to refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily.

Falcon tightened his grip on her. The orcs sent by the Divine Leopard Tribe had almost killed her and her cub. He would never let this go unpunished.

"It's not just to save Sangze, but also for Sangqi. His beast bones were taken by the beastmen of the Divine Leopard Tribe, and I want to get them back for him!"

"Okay, whatever you want to do, I'll support you."

Qiao Xixi rubbed against him and said, "Falcon, you're so nice."

Falcon's pupils darkened as he gripped her flailing waist. "If I don't agree, things won't be good?"

"It's fine if you don't agree, it doesn't matter what."

The arrogant, sky-devouring giant python was now hanging upside down with its beak turned up.

After Jin Lin and Fei Yan's condition stabilized slightly, Falcon decided to set off immediately. There was danger everywhere here, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

On the other side, Baili and Songyan dragged a wooden cage covered with animal hides back to the Divine Leopard Tribe.

"Young clan leader, the beast guards have returned."

Sang Kun stood up abruptly from the stone bench and looked up to see Baili and Songyan carrying Sang Ze in.

The two men approached Sang Kun and threw Sang Ze to the ground.

Sangze's eyes were closed, as if he had lost consciousness.

Sang Kun couldn't wait to ask, "How did it go? Did it work?"

Song Yan took out a piece of animal hide from his body, opened it, and inside was a bloody animal bone.

"It's done."

Sangkun's face lit up with immense joy as he accepted the animal bone with trembling hands.

"It's done, he's finally a cripple!"

From now on, he will no longer pose any threat to the Divine Leopard Tribe. The tribe will always belong to him!
