Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Another Scapegoat Cos Along
“Wuu~”
Pain’s low moan echoed as Shao Zifeng walked up to the man, looking down at him and said indifferently, “Awake?”
In the night, one could vaguely see the man’s hands clenching the ground as veins bulged, straining to open his eyes but failing, his parched and whitened lips parting to release a dry, hoarse voice: “…water.”
Scanning the surroundings, Shao Zifeng found no water, only solidified lava.
Today, he had co out briefly and hadn’t brought any drinking water; this was when the downside of having few pets beca apparent.
If only he had a water or ice attribute pet…
Huh.
Shao Zifeng’s eyes mischievously shifted toward the Bald Ice Crystal Bird.
That’s a ready-made ice attribute right there.
Stepping over the cooled cracks in the lava, he walked up to the bird and kicked its bald head with his foot, “Bring so ice.”
Barely opening its eyes, the Ice Crystal Bird glanced at Shao Zifeng, its gaze holding a mix of three parts disdain, three parts sarcasm, and four parts contempt before disgustingly turning its head away.
Hiss.
Shao Zifeng sucked in a breath of cold air.
So expressive, huh.
Could this be the legendary tyrant boss bird?
But Shao Zifeng wouldn’t stand for this. He raised his eyebrow and called out, “Qiuqiu.”
Whoosh.
A rush of hot air arrived, and a huge shadow instantly enveloped the Ice Crystal Bald Bird.
Qiuqiu stood behind Shao Zifeng, its vertical golden-red pupils dancing with tangible flas as it coldly stared at the half-dead… Ice Crystal Bird.
The Ice Crystal Bird stubbornly raised its head to et Qiuqiu’s gaze, revealing an indomitable spirit despite its weakness…
Monts later, under the resentful gaze of the Ice Crystal Bird, Shao Zifeng held a bloody piece of ice and squatted down beside the man, whispering, “Open your mouth.”
The man barely managed to open his eyes, his pupils rolling back as he eagerly opened his mouth wide.
Shao Zifeng held the piece of ice, the flas dancing in the depths of his eyes.
“Ignition.”
Sst.
A dark red fla instantly burst into fla, the intense heat causing the man on the ground to shiver, and then the moderate-sized piece of ice in his hand vaporized.
Shao Zifeng looked at the dark red fla on his hand in disbelief.
They patched this up so fast, huh? How did his fla beco the Molten Fla the mont Qiuqiu got back?
Although the ice cube was a bit small and the bird’s control of the ice was weak, that temperature was truly frightening.
He looked down at the person still agape below him, and Shao Zifeng’s gaze once again turned towards the Bald Ice Crystal Bird.
…
“Thank… thank you.”
The middle-aged driver sat up with the ground’s support, looking at Shao Zifeng appreciatively, a complex look in his eyes.
Shao Zifeng nodded without a word, sizing up the severely dehydrated middle-aged man.
After Little Deer’s healing, the burn wounds on his body had healed, with the new skin and old skin mixed together looking sowhat comical; it would still take ti for the burned-off hair to recover.
Amusedly, Shao Zifeng watched him: “Uncle, what are you doing out here in the dead of night?”
The driver grinned sheepishly, showing a row of white teeth, and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Are you… teammates with Yiming… Uncle wanted to test your understanding of the ‘Real Combat Contest’, heh… hehe.”
Heh, I don’t believe a word of it.
But Shao Zifeng didn’t intend to probe further. For one, the man had no direct malice towards him, and they had both been tornted enough for the night.
Besides, he hadn’t sustained any serious injuries himself.
As for him…
He had other uses.
Thinking of this, Shao Zifeng revealed a sincere smile and looked at him with a full face of good-natured kindness, “Now that the test is over, uncle, you can go back first.”
“Letting go back, don’t you… plan to ask sothing?” the driver uncle asked with a suspicious look.
“Or you can wait here for a while, and once I’m done with my business, we can go back together?”
Upon hearing this, the driver uncle glanced at Qiuqiu lying not far away and couldn’t help shivering, “No need… no… no trouble, I can manage on my own, manage on my own.”
Saying this, the driver uncle struggled to get up, tenderly recalling his Ice Crystal Bird and headed towards the Tianhe Road exit without looking back.
Shao Zifeng watched the man’s staggering figure and took out a tal lighter, rubbing it with his fingers, “He really is a good person.”
After he walked away, Shao Zifeng looked at his arm covered in scabs, turned to the deer with his back to him, and smirked, “Little deer, could you also heal ?”
The little deer’s ears twitched, and it stood up, elegantly stepping over to Shao Zifeng’s side, and then…
Walked past him without so much as a glance.
Shao Zifeng felt a touch of disappointnt in his heart.
Suddenly, a touch of pale green luminescence enveloped him, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body.
One layer then another.
The luminescence on Shao Zifeng’s body grew brighter and brighter, slowly wrapping him up into a cocoon of light shaped like a man.
“Uh~~”
His body trembled violently, and he couldn’t help but let out an indescribable noise, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
The little deer happily twitched its little ears, feeling much better.
Whoosh～
A wave of scorching air rushed towards it, and the little deer stiffened, lifting its little head to look at Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu, sensing Shao Zifeng’s joyful emotions, gradually heated its gaze.
Shao Zifeng’s vacant eyes slowly ca back to focus, casually wiping away the transparent liquid at the corner of his mouth.
“Qiu…”
Just about to call Qiuqiu to help him stand, he turned his head only to see it convulsing on the ground, and Shao Zifeng’s face instantly darkened.
After being enhanced by the source pearl, the little deer’s healing power had beco even more overbearing.
He recalled Qiuqiu back into the pet space and looked towards the little deer, “Little deer, let’s go.”
Saying so, he stepped over the collapsed wall caused by Qiuqiu and headed towards the entrance to the underground platform’s fourth building.
Looking at the mottled walls weathered by the years, Shao Zifeng used Chen Zhenglong’s thod to knock open the entrance.
Suddenly, from far away ca the barking of an arresting dog; he turned to look, only to see the dark night torn apart by beams of strong flashlight, followed by stern reprimands.
Mixed in with the noise, a hoarse voice hysterically shouted, “I’m just passing by!! I’m innocent!!”
Shao Zifeng didn’t linger, quickly entering the underground platform entrance, and as the wall slowly sealed shut, a sympathetic expression crossed his face.
Of all people to imitate, he had to copy Li Yiming’s way of taking the bla.
This could be considered as an explanation to Yundu City’s Abnormal Administration Bureau. As for whether he would expose himself, Shao Zifeng wasn’t worried in the slightest.
A man who possessed a fifth-order pet but pretended to be an ordinary person, lurking for so long beside a sibling duo, anyone could see there was sothing off with him—as long as he wasn’t foolish, he would know what to say and what not to say.
…
In Yundu Hotel’s top floor conference room, the Yundu University qualifier in charge, Gou Li, saw the video and imdiately rented the eting room, informing the other three top-four schools under the guise of a seminar.
The eting room was dark, and teachers and students from the other three top-four colleges had all arrived; only Gou Li’s team from Yundu University was yet to co.
She furrowed her brows, frequently checking her phone, while also turning to the other team leaders to apologize.
Clang.
The conference room door was pushed open directly, and a young man in pajamas, casually draped in the Yundu University team jacket, walked in yawning.
