Facing this vast dark night, Xiao Zhi's heart suddenly felt cool.

The cool night breeze blew on his face, cooling his originally hot skin.

Xiao Zhi stretched out his arms, tilted his head up slightly, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The air in the valley in the middle of the night, fresher and a little colder, inhaled into the lungs and soaked into the heart.

Xiao Zhi was almost intoxicated.

He was indulging in this cool enjoyment, when he suddenly smelled a strange smell, mixed with the fresh grassy air that he had smelled before.

He frowned.

No, there is a situation!

When he looked up, it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.

Even if you barely look at it, you can only see the shadowy darkness, as if there are countless mysterious shapes in it, but when you look hard, you can't see anything.

He turned his head to look behind him, and behind him was the Dream Seeker.

Casting through the window of the Dream Seeker, Xiao Zhi could vaguely see that Yanagi Buhui and Ye Mengfei were still asleep.

Other than that, nothing is out of the ordinary.

Xiao Zhi felt a little strange.

So, where did that strange smell come from?!

Just as he was racking his brains to think about it, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the dark place and rushed straight to Xiao Zhi, who was standing on the edge of the Dream Seeker in a daze.

The black shadow came quickly, bringing a gust of wind, and it seemed that the body of the Dream Seeker was also blown by this gust of wind.

The wind blew Xiao Zhi's clothes high, like a red flag in the wind, hunting.

Xiao Zhi heard the sound of the wind and hurriedly turned his head to look.

A huge monster that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, like a cow but not a cow, slammed into it with lightning speed.

The monster came just too fast.

When Xiao Zhi turned his head, the claws of the monster seemed to have slapped Xiao Zhi's face.

He was so frightened that he froze for a moment, and he couldn't even scream.

Just when Xiao Zhi was about to be slapped to death by a monster, something strange happened.

The monster's palm did not slap Xiao Zhi to the ground, but stretched out and retracted like lightning.

That's fast, it's fast, it's fast.

If someone next to him was watching all this, he would definitely say that the monster's palm had not moved at all.

In this moment of lightning, Xiao Zhi was gently placed on his back by the monster.

Without a pause, the monster leaped forward nimbly, turned slightly, then leaped forward, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the darkness.

Xiao Zhi, who was put on his back by the monster, seemed a little silly.

He was terrified and overwhelmed.

I can only hold on to everything I can hold onto, for fear of being thrown down by monsters.

No matter how the monster climbs high and low, climbs over mountains and streams, and walks through ditches and ravines, he hugs the monster's neck tightly, firmly grabs the hair on the monster's body, and never lets go.

I only heard the wind whistling in my ears, and there were rocks, weeds, bushes, and groves around me.

From time to time, the branches and leaves of the trees on the side of the road hit his body heavily, and he felt a faint pain, and Xiao Zhi didn't dare to relax a little.

He could only lean down, close his eyes, his arms grip the monster's neck, his hands grabbing the hair, and gallop forward with the monster.

Is this the monster Qiqi that Yanagishita Buhui and Ye Mengfei said in their mouths?!

Xiao Zhi was a little skeptical, but he wasn't quite sure.

On the back of the galloping monster, Xiao Zhi didn't dare to open his eyes, so he didn't know what this monster looked like at all.

Of course, he didn't know where this monster was going to take him?!

Could it be to bring himself back to the lair and distribute himself as food to its children?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi was a little panicked.

He tried to open his eyes and take in his surroundings.

But the monster didn't mean to stop at all, but it seemed to be getting faster and faster, at first you could feel the body of the monster body when it jumped vertically and jumping, and later, it only felt that the monster's body seemed to be stationary, only the sound of the wind in the ears like a knife cut, telling Xiao Zhi, hurry up, don't fall down!

In such a situation, Xiao Zhi couldn't open his eyes at all.

By the time he could open his eyes, the monster had stopped.

Although he had opened his eyes, he still couldn't see anything.

It was pitch black in front of me, and all around, a cloud of darkness.

There is not a little bit of light.

Blind may be the appropriate description of Xiaozhi now.

Xiao Zhi's eyes widened.

However, the result is still the same, and there is still nothing to see.

He panicked a little and subconsciously reached out to touch something.

Luckily, there's something right next to it.

As soon as Xiao Zhi's hand stretched out, he touched something gentle, some warm, some fluffy, and seemed to be steaming.

He was startled, withdrew his hand, and never dared to reach out again.

Fortunately, at this time, the surrounding ground slowly lit up.

The light on the earth is not lit up in large areas.

Rather, it is a circular light, and the center of the ring is where Xiao Zhi is located.

This circular light, which was dim at first, gradually intensified and brightened.

Although it is getting brighter, it is gentle, very comfortable, and does not have a harsh feeling.

When this halo shines to a certain extent, it stops.

Say stop, it's not that it's not lit up.

Instead, it doesn't continue to increase the brightness.

The aura on the ground no longer increases in brightness, and directly above this aura, another aura appears.

This aura is about the same size as the one on the ground.

At first, it was also dim, and then, slowly, it became brighter, brighter...

until it is as bright as the halo on the ground.

Then, on top of the second aura, the third, fourth, and fifth lit up。。。。。。

Xiao Zhi was a little stunned.

If Yanagi Buhui or Ye Mengfei is here, they will definitely say, how much like an advertising neon sign on the roof!

Watch as the aura starts round and round on the ground, and gradually lights up.

Xiao Zhi was so surprised that he couldn't speak, just stood stupidly, watching his surroundings gradually become brighter.

The light that is densely packed up and down around it is like a cylinder composed of light, enclosing Xiao Zhi in the middle.

As the aura rises higher and higher, the size of the aura also changes.

The aura at the top began to gradually become smaller, smaller... Eventually, it turns into a bright bright spot, dotted in the very center, sparkling.

From below, all the auras combine to form countless concentric circles.

The common center of these concentric circles is the glittering bright spot in the center of the top.

The entire space was suddenly illuminated by these halos.

Only then did Xiao Zhi understand.

All these auras form a dome-shaped space, like a cage of light, covering Xiao Zhi in the middle.

Of course, it's not just Xiaozhi who is shrouded in the middle of the cage.

In addition to Xiaozhi, there is also a strange animal.

At this moment, it was standing behind Xiao Zhi, looking at Xiao Zhi.

However, there is no ferocity and cruelty in its eyes, only meekness and kindness.

Xiao Zhi turned his head and wanted to look around.

As soon as he turned around, he ran into the monster.

The sudden discovery made him shocked, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

The monster seemed to be frightened and took a half step back.

It's all around and there's no place to hide.

Xiao Zhi looked at the monster on the opposite side and took another step back.

He wanted to put his back against the edge of the cage and resist stubbornly.

The monster seemed to see through his mind, and actually took a step back, also leaning back against the edge of the cage.

At this time, between Xiao Zhi and the monster, there were almost two breakpoints on the diameter of the underground aura.

The distance should also be the largest.

Xiao Zhi's heart was a little nervous.

He clasped his hands and kept his eyes fixed on the monster on the other side, ready to dodge a sudden attack.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi, how much he wishes he had a powerful weapon in his hand.

It's a pity that now, he doesn't have a weapon in his hand.

In his hands, only, cold sweat.

Strange things have happened again!

The monster on the other side did not attack.

Instead, he suddenly knelt on the ground with his front legs, and his head, which looked like a tiger but not a tiger, or a cow or a cow, also hung down on the ground.

Its huge body, but it was close to the ground, and little by little, it rubbed in the direction where Xiao Zhi was standing.

Xiao Zhi's heart moved.

Cautiously, he tentatively stretched out a hand and made a gesture of caressing.

The monster's eyes suddenly showed joy, and its body slowly rubbed forward again, its huge head still hanging low on the ground.

However, its body is just too big.

After a few rubs, its huge head was in Xiaozhi's hand.

Xiao Zhi hesitated, slowly lowered his outstretched hand, gently placed it on the monster's head, and tentatively stroked it gently.

The monster looked up excitedly and licked Shichi's hand with its long tongue.

Xiao Zhi was startled, his arm shrank, and he took his hand back like lightning.

The monster suddenly lowered its head again like a child who had made a mistake, and lowered its huge head to the ground, its two big eyes slightly closed, as if admitting its mistake to Xiao Zhi, without the slightest ferocity.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi's heart let go of more than half of it.

He plucked up his courage and boldly reached out again, stroked the monster's head, and caressed it gently.

The monster lay there motionless like a trained kitten, enjoying Xiaozhi's petting.

"What's your name?!"

Xiao Zhi asked as he stroked it.

He knew that the monster couldn't speak, but as soon as he was excited, he started talking to himself.

"Roar..."

As if answering Xiao Zhi's question, the monster raised its head and screamed.

"You should be the monster Qiqi that Brother Yanagi and Sister Mengfei said about, right?!"

Xiao Zhi tilted his head and asked as if talking to a child.

The monster seemed to understand Xiao Zhi's words and nodded excitedly.

"So, you're the monster in the valley?!"

Xiao Zhi pointed outside, in fact, after being circled like this for a long time, he didn't know where the Qishan Valley was for a long time.

Maybe Xiao Zhi's actions now, after a while, he himself doesn't understand the meaning of his actions. But, strangely, the monster nodded without hesitation.

"Can you understand me?!"

The monster nodded again.

"You won't say just nod, you won't shake your head, will you?!"

Xiao Zhi frowned, this monster, I'm afraid it's a fool, right?!

To his great surprise, this time, the monster shook its head vigorously, and glared at Xiao Zhi with a pretended vicious look, as if it was about to get angry.

The cute appearance amused Xiao Zhi.

"Then I'll call you Qiqi!"

Xiao Zhi nodded seriously and said to the monster.

"Roar!"

The monster screamed again with excitement, then stood up again, ran around the cage, and somersaulted excitedly.

"Qiqi, you know me?!"

Xiao Zhi blinked and asked.

Qi Qi shook his head at first, and then nodded again.

Its actions completely confused Xiao Zhi.

"Do you know me, or do you not know me?!"

Xiao Zhi put his hands on his cheeks depressedly and looked at Qi Qi helplessly.

Qiqi seems to be a little helpless.

He bent his two hind legs, squatted on the ground, like a wolf dog, and looked at Xiao Zhi with a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"Okay!"

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Then what did you bring me here for?!" Where is this?! ”

Qi Qi seemed to understand what Xiao Zhi meant.

It walked up to Xiao Zhi, arched Xiao Zhi's left arm with its head, raised its head again, and stared at Xiao Zhi with big eyes.

Could it have something to do with that brand?!

Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled.

What made Xiao Zhi even more puzzled was that Qi Qi actually nodded.

Could it be that Qiqi can read my thoughts?!

Sure enough, Qi Qi nodded again.

It's over!

Xiao Zhi is a little upset!

Now, is there any privacy at all?!

What made him even more unhappy was that Qi Qi actually laughed stupidly.

Needless to say, it must have known Xiao Zhi's thoughts again.

That's good!

Xiao Zhi thought to himself, I don't have to talk from then on, it can read my mind anyway.

No, will this thing follow me in the future?!

If only you follow me, you can have one more partner.

He glanced at Qiqi, who nodded at him.

So, why did it bring me here?

As soon as Xiao Zhi's thoughts turned, Qi Qi began to move again.

This time, it arched Xiao Zhi with its head, and then nodded towards the middle of the cage, as if to signal Xiao Zhi to walk over and stand in the center of the cage.

Xiao Zhi walked over in surprise, stood in the middle of the cage, and turned his head to look at Qi Qi.

Poor Qiju then bent his legs and knelt on the ground, and then, with his two front legs together, raised in front of his head, as if people were burning incense and worshipping the Buddha.

Could it be that this is some kind of ceremony?!

Xiao Zhi's heart moved, and he imitated Qiqi's movements.

However, Qiqi actually shook his head at him, his eyes full of disappointment.

Maybe my movements aren't standard enough.

Xiao Zhi thought about it and adjusted his posture again.

Qiqi's expression seemed to ease a little.

Xiao Zhi felt relieved in his heart, it seems that my movements are a bit similar.

He pondered it for a moment, and then he understood.

Isn't this the action of praying for rain and worshipping Buddha in the countryside?

Xiao Zhi's guess is right!

This action is the act of prayer!

This place, in fact, is the altar!

Xiao Zhi glanced at Qi Qi, knelt there straight, bowed respectfully, kowtowed a few times, and then stood up.

Seeing him stand up, Qiqi quickly ran over and bit his trouser leg to make him kneel down again.

It itself ran frantically along the edge of the cage.

Three circles on the left, three circles on the right?!

No, it seems that there are more than three circles on the left and three circles on the right.

It doesn't seem to be a pattern.

In Xiao Zhi's opinion, it is a crazy run.

Xiao Zhi felt that it might be that Qi Qi was a little excited.

He knelt and prayed while smiling at Qiqi, who was desperately running in the cage.

As Qi Qi ran away, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a little strange.

He's actually a little dizzy!

Is it that Qiqi is running around in a mess and is dizzy?!

Possibly!

Xiao Zhi closed his eyes, wanting to stop seeing Qi Qi running desperately and no longer be dizzy.

Then, to his surprise, even though he closed his eyes, he could still feel the world spinning.

What the hell is going on?!

He opened his eyes.

Qiqi was still running around the cage, and the speed was getting faster and faster, until at the end, he could almost only see a faint pattern, spinning around the cage.

What's even stranger is that as Qiqi runs, it seems that the whole cage is also spinning.

Yes!

Xiao Zhi felt that his kneeling posture was also constantly rotating, and his speed was also constantly accelerating.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and Xiao Zhi is almost unsteady on his knees.

In order to alleviate the dizziness, he had no choice but to close his eyes again, maintain a kneeling position, raise his hands high on his forehead, and let his body spin faster and faster.

I don't know if it's because of vertigo, Xiao Zhi felt that the aura around him was constantly weakening as his rotation speed continued to increase.

As the speed of rotation increased and the light weakened, Xiao Zhi felt that his body was gradually becoming irritable, and his heart was also becoming irritable, his chest was stuffy, and his breathing began to be rapid.

As if he was about to suffocate, Xiao Zhi felt more and more uncomfortable.

He wanted to shout loudly.

But I can't shout it!

He wanted to stop!

But like an accelerator motor, the body not only did not stop, but turned faster.

His consciousness was extremely blurry.

The shadow of Qiqi's running is completely invisible.

The light of the cage's aura was also so faint that it was almost invisible, leaving only a faint trace of the ring.

Only the glittering bright spot in the middle of the top is still flickering stubbornly, but the frequency of that flickering is getting faster and faster as the rotation speed of Xiao Zhi's body increases.

Suddenly, a loud thunderclap came from the sky.

With this loud bang, a flash of light cleaved the surrounding darkness like a sharp sword, and in an instant, the entire space was completely bright.

The bright spot in the middle of the top of the cage also flashed rapidly and went out!

In this thunderbolt of lightning, Xiao Zhi's body shook, as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly collapsed to the ground in a languid state, unconscious!

The fast-spinning Qiqi was already lying on the edge of the cage exhausted, as if he had lost his strength.

Still, it's sober.

Its big eyes were looking at the motionless Xiaozhi warmly, and their eyes were full of concern and anxiety!

But, more than that, it is

Glad!
