Leaving the Burrow
"Alright, start showing the way now." Xiao Feng ignored the Taowu and spoke directly to the Bird Demon Leader.
The Bird Demon Leader guided the way ahead in a terrible mood.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei followed behind the Bird Demon Leader, but before they had walked for long, Xiao Feng sensed something was wrong.
He wanted to leave the cave, not head deeper into it; why did it feel like they were going downwards?
"I'm warning you, don't try any tricks on me. We have no interest in exploring what's inside this cave; we just want to leave. I told you to show us the way out of here, not the way deeper into the cave!"
Xiao Feng stopped the Bird Demon Leader from leading the way and threatened it coldly.
The Bird Demon Leader spoke with great grievance: "Didn't you ask me to lead the way? I am taking you out of the cave!"
"If you don't believe me, you can find a way yourself. The exit isn't above; the exit has always been below!"
Xiao Feng originally did not want to believe the Bird Demon Leader's words.
But after considering it, the Bird Demon Leader's life was in Xiao Feng's hands.
Unless the Bird Demon Leader didn't want to live anymore, it had no reason to lead Xiao Feng and the others into danger.
After all, if Xiao Feng died, no one would be able to cure the poison in the Bird Demon Leader's body.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Bird Demon Leader to harm Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
However, the Bird Demon Leader's attitude made Xiao Feng very dissatisfied.
Xiao Feng sneered and said directly: "I'm just too lazy to waste effort using my Divine Sense to find where the exit is, it doesn't mean I can't find it! If you don't learn how to speak properly, I can let you experience the pain of the poison acting up again!"
The Bird Demon Leader looked at Xiao Feng with a grievance-filled expression, but eventually softened its tone: "My lord, I know I was wrong. Could you please lift your noble feet and continue walking towards the exit?"
Xiao Feng was satisfied then and took Zhao Yuwei's hand.
The two of them cautiously followed behind the Bird Demon Leader.
But after walking for a long time, they still hadn't seen the exit.
Zhao Yuwei gently pinched Xiao Feng's palm.
Xiao Feng understood Zhao Yuwei's meaning and spoke up: "Hey, you Bird Demon, are you intentionally stalling for time? How much longer until we reach the exit? Don't tell me the exit is at the very bottom of the entire cave!"
The Bird Demon Leader impatiently wanted to brush Xiao Feng off.
However, after it said just two sentences, Xiao Feng kicked the Bird Demon Leader.
"It seems you still don't understand your situation. It would be easy for me to kill you, and you aren't the only one who can lead the way for us!"
Seeing the impatience in Xiao Feng's eyes, the Bird Demon Leader dared not stall any longer, nor did it dare to talk nonsense, and could only honestly and quickly answer: "We'll be there after going down two more levels; it won't take long."
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly. It was just a simple sentence, yet it had to wait until he beat it up before it would say it.
Xiao Feng even suspected that this Bird Demon might have some masochistic tendencies.
The Bird Demon indeed hadn't lied. After going down two more levels, Xiao Feng could vaguely feel the fluctuations of a Formation in operation.
The Bird Demon stopped in the center and said: "There is a Formation here. Theoretically, it is impossible for your Human Race to enter this kind of place; only Yao Beasts can enter and exit freely."
"I also don't know why humans appeared here, but if you can unlock this Formation, or break it, you will be able to leave from here. This is the only exit I know of."
Without the Bird Demon saying anything, Xiao Feng could also feel the power of this Formation.
Breaking the Formation would be a bit difficult, but Xiao Feng did have the ability to make it stop blocking them from leaving.
Xiao Feng took out the Formation Flag he had kept from his space and, based on the situation of the Formation, determined several key Formation eyes.
Xiao Feng quickly inserted the flags in his hand into those Formation eyes, and the entire Formation temporarily stopped running.
The cave exit, which was originally shrouded in mist, appeared before Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
After Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stepped past this point, Xiao Feng took the flags back into his hands. After walking a short distance further, they reached the exit of the cave.
Looking at the light ahead, Xiao Feng's Divine Sense quickly swept out to confirm there were no traps on this last stretch of the road, and he beckoned the Bird Demon and the Taowu to follow.
The two humans and two beasts finally successfully exited the cave.
The cave entrance was on a mountain, but Xiao Feng smelled a faint scent of the ocean in the wind blowing over.
This must be a place by the sea, or perhaps on a small island.
"Freedom! I'm coming!" The Taowu, which had followed Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei out, was extremely excited. After shouting this, it rushed out.
Xiao Feng had already promised the Taowu that he would release it, so he did not stop its actions.
As a result, neither Xiao Feng nor Zhao Yuwei noticed the resentment in the Taowu's eyes.
Following behind the Taowu, the Bird Demon Leader, who felt the same hatred for Xiao Feng, originally wanted to take this opportunity to rush out, escape from Xiao Feng, and find other ways to remove the poison in its body.
However, as it passed by Xiao Feng, its wing was grabbed by Xiao Feng.
"What are you running for?" Xiao Feng's voice rang out, and the Bird Demon Leader's body stiffened.
The resentment in its heart made the Bird Demon Leader consider whether it should risk half its life to play a dirty trick and ambush Xiao Feng.
But considering Xiao Feng's methods along the way, the Bird Demon gritted its teeth in hatred and dismissed the thought.
Anyway, the two humans, Xiao Feng and the other, wouldn't live long on this island; this was not a place where their Human Race could act recklessly!
Thinking that Xiao Feng and the other might discover the truth here in a while, the Bird Demon became somewhat expectant.
At this moment, Xiao Feng did not notice the Bird Demon's abnormality, only thinking that the Bird Demon wanted to sneak away.
Xiao Feng couldn't understand; besides himself, only Wu Hai could cure the poison in the Bird Demon's body.
Was it in such a rush to run because it was in a rush to die?
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei completely left the exit and took the opportunity to see the full view of the place.
"Is this an island?" Xiao Feng asked the Bird Demon Leader.
The Bird Demon Leader's voice was flat: "It is a small island."
Looking at the boundless island that had no end in sight, Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, and he said directly: "Your small island is quite large then."
The Bird Demon Leader did not speak. Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei subconsciously looked around, wanting to determine what kind of place this was.
However, they discovered that the plants here looked very strange.
They had never seen most of the plants before.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei looked at each other, clearly having discovered this situation as well.
In the silence, the two of them suddenly thought of a possibility.
They had fallen into a Space Rift and were then thrown into this cave.
The Bird Demon Leader said that the Human Race could not enter this cave because there was a Formation.
Therefore, they had been sent in directly by the Space Rift.
They might have already left the previous continent and arrived at a new place.
