Chapter 248: Angry Birds

Walking in a stone passage, Su Xiao watched his surroundings vigilantly from time to time.

After entering the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', he felt a bit uneasy in his heart, as if huge danger was hidden here.

The high-intensity flashlight shook, and the Little Emperor followed closely behind Su Xiao. Now Su Xiao had become his life-saving straw.

Su Xiao also needed the Little Emperor for the time being, so he just let the other party follow.

"Have you been here before?"

"Never been here."

"Then how do you know which direction to walk?"

"A strange intuition. Only here is safe. Entering other entrances will lead to death."

Su Xiao stopped paying attention to the Little Emperor, his spirit highly concentrated.

After walking for ten minutes, a dim light appeared in front of the stone passage, and the air was slightly sweet.

【You have entered the outskirts of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground'. The density of alchemy toxins has increased. The air filtration device is about to fail. Please turn on a higher-intensity air filtration device, costing 150 Paradise Coins per hour.】

Su Xiao paused. Reincarnation Paradise was taking advantage of the fire.

"Turn on."

The transparent shield around his body strengthened, and the sweet smell in the air disappeared.

【You are being eroded by Kanison poison gas, losing 10 health per second, effect lasts for 5 seconds.】

Su Xiao was poisoned in just a few seconds, his health starting to drop rapidly.

He had just arrived at the outskirts of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground' and hadn't even seen an enemy, but his health had already lost nearly half. If this continued, it would definitely not work.

Hesitating for a while, Su Xiao took out Xiang Bubu's core; he prepared to summon Xiang Bubu.

Xiang Bubu was a biological Teigu and was connected to alchemy. He didn't know if it could be immune to this kind of poison gas.

Xiang Bubu appeared. As soon as it appeared, Xiang Bubu frolicked around Su Xiao.

Su Xiao checked Xiang Bubu's status. At the very bottom of Xiang Bubu's information, a line of small text appeared.

【Being eroded by Kanison poison gas, receiving 1 point of true damage per second.】

Xiang Bubu couldn't be immune to alchemy poison gas. Fortunately, the health lost was very little. With the recovery effect of the Ice Goddess Aura, Xiang Bubu was not in danger.

Xiang Bubu snorted, seemingly very disgusted with the sweet smell in the air.

A feeling of vitality appeared. Under the effect of the Ice Goddess Aura, Su Xiao's health continued to recover, and the feeling of stuffiness after being eroded by the alchemy poison gas gradually disappeared.

"Is this your Teigu? I have never seen this kind of Teigu in the records."

The Little Emperor reached out, wanting to stroke Xiang Bubu's head.

"Grrr~."

A threatening low growl came from Xiang Bubu's throat, and its full mouth of sharp teeth was bared. The "idiot" look it usually had in front of Su Xiao disappeared.

If the Little Emperor's hand dared to move forward again, his entire arm wouldn't be saved.

"What a fierce Teigu."

The Little Emperor retreated sensibly. The wolf nature in Xiang Bubu's eyes had already appeared.

"Xiang Bubu, be ready to guard the surroundings at any time."

Hearing Su Xiao's command, Xiang Bubu wagged its tail and ran to Su Xiao's side, rubbing against his leg.

Su Xiao held 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】 and walked forward, Xiang Bubu following behind.

The closer he got to the end of the passage, the more obvious the light became. He turned off the high-intensity flashlight and put it away.

Walking to the end of the passage, a breeze blew across Su Xiao's cheek, and he stood there in a daze.

The scene in front of him was truly shocking. This was an unknown number of meters deep underground, but in front of him was a scene full of vitality.

In front was an endless open space, the top was white and vast, unable to see the specific structure, but the light came from here.

A breeze blew across the grass on the ground, like a piece of emerald green ocean. In the distance, one could vaguely see a few trees, the leaves rustling in the wind.

Stepping on the soft grass, Su Xiao felt that he wasn't deep underground, but had come to some grassland, a grassland with beautiful scenery.

"There is actually such a place under the Imperial Palace. Unbelievable."

The Little Emperor stood in a daze.

"How is the ecological balance of this place maintained?"

Su Xiao looked up at a few small birds flying in the sky. These small birds were similar in size to sparrows, with a body of gorgeous blue feathers.

After seeing these blue small birds, Su Xiao suddenly felt a bit creepy.

A dozen blue small birds circled above Su Xiao's head, their flight speed getting faster and faster. In the end, they began to glide like swallows.

Strangely, these blue small birds only stared at Su Xiao, not even looking at the Little Emperor.

Here it comes!

Su Xiao held 【Checking Zhan Long Shan】 in front of him, and a blue afterimage swooped down with a *whoosh*.

【Checking Zhan Long Shan】 drew a semicircle in the air, the blade accurately slashing onto the small bird.

A slight resistance came, and Su Xiao's face changed. Since entering the *Akame ga Kill! * world, this was the first time he had this feeling. The body strength of this kind of blue small bird wasn't low.

Slashing the blue small bird into two sections with one knife, the corpse of the blue small bird slid past both sides of Su Xiao.

*Bang. *

Two muffled sounds came at the same time. Su Xiao looked at the grass beside him. On the grass appeared holes the thickness of an arm, bottomless.

What a strong diving force. If this blue small bird hit Su Xiao, it would definitely hit a blood hole the size of a fist.

And there were still a dozen such blue small birds circling above.

The death of one blue small bird seemed to anger the other blue small birds. These beautiful small creatures collectively swooped down, their bodies straight, their sharp beaks like awls.

Su Xiao retreated a few steps. These blue small birds slid past his eyes.

*Bang, bang, bang... *

Soil splashed, grass clippings flew into the sky. These small birds all disappeared into the ground.

Su Xiao stood on the spot and watched. He could handle a dozen of these small birds, but if there were hundreds, he could only wait for death. That density of diving was absolutely impossible to dodge.

After a few minutes, there was no movement in those holes. Su Xiao walked forward and found blood stains on the edges of those bottomless holes, pale green blood stains.

These small birds were launching suicide attacks, and after entering the ground, they would be killed by the powerful impact.

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He had been given a "down payment" just after entering the outskirts of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground'.

"Woof woof."

Xiang Bubu barked at the distance. Su Xiao turned his head to look at Xiang Bubu, and then looked in the direction Xiang Bubu was barking.

"How could there be so many?"

Su Xiao grabbed the Little Emperor, jumped onto Xiang Bubu's back, and let Xiang Bubu immediately turn on the skill 'Full Speed Charge'.

Full Speed Charge (Active): After turning on this skill, Xiang Bubu's movement speed increases by 100%, consuming 10 mana points per minute, and can carry heavy objects.

"Xiang Bubu, run."

Xiang Bubu ran wildly without hesitation, and a strong wind blew toward his face.

Su Xiao rode on Xiang Bubu's back and turned to look behind.

In the sky several hundred meters behind Su Xiao, thousands of those blue small birds were flying at this moment.

A hundred would be enough to take Su Xiao's life, and thousands were completely at a disaster level.

Fortunately, Xiang Bubu ran very fast. Xiang Bubu stuck out its tongue and looked at the flock of birds behind.

"Don't look around, focus on running."

Su Xiao was startled by Xiang Bubu's actions. This idiot had fallen once when carrying him.

"Tree."

Su Xiao shouted.

Xiang Bubu was rushing toward an old tree with a diameter of more than ten meters. Hearing Su Xiao's shout, Xiang Bubu hurriedly straightened its head and tried its best to avoid the old tree.

Xiang Bubu narrowly ran past the old tree, the distance not exceeding twenty centimeters.

*Bang. *

Su Xiao felt the Little Emperor's body in his hand shake, and the Little Emperor's head hit the old tree, his eyes rolling back and he fainted. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
