Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 396 Are you hiding something invisible on your body?

The six of them sat around the fire, and Ding Shu took the lead in opening the conversation: "So, there are six of us now, how should we divide ourselves into groups?"

"Of course the six of us will be divided into groups of two." Ren Liang said as a matter of course.

"So I asked how to divide the team. We used to be in groups of two or three." Ding Shu glanced cautiously in Xiao's direction. "Who among us will accompany the boss?"

"Since you raised this question, how about you and Xiao form a group?" Baili Ling said with a smile.

Ding Shu was startled: "Huh?"

Zhao Gaoli said, "I support this grouping."

Duan Shan nodded: "Same."

"No, you guys!" Ding Shu looked at his former teammates in disbelief. Finally, he set his sights on Baili Ling, hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Captain, you know me best."

But what he didn't see was the teasing and gloating that could not be hidden in Baili Ling's eyes.

"Really? Then I think you and Xiao would get along better."

Ding Shu straightened his back immediately and stared into Baili Ling's eyes seriously: "Captain, are you kidding me?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

Ding Shu pushed Baili Ling's arm away in disdain and asked, "What about me makes you feel that you and the boss are more compatible? It can't be the end, right?"

Xiao, who was watching the fun silently: "?"

Baili Ling coughed dryly and looked up at the sky: "Anyway, it's decided."

Ding Shu wailed in pain: "No——"

Ren Liang patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Do a good job."

"What do you think?" Baili Ling looked at Xiao.

Xiao said "hmm" lightly and thought to himself: This child is so pitiful, so why is he so afraid of me?

The night watch division of labor meeting ended like this.

In fact, Baili Ling was not making a blind decision. He wanted to see Ding Shu have fun, so he made such arrangements for a reason.

Apart from Xiao, he and Ren Liang are the ones with the highest realm in the team and need to lead their own teams.

Along the way, Xiao and Duan Shan had little communication and were quite unfamiliar with each other. If they were arranged to keep watch together, the atmosphere would probably be very awkward.

At the same time, Ren Liang tends to act rashly, and needs a Zhao Gaoli to back him up to prevent him from making mistakes due to his impulsiveness.

So in the end, the only one who could be matched with Xiao was Ding Shu.

The six people were divided into groups. The first group was Baili Ling and Duan Shan, the second group was Xiao and Ding Shu, and the third group was Ren Liang and Zhao Gaoli.

At midnight, it was Xiao's turn to keep watch. He and Ding Shu sat in front of the fire together.

Seeing Ding Shu's trembling expression, Xiao finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Why are you so afraid of me?"

"Ah...ah? Haha, maybe I'm impressed by your temperament, boss? Well, yes, this is not fear, but awe." Ding Shu laughed and tried to fool him.

He couldn't just tell the truth and say that Xiao appeared in his dream, and that the Xiao in the dream was very scary, like a man-eating evil ghost, right?

It would be so offensive to say this out loud. He might even lose another life-saving magic weapon.

Seeing that Ding Shu was unwilling to answer, Xiao didn't dare to ask any further questions. He could only suppress his curiosity and continue to spread his perception to explore the situation underground nearby.

He sensed a presence moving through the camp, finally stopping beside him.

This breath does not belong to the enemy.

Xiao turned his head to look at Bai Jie who was sitting next to him, and his eyelids twitched.

What is this guy going to do?

Could it be that he failed to harass me during the day, so he wants to make up for it while I am on duty at night?

Are you sick?

Xiao stood up calmly and was about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Jie.

"Hey, don't go! Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to take your shift."

Xiao stopped, but did not return to his original seat. Instead, he turned his back to Bai Jie and said lightly, "It seems that you don't need to be on duty tonight."

"You're right, but no one says we have to sleep in the tent at night." Bai Jie's cheerful voice sounded, "Besides, I want to sleep too, but I don't know what's wrong these past two days. I have nightmares every time I fall asleep. What can I do?"

Nightmare?!

Hearing this word, Ding Shu's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Bai Jie, but he quickly pretended nothing had happened and looked away.

I would rather die than let my friend die, so I'd better trouble you to continue to attract the attention of this weirdo.

Xiao was facing the direction where Ding Shu was sitting at the moment, and he easily noticed the abnormality in the other person's expression.

Nightmare...

So, is it really related to the aftereffects of anger?

Xiao became even more curious about what he looked like in his dreams.

"Standing is so tiring, let's sit down and talk."

Bai Jie's words brought Xiao back to his senses. He maintained his original posture and said indifferently, "Even so, you don't need to leave the tent."

"But it's boring to stay in a tent alone."

"..."

"If I don't come to chat with you when you're awake, do you want me to attack Yang Ce at night?"

"Uh……"

"Although, it's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before."

"..."

Xiao was completely speechless.

That's enough, get out of here! Stop treating me as just a part of your play!

Red Mandrill: “…”

The smile on Bai Jie's face suddenly froze, and an indescribable chill rose from his tailbone. This feeling was exactly the same as the sudden chill he felt the moment before the Hunting Wind Cloud Leopard lost control yesterday evening.

Behind Xiao, there seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at him, expressing silent intimidation.

Bai Jie restrained the smile on his face, looked at Xiao meaningfully, and then moved away from Xiao.

As he gave in and showed weakness, the feeling of being on edge disappeared.

really.

Bai Jie hid the gleam in his eyes, put on his smiling face again, and said casually: "By the way, Master Xiao, are you hiding something on your body that cannot be seen by others?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Shu, who was secretly watching the show on the side, turned his head and couldn't help but look in the direction of Xiao.

But he soon realized that his actions were too obvious in their intention to spy, so he turned his head to look up at the sky, pretending to be indifferent, but in fact, he had been stealing glances at Xiao out of the corner of his eyes, and his attention was completely focused on the sound coming back from Xiao.

However, after that, he did not hear any words. He could only see through the corner of his eye that Xiao finally turned around and walked towards Bai Jie.

Xiao thanked Green Xiao in his heart for helping him cast the magic that could block the propagation of sound, and sat down on the ground in front of Bai Jie.

After hearing what Bai Jie said, Xiao was a little surprised, but he had long been accustomed to hiding his emotions, so he did not show it.

He needed to find out how much Jay had guessed and whether it would bring him unnecessary trouble.

The previous harassment and attacks from the mutated dead willow did not pose any trouble to Xiao.

"What do you mean?" he asked
