The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

377: Bottom of the Cliff

Shrill screams came in bursts, and being at the bottom of a cliff like this, it sounded like ghosts wailing.

“Thank me.
If it weren’t for me, you’d be dead.” Rui Baby gave Zo a proud look.
It seemed to say: I’m amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Great things must be repeated three times.

“You saved me?” Zo was surprised.
He thought Feng Wu had used some special ability.
He never expected it was Rui Baby that saved him.

It wasn’t that Zo looked down on the little guy, but he was so small, you could practically fit him in your pocket.
It was hard to believe such a little guy could save anyone.

Besides, he knew rui beasts had no offensive abilities.
Aside from its own innate skills, it really had no powers at all.
So Zo had a difficult time associating Rui Baby with his savior.

“Of course, it was this baby! If you don’t believe, you can ask Feng Wu!” Rui Baby said angrily.

Feng Wu nodded.
It was indeed Rui Baby that saved them.

As the two of them fell off the cliff, Rui Baby had jumped out and sent Feng Wu to the bottom safely.
Zo wasn’t as fortunate.

“You can do that?!” Zo was shocked.
He had never heard of a rui having such an ability before.

“What’s so weird about that? I have the power to protect myself, even if I am weak.
This kind of enchantment is just a form of self-protection.
There’s no offensive capabilities to it.”

The wise little guy was so sad; he didn’t have any attack abilities at all.
If he couldn’t do something as simple as create a barrier, then any ordinary beasts would be able to bully him.

“When did rui beasts have this kind of power?!” Most importantly, Zi Cheng’s friend never said anything about it.
What was going on?

Zo was confused.
He wasn’t sure if his world’s Zi Cheng had kept the ability secret or if the rui beast she controlled never had it.

“You know I’m a rui beast?!” Rui Baby froze before immediately retreating into Feng Wu’s arms.
The expression on his face clearly said he did not want to be kidnapped.
He was on high alert as he looked at Zo.

Zo rubbed his nose, embarrassed.
He accidentally revealed something he shouldn’t have.
How to handle the situation?

Even Feng Wu was looking at him suspiciously now.
She was simple, but she wasn’t stupid.
She knew the rui could make people behave badly.
Plus, she never told Zo about Rui Baby, so how did he know?

Feng Wu blinked her big, confused eyes at Zo, her questions clearly there to see.

“Well -cough-. . .  Actually my family has written records of rui beasts so I was able to guess the baby’s identity a few days ago.” Zo had no choice but to lie shamefully.

“You could tell the rock was a rui egg? Others thought it was only an ore.
How did you know it was me inside?”

Unlike Feng Wu, who was sweet and easy to deceive, Rui Baby was a wise beast with an IQ higher than the stratosphere.

Such a simple lie, how could it fool Rui Baby?

The question had been so sharp, it left Zo speechless.

The shrill screams around them increased and were now coming almost one after the another in succession.
It was horrifying to hear.

“Let’s look around and try to find something to eat.” Zo bluntly changed the topic.
He didn’t dare let Rui Baby ask any more questions.
Any more and his reborn disguise would be torn off.

No one could know.
He only shared his identity with Ai Lin because both of them had secret identities and they shared a common enemy, thus it was good for them to cooperate.
He wasn’t worried about Ai Lin revealing his secret because she had a secret of her own.

Besides, someone reborn like him wasn’t as conspicuous as an alien soul like Ai Lin.
She had a lot more to lose if her secret was revealed than he did if his was revealed.
So he knew Ai Lin would stay quiet about his secret.

With Feng Wu, well, he just didn’t want to involve her.
There were a lot of things he had to do, most of which were dangerous.
He didn’t want to involve Feng Wu in any of it.
He just hoped she could live a long and happy life.

Of course he wanted to protect himself as well.
The intense look Rui Baby gave him made him sick to his stomach.

“There is a lot of grievance and miasma here.
We may have reached a forbidden place.” Rui Baby rose up and flew back to Feng Wu’s hair to continue making his nest.

Feng Wu nodded in agreement.
The entire place was colored red and black to her, very strange.

Feng Wu raised her head to look around.
The screams felt even closer, which was confusing.
Who was calling out? Whoever it was, had to be in a lot of pain.
She remembered when she was on Yuehua mountain and one of her bear friends stepped into a bear trap.
It had been incredibly painful for him.

How pitiful.
Whoever it was, had to be injured like the big bear.

“The sound is really hard on the ears.”

The heartfelt cries of pain was really difficult to listen to.

Zo followed behind Feng Wu as she walked all around the base of the cliff.
There were a lot of white bones and poisonous bugs and flowers.
They also found the entrance to a cave, which was where the screaming cries originated from.

“Do you want to go in?” Zo looked into the opening, wondering if they should go in or not.
It didn’t look like anything good.
It was probably a dead end, but there was a possibility it was the exit out of the haunting place.

“Do we have a choice? Do you want to stay and retire here with a bunch of bones?” Rui Baby rolled his eyes.

He had some something stupid Zo realized.

“Let’s go!” Master said if there were difficulties, then you had to overcome them.
If you couldn’t overcome them, then you had to work hard to improve your strength and then over come them.
Feng Wu always listened to Master’s words.
She wasn’t afraid at all.
What she was more concerned about was whether or not she was strong enough to overcome the danger inside.

If it was too dangerous, then she would bring Zo back out and go back inside again later after improving her strength.

That was an easy decision.

Zo would definitely have complained if he knew Feng Wu’s thinking process.

Zo: Didn’t you think about what to do if we can’t get out?

Feng Wu: I didn’t think about it.
