It was like punching a pillow. That overwhelming sense of disappointment felt awful.
She even felt nauseated.
The little girl dry-heaved a few times.
Everything before her eyes was blurry.
It hurt so much...
Her whole body hurt...
So cold...
So miserable...
Mom, did she eat something bad?
Her stomach felt awful.
Mom...
The little girl's whole body began to twitch faintly.
It wasn't very noticeable.
The girl was already close to passing out.
Her whole body was ice-cold.
Rain beat down on her.
But the corners of her eyes were hot.
No.
Scorching.
She even felt as though they were burning her.
"Ah..."
The girl struggled to open her mouth wide again.
Rain fell into her mouth.
Then trickled from the corners of her lips.
"Hel...p..."
"Please..."
"Help... me..."
"Help..."
Xiao Xiao's ears twitched slightly.
He thought he heard something.
Or perhaps he hadn't heard anything at all.
He looked down.
Since he was certain there was someone below...
The other person was clearly badly injured, so they could barely even call for help.
He had hoped they would make a sound so he could pinpoint their location.
But he had underestimated how badly they were hurt.
Then...
"Gu Diao."
The next second, Xiao Xiao was standing on the monster's broad back.
"Li~"
Gu Diao spread its wings.
The already gloomy sky grew even darker.
Lu Duan instinctively darted backward, moving faster than it could think.
Only after putting a little distance between itself and the other did it realize that it had acted as though it were retreating.
For a moment, Lu Duan's expression shifted repeatedly.
"Rustle!"
The little monkey abruptly ducked into the dense foliage.
The leaf in its hand slipped from its grasp.
A gust of wind swept by.
