Bei Mingyuan and Xin Huohuo frowned at almost the same time.
'Not her? What does that mean? Was she put up to this by someone? Who? What are they trying to do?'
"I don't care who it is," Bei Mingyuan said in a low voice, as if growing impatient, and twitched his index finger.
Behind him, a multicolored creature suddenly emerged... the Blood Bone Bird!
In truth, the Blood Bone Bird had been there all along, following closely at Bei Mingyuan's heels. But Xin Huohuo, scrambling away in a panic, hadn't noticed, so its appearance felt quite sudden. The Blood Bone Bird loved catching people and fighting, but in modern, peaceful society, such opportunities were few and far between; it felt like its bones had grown rusty. Now that a small opportunity had presented itself, it was so excited it nearly leaped into the air. It pounced with lightning speed, its iron talons shot out, and it seized the Earth Spirit.
