Chapter 56: Must Come Back Safely

Aunt Qiao was afraid that Jiang Li would get hungry on the road, so she specially packed some freshly baked cakes for her. She looked at the map in her backpack and felt that the distance wasn’t too far. She originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t resist Aunt Qiao’s enthusiasm, so she took the cakes with her. Thankfully, her system backpack could store items, so she didn’t have to carry the cakes on her back. Perhaps it was mother-child connection, Jun Rui seemed to sense that Jiang Li was going to be away for a few days, and he didn’t fall asleep until the sky was slightly bright the next day.

“Xiao Rui, be good and wait for me here, mommy will definitely bring your daddy back this time.” Jiang Li made up her mind. She bent down and gently kissed Jun Rui’s soft cheek. After leaving the house, she found that Aunt Qiao and Heidu were already waiting in the courtyard. “Aunt Qiao, Heidu, why are you awake?” Jiang Li was stunned. “Xiao Li, we’re here to see you off.” Aunt Qiao’s eyes were full of worry. “Come back as soon as possible, we’ll wait for you at home.”

 Jiang Li nodded heavily, “Yeah, okay.” Heidu, who was standing beside her, turned his face away and didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until Jiang Li had just walked two steps outside that Heidu’s steady voice came from behind. “Jiang Li.” Jiang Li stopped and turned her head back in confusion. Those black eyes looked at her intently, with emotions she couldn’t understand in their depths. Those thin lips kept moving, but every time he opened his mouth, he would gently close it again, hesitant. “Come back safe.” After a long time, Heidu finally said these words.

Jiang Li’s eyebrows curved slightly, revealing a smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” After saying that, she turned her head and left without looking back. After leaving the Black Bear tribe, the sky had completely darkened. It was difficult to see at night, and it was also difficult to sense danger. She had to reach the Sana River before dawn.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Li transformed into her beast form. She hadn’t transformed into her beast form for a long time, and now, looking at herself, the feathers on her body, which had been dry and thin, had become bright. Some of the downy feathers had even shed, and yellow and blue feathers had grown. It must be because her spiritual power was gradually increasing, even the feathers on her body had changed. Jiang Li didn’t have time to think about this. She quickly flapped her wings and flew up. According to the map, she flew towards the direction of the Sana River.

 Jiang Li had a fatal flaw. Not only was her sense of direction extremely bad, she couldn’t even read the distances on the map. After flying for a while, she found that she hadn’t moved much on the map at all. What made it even more frustrating was that she seemed to have flown in the wrong direction… She hadn’t flown in the sky for a long time, and even her stamina had deteriorated.

At this moment, Jiang Li was covered in sweat, her tongue hung out, and she kept gasping for breath. In this stuffy and hot weather, long-distance flying was very exhausting. Especially since she was also confused about the direction. Traveling at night made her sense of direction even more chaotic. She was very suspicious that she was flying in a circle, circling around and still returning to the same place. “I’m so tired, where did I end up?

” Jiang Li mumbled as she looked at the map in front of her, she looked at it for a long time but still couldn’t figure out where she was. Finally, she lost her patience. Seeing a small forest not far ahead, she decided to go down and rest for a while, just in time to study the map and continue flying. After what happened last time, she was still a little scared when she saw the forest again, afraid of falling into a place like the Mist Forest.

She hadn’t found the person yet, and she had almost lost her life again. She twisted her little head and observed her surroundings, confirming that it was just an ordinary forest, Jiang Li dared to fly down. But just as her claws landed on a tall tree, a “rustling” sound suddenly came from the thick grass under the tree. She immediately tensed up, her eyes narrowed, watching the movement below.

The movement in the grass became louder and louder, Jiang Li stared intently at the movement in the grass, her claws were sweating. “Whoosh!” An arrow shot out from the grass, quickly flying towards Jiang Li. Jiang Li was startled and quickly dodged to the side. The arrow grazed her. Even the bright feathers that had just grown on her body fell off.

Looking at the feathers floating in the air, slowly falling down and disappearing into the grass, Jiang Li felt a pang in her heart. The few beautiful feathers she had finally grown, now they were all gone! Gone! She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the grass below, but there was no movement in the grass. Just as she was stretching her neck to observe in confusion, a “whoosh” sound came from behind. This time, Jiang Li couldn’t dodge, the sharp arrow, without warning, pierced into her abdomen. A sharp pain shot through her abdomen. She cursed inwardly.

 She didn’t expect someone to attack from behind! She frowned, gasped in pain, and silently retreated with her feet. But she forgot that she was on a tree, and she stepped into thin air. Her body uncontrollably fell down. In a split second, Jiang Li fell to the ground. The blood from her abdomen gushed out, instantly flowing all over the ground.

“I won!” A man emerged from the grass behind her. He held a bow and arrow, cheering and jumping, laughing wildly. “Qinghe, I won again this time!” The grass in front of Jiang Li moved again, and a chubby man emerged from it. He slowly walked out of the grass, pouting slightly in dissatisfaction. “Humph, you’ve only just learned how to use a bow and arrow, how come you win every time?” The man behind her walked past her and came to the chubby man.

 His body was tall and straight, his upper body was bare, revealing his strong muscles. Although he was just facing away from her, his silhouette was also very beautiful. He was not at all humble, and his tone was very cocky. “Heh, this is called talent! You lose the bet, the prey is still mine, you can’t compete with me.” The chubby man turned sideways, crossed his arms, and his face was even more dissatisfied. “I know, I know, who would compete with you?

That bird looks dry and skinny, it must not be delicious.” The man behind her didn’t mind, he laughed twice. “Even if it’s not delicious, it’s my prey!” “Humph!” The chubby man raised his chin. “Ye Chen, look behind you!” The chubby man’s face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, his raised hands trembled, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly.

The man named Ye Chen turned his head in suspicion. He found that the bird that was on the ground suddenly turned into a woman. “Hmm? How did this happen?” Ye Chen squatted down and observed carefully, “Where’s my bird? How did it turn into a female?

” Feeling someone approaching her, Jiang Li slightly raised her tightly furrowed eyebrows, slowly opened her eyes and looked.
