Chapter 140 looks like it's been poisoned.
Seeing that some people actually believed the media reports, the system was furious, but because of the rules, it could not make any changes to the world, so it could not create an account to directly confront them.
After fuming for a while, the system finally sighed, suppressing its anger, and stopped looking at those mindless comments.
The system turned its view to the outside and saw that Long Xiaoxiao was sleeping peacefully with her head buried under her tail, her body rising and falling with her breath, creating a tranquil and gentle atmosphere.
Although Long Xiaoxiao was saddened for a while after hearing the news, she immediately put it aside a few hours later. She never cared much about such negative comments.
She has received so many praises since she was a child that Long Xiaoxiao is quite convinced that she is a super amazing little dragon who deserves to be liked.
If someone says they don't like her, she pretends not to hear it.
The next day arrived quickly. Long Xiaoxiao lazily opened her eyes, stretched her body and hung on a treetop. After stretching, she slowly took off to prepare for her destination.
The members of the Supernatural Department were quietly and attentively drawing the Light Talisman in the building when they noticed something unusual. They looked up and saw Long Xiaoxiao's departing figure.
After everyone looked away and exchanged glances, Tang Xuan and Tang De were the first to get up and run towards Rong Ming's office.
Rong Ming also noticed Long Xiaoxiao's departure. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the recent international media reports about Long Xiaoxiao. He worried that Long Xiaoxiao might have left because she felt that they had not protected her.
Rong Ming didn't have enough time to think too much. The moment he saw Long Xiaoxiao leave, he quickly stood up, opened the office door, and started running outside. As a result, he bumped into Tang Xuan and Tang De, who had come to find him.
"Where is the Azure Dragon God going?" Tang Xuan blurted out subconsciously.
Rong Ming shook his head, his face grim. He glanced at them and then quickly flew past, heading towards the helipad.
After boarding the helicopter, Rong Ming directed the pilot to chase after Long Xiaoxiao in the direction she had left.
Long Xiaoxiao was very fast; in that short time, she had already left China and was flying towards the primeval forests of Africa.
Long Xiaoxiao flew over quite a few cities along the way, and many people quickly took photos with their mobile phones and uploaded them to social media after noticing her. Long Xiaoxiao's sudden departure immediately caused a small sensation and concern.
"Is the Azure Dragon God leaving us?"
"No way? This time it wasn't our fault."
"Could it be that the Azure Dragon God felt that he had done so much for humanity, but the humans didn't appreciate it, so he got angry and left?"
"Yeah, does that mean we'll really never see the Azure Dragon God again?"
"I think it's possible. This news is really too provocative [angry]. I'm getting angry just looking at it, let alone the Azure Dragon God."
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. I'll tell you, that direction is towards Africa [smile]. The Azure Dragon God must be checking on something."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"..."
Long Xiaoxiao quickly arrived at the previous location, looked around, and immediately noticed a pool of clear spring water that still remained on the ground. She then quickly swooped down towards it.
The spring was still as clear and abundant as when Long Xiaoxiao left, but everything around it was quiet and lifeless. Long Xiaoxiao felt unwell as soon as she came down, as if a strong, chilling malice was lurking in the shadows.
Sensing Long Xiaoxiao's vigilance, the system quickly scanned the surroundings. There were no native corpses within its detection range.
"Let's head east," the system commanded, its database still containing the route the natives had taken to the tribe when they led Long Xiaoxiao there.
Long Xiaoxiao obediently flew eastward, and the closer she got, the more obvious the malice became.
This unsettling feeling was both familiar and strange, like the aura of darkness, yet with an added chilling, unfathomable quality.
Long Xiaoxiao quickly arrived near the indigenous tribe, but stopped as soon as she got close.
There were corpses everywhere.
Before they died, everyone seemed to have experienced great pain. Their faces were contorted, and their outstretched hands were twisted, as if they were desperately trying to grab something before they died. Because of the hot weather, maggots slowly grew on their bodies. The tiny white maggots wriggled, and the putrid smell emanating from the heat made people want to vomit.
This was the first time Long Xiaoxiao had ever truly faced a corpse. Although she had previous disaster relief experience, she had never actually seen the bodies because they were buried deep underground. Now, suddenly faced with such a strong impact, Long Xiaoxiao stood frozen in place.
In her dragon form, she felt nauseous but couldn't vomit; she only felt waves of nausea and fear.
Death is so cruel.
The system detected Long Xiaoxiao's tense emotions and realized that the scene was still a bit too scary for a five-year-old child, let alone a child who had been well protected by her family since childhood.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. If you're scared, go back first," the system said to Long Xiaoxiao in a gentle voice.
He was now filled with remorse. He had originally planned to have Long Xiaoxiao personally investigate the cause of death of these people, and then present irrefutable evidence to slap Liguo in the face. But now, it seemed that Long Xiaoxiao might collapse before she could even find the cause of death.
“They…are all dead,” Long Xiaoxiao stammered, staring blankly at everything before her.
The system didn't respond for a few seconds, then its voice softened further: "Yes, but this has nothing to do with you. You didn't cause their deaths. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come. If you're scared, let's go back first."
Long Xiaoxiao stood there quietly for a few minutes, and then her blank expression slowly returned to normal. She shook her head and said firmly, "No, they can't just die like this. I have to find out why!"
After saying this, Long Xiaoxiao slowly wandered around the tribe and found that the deaths of these natives were all very similar, and the maggots wriggling on their bodies were mostly strangely shaped, oddly fat, and their bodies were not just simple white, but dotted with black spots.
The more Long Xiaoxiao looked, the more she felt something was wrong, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. After thinking for a few seconds, she hesitated and said, "It looks like they've been poisoned."
The system scanned their corpses and, after hearing Long Xiaoxiao's words, denied it, saying, "It's not poison."
Long Xiaoxiao's conjecture was refuted, and she became even more confused. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly said, "Let Uncle Rongming and the others take a look!"
Rongming and his colleagues are more familiar with this aspect.
