"Big brother, I don't need to..."
Gu Qingheng ignored Shadow Three and Shadow Six's protests, instead turning his gaze to Xiaohei.
Xiaohei tilted its head and looked at the two injured companions, then let out two chirps before waddle-walking over.
Gu Qingheng placed Shadow Six onto Xiaohei's back. "Hold on tight."
"Big brother..." Gu Ning hugged Xiaohei's neck but still seemed uneasy. "You should go first, I..."
"Let's go." Gu Qingheng didn't hesitate, helping Shadow Three onto Xiaohei's back as well. "Xiaohei, fly slower; they're injured."
Xiaohei let out another cry before taking off with a swoosh. In no time, it had disappeared from sight.
"I want to leave too!" Peng Jing suddenly shouted, pointing at Heihei. "You! Carry me out!"
Heihei couldn't be bothered to acknowledge her and instead turned to waddle over to Gu Qingheng's side. Her mate wasn't around, the two snakes weren't here either, so now she was fully committed to being protective of Gu Qingheng.
