Vol 3 Chapter 283: Fox at work

Chapter 283 The Fox at Work
Going around a few woods and walking into Qinglonghoushan, the scenery gradually became a little different from the Qianshan side. The mountain path gets narrower and narrower, the rugged winding is overgrown with weeds, and the forests are more and more empty. Looking at the green mountains, you can no longer see the shadows and hear the voices.
Old trees and ancient vines can be seen everywhere, most of which are larger and longer than the front mountain. The ruins left by the old palaces and pavilions are also seen less here. They are either covered by dense forests or hidden behind deeper mountains. .
A few weird roars of beasts floated from the depths of the distant mountains, and I don't know where in which corner a monster beast roared at the sky. The white fox was a little nervous, and leaned closer to Shen Shi for a few minutes, and kept looking around at the novel, as if he felt that the place was full of danger.
Shen Shi walked forward with the shaved fox, his eyes discerning the direction among the mountains, his expression still calm. The last time he came out of the Demon Clan’s Underground Palace, he met Liu Yue and others from the Heavenly Sword Palace when he descended the mountain. The path he walked was not the same, but he still roughly recorded the terrain in his mind that day. Although the Qinglong Mountain Range is large, But the general environment still couldn't change much, so after walking for a while, he roughly determined the position, and then walked in that direction.
Before I knew it, the mountain road under my feet was gone, and there was a mountain field in front of me, not a forest, but a thorn bush that was overgrown with weeds. After not going far, the white fox complained a bit, and his body was scraped by various weeds and thorn bushes It's white and red. In fact, it stands to reason that a wild beast should be like a fish in this mountain forest. But who made it a fox in the northern snowy field? It is rare to find a decent tree in that place, not to mention such dense woods. Up.
Shen Shi glanced at it, shook his head, leaned over and hugged the bald fox, after a moment of hesitation, he directly took out the Qingxue Sword, and when the sword light flashed, he flew into the air. Flying in the air is naturally much more comfortable than walking on the ground, but this bald fox looks very sick and has little courage. It has been walking on the ground and has been screaming and complaining. It flew in the air and looked and frightened. After half-dead, he subconsciously grasped Shen Shi's body, didn't dare to look down at all, just screamed non-stop.
Shen Shi didn't care about it, saw the direction in midair, and galloped all the way, walking through the mountains and ridges, and it didn't take long for him to see the ruins of the garden where he was when he escaped from the Yaozu underground palace. In the middle of this, Shen Shi did feel that there were several malicious and fierce gazes on the ground below him, aiming at him. Flying in the air in a place where such monsters are everywhere is indeed very dangerous. Thing. But in the end, for some unknown reason, those dangerous auras didn't really turn into an attack on him.
Falling back to the ground, the ruins in front of him immediately evoked the memories of Shen Shi. A few months ago, he and Zhong Qinglu escaped from the Demon Clan’s underground palace together. Now that I think about it, there is a world away. feel.
He sighed slightly, his expression was a little depressed, but he quickly cheered up and walked into the depths of the ruins. Along the way, Shen Shi's gaze swept around from time to time. When he came out last time, a fierce monster ambushed him and Zhong Qinglu. It is almost impossible to have a completely safe place in the Qinglong Mountains. .
Sure enough, before taking a few steps, the white fox suddenly screamed and jumped back, and in the broken house in front of him, it slowly crawled out of a brown body almost the size of a water tank. The toad comes out. With the appearance of this huge toad, a fishy smell suddenly floated in the air. Looking at the pits on the back of the toad, a long scarlet tongue kept stretching in its mouth. It was obviously a poisonous and very toxic body. Don't deal with monsters.
Shen Shi looked up at the sky, and saw that it was noon at this moment, the sun was in the sky and the sun was very bright. The sky fell in this ruin, and the grim-faced monster toad beast was photographed very clearly, and even the sarcomas on its body were clearly visible.
Shen Shi frowned, his eyes were a little more cautious. Toad, even if it was cultivated as a monster, but in nature it still likes yin, loves wetness, hates light and dry heat, and at this moment, on a piece of land nearby, There is no wet water, this toad appears here, somewhat unusual.
"Qua...quack..."
The toad on the opposite side stared at Shen Shi with two eyes on both sides of the brain seeds, with undisguised hostility in his eyes, and his voice was dull and thunderous, as if he was demonstrating.
Shen Shi suddenly raised his brows and didn't immediately start his hands. Instead, he stared at the toad for a while, and instead stepped back a few steps. Seeing Shen Shi retreating, the white fox naturally followed him back for some distance.
The toad stared with two big eyes, watching Shen Shi step back, and yelled twice again, but this time, the voice was a little lower, as if he was somewhat satisfied with Shen Shi's actions.
Shen Shi's eyes flashed a bit of thinking, as if thinking of something, but it seemed that he had no intention of deliberately provoking the toad lying on the ground outside that ruined house, and taking the white fox around in a circle. Walked away.
Toad watched Shen Shi walk away, the vigilant color in his eyes slowly disappeared, and then carefully looked around, after confirming that there was no danger nearby, he turned around and slowly returned to the half-collapsed building. In the house.
The ruined house was supposed to be a very beautiful small building, but now that it has been battered by wind and rain for many years, it has long been dilapidated inside, and the surrounding walls have collapsed on one side. But generally speaking, the frame of this building is still there, and it can barely block the light from the sky, making the ruined house look very dark.
But just in this dim light, in a corner of this broken house, there is a small light ball, the whole body is like a soft blister floating in the air, a little bit of light flashes in the blisters, like silver Xinghui gently undulates in the deepest night sky, looking extremely beautiful.
The big toad crawled back, did not look at other places, walked straight back to the small silver side where one percent of its body could not be seen, first stretched out his head and sniffed lightly, not knowing what it was. The breath made it suddenly show an intoxicating color, and then contentedly lay down beside this silver star-like crystal clear light group, like a guard, before long, his big eyes slowly closed. Up.
And in the distance outside the house, Shen Shi took the white fox around in a circle and walked to a dilapidated pavilion in front of him. After looking tens of meters away from the dilapidated house, he suddenly stopped, and then turned back to Take a look at the broken house.
After a while, he suddenly called out and said:
"fox."
"YoYo?"
Shen Shi lowered his head and glanced at it with a smile on his face. For some reason, the white fox suddenly became a little nervous and shrank. After a while, Shen Shi looked at him and said: "We two came along this way, and you said you always eat for nothing, you must be embarrassed? Well, if you don't speak, you feel the same way. Now. Now there is something that you need to do."
(It’s the last day of December.)
