Chapter 283: Little Fox
Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Wu Zhongyuan looked at it again, what Jiang Nan said was not bad, that very small black shadow was indeed like a fox, and he was sniffing the extinguished rocket at this time.
While Wu Zhongyuan was staring into the distance, Jiang Nan said from the side, "The fox in the hall has red fur, it is not an ordinary fox. ”
"Red-haired fox?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's expression, Jiang Nan looked at him suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the southeast, "Earlier, I went to the fox clan to exchange food seeds, and I once met a red-haired fox from Goat Valley, and the Lingzhi grass that the little fox used to exchange for the qi tonifying pill seemed to be the kind that the second child had in his hand just now." ”
It may be that the conversation between the two alarmed the little fox in the temple, and after sniffing the rocket, the little fox carefully moved to the door, probed out, and looked out.
As soon as it appeared, Wu Zhongyuan saw its appearance clearly, "It's really it." ”
Jiang Nan looked at the little fox sideways, "The white bones here belong to different beasts, and no other beast is allowed to approach the temple, how can it be the only one?"
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer Jiang Nan's words, he was looking at the little fox at this time, the little fox was also looking at him, the little fox seemed to remember him, although there was doubt in his eyes, but there was no vigilance and hostility.
"Do you remember me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the little fox.
The little fox tilted his head.
Wu Zhongyuan squatted down and beckoned to him, "Come, come here." ”
The little fox tilted his head to the other side.
"Why isn't it so hostile to you?" Jiang Nan was puzzled.
"I saw that it was pitiful that day, and there was no qi tonifying pill on it, so I could only give it a piece of dried meat. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan beckoning, the little fox walked out of the temple, sat down on the stone steps in front of the temple, and looked at the two from a distance.
Jiang Nan reminded, "Since it lives here, it means that it is inextricably linked to this temple, and it is best not to let it get close to you." ”
"It's not aggressive," Wu Zhongyuan said, "it can't speak, I communicated with it in sign language in Goat Valley that day, we were very close at the time, and if it wanted to hurt me, it would have done it a long time ago." ”
Jiang Nan did not refute Wu Zhongyuan's statement, but said, "There are six statues on the north side of the hall, if nothing else, there should be six on the south side, if this is the place where the beast king is worshipped, then these twelve statues are the twelve beast warriors under the command of the beast king." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "The statue of the kobold warrior on the lower left side has facial features very similar to the giant hyena that attacked us before. ”
"I've noticed it too," Jiang Nan said.
While the two were talking, the little fox sitting in the doorway suddenly disappeared.
Although the two were talking, they kept looking at the little fox, and the little fox disappeared without warning, not running into the temple hall, but disappearing out of thin air.
Seeing the little fox disappear, Jiang Nan was vigilant, "Be careful, it has hidden its figure." ”
"It's not stealth," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It should be teleportation, I once saw it disappear without a trace when I was in Goat Valley." ”
Jiang Nan didn't answer, and walked a few feet north quickly, trying to observe whether there were six statues on the other side of the temple, but the stone door of the temple was only a little open on the south side, and the observation angle was limited, so he couldn't see the situation on the other side.
While Jiang Nan observed the situation in the temple, Wu Zhongyuan briefly told her about the situation of the little fox, including the little fox's attempt to exchange the worthless Lingzhi grass for a qi-tonifying pill with the same color as its coat, and when he met the little fox, the little fox had been exchanging for half a year in Goat Valley, but because the Lingzhi grass was not very expensive, no one exchanged it with it.
After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's speech, Jiang Nan nodded, and after a deep groan, he said to Wu Zhongyuan, "You wait for me here, don't go near the temple, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement, and Jiang Nanshi went east.
After Jiang Nan left, the little fox suddenly appeared beside him, holding two Ganoderma lucidum grasses in his mouth.
The Lingzhi grass it holds is still the kind it brought to Goat Valley before, it is very small, and its mouth is small, and it can only hold up to two at a time.
Wu Zhongyuan had communicated with it before, and knowing that it could understand simple human words, he asked with a smile, "Do you want to change to the red Qi Replenishing Pill?"
The little fox nodded, nodded and vanished, and reappeared a moment later, pulling back two more.
"I don't want this," Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the temple, "you live here?"
The little fox nodded.
"Have you been living here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The little fox may not have understood, and looked at him suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan took out a red qi replenishing pill from the cloth bag on his waist and handed it to it, "This is for you." ”
Seeing the elixir in Wu Zhongyuan's hand, the little fox was very happy, stood up and raised his hand, and thanked him.
At this moment, Jiang Nan's voice came from afar, "What are you doing? Don't give it pills!"
The little fox was originally about to take the elixir, but when he heard Jiang Nan shouting, he saw Jiang Nan rushing from the east, he was nervous and panicked, and disappeared.
A moment later, Jiang Nan arrived, holding a mountain hare that was still struggling in his hand.
"Its origin is unknown, it is friend or foe, and if you give it elixir, it is likely to be an enemy. Jiang Nan said.
"Probably not. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
Jiang Nan looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "It can move instantly, and there is also a place where the pill is hidden in the Southern Wilderness, why doesn't it steal it, but insists on being easy to change?"
"As you said, it's not fully sane. Jiang Nan said.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't argue with Jiang Nan, but looked at the mountain rabbit she caught, "You want to use it as a pathfinder?"
Jiang Nan nodded.
Wu Zhongyuan took a few steps back and raised his hand at Jiang Nan, who threw the mountain hare into the area where the white bones were piled up.
This rabbit was captured alive by Jiang Nan, and after landing, he was not injured, he got up with one bone, and ran south.
The two of them "watched" the mountain rabbit run away, turned to retract their gaze, looked at each other, and the mountain rabbit retreated with his whole body does not mean that there is no ambush in the area where the white bones are located, it can only show that it is not the mechanism formation that guards this broken temple, but a living thing with spiritual sense, or a dead thing, in short, it has spiritual sense, and can distinguish which ones should be killed and which ones can not be killed.
I don't know when, the little fox returned to the stone steps in front of the temple, when the two of them tested with the mountain hare, it was also curious to watch, and when the two of them retracted their gaze, it was still looking into the distance, until the rabbit disappeared, before turning its head to look at the two.
Wu Zhongyuan had been holding the pill in his hand, and when he saw the little fox looking this way, he pinched the pill and said, "Come here, here you are." ”
The little fox seemed to be a little afraid of Jiang Nan, shook his head, and did not approach.
Wu Zhongyuan took out a rice cake from his baggage, pressed the red qi-replenishing pill into it, and urged the aura to throw the rice cake towards the little fox.
He can shoot arrows out of a hundred zhang, but he can't throw the rice cake out of a hundred steps, and finally the rice cake fell into the grass, the little fox ran forward, found and ran back to the stone steps where he was squatting before, and when he reached the stone steps, the little fox put down the rice cake and turned his head to look at Wu Zhongyuan, then picked up the rice cake and ran into the temple behind him.
Although he was worried that Wu Zhongyuan's move would cause bad things to the enemy, Jiang Nan didn't say anything, he had already thrown it away, and it was useless to say it.
After waiting for a while, not seeing the little fox come out, Jiang Nan tilted his head to look at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "It's already dark, let's go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
The two returned to their original place, the old blind man was chatting with the second child, and there was a pile of dry branches and firewood in front of the two, which was undoubtedly picked up by the second child, but it was not lit without Wu Zhongyuan's permission.
At this time, it is actually not cold, but there are all kinds of mosquitoes in the mountains at night, and the bonfire can not only illuminate, but also repel insects.
Lighting a bonfire, Wu Zhongyuan told the old blind man about the situation of the temple and the little fox, and then asked for his opinion.
After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's speech, the old blind man did not answer immediately, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "It is rumored that not only Fuxi Nuwa has warrior assistants, but also the other five kings are accompanied by warriors of different numbers. And the five kings of the five realms sense the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, the nine palaces, the eight trigrams, the five elements, and the generals under their command also deal with this number. ”
The old blind man took a breath when he said this, and then said, "This temple should be the altar where the Kunlun orcs sacrificed to the beast king, and the statues on both sides must be the twelve beast generals who assisted the beast king. ”
After the old blind man finished speaking, Jiang Nan asked, "May I ask sir, what kind of beasts are the twelve beast generals?
The old blind man shook his head, "I don't know, even what I said before is just a rumor, and the legend of the flood is not true or false, so it is difficult to verify it." ”
"Sir, do you know where that red-haired fox came from?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I have heard of this fox, which every once in a while goes to Goat Valley, trying to exchange it for elixir," said the old blind man, "and it is very vigilant, and it never allows outsiders to come close, and when someone approaches, it will hide and run away." ”
"It didn't become invisible, it moved instantaneously and went somewhere else. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Teleportation?" the old blind man frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's a teleportation, it's not an illusion of stealth. Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
"As far as I know, there is no spell or anomaly that can move instantaneously, except for the Bears' instantaneousness. The old blind man said.
"The key is that its aura cultivation doesn't seem to be high, its divine sense is not very complete, and its mind is very simple. Wu Zhongyuan said that the Bear Clan's instantaneous thousands of miles require the caster to advance to the Great Cave, at least the Six Yang bloodline can be cast, and it can only teleport others, not himself.
The old blind man did not answer, and after a long silence he asked, "Have you ever touched it?"
"No," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and asked, "What did Mr. think?"
The old blind man did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, but asked again, "Does it have entities?"
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It can hold Lingzhi or rice cakes, if there is no entity, how can it do it?"
The old blind man thought for a moment, and said, "Before, it only appeared at night, but this time you saw it, and after sunset, and tomorrow you call it again, and if it can appear in the sun, I will know what it is." ”
"If it can come out during the day, what is it?" asked the second question, the question Wu Zhongyuan wanted to ask.
"The Beastmaster's Infant ......"
