One person and one fox left Guangyuan Mountain like this, without any luggage, saying that they were almost useless when they arrived in the city. Just took the brush that the crane gave him, and the two set off down the mountain.

"How do you use this brush?" Shi Shen played with the treasure in his hand, and he didn't even know how to hold the pen for a long time.

The Nine-Tails kept walking and didn't speak.

There is a place in Mt. Guangyuan, and the environment inside there is as beautiful as the mountain, but the environment outside is probably not so impressive.

The so-called climbing over mountains and mountains means crossing several mountains and crossing several mountains to reach the destination. Guangyuan Mountain is not far from Baiwu City, but it is separated by a blood-red mountain, Shi Shen passed by here when he went down the mountain to do a task before, and was a little curious about the color of this mountain, so he inquired about the surrounding farmers, and only then did he know the name of this mountain, called "Serum Ridge".

And the so-called "peripheral" peasants are also ordinary people who live on farmland ten miles away. In this Serum Ridge radius of dozens of miles, deserted, uninhabited.

After walking for about ten miles out of the boundary of Guangyuan Mountain, the two of them came to this blood-red and strange place.

"What is this?" the two of them stood at the foot of the Serum Ridge, and the Nine-Tails looked at the blood-red soil all over the mountain in surprise, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch a little.

The soil of Serum Ridge is sparse and soft, and the whole mountain is like a swamp that sinks when you step on it. Like a bald old man, the whole mountain is bare, only somewhere on the top of the mountain, there is a withered bamboo forest, in this grassless realm, it looks a little unsociable.

The entire mountain is covered in an unknown red mist. If the blood evaporates and there is a color, it is probably the color of this red mist. Patches of smog linger in the mountains, adding a hazy halo to the whole mountain. Occasionally, a gust of wind whistled and blew, carrying the foul smell of blood, giving people a sense of depression walking on a pool of blood.

Nine-Tails looked at the "Fierce Ridge" in front of him and asked Shi Shen beside him, "Do we challenge it or bypass it?"

"Do you think this is a natural phenomenon?" Shi Shen asked rhetorically.

It shook its head, but did not answer.

He looked at the mountain, calculating its footprint and the time it would take to get around it.

The area of Serum Ridge is huge, but the height is not towering, if you choose to go around, there is still a long way to go over the mountain. If you do this, you may not be able to reach the Xu Group before this afternoon.

Shi Shen crouched down and reached out to poke the soil at the foot of the mountain in front of him. His brows furrowed slightly, and after standing up and contemplating for a moment, he still shook his head: "If you choose to go around, you may not be able to catch up with the time." ”

"Then let's go straight over?" Nine-Tails touched the blood-red soil, and when he pulled out his hand, he touched the red mud in his hand, which was sticky in his hand, and it felt like sticky blood mud.

Shi Shen nodded, bent down to pick up the Nine-Tails cross-waisted, and held it firmly in his arms with both hands.

"Eh, what are you doing?"

The Nine-Tails was held in the air and struggled to kick his legs a few times, but he was still firmly held in his arms.

"Don't move. He said.

His left pupil is blood-colored, and among the techniques he cultivates is the blood lotus. So this level of Blood Ridge can't do anything to him. But the Nine-Tails are different, its primordial spirit has not been completely repaired until now, and its skills can't even become humanoid. It's a bit dangerous to hike over the mountains.

"Oh. Nine-Tails obediently lay in his arms, leaning his head against his chest.

His arms were warm, and the heat in his chest reached him without gaps. It smiled stupidly, and its head rubbed against his chest, hehe, so comfortable.

"Hehe, little colored fox. Shi Shen watched it eat its own tofu, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a playful smile.

Nine-Tails continued to rub against him, ignoring him.

Shi Ember smiled, stopped talking, and went straight up the mountain with it in his arms.

But when he walked up the mountain, he found that the soil of Serum Ridge was not naturally soft, probably soaked in some viscous liquid, and only then splashed on it as if he was stepping on a rainy country road. The soil on the mountain will sink slowly, but not as seriously as a swamp.

There is no vegetation on the mountain, not even a trace of greenery. The bamboo forest, including the side of the mountaintop, is also a withered yellow from branches to leaves. There were many embers when the leaves withered, and it was the first time he had seen such a withered yellow bamboo trunk.

"Is that bamboo forest an unknown species of bamboo?" Shi Shen asked.

He only lived for twenty years, and every minute except for going out to the mountain to do tasks was spent on the Guangyuan Mountain, and it was normal for him to be short-sighted. But the Nine-Tails have lived for more than a thousand years, and they have naturally seen a lot of the world.

No wonder he always thought that there was something strange about that bamboo forest, in this soft serum ridge, all that could take root were plants with survivability above the king level, not to mention that it was still withered and yellowed like that. If it weren't for this bamboo forest standing there, Shi Ember would probably have suspected that this mountain was made of blood and mud.

Nine-tails looked at the bamboo forest in the distance for a long time, and finally shook his head, saying that he had never seen it. It has seen a lot of things in its life, but it is also the first time it has seen such a strange bamboo.

"It's strange," a hint of surprise flashed across its face, "next to the Guangyuan Fairyland, there is actually such a dark place. ”

Shi Ember let out an "um" and continued to walk forward. The soil is very sticky, and when you take one step, your shoes will stick to the bloody mud, and after a few more steps, his leg sleeves will start to become a little heavy. For the next part of the road, Shi Shen walked more and more hard, and after walking for more than half an hour, they slowly reached the halfway point of the mountain.

"It stinks. Nine-Tails covered his nose and grumbled. I don't know which of the lacking goods threw the unwanted garbage here, and they didn't clean it up in time, so that now the whole mountain is filled with a disgusting fishy smell.

"Does it stink?" asked Shi Shen as if he hadn't smelled it.

"It stinks! it stinks to death!" Nine-Tails was still grumbling, not noticing the slightly raised corners of Shi Ash's mouth.

Shi Yan's hand holding it tightened, deliberately slowed down, and said absentmindedly: "Actually, I can rush down the mountain with a quick step." ”

"Huh?" Nine-Tails jumped up excitedly when he heard that he could quickly escape from the broken ground where this bird didn't: "Then you should rush quickly!"

"But I'm not motivated. He smiled mischievously: "A weak man like me, it's not bad to hold you so far." Don't you see that I'm walking slower now?"

"Huh. ”

Nine-Tails poked his hard biceps with disdain and glared at him disdainfully.

"Well, I really can't walk anymore. Shi Ember laughed thiefly, laughing so hard that Nine-Tails felt furious.

It had an ominous premonition that this guy was going to tease it again. But now he is walking slower and slower, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that he will really stop.

In desperation, Nine-Tails could only compromise with him: "Then how can you be motivated?"

The corners of his mouth curled up with a beautiful arc, leaned into his ear, and said word by word: "If you call me husband, I can consider walking down the mountain quickly." ”

“！！！”

The nine-tails were startled, and a pair of foxy phoenix eyes widened the boss. Dare to love this is all a ploy planned by him, why can't he move and has no strength? It's obviously a routine. He did it on purpose!

It snorted coldly, turned its head unyieldingly, and pouted its little mouth. With a look of arrogance and a little princess, he snorted: "Don't do it!"

He smiled and shook his head, originally he wanted it to kiss him, but the air here stinks, and if you kiss here, it seems a little disgusting. That's why he begged for everything to make it call him husband. But if it doesn't even agree to that, hehe......

Shi Shen suddenly stopped, didn't take another half a step forward, and looked at it quietly, his good-looking eyes were full of playfulness. This formation, probably if it didn't scream, he might really not leave.

The big fox who was pouting was still in the tsundere, and suddenly felt that the man holding it was not moving, and quickly turned his head to look, hehe, he was playing really.

"You, you, you!" Nine-Tails was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, and "you" didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Shi Ember threw it a wink, without the slightest intention of raising his legs to walk.

The soil of Serum Ridge resembles a swamp, and Ember has been walking around so it is fine, but now that he has been standing still, his legs and feet have begun to slowly sink.

"Hey, you're going to get stuck if you don't leave. ”

"It's okay, my left pupil is blood, and I have practiced blood methods, and falling into this blood mud will only stain my clothes a little at most. But you...... Hey, do you want to think about it?"

"How could I agree to take such a ghost path!"

The implication is: how could I fall in love with such a scoundrel as you!

The Nine-Tails gritted its teeth and gurgled loudly, but if it stubbornly followed him now, I was afraid that even if it was not smoked to death by the stench of blood, it would be killed by the miasma of blood mist and mud.

"Do you want to call?" Shi Shen asked with a smile.

"Surname, you bastard!"

"Oh, thanks for the compliment. But do you really want to die rather than give in? ”

The blood mud slowly "swallowed" Shi Ember as if it was swallowing a living person. Shi Shen sank down quickly, and at this moment, his thighs and knees were already surrounded by blood and mud. From a distance, it looks like a cripple with a broken calf.

Seeing that his position was getting closer and closer to the blood mud, Nine-Tails was so anxious that he was about to cry. Hurriedly grabbed Shi Yan's neck and climbed up, and in a hurry, he grabbed a few bloody cuts in his chest.

"Wow Wow Wow~"

Shi Ash's body sank faster and faster, and the Nine-Tails completely succumbed.

"I'm losing, I'm not going to lose?" it watched in a panic as the flesh covered half of his leg and slowly passed over his knee. I was trembling with fear.

"Do you know you lost?" Shi Ember held it back in his arms, chuckled and said, "Aren't you calling it soon?"

After saying that, he kept increasing the strength on his arm, straining it to death, as if he was afraid that it would run away.

"Old ...... Old ...... Husband. ”

Nine-Tails was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he didn't have time to care about the so-called routine, and now he said whatever he wanted, even if he let it kiss him now, it would do it. It's good to be alive!

Of course, Shi Shen didn't have to let it kiss him, just smiled, raised his foot and kicked hard, and easily jumped out of the bloody mud. The cuffs of the calves were stained red, and there was some sticky blood mud.

The Nine-Tails, who was struggling desperately with his eyes closed, didn't know that he was out of danger, and was still climbing up vigorously. Although it is impossible to move at all.

"Alright. Shi Shen hugged it in his arms again, smoothed its white hair, and his red and dark eyes couldn't hide a smile.

Before the reborn Nine-Tails could recover from his trembling state of mind, he saw Shi Ash's side face smiling. Moreover, the way he stroked himself became more gentle than before, which made it a little uncomfortable.

"What did you just call me? I didn't hear clearly. Shi Shen showed a cheap smile, lifted its chin lightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "After all, the situation was urgent just now, and I didn't pay attention to save you." ”

"Huh. Nine-tails glared at him, he was embarrassed to say, deliberately put it in a predicament and said unashamedly that he was saving it, hehe. If it doesn't give him some color now, it will be worthy of the name of cunning of the fox clan!

It looked left and right at his chest, and after a moment, it locked on to his collarbone.

"Hiss~"

Keen to amuse it for fun, Ember continued to hurry with a smile on his face, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his collarbone, and Nine-Tails was firmly biting his sexy collarbone and refused to let go, drooling as he bit back. This scene is simply no one.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing!"

Shi Shen endured the pain and roared, and his fingers kept going in and out. In an instinctive reaction, when he felt a sharp pain, his fingers would immediately pierce the attacker's chest, but the person who attacked him was his most beloved fox, and he couldn't do anything at all, so he had to constantly control his desire to kill.

After biting for about half a minute, the Nine-Tails finally stopped, looked at him flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Husband, your collarbone is so good-looking, I couldn't hold back for a while, hehe." ”

"So you bite it?!" Shi Ember held his forehead, according to the routine, shouldn't the collarbone be licked if it looks good? It is obviously revenge, and it is expected that he will not dare to fight back! However, ......

"By the way, what did you just call me?"

"Hmph, nothing. Nine-Tails turned around arrogantly, "Don't say good things a second time." ”

"Oh, won't you say it a second time?" Shi Ember smiled wickedly, his lips opened and closed evenly and powerfully: "Then let's settle the score, you scratched my chest just now, and now you bite my collarbone, tell me about this account......"

"Husband!"

"Well, that's right. ”
