The sword spirit stared at Zhang Tao's eyes.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Zhang Tao said inexplicably.

"Damn it!" scolded.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Zhang Tao asked.

"You'd better see for yourself. ”

Zhang Tao guessed from the expression of the sword spirit that there must be something wrong with his eyes, but he didn't feel it at all.

Zhang Tao found a small stream.

The stream flows slowly from the depths of the woods, and because spring has just begun, there is not a lot of water in the stream, and if you stand in it, you can only reach the knee level.

The creek was surrounded by young grass that had just sprouted, and several unknown birds were looking for water by the stream, and Zhang Tao's arrival frightened them, and they spread their wings and flew away.

Zhang Tao came to the front of the creek and looked down into the water.

"What!" Seeing his reflection in the water, Zhang Tao exclaimed, then squatted down in disbelief and looked into the water again to confirm whether he had seen it wrong just now.

But......

That's right, there is indeed something wrong with my eyes.

I saw that in the reflection of Zhang Tao in the water, his eyes were scarlet, shining with wisps of red light in the reflection of the stream. And the pupil turned into a vertical pupil, and it was so thin that if you didn't look closely, you would think that the pupil didn't exist.

Not only that, but there are also traces of blood in the whites of the eyes around the pupils, and the blood lines form a pattern, which is clearly a miniature version of the appearance of a wind-chasing fox, and Zhang Tao's pupils are located in the abdomen of the wind-chasing fox in this pattern.

Vertical pupils are only found by wild beasts, how can his eyes become vertical pupils.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Tao asked the sword spirit floating in the air.

The sword spirit descended slowly.

"You're poisoned. ”

"The poison on the tail of the wind chasing fox?"

"Yes. ”

"That's going to be easy. Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it is said that the poison on the tail of the wind chasing fox is difficult to detoxify, I believe that with your ability, it should be easy to detoxify." ”

Sword Spirit once said that the poison on the tail of the Wind Chasing Fox was very troublesome, and he didn't say that it couldn't be solved, that is, he had a way to detoxify.

"The poison on the tail of the Wind Chasing Fox is indeed very troublesome, but it is not very difficult to remove it, ...... when it is critical" The sword spirit was silent.

"What's the point, tell me quickly. Zhang Tao asked.

Sword Spirit hesitated, "The point is, you are not only poisoned by the tail of the Wind Chasing Fox, but also ......"

"What's more, you hurry up and say, why is it so procrastinating. With the sword spirit like this, Zhang Tao keenly felt that something must have gone wrong.

"And the Wind Chasing Fox Mark!"

"Wind Chasing Fox Print, what is that?"

The Sword Spirit didn't answer him directly, but stood up and said, "Look at your forehead again." ”

"Forehead?" Zhang Tao focused all his attention on his eyes just now, and he didn't pay attention to his forehead at all.

Now he looked at his own reflection in the water again, and his gaze fell on his forehead in the reflection.

"What!" Zhang Tao exclaimed, and there was a scarlet eye on his forehead.

"No, it's not real eyes. Zhang Tao calmed down for a while, and after a closer look, he found that it was not a real eye, but just an imprint that looked like an eye.

"What is this?" asked Zhang Tao, pointing to the mark on his forehead.

"This is the Wind Chasing Fox Mark. The Sword Spirit replied.

"Isn't this thing very harmful. Zhang Tao asked solemnly.

The sword spirit nodded, "Compared to the Wind Chasing Fox Seal, the poison on the Wind Chasing Fox's tail is simply a small thing. ”

"What is the specific danger to me?" The sword spirit was so solemn, indicating that the Wind Chasing Fox Mark must have an impact on him, and Zhang Tao wanted to know the specific situation of the Wind Chasing Fox Seal.

"Look and see if the mark on your forehead is closed now. ”

Zhang Tao glanced at it, and the imprint in the shape of that eye was indeed closed.

"Yes. ”

"The Wind Chasing Fox Seal is a curse, it does not have a direct effect on your body like the Wind Chasing Fox Tail Poison, this curse will increase as your cultivation improves. ”

"Every time you move up the ranks, its influence increases a little bit, that eye opens a little bit, and when that eye is fully open, your life comes to an end. No matter how strong your cultivation is, there is no way to stop it. ”

Zhang Tao's eyes suddenly widened.

"What, doesn't that mean that I won't be able to cultivate in the future, and the faster I cultivate, the closer I will be to death. ”

"Then how can this curse be lifted? ”

The Sword Spirit shook his head, "Almost impossible!"

"Why?" Zhang Tao asked anxiously.

If the Wind Chasing Fox Seal is not lifted, he will not be able to cultivate, and he will not be able to deal with the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

Dealing with the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion was a very important thing for him.

"It's not impossible to lift the curse. It's just that this solution is almost equal to nothing. ”

"What's the solution?" Zhang Tao asked.

The sword spirit pondered for a while and said, "Before I talk about this method, I have to tell you about the origin of the Wind Chasing Fox Seal. ”

Zhang Tao nodded.

"The Wind Chasing Fox is a descendant of a top-tier tenth-order desolate beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox. ”

"As I told you before, if you keep practicing, you will reach the realm of the nine-tails, at this time it is only a ninth-order desolate beast, and if you want to advance to the tenth order, you need his tail to turn red, at this time, the wind-chasing fox is no longer a wind-chasing fox, but a nine-tailed fox. ”

"The Nine-Tailed Fox clan has an ability, that is, to abandon their own cultivation and curse others. ”

"The curse of the nine-tailed fox is quite terrifying, and the cursed people, in addition to themselves, will carry this curse in their future generations. ”

"As a descendant of the nine-tailed fox, the Wind Chasing Fox has inherited this curse, which is the Wind Chasing Fox Seal. However, its curse is not that strong, and only affects the person who is cursed. ”

"The Wind Chasing Fox has cursed you, and the price it has to pay is that it will never be able to advance, and it can only maintain the state of a fourth-order desolate beast. ”

The sword spirit explained the origin of the Wind Chasing Fox Seal, and then he continued, "If you want to remove the Wind Chasing Fox Seal, there is only one way, find a nine-tailed fox, and only the Nine-Tailed Fox can remove the Wind Chasing Fox Seal. ”

"And if the curse is lifted. The nine-tailed fox also has to pay a price. ”

"At what cost?" Zhang Tao asked.

"Broken tail!"

"What, broken tail!" Zhang Tao was taken aback.

"Like the Wind Chasing Fox, if the Nine-Tailed Fox breaks its tail, the rank will also fall, and you know the importance of a tail to the Nine-Tailed Fox. ”

Zhang Tao suddenly wilted like a deflated ball.

"I believe you also know that it is unknown whether there are top-level desolate beasts on the continent now, let alone a tenth-order nine-tailed fox. ”

"Even if it has the existence of a tenth-order nine-tailed fox, it will not be able to remove the wind chasing fox mark for you. ”

Of course, Zhang Tao understood that desolate beasts and humans were old enemies, how could a tenth-order desolate beast exchange a tail for a human life.

Like Sword Spirit said, it's almost impossible.

"It's all my fault, I didn't notice that the tail of the Wind Chasing Fox was broken, so it became what it is now. Sword Spirit said in annoyance.

Zhang Tao waved his hand weakly, "I can't blame you, it's also that I underestimate the enemy, plus I don't understand the enemy, which will cause such consequences." ”

"But......" Sword Spirit wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Tao, "I want to be quiet." ”

Zhang Tao sat by the stream like this, looking at the swimming fish in the water in a daze.

The sword spirit silently stayed by his side.

After chasing the wind and fox print, Zhang Tao's cultivation path can be described as dark.

Originally, according to his cultivation speed and his Five Elements Balanced Physique, as long as he had enough time, he would definitely stand at the top of the continent.

However, now the existence of the Wind Chasing Fox Mark has blocked his way forward.

If you are caught in the Wind Chasing Fox Mark, the faster you practice, the closer you are to death.

"Is it that as long as I don't practice, the Wind Chasing Fox Mark won't attack. Zhang Tao asked suddenly.

The sword spirit replied in disbelief, "It's useless, even if you don't practice all the time, keep your current cultivation, and you will have the same attack as the Wind Chasing Fox Seal." ”

Sword Spirit's words were even worse.

If you don't practice, you will have the same attack as the wind chasing fox prints.

If you don't practice, you will have the same attack as the wind chasing fox prints.

The words of the sword spirit sounded in Zhang Tao's mind again and again.

"In other words, I'm already dead!" Zhang Tao said.

Sword Spirit nodded.
