"Damn it...... Old man...... There was no ...... Tell me...... After coming out of the valley, you have to ...... Crossing such a ...... Horror ...... Forest ......" a teenager sat by a stone at the edge of the forest, cursing in a weak voice.

The boy was covered in blood, and his clothes were in tatters, apparently torn by the claws of the beast. Several horrific scars on the limbs were constantly gushing blood. Due to excessive blood loss, the boy's face was as white as paper. But the hair on his head, which was not long, stood upright, trying to show the vitality of the youth.

I tried to sit up straight, and I didn't know where to pull out a bunch of herbs. Staring at the herbs he had taken out, a wry smile appeared on the young man's pale face.

"I knew it earlier...... It should be with the second master...... Many...... Xuexue ...... Pharmacological...... Yes!" With that, the boy took out another thick book and flipped through it with difficulty.

Just as the boy was concentrating on comparing the herbs in front of him against the books, a small snow-white head poked out of the bushes not far away. I don't know if the boy was too serious about the herbs, or because he was too injured to pay attention to the situation around him, he didn't notice any movement in the bushes.

The little snow-white head poked out of the bushes for a while, and then retracted, for fear of being discovered by the young man covered in blood. After observing for a while, the boy was still doing what he was doing seriously, and his little snow-white head was bold, and he slowly moved towards the boy along the bushes.

The young man, who was concentrating on comparing herbs, suddenly put down the book in his hand. With an excited face, he picked up a crimson herb, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then fell asleep.

The boy's sudden action frightened the little snow-white head into the bushes. It was a long time before the little head poked out of the bushes again. After confirming that the boy had indeed fallen asleep, the little head with a snow-white figure came out of the bushes and walked cautiously towards the boy.

It turned out that this snow-white little head belonged to a white and flawless little fox. Its whole body is as white as snow, and no matter how you look at it, you can't find a trace of variegation. With a body the size of a pug, he tiptoed close to the boy, for fear of making a noise and waking up the sleepy boy.

When he came to the boy's side, the little fox did not disturb him. Instead, with its big sparkling eyes, it carefully looked at the herbs in front of the boy. Looking at the pile of herbs in front of him, the little fox scratched his ears with his paws, as if thinking about something. After a few moments, it deftly grabbed a few herbs with its front paws, put them in its mouth and chewed them gently.

The little fox, chewing herbs, with a look of vigilance, turned his body and gently touched the boy with his paw. Seeing that the young man didn't react at all, he let go of the vigilance on his face. He spit out the herbs that had turned into mud in his mouth on his front paws, and then gently applied the mud to the boy's wound.

The medicinal mud mixed with the little fox's saliva slowly began to exert its medicinal power, and a heart-piercing pain came out of the wound, constantly stimulating the cerebral cortex of the teenager, causing a trace of lucidity in the brains of the sleeping teenager. He lifted his eyelids weakly and saw a little white fox rubbing himself with medicine.

In a trance, the boy felt that he was hallucinating because he was too injured, or he was dreaming. A fox is healing itself, which has broken the perception of the teenager. As soon as he thought of dreaming, a wave of sleepiness suddenly swept over his brain, and the boy immediately fell asleep.

After some busyness, the little fox finally smeared the boy's wound with medicinal mud. Humane wiped his forehead with his paws stained with medicinal mud, and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

Its efforts were not in vain, and by this time the wounds on the boy's body were no longer bleeding, his face was gradually regaining its bloody color, and his brows, which were furrowed from the pain, were also relaxed. The boy now looks like a sleeping child.

The little fox saw that the young man's face had improved, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he jumped in front of the book that the boy had dropped before he fell asleep, cleaned the medicine mud from his paws, and began to look through the book seriously.

The tingling sensation from the wound woke up the sleeping boy. Because he was afraid that his injuries would worsen, the boy just opened his eyes and checked his injuries first. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the wounds on his body were no longer bleeding and were coated with medicinal mud.

The boy stared at the clay on the wound, and the image of a fox healing himself came to mind. Hurriedly rolled his eyes and began to look for the fox in the "dream". Sure enough, on his side, he found a snow-white figure.

As his eyes focused on the small, snow-white figure, the little thing was looking intently at the book he had dropped on the ground. The boy tried to move his arm, and when he found that he could move freely, he grabbed the white figure with lightning speed.

"It turned out to be a little fox...... "The young man smiled when he saw the figure caught in his hand.

The little fox who was caught by the boy struggled desperately, and his face was full of panic.

"Be quiet, little one...... I'm not going to hurt you. Looking at the little fox with both hands and struggling, the boy spoke comfortingly, trying to calm it down.

The little fox seemed to understand his words, and gradually regained his composure, but the wariness on the little face did not diminish at all.

Seeing that the little fox was quiet, the young man loosened the strength of his hand to make it more comfortable, and then said softly, "Did you apply the medicine on my wound?"

The little fox looked into his eyes, but found no malice, so he nodded lightly.

"Do you know the pharmacology of these herbs?" saw the little fox nod, and the young man's eyes flashed with curiosity. A fox knows pharmacology and knows how to heal injuries, and if this matter is said, no one will believe it.

In the young man's expectant eyes, the little fox nodded again, and then shook it twice.

The little fox nodded and shook his head, making the boy a little confused. The boy put it on the ground, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "You mean to say that you don't know all these herbs, do you?"

The little fox nodded, quickly jumped into the distance, and turned to leave. But he kept looking back at the books on the ground, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Hehe......" The young man couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at the little fox's cute appearance.

He bent down hard and picked up the book beside him, threw it at the little fox, and said with a smile, "Since you like it, this book will be given to you, and it should be regarded as a reward for saving your life." ”

When the little fox saw that the boy had thrown the book over, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch the book and hugged it into his arms. After receiving the book, it did not leave, staring curiously at the young man in front of it.

After looking at it for a long time, the little fox seemed to have made some decision, took the book in his mouth and ran back to the boy's side, and put the book back on the boy's lap.

Although the boy was puzzled by the little fox's behavior, he couldn't help but reach out and touch its cute little head when he saw its cute appearance.

Just as his hand was about to reach the top of its head, the little fox bit down on his hand, leaving two bright red blood lines along his fingers.

The boy looked at his bleeding finger and wanted to pull it out, when he suddenly felt a strange force in the little fox's body burrowing into his arm along the wound on his finger. The force didn't stop until it reached the position of his upper arm, and the boy's gaze focused on his upper arm.

I saw an emerald green fox pattern, which appeared on the boy's right upper arm. The boy was looking at the pattern on his arm in a daze, when a sweet voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Master, after careful consideration, Mei'er decided to recognize you as the master, hoping that the master can treat Mei'er well. The voice was sweet, but there was a hint of timidity. The little fox Mei'er took a big risk in making this decision, if the young man in front of him was a scheming person, then his future life would be unspeakable.

"Mer...... It's a nice name. Why do you want to recognize me as the master?As far as I know, very few demon beasts take the initiative to sign a contract with people, and the mark on my arm is your contract mark, right?" The young man carefully examined his body, and he found that there was nothing unusual except for the mark, so he was relieved.

It's not that he thinks too much, the master once taught that there are so many powerful creatures in this world, and many of them like to treat people as slaves. Although the little fox in front of him is weak, he actually knows how to read, which shows that his intelligence is extraordinary, and the young man has to take precautions.

"Rest assured, host. The mark on your arm is a contract mark unique to the fox clan, and it is entirely composed of a part of my soul and the power of the demon source. With the presence of this mark, Mei'er can't have any thoughts of harming her master. Seeing that the boy was suspicious of the mark on his arm, Mei'er told him about the contract she used.

Seeing that the expression on the young man's face softened slightly, he continued, "Mei'er is really selfish in doing this......" As soon as the little fox said that he was selfish, the young man's face changed slightly, but he did not interrupt it.

"Mer did this because she wanted her master to teach me human writing. I can't read a word of this book you gave me except for the pictures on it......"

Hearing this, the young man's mind appeared in the little fox's ashamed mental fluctuations. After just a few words of spiritual exchange, he could basically confirm that this cute little fox had no malicious intent. As Mei'er said, it may have really signed a contract with itself because it wanted to study the book.

"Mei'er, although I, Hu Lin, am not a righteous gentleman, I don't like to do things that enslave others. Besides, you're my savior. In my opinion, you might as well terminate this bullshit contract. The young man said what he said from his heart, since he already knew that the little fox had no malicious intentions, not to mention that it was still his own savior, he really didn't want this cute little fox to have any restraints.

"The host...... I'm afraid this contract can't be broken...... Just now, Mei'er was too nervous and accidentally injected her natal soul source into the contract. Unless Mei'er's soul is gone, this contract cannot be dissolved......" After saying this, the little fox seemed to have done something wrong, and lowered his snow-white little head in shame.

"Uh~" Hu Lin suddenly felt speechless. At first, the contract was signed in a daze, but I didn't expect that because of the little fox's nervousness, it was still a contract that could not be dissolved.

adjusted his mood slightly, and said softly to Mei'er, "Since this is the case, we will have to rely on each other in the future." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hulin and I am seventeen years old. I just came out of the Demon Suppression Valley, and I'm ready to go to the world and let the whole world know my name Hu Lin!" After saying that, Hu Lin put on a cool pose, his face was full of pride, and he looked like he was standing on top of the world.

"Ah?...... Demon Valley ?!......"
