"But even if that's the case, where are we going to find it?" It's always easier to say than to act. No matter what anyone thinks of this matter, it is unreliable, and the most important reason is that no one will choose to give their lives for him at this time, but if it is a body that has been dead for a long time, it can only be regarded as a corpse, and it will not be valuable. And if it is an animal, if you want to drive away the soul in the original body, and leave the body as a container to hold the new soul, then the difficulty factor is even greater, because if you want to achieve the above conditions, then the animal will definitely be injured, as for plants, because the characteristics of life are difficult to grasp, basically the first moment has been eliminated.

"So, we're going to find the legendary creature that lives in the barren land, the bamboo cat." The little fox had already helped them take these concerns into account, so they had the next bold idea: "This bamboo cat lives in the bamboo forest and makes a cat meow every hour, hence its name." But in fact it is a combination of plants and animals, similar to Cordyceps. ”

Bao Yueyue has never heard of a monster like a bamboo cat. However, if it can turn the tide of events, then it is worth their try.

"If you have it, you can help Lin Xiaocheng, right?" Bao Yueyue looked at the little fox with expectant eyes, but he couldn't give a positive answer, "Maybe." ”

Hearing this, Bao Yueyue felt that she had been hit, "It's just possible?!" That means that even if you find the bamboo cat, you may not be able to help him. ”

The little fox had to admit this, "That's true, first, because no one knows where this bamboo cat is, second, it dies when it is unearthed, so it can't be transplanted, and third, when transferring Lin Xiaocheng's soul, it is likely to cause the death of the bamboo cat." All in all, although this bamboo cat can accommodate two souls at the same time, it is also the most likely choice to fail. ”

"But we can't afford to fail, we only have one chance. If you succeed, you will stand, and if you fail, you will be wasted, and there is no other way. Bao Yueyue glanced at Lin Xiaocheng and then at the little fox, "Do we really have no other choice?" ”

"Yes, only this one is the most dangerous but also the most hopeful. Because in this world, there is no alternative method other than bamboo cats for the time being. ”

So, Bao Yueyue could only nod her head to accept the status quo and set off to find the bamboo cat. However, most of the results of aimless search can only be half the effort, and nothing can be found.

Bao Yueyue couldn't wait to let herself go into the ground and turn over all the soil around her.

"Sister, bamboo cats can make cat meows, but the sound is very weak, so it is often easy to be ignored by people, but it is an excellent self-protection for many animals with a keen sense of hearing." This set of rhetoric is all seen by the little fox from the records of bamboo slips, but when it comes to the actual operation, it can only be regarded as talk on paper.

Bao Yueyue was taken by the little fox to the place recorded on the scroll, and the bamboo forest here cannot be compared with the artificially cultivated nature in the spirit hall, because many of them have died due to the climate.

"Although the bamboo cat resembles ordinary bamboo, it can tolerate extreme weather changes, so it is possible to exist even in the desert where there is no water. It's just that more of them will appear in the bamboo forest. And this is the largest bamboo forest in the area, so the chance of finding a bamboo cat is also the greatest. The little fox kept stroking Bao Yueyue's back to give her some comfort. Because after all, it is not yet a dead end, and there is still a lot of hope.

And Bao Yueyue is extraordinarily quiet, which is completely different from the way she chatters everywhere she goes on weekdays, which is enough to see how much she wants to save Lin Xiaocheng but has no power to return to the sky, so she behaves so defeated.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also a more important point that Bao Yueyue is almost the only one among them who has a magical skill, and it is this seemingly hopeful ability that makes her burden even heavier. Although the little fox doesn't understand human feelings, he can feel it.

He pointed to the bamboo forest in front of him, "The good thing is that most of the bamboos here have died, so it can save a lot of time to investigate, after all, time is money!" The little fox didn't quite understand why humans always regarded those copper-smelling metals as baby bumps, and there were many common sayings. But I couldn't think of any other adjectives for a while, so I followed suit.

Unfortunately, things were not as easy as they expected. Because most of the time, Bao Yueyue only found that the remaining young seedlings were only because they were short and not exposed to excessive direct sunlight because they were short, so they were lucky enough to escape death. But they survived, and they were fighting again and again. Because there is no difference between bamboo cats and ordinary bamboo from the outside. It's even harder to rely on their meows to determine their direction. Because this ability to imitate animal sounds is just a protective color, it is difficult for humans to locate the exact coordinates, and there is still an hour interval in between, if you stop and wait for the opportunity, it is better to use the current way of finding a needle in a haystack to check one by one.

However, Noji Tailai is not just talking, although the luck of the monthly subscription has never been very good, and the highest value of the few lottery tickets drawn is only two handmade soaps. But this time her luck was not bad, just when she was not making progress in the investigation, and the entire bamboo forest was only less than a third of the way closer, a cat meow came from not far away.

Where can Bao Yueyue be calm, and she didn't listen to the little fox's reminder, so she hurriedly rushed in the direction of the voice. Although the sound lasted for a short time, the volume was indeed loud enough, which can also indirectly indicate that the bamboo cat did not run away in this bamboo forest, and the straight-line distance from her would not exceed fifty meters.

But she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Bao Yueyue only took a few steps before she suddenly found that the soil on the soles of her feet was loosening, and when she subconsciously raised her feet, something suddenly jumped out of it, and then ran away.

"Little fox, why didn't you say that this bamboo cat would run away just now." Although Bao Yueyue was stunned, in that brief moment, she still saw clearly that the guy who broke the ground and fled into the distance looked like a piece of bamboo, and it was determined that it was a bamboo cat.

In order to be able to catch up with the bamboo cat as quickly as possible, the little fox regained its original form and turned into a red fox chasing forward. He didn't forget to turn around and answer Bao Yueyue's question, "Sister, I told you just now, this bamboo cat is a creature between plants and animals, although most of the time it will be rooted in the soil in the form of plants, but it will run away when it is dangerous." After saying that, he accelerated forward and chased after him, intending to block the bamboo cat's path from the front.

Although this bamboo cat is a magical animal, it has not been able to cultivate to the point of gaining human intelligence, so when it escapes, it is rampant, and it does not know how to climb over obstacles, so it only knows how to flash left and right. So the little fox found it very easily. And the speed gradually surpassed it, waiting for it to throw itself into the net right in front.

But the size of this bamboo cat is too small, and the little fox can't catch it at all. Although it can block its path, it cannot hold it in one place. So, as if they were playing hide-and-seek, the two of them were in a stalemate. And Bao Yueyue, because of the lack of exercise at home all day, can't run at all now, and is still at least 500 meters away from here leaning against a tree panting.

"What are you doing?" At this time, Ling Bing, who was wandering in the forest, suddenly broke into the scene where the little fox and the bamboo cat were fighting wits and courage.
