Chapter 1 Man or Beast

Next Chapter

Dongchuan continent, Chiyan country.

Under the scorching sun, at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level in Shenmeng Mountain in Qingtong County, a girl in purple was climbing a rock to pick spiritual grass. The girl covered her face with a purple scarf, and her cheeks under the scarf were drenched in sweat and she had no time to wipe them. Her hands were covered with scars of the size of the thorn stones, but she was tireless, carefully plucking the spirit grass one by one and putting it into the space ring.

A fierce mountain wind blew, and the girl's scarf was scraped off, revealing a young face.

This one was originally beautiful and vulgar, but unfortunately the right cheek was scratched by the claws of some kind of demon beast, and a deep scar was scratched from the corner of the eye to the side of the mouth, and its appearance was very terrifying. The girl was ashamed of herself, and she usually covered her disfigured face with a scarf.

Her name is Tang Zixi, she is just eighteen years old this year, and she was born in the Tang family in Qingtong County.

The Tang family is a big family in decline, and she is the 3,000 gold of the Tang family. Originally, with her background, she could be pampered, but the Tang family's business has plummeted recently, and she is in debt, so her life is very poor, and the family can't even afford to hire servants.

Tang Zixi had clumsy qualifications since he was a child, and he knew that his chances in martial arts were hopeless, so he focused on studying spiritual grass, reading books, knowing all kinds of herbs, stepping into the mountains, and aspiring to be an alchemist.

Shenmeng Mountain is a treasure land, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely rich, and the same kind of spiritual grass, growing in Shenmeng Mountain, can be several times or even ten times more valuable than ordinary ones. In order to help make up for his family, Tang Zixi often secretly went to Shenmeng Mountain to pick spiritual fruits and spiritual grasses, and then took them to Tianbao Pavilion to sell.

Thanks to the fact that Tang Zixi had a divine book in his mind - the Hundred Grass Diagram of Mountains and Seas, Tang Zixi could easily identify the hundred grasses in the mountains and the method of extracting them.

Speaking of this divine book, it is also very strange. Three months ago, she was flipping through the books in the Tang Family Library and accidentally found a broken ancient book on a dusty bookshelf. Unexpectedly, when she opened the page, the ancient book turned into gold dust and sank into her soul.

When the book reappeared in her mind, it was completely new and shining with golden light. From then on, it only took Tang Zixi's idea to automatically flip through it. Throughout the ages, the records and drawings of various spiritual grasses are lifelike, like living creatures.

The so-called guilt of Huaibi, about the mysterious mountains and seas, she never mentioned it to anyone.

Speaking of which, Tang Zixi went deep into Shenmeng Mountain on this trip, and she found a strange Eight Immortal Grass on the thousand-meter cliff.

The leaves of the common Eight Immortal Grass are green and spotless, but the leaves of this Eight Immortal Grass have dragon-shaped gold markings, and the fruits are purple and red in bunches, which is obviously a mutated variety. The whole plant is full of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy is not dispersed, but it condenses the green spiritual light in the stems and leaves, making a cliff like a lantern and a starry shadow.

According to the records of the hundred sketches of the mountains and seas, this mutated Eight Immortal Grass is a dragon-patterned Eight Immortal Grass, which only grows in the place where the gods bury their bones, and uses the flesh and blood of the gods as nourishment. As for whether Shenmeng Mountain is a relic of the fall of a god, Tang Zixi's current understanding is impossible to study.

The dragon pattern eight immortal grass is a treasure all over its body, and it is definitely a good thing. Its stems and leaves can cool the blood and stop bleeding, continue the bone and muscle, the fruit has the miraculous effect of condensing energy, washing the marrow and nourishing the skin, prolonging life, if you take it in the critical period of breakthrough, it can even play a role in the door, and you can definitely save a lot of money when you sell it!

Thinking that this money could alleviate the urgent need of the Tang family, Tang Zixi excitedly collected the stems, leaves and fruits of the spirit grass, and climbed along the vines to the top of the rock, and unconsciously climbed over the cliff, and a deep mountain forest appeared in front of him.

The wind was fishy, and there were scattered blood stains on the ground where the dead leaves had accumulated, and it stretched all the way to the cave, and I don't know whether it was a man or a beast who was injured and fell. Just when Tang Zixi was in doubt, a weak moan came from the depths of the cave.

Tang Zixi could tell that this was a human voice, could it be that someone was injured in the cave? Saving lives and helping the wounded is the duty of every healer, although Tang Zixi is not qualified to become a healer or alchemist, but it does not hinder her enthusiasm for saving people.

The cave tunnel is tortuous, the sunlight shines faintly, and the inside is dark and gloomy, and there are no fingers in sight. Tang Zixi's eyes did not adapt to the low-light environment for a while, and her vision was pitch black, but she was bold enough to hold on to the cave wall and move forward step by step.

Before long, I saw a pair of blue eyes in the depths of the pitch black, like two blue lights, and like two ghost fires. These were the eyes of a beast, the size of an adult in the darkness, could it be a large predatory beast? a wolf, a tiger, or what?

Only the heavy breath of the beast was heard, but no voice was heard, could it be said that the injured man had already become the food of the beast? Tang Zixi was so frightened that he had pimples all over his body, and everyone froze, and he didn't listen to the call to retreat.

The beast smelled man, and roared lowly, with a thunderous roar. Tang Zixi felt that the black shadow in front of her flickered, and the beast had attacked her, and when she slipped backwards, the beast had already pressed her under her.

"Tick tick tick ......" A few strings of warm liquid dripped on Tang Zixi's cheeks. She thought it was the saliva of the beast, and secretly cried bitterly. I think she has studied hard since she was a child, is obsessed with medicine, and aspires to be an alchemist, but before her ambition is realized, she will die under the claws of wild beasts......

The beast didn't make a move, and a few drops of saliva dripped into the corners of its mouth, which was very fishy and sweet. Tang Zixi tasted this blood!

After going deep into the cave for some time, Tang Zixi finally got used to the weak light, and when she was in danger, her eyes widened, and she looked at where she was a beast, and it was clearly a man! There was no one else or beast in the empty cave except this man.

Four eyes looked at each other, and the air froze for a few breaths. Tang Zixi finally saw this man's appearance clearly, he was born so strange!

The long silver hair flew down like a waterfall, the two fluffy fox ears grew on either side of the head, and a pair of eyes were like blue gems, and the pupils shimmered with a faint blue flame. There is also a long white tail growing in the back, a jade belt in a fluttering brocade dress, and the aura is so great. It's like a human and a fox, half human and half fox, it's a fox demon!

Tang Zixi stared at the fox demon with wide eyes, shocked by the beauty of the fox demon, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak.

It is said that the appearance of the fox demon after transformation is all beautiful, and this fox demon is no exception. The phoenix eyes are slightly upturned, slightly high, the lips are like peach petals, the skin is white and snowy, the typical male and female appearance, the extreme of the beauty of the body, the full of demons and seductions, there is an endless peerless elegance, even if the brocade clothes are tattered, and the body is soaked in blood, it is impossible to hide the elegant temperament of the noble son.

The fox boy's eyes are clear and innocent, like blue water, without a little earthly impurities, just like a pure child who does not know the world, but with a touch of sadness and helplessness, and Chu Chu is pitiful. Such pure eyes are rare even for humans.

At this moment, Tang Zixi was moved by the fox boy's eyes. People say that the demon clan is bloodthirsty and fierce, but this one doesn't look like it! There were many opportunities just now, if he wanted to take his own life, he would have been finished a long time ago!
