At sunset, a snow-white fox snoozes on a mountain peak, with a fluffy tail with a pale blue tinge at the end.

It squinted at the person who had trespassed into its territory, and when it saw that he had not cultivated, it didn't bother to take care of it, closed its eyes and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, it snapped its eyes open, and the corners of its mouth curled up slightly, as if smiling.

The blue-tailed white fox stood up, stretched, and leaped off the cliff.

......

Li Xuetian was a little hungry, but he couldn't find anything to eat. Walking to a small stream, he took a handful of water to drink, and the cool feeling made him feel a little more energetic.

Are there any fish in the water? If there are any fish, how do you catch them? How do you eat them when you catch them? He sat on the rocks by the stream and froze.

As the sun sinks, night falls fast. The sound of insects chirping in the forest gradually rose, far and near.

A gentle breeze blew, taking away the last shred of warmth left by the day. Li Xuetian shrank back, feeling a little scared.

He hadn't spent the night outside, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Shouldn't we make a fire? He remembered that in the stories he had read, campfires were always inseparable from campfires. It's just that he didn't carry any fire-making tools, which made him quite annoyed, and he should be prepared before going out next time.

fluttering, fluttering, the sound of wings stirring all around, and through the sporadic moonlight, he saw a group of palm-sized things, not sure if they were birds or bats, circling around him. These things were getting closer and closer to him, brushing past him from time to time, as if provocative and as if tentative.

Li Xuetian waved his hand to drive away, but those things became more and more unscrupulous. Knowing something was wrong, he jumped off the rocks to avoid the strange creatures. He ran down the stream, but the strange birds followed him, and there was no point in escaping.

Slowly, he felt his limbs stiffen a little, and he didn't listen to the call, and then he tripped over something and fell to the ground. He tried to get up, but his body had lost sensation, and now he couldn't even roll over.

Well, it looks like these things are poisonous and can numb people's nerves, and he doesn't know when he has been bitten. Before losing consciousness, he suddenly saw a white figure appear not far away.

This, and what is it?

......

The cold was very strong in the early morning, although the sky was bright, the sun had not yet climbed the mountain, and Li Xuetian was awakened by freezing. He rubbed his arms to keep warm, and the clothes on his body were already wet with dew, and the stickiness was very uncomfortable.

There was a burst of pain in his back, and he remembered that he was attacked by a strange bird last night, and he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to live until now.

There were many moths on the ground, and he thought to himself, could it be that it wasn't some strange birds that attacked him last night, but this group of strange moths?

He looked up and saw a snow-white fox squatting on the ground not far away, as if he had seen it before he lost consciousness last night.

"I saved you. The fox spoke.

Suddenly hearing the voice of someone talking, Li Xuetian instinctively looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Didn't you hear me!

Annoyed, the fox rushed over and threw him to the ground, its paws pressed against his chest, and bared its teeth at him fiercely.

After the initial stunned, Li Xuetian reacted: "Fox ...... Sister Fox Fairy, thank you for saving me!"

The fox jumped down from him and sat down on the ground again. Li Xuetian also sat up and faced it face to face, only to find that it was not snow-white, and the fur at the end of its tail was blue.

"You humans have a saying called "Knowing Grace and Retribution", I saved your life, should you repay me?"

"That's the truth, how do you want me to repay you. Li Xuetian nodded, "But I want to state that I won't do anything too much." ”

He thought to himself, this time he met the fox demon, but it seems that there is no malice for the time being, and it is true to save his life, so it is better to hear what its purpose is first.

"Don't worry, there's nothing hard to do. The fox walked past him, "Follow me!"

Li Xuetian had the courage to follow, thinking to himself, if he helped it complete things, could he beg it to send him down the mountain later?

After only a few steps, Li Xuetian's head began to dizzy, and his steps staggered for a while, looking extremely hungry.

"Wait here for me, and I'll help you pick some fruit to eat. The fox was a little helpless when he saw him, and when he had finished speaking, he turned and jumped into the woods.

didn't let him wait long, the fox ran back with a red fruit in his mouth and placed it in front of Li Xuetian.

"Eat something before you go. ”

"Thank you!"

didn't have time to think about it, Li Xuetian picked up the fruit and ate it in a big gulp. The fruit has a sweet taste and a mellow aroma, so I don't know what variety it is.

After eating, he wiped his mouth clean, a little unsatisfied, although he was not full, but he had recovered some strength and looked much better.

"Let's go!"

The blue-tailed white fox continued to lead the way.

Li Xuetian felt a warm warmth rise in his stomach. This warmth dispelled the cold of the early morning and lifted his spirits even more.

However, as time passed, this warmth did not disappear, but became more intense.

"Hiss"

He clutched his stomach and took a breath.

"Are you alright?" the fox stopped and looked up at him, "your face is red!"

At this moment, his stomach was like a furnace that was constantly heating up, and the burning pain caused him to fall to his knees.

"I feel...... Belly...... It's going to burn through!"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Seeing this scene, the fox was startled, but after thinking about it, could it be because of the spirit fruit? But it had also eaten that fruit, and it was not poisonous! The fox did not know much about human beings, so it did not know that a mortal like Li Xuetian, who had not opened his pulse, could not withstand the spiritual power in this spirit fruit.

"Ahhh......h Stomach aches!"

Li Xuetian rolled on the ground in pain.

"Don't worry, I want to find a way!"

The fox pondered carefully for a while, and then said to him, "How do you humans cultivate? ”

"What kind of cultivation, I don't know!"

"If you don't know, I don't know!"

The fox thought to himself, if this human died, he couldn't blame it, it was because he was too useless, it was just to help him pick a fruit to eat, a kind ...... Yes, it doesn't hurt!

Li Xuetian didn't know that the fox had begun to shirk his responsibilities in his heart, and asked for help in pain: "You are a demon, you should have a way to cultivate, right?"

"What's the matter, people are different from demons, my cultivation method may not be useful to you. ”

"What's different, different paths to the same end, how to know if you don't try. ”

The sweat on Li Xuetian's head swished down, and he said weakly: "I feel like I'm about to die." ”

"Okay, let's start with the first time I sensed the aura of heaven and earth......"

The fox lay next to him, reminiscing and talking, not so much teaching him cultivation as telling stories. Li Xuetian curled up on the ground and listened carefully, perhaps because of the divergence of attention, his pain was much lessened.

As for whether he has learned the method of cultivation or not, who knows?

Before the fox's story was finished, Li Xuetian had already fallen asleep. It probed over to sniff his breath and was relieved to see that he was still alive.
