Volume 1 Crossing Chapter 22 Snow Fox, Snow Leopard

In this icy and snowy place, the cluster of flames in the cave is extraordinarily warm. Chi Xin and the others have been trapped in the formation for more than ten days, and they have not had a good rest in the cold wind. Now there was a warm place to rest, and the two of them sat by the fire and closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The fire inside the cave was shining, and it was very warm to the cold outside the cave, and it was not only the two people in the cave who noticed the warmth here. At this moment, there is a pair of round eyes at the entrance of the cave, staring at the situation inside the cave.

Those round eyes looked at the fire on the ground, and their eyes lit up. looked at the two people with their eyes closed next to the fire, and their eyes instantly became vigilant. After observing the entrance of the cave for a while, he found that the two people did not move, and the "eyes" carefully moved towards the cave step by step.

Seeing that the fire was in front of him, the vigilance around him gradually relaxed, and his eyes showed excitement.

At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out, grabbed the skin on the back of its neck, and lifted it up.

"I thought it was? It turned out to be a little milk dog! Chi Yu opened his eyes and looked at a white dog-like animal in Chi Xin's hand.

In fact, when this dog-like animal was at the entrance of the cave, Chi Xin and Chi Yu noticed that they didn't open their eyes, but only noticed that something was looking at them.

At first, I thought it was a person, but then I thought it shouldn't be, there was basically no one in this place, and I obviously felt that the thing was not large, but I also felt that it was not vigilant. Therefore, the two did not open their eyes, in case they were startled.

As the thing approached, Chi Xin felt it let its guard down and grabbed it as fast as he could.

He quietly looked at the dog-like thing in his hand, it was snow-white, and its ears were pointed. was carried in the air by Chi Xin, his two hind legs kicked in the air, his mouth opened to reveal two fangs, he let out a "ahh

Fingers ran over the hair on its body, and it felt familiar.

"After eating dry food for so long, we can finally eat meat, let's peel it and roast it!" Akabane looked at the dog-like thing, his eyes lit up, and his saliva came out.

Chi Xin glanced at him, put the thing he was carrying in his arms, encircled it with one hand, and ran the hair on its body with the other.

At the beginning, this little thing was not honest in Chi Xin's arms, and he opened his mouth to bite Chi Xin's hand, but Chi Xin avoided it several times, and gradually felt that the hair was really comfortable, and he also noticed that Chi Xin had no malice towards it, so he was honestly in Chi Xin's arms and no longer moved.

It's just that he still looked at Akabane vigilantly, and he heard the man say that he was going to eat it just now.

"It can't be eaten, and it's not a dog, it's a snow fox. This is supposed to be its cave, where we occupy its home. ”

Snow Fox seemed to understand Chi Xin's words, glanced at Chi Xin gratefully, and then looked at Chi Yu, it felt as if he was showing off to Chi Yu again.

Akabane saw the snow fox's expression, and the expression on his face stiffened for a while. Turning his head, he decided not to bother with a beast.

Suddenly, the snow fox jumped from Chi Xin's arms to the ground, biting the hem of Chi Xin's clothes and pulling it out.

Chi Xin didn't know what it wanted to do, but it also stood up.

"What does it do?" Akabane was a little wary of the snow fox, afraid that it would suddenly attack people.

"Do you want us to go out with you?" Chi Xin looked down at the snow fox on the ground who kept tugging at his clothes.

The snow fox couldn't speak, but just pulled Chi Xin's clothes hard, and made a "woo" sound in his throat, as if responding to Chi Xin.

Follow the snow fox out of the cave, keep walking forward, the more stones pile up on the road, and further on, you will see a large snowdrift on the road, it seems that the snow on the mountain has fallen.

Walking in front of the snowdrift, the snow fox loosened Chixin's clothes, ran under the snowdrift and began to frantically plow the snowdrift with his paws. He looked back at Chi Xin while planing, with pleading in his eyes.

Chi Xin looked at the snowdrift, then looked around, and found that there were many animal footprints outside the snowdrift, the most were very small footprints, and they circled around the snowdrift several times, and there was a row of larger footprints that disappeared under the snowdrift. Presumably, the little snow fox's companion was crushed by the falling snow and couldn't get out.

Glancing at Akabane, Akabane said aggrievedly: "I'm also a young sect master, how can I be like that stupid dog shaving snow there?" ”

Because since entering the Snow Mountain, the cultivation of both of them has been banned, so if they want to help Snow Fox, they can only do it themselves.

"You mean to do it yourself?" Chi Xin smiled, but there was no emotion in those beautiful phoenix eyes, Chi Yu was very familiar with this expression, this was the patriarch's dissatisfaction. Forget it, for the sake of a small life, what is face, fortunately, no one else sees it.

He walked up to the snow fox and began to shave the snow hard.

As he slashed, the snow fox let out a cry of surprise, and its two paws sped up.

"Akabane, snow fox ahead." Chi Xin saw the snow fox's movements and guessed that it should have smelled its companions, after all, animals have a more sensitive sense of smell.

Sure enough, Akabane dug out a head bigger than the snow fox's head in a few clicks, and after finding out where it was, he quickly rescued the snow fox's companion.

"Snow leopard?" The rescued snow fox companion is an adult snow leopard, which is larger and more robust than the average snow leopard. Maybe it's because I've been pressed by the snow for so long, my breathing is weak, and my whole body is cold.

"Akabane, carry the snow leopard back to the cave."

Still observing the red feathers of the snow leopard, he looked at Chixin sadly, and then looked at his hands that were red and swollen from the cold, and bent down to carry the snow leopard back to the cave with more than 200 catties. The snow fox followed behind Akabane, staring nervously at the snow leopard.

After staying in the warm cave for a while, the snow leopard on the ground gradually regained its body temperature, but it has not yet woken up. The little snow fox has been squatting beside the snow leopard since he came back from outside, staring at the snow leopard without turning his eyes.

After feeling the snow leopard's breathing evenly and forcefully, the snow fox stuck out his tongue and licked the hair on the snow leopard's face. Feeling the wetness on its face, the snow leopard opened its eyes.

The first thing I saw was the snow fox in front of me, and the snow leopard after waking up instantly became sensitive, feeling the breath of a human next to it, and immediately became vigilant. Strongly propped up his still weak body and protected the snow fox in his arms.

Seeing the appearance of the snow leopard, Akabane smiled, "I saved you, and you still guard against us?" ”

Not only is the snow fox humane, but this snow leopard seems to be able to understand Akabane's words. It looked down at the snow fox, as if asking the snow fox.

The snow fox licked the claws of the snow leopard, ran to Chi Xin again, stretched out his head and arched on Chi Xin's legs, and Chi Xin picked up the snow fox and put it in his arms.

The snow leopard naturally understood what the snow fox meant, and the body, which had not yet recovered, couldn't hold it and lay on the ground.

Chi Xin didn't care about it, continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and he would go up the mountain tomorrow.

At dawn the next day, Chi Yu took out the dry food in the bag and distributed it to Chi Xin. The snow leopard, which had fully recovered, glanced at the dry food in Akabane's hand and turned to go out.

Chi Yu watched the snow leopard come out of the cave in amazement, and then came back to his senses and said to Chi Xin, "What was its expression just now?" Is it disgusting? ”

"It's really disgusting." Chi Xin said lightly, not feeling that this answer had hit Chi Yu at all. Because he was also disliked, he was disgusted by the little snow fox in his arms.

Just now Akabane gave him a cake, and he broke a small piece for Snow Fox. didn't think about it, the snow fox just sniffed it, and then turned his head to sleep in Chi Xin's arms.

As the head of the Chi clan, Chi Xin has been held by others since he was a child because of his talent, and no one has ever dared to dislike him. Just this little snow fox dared, which made him cry and laugh, and he couldn't eat the dry food in his hand, nor did he eat it.

Just in Chixin's entanglement, the snow leopard that went out had already returned, still holding a freshly dead snow rabbit in his mouth. As soon as it entered the cave, the snow leopard threw the rabbit in its mouth in front of Akabane.

Akabane opened his mouth wide in surprise, he had only been out for a while and had hunted a rabbit, which was faster than me as a cultivator.

Chi Xin was also shocked by the snow leopard, which was too fast. Although the snow leopard is indeed very fast, Chi Xin had already surveyed the surrounding area when he discovered this cave, and there were no animals in this vicinity.

It is impossible for the snow leopard to be caught around here, on such a cold day, these small animals will not go out and wander around, and the snow leopard can find its prey so quickly and so accurately, which can only show that it has outstanding ability.

Seeing that this snow leopard seems to be able to understand human speech, and its size is much larger than the snow leopards he has seen before, coupled with this outstanding ability, Chi Xin feels that this has a lot to do with this area.

However, these are just speculations now, and it remains to be seen whether this is the case or not.

"Akabane, what are you doing in a daze, roast this rabbit! Are you waiting? ”

"Waiting?" Chi Yu looked at the past and was really there, one person, one fox and one leopard were all looking at themselves, and the young sect master of the dignified Senmu Sect did everything. Akabane pitifully picked up the rabbit, which was still a little warm, skinned it, and gutted it. He made some snow outside, put it in a cave and melted it into water, washed the rabbit and roasted it on the fire.

When the rabbit was roasted, Chi Yu tore off one of his legs and gave it to Chi Xin, but Chi Xin gave it to the snow fox in his arms, and the snow fox bit the rabbit leg and jumped to the ground to eat it.

Helplessly, Chi Yu tore off another leg and gave it to Chi Xin, but Chi Xin still didn't eat it and gave it to the snow leopard.

Chi Yu was dejected and tore off another one to Chi Xin, and this time Chi Xin began to eat. I thought I could eat two legs, but I didn't expect that I was the most pitiful one, and even those two were treated better than myself.

A rabbit, Chi Xin, didn't eat much, and the rest was given to the snow leopard and the snow fox, who only ate the meat and threw all the bones aside.

"Hey, these two beasts are too tricky, they don't even eat bones, don't animals like to eat bones?"

"These two are different, don't you see that they are smarter than the average animal? Moreover, it is strange that snow foxes and snow leopards can be friends. "From the appearance of the snow fox saving the snow leopard, it can be seen that their feelings are very deep, whether in terms of size or nature, shouldn't they both be enemies?

When he rescued the snow leopard at night, Chi Xin had already discovered that this cave was indeed the snow leopard's home, and the hair he touched on the stone wall was the snow leopard's. The snow leopard's coat is smooth and shiny, and the snow fox's is similar to it, but softer than the snow leopard's.
