The Great Khing'an Mountains, the mysterious black earth, the lush and dense primeval forest, the towering larch, the serene and quiet birch trees, and the aspens standing in the wind.

At the moment, it was all wrapped in a thick layer of silver.

A pair of lovers are chasing each other in the forest, shuttling through the forest, laughing and laughing.

It turned out to be two small snow-white foxes.

"Xiao Tao, slow down, I can't keep up with you." The little fox in front ran as fast as he could, and the one behind him was out of breath to barely keep up.

"Hurry up, Brother Hu Yang, otherwise we won't see the sunrise."

It was still night, but they knew the dawn was coming.

"Xiao Tao, I think it's better for us to go back to the cave, we can be ranked in the immortal class at dawn, it's better to be on the safe side." Hu Yang said.

Hu Tao stopped and looked back at him.

"Humph! I think Brother Hu Yang, you can't catch up with me, so you said this kind of thing. Hee-hee. ”

"I'm here for our safety, we can't get back into human form before dawn, and if we encounter any hunters, beasts will break. We've all been in the cave for so many years, and it's not too late for this day. ”

There is an unwritten rule in the heavenly court that every living being in the mortal world, whether it is a human or a monster, must have a period of one week, that is, seven years of survival experience in the mortal world, before ascending to the heavenly court. During this time, no spells can be used, and you must maintain your original form to survive in order to ascend to Heaven smoothly.

These two little foxes have been cultivating in the mortal world for thousands of years, and the Heavenly Court has long allowed them to rank in the immortal class once they have passed the survival training, and today is the last day of their survival cultivation.

Hu Tao stood on a tree stump and teased his lover. "Brother Hu Yang, you are too timid, how can there be any hunters here, it is because you have been in the cave for so many years, so you have to take a good look at the beautiful scenery here today. How could Heavenly Court see such a beautiful northern scenery again. ”

Hu Yang sighed, lowered his head and shook his head. "I really can't say it, okay, but you have to promise me that we will go back as soon as we see the sunrise."

"Oh, I know, I'll listen to you in the future. That's all right. Hu Tao smiled mischievously, and ran forward again.

The two little foxes disappeared into the woods in a moment.

"Big brother, isn't it a bit of a second for us to come here at this point. It's a cold day! ”

An off-road vehicle is moving slowly on the snow, and the wind and snow are very strong in Daxinganling at the moment, so cold that even the sound of the engine roaring is hoarse. The dazzling headlights illuminate dozens of meters ahead.

Two tightly wrapped middle-aged men in the car were talking to each other, one short and stocky, the other tall. The tall man was visibly vigorous.

"I said the third child, you have been a soldier anyway, why are you still so timid, the girl chirps."

"It has nothing to do with being bold, poaching in the Great Khing'an Mountains in this kind of weather is simply death."

The third child listened to the fat man's ridicule of him, obviously angry, and the steering wheel turned half a circle.

"You should accompany the eldest brother, this is also a helpless thing, the little lover always asks me for gifts, I think it is not easy to come to the Northeast, it is better to beat her a white fox, peel the skin and go back to make a coat for her."

The fat man lit a cigarette and looked ahead with a telescope as he puffed in the smoke with great interest.

"Haha, I'm really laughing to death, big brother, are your brains in the water, the white fox is a rare and protected animal, don't say you can't kill it, even if you can kill it, you can't find it."

The fat man stopped talking, holding the telescope and looking straight ahead, motionless.

"And big brother, there are all kinds of fierce beasts in this forest, don't fox you can't catch, but we have become a bear's supper."

The fat man still doesn't speak.

"Big brother, are you dumb?"

"I'll make it from you, the third one, you are a good soldier, you show me if the two in front of me are white foxes."

The fat man suddenly shouted excitedly.

The two little foxes ran to an overgrown spot and hugged each other, mouth-to-mouth.

They were so excited that they didn't even feel pain when they rolled down the slope.

"Brother Hu Yang, when you come to Heaven in the future, I want you to paint me every day. You are not allowed to draw anyone else, only me. ”

"Okay, good, just draw you."

"When we move to Heavenly Court, you will paint at home, and I will dance for those people, and we will not ask for any official positions, just be happy and plain and be together forever."

Poplar rubbed her tongue against the white fluff on her neck little by little. "That's what I thought too."

"Also, when Heavenly Court stabilizes, I will give you many, many children."

Hu Yang couldn't help but laugh. "You stinky girl, you really don't know how to be ashamed, you can say this kind of thing."

"Oh, that's all true."

They lingered again and became one with the snow.

Suddenly, two white rays of light tore through the darkness and headed straight at them.

A savage roar of the engine followed.

"Run! Little Peach! It's a hunter. ”

"Hurry up! Third! Left! The fat man roared.

The third child made a sharp left turn, and the off-road vehicle almost rolled over on its side, leaving a deep tire mark on the snow.

The fat man's first shot went straight to the air.

The fat man scolded again. "You stay steady! My rifle can't be aimed at all. ”

"Big brother! Are you sure you want to kill the white fox? This is punishable by death. ”

"Don't be funny! Third! You tell me that there is no one else in this place besides us? Who knew it was us? ”

"But ......" the third child seemed to be anxious.

"That's it! Don't talk nonsense and drive with peace of mind. ”

The off-road vehicle chased two frightened foxes and ran for hundreds of miles. The quiet Daxing'an Mountains can no longer sleep at this moment, and the roar and gunfire come and go.

The fat man had been aiming for a long time, and he decisively pulled the trigger.

Boom! A loud bang shook the snow and shook it off.

"Hit! Hit! Hit one! The fat man cheered. The third child gets out of the car quickly, and while it is not dead, we will peel it off. ”

Hu Yang pushed Hu Tao into the tree hole, but he was shot in the body, and now he can no longer run, and his blood instantly coagulates in this extremely cold winter, staining his white hair.

"Little Peach, you hide quickly." Populus snorted weakly.

"Brother Hu Yang! Brother Hu Yang! ”

"Little Peach, hide quickly, don't make a sound."

"It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have pulled you out to watch the sunrise, it was my mistake." Hu Tao choked.

"It's all fate, and I can't escape it. Don't blame yourself. ”

"If you die, I won't live either."

"Xiao Tao, if you want to live, you must go to Heavenly Court, we have been practicing for so many years...... Just to see the heavenly court...... You must take a good look at it for me.

The footsteps slowly approached, and so did death. Only one person was heard cursing from a short distance. "This brute finally hit me."

"Little Peach, you are obedient. Be sure not to make any noise. ”

The poplar let out a few wails of bitter tears.

The two men ran up to him and held him down.

"Don't make a sound."

A sharp knife plunged into his abdomen, blood pumping out, and the snow stained bright red.

He let out several heart-rending screams.

"Thousand ...... Don't make a sound. ”

The fat man grabbed the skin of his wound and began to tear it down. Hot blood flowed down the tail.

Yes! Yes!

The screams of poplars resounded through the deep forest. The mere hearing of that cry was enough to break people's hearts.

"Damn, this fox can't stop barking, it's really annoying."

The fat man's hand was heavier, and the whole snow-white fur was torn off at once.

Populus euphratica was only a bare and bloody body, and the snow under it was already red. He twitched weakly in place, his lack of skin but still his heartbeat, which was the most painful.

At this moment, he was still repeating that sentence.

"Little ...... Little Peach, don't..."

"Why is this fox still barking!"

The fat man plunged a knife into his heart, slitting open his abdominal cavity, and scattered all his internal organs all over the ground.

Hu Tao saw every scene of this cruelty, and she naturally couldn't make a sound, because her heart hurt so much that she fainted.

The two hunters walked away triumphantly holding a whole white fox skin.

The sky is slowly getting brighter.
