Chapter 66: The Origin of the Shadow Fox

"How's it going?" asked Hu Kai.

"Everything is under control!" Shi Fei smiled proudly, turned his head to look at Chu Yi, and said, "Brother Chu is really good at planning, and things are going according to plan." Shadow Fox has a strong sense of territory, and as soon as the Colorful Phantom Butterfly took a step, it was expelled by Shadow Fox. Hehe, but the colorful phantom butterflies are not vegetarians, and they just lack a new gathering place, and the two sides are fighting fiercely at this time. ”

"Great!" everyone in the War Tiger Regiment cheered.

"Hehe, it feels good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then we will wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Shi Fei touched his chin and smiled. As the leader of the battle group, Shi Fei rarely has the opportunity to be so idle, and more often than not, he is on the front line of the battle, in Shi Fei's opinion, this is a good opportunity to harvest. Although the War Tiger Regiment is a mercenary war group, it can only meet the daily expenses of the war group by collecting task rewards, and if you want to accumulate more wealth, you must not give up the opportunity in front of you. If you can take the colorful phantom butterfly and the shadow fox together this time, then even if you give up the task, it will not be a loss.

"No, let's move on. Hu Kai objected.

"Commander!" Shi Fei was anxious, and just wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Hu Kai.

"This is a shadow fox!" Hu Kai said solemnly.

Shi Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. Yes, this is the Shadow Fox, the most cunning nocturnal fox clan. In the original plan, to hunt and kill the black-striped demon leopard, it was necessary to pass through the Shadow Fox Tribe and the Thunder Wolf Tribe. Among them, the number of shadow foxes is only a hundred, and the number of thunder wolves is more than three hundred, and the thunder wolves are much stronger than shadow foxes in terms of individual combat power and numbers, but the most worried about the war tiger group is indeed the shadow fox. They don't want to fight to the death with demon beasts, but to borrow the way. Shadow Foxes possess a super high level of intelligence, not even below the Terrans, and at the same time they are insidious and cunning, which is why Shi Fei was so nervous after discovering the Colorful Phantom Butterfly. After experiencing the toxin of the Colorful Phantom Butterfly, if you encounter a cunning fox clan, no matter how strong the Battle Tiger Clan is, it is very likely that one or two people will be lost.

"Then let's just give up, this is ......" Shi Fei was very unwilling.

"It seems that it can only be like this, with the wisdom of the Shadow Fox, even if the Colorful Phantom Butterfly will cause damage to them, it will definitely retain enough combat power, otherwise let alone us, even the Thunderwolf Tribe will be ready to move, our number is still less, if the entire War Tiger Regiment is in place, it may be worth a try." Hu Kai sighed and said helplessly.

"Well, I trust your judgment. Shi Fei said disappointedly.

"However, we are not without a chance, if it is a return trip. Hu Kai changed his words, and suddenly said to Chu Yi, "What do you say, Chu Yi!"

"That's right!" Hearing that he was named, Chu Yi also responded quickly, "I have collected enough colorful butterfly powder, as long as there is enough time, I can make colorful potions, in addition to dealing with the black-striped demon leopard, the rest can be used to deal with the shadow fox, although I dare not say that the entire tribe is exterminated, but it is no problem to lure some of them!"

"That's really great!" Shi Fei was finally happy, so it could be said that everyone was happy.

"Next, Chu Yi is responsible for removing our body odor, Lin Hai continues to investigate the situation of the Shadow Fox, we pass through the Shadow Fox Tribe before dark, and camp in the buffer zone between the Shadow Fox Tribe and the Thunderwolf Tribe. Hu Kai commanded.

"Yes!" everyone replied.

On the next journey, the War Tiger Regiment did not show the slightest hostile intent, and now that Shadow Fox was too busy to take care of himself, everyone passed through Shadow Fox's territory very smoothly. When he arrived at the junction of the two demon beast tribes, Hu Kai was also relieved.

It was getting late, and the Tigers rested on the spot to prepare dinner. At this time, Lin Hai also returned safely.

Hu Kai nodded at Lin Hai and motioned for him to explain the situation.

"The head of the regiment is wise!" Lin Haiyi first slapped a loud sycophant, and then said, "The Shadow Fox Tribe was slightly inferior when it was first invaded by the Colorful Phantom Butterfly, but it quickly eased the situation, and I suspect that there is a high-level Shadow Fox who has made a move. Moreover, by the end of the night, Shadow Fox's combat ability began to skyrocket, and the Colorful Phantom Butterfly itself was too fragile and had been defeated by the time I returned. The strength of the Shadow Fox Tribe is indeed extraordinary, but fortunately we didn't make a rash move. Lin Hai is worthy of being a master of investigation, but after a while, he has already figured out the situation of the shadow fox, and he said it in a few words.

"Yes!" Hu Kai nodded and said, "Sure enough, it was as I expected." After all, the shadow fox is a night walker, it is said that the shadow fox originated from the sand fox family, born in the western desert, where the living environment is harsh, the survival competition is great, and the sand fox is the best there. It is said that many years ago, the two moons were combined, and the heaven and earth were visionary, and a certain sand fox tribe, affected by the power of heaven and earth, changed into a shadow fox. The newly born Shadow Fox not only inherits the fierce and aggressive characteristics of the sand fox, but also greatly increases its ability under the moonlit night. However, Shadow Fox lost the orthodox bloodline of the Sand Fox, was ostracized, and finally settled in the Rados Mountains. The Shadow Fox at night is very powerful, and it can even be hidden in the night, even if we have left the Shadow Fox's realm, we still need to be careful in case there is a wandering Shadow Fox. "Hu Kai tells a story in general, and explains the characteristics of the shadow fox.

"Hey, head of the group, how do you know about these situations of Shadow Fox, the academic community is very interested in Shadow Fox, but except for knowing that Shadow Fox is an emerging demon beast race, there is not much information, and even the origin is not directly determined. Chu Yi was surprised. Chu Yi admits that he has read the history of demon beasts in recent years, and has also seen the information of the shadow fox, but what Hu Kai said is unheard of, and there has never been a document.

"Hehe, scholars are just a bunch of nerds, what else can they do but pay lip service. Except for the 'Wen Sheng', I haven't heard of any scholars who have gone deep into the hinterland of demon beasts, let alone forbidden places such as desperate lands and barren lands. Naturally, there is no so-called academic basis for what I said, but the reliability is extremely high. If you've ever seen a newborn Shadow Fox, you'll see that it's exactly the same as a sand fox, without the dark skin of a Shadow Fox, but the colors of the desert. Shadow Fox's competition for territory is the same as that of Sand Fox, ordinary fox clans are mostly subordinate to powerful demon beast groups, acting as think tanks, only Sand Fox and Shadow Fox are their own faction, which can be imagined. Those scholars knew about the study of bloodline inheritance, and believed that there was no integration between the two bloodlines, so they denied the connection between the two. But how could they have seen it with their own eyes? I'm bah!" Hu Kai spat out, with a look of disdain, as if one of the tendons had been drawn.

"Uh......" Chu Yi was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and always felt that he was the dull scholar in Hu Kai.

"Haha, Brother Chu, don't care, the head of the regiment is this character. Over the years, we have traveled north and south, and we have also seen a lot of novel things, and for these things that have never been discovered, there will be a certain reward for reporting to the Martial Palace. Leader, because the content of the report has been denied by scholars many times, it is biased against scholars, and it is not aimed at you. Li Yuan saw Chu Yi's demeanor for the first time, and hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Ah, Brother Chu, I didn't mean you. Hu Kai also reacted immediately.

"It's okay, I just think you're right, Commander. Chu Yi replied, and at the same time fell into deep thought. The ancients said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Chu Yi always thought that he had made great progress in his knowledge, but now it seems that he is just a drop in the ocean, very small. It seems that I need more practice. Chu Yi secretly set a goal.

The night sky fell, and there was no more to say in the team. After dinner, in addition to arranging a vigil, everyone began to recharge their energy and prepare for the new day's journey.
