Chapter Forty-Eight: It Comes from the North, Too
Chi Xiaoye's mood couldn't be calm. (_
Suddenly, Lin Xi thought of something, helped Chi Xiaoye to get up, and asked inquiringly, "Say it on the way?"
"No, you're going to have to listen to me before you hit the road. ”
Chi Xiaoye shook his head as he looked at the four little black beasts that still refused to let go even if they were tightly in his arms.
Lin Xi felt even more relieved when he saw that anger and courage had returned to Chi Xiaoye's green eyes, but Chi Xiaoye's words surprised him very much.
"In the word of mouth of the cave barbarians, this black fox cat is called the Doom Demon Beast and the Fallen Demon Beast. ”
"I don't know where they came from, but after the Great Wilderness, we were also unlucky and depraved with this black fox cat. ”
Chi Xiaoye tried to calm himself down, and watched Lin Xi explain slowly.
"Doom Demon Beast, Fallen?" Lin Xi's brows furrowed slightly, "You don't know why they have such a statement... Why do you have such a statement there?"
Chi Xiaoye shook his head and said, "According to legend, when this kind of demon beast is born, the father demon beast will definitely die of old age soon, and the female demon beast, whether it is one or multiple births, will die of dystocia... Birth leads to the death of both parents... Legend has it that all cultivators who want to accept these demon beasts as pets, or who really accept these demon beasts as pets, will also suffer bad luck. ”
"There is also a legend that this demon beast did not originally live in the Great Wilderness for generations, but a long time ago, the climate was abnormal, and the extreme north Dengtian Mountain Range melted, accompanied by a monstrous flood. That flood was even passed on by word of mouth, and the amount of water was so large that it even affected the east side and flooded a small half of the wilderness. It is said that this monster itself is in the ice field behind the Ascending Mountain Range, and its fur is originally snow-white... Later, because the ice peaks melted, they crossed the Dengtian Mountain Range, and with the flood, they have been staying in the great wilderness ever since, and their fur has turned black. ”
"To the north, the Ascending Mountains?"
Lin Xi listened to what Chi Xiaoye said, and frowned even tighter, "What do you mean... I'm afraid it will bring me bad luck, so let me think about whether to take it with me or not?"
"Yes. ”
Chi Xiaoye looked at Lin Xi and said, "And this kind of demon beast is extremely difficult to get close to, as long as you encounter its cultivators, you will almost always be killed by it... I don't know why it's so close to you, but I have to tell you this. ()”
"It turns out that it was born an orphan... Of course I'm going to take it with me. ”
Lin Xi didn't hesitate for anything, and said to Chi Xiaoye very calmly and naturally: "I know that you may not be able to understand, but I know that this is probably their unique way of reproduction... At least I know that some things will even eat mates in order to reproduce the next generation, and some fish will return to their birthplace to lay eggs and then lay eggs and die. ”
"I've never believed in any inherently bad luck. Lin Xi suddenly smiled and touched the little beast's head with pity: "And in all the things you told me about it, there was a reason for me to take it with me no matter what." ”
Chi Xiaoye couldn't understand, "What reason." ”
"Because I'm also from the Ascending Mountains... Our Qingluan Academy is also in the Dengtian Mountain Range. Lin Xi looked at Chi Xiaoye and said, "So I must bring it." Maybe they've been wanting to go home, too... It's just that I lost my way home. ”
Chi Xiaoye saw that Lin Xi was serious and unchangeable, so she didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Then let's go... Let's go to Da Cize. ”
"Okay, you show me the way. ”
Lin Xi nodded and carried Chi Xiaoye on his back again.
He held the black beast in his arms, carried Chi Xiaoye on his back, and walked towards the distant wilderness pointed out by Chi Xiaoye.
In fact, he had a reason why he had to take this little black beast without saying it, because when he came to this world, he was also an unaccompanied traveler, which was equivalent to an orphan, but he met the father and mother of Lulin Town, and met the lovely old girl, which warmed his heart, and made him from the fear and confusion at the beginning, to begin to accept and enjoy everything in this world, and enjoy this completely different, but far more wonderful life than before.
This little beast has the same fate as him, and when he meets him and is close to him, he naturally feels that this is fate, so he must protect it.
As for fate ... There are only accidents in this world, so how can there be a predestined fate?
...
Chi Xiaoye's head rested on Lin Xi's shoulder, and her lips trembled slightly from time to time because of weakness.
But she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something important, and her body suddenly became tense.
Lin Xi just wanted to tell her something about his breakthrough to the Great Soul Master, but he immediately felt her inexplicable reaction, so he immediately turned his head sideways and asked, "What?"
"It has three tails. Chi Xiaoye said.
Lin Xi was slightly stunned: "The three-tailed black fox cat... Shouldn't there be three tails?"
"No... If it has three tails, it is called a three-tailed black fox cat. ”
Chi Xiaoye's head was very clear, but for a while, he didn't know how to organize it, "Black fox cats, they all have only one tail, I have never heard of a black fox cat with three tails before... When I said it was a three-tailed black fox cat, I was just surprised that it had three tails. ”
Lin Xi finally understood, and his face was bitter, "Could it be that it's not a black fox cat, it's another similar beast?"
Chi Xiaoye shook his head with difficulty but certainty, "No... There is no second similar beast in the Great Wilderness, and there are no other beasts with three tails, so it can only be some kind of demonization. ”
Lin Xi couldn't help but mutter, "Genetic mutation?"
Chi Xiaoye asked, "What is a genetic mutation?"
Lin Xi said: "It's hard to explain... Maybe it's the same as what you said about demonization, and when you say demonization, you mean that this kind of difference will be more powerful than ordinary ones?"
"Some of them will become more powerful, and some of them may be very weak, and they may not be as good as them. "Chi Xiaoyedao.
"What about it?" Lin Xi curiously touched the head of the little black beast that arched his head from time to time, and asked, "Do you think it will be weaker or much more powerful than its peers?"
Chi Xiaoye said seriously: "Its breath makes me palpitate... It should be a lot better than its peers. ”
Lin Xi asked casually, "You said before that almost all the cultivators who saw the black fox cat were killed by it, so the ordinary black fox cat is very powerful?"
Chi Xiaoye nodded: "Yes... It is equivalent to a practitioner of the national rank. ”
"What?"
Lin Xi trembled all over, almost unsteady with one foot, and fell into a puddle of mud next to him.
......
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Of course not. ”
......
"Then aren't you even more powerful than a cultivator of the national rank?"
Lin Xi, who received Chi Xiaoye's affirmative answer again, was completely speechless, and couldn't help but lower his head and point his finger at the harmless black beast in his arms, which was still wrapped in mud.
Then he had a bitter face again.
"It's hungry, what does it eat?"
He turned his head and asked Chi Xiaoye.
Because the little black beast in his arms had no mastery demeanor, he pointed at the finger in front of it and sucked it.
This made him understand that he was really hungry and needed to eat.
Chi Xiaoye looked at Lin Xi and said, "The reason why black fox cats are linked to depravity again is because legend says that they eat everything, whether it is rotten meat, or rotten roots and fruits of plants. So press I thought... You just teach it to eat, and it should be able to eat anything. ”
"What a poor little fellow... is also a kind and righteous little guy, I will try to make you suffer less in the future..."
Lin Xi sighed softly.
He knew more than almost everyone else in this world, and his ideas were originally different from everyone else in this world.
The people in this world think that it eats even any kind of rot, is unclean, and is depraved, but Lin Xi thinks... It was born without parents, and it had no choice to live in such a world, and he could feel the hunger of this little beast at this moment, and he knew that since it ate everything, and his fingers were also delicious, but it only sucked, thinking that he was going to feed him something, and not bite him, so he inexplicably felt some warmth.
......
Lin Xi crossed the extremely wide riverbed and entered the wilderness behind, he found some herbs that were useful for Chi Xiaoye, and some plants that could replenish some nutrients, like wild sugar cane, and some taro tubers.
He began to squeeze the sap out of the wild sugarcane-like plant and drip it into the mouth of the little black beast.
The little black beast tasted the sweet juice, and then let out an excited moan, and its body was closer to Lin Xi.
Seeing it swallowing happily again and again, Lin Xi smiled with satisfaction.
"You should have a name... What's your name?" He couldn't help but ask Chi Xiaoye inquiringly.
"It's called a beast, right?"
"Uh... It's so dark... It is also called beasts... It's wicked. ”
"Evil?"
"....Let's change the name. ”
"It has three tails, so why don't you call it a junior?"
"......" Lin Xi sweated.
