Chapter 16 Expediency

After Yuan Ming left the armadillo territory, he searched for a long time in the direction where the second green fox fled yesterday, and finally found traces of the green fox outside a mountain col.

Those were two green foxes, slightly smaller than yesterday's green foxes, who were lazily lying on their stomachs at the exit of the mountain col, as if basking in the sun.

Before Yuan Ming could do anything, a fox roar came from the mountain col, and then four or five green foxes rushed out from inside, and together with the two green foxes outside, they burrowed into the dense jungle.

"It seems that this col is the nest of the green foxes." Yuan Ming glanced towards the mountain col, and then followed the group of green foxes into the jungle.

With his current flexible control over the body of the white ape, he easily hung behind the green fox without being noticed by it.

Not long after entering the jungle, those green foxes seemed to have their own purposes and gradually dispersed, and Yuan Ming chose one of the lone green foxes to continue to follow.

In the blink of an eye, a man and a fox were already miles away from the mountain pass.

After Yuan Ming confirmed that there were no other fierce beasts around, he sped up his speed and quickly caught up with the green fox and came to the tree above his head.

The green fox was deaf and had a nose, and immediately discovered Yuan Ming, stopped, raised his head and roared at Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming just smiled, took out a piece of bluestone from the animal skin package he was carrying, and threw it at the green fox.

The stone turned into a green shadow, slashed through the void, and went straight to the head of the green fox.

The green fox hurriedly dodged to the side, but a black shadow struck again, but it was a black stone with the size of a bowl.

It didn't manage to dodge this time, and was hit in the head by a black stone.

With a "bang", the stone shattered, and the green fox's eyes were dark, and some were stunned.

Yuan Ming looked at his left hand, a little stunned.

After the first stone was shot, his left hand subconsciously threw the second stone, with almost no time gap between before and after.

This seems to be some kind of throwing martial art that he subconsciously used, and he couldn't dodge it with the agility of the green fox.

Yuan Ming quickly came back to his senses, his figure flew down, and his hands grabbed the green fox's neck.

The green fox's vision had not yet recovered, and he instinctively sensed the danger, jumped to the side, dodged Yuan Ming's grasp, and took advantage of the situation to bite Yuan Ming's arm.

Yuan Ming's grasp was a false move, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly shrank his arm, so as to avoid the fox's bite.

"The green fox that is not injured is really difficult to deal with." He muttered to himself, turned and ran off into the distance.

The green fox shook his head and quickly recovered.

It was really enraged by Yuan Ming, its green eyes flashed with bloodthirsty and fierce light, and it roared in a low voice, and immediately chased after it.

The speed of the white ape that Yuan Ming transformed into running on his legs was far inferior to that of the green fox, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed to less than ten zhang.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Yuan Ming jumped onto a big tree next to him, climbed up in three or two, and after beating his chest with a single fist at the green fox below, he began to leap forward on the tree.

Qinghu was stunned for a moment, but was completely enraged by Yuan Ming's provocative behavior, and still followed behind reluctantly.

Yuan Ming did not rush forward, and from time to time attacked the green fox with stones, so as not to retreat halfway.

The green fox was naturally provoked to roar from time to time.

The two chased and fled, and soon came to the vicinity of the yellow armadillo's lair.

The yellow armadillo was feeding a few cubs in the burrow, and when it heard movement outside, it immediately flew out.

Yuan Ming had been paying attention to the situation near the armadillo's nest from afar, where the bushes had just moved, and he immediately dodged and hid behind a dense leaf.

In the mountains and forests, only the roaring green fox remained.

The territory was invaded by the green fox again and again, and this time the green fox actually came to the vicinity of the nest, the yellow armadillo's eyes were almost on fire, and a layer of yellow light emerged from the body, and it went straight to the green fox.

Only then did the green fox realize that something was wrong, and turned around and fled without saying a word.

However, the yellow armadillo was already furious, and under the full force of the killing, it caught up with the green fox in a few breaths, and the two iron hook-like claws turned into two black afterimages and grabbed them fiercely.

The green fox could not avoid it, and turned back to face it.

The two fierce beasts fought together in an instant, and the roar of the beast echoed in the mountains and forests, and even splashed up bursts of smoke and dust.

Behind the dense leaves, a trace of excitement flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes.

Half of his plan has been successful, and as long as the green fox is defeated and escapes, he will be able to profit again.

"No, there were two green foxes yesterday, they were able to escape, and now there is only one, will they be killed directly by the yellow armadillo?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of one thing, and his brain teaser turned.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a small sound, which was definitely not caused by the battle between the two beasts, like some kind of small beast chirping.

"The yellow armadillo is so angry, could it be ......" Yuan Ming had a thought, and quietly approached the yellow armadillo's nest, and soon came to a big tree in front of the nest.

He looked down through the gap in the leaves, a hint of joy on his face.

From this angle, you can faintly see the inside of the yellow armadillo's nest, where several armadillo cubs are huddled together and babbling.

"Sure enough." Yuan Ming said secretly, taking out a black stone from the package on his back.

The battle in the woods ended quickly, and as Yuan Ming had predicted before, the green fox didn't last long before he was completely defeated, his whole body was scarred, and one eye was even more blinded, screaming and fleeing.

Naturally, the yellow armadillo would not let it run away, and was about to chase after it.

A piercing whistling came from behind, and a black shadow headed straight for the armadillo's lair.

The yellow armadillo was furious, immediately gave up the green fox, kicked the ground with his thick legs, and turned into a yellow shadow and rushed towards the nest.

The black shadow did not hit the armadillo's nest, but hit a nearby tree with a loud "duh" sound, but it was a black stone.

The yellow armadillo froze there, its tall body sliding forward by inertia, overpowering a large area of bushes and grass.

Yuan Ming smiled slightly, jumped out of the hiding place, and chased after the injured green fox.

The yellow armadillo remembered the cubs in the nest, roared at Yuan Ming and the green fox demonstratively, and turned to burrow.

……

Yuan Ming quickly caught up with the injured green fox, calculated the distance, and jumped down from the tree like an eagle hunting.

The sound of the roar of fighting was heard again in the woods, and the dust was flying, and calm soon returned.

Yuan Ming stood up, patted the dust off his body, and couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth.

There were multiple blood marks on his arm, which was caused by the bite of the green fox when he was dying and counterattacking.

However, the green fox, who was already not lightly injured, also turned into a corpse, and his neck fell to the ground with a bent neck, and his neck was also broken.

Yuan Ming looked at his hands, stunned.

He used the same technique just now as yesterday to strangle the green fox with both arms.

He was quite skilled in this martial art of locking his throat, and when he was fighting, he subconsciously used it, and the same was true of the martial art of throwing stones before.

Although these two martial arts are simple, they are extremely compatible with the body of the white ape that they have transformed.

Yuan Ming took out the animal skin bag that stored blood, urged the mana to suck the green fox's blood dry, and turned it into a crystal blood ball, but did not continue the hunt, took the green fox corpse, and retreated in the direction of the canyon.

For the next three days, he practiced at night, and during the day, he tricked the green fox to the territory of the yellow armadillo, causing the two to fight, and then took the opportunity to hunt and kill.

Yuan Ming's luck was not bad, he was able to successfully hunt a green fox every day, and by the fifth day, he had successfully collected five copies of the beast's essence blood.

He tossed the blood storage beast skin bag in his hand, let out a sigh, and sat on the ground.

Although the process was a bit thrilling in the past few days, he finally completed the task on deadline.

The most difficult moment has passed, with the subtlety of the Nine Yuan Jue, his strength will also steadily improve, I believe that it will not be long before he can hunt those green foxes alone, and even challenge that armadillo may not have a complete chance of winning.

Yuan Ming rested for a while, then got up and returned to the other side of the canyon and hurried to the boulder boundary monument.

When he returned to the boulder, he found that Uru was already waiting, and that Largo, who had been with him, was still nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know where this guy's so-called safety is where he will do something, Na Lago hasn't appeared yet, most likely because of the bad luck." Yuan Ming took a deep look at Ulu, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and did not mean to greet him, but also meditated with his eyes closed next to the boulder.

At this moment, there were outsiders present, and he did not operate the Nine Yuan Technique, but only used his mana to probe the situation in his body.

A month passed, and the toxin of the Rotten Heart Pill gradually spread, and it had invaded his heart, and an area the size of a bowl at the mouth of his heart was faintly cold, and he was unconscious.

Yuan Ming has also tried to use mana to force out the toxin in the past few days, but unfortunately it has no effect.

This is also normal, Biluo Cave is an immortal cultivation sect, and the use of poison is naturally not something that he, a person who has just cultivated for a few days, can easily crack.

"I hope that the fire will be faithful and give an antidote." Yuan Ming thought secretly in his heart.

It didn't take long for a gray shadow to appear in the distance, quickly approaching.

Yuan Ming was no stranger to this object, and suddenly got up, and Ulu, who was not far away, also opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.

The gray shadow soon came closer, and it was the gray bird of Elder Calling Fire, hovering slightly in mid-air, landing on the boulder, and the figure of Elder Calling Fire floated down from its back.

"Elder Flame!" Yuan Ming and Uluqi saluted.

"Show me the blood storage bag." Elder Huhuo didn't say anything, and said straight to the point.

Yuan Ming was about to speak, but Ulu next to him took a few steps forward and presented the blood storage bag.

Elder Huhuo swept the contents of the bag, nodded, and took out a jade bottle and threw it to Uru.

"This month's antidote, take it."

"Thank you, Elder Huhuo!" Ulu was overjoyed, pulled out the cork of the jade bottle, poured out a light red pill from it, raised his head and swallowed it, his tense face relaxed.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming also handed over the blood storage bag, and after Elder Huhuo glanced at it, he didn't say anything, and also gave him an antidote pill.

Yuan Ming raised his head and swallowed, only to feel that a hot current suddenly rose from his lower abdomen, offsetting most of the cold poison, returning to the state he was in when he first took the Rotten Heart Pill a month ago, and his heart and pulse also returned to normal.

This made him secretly relieved, it seems that this Elder Huohuo is still trustworthy, at least if he turns in the beast blood on time every month, there is no need to worry about the poison of this Rotten Heart Pill.

Without saying a word, Elder Huhuo took out a slightly bulging blood storage bag, and after collecting the essence blood in the bag of Yuan Ming and the others, he didn't wait for Yuan Ming and the others to say anything, and left on the bird again, which seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
