Chapter 48: The Fox in the Woods
"What's that?"
As soon as Chen Mu's words fell, the fiery red figure flashed out from behind the tree again.
This time, Chen Mu finally saw it clearly-
It turned out to be a little six-tailed!
A ...... The six tails of the fire system.
Seeing the six-tailed fire system on the snowy mountain, this encounter sounds a bit magical at first glance.
But thinking of Ryoko's complaint last night and Chen Mu's own personal experience a few hours ago, it was not difficult for him to understand this scene now.
"Is that the Six-Tails who were released?"
Ryoko raised her head when she heard the voice, looked in the direction Chen Mu was looking, and soon saw the bright fiery red as well.
"Yes."
As she spoke, she rolled over from Duduli's back, half-crouched down, and clapped her hands.
I saw that the little six-tailed soon ran over, wagging his tail and rubbing her trouser legs affectionately.
It's like a little milk dog that has seen its owner.
The six tails are foxes, and foxes are canines, so it seems okay to think about it.
"Does he know you?"
Chen Mu was surprised.
Ryoko touched the silly hair on the top of the little six-tailed head and explained, "Several litters of six-tails in this forest know me, and many of them are picked up by me from other places on the mountain and brought to this forest.
When I'm patrolling the mountains alone, I often take a detour to see them and bring them something to eat along the way. ”
"Why don't you try to send them down the mountain?" Chen Mu then asked.
Ryoko shook her head regretfully.
"I've tried, but it doesn't work, the ones with beautiful coats and outstanding potential have long been picked up, and the rest of the litters are not wanted.
The elven center in the town doesn't accept it, so it's better to let them wander around the city and bring them back to the woods, at least they have companions here. ”
Chen Mu could only be silent.
The reality is very realistic.
No matter how cute an elf is, it depends on the potential of the individual.
Come to think of it, those who released the animals were just trying to be self-satisfied, and they would definitely not buy any good elves.
In fact, these six tails were lucky, because they met Ryoko and were led to settle down in the only warm taiga forest in the col.
In the past few years, many other six-tails have been released in other places on the snowy mountains, and many of them will not survive the first winter on the mountains if they do not find a forest to hide from the snow in time.
Releasing life irresponsibly is actually more brutal killing!
Next, the two settled the batch of newly received acorns, and then Chen Mu simply followed Ryoko and went to visit the six-tailed ones in this forest.
Along the way, Ryoko broke the dry food in her hand from time to time and gave small pieces to the six tails around her to eat.
The little one wagged his tail as he ate, showing an extremely satisfied expression.
This is probably the most memorable warmth they have tasted in this strange snowy region.
It can be seen that Ryoko really likes these fiery red little foxes.
It's a very healing image just to look at.
After eating a few pieces, Ryoko fed the six tails again and stopped swallowing, but took the dry food in her mouth and trotted along the way.
"What is he doing?" Chen Mu asked curiously.
Ryoko, who often gets along with these Six-Tails, quickly replied: "He is planning to bring back the food to share with his companions, the Six-Tails here are very united, maybe the harsh environment makes them more rare to be their fellows." ”
This couldn't help but make Chen Mu have a better impression of these cute little foxes.
It's just that accidents always seem to come unexpectedly.
It didn't take long for the six-tails beside Ryoko to suddenly prick up his ears in alarm, and then as if he had discovered something serious, he didn't want the food in his mouth, he spread his legs and ran forward, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
The Hinayana dragon on the side quickly lowered his head and quickly picked up the dry food that had fallen from the six tails.
It's always shameful for snack food to be wasted!
If something falls to the ground, it can be picked up and eaten within three seconds.
But at this time, except for his clumsy snack goods, the attention of the people around him was obviously not on the small piece of dry food that had fallen.
"What happened?"
As soon as Chen Mu asked a question, he saw Ryoko's face change, and then quickly released a magic wall puppet.
"Wall puppet, you're here looking at Duduli! Wind speed dog, let's go! Check it out! ”
The depths of the dense forest with complex terrain are no longer suitable for riding, so Ryoko chooses to leave the mount to the human Demon Wall Doll to take care of, and she quickly chases after it.
Seeing this, Chen Mu directly picked up Yibu, and also explained to the magic wall puppet: "Help me make one too, thank you." ”
After saying that, he also left Duduli and beckoned Chenglong to chase after him.
Leaving the magic wall puppet slightly in place, he nodded, "Command...... Received, acted...... Confirm! ”
If Chen Mu hadn't gone far, he would inevitably have to praise him at this time: I didn't expect that Sister Liangzi's magic wall puppet was quite trendy, and she even learned two sentences of human language.
They quickly chased the six tails in front of them!
didn't run far, and soon the two of them discovered the reason for the six-tailed gaffe-
There were many signs of battle in the trees ahead: charred branches, and splinters of ice.
Continuing to search for these traces of battle, they soon found many wounded and fallen to the ground.
They looked like they had just gone through a terrible battle.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu not only saw the fiery red fire six tails here, but also saw the snow-white snow ice six tails.
"This is the six tails on the mountain?"
He asked Ryoko.
Ryoko nodded, "Yes, I heard the local old man say that if those snowy six-tails on the mountain meet the same clan that has been released, even if the attributes are different, they will try to help as much as possible, I have never seen it before, I didn't expect this kind of thing to really happen." ”
This is really a kind and loving race.
However, it seems that these two six-tailed groups with different attributes have encountered a common enemy not long ago.
"What struck them?"
Ryoko's gaze lingered for a moment on the claw marks on some nearby tree trunks.
"It's supposed to be Matula! In the middle of the snowy region, the wild Matura is the most fond of hunting the six tails. ”
At this time, there was another anxious cry of six tails in front of him.
The six-tailed one that the two of them first saw at the entrance of the forest was still ahead at the moment, and did not stop.
None of his wounded companions in the surrounding area could stop him.
This made Chen Mu suddenly have an ominous premonition.
"That guy Matura isn't going to leave yet, is he?"
Ryoko glanced at him, and soon Chen Mu understood: the two wanted to go together.
"Let's go! Keep up! ”
"Good!"
Although hunting is a part of nature, at this time, Chen Mu has to admit that he still hopes that these six-tails can survive!
