Chapter 275: Prey
Chapter 275: Prey
The white fox jumped back a few steps away, and then looked at Shen Shi carefully, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Shen Shi smiled, but for some reason his mood improved, pointed to the Flying Snow City in the distance, and said to the white fox: "I'm going to enter the city, it's full of people, do you want to come with me?"
The white fox glanced at the city in the direction of his finger, obviously hesitated, screamed twice, raised one foot as if to move forward, but finally fell in place and did not move forward. Shen Shi smiled, but he didn't care, but this lonely and cold return trip to the snowfield, because having this white fox with him did have a little more warmth, which made him feel not so sad.
It's just that there is no banquet in life, not to mention the meeting in Pingshui, not to mention the different ways of man and beast?
He beckoned to the white fox and said goodbye, then turned around and strode towards Flying Snow City. The white fox looked at Shen Shi's back and seemed to understand something, but looking at the tall city in the distance, it was still a little afraid after all, although there was a little reluctance in his eyes, but after all, he still watched Shen Shi's back go farther and farther.
This place is outside the Flying Snow City, which is already the outermost edge of the Far North Snow Field, and the White Fox has always lived in the depths of the Snow Field and has never been here. There were still snowflakes in the sky, but the snow was so small that it couldn't compare to the bursting snow in the depths of the snowfield, and the snow on the ground was so thin that in some places you could even see the bare ground.
The white fox suddenly found that everything here was so unfamiliar.
It raised its head and shouted twice more at the sky, looking a little confused, and after a while, it suddenly noticed that in the distance in the other direction of this snowfield, there seemed to be two Terran figures similar to Shen Shi, walking over.
Following Shen Shi along the way, the white fox was already familiar with the shadow of the human race, so after hesitating for a moment, it was a little cautious, but it still couldn't help but slowly lean towards the two figures.

Shen Shi walked alone on the snow, walked for a long time, and could feel that there was indeed no movement behind him, thinking that the snow fox should really not follow this time. He didn't say anything about loss in his heart, but it was just a beast that had some contacts under the coincidence of fate, but he had been with him for a few days, and it could be regarded as accompanying him through the most disappointing days after leaving the sect, which could be regarded as a little friendship.
But that's all there is to it.
He laughed a little, thinking that if he had raised a stupid pig that had to be lazy before, it would be okay to raise a fox again, wouldn't it be asking for trouble!
In a hurry, they soon approached the gate of Flying Snow City, which is adjacent to the Far North Snow Field, and although the climate is cold and snowy, there are many people living here. When there are many people, it is natural to beg for a living, even if they are monks. So it didn't take long for Shen Shi to see some figures walking around the city, these were mostly casual cultivators, and some of them were walking opposite Shen Shi, looking in the direction, they were going to the snow field.
Although the bitter cold environment of the Extreme North Snow Field is harsh, there are indeed a lot of spiritual materials under the snow on the Snow Field, including some rare monsters living on the Snow Field, and only here can it be produced, so there has always been no shortage of people who explore and hunt for treasures here.
It didn't take long for two monks to come over and pass by Shen Shi.
One of the two men was a strong man in his thirties, and the other was a young man in his twenties, and when the two sides met, they both looked at each other. Shen Shi obviously felt that there was a sense of scrutiny in the eyes of these two people, which were not particularly gentle and friendly, but they did not show any special hostility for the time being.
Shen Shi didn't pay much attention to this, unlike the disciples of the sect who had been cultivating on Jinhong Mountain all the year round and did not understand the sorrows of the world, in the past years, he often traveled and explored outside the sect, and he knew very well about these scattered cultivation things. Many times when I walked in the wilderness, I was lawless, and I couldn't rely on anything but myself. In this case, all the wandering monks are extremely wary of the others they meet, because you don't know if the next moment the person who looks gentle and harmless will suddenly turn around and slash you mercilessly, and his purpose may be just because you have just dug up a spiritual grass, or maybe he just takes a fancy to the bag of ruyi that you have exposed.
Even the two monks who had just walked over, in the eyes they had just examined, Shen Shi didn't know if if they judged that they were a person with a very weak Dao line, the gaze that was originally just scrutinizing would immediately turn into a look full of murderous intent.
But maybe it was because he came out of the snow field alone, and the two monks seemed to be a little jealous of this, so nothing happened to the two sides, and they passed by. It's just that Shen Shi's ears and eyes are far above ordinary people at the moment, and after taking a few steps, he still heard a few low conversations coming from behind.
"Big brother, look ......"
"Forget it, don't be too troublesome. This person walks alone in the snowfield, and it may not be easy to mess with. ”
"Well, okay. I hope we can have better luck today and find a few spiritual materials for some spiritual crystal cultivation. ”
"Don't worry, don't look at the cold in the snowfield, but there are a lot of good things on it, as long as we go a little deeper, maybe we will gain a lot......"
The voice grew quieter, and at last it became inaudible, and it was evident that the two monks had gone far. Shen Shi's footsteps did not stop, and he walked all the way to Flying Snow City.
It wasn't until he finally stood in front of the gate of Flying Snow City, looking at the sturdy and heavy city wall, thinking that it was from here that he and a few other companions walked to the snowfield not long ago, and in a short period of time, it seemed that the world had been turned upside down.
He stared silently for a moment, shook his head slightly, and was about to step forward, but at this moment, he suddenly paused, as if he thought of something, suddenly frowned, and then turned around slowly, but he took a deep look in the direction of the snowfield.

White snowflakes fell from the sky like white pieces of paper falling on the snow. It's just a mess of footprints that trample a clean snowfield, and black sludge is turned up in many places, which suddenly makes the surrounding land dirty.
The two figures stood there, smiling at each other.
The strong man stretched out a powerful arm almost as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, and grasped a thick furry tail in his palm, but he was carrying a white fox upside down, and laughed: "What did I say, I am really lucky today." This kind of snow fox is in the depths of the snow field on weekdays, where there are many demon beasts, and we don't dare to enter it. Today, I didn't expect to catch this beast in this marginal place. ”
A young man standing beside him was also smiling, his eyes were on the fox who was constantly struggling but unable to break free, and his snow-white fur was stained with a lot of black mud and became dirty and ugly, and said with a smile: "What the eldest brother said is very true. Although this white fox is not a high-level demon beast, this fur is deeply loved by the female cultivators over there in Tianhong City. After I slaughter and skin it, I can exchange it for at least fifty spirit crystals when I return to Flying Snow City. ”
The strong man sneered, with a look of disdain, glared at the young man, and said, "I don't understand, right, you haven't seen the world at first glance." The most particular thing about this snow fox's fur is that it is as bright as new, once you kill this fox, the blood flow will not be smooth, and the color will be a little duller, which is not good. Come here, you hold on to it, and I'll peel it off alive with its snow-white fox skin. ”
The young man let out an "ah" and hurriedly walked over, and said with a smile: "I see, it's still the eldest brother who has a lot of knowledge......
