Their seemingly haphazard swimming reveals a striking similarity: the direction in which they slowly swim.
Could these monsters be involved in some kind of conspiracy? Or are they being summoned by some force?
I would never have thought about this before, but now I can't help but think about it.
So it transformed back into its original form and followed in their direction, reaping as it went, much faster than when it had searched for them without any prior news.
The further it went, the thinner and more powerful it became. At one point, it encountered five great monsters at the same time.
It just so happened that it wanted to test its current abilities, so it started fighting with these five monsters, and the fight was evenly matched.
At this moment, it grew larger and slapped a monster to death. Then came the second, the third, the fourth, and finally the last one. The monster tried to run away, but it was eventually slapped to death by it as well.
It looked at its enlarged paws in amazement. It turned out that growing bigger had such advantages, much better than jumping around like before.
It was a bit of a waste for the demon beast. Now it had been slapped into a pulp. Disgusted, it went over and took out its demon core, wiped it clean, and then put it in its pocket.
It's already full, which means I have to go back.
Although it has become very powerful now, it is not sure if it will encounter any particularly powerful monsters if it goes further. Its mother is still waiting for it. What will happen to it if it perishes here?
It'll probably make you sad anyway, right?
Shaking his head to keep himself from drifting too far away, he then stepped back, ruthlessly stomping his way back.
Seeing it return from afar, the mother fox quickly went back to her original spot before it, pretending to be still fast asleep, and thus managed to fool the fox.
Seeing that it was still asleep, the fox did not disturb it. Instead, it placed most of the demon cores next to it and then planned to activate the power within the demon cores to enter the fox mother's body.
At this moment, the mother fox woke up, grabbed Lu Qi's hand, and stopped him from continuing this action.
"Little Seven, you can keep the demon core for yourself! Look, I'm fine now."
Lu Qi observed its complexion and, seeing that it had indeed regained its rosy hue, did not insist any further.
He awkwardly withdrew his hand, removed his sleeve, stood up, walked to the side, and then said:
"That's good. But there are a lot of demon cores. You can absorb some, but I can't absorb that many at once."
The tone of his voice was awkward, but his words conveyed concern.
The fox mother was very happy, but she still planned to save these demon cores for Lu Qi. She knew her own body and knew that these demon cores were of no use to her.
"It's alright, come here quickly, and I'll help you activate these demon cores so you can absorb them as soon as possible, so we can continue our next mission."
Lu Qi: ...
Although the mother fox had woken up, she hadn't slept for long. Was she going to continue so soon? Did she think she was a robot?
"We won't continue today. I've already gathered a lot of demon cores. I'll rest for the night and continue tomorrow."
“That works too. But first, you should absorb these demon cores. Tonight, I'll take you to absorb the light of the sun and moon. The spiritual energy here is plentiful, enough for you to improve your abilities.”
In any case, the fox mother's words always contained information about improving strength, which would annoy anyone if they heard it too often, making the originally warm atmosphere somewhat distant.
Lu Qi didn't feel annoyed. It just felt that the fox mother was a little tired of doing this. She hadn't done anything wrong, but she acted as if she was trying to make up for something.
This made it difficult for it. It was just a little awkward, and it could accept it as long as it talked to itself. However, every time it brought it up, the mother fox could always brush it off, which made it very uncomfortable.
Even though they are mother and child, the fox mother doesn't want to get too involved with it. It has become stronger now and is no longer a burden, so why should she distance herself from it?
Is there something it did wrong? Or is the mother fox planning to abandon it again?
The thought of this possibility made it not want to go there. What's the use of becoming stronger? It would still be abandoned anyway.
I'm an adult now, and I can't be willful anymore. If Mother Fox really wants to leave again, there's nothing I can do.
They sat down next to the fox mother and then absorbed the energy of the demon core together.
"How much more of this demon core do we need to absorb? Although there are many demonic beasts here, won't what we're doing disrupt some kind of balance?"
As it sees today, this place appears peaceful and serene, but it's as if there's always a potential danger that hasn't yet materialized, so it hasn't been noticed.
"It won't be long. After absorbing just as much as today, you'll start absorbing natural energy, otherwise it will cause your body to explode."
"good."
Lu Qi felt that he was already very powerful. He couldn't even estimate or control his own energy. Was it really a good thing to keep getting stronger like this?
It seems I need to take on more challenges, explore my abilities, and replenish my energy.
If the mother fox had experienced these things before, then she should have known that these phenomena would occur. So why didn't she react at all?
By the time it had absorbed most of the demon core's power, it was completely dark. Under the moonlight, it could feel the abundance of spiritual energy, which was very comfortable.
With just a little trickery, spiritual energy would continuously seep into his body and transform into his own energy.
The mother fox was also meditating, but as she meditated, she was explaining to Lu Qi how to completely absorb the spiritual energy.
A night passed quickly, and when Lu Qi opened its eyes again, they were blood red.
"Xiao Qi, you can now act on your own. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path. If you have time tonight, meditate using the method I taught you. Take this pendant; if you encounter any difficulties, you can use it to transmit your voice to me."
Lu Qi looked at the fox mother calmly, without showing any particular sadness.
"You're leaving, aren't you?"
These words, spoken expressionlessly, brought tears to the fox mother's eyes.
"Xiaoqi, I..."
"No need to say anything more. If you really want to leave, explaining further will be futile. Just go!"
Lu Qi turned around. He didn't know why the fox mother had to leave, but she must have something to do that she needed to accomplish.
Since we can't bring it along, saying more to it will only make it more sad and reluctant to part.
If it continues to listen, tears will involuntarily stream down its face.
