Chapter 237 Big Ear Uncle
Everyone stood behind the light red barrier and saw the fox fire pouring down in front of them like a waterfall, but they did not suffer any harm and even felt a hint of warmth.
Gradually, the flames began to weaken and then died out.
Xiaohua took the snail and moved over bit by bit with difficulty, preparing to deal with the charred corpses.
He had started observing this group of people as early as the first level where the little red fox spirit was, and found that the men were okay, but the women and children had no fighting ability at all. They were just smart and knew how to run.
I thought it would be easy to deal with this time, but I didn't expect that the cat demon was so lucky that it could break through on the spot.
Fortunately, he borrowed the fox fire from Uncle Big Ear, otherwise he would have been killed by these people today.
He looked up and found that several people were still standing there, not even their sleeves were on fire.
"How, how is this possible!" Xiaohua couldn't believe her eyes, "How is it possible that you didn't get burned to death by the fox fire!"
Xu Chuchu and others also want to know this question.
The answer naturally lies in the pale red bead floating in front of everyone.
Its owner quickly ran to Xu Chuchu and took the bead back into his hand. It was the masked man who had been following them.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to help secretly, but I didn't get the chance," he said.
Gigi said in surprise: "Hey, you can talk!" He had never heard this man speak along the way.
"Don't talk nonsense." The master pulled Gigi aside and said nothing more.
Daju felt that the man's voice sounded familiar, but he didn't think much about it.
Only Xu Chuchu turned her head away and didn't look at him: "Thank you very much."
Hearing her words, the masked man took a step forward excitedly, then slowly retreated.
"This is a quenching bead that can resist the three true fires of the fox clan. Take it." He handed the red bead to Xu Chuchu.
The pale red beads, as bright as glass, occasionally flashed with light, as if there was an eye hidden inside.
Xu Chuchu shook her head: "Please keep the valuables safe, sir."
"What are quenching beads..." Xiaohua fell to the ground, unable to hold on, and said indignantly, "Nothing can resist fox fire, let alone our fox fairy's three-flavor true fire!"
"It has nothing to do with you." Xu Chuchu stood in front of him, "Now take us to see the fox fairy, don't play tricks."
It is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts. They have experienced this.
This time Xiaohua had no choice but to lead the way.
The big orange cat followed closely behind in a menacing manner to prevent it from doing any tricks.
Next came Master and Gigi.
Xu Chuchu and the masked man were the last to come.
The masked man walked restlessly, stealing glances at Xu Chuchu from time to time. He didn't dare to move too much and quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs.
I wasn't paying attention and kicked a rock. I stumbled and almost fell flat on my face. Fortunately, I managed to keep my balance.
Even so, his movements were still funny.
Xu Chuchu was also startled: "...Are you okay?"
"It's okay." The masked man pretended to be calm, thinking that it was a good thing that he covered his face, otherwise Xu Chuchu would see his face as red as a monkey's butt.
This time Xiaohua did not lead them into the dense forest, but went towards the cave.
After a long night, the morning sun gradually spread out.
From afar, there are pitch-black caves on the towering mountain walls. Unlike ordinary caves, these caves are not only decorated with green plants and flowers, but some are also hung with flags and human cloth. It seems that fox demons often go to the outside world to learn the human way of life.
Hearing the noise, many foxes or humans with fox ears in the cave poked their heads out, looked at them curiously, but quickly retreated.
As soon as they entered this area, everyone felt that their spiritual energy was much more abundant. In this environment, their minds became clearer and their bodies were no longer so tired. Even the injured Xiaohua had obviously recovered his breath.
No wonder there are so many fox demons here. Practicing in such an environment with abundant spiritual energy, even those with poor aptitude can easily reach the third or fourth level.
Like Xiaohua, even if she gave up half of her cultivation, she could still fight back and forth with the fourth-level Daju. I don’t know how powerful she was in the past.
"It's the power of the fox spirit." The master turned around and whispered to Xu Chuchu, "Be careful, it's not something we can deal with."
Xu Chuchu couldn't believe it: "How can a demon have such a great influence?"
"Strictly speaking, he is not a demon, but a half-immortal," said the master.
"You know him?!" Xu Chuchu was even more surprised. Her master had been here for the same amount of time as she had, and he was sick most of the time. How could he have been to Fox Mountain?
"Shh." The master made another gesture to silence the crowd.
The group passed through the caves of many fox demons and came to a place near the top of the mountain.
There is also a cave at the top of the mountain, but the cave below the entrance is much larger, and there are two young fox demons guarding the door.
These two fox demons transformed into human form, holding weapons, and should be learning how to be human guards. They learned it quite well, except that one of them had fox ears and one had a fox tail, which was quite funny.
When the two demons saw Xiaohua being held hostage by a group of humans, they became nervous, and one of them was shaking with his hands: "Who are you?"
Xiaohua cleared her throat and said, "Please tell Uncle Big Ear that I've captured the remaining people."
What a great “caught”! He doesn’t seem to be ashamed at all.
"Well, then you wait, don't let them run away!" A guarding fox demon turned around and ran inside. Seeing this, the other one did not dare to stay and caught up with its companion in a flash.
"What? You're so timid. Maybe the fox fairy isn't that great." Daju said disdainfully, totally forgetting that he was like this an hour ago.
The master smiled and shook his head: "Be respectful, Daju. Only when the leader is strong enough can the timid little monsters below have the opportunity."
Soon the two fox demon guards came back skipping and jumping: "Uncle Big Ear wants you to bring the person in."
"Okay..." Xiaohua cleared her throat that was pinched by Daju, "Come with me."
The cave was not as dark as everyone imagined. Instead, it became brighter and more spacious as one walked further.
The stone walls along the road were carved into gaps, and inside were various glowing stones. Xu Chuchu wondered if these were the legendary night-shining pearls or the work of a fox demon's unique magic.
After walking a little further inside, some faint sounds were heard.
“…I was so careless.”
"Fox Fairy, Fox Dad, Fox Boss... please let us go."
The voices became clearer and clearer. Wasn't that Taoist Priest Tian and Zui Wuqing? It turned out they weren't dead yet and had been captured as well.
I saw that this group of people were locked in a huge iron cage. A huge red-haired fox demon was lying beside the cage, seemingly resting, and completely ignoring Taoist Tian and his group.
It was as big as a small truck, but its fur was rough and its beard was drooping, and it looked like it was old.
A pair of big ears hung limply, covering the eyes.
"It's so big, is it a fox fairy?!" Gigi said nervously.
Xu Chuchu whispered, "It should be the Big Ear Uncle that Xiaohua mentioned."
