Chapter 328
"Wow - where did you get such a horrible thing?" A little fox with white fur covered its mouth. Two of its three big white fluffy tails were wrapped around itself, and one was on its head. It questioned the black "stick" in front of it, "You didn't make this up yourself, did you?"
"No way!" the black stick protested loudly, "A hundred years ago, a monster that could transform played a trick on me. I fought him for three hundred rounds to resist, but because I was young, he buried me in the ground. He even placed tributes in front of my grave. It really pissed me off!"
——Although the roast rabbit was delicious, it could still be ordered again.
The black stick complained bitterly: "When I finally climbed out with great intelligence, it started to rain. For a whole hundred years, the mountain where I lived has never been sunny again!"
Even though it is a water-attributed monster, it cannot soak in water every day, and that water has a faint smell of blood!
"But am I the kind of beast that gives up so easily? I figured out that the problem was at the top of the mountain, so I've been trying to solve it for the past hundred years. But there seems to be something special at the top of the mountain, and I'm forced to go around in circles every time I go up there." The black stick sighed, "A few days ago I finally found a loophole and went up there, and I saw the things I told you about. Otherwise, why would I move overnight?"
Under the dark blue scales was flesh that had rotted and blistered to a white color. Under the already mottled horns were green eyes that stared straight at him. The eyes were larger than if it stood up on the tip of its tail… In the midst of thunder and lightning, it is no exaggeration to say that Xuanwu was frightened and cried. The pitch-black little snake cried while desperately dragging its heavy body, and crawled away from the mountain where it had lived for a hundred years under the stars and moonlight.
For the past hundred years, it was trapped on the mountain where it lived, unable to go up or down. But after reaching the top of the mountain, it suddenly found that it could leave the mountain. Although it did not understand those strange spiritual rules, through a hundred years of hard work, it knew how to avoid them!
The little snake, dragging the turtle's body all the way across a thousand miles, finally stopped, frightened out of its wits. Due to its rapid escape, it was extremely hungry and could not help but steal some delicious tender meat wrapped in leaves in a tree hole, and was then caught by the owner of the meat.
After being chased and beaten by the snow-white three-tailed little fox, the dizzy little snake hid in its own turtle body, listening to the banging sounds of its shell and the angry scolding of the little fox:
"It's shameless to steal other people's things!"
Bang, bang, bang———!”
"That's the feast I prepared after I killed eight prey!"
“Bang, bang, bang—!”
"You didn't even leave a piece of meat for me to eat!"
“Bang, bang, bang—!”
…
There is a rhythm to the beating of the wind and rain.
Finally, the little fox was tired of fighting. It squatted beside the black turtle of Xuanwu and said sinisterly: "I don't believe you won't come out!"
The little snake curled up in the turtle's body trembled first, then wiped its tears with the tip of its tail. A crying voice suddenly rang out, and it recounted its miserable life for the past hundred years. Although it sounded unbelievable, its emotions were too rich, and the pain was almost overflowing. The little fox took finally a step back doubtfully, and asked Xuanwu to come out and have a good talk with it, which led to the previous scene.
"I swear I didn't lie to you!" The gluttonous Xuanwu looked at the undisguised suspicion on the furry face of the little fox in front of him, raised his face which was so dark that he couldn't see his expression at all, and said sincerely, "It really rained for a hundred years on the mountain where I live, and there is indeed a dead monster on the top of the mountain. His head is bigger than ten of me stacked together. It's scary..."
"It doesn't sound like you're lying to me - wait!" The little fox, who was almost led astray by him, came to his senses, "What does this have to do with you stealing my food!"
The dark Xuanwu explained in a low voice: "I ran too fast and I'm very hungry..."
Little Fox: “…”
"I don't care if you're starving or not, you have to return my prey anyway!" It said fiercely, "From today on, you have to give me the best piece of meat from the ten prey you catch, and the extra two pieces are interest!"
Xuanwu, who was shaped like an olive, nodded immediately: "I will definitely pay you back!"
"Well, let me tell you, when you catch something, give me the best meat, wrap it in leaves and put it in this cave."
The little fox was very good at grasping other people's emotions, and after calming down, it naturally did not think that Xuanwu was deceiving it. In view of Xuanwu's miserable condition, it decided to show mercy and spare the little snake in front of it, whose eyes were so dark that one could not see them, for a while.
Because the food was eaten by Xuanwu, the little fox was ready to go hunting for new food. Suddenly, he heard Xuanwu behind him calling him: "Um, do you have a photo stone?"
"Yes." The little fox asked doubtfully, "What do you want the shadow stone for?"
"I'll go back to that mountain and take a picture of what I saw to prove that I didn't lie!" Xuanwu jumped onto his turtle body with great effort and made a great determination, "I want to prove that I really didn't steal the food you stored on purpose!"
The little fox was actually a little frightened by the scene described by Xuanwu, so he was also full of curiosity. He squatted there and thought for a while, then dug out an oval photo stone from his tail hair: "Here you go."
After giving it to me, it threatened fiercely: "Don't even think about running away with my photo stone and my flesh. If I catch you, you'll be dead!"
"Yeah!" Xuanwu's snake head pointed out the afterimage, "The cubs don't lie to the cubs!"
After stuffing the photo stone into the turtle's body, it asked again: "What's your name?"
The little fox said coldly, "You will be qualified to know only if you bring back my photo stone and meat."
So, with a full belly and a newly acquired photo-taking stone, Xuanwu built up his courage and returned to the mountain that scared him so much that he kept climbing. Fearing that the crawling route would become waves, Xuanwu dragged his heavy body on the tip of his tail and returned to the top of the mountain in the pouring rain. After meeting the pair of huge and terrifying pale blue eyes, Xuanwu collapsed in front of the eyes.
Xuanwu: TAT
It's really scary.
It lifted the photo stone with the tip of its tail trembling, recording the evidence it was going to show to the little fox. As it crawled in the heavy rain, it suddenly found that the rain had eased.
Is the rain going to stop?!
Xuanwu couldn't help but get excited. After all, this was the mountain where he had lived for a hundred years and he still had feelings for it. If the environment wasn't so harsh, he really wouldn't want to move away.
When recording the position of the giant monster's tail, Xuanwu suddenly felt the stone beneath him vibrate. He blinked in confusion and suddenly found that the stone on the top of the mountain was dancing - it didn't eat the mushrooms!
Xuanwu stared blankly for several seconds, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn't the rocks dancing, it was just a landslide... Landslide?!
Xuanwu opened his eyes wide, which were so dark that nothing could be seen, and with an "ah" he dropped the photo stone, then rolled and crawled into the turtle's body. Before it could make any further reactions, the entire mountain disintegrated and collapsed in an instant. The rain that had just subsided began to pour down again, and coupled with the rumbling of the landslide, it seemed as if it was going to destroy the world.
…
The little fox waited and waited, until his fourth tail was about to grow, but Xuanwu still didn't come back.
At first, the little fox thought that Xuanwu had taken its photo stone and ran away, but after a long time, it started to worry that Xuanwu might have encountered danger outside and was late.
After waiting for another seven sunsets, the little fox decided to look for it according to the direction described by Xuanwu. If there was a mountain where it rained continuously for a hundred years without stopping, it would definitely be very conspicuous.
The little fox dried the meat and put on a small bag. He followed Xuanwu's description and found the location he had described.
Nothing.
The little fox only saw endless hills, no dark clouds, no heavy rain, and certainly no mountain that Xuanwu had mentioned.
The little fox did not give up and searched again along the direction Xuanwu mentioned, but he still could not find the mountain he mentioned. He finally realized that he had been deceived! There was actually a cub who could deceive more than a fox! It was simply unreasonable!
Good intentions don't go well. The ferocious little fox burst into tears in anger. It firmly remembered this dark history and decided to close its heart and lock its love from now on and never trust anyone again.
The little fox ate the dried meat in his bag with tears in his eyes. After wiping his wet fur, he decided to leave this sad place.
After this incident, it made great progress. From then on, the little fox would fool others and no one would fool it.
When the sixth tail grew, the homeless little fox finally found a satisfactory habitat. There were gentle mountains, green grass, and a flowing stream. He walked along the stream until he reached the end of the stream. There was an extremely large tree at the end. The little fox looked up so high that he almost fell over, but he couldn't see the top of the tree.
The simple tradition in its mind told it that the tree in front of it was called a tea tree, but... could a tea tree grow so big?
The little fox was a little confused, but he was very satisfied with the tea tree because it was so magnificent.
It chose a location next to the tree trunk, attached spiritual power to its claws, dug a huge hole under the roots of the tree, then dug many large stones from the ground, ground them flat, and used them to pave the floor and inlay the walls. It also made itself a wooden door, and filled the gaps in the door with blooming flowers. The picked flowers would wither easily, so it would replace them with new ones every day.
After having a fixed residence, the little fox officially settled down here. After a while, it found that the branches of the tea trees were very strong, there was little dust and no insects could be seen.
Occasionally, the little fox would use a hidden formation to run to cities where humans live to observe how humans grow plants. There were many things that it didn’t quite understand, but that didn’t stop it from being confident. After noticing the characteristics of the tea tree branches, the little fox’s eyes lit up—wasn’t this a ready-made place to dry food?
In the past, when wandering around the wilderness, the little fox would hurriedly find a cave to live in temporarily every autumn. It would take some effort to clean the cave, and then stockpile food that it could eat until spring. When spring came, it would leave the cave and go to other places in the wilderness.
This time, having finally found a satisfactory residence, the little fox immediately arranged it according to his own ideas. With his agility, he caught a lot of prey, sliced the prey into strips, smeared salt on them, and hung them on the branches of the tea tree to dry.
It also cleared an irregularly shaped field not far from the big tea tree. Because it didn't know how to use the plow used by humans, the little fox chose to make itself bigger, then used its four paws to fix the field and its six tails to turn the soil, and its white fur turned into mud color.
The days passed in this repetitive and busy manner. The little fox became more and more skilled in slicing meat, rubbing salt on it, and drying it in the sun. However, he made no progress in farming. After working hard for a whole autumn, the little fox scratched his head and finally gave up farming.
When the first snowflake fell, the little fox had already filled two holes with food, half a hole with vegetables, and half a hole with dried fruits. The stone slabs of the cave were stuffed with warm grass, and the grass was covered with a thick colorful quilt - this was what the little fox got in exchange for ore dug out of the gold mine. He liked this color because it made his fur look particularly white.
The little fox squinted his eyes and spent time holding the dried meat. His laughter sounded like a baby's laughter. This was the cave he made by himself. He was really amazing!
After a whole winter, the little fox turned into a little fox barrel, which looked like a cylinder with a head, four legs and six big fluffy tails.
Pushing open the thick door of the cave, the little fox took a deep breath of the cool air and decided to go to the stream to catch some fish. After eating dried meat for the entire winter, it was a little bored with the vegetables and fruits it had to eat to change its taste.
When it caught a fish more than one meter long and dragged it back happily wagging its tail, it found... its home was gone, leaving only a huge deep pit.
Little Fox: “???”
It is such a majestic tea tree? !
How could it be such a sprawling, underground palace-like home?!
Is it still dreaming because of the winter sleep?
The little fox whose home was "stolen" dropped the fish in its mouth, and with its six tails stretched out like Hot Wheels, it quickly rushed to the edge of the pit and poked its head out. With the fox's good vision, it saw a good-looking man sitting cross-legged in the pit. His appearance was particularly in line with its aesthetic taste, but this was not the point. The point was the familiar stone slab under the man's butt - that was the wall of its cave!
And underneath that slate, there is its favorite big green and red quilt this winter!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh———
The little fox let out a sharp cry, exerted force with its four paws, and used its six tails as a parachute to jump into the pit. Then it bounced and hit the culprit in the face, and was then smoothly grabbed by the culprit's palm.
The little fox pawed at the air with all four of its paws: "......?"
"Put me down, ahh ...
It even saw its dusty dried meat in the gaps between the stone slabs. Although it was tired of eating it, it was still food, precious food!
"Calm down first." The little fox heard the culprit say, "I will definitely compensate for the damage I caused."
The little fox's claws paused as they struggled. The dusty memories from long, long ago mercilessly slapped it in the face. The loving little fox recalled his past dark history of trusting the cub, and felt as if the sky had fallen.
Instead of being comforted, it became even angrier: "If I hadn't come back in time, you would have run away with my food! And my favorite big green and red quilt, it's so beautiful, so pretty, and so soft, you must like it too—"
Following the little fox's claws, I saw the culprit, the quilt buried deep in the stone slab: "..."
Although his mind was blank at the moment, he felt that given his aesthetic taste, he would not like such a bright green and red quilt.
The little fox's belly swelled with anger. It then realized that the man in front of it could easily subdue it. It might, probably, definitely could not defeat the culprit in front of it.
The little fox felt that the sky was falling even more violently, and there was even going to be a heavy rain.
The little fox's head spun around for a few seconds, and then he stopped threatening to attack. With tears in his eyes, he asked pitifully, "You said you would compensate me for my loss. Is that true? Are you deliberately lying to me to make fun of me?"
The little fox is very good-looking. The weight it gained in the winter only makes it look more adorable, and its fur has been all blown up during the journey, making it look even fluffier.
Seeing the culprit's expression, it became serious: "You calculate the losses and I will compensate you."
This was what the little fox was waiting for. It twisted its body left and right and found that the person in front of it did not restrain it. It jumped onto the ruins and saw the mess. Its two tails circled around it, one on the left and one on the right, and covered its eyes.
Some of the dried meat is still edible after washing, while some has been smashed into pieces.
The little fox used its tail as a cover to stealthily glance at the culprit. It thought about the amount of dried meat it had left, and then it cautiously opened its mouth and said, "I don't have more than 200 dried meats left. You just need to compensate me with 200..."
Foxy is not good at math, so he accidentally multiplied the number by four or five times.
After it finished speaking, it saw the culprit next to it smile, as if it was sneering.
Little Fox: “……?”
Before it could reflect on whether it had reported too many, it felt its skin on the back of the neck being lifted up. The "sucker" it had chosen waved his hand, and all the stone slabs flew out of the pit, revealing its big green and red quilt, dirty jerky and some scattered dried fruits.
The little fox sensed the flow of spiritual energy, and the dried meat at the bottom of the pit flew up and formed several rows in front of it. Even if the broken parts were counted individually, the total number was no more than sixty.
The little fox, who failed in his attempt to cheat, tucked his tail tightly in embarrassment: "You know, I lost my mother when I was young..."
The culprit holding it obviously didn't buy it: "Exotic beasts are born and raised by the earth. Are you saying that the way of heaven is gone? Or that the wilderness is gone?"
The little fox gave up and said, "I'm not good at math, okay?"
"Woo, woo, woo———" It pretended to wipe away tears, "Don't you allow stupid cubs to exist in this world?"
The little fox's eyes blurred, and the person in the pit took it out of the pit. The person carrying it placed it on a clean stone slab and then stared at it without saying a word.
The little fox used its six tails to wrap itself into a ball, leaving only a pair of very beautiful eyes exposed. It whispered, "Or, or you can just give me the damage..."
Foxy's heart is bleeding!
It swore! When it could transform into a human form, it would definitely settle accounts with the person in front of it!
It is a beautiful fox that holds a grudge!
In Linghu's suffocating silence, the little fox blinked and said in a weaker voice: "How about you not pay for it? I will just pretend I didn't see it today?"
This culprit wouldn't destroy its home and then kill its cubs, right? !
The clever fox had many terrifying ideas in his mind. When he was gathering strength with his tail and preparing to escape, he suddenly saw the man in front of him patting his head. A look of pain and confusion flashed across his face, and then he swayed and fell in front of the little fox.
The little fox's six tails all exploded!
Because it was frightened, it became even more fluffy. The little fox first ran over to try the breath of the person fallen in front of it. After finding that there was breath, it slowed down its pounding heart.
Why are there still some aliens who are so unreasonable and cheating?
Wuuuuu, someone come and save it QAQ!
The dumbfounded little fox could only pick up a few stone slabs and put them together, then grew bigger and carried the person to the stone slab and placed him there, then he went to find some wood nearby and used his spiritual power to dry it and ignite it into a fire, then he put the fish on the rack, dug out the dirt and simply scraped the scales.
The little fox, who had been busy for no apparent reason, sat on the stacked stone slabs after finishing his work and fell into deep thought.
This man has destroyed his home, so why is it still busying around for him? Shouldn't it be ruthless and ruthless in cutting off the roots and eradicating all the evil?
The little fox thought for a long time with his clever brain before he came to the conclusion—
This man first destroyed its home and then was saved by it. Isn't it natural for it to repay the favor... Bah, bah, bah, isn't it natural for it to let this man repay the favor and return it the six hundred pieces of dried meat!
Hey! It is truly extremely smart!
The clever little fox was immersed in beautiful fantasies when he suddenly smelled a burnt smell, like something burning.
It locked its eyes on the source, and the expression on its face became terrified in the firelight—what was burnt was nothing else but the big fat fish it had placed on the fire!
The whole fish is on fire!
“Ahhh!”
The little fox let out a terrified scream, and it rushed forward to kick the big fat fish off the fire. The wooden stick with the fish on it drew a graceful arc in the sky and went straight into the soil, emitting black smoke.
The little fox opened its claws and poked the smoking fish with its sharp claws. A piece of black fish meat fell off the fish. It couldn't tell whether it was fish or charcoal. It took a tentative bite, and the expression on its face was distorted as if it was crazy.
It tastes terrible! It has never eaten anything so horrible!
The little fox glanced furtively at the unconscious person on the stone slab. It is said that unconscious people need to replenish their energy, otherwise... give this person the grilled fish it carefully prepared?
Ah~ It is such a kind little fox!
The little fox did as he said. He rolled up the charcoal-black grilled fish with his tail. But just as the grilled fish reached the unconscious man's cheek, the man's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
The dark roasted fish was reflected in his eyes, so the first words he said when he woke up were—
"Because I didn't compensate you in time, you plan to poison me?"
Little Fox: “???”
"How dare you slander me!" It bared its teeth that were blackened by the grilled fish. "This is the delicious grilled fish I made with great care!"
"I don't believe it." The man who was almost fed the burnt fish by him said calmly, "Your mouth is smoking."
The little fox was so angry that he threw the grilled fish into his face and said, "That's not smoke, that's fragrance!!!"
…
An hour later, the little fox held the newly acquired grilled fish in its paws and took a bite. It had to admit that what it had said before, "delicious grilled fish", was a little exaggerated.
"Ahem." The little fox cleared his throat. "This grilled fish can't compensate for my losses. It's just interest at best."
"Tell me—" the hungry little fox took a big bite of the grilled fish and asked in a slightly unclear voice, "What's your name?"
Previously, it was because it forgot to ask the name that it couldn't find the little black snake with a big black shell after searching for so long in the wilderness. It remembered this lesson well.
"My...name?"
The person being questioned was a little dazed, with bits and pieces of memories coming to his mind, but most of them were knowledge and common sense.
He vaguely realized that his previous consciousness must have been seriously injured. Now the injury has healed, but the lost memory cannot be restored immediately, and will probably be remembered slowly.
The little fox didn't know what the question was. He nodded as a matter of course: "Of course I'm asking for your name. What's your name?"
You can't just feed him back and forth, that's a bit rude.
Fragmented memories floated in his mind. He thought about it and decided to give himself a name on the spot.
"You can call me Jiamuying."
"Jiamu...Ying?" The little fox repeated blankly, then laughed out loud while holding the grilled fish, "Hahahahaha you are too narcissistic!"
Even if it knew it was the smartest fox in the world, it wouldn't be so shameless as to praise itself!
It looks like the person in front of me is a transformed alien, a transformed... alien? !
The little fox looked at the face in front of him that met his aesthetic standards, and then looked at the super deep pit not far away: "Don't tell me that you are the big tea tree?!"
The person in front of him nodded his head, wondering why it asked that question.
Little Fox: “…”
The little fox gnashed his teeth and said, "Why call me Jiamuying? I'll just call you Big Tea Tree!"
Damn it! If the tree had known it would transform so soon, it wouldn't have dug a hole there!
