On the way back, Bai Feng looked at the nine-tailed fox that had grown bigger, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never asked what the nine-tailed fox was called.
So he asked the nine-tailed fox that was carrying Zuo Qiu on his back, "By the way, I don't think I've asked your name yet."
"I don't have a name." The nine-tailed fox shook his head. "My parents disappeared not long after I was born, and my grandmother didn't give me a name to save trouble, so she just called me Xiaojiu."
"Your grandma is quite casual, so I'll call you Xiaojiu." Bai Feng nodded, and then he continued to ask, "By the way, is your grandma still alive? Or are there other nine-tailed foxes?"
"No, I am the only nine-tailed fox left in the secret realm." Xiao Jiu shook his head again, "I am able to live until now because I have been sealed all these years. I did not wake up from the seal until the secret realm was connected to the outside world."
Bai Feng nodded slightly. It turned out that Xiaojiu was still an old popsicle!
"Then you may be the last nine-tailed fox in the entire world."
"Ah? There are no nine-tailed foxes in the outside world anymore?" Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment.
"There are also some nine-tailed foxes with thinner bloodlines, which only have three or four tails in the Nascent Soul stage. If you think they are nine-tailed foxes, then there are quite a lot of them."
“…”
Xiao Jiu fell silent. Just when Bai Feng thought it could not accept the reality, it suddenly raised its head and asked Bai Feng, "Um, are you and the master's sect strong?"
Bai Feng thought about the status of the Tianjian Sect and Tianyan Holy Land, then nodded: "Very strong."
Xiao Jiu asked expectantly, "If I join your sect, can your sect protect me from being captured by those so-called nine-tailed foxes? After all, you see, I am the last nine-tailed fox with pure blood. Those guys with impure blood will definitely try to capture me, and I am still very weak now, so I may not be able to defeat them."
“…”
I was still worried whether I was too direct just now.
However, Xiaojiu's worries are not unreasonable. If the group of foxes in the Southern Territory knew that there was a nine-tailed fox with pure bloodline here, they would definitely go crazy with excitement.
After all, this is the best and easiest opportunity to improve the racial bloodline.
"I don't think you need to worry too much. Don't you recognize Yue Yao as your master now? Tianyan Holy Land will definitely not let the monsters mess around."
"That's good!" Xiaojiu immediately felt relieved.
After a few seconds of silence, Bai Feng looked at Xiao Jiu and finally asked the question in his mind: "Xiao Jiu, you are already in the late Nascent Soul stage, right? You should be able to transform, right?"
"Yeah, but I'm not used to the way it looks after transformation."
Xiaojiu nodded. There was one thing he didn't say. He had heard some stories about the human race from his grandmother and other monsters that had lived longer. It seemed that there were many perverts in the human race. It seemed that many people liked to attack the monsters. He also heard that beautiful monster women were often sold in auction houses.
This is also one of the reasons why it has always maintained its demon body.
"Indeed, it's hard to suddenly change your habits."
Bai Feng nodded. Indeed, many monsters living in the mountains and forests would always maintain their monster bodies, and their behaviors would retain their pre-transformation habits. It was estimated that the Nine-tailed Fox had also become accustomed to living in the secret realm.
But he was not too disappointed. Although it was a pity that he couldn't see the little sister with fox ears, he could rub the fox and its nine big furry tails without any worries.
He thought so while secretly looking at the nine-tailed fox's tail.
Xiaojiu suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he looked around quickly, but did not see any enemy.
Could it be that the person behind the scenes who was using evil spirit to corrode the monsters has targeted it?
Thinking of this, it hurriedly moved closer to Bai Feng.
…
The camp of Chifeng Sect.
Zuo Qiu was sitting on a simple wooden bed, while Li Zhiyi was standing beside her, checking her injuries.
"It's nothing serious, just take a few days to rest."
"Well, thank you, Junior Sister Li." Bai Feng nodded, and then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, have you made the medicine that can cure the erosion of demonic energy?"
Li Zhiyi suddenly stopped moving. She stared at the ground, her tone becoming noticeably nervous: "Well, I don't know why, the effect of the treatment is a little poor, but don't worry, I will definitely make it better!"
"Don't be nervous. The demonic energy in the secret realm is indeed a little different from that outside." Bai Feng smiled and waved his hand to comfort him. "By the way, Zuo Qiu next to you also has some research on demonic energy. You can exchange some ideas with each other."
"Okay, okay!" Li Zhiyi nodded quickly.
After saying this, Bai Feng looked at Zuo Qiu who was lying on the "sickbed" and said, "Although it's not good to let you work while you're sick, this matter is indeed quite urgent. I need you to help keep an eye on the other people in the camp. If anyone has more demonic energy, remember to tell us."
"Yes, Master!"
Zuo Qiu nodded quickly. Instead of complaining, he felt a little excited - the master finally needs me!
Then Bai Feng continued to ask: "By the way, what did you encounter before? Why are there so many monsters chasing you?"
"I just have some guesses."
Zuo Qiu shook his head slightly and recounted everything that had happened to him, starting from when he was stopped by the disciples of the Lianshen Sect.
Ten minutes later.
"Are you saying that these monsters did not hurt you, but intended to capture you alive?"
Bai Feng listened to Zuo Qiu's story and fell into deep thought.
His guess was the same as Zuo Qiu's. The person who controlled the monster seemed to want to seize Zuo Qiu's divine body. If his guess was correct, then the person who controlled the monster was most likely without a body, or even just a remnant soul.
Then he glanced at the nine-tailed fox beside him. If this guess was correct, then the three monsters' attempt to capture the nine-tailed fox might have been because the person behind the scenes had set his eyes on the nine-tailed fox's body.
He stopped thinking at this point. He saw the fatigue between Zuo Qiu's brows, so he said, "Okay, you should have a good rest first. You don't need to worry about this matter. The only thing you have to do is to keep an eye on the other disciples and prevent those disciples who have been corrupted by the devil's energy from sneaking in."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Feng did not continue to disturb Zuo Qiu. He walked out of the room and looked at Yun Yueyao beside him: "Has Tian Yan left?"
"Yes, she went to inform the disciples of other sects and holy places." Yun Yueyao nodded, and then she sighed quietly, "I never thought that such a thing would happen in this secret realm. I thought I would be safe after becoming a spirit, but now I am a little unconfident."
Bai Feng smiled and joked: "Indeed, maybe it's an ancient monster causing trouble!... So what are you doing here?"
Yun Yueyao reached out and hugged Bai Feng. She raised her head slightly with a smile in her eyes: "Hey, should we improve it again?"
“…”
Not to mention that this is the Chifeng Sect’s camp, Bai Yumo is watching nearby!
At this time, Bai Yumo came over, but her face was not jealous and angry as usual. Instead, she lowered her head and reached out to tug at his clothes: "I also want to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage to help..."
Bai Feng: “?”
