93 Spirit Foxes
"Unconsciously, Master Hua Liangchen is already 20 years old. Five years ago, the Great Elder predicted before his death that Master Hua Liangchen would not live past 20, and our clan would also be in trouble soon. Now it seems that the Great Elder has run out of energy and his stargazing ability has become disordered."
"The Great Elder has led our clan to avoid humans for hundreds of years and has never made any mistakes. Before his death, he was reluctant to leave and wanted to find a way out for us, but he could only sigh that it was hard to defy fate. Regardless of whether the prophecy was wrong, what the Great Elder did for us must not be forgotten."
Some foxes speak human language and look noble and beautiful. Their cultivation is not too high, but they have extraordinary intelligence. The Jindan cultivator quickly recognized that they are rare spirit foxes.
This is a top-grade spirit pet!
The Jindan cultivator is named Bao Longtao. At this moment, he is extremely excited, but his reason prevents him from acting rashly. Because Bao Longtao found that there were several spirit foxes in the late Jindan period squatting on a high place. He is only one person in the early Jindan period, so he can never be an opponent.
Bao Longtao roughly counted and found that there were at least a thousand foxes present, and there were more than a hundred snow-white spirit foxes. If he could catch all the spirit foxes and sell them to the disciples of the big sects... he didn't even bother to calculate how many spirit stones he could get, he just knew that he would be very successful.
"Huh?" Suddenly a fox looked over here, and Bao Longtao immediately retreated back into the bushes. He felt like he had been discovered, so he made a quick decision, used a smell-eliminating tool, left a subtle mark, and ran back immediately.
Not long after, two early Jindan spirit foxes came to the bush where Bao Longtao had stayed before. They sniffed around and one of them said, "Why do I smell a human scent?"
"It seems that there is, but ordinary human cultivators should not have the ability to break through the formation set up by the great elder, otherwise they would have broken in decades ago. The area we are in now is a place where Jindan cultivators cannot enter and Yuanying cultivators disdain to come."
"Just in case, report to the clan leader."
The two foxes returned to the campfire. Because the coming-of-age ceremony was going on, they decided to report later.
A white fox with bright white fur and an upright figure stood in the middle of the fox group. It was the protagonist of this evening party, Hua Liangchen.
Hua Liangchen is the son of the current clan leader. He is 20 years old this year. He has just come of age in the spirit fox clan. Today is his coming-of-age ceremony.
Several old spirit foxes took the lead in praying to the fox god, and then a group of foxes bowed to the campfire, chanting something in their mouths, as if thanking the fox god for his protection or something. Afterwards, the patriarch gave Hua Liangchen a special wreath and put it on his head, and the coming-of-age ceremony was officially over.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, some young female foxes began to flirt with Hua Liangchen, but Hua Liangchen did not look at them. Let alone the fact that the other party was not a spirit fox, but just an ordinary spirit beast, even if the other party was a spirit fox with the same noble bloodline, Hua Liangchen was still young and did not want to be bound by the family so early. He longed to become stronger and yearned for the outside world, instead of staying in such a place for survival like his elders, staying for dozens or hundreds of years, and then moving to another place when he felt unsafe.
Hua Liangchen felt that it was not really living, but simply not dying.
The last time he took his sister out, Hua Liangchen was punished, but he did not think he had done anything wrong. Instead, he was more determined to become stronger quickly and leave here to embrace the colorful world outside.
"Patriarch, we just found out..." Hua Liangchen was looking at the bright moon in the sky, thinking about where to go next time he went out, when he suddenly heard two uncles talking to his father.
Because Hua Liangchen was receiving a wreath just now, he was close to the elders, so he could hear it clearly.
The two uncles said that they found traces of suspected humans, but they couldn't tell whether they were humans.
"Humans? They can't come in, right? Even if they come in and find us, they can't be silent." The other uncles next to the patriarch began to discuss.
"Be careful, where did you find it?"
Soon, a group of spirit foxes came to the bushes. The human smell that the two early Jindan spirit foxes couldn't identify was now completely gone.
"It's strange. Is it an illusion?"
"It's very likely. You have been patrolling recently and haven't rested much. Now that the coming-of-age ceremony is over, Hua Liangchen should have calmed down and won't run around. You should have a good rest."
"One fox is an illusion, but two foxes have illusions at the same time. It's too coincidental." Hua Liangchen, who was following behind, spoke.
It remembered the young monk who saved it. At that time, the other party said that if their tribe found a trace of human breath, even if it was only a trace, don't hesitate and move immediately. At that time, Hua Liangchen thought it was incredible, but now it seems to have come true, and Hua Liangchen is a little uneasy.
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't sneaked out, wouldn't we have been so hard?" The two foxes laughed and scolded. They still loved Hua Liangchen very much, and did not blame Hua Liangchen for running away with his sister. They were just afraid that such a thing would happen again and they would lose their brother and sister.
"I can apologize to the uncles later, but there is one thing I must say now." Hua Liangchen recounted what happened at that time in detail.
As for why he didn't say it on the day he came back, it was because the other party's words were very inexplicable, and secondly, he didn't want the elders to know that he had stepped into a trap and was almost caught by humans.
However, if you say something early or say it late, the results will be significantly different.
No, Hua Liangchen's words were not recognized by the elders.
"Why do you kid always lie? Do you just want to go outside?" "It's so dangerous outside. I really don't know why you young people want to go out."
"I didn't lie, it was true!" Hua Liangchen was very nervous. Because he had been rescued before, he still trusted that human being, let alone a similar situation really happened now.
"You haven't lied yet? Such a lame excuse, you can tell it was just improvised."
"You are an adult now. Stop acting like a child. It's time to mature."
Facing the doubts and reprimands of her elders, Hua Liangchen began to feel powerless. It regretted it very much. It should have said it on the day it came back, so that it would not be regarded as a temporary lie now.
At this time, a smaller fox with soft and snow-white hair came over. It made a very delicate female voice: "Brother did not lie to everyone."
For this petite fox, the elders obviously had a lot more love in their eyes. They didn't even worry about Hua Liangchen's lie, but explained the trouble of the transfer.
"Transfer is not an easy task. First, you need to select a location, and then arrange a magic circle to avoid being discovered by humans. If you want to complete a safe transfer, you will have to prepare for several months."
"Yes, you are still young and don't know that besides us, there are other spirit foxes living in other places. We migrated from other places. The whole process is very difficult. Although the Lingyou Mountain we are in is rich in resources, The spiritual energy is sufficient, but the danger is not small. The great elder left us five years ago. Without his excellent astrology, we can't decide where to move for a while. "
