Chapter 39
Chapter 39
You'll never know how small a nine-tailed fox is until it's standing next to another.
Compared with the Nine-Tailed Fox that suddenly appeared, the one that Zhou Jiran had nicknamed 'Big Brother' was like a cub still suckling.
It is that the nine-tailed fox tribe does not seem to be very friendly to the cub. As soon as the big fox appeared, it knocked it to the ground with its tail, and rolled several times before it stabilized.
Then came the next tail.
After a few strokes, the 'big brother' was 'rolled' out of Qingqiu in such a disgraceful manner.
Out of the range of Qingqiu, the big fox turned around and disappeared. The nine-tailed fox, covered in grass leaves, lay on the ground and stared blankly at the cloud-shrouded Qingqiu, dazed and at a loss.
Zhou Weiran: "I'm afraid this cloud and mist is a layer of cover. I didn't see it in Qingqiu before. Our 'big brother' was kicked out, and there was no way out."
Tao Jiang felt that the big fox might not be the one who wanted to kill the fox. The little nine-tailed fox rolled out all the way with its tail whipped. Although it looked miserable, it was not injured.
......
Surviving outside is not easy, only Qingqiu can raise a stupid prey like Chi Chi.
Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang were fine, the red chicken meat roasted earlier was wrapped in leaves and strung together with straw ropes, and the two of them were hung together, and they could still eat for a while.
But the nine-tailed fox hadn't eaten for several days.
The outside world is exciting and sinister, and the mountain fox was targeted not long after it came out.
The opponent is still a flying soldier with wings, amphibious in the air, and properly suppresses the nine-tailed fox that can only rely on four short legs to keep it steady.
Fortunately, the other party was more involved in playing tricks. The two sides chased and fled one by one, and ran through many mountains and jungles.
Even the cubs of the Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't keep up with Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang's running speed. The two could only fall behind the Nine-Tailed Fox like a kite being let loose, often meeting the 'pilots' at close range.
Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see them, Zhou Jiran still felt a sense of sympathy when he faced its bloody maw.
It looks like a tiger, has wings, and cannibalize people from the beginning... This goddamn Qiongqi is one of the four legendary beasts!
Adding wings to a tiger, that's it.
Other beasts can eat humans, but this one likes to eat humans!
I don't know if it was the wrong tendon, the three-meter-high beast chased the cat-sized nine-tailed fox cub for a few days.Steel-like claws have shrouded the nine-tailed fox's head countless times, and the chase can be ended with a single touch, but every time this happens, it always presses the wrong way, and the cloud-like tail escapes from the poor claws. Flick through the cracks.
If it is said that this Qiongqi was not intentional, I am afraid that the exhausted Nine-Tailed Fox will not believe it.
In the eyes of the nine-tailed fox, this desperate journey may be just a game of cat and mouse in the eyes of Qiongqi.
Zhou Jiran was naturally on the side of his own 'Big Brother Fox', watching it barely recover its life from Qiongqi's claws again and again, he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, he tried to throw the roasted red meat until nine In front of Weihu, I wanted it to replenish some energy, but the meat disappeared without a trace as soon as it fell to the ground without stirring up the dust, as if it had never appeared before.
After several trials, they still came to the conclusion that they could only honestly be the air attendants behind the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox entered the jungle for the first time, Zhou was slightly relieved. He hadn't eaten for a few days, and the Nine-Tailed Fox had reached its limit, and its speed and movements were much slower than before.
Into the mountains and forests, it has a small body and can move freely. Qiongqi, who is more than three meters tall, does not want to be lost, so he can only retract his wings, shrink his body, and rampage in the forest, barely keeping up with his pace.
This mountain range is rolling with ancient trees, and the nine-tailed fox ran for a long time without reaching the end. The gap in physical strength is too great. Qiongqi is getting closer and closer, and the playfulness in its eyes has been replaced by a fierce light. It seems that it is also hungry.
If he is caught up this time, he will have to obediently enter Qiongqi's mouth and stuff his teeth.
The nine-tailed fox also sensed the urgency of the situation. It turned its head to look at Qiongqi who was not far behind, flicked its tail, and ran up the mountain.
"This is really... a desperate situation."
The strange rocks on the mountain were lined with trees, and the trees became more and more sparse. The white nine-tailed fox stood out among the rocks of Heixo Suo, and further up, there was no shelter at all.
Tao Jiang looked around the cliff and said, "I don't know why, but I have an intuition that it can escape."
"..." Zhou Weiran, "Of course it's the best. We were sent here by the bronze tripod for no reason. We can't leave the Nine-Tailed Fox and live by it. If it dies, we don't know what to do." do it."
Halfway up the mountain, there was even less soil on the ground, and the exposed mountain was hard rock, with no trees growing except for some weeds.
This is simply a natural hunting ground for Qiongqi who is chasing after him. It spread its wings again and rushed towards the Nine-Tailed Fox. The huge wings brought strong winds, and the bushes and weeds in the cracks of the rocks were blown up. Rolling down the mountain with Xuaner.
If it weren't for the sharp claws of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which caught the rock body in time, with its small body, it might end up with the weeds that were blown away.
Qiongqi waved his wings and stopped in mid-air, the nine-tailed fox was covered by its huge shadow, weak and helpless.
Zhou already couldn't bear to watch the bloody and brutal scene afterwards.
At this moment, the little nine-tailed fox still has a very strong desire to survive, and it walks back and forth between the rocks on all fours.Qiongqi didn't go down to the ground anymore, so he flapped his wings and hung in the air to watch the nine-tailed fox struggle needlessly.
Seeing this scene made Zhou feel suffocated. Although he knew that he couldn't help the Nine-Tailed Fox, he couldn't help but search for a way out that didn't exist: "...there is a cave there?!"
Maybe it is really a road that never ends. There is a man-high cave in the shadow on the side of the hard and steep cliff in front. It may be the residence of other beasts. Although I don’t know if there is another beast squatting in it, but now I can't care less.
The Nine-Tailed Fox had obviously seen the cave, and it sprinted a few steps towards the cave and jumped. This behavior completely enraged Qiongqi in the air, and it flapped its wings. Kankan touched the fox's tail, the nine-tailed fox struggled vigorously, and disappeared into the cave.
Hearing Qiongqi's angry roar outside, Zhou Jiran patted his heart and said, "It's so dangerous! I almost got caught!"
From the outside, the entrance of the cave is only one meter high, but there is a cave inside. I don't know what kind of beast dug out such a cave like a gourd.
"Then Qiongqi is going to sit outside and wait for the nine-tailed fox to run out on its own!" Zhou Ziran, relying on his current status as a 'wandering soul', boldly looked out, "This nine-tailed fox is really not enough. If it has a gap between its teeth, can't it be saved!"
Tao Jiang said: "Maybe it didn't have to be eaten at first, but after chasing it for so many days... it has an obsession."
Row.
After resting in the cave for a while, the nine-tailed fox listened to Qiongqi's roar outside, and sniffed lowly around the cave.
Zhou was already a little puzzled by its behavior: "What is it looking for?"
Tao Jiang shook his head and said, "After coming here, my five senses are no different from ordinary people... It should have found a way out."
Sure enough, as soon as Tao Jiang finished speaking, the Nine-Tailed Fox raised its claws and pushed away a big rock in the corner, revealing a half-meter-high black hole behind it.
After sniffing carefully at the entrance of the cave, the nine-tailed fox went in without any hesitation.
Until the nine-tailed fox disappeared into the cave, Zhou Ji still hadn't reacted: "What should we do? Go out of the cave and take a detour?"
It was difficult, but at this time the following skill was activated again, and the two were forced to become pangolins.
The hard mountain air generally slid past them. Although there was no tactile sensation, the visual impact was still amazing.
Zhou already subconsciously clutched his forehead, always feeling that he was about to bump into it in the next second: "This feeling of being stuck in a rock and walking through it is too bad!"
The tunnel was winding and dark, and the footsteps of the nine-tailed fox running in the darkness echoed like drums.
Tao Jiang stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Weiran's wrist: "It's almost the exit."
A little light appeared in the darkness ahead.
The Nine-Tailed Fox ran faster and was hunted down by Qiongqi. It hadn't eaten for a long time, and its physical strength was about to be exhausted. It rushed towards the light in front of it with one breath...
"Hey, a little fox!"
In the light, it rushed into a warm place.
......
"What's going on?!" Zhou Jiran looked at the human holding the nine-tailed fox in shock.
The familiar eyebrows, the little dimple around the mouth, although the long hair behind him is loose, and he is wearing linen clothes, but this is clearly himself!exactly the same!
Tao Jiang looked at the man's appearance, thoughtful: "This may be the reason why we came here."
The Nine-Tailed Fox lay motionless in the man's arms with eyes closed, as if fainted, and let others touch it.
This person who looks exactly like Zhou already has the same guts, sitting on the ground with the fox in his arms and counting its tails.
"...There is only Eight Tails," he gently stroked the tail of the fox, and comforted softly, "It's okay, you can cultivate Nine Tails soon after practicing hard... It was you who threw yourself into my arms Yes, I'm taking you home."
As he spoke, he touched the tail of the nine-tailed fox again, then put it into the rattan basket behind his back, and covered it with the grass leaves inside.
Then I went down the mountain with my back on my back.
"The cave is gone."
Zhou Jiran looked back, but he did not see the tunnel they came from: "This may be a barrier or something. The vegetation and rocks in the mountains here are completely different from those over there."
Looking up, the whole mountain is lush and green, and there is no steep and hard rock. It seems that there are two mountains from the side they came from.
"By the way, why is our big brother missing one tail?" Zhou Jiran suddenly said, the lifelong pursuit of all the fox clan is to cultivate nine tails, nine tails and eight tails are different from each other.
Tao Jiangdao: "When I entered the cave, I was slapped by Qiongqi."
Zhou Jiran sighed: "It's a blessing to be able to recover a life from Qiongqi and only lose a tail."
......
At the foot of the mountain is a fairly large gathering place of human tribes, with hundreds of families. The young man with a fox on his back is named Jiang, who seems to have some status in the tribe, and many people greet him along the way.
"Jiang, did you find anything good on the mountain today?"
"Jiang, my brother fell on his leg while hunting, can you come and help him look?"
"Jiang, my family has hunted too many prey, you can eat them!"
......
Jiang’s home is in the center of the tribe, a small shed made of branches and thatch. The strange thing is that the sheds of other families are crowded together, only his house is surrounded by a large open space that seems to be deliberately set aside. Right in front is a place like a central square, and there is a three-meter-high platform in the center of the square, which surpasses the entire tribe.
After pushing open the fence and following into the shed, Zhou was even more sure that their coming here had something to do with Jiang.
In the center of the shed is the bronze tripod that dragged them here!
