Stray Chapter 4: There seems to be something wrong

"I know this..."

Xia Ran said calmly, he had long noticed that a special aura was rapidly approaching him, not the familiar magic power, but another kind of energy reaction, which was very similar to the nature of the magic power but had some differences. difference.

But this is to be expected. Jimo seems to be no big deal here, but there are actually two loose immortals living there.

One is a mountain god, the other is an immortal beast... and his mental power just swept over without concealment, which would definitely alarm these two.

It's just that the one who came now should be the fox fairy, the third master fox worshipped by the locals. As for the mountain god, it seems that he is not in Jimo at all. This discovery made Xia Ran in a bad mood. He probably knew what time period it was, and it was basically the late stage of the main storyline...

Because only after the protagonists of the four generations came to Jimo, a series of plots happened - the mountain **** left the fishing village with his daughter and began to travel the world.

There is only one master fox who once made waves in Jimo, but under the premise of being taught by the protagonist group and his party, even if the mountain **** has left, he is ready to shrink his tail and become a man.

Since there is only one of the original two scattered immortals here, and only the third Mr. Hu stays in Jimo, it means that it is very likely that the protagonist group has come to Jimo and took them away A cold weapon.

——It's not a good time, I feel like it's going to be turbulent...

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly appeared not far ahead, as if it had suddenly emerged from the soil.

“…!!”

Saber is very vigilant, her slender fingers clenched the invisible weapon, and she exerted a little more force. The other party looked like a half-year-old boy with fine eyebrows, but with pointed ears and a few fluffy fox tails behind him. .

Elf? No, no, it should be a so-called youkai, right?

The girl was keenly aware of the troubles of this inhuman thing in front of her. Although she didn't flinch or fear, she still looked solemn. The intuitive warning made her understand that this was a strong enemy.

Sure enough.

This world with an era background close to the age of the gods is simply Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. How long has it been since I entered the mission world, and have I encountered an enemy of this level?

Probably aware of the sharp sword-like aura on Artoria's body, the fox fairy is also very alert and maintains a certain distance, staring at the two "people" in strange clothes in front of her, without saying anything. Politely questioned——

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"This Daxian is polite, we have no ill intentions... Haven't asked your honorable name yet?" Xia Ran blinked at first, and already quickly packed up her mood, she raised her hand and gave a nondescript bow. .

I originally planned to speak in a more elegant way, but after thinking about it, I think it's okay, it's not good if it's too deliberate, it's okay to be so natural...

And it doesn't look like Mr. Hu San is too literate. He may not understand what he says too much.

"Cough cough, this is easy to say, Ben Da... Ben Daxian is the fox fairy worshipped in the local Fox Immortal Temple, you can call me Hu San Tai... Cough, just call me Hu San... "

The third master fox was stunned for a while, then he coughed a few times, and introduced himself a little flutteringly.

This great immortal call was very useful to him, especially when the polite person seemed to be a very powerful practitioner.

This made him fully feel that his demon character was respected and his self-realization needs were met... All in all, it was the first time that a demon was treated like this, and the person in front of him immediately made him feel Kindly.

"It turned out to be the three immortals of the fox in front of me. It's really disrespectful... Excuse me, this is Jimo? We have no ill intentions, this time we only came here for one important thing..." Xia Ran continued to play her acting skills, pretending that she didn't Knowing what kind of person this fox immortal is in front of him, he is just polite.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual power radiates out silently, covering the surroundings with an incomparably soft, plucking emotional string, slowly eliminating vigilance and vigilance, and amplifying the concerns of other parties. His favorable mood.

Saber on the side had a blank expression, and there was a trace of confusion on her delicate little face. Although she didn't know what her Master was singing, she also understood that the situation was probably impossible. Woke up.

However, the sword of oath victory in her hand was not put away, and she still had enough vigilance.

The third master fox did not doubt anything. He smiled cheerfully and tried hard to show off his ability in a plain tone:

"Naturally Jimo is here. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it. If it's very troublesome, or if I can help you, I can't tell you... After all, Ben Da... Ben Daxian still has a local Somewhat capable."

"This..." Xia Ran was a little hesitant, not so refreshing as if she was waiting for the other party's words here, but agreed in one go, that would make the fox feel that something was wrong.

This fox fairy named Hu San Tai Ye is also good at illusion and spiritual methods, but Xia Ran is much more accomplished in this area, and Hu San Tai Ye is completely unfamiliar with him, and He knew the bottom line of Mr. Hu San, so he dared to walk a tightrope as soon as he came up.

But no matter how unguarded Mr. Hu San is, he is not really a fool. Xia Ran can't really treat the other party as a puppet or NPC, and say some strange words and do some strange behaviors by himself. There will be no doubt.

The Third Master Fox was a little unhappy immediately: "What? Don't you believe in Ben Da... Ben Daxian's ability?"

"Not really, it's just... well, it's actually like this..."

Xia Ran pretended to think for a while, and then said in a flickering manner, "We came here this time to find a legendary cold weapon, which is said to have appeared in Jimo, East China Sea hundreds of years ago... "

"The cold map of Guangji?!" Before the magician could finish speaking, Mr. Hu San's eyes lit up and he spoke first.

Although he put gold on his face, Mr. Hu San is still somewhat worried. If the other party's affairs are really troublesome and he can't do it at all, can't he be sorry that he just blew it out cowhide?

But after the other party opened his mouth, the fox breathed a sigh of relief. He might not know about other things, but if it was a cold weapon that lived in Jimo hundreds of years ago, he just happened to know.

"Exactly."

Xia Ran didn't blushed or panted at all. He actually had no interest in cold weapons at all. He just found a random reason to explain why the two of them came to Jimo.

Although he didn't come to Jimo specifically, he was randomly dropped into the vicinity when he entered the world, but this kind of argument is fine, and the other party definitely doesn't believe it.

Let's just use the excuse of looking for the cold weapon, this is completely reasonable and reasonable... Anyway, the mountain **** has left Jimo now, and the cold weapon is probably taken away by Yun Tianhe and the others, so don't worry about this excuse. What is the impact.

"If that's the case, then I can really help..."

The third master fox immediately became complacent. He felt that this opportunity was just the right time to show off his ability.

"Because I know exactly where the cold weapon is! I have seen it with my own eyes several times before..."

"I also ask the three immortals of the fox to give me some advice!"

Just like the development direction that Xia Ran most wanted to see, it was smooth and even a little too much, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that this development is not too difficult to understand.

Because the fox isn't technically bad, all kinds of pranks are more like trying to get someone's attention.

It's just that he doesn't know how to show his ability, he can only show off his ability by making fun of the local people, and he also said that "it's meaningless to be immortal and can't make fun of mortals at will"...

The magician originally thought that as long as he made a fuss about this point, although he would be dizzy if he didn't say it immediately, he would be so exaggerated by listening to his words, but it could eliminate hostility to a great extent and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

As it is now, facing the politeness and respect shown by real practitioners, Mr. Hu San can hardly find the north, as if he has a sense of excitement of being recognized, especially when he discovers When the other party may even ask for something from him, he immediately tries to prove his ability...

——Probably because it's really been held back for too long? After all, it is really boring to always make fun of Shengdou Xiaomin.

This fox himself is well aware of this, so now that he finds that there really seems to be a serious person who can express himself and show off the opportunity, his heart is like a monkey scratching at all. I couldn't hold back.

In addition, Xia Ran is still carefully sensing and distinguishing the emotional changes of the third master of the fox in front of him, and using the power of the mind to the smallest detail, he can quietly grasp the other party's psychology and easily mobilize the other party's emotions. performance is not surprising.

Having mastered the rhythm of the dialogue, the magician who pushed the whole thing with one hand was a little amused.

It's no wonder that this guy will do those naive and angry things in the original plot, he feels like a child who hasn't grown up...

"It's easy to say... I'll tell you about Ben Daxian. In addition to Ben Daxian, there is another loose immortal in the local area. He is a mountain **** in the nearby mountains. He always conceals his identity and pretends to be a mortal, living in Jimo. Here..."

At this time, the third master fox pointed to the fishing village in the distance behind him and said with air: "I just transformed into a scholar not long ago, and Guangji Hantu is in his hands."

"Can the three great foxes give me a recommendation?" Xia Ran asked hurriedly, acting as if she really came for the cold weapon.

"This...not for the time being. That guy is not in Jimo now. He seems to be going out to do something." Mr. Hu San shook his head regretfully.

Xia Ran immediately looked disappointed, but she knew it well. It seems that Xia Yuanchen's decision to take her daughter to leave Jimo didn't tell the fox, and the fox didn't know it at all. What he did in the past forced away his old rival who was both an enemy and a friend.

"But don't worry, when he left a few days ago, he went to my temple and asked me to take care of the local villagers. He also said that he would come back in at most half a month..."

Seeing the disappointment of the practitioner in front of him, Mr. Hu San was a little worried that the other party would think that he was bragging. When he really wanted to see Zhenzhang, he would find an excuse to dodge it, so he quickly patted his chest and promised.

Huh?

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that things were not right. He tentatively asked: "That...I wonder if there are other people in this mountain god's family? Since he is a mortal, it should be a family and a business, right?"

"No, he just turned into a scholar two months ago, and his previous identity just died of old age..." The fox said without thinking.

“…”

“…”

The magician's expression froze.
