Origin Chapter 283: Little Fox

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Wu Zhongyuan fixed his eyes and looked again. Jiang Nan's words were not bad. That small black shadow was indeed like a fox, and he was sniffing the extinguished rocket.

While Wu Zhongyuan stared into the distance, Jiang Nan said from the side, "The fox in the hall has red fur, so it's not an ordinary fox."

"Red-haired fox?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's different expression, Jiang Nan looked at him suspiciously.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the southeast, "Earlier, I went to the fox clan to change food species, and I once met a red-haired fox in the Goat Valley. It's the kind that the second child was holding in his hand just now."

It may be that the conversation between the two alarmed the little fox in the hall. After smelling the rocket, the little fox cautiously moved to the door, probed out, and looked out.

As soon as it appeared, Wu Zhongyuan saw its appearance clearly, "It's really it."

Jiang Nan looked at the little fox sideways, "The bones here belong to different beasts, other beasts are not allowed to approach the temple, how can it be the only one?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer Jiang Nan's words. He was looking at the little fox, and the little fox was also looking at him. The little fox seemed to remember him. Although there were doubts in his eyes, he was not vigilant or hostile.

"Do you remember me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the little fox.

The little fox tilts his head.

Wu Zhongyuan crouched down and waved at him, "Come, come here."

The little fox tilted its head to the other side.

"Why isn't it hostile to you?" Jiang Nan was very puzzled.

"I saw it was pitiful that day, and I didn't have any qi pills on it, so I could only give it a piece of dried meat." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan beckoning, the little fox came out of the temple, sat down on the stone steps in front of the temple, and looked at the two from a distance.

Jiang Nan reminded, "Since it lives here, it means that it is inextricably linked with this temple. It is best not to let it get close to you."

"It's not aggressive," Wu Zhongyuan said. "It can't speak. I communicated with it in sign language in the Goat Valley that day. We were very close at the time. If it wanted to harm me, it would have done it long ago. ."

Jiang Nan did not refute Wu Zhongyuan's statement, but said, "There are six statues on the north side of the hall. If nothing else, there should also be six on the south side. If this is where the beast king is sacrificed, then these twelve The statue is the twelve orc warriors under the command of the Beastmaster."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "The statue of the dog-headed warrior on the left is very similar to the giant hyena that attacked us before."

“I noticed that too,” Jiang Nan said.

The two were talking when the little fox sitting at the door suddenly disappeared.

Although the two were talking, they kept looking at the little fox. The little fox disappeared without warning. Instead of running into the temple hall, it disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing the little fox disappearing, Jiang Nan became vigilant, "Be careful, it has disappeared."

"It's not stealth," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "it should be a momentary movement. I once saw it disappear without a trace with the meat in its mouth when I was in the Valley of the Goats."

Jiang Nan didn't answer the call, and walked a few feet to the north, trying to see if there were six statues on the other side of the temple, but the stone gate of the temple was only opened a little on the south side, and the viewing angle was limited. , you can't see what's going on on the other side.

While Jiang Nan was observing the situation of the temple, Wu Zhongyuan briefly explained the situation of the little fox to her, including the little fox's attempt to exchange the worthless Ganoderma lucidum for a Qi-boosting elixir of the same color as its coat. And when he met the little fox, the little fox went to the Goat Valley for exchange for half a year, but because the Ganoderma lucidum grass was not very precious, no one exchanged it with it.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's speech, Jiang Nan nodded, and after pondering, he said to Wu Zhongyuan, "You wait for me here, don't go near the temple, I will go back when I go."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and agreed, Jiang Nan applied his birth method and went east.

When Jiang Nan left, the little fox suddenly appeared beside him, holding two branches of Ganoderma lucidum in his mouth.

The Ganoderma lucidum that it carries is still the one that was brought to Goat Valley before. It is very small and has a small mouth, and can only hold two at most at a time.

Wu Zhongyuan had communicated with it before, and knowing that it could understand simple human words, he asked with a smile, "Would you like to change to the red qi pill?"

The little fox nodded, disappeared after nodding, reappeared a moment later, and picked up two more.

"I don't want this," Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the temple, "you live here?"

The little fox nodded.

"Have been living here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The little fox may not understand, and looks at him suspiciously.

Wu Zhongyuan took out a red qi pill from the cloth bag around his waist and handed it to it, "This is for you."

The little fox was very happy when he saw Wu Zhongyuan's medicine pill in his hand, he stood up and raised his hand to thank him.

At this moment, Jiang Nan's voice came from a distance, "What are you doing? Don't give it a pill!"

The little fox was just about to take the medicine pill when he heard Jiang Nan shouting, and then saw Jiang Nan swooping from the east. He was nervous and panicked and disappeared.

A moment later, Jiang Nan came, holding a mountain rabbit that was still struggling.

"It's origin is unknown, it's an enemy or a friend. If you give it an elixir, it's likely to fund the enemy." Jiang Nan said.

"Probably not." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Jiang Nan looked at him with questioning eyes.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "It can move instantly, and Nanhuang also has places where medicine pills are hidden. Why doesn't it steal, but insist on easy exchange?"

"You also said that it doesn't have complete consciousness," Jiang Nan said.

Wu Zhongyuan did not argue with Jiang Nan, but looked at the mountain rabbit she caught, "Do you want to use it as a pathfinder?"

Jiang Nan nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan took a few steps back and raised his hand to Jiang Nan, who threw the mountain rabbit into the area where the bones were piled up.

This rabbit was caught alive by Jiang Nan, and it was not injured after landing. It got up and ran south.

The two "watched" the mountain rabbit run away, turned their eyes away, and looked at each other in dismay. The fact that the mountain rabbit retreated all over does not mean that there was no ambush in the area where the bones were located, it only meant that the guarding of this ruined temple was not a mechanical formation, but It is a living thing with spiritual consciousness, or it may be a dead thing. In short, it has spiritual consciousness and can distinguish which ones should be killed and which ones should not be killed.

I don't know when, the little fox returned to the stone steps in front of the temple. When the two used the mountain rabbit to test it, it was also watching curiously. When the two took their eyes back, it was still looking away, waiting for the rabbit. After disappearing, he turned to look at the two of them.

Wu Zhongyuan has been holding the medicine pill in his hand. Seeing the little fox looking over here, he squeezed the medicine pill and said to him, "Come here and give it to you."

The little fox seemed to be a little afraid of Jiang Nan, shook his head, and did not approach.

Wu Zhongyuan took out a rice cake from his bag, pressed the red Qi-boosting medicinal pill into it, and urged his spiritual energy to throw the rice cake at the little fox.

He could shoot the arrow a hundred feet away, but he couldn't throw the rice cake a hundred paces. In the end, the rice cake fell into the grass. The little fox ran forward, found and took the rice cake and ran back to the previous squatting position. When he reached the stone steps, the little fox put down the rice cake and turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, then picked up the rice cake and ran into the temple behind him.

Although he was worried that Wu Zhongyuan's move would help the enemy and bad things, Jiang Nan didn't say much.

After waiting for a while, the little fox didn't come out, Jiang Nan tilted his head to look at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "It's already dark, go back first, and talk about it tomorrow."

The two returned to their original places. The old blind man was chatting with the second child. There was a pile of dead branches and dry wood in front of the two. This was undoubtedly picked up by the second child, but it was not lit without Wu Zhongyuan's permission.

It's actually not cold at this time, but there are all kinds of mosquitoes in the mountains at night, and the bonfire can not only illuminate, but also repel insects.

Lighting the bonfire, Wu Zhongyuan told the old blind man about the situation of the temple and the little fox, and then asked for his opinion.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's speech, the old blind man didn't answer immediately, he pondered for a long time before he said, "It is rumored that not only Fuxi Nuwa has warrior assistants, but the other five kings also have a large number of warriors accompanying them, and Fuxi Nuwa is the emperor. The queen of people should be nine supreme, there are nine auxiliary and nine bi. And the five kings sense the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, the nine palaces, the gossip, the five elements, and the generals under his command should also respond to this number.”

The old blind man took a breath after saying this, and then said, "This temple should be the altar where the Kunlun orcs sacrificed to the beast king, and the statues on both sides must be the twelve generals of the beast tribe who assisted the beast king." /

After the old blind man finished speaking, Jiang Nan asked, "Excuse me, sir, what kind of beasts are the twelve generals of the orc race? Are there any foxes among them?"

The old blind man shook his head, "I don't know, even what I said before was just a rumor. It's hard to verify whether the legend is true or false."

"Do you know the origin of that red-haired fox, sir?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I've heard of this fox, it goes to the Goat Valley every once in a while, trying to exchange for medicine pills," the old blind man said, "This thing is very vigilant, and never allows outsiders to get close to it. , it will hide away."

"It didn't go invisible, but moved instantaneously and went elsewhere." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Moving in a flash?" The old blind man frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's undoubtedly an instant movement, not a stealth illusion." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

“As far as I know, there is no spell or power magic that can move instantaneously, except for the fleeting thousand miles of the bear clan,” said the old blind man.

"The key point is that its spiritual qi cultivation base is not very high, its spiritual consciousness is not very complete, and its mind is very simple." Wu Zhongyuan said, the instant of the bear clan requires the caster to enter the big hole, at least the blood of the six yang can be cast. , and can only transmit others, not yourself.

The old blind man didn't answer, he pondered for a long time before asking, "Have you ever touched it?"

"Never," Wu Zhongyuan asked after shaking his head, "what did you think of, sir?"

The old blind man did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, but asked again, "Does it actually have a substance?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It can hold Ganoderma lucidum, and it can hold rice cakes. If it doesn't have a body, how can it be done?"

The old blind man thought for a while and said, "Before it only appeared at night, this time you see it after sunset, you call it again tomorrow, if it can show up in the sun, I will know it What is it?"

"If it can come out during the day, what is it?" The second child asked the question Wu Zhongyuan wanted to ask.

"The Nascent Soul of the Beast King..."
