Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 780 11. Fox Pet

The morning light pierced through the clouds, the campfire had burned out, and a light snowflake began to fall on the wasteland.

Li Xian put on his cloak, used the last spark to light a cigarette and put it in his mouth. This was the habit of the original owner of this body, and Li Xian did not resist. Occasionally lighting a cigarette could make him more sober. He needed to suppress his spirituality at all times to prevent the spiritual restlessness from causing ripples, which would attract the attention of something in the black fog.

The outer shell of this universe cannot be said to be solid, so it is not difficult for those things to get in.

Blowing out a puff of smoke, Li Xian looked up at the Wusong River.

The blue-gray skylight sprinkled on the river surface like glass, and on the other side of the river was a dense birch forest.

Xue Wuya curled up in a depression in the exposed rock, his fox ears drooping and his fox tail wrapped around his body like a cloud. His outline was framed with a layer of gold in the morning light, revealing a solemnity like a temple mural.

Li Xi'an decided to wake him up later, but at this time Nightmare moved to Li Xi'an's feet first, rubbing the claws on its membrane wings, like an old man lamenting the cold weather. After shrinking, Nightmare was a circle larger than an ordinary bat. At this time, half of its body was buried in the snow, and its black hair was covered with snow dust. It whispered to Li Xi'an: "My lord, those pursuers will find this place."

Li Xian glanced at the fox curled up in the stone and said, "I'll be back soon."

Nightmare was startled and his hair stood on end.

Li Xian ignored it, turned his wrist, held the bone knife and walked towards the path behind the wooden house.

The light snow covered his footprints, and in the distance, birds were startled and the ground was shaking slightly. Nightmare didn't dare to follow, so he could only fly to the top of a tree and look around.

After a while, it saw a blue-gray cloak fluttering in the snow, and Li Xian came back with a cigarette in his mouth.

The man casually put out the cigarette butt and tapped lightly on the stone where Xue Wuya was curled up with a bone knife.

With a crisp sound, Xue Wuya's ears suddenly stood up. When he opened his eyes, his golden pupils were still covered with the mist of dreams, but they softened into a pool of black shadow the moment they met the man's gaze.

"Ah... sorry, I overslept." said the fox.

"It's a rare opportunity to have a good night's sleep, so just get enough sleep. We don't need this little time." Li Xian put away his knife and looked towards the other side of the Wusong River. The birch forest was a good place for them to cover their tracks.

Xue Wuya shook off the snow dust on his body, looked down, and found a copper bell in his palm.

He raised his head and was about to ask, but was a little dazed.

Li Xian stood by the river with his back to the light. The morning light stretched his shadow very long, like the outline of a dragon's horns, like a winding dragon, its body stretching towards the horizon along with the cracks in the glacier.

At this moment, the first ray of golden sunlight truly pierced through the clouds, and the entire ice field suddenly became bright. The thick snow refracted the morning light into jumping golden-red arcs of light, as if the gods had smashed the lava on the sky.

"That's a spiritual weapon I made based on the life magic weapon of a nine-tailed fox. You can try to use it." Li Xi'an said, "I guess Jiuxiao didn't pass on any valuable protective methods to you."

Nightmare climbed onto Li Xian's coat and stopped at his right shoulder. He was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Isn't the Holy Son an Extreme Palace? Can he reach the Extreme Palace realm without the Dao Protection Technique?"

"That's not what I meant." Li Xi'an shook his head. "Xiu Zhiji Palace is indeed lucky. Originally, Jiuxiao might have controlled him in the Yangshen realm, so that he would not die easily and would be easier to control. It was obviously luck that he was able to condense the imperial realm."

"It's just luck," said the fox modestly.

"So disperse your energy and start over." Li Xi'an nodded. "The technique you practiced is useless except for positioning and controlling Jiuxiao. I will write you a protective method suitable for foxes. Although it is a bit profound and difficult to understand, it should not be difficult for you."

"Your Excellency still remembers this technique?"

Xue Wuya was a little surprised. Nanzhu was a Returned One from another universe, and he entered through spiritual escape. Naturally, he would not bring any treasures of the Returned One level with him. The skills suitable for fox cultivation were obviously copied by the other party based on his memory.

"The trophy came from a Tianyang fox, whose ancestors also had a supreme being."

"I wonder if the technique you are practicing has a name?"

Li Xi'an was stunned.

"Is it inconvenient to disclose?" Xue Wuya asked.

"That's not the case. My cultivation level will naturally increase, so I didn't deliberately look for any methods related to cultivation. If I had to say, it would be two original methods. Original methods are like the laws of the universe in the lotus petals, or the laws of heaven that are the crown of the nine heavens in this universe. However, the essence of these original methods is a kind of cognition and understanding of the origin of the universe, and they have little to do with cultivation."

The fox's smile froze for a moment, "I'm a little envious."

"What is the law of the universe, and what is the law of heaven?" Nightmare asked with wide eyes.

…………

In the birch forest, several figures suddenly jumped out from the branches and finally stopped next to a cigarette butt.

"That evil demon really doesn't take us seriously, leaving such a boring loophole." Jiuxiaowei said coldly.

"Why do I feel like this was done on purpose?" Another Jiuxiao Guard stepped out, his tone solemn.

"You mean that the evil demon not only kidnapped the Holy Son, but also deliberately left clues for us to track down? What is he trying to do?"

"Who knows? It would be great if I could understand the mind of the evil spirit. But up to now, the God has not made any move. Could it be that this evil spirit disaster is a test from the God to the Holy Son? After all, even if the Holy Son has been kidnapped, the God has not ended the coronation ceremony. The entire Beiyuan is still a forbidden zone of spiritual energy. We have to rely on Tianma to track down any clues." The Jiuxiao Guard shrugged.

"Keep going, maybe there are more clues." The leading Nine Sky Guard said. "Yes, yes, you have the final say, but I think even if we find it, we may not be able to defeat it, right? That evil demon is a monster that can easily defeat even the fighting creatures. It takes a God to take action on this level."

The Jiuxiao Guards rode on Pegasus and quickly traveled through the forest. The tree canopy here was as high as a hundred meters, and even Pegasus could soar freely between the tree trunks.

But as they went deeper into the forest, thick water vapor began to rise from the ground, and the sound of rushing water could be heard. When the Nine Sky Guards looked down, they saw the mist filling the air, as if they were in a sea of ​​clouds, and the birch trees were giant pillars that stretched to the sky.

"Hmm?" The leader frowned and raised his arms suddenly, "Silence!"

The Jiuxiao Guards were very disciplined and the discussions suddenly ceased. Even the wind and snow seemed to be silent around them.

Although Tianma also calmed down, Jiuxiaowei could clearly sense Tianma's restlessness.

"It's the medium land!" the leader whispered.

The mist formed a vortex in the distance, and in the center of the vortex grew an iris as clear as white crystal. The water vapor in the forest did not rise from the ground, but came from the outside world. It was too dense to form white mist. In the dense mist, the crystal iris swayed gently, exuding a strong temptation. This was a treasure that every living being desired.

"A medium of this grade?" Jiuxiaowei was shocked. "It must be supplied by at least one branch of a dragon vein to grow!"

There were already quite a few people standing on the foggy ground.

They were wary of one another and formed a large circle around the medium, pilgrims in search of treasure.

The leader frowned. Only then did he see clearly what was deep in the water vapor. In the deep pool below the crystal iris, a green-scaled tiger dragon was lurking, half of its body floating out of the water. It was looking at the pilgrims coldly. The perception of this creature was extremely sharp, and it even glanced in the direction of the Nine Sky Guards.

This is why the pilgrims dare not move.

A strange beast.

In the Northern Plains, the pilgrims had trouble dealing with even the human-faced eagle, let alone this level of strange beast? So they were on guard against each other and hesitated to take action. That tiger dragon had at least cultivated to the Yang God Realm, and it could transform into an emperor after eating this medium. There were several emperors among the pilgrims here. This tiger dragon might not be worth mentioning in the outside world, but in the Northern Plains, this forbidden land, the tiger dragon could ride on all of them and run wild.

"Damn it! A bunch of trash!" A turbaned emperor spat. If it weren't for Beiyuan, a tiger dragon would have been torn to pieces by him long ago, but such a treasure would not appear outside Beiyuan.

He was the first to find this place, but the men he sent out became food for the tiger dragon one after another. As more and more pilgrims came here, he felt that hope was slim.

"The human emperor is so impatient? He's worse than me." A sarcastic ridicule sounded.

The emperor was furious, and his anger was instantly ignited. He turned around and shouted, "Who?"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a grassland man wearing a blue-gray cloak standing in the mist. He had sharp black hair, an ancient tooth hanging on his chest, and a white fox curled up in his arms. The sound came from a black bat on the man's shoulder. The black bat covered its mouth with its membrane wings, curved its eyes, and had a sly smile on its face.

Compared to the pilgrims here, this man seemed to be sightseeing with his animal friends, which was out of place with the solemn and tense atmosphere around him.

"Come and hit me if you dare." Black Bat added fuel to the fire, but the man just let it go.

This was obviously tacit approval, and the emperor stepped forward to teach the young man a lesson.

The next moment, the sound of breaking wind was heard, the whistling wind rolled up the water vapor, and a sharp lightning spear pierced straight out from the mist!

At the same time, the neighing of Pegasus was heard!

The Nine Sky Guards stabbed at him, but he dodged it by leaning sideways and then turned it into a sweep. The lightning flashed on the lightning spear, and the dazzling lightning instantly attracted the attention of everyone here, including the tiger dragon entrenched in the deep pool. In the forbidden land, there is only one kind of person who can use this kind of lightning power, the Nine Sky Guards of the Nine Sky God's law army.

The emperor retreated quickly, but his body was still covered by the lightning, and his arm that was blocking in front of him was hit and burned black. Fortunately, he saved his life. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the Nine Sky Guard who used the lightning spear.

"It's the Nine Sky Guards!" The pilgrims began to get restless.

"Are they going to snatch this medium?"

"The Nine Sky Guard is fighting with someone... No, why is he heading straight towards the medium?"

Jiuxiaowei smashed the ground with his thunder spear, and the snow dust within ten feet was cleared in an instant. The violent lightning rushed out, blocking the opponent's way. The other arm raised its hand and grabbed the man's throat.

"We succeeded!" Jiuxiaowei opened his eyes wide.

His palm did grab something, but it was not the man's throat, but the crystal iris guarded by the tiger dragon. The man in front of him melted away, and the Nine Sky Guard turned his head and saw that it was the tiger dragon under the lightning. The beast was extremely angry, opened its sharp teeth and tore the lightning pillar into pieces, and pounced on the Nine Sky Guard!

"Illusion! When?" Jiuxiaowei raised his lightning spear to block the tiger dragon's attack, and then pulled back to distance himself. He scanned the area around the water vapor, but did not find the evil demon at all... No, what the hell! Why would he think of facing the evil demon alone?

Amid the restless crowd of pilgrims, Li Xi'an stroked the white fox's fur and praised it, "You learn very quickly."

Xue Wuya dispersed his energy and started cultivating again, returning to his original beast form. If he wanted to transform, he would need to cultivate to the Yang God realm.

A human voice came out of the fox's mouth, "This illusion is really amazing. It can actually modify a person's subconscious mind. You have to know that the Nine Sky Guards are all people with strong wills. They are not people who can be easily affected by illusions. But they fell for it so easily."

"Maybe you have a talent for this." Li Xian said, "It's time to bring that medium over for inspection."

He winked at Nightmare.

Meng Yan understood what he meant and shouted at the top of his voice, "The Nine Sky Guards are stealing from their own company. They are all greedy villains! While the Tiger Dragon is being held back, the Nine Sky Guards can't hold on alone. Brothers, charge! This is a good chance for us to seize the medium!"
