Chapter 2060 Step by Step
The clouded leopard Taotao had already started practicing alone. Because of his black fur that was different from other clouded leopards, he was rejected by his other brothers and sisters, just like Jinxiang in his previous life.

Fortunately, apart from his fur, he possessed all the talents of a clouded leopard, and was even stronger than his other friends. So after practicing alone, he separated from the mother leopard and started fighting alone, marking out a training area for himself.

Today, a first-level Swift Wind Wolf set his eyes on his territory. Tao Tao didn't want to give up the place he had conquered with so much difficulty, so he fought with the Swift Wind Wolf.

The Gale Wolf gets its name because of its speed like the wind. When fighting against other monsters, it always wins by its speed. The Clouded Leopard is light, has thick skin and flesh, and has a body of steel, so it excels in defense. Therefore, the two fight back and forth.

When Jinxiang got close to the two fighting beasts, the fight was already coming to an end. In the end, the Clouded Leopard Taotao was slightly superior. He used his iron body to resist the sharp claws of the Gale Wolf and finally bit off the Gale Wolf's neck.

After Taotao defeated the Gale Wolf, he was a little exhausted and lay on the ground gasping for breath. At this moment, his ears moved, and the next moment he opened his leopard eyes and stared at a tree not far away. He smelled the scent of other monsters.

Tao Tao thought that there were other monsters taking advantage of the situation, so even though he was seriously injured, he slowly stood up from the ground and assumed a fighting stance. He could not show weakness at this time, otherwise the other party would definitely take advantage of the situation.

Jinxiang knew his friend's personality, so after attracting his attention, he came out from behind the tree without hesitation with a healing herb in his mouth, but he didn't get too close to Taotao. After all, they were not friends yet.

Jinxiang spat the spiritual herbs at his feet and spoke cautiously:

"I'm Jinxiang, and I'm also practicing in Linglong Mountains. Can I make a deal with you?"

When Tao Tao saw that it was a small gray mouse, belonging to the bottom of the food chain in Linglong Mountains, he put away his aura, but remained wary of the opponent, and his eyes drifted towards the healing herb from time to time.

"What deal do you want to make?"

Seeing that Taotao did not refuse outright, Jinxiang knew there was a way, so he immediately said:
“I can give you this magical herb to heal your wounds, but I hope you can protect me while I practice in Linglong Mountains.

As long as you agree, I can find more elixirs that are more suitable for you in the future. In exchange, you must protect me from being bullied by other monsters."

After hearing this condition, Taotao stared at the little gray mouse with wide eyes for a long time. He couldn't see anything special about this thing which was only the size of his paw.

Jinxiang knew that Taotao must be skeptical. In order to establish a relationship with his good friend, he could only shake his head and reveal the golden hair on his forehead to prove that he had the ability to fulfill his promise.

After seeing the little gray mouse's golden hair, Tao Tao realized that this little guy was not simple and knew how to hide his shortcomings, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I agree. We will practice together in the future. As long as you don't provoke the big guys who are higher than me, I will definitely protect you."

Jinxiang squeaked happily twice, then picked up the magical herb at his feet and brought it to Taotao.

Tao Tao didn't hesitate and swallowed the spiritual herb in one gulp. After a while, the black fur on his body began to heal visibly.

Tao Tao shook off the black fur on his body, and then said to Jin Xiang:

"My name is Tao Tao, you will follow me from now on."

"Well, just call me Jinxiang. Please take care of me in the future."

Jinxiang immediately squinted his eyes and said, then asked uncertainly:
"Tao Tao, why is your fur black?"

Jinxiang remembered clearly that Taotao was a white clouded leopard in his previous life.

Tao Tao shook his tail nonchalantly and said, "My bloodline reverted to my ancestral lineage, so I'm black. I'm much more powerful than other clouded leopards."

Taotao tried his best to flatter himself. After all, atavism and mutation are just terms. It will be no problem to fool the little gray mouse because they are not the same species.

Jinxiang was really fooled. He felt that Taotao had his own opportunity in this life and was very happy for her.

Taotao swiftly took out the magic pill from the belly of the Wind Wolf and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he walked back with the corpse of the Wind Wolf in his mouth.

Jinxiang used all four paws to chase Taotao. Finally, Taotao got tired of his slow speed, so he wrapped his tail around Jinxiang and went back to his nest together.

In the following month, Taotao successively refined the inner elixir and flesh and blood of the Gale Wolf, bringing his cultivation level just one step away from the second level.

Jinxiang was very happy for Taotao. He recalled all the natural treasures of Linglong Mountains in his memory, and then selected a red fruit tree on the outskirts.

The red fruit is about to mature, and there are only three of them. In the previous life, two first-level monsters fought for the fruit and both were injured. They were picked up by a young Qi-refining cultivator who was training in the periphery. This time he decided to seize this opportunity in his own hands. In this way, not only can Taotao improve his cultivation, but he can also take a ride.

After confirming these, Jinxiang went to scout the area near the red fruit tree. There was a green snake at the peak of the first stage guarding the red fruit, waiting for the red fruit to mature and then it could swallow it and advance to the second stage.

In the previous life, the one who fought the green snake to death was a lizard beast, and the opponent had long been eyeing this red fruit tree.

After confirming that the red fruit tree's location remained unchanged and would mature next month, Jinxiang quietly returned to Taotao.

Taotao has been staying in his own cave recently to consolidate his cultivation. He wants to fight other monsters once his cultivation is stable to see if he can break through to the second level in the battle.

Seeing that Jinxiang had been working very hard these past two days, he asked curiously:
"Jinxiang, what have you been busy with these two days?"

Jinxiang felt that the time was right, so he told Taotao about his discovery of the red fruit tree.

After hearing this, Tao Tao said somewhat discouragedly:
"You think I didn't plan to take that red fruit tree? It's just that the green snake is too insidious and vicious. Any monster that gets close to it guarding the fruit tree will either be swallowed by it or bitten to death by it. The poison of that guy is very strong."

Jinxiang shook his little round ears and said:

"We should be more careful this time, we should be able to find a bargain. I found a lizard beast eyeing the red fruit tree these past two days. I think there will be a big fight between these two guys!
If we find the right time to strike, we can not only get the Vermillion Fruit, but they can also become your food."

Tao Tao's eyes lit up after hearing this. If that was the case, then it was really worth a try.

"If that's the case, let's give it a try."

"Well, I will be responsible for picking the fruits, and you will be responsible for finishing off the green snakes and lizard beasts."

"Okay, we won't go out recently and we'll stay here to recuperate."

The two of them finally waited until the red fruit was ripe. Taotao held Jinxiang on his head, and then they quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the red fruit tree and lay in ambush.

When Jinxiang and Taotao arrived, the green snake and the lizard beast were already fighting each other.
