Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

Chapter 83 Spirit Beasts

In autumn, the mountains are draped in a golden new coat.

Sunlight spreads across the mountain ridges and forests, and when the wind blows, thousands of leaves ripple like slowly flowing golden waves.

Beside the Luo River, most of the snake's body was submerged in the water, with only its head and tail showing.

The head is used to think about the effects of the reverse scale, while the tail is used to play with the little fox.

The fox cub, less than a year old, can already ignite a ghostly blue flame at the tip of its tail, and the temperature is high enough to evaporate moisture.

Perhaps it was because of the blood-red lotus seed that Jiulian was somewhat warlike. Every day, she would either sleep on her own head or practice hunting prey with the mountain lord.

"With me watching over him every day, and Qinghu leading the way, he shouldn't go astray—" The giant snake glanced at the little fox who was vigorously fighting with the tip of its tail.

She was trying to merge the two flames into one. The temperature was so high that the air itself seemed to ripple.

With a sweep of its tail, it dispersed the ball of flame.

The giant snake deliberately ignored the little fox's wails and turned to look at its own incompatible scale.

Right now, I can only slow down and speed up time, which is far from enough for future droughts.

Time sequence.

It is only exploring the first half now.

As for the "order" in the latter half, the serpent can only be understood for now as sequence, order, or sequence. On a deeper level, the sequence itself is a way of manipulating cause and effect.

Just like that day, it changed its perspective to observe how the tiger would act next.

However, this prediction is not set in stone.

The outcome could change at any moment because of a single word, or even a tiny gesture or glance.

"Time sequence — Time sequence"

The giant snake turned its head.

The little fox began to gather its flames again.

This time the temperature is even higher than the last time.

It's like a child playing with fire.

The white fox left her children with a very rich legacy.

Three parts of the mountain and water's spiritual essence, a whole evil dragon horn, and that lotus seed, nourished daily with spiritual liquid.

It's even quite possible that her mother added something extra to Jiulian's body.

"But it's good to play around now—it's better than losing control in the future and causing trouble everywhere," the giant snake murmured.

Noticing its gaze, the little fox's serious expression froze.

He wanted to disperse the flames, but in that moment of distraction, his spiritual energy was freed and surged into the fireball.

As her spiritual energy accumulated, it began to restrain her mind.

I'm starting to lose control.

"Don't throw it in the water, figure out how to untie it yourself." The giant snake saw her predicament.

"Hmm!" the little fox gritted its teeth and responded.

She stared at the burning flame for a while, then slowly calmed her breathing, trying to recall how she had fused the flame together.

Then, bit by bit, he divided the spiritual energy into two groups.

A mountain breeze blows.

The eerie blue flames burning in mid-air began to sway erratically, even showing signs of exploding.

The little fox held its breath, staring intently at the center line of the ghostly blue flame.

There, countless spiritual energies intertwined into threads, and her spirit was unraveling those lotus root-like threads one by one.

The mountain wind blew again.

A sudden burst of eerie blue flames caused the separated threads to rejoin.

The little fox's eyes widened.

The next instant, the white flour, which was already tinged with pink, suddenly turned a deep red.

It's like it's been suffocating.

Two tails thrashed wildly in the air, and its azure yet blood-red eyes stared intently at the unruly flame.

It actually dared to disobey me!

The little fox instinctively spread its tail, and three spiritual waves surged out simultaneously, splitting into fireballs on the left and right, one of which shielded the mountain wind.

This surprised the mischievous serpent.

How big is this fox?

It's not even a month old yet since it was born.

Focus your gaze and shift your perspective; you'll see that two of the chains binding the little fox are slowly dissipating.

Divine thought and intention, vital energy.

These two shackles were not tightly fastened to begin with, as if the white fox had deliberately tied them on because she was worried that her child was too young to control too much power.

But I'm also afraid of binding it too tightly.

So much so that it's so loose now, it starts to fall off as soon as you apply any force.

A divinely bestowed spirit beast.

A spirit beast that broke free from two shackles from the moment of its birth, the nine-tailed fox.

It took him a full thirty years to break free of the three shackles. Even at that speed, it can be considered fast.

The large snake flicked its tongue.

I'm thinking about whether I should put another chain on the little fox.

But the thought was fleeting.

The fruits of a child's hard work should not be overlooked.

At worst, I can take better care of her and guide her in the future.

"snort!"

"separate!"

The voice was clear and crisp, carrying a hint of youthful determination.

It was as if wolf cubs were howling at the moon under their mother's guidance.

The ball of dark blue flame was torn apart with a "snap," and just as it was about to erupt, it was split into four clusters.

It was divided again and again, faster and faster, until it turned into countless ghostly blue sparks.

A mountain breeze blew by, and the sparks quietly died out.

The little fox let out a long breath, and its tail, which had been flailing wildly in the air, suddenly lost its strength and drooped down like an eggplant hit by frost.

She raised her head, her azure eyes cautiously gazing at the giant snake.

It's like they're waiting for a single sentence.

"Hmm, well done."

"Right, right!"

The little fox instantly came back to life, hopping and leaping towards the giant snake.

With its limbs outstretched, it lay completely on the snake's body, rubbing against it with soft moans.

The large snake brought its tail closer and gently tapped the little fox's head.

"Your power is immense, far surpassing mine back then. But be careful how you use it, restrain yourself with care, and don't let it get out of control again like it has now."

"Mmm." The little fox's tail curled up and intertwined with the snake's tail.

The snake pulled its tail away and put it back into the water.

Having exhausted too much energy, the little fox lay on the snake's back, and as it lay there, an overwhelming sense of drowsiness arose within it.

She lightly jumped onto the top of the giant snake's head and sat down against its prominent horn.

Its two tails parted, wrapping its curled-up body in circles, shrinking it into a pink marshmallow.

Soon, her breathing became steady, and she fell asleep peacefully.

The giant snake also fell silent.

Another horn emitted spiritual energy, communicating with the reverse scale, deducing the sequence of events, and studying how to utilize this power.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

three days later.

The giant snake rolled its eyes, fixing its gaze on the spot where the little fox had parted the flames.

Within the golden and silver heterochromatic eyes flowed a mysterious and magnificent Daoist aura.

The pale blue spark that had been extinguished by the wind reappeared.

The next instant, the Mars did not move, but suddenly coalesced into twelve fireballs.

There hasn't been a chance to make a move yet.

The mountain lord, bringing with him fierce winds and heat waves, rushed over and stopped in front of the giant snake.

The raging wind nearly blew the little fox off, its two front paws clinging tightly to the snake's long horns, its body and tail stretched into a long strip by the wind.

The pale blue sparks were also blown out.

Seeing this, the giant serpent understood and turned to look at the mountain lord who was rushing over.

"What's up?"

"Candle, I want to take human form. Do you have a way to do that?"
