Sister Toosaka Rin

Soon, several fox demons with powerful auras appeared from all directions of the forest and surrounded Tousaka Kiyoshi.

The yellow-haired fox in the lead immediately gave a warning, asking Kiyoshi Toosaka to leave.

Tousaka Kiyoshi shook his head: "I won't leave until I meet your clan leader."

Communication in this era was brief and straightforward, without many twists and turns. If the two sides disagreed, the fox demons would immediately launch an attack.

However, the clan leader had ordered them not to kill the invading monsters, so they only wanted to knock out Tousaka Kiyoshi first and then throw him out of their territory.

Seeing that these fox demons had no intention of killing him, Toosaka Kiyoshi held back when counterattacking and only broke their hind legs to restrict their ability to move.

With a monster's physique, an injury of this degree can be recovered after a few days of rest.

After subduing all the monsters, Tousaka Kiyoshi squatted in front of the fox monster that had just spoken, and touched its head with a smile.

"Can you take me to see your clan leader now?"

The fox demon's gaze was unusually determined, and as it opened its mouth it aimed at Tousaka Kiyoshi's arm.

Toosaka Kiyoshi raised his hand to avoid it, looking a little surprised. The law of the jungle is the rule of the monster world. The strong should dominate the weak. If the weak choose to betray under the coercion of another strong person, they will not be hated by the strong person who originally dominated them, because as long as they are strong enough, they can take back the dominance over the weak at any time.

Although Tousaka Kiyoshi has defeated so many monster races along the way, this is the first time he has seen a monster that dares to resist the strong for the sake of "loyalty".

To be honest, he actually admired this spirit. Collective honor or racial consciousness is something that is essential for a civilization. This fox demon race already has the tendency to develop into a civilization.

Their current survival mode is a bit like a tribe, which is very different from the loose situation of other monster tribes who follow a strong man to make do.

However, although he admired it, he felt a little embarrassed by the monster's loyalty.

This mountainous area is so vast. It will take him a long time to find the leader of the fox demon clan by himself.

Toosaka Kiyoshi sighed, "Can't you just tell the truth? I just want to take your clan leader out for a good meal. It's all for her own good. You should take the initiative to take me to see her."

The fox demon still looked at Toosaka Kiyoshi with a very stubborn look.

Tosaka Kiyoshi reached out and grabbed the fox demon's broken leg: "This is the path you chose."

Then he twisted the leg slightly to the left, and the fox demon, who was already enduring great pain, immediately let out a miserable cry.

After a while, the fox demon's screams gradually weakened, and Tosaka Kiyoshi asked again: "Have you changed your mind now?"

The fox demon gave Tousaka Kiyoshi a look of hatred in return.

Toosaka Kiyoshi reached out again, intending to grab the fox demon's hind legs, muttering: "Why do I feel like a villain, breaking into someone else's territory, with the goal of kidnapping someone else's clan leader, and now injuring someone else's men, and still torturing them to extract a confession..."

The muttering did not change the movements of Toosaka Kiyoshi's hands. Just when he was about to give the fox demon in front of him a hard blow, a long fox cry suddenly came from the depths of the forest, followed by an extremely oppressive breath coming towards him across dozens of miles.

Toosaka Kiyoshi stood up easily. The pressure from the great demon was like a breeze to him. The fox demon beside him also immediately paid homage to the powerful aura in the distance.

Obviously, the one who made that cry just now was the patriarch of this fox demon race.

Translating what it wanted to convey, it probably told him to let go of the little demon in front of him and go directly to the depths of the forest to meet it.

Kiyoshi Toosaka grabbed the fox demon beside him and walked into the forest.

The powerful aura was so obvious that he could find the other party without anyone leading the way, but to be on the safe side, he still brought along the fox demon with whom he had just talked.

As for being ambushed if they go too deep? It doesn't matter. If they want to die, then come on. He is not a merciful person.

Although Toosaka Kiyoshi's steps were slow, each step he took would cover a distance of hundreds or even thousands of meters. This was a preliminary application of the laws of space.

Unlike most space transfer magic, Tousaka Kiyoshi directly issues orders to the laws, which are then completed on their own. He only has to think about the process, and no energy is consumed.

Although the manifestation is similar to space transfer magic, the essential difference is enough to allow him to ignore any space restrictions that are not under the law.

In less than two minutes, Tousaka Kiyoshi arrived in front of a cave. The powerful aura was inside the cave.

Without any hesitation, Kiyoshi Toosaka stepped into the suspicious cave, not paying any attention to the fox demons guarding the surrounding area.

As soon as he entered the cave, Tousaka Kiyoshi frowned, and then sighed helplessly.

The sanitary conditions here can only be described as quite poor. Although monsters with a little strength no longer need to excrete, the need to eat still exists.

It is a fantasy to expect monsters to clean up, so leftover animal bones can be seen everywhere in the cave, and some uneaten internal organs are thrown in the corners, already rotting and stinking.

With a faint sigh, Tousaka Kiyoshi looked forward to the arrival of civilization even more.

As he walked deeper into the cave, Kiyoshi Toosaka saw countless fox demons guarding the cave. Each fox looked at him with hatred, as if they wanted to tear his flesh and blood with their eyes. He even thought that the fox demon clan was really going to ambush him.

It was not until he saw the fox demon emitting a powerful aura that Tousaka Kiyoshi understood why there were so many foxes guarding this place.

A beautiful creature with a snow-white body, like an elf, lies in the darkness deep in the cave. The nine fluffy white tails behind it prove its powerful strength. It is a nine-tailed fox.

However, at this time, the nine-tailed fox was lying there weakly, and its bulging belly showed that it had been pregnant for a long time, but its weakness was not only caused by pregnancy, but also by aging.

That’s right. Even though it was extremely powerful and had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, this nine-tailed fox had reached the end of its life. It couldn’t even live to see the baby in its belly being born.

If Toosaka Kiyoshi had arrived a little later, he would probably only be able to collect its corpse.

This made Toosaka Kiyoshi a little depressed. He originally wanted to catch a hard-working laborer, but he didn't expect that there was only a pregnant woman here, and a dying one at that.

Of course, Toosaka Kiyoshi has the means to extend its life, but its current condition is not because it can't hold on due to injuries, but because its life source has been exhausted. Even if it is extended, it is only a temporary solution. After a period of time, it will still die.

If it stayed by my side forever and I continued to prolong its life, it could continue to survive.

But it wouldn't be able to do the job of a thug, so what's the point of keeping it around? Is it just to do good things?

And now there is another question. Why does this nine-tailed fox want to see me? Doesn't it know that it is very weak now? Exposing its weakness in front of strangers, is this really something that the leader of the fox demon tribe who has seen through the abnormality of the war can do?

Tousaka Kiyoshi asked with a try-it attitude: "It was you who ordered that the fox demon clan should not participate in the current war, right?"

The nine-tailed fox let out a cry, admitting the matter, and its voice was full of powerlessness.

Kiyoshi Toosaka even used the power of this world to see into the fox demon's heart and confirm that it was not lying.

Toosaka Kiyoshi was somewhat desperate. He had originally wondered if there might be a military advisor giving him guidance from behind, but now it seemed that was no longer the case.

"Then why did you come to meet me in this state? Even wild beasts know not to show weakness to the enemy, how could you not know that?"

The nine-tailed fox took a deep look at the fox demon in Tousaka Kiyoshi's hand and let out a cry.

Tousaka Kiyoshi was stunned and looked down at the fox demon he had caught.

This thing is actually a nine-tailed fox's child? It doesn't look like it at all! How could a beautiful, elf-like nine-tailed fox give birth to such an ordinary fox demon?

The nine-tailed fox called out again, this time asking Tousaka Kiyoshi to release its child. Tousaka Kiyoshi thought for a while and said, "If you want me to release it, I'll have to exchange it for one of the children you give birth to this time."

If you can't catch the nine-tailed fox, then catch one of its children.

This big fox is so smart and strong, so its children can't be too bad, I think.

Moreover, he can bring him up by his side since he is young, so not only can he enjoy the fun of training him, but he doesn't even need to use something like the Command Spell, which is a coercive thing, which makes him feel more at ease.

The nine-tailed fox naturally disagreed. Just as he was about to refuse, Tousaka Kiyoshi continued, "In addition to letting it go, I can also help you prolong your life and ensure that you can die after giving birth to this litter of children. I can even give you some extra time to settle all the affairs of the clan."

The nine-tailed fox fell silent. It was moved because it really couldn't be sure whether it could live to see the birth of its child, let alone deal with the affairs of the tribe after giving birth.

But the price of agreeing is losing a child, which makes it difficult to accept subjectively.

After considering for a moment, the nine-tailed fox made a decision and called out its agreement to Tousaka Kiyoshi.

However, in addition to agreeing, she also had a request. She wanted the strange-looking monster in front of her to take good care of her children.

Tousaka Qing nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it. It will live better with me than staying in the tribe."

After both parties agreed, Toosaka Kiyoshi let go of the fox in his hand. He was not worried that the nine-tailed fox would go back on her word. If she did that, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

After protecting the child with broken legs in its arms, the nine-tailed fox asked Kiyoshi Toosaka how he would prolong her life.

Tousaka Kiyoshi cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and said, "Use this."

The nine-tailed fox's eyes immediately stared at the blood dripping in Toosaka Kiyoshi's palm, and its breathing gradually became heavy.

As a genuine god, his blood is a great tonic for ordinary creatures. If one can eat a bite of his flesh and blood and then survive the divine punishment, then it is possible to gain eternal life.

Tousaka Kiyoshi collected the blood and said, "You should calm down. Even if your entire tribe is combined, you can't beat me. Don't even think about stealing things from me."

After Tousaka Kiyoshi said this, the nine-tailed fox gradually came to its senses.

It is indeed as Kiyoshi Toosaka said, all the monsters combined may not be able to defeat Kiyoshi Toosaka. Until now, it can only feel the ordinariness and mediocrity from Kiyoshi Toosaka, just like the flowers and plants on the roadside. This is obviously very abnormal.

Generally, only when the gap in strength is too great will one be unable to detect the other party's abnormality.

After that, Toosaka Kiyoshi settled down in the fox demon's territory, and every once in a while, he would go to extend the life of the nine-tailed fox.

At first, the fox demons here were disgusted with his existence, until they learned that he was extending the life of the clan leader. The attitude of the entire fox demon clan changed 180 degrees, which shows how high the prestige of the nine-tailed fox is here.

If things developed according to the original plan, if he wanted to forcibly take away the leader of the fox demon clan, he would probably have to kill more than 80% of the fox demons here.

And since he had killed so many of the Nine-tailed Fox's tribesmen, it was impossible for it to cooperate with him in anything.

Even with the mandatory constraints of the Command Spell, getting along with each other would be quite troublesome, and he would be exhausted by then, which was contrary to his original purpose.

The current situation may be the best direction of development.

Three years later, in that unremarkable cave, the fox demons had cleaned it up a lot at the request of Toosaka Kiyoshi.

The white nine-tailed fox was lying helplessly on the ground, looking weak and groaning faintly.

At this time, she had reached the most critical moment of delivery. She was already weak, and coupled with the pain brought by delivery, the whole delivery process was like a long punishment for her.

Her life was like a candle in the wind, which could flicker and go out at any time.

Toosaka Kiyoshi stood nearby, ready to extend the life of the Nine-tailed Fox if it could not hold on any longer. However, to his surprise, although the Nine-tailed Fox looked like it would die at any moment, it actually managed to hold on intactly.

"Five in a litter, all healthy."

After hearing what Toosaka Kiyoshi said, the Nine-tailed Fox's tense nerves finally relaxed. Its eyes rolled back and it fainted.

The nine-tailed fox was unconscious for three days. If it hadn't been breathing and having a heartbeat, and hadn't been able to produce milk for its children, Kiyoshi Toosaka would have thought it was going to die.

When he woke up again, the Nine-tailed Fox breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the five little figures in his arms who had not yet opened their eyes. Then he cast a grateful look at Tousaka Kiyoshi.

It knew that if it weren't for Tousaka Kiyoshi, it would have died more than two years ago.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm only helping you because we both need what we need."

However, the nine-tailed fox still looked at him with eyes full of gratitude, as if he was the father of the cub in its arms.

Toosaka Kiyoshi felt uncomfortable being stared at, and quickly retreated: "I'll come back in a few days."

After a few days, Toosaka Kiyoshi returned to the nine-tailed fox again. The little fox would be opening its eyes in the next few days, and it would be best for him to be by its side by then so that he could become familiar with it.

Chapter 173 The Beginning of the Mythological Era

A month later, the nine-tailed fox's children began to grow hair. Among the five little foxes, one was white, two were tan, one was light gray, and the other was a brighter light golden color.

The tan and light gray little foxes are relatively ordinary, just like the fox demon that Tousaka Kiyoshi caught before. Whether they can become a monster depends on luck.

The white fox inherited the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox and was born with two tails. Its future is limitless.

Although the light golden fox did not have the innate advantage of entering the realm of monsters at birth, it was extremely intelligent. When it was just over a month old, it could understand what Tousaka Kiyoshi said.

Moreover, compared to his mother, this light golden fox is closer to Kiyoshi Toosaka. Even Kiyoshi Toosaka feels a sense of closeness from it.

Kiyoshi Toosaka speculated that this was because the nine-tailed fox had absorbed his blood during pregnancy, and the power in the blood was absorbed by the pale golden little fox, so the fox was particularly close to him.

"Why not take this one?" Toosaka Kiyoshi thought to himself.

Compared to the little white fox that inherited the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox, he is more optimistic about the little golden fox that absorbed the power of his blood.

But it is too early now. We have to wait at least two months after it is born and weaned before taking it away. Before that, let the nine-tailed fox help raise it.

The youkai was weaned earlier than Toosaka Kiyoshi expected. When the youkai was one and a half months old, the nine-tailed fox tried to feed meat to the white fox and the golden fox.

But Tousaka Kiyoshi had to wait for two months before he came to the nine-tailed fox holding a golden fox that was about thirty or forty centimeters long.

"It's almost time. I plan to take it away. You may never see each other again. Say goodbye to it."

When the nine-tailed fox heard what Tousaka Kiyoshi said, a hint of reluctance flashed in its eyes.

It had expected Kiyoshi Toosaka's choice, because this child was the only one who was close to Kiyoshi Toosaka during this period, and it was ready to lose this child.

But when this day really comes, its heart is still filled with reluctance.

The nine-tailed fox roared at Tousaka Kiyoshi, who was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Is it really that serious? This was something we agreed on at the beginning."

The nine-tailed fox roared with a determined look in his eyes, once again clearly expressing his meaning.

Kiyoshi Toosaka put the fox in his arms on the ground, patted its butt, signaled it to run away, and then looked at the nine-tailed fox in front of him.

"Before we start fighting, let me confirm once more. Do you really want to use fighting to test whether I can guarantee the safety of your child?"

"I will leave after this time and will not extend your life. If you are injured in battle, you will not live for many days."

"If you take good care of yourself in your current condition, you can still live a few more years. Is it really necessary to do this?"
