Chapter 39 Little Fox
"Xiaoyi, something's wrong." Long Er's words interrupted Lingyi's monologue.
"What's wrong, Long Er?"
'There's a sound in the woods on the left.'
……
When Lingyi was running through a bush, Long'er suddenly shouted. Long'er was the soul in Lingyi's body, so only Lingyi could hear that voice.
Lingyi immediately crawled on the ground, quietly pushed aside the bushes, and moved to the right.
"Long'er, what's going on?" Lingyi asked. A layer of silver-blue air waves covered the left half of Lingyi's cheek, and then a dark blue horn shadow slowly appeared on his forehead. The iris of Lingyi's left eye was also dyed dark blue in an instant.
And the moment that eye appeared, the weeds in front of Lingyi instantly turned transparent, an endless expanse of transparent color without any obstruction, as if being able to see through the obstruction of the jungle.
We walked forward for at least thirty or forty meters before we saw the abnormal situation.
It was a little fox, leaning against a big tree, and in front of it were three humanoid monsters. Their specific appearances could not be seen clearly, but their eyes were glowing red, they were holding wooden sticks in their hands, and their heads were twisting in strange movements from time to time. In terms of height, they looked like children in their teens, but they exuded a terrifying aura.
That aura was not due to his strength, but to the emptiness in his heart. It was like a bottomless pit, empty and hollow. If one fell into it, it would be impossible to climb out forever.
"What kind of monster is that?" Lingyi asked, taking out a dagger from his bracelet.
"It should be a goblin. I'm not sure about the others. I only know that their individual capabilities are very weak, but their group combat capabilities are very strong." Long Er conveyed to Lingyi with his mind.
"Goblin? I've seen it in Uncle Yan's casting record. I didn't expect it to look exactly like a child." Lingyi was puzzled, and crawled forward on his stomach to avoid disturbing them.
"Goblins come in all shapes and sizes. The ones we're seeing now should just be ordinary goblins. I just don't know if there are any camps around here," Long Er continued to convey with his thoughts.
"Yes, the social goblins have camps in the wild. How far is here from the village?" Lingyi said, and immediately looked in the direction they were originally moving in.
It was like a magnifying glass, magnifying the scene in front of it again and again, until it saw a grassland at the end of the woods and a village at the other end of the grassland.
"This distance is about one or two kilometers, which is quite close." Long Er interpreted what he saw in his eyes.
"Looks like I have to try it out. I didn't expect to encounter goblins in this forest. I have to make some preparations."
……
"Hmm..." A chestnut-colored fox stared fiercely at the goblin in front of it. The fox was very small, probably only about 10 to 20 centimeters, about the same size as a kitten.
The goblin in front of the fox tilted his head and looked at the little fox, blocking the three directions in front of the fox and approaching the little fox together.
A golden light flickered on the little fox's belly, and then a ball of fire slowly condensed in front of the little fox's mouth. The fox's mouth was filled with hot flames, and then it was spit out.
The fireball hit the goblin right in front of the fox hard. The goblin right in front of the fox was burned by the flames and fell backwards. He rolled on the ground desperately, trying to put out the flames on his body.
Seeing this, the goblins on both sides of the little fox rushed forward. The little fox jumped to the left and stepped on the head of the goblin on the left.
Seeing this, the goblin on the right wanted to swing the stick in his hand at the little fox. The little fox jumped hard again, and the stick hit the goblin in the face. The goblin rolled on the ground, covering his nose.
"Ah!" The goblin roared at the little fox high in the sky.
The little fox was in mid-air, and golden light shone from its chest again. A ball of fire appeared in front of its mouth again, but it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its left leg. When it looked back, it found that there was a severe scratch on its left leg, which was flashing with a pitch-black light, so it was still very obvious on the little fox.
The little fox didn't react in time, and the flame that had just condensed in its mouth disappeared instantly and fell down.
The goblin roared, swung the wooden stick in his hand, and hit the little fox hard on the back.
The little fox coughed up blood, was knocked flying, hit the tree trunk, and rolled to the ground.
"Ah!" The goblins howled in victory, and then the goblin that was burned by flames stood up again, the flames on its body had disappeared completely. The goblin that was hit by the wooden stick also stood up again, the feeling of dizziness had disappeared, and the three goblins surrounded the little fox again.
The little fox lay on the ground, trying his best to stand up, but he could not straighten his limbs no matter what. He rose and fell slightly but fell to the ground again.
"Elder, I'm sorry... maybe I shouldn't have come out..."
……
The little fox's chest emitted golden light again, but the golden light was a little weak. It lit up but was in a flickering state.
A cold light flashed, and an arrow flew over the little fox's head and hit the back of a goblin's head.
The goblin on the left side of the little fox was shot in the back of the head and knelt forward, startling the other two goblins. The little fox was also shocked by its sudden action.
Then it fell forward and almost fell on the little fox, but the little fox no longer had the strength to escape. At the moment the goblin hit the little fox, the goblin's body exploded instantly, without generating much impact or air waves, only thick black smoke.
The arrow also fell in front of the little fox. Before the little fox could react, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the left.
Zero-One jumped out from the bushes, with a light flashing on his forehead, and charged towards the goblin.
He retracted the crossbow in his hand, then raised the dagger in his hand and rushed towards the two goblins with a cold light in his eyes. The two goblins couldn't help but be startled when they saw those eyes. Even the little fox, who was slow to react, was frightened and trembled when he saw those eyes.
"Xiaoyi, do you have any idea?"
"Uncle Yan's casting records record that they are not magical beasts that evolved from animals, and generally speaking they don't have any special fatal weaknesses."
"Then how can we deal with it if it has no weaknesses? It has three heads."
"Who says that fatal weaknesses must be special? They are just living creatures after all, and the weaknesses of living creatures are limited to a few places..."
Zero One jumped high and landed behind the little fox. The two goblins never took their eyes off Zero One, so when Zero One landed on the ground, they immediately raised the sticks in their hands and smashed at Zero One.
Lingyi dodged a wooden stick by leaning sideways, then turned his hand to the dagger and stabbed the goblin's neck with his right hand quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
Puff! Blood gushed out instantly, soaking Zero One's snow-white hair, but there was still one goblin alive. After seeing his companion's tragic death, he immediately roared loudly, trying to avenge his companion.
However, as soon as the goblin roared, Lingyi's left hand was immediately covered with a layer of snow-white scales. He grabbed the goblin's cheek, covered his mouth, and lifted it up high.
"Don't be anxious, come one by one." Lingyi's voice was mixed with Long Er's voice. He slowly turned his head. The azure shadow of horns had appeared on the left half of Lingyi's face, and his left eye also turned as azure blue as the sea.
The goblin was stunned and wanted to resist, but the goblin who had just been stabbed in the neck by Zero-One instantly turned into a ball of black smoke.
As black smoke enveloped Zero One's body, the goblin's vision was blocked and he could not see Zero One's location. In the darkness, the left hand that was holding the goblin slowly emitted a white light and squeezed it hard.
Boom! The last goblin was crushed by Zero One and turned into black smoke, drifting away.
Lingyi turned around and found that the little fox was baring its teeth at him, as if resisting a wild beast, with the hair on its body standing up, a bit like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Are you okay?" Lingyi said, taking back the dagger in his hand, his left hand returned to its original appearance, his face returned to normal, and he walked towards the little fox.
But the little fox took a step back: "Huh..." The little fox let out a warning growl, but its painful body prevented it from moving any further.
The wound on his right foot was exposed to Lingyi, who then became anxious: "Are you injured? Does it hurt? Is it serious?" Lingyi said, and quickly stretched out his hands to grab the little fox.
The little fox roared at Lingyi and shouted at him to stay away.
As a result, just as the little fox finished roaring, he found that there was a phantom inside Lingyi's body, like a dragon head, roaring at the little fox.
"Roar!" The loud noise immediately scared the little fox out of his wits, and he fainted with his eyes rolled back.
"Hey! Hey!" Lingyi was a little anxious. He held the little fox in his arms and gently rubbed the little fox's face, but the little fox fainted and did not respond. "What's going on? Why did it faint?"
"Ahem, who knows, hehe." Long Er pretended to be calm as if he had done something wrong, but Lingyi didn't feel anything.
Because that sound was the pressure released from the depths of the soul towards the other party, a blood-suppressing ability that has been passed down for thousands of years. Lingyi did not hear this eternal call, but instead felt a little guilty, wondering if his actions were too extreme and caused it to faint.
……
"Ryuji, what is your ability?" Lingyi thought to himself.
"Hehe, you don't understand, it's useful, right? That's right! I'm really awesome, hahahaha." Long Er didn't answer Ling Yi right away, but instead boasted for a while.
"Yes, yes, it's amazing, but I'm still more curious about what it can do." Lingyi answered perfunctorily.
"Hehe, okay, then I'll let you open your eyes!" Long Er said with an unusually proud smile.
'Your left eye has evolved with my magic power, and now has the same vision as mine. This ability is called the "Dragon King's Eyes," which allows you to have perspective, farsightedness, and other abilities, including your ability to see the flow of magic power.'
"In addition, your limbs have been strengthened by me. After all, I used to prefer close combat."
'Your limbs have already acquired some dragon-like abilities, possessing extremely powerful destructive and grasping power, and as your cultivation level increases, your abilities will become stronger.'
'More importantly, your limbs can even grab magical substances, such as some magic skills. You can grab them at will now, of course, under the premise that you can grab them. If the opponent is too strong, it will still be the same if you can't grab them and let them go.'
'This ability is called "Silver Dragon Claw". How about it? Isn't it very powerful, majestic and domineering! '
"Right, right, right. Long Er is the best, but we still have to see how the little fox is injured first."
'Listen to me, Xiaoyi!'
……
Lingyi sat cross-legged beside the stream, the golden light on his forehead slowly lighting up. He lowered his head to groom the little fox's hair. The little fox lay on Lingyi's thighs, its whole body radiating a golden light.
"What is that black thing on the wound?" Lingyi said, and saw the wound on the little fox's leg. Although the wound was not big, it was emitting a dark air wave.
"These are the marks left after being attacked by monsters like goblins. They seem to increase their numbers in this way." Long Er's voice echoed in Ling Yi's mind.
But Lingyi couldn't make the connection between the two sentences: "Ah? Why, if a scratch leaves a mark, it will become a goblin? How is this the same as the "zombies" in "Resident Evil"? "
