Chapter 85: The Xiaobai Fox

There are plenty of animals; it's not like one absolutely has to catch a fox to say sweet nothings, but the key is, isn't he bored right now?

He can't just float above the woods, waiting idly for players to come by.

Besides.

That little fox is really quite pretty...

Xishan is full of Fierce Beasts.

Tigers, leopards, wolves, bears, and many other large, ferocious beasts often prowl the mountains; even more common are herbivores like rabbits, squirrels, monkeys, and sika deer; as well as snakes, lynxes, and the like...

Perhaps because this world is rich in Spirit Qi, the beasts in the forest are much larger than those on Earth, and their temperaments are much more ferocious as well.

It is said that monsters and evil spirits also haunt the deep mountains, and with the mountains being high and the forests dense, usually, apart from experienced hunters and herb gatherers, almost no one is willing to go up the mountain.

One reason is the fear of venomous insects and ferocious beasts, and the second is the fear of getting lost in the forest and being trapped there until death.

Therefore, the prices for the fur, meat, and bones of Fierce Beasts remain high.

In this world, hunters and herb gatherers are both considered high-risk professions; as long as they have a way to put food on the table, ordinary people are absolutely unwilling to engage in these two trades.

Only players who aren't afraid of death are keen on fighting monsters and leveling up in the forest.

When he first transmigrated, Lin Bai would absolutely not have chosen to enter the forest.

But now, he is an expert possessing several decades of Internal Energy, and his most useful Martial Art for movement, Wood Cloud Traverse, is related to trees; entering the mountain forest is like a fish in water, and he is no longer so fearful of the mountains and forests.

Cancel Morning Flight.

Lin Bai channeled Wood Cloud Traverse and stepped onto the treetops. He took out a few Zhangdu Pills, aimed through the gaps in the branches at the white fox's direction, and with a flick of his finger, shot out the few pills that were emitting a fragrant aroma.

The little fox was attracted by the aroma of the Zhangdu Pills, so Lin Bai naturally had to cater to its preferences.

Otherwise.

He really might not be able to catch that little fox.

After all.

Wood Cloud Traverse is a Martial Art rewarded by the Wanwu Youque System; it can only move quickly on treetops, and as soon as he lands, his true form is revealed.

Bow Body Single Shadow is a short-distance sprinting Martial Art that moves in short, straight lines; relying on it to catch a fox in the mountain forest would definitely result in him crashing into a tree.

He couldn't exactly use Xianglong Shipi Zhang to hit a fox!

It's strange enough to say sweet nothings to a fox; saying them to a dead fox would truly make him a pervert...

The few Zhangdu Pills landed precisely on the path the white fox was taking. Lin Bai stood on the treetop, shook the bottle in his hand, and said softly, "Little fox, don't run, I'm giving you something to eat..."

The Zhangdu Pills emitted an extreme fragrance, which dispersed in just a moment.

When the pills had just come out of the furnace, the aroma covered the entire City Lord's Mansion; even someone as calm as Xu Longyun was attracted by the meaty scent, let alone a wild little fox.

Lin Bai had absolute confidence in the pills he refined.

The little white fox looked up at Lin Bai on the treetop, then looked at the Zhangdu Pills within arm's reach. It subconsciously took a few steps forward, but then immediately stopped and took a step back, looking alert as if it wanted to eat them but didn't dare...

Lin Bai found it amusing and muttered to himself, "Little fox, I just ate some myself, what are you worried about? If I really wanted to harm you, a little thing like you would be dead with one slap..."

Suddenly.

A rustling sound suddenly came from beneath Lin Bai's feet.

His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked around.

In the dark jungle, a lone wolf, a spotted leopard, and a wild boar were charging headlong toward the Zhangdu Pills from three different directions.

Lin Bai was stunned.

Do Zhangdu Pills also have the effect of attracting beasts?

The little fox also sensed the situation around it. It held its breath, and while Lin Bai's attention was drawn by the commotion nearby, it lunged forward fiercely, snatched up a Zhangdu Pill, and swallowed it.

The extreme deliciousness instantly made its eyes light up. Feeling that nothing had changed in its body, it recklessly charged forward a few steps, swallowed all the pills on the ground in one go, and then turned to dive into the bushes...

But as soon as it turned, it collapsed onto the ground. Its little belly was bloated like a basketball, and it rolled its eyes, letting out a painful whimper.

It struggled, wanting to escape, but the cramping pain in its abdomen was so intense that it couldn't even roll over.

Seeing the little fox's miserable state, Lin Bai dropped down from the tree, reached out and grabbed the little white fox by the scruff of its neck, and lifted it up. Looking at its bloated belly, he shook his head and laughed, "Eating one is a delicacy, but eating too many becomes poison. Gluttony is also a sin!"

The little fox was terrified and turned its head, wanting to bite Lin Bai, but because it was held by the scruff of its neck—the place of its fate—and because of the unbearable abdominal pain, it couldn't turn its head around at all.

"You look really good, and you don't have any strange odor. It wouldn't be bad to keep you as a pet after saying my sweet nothings," Lin Bai muttered to himself while stroking the soft, long fur on the little white fox's back.

Lin Bai was just about to fly up with his prey.

Suddenly.

The little fox stopped struggling.

The next second, a foul odor sprayed out from its rear.

"Holy crap!"

Lin Bai was caught off guard. Stunned by the foul odor, he loosened his grip, and the fox fell to the ground.

The little white fox endured the pain and, ignoring the bloating in its abdomen, struggled to escape.

But Lin Bai's Palm Thunder had already been activated, and the lightning naturally fell upon the little creature that had just farted.

Zzzzt!

The little white fox's snow-white fur stood up on end, fluffing it into a little white ball of fur.

As if it hadn't expected Lin Bai to release lightning, the little white fox, having fallen to the ground, froze there, looking at Lin Bai in terror, not daring to move at all.

At the same time.

The fastest of the bunch, the spotted leopard, happened to charge over. Lin Bai, who had just gotten a noseful of the foul fart, was in a bad mood and backhanded a strike of "Dragon Occupies the Wild" at it.

The remnant of a half-golden dragon slammed into the spotted leopard, knocking it flying three meters away. It crashed into a thick tree trunk, bleeding from its seven orifices, and fell limply to the ground.

It died instantly.

Most wild beasts tend to seek advantages and avoid harm; seeing this scene, the wild boar and the lone wolf slammed on the brakes, both turned around, and dove back into the dense forest without looking back...

Looking at the corpse of the spotted leopard, the little white fox curled up on the ground, closed its eyes, and shivered, letting out one mournful cry after another, as if it believed its life was nearing its end!

Waving his hand to disperse the stench around him and looking at the terrified little fox, Lin Bai's expression was somewhat conflicted: "Damn it, it can even fart; who can stand this?"

But the little white fox, having been shocked by the Palm Thunder and still having a bloated belly, looked even cuter than before, just like something that had run out of a cartoon.

Lin Bai really couldn't bear to release this little thing back into nature; after thinking for a moment, he reached out and grabbed the little fox again, threatening, "Fart again, and I'll be damned!"

Crack!

A bolt of Palm Thunder landed on the corpse of the dead spotted leopard, and the corpse emitted a puff of black smoke.

"Still farting." Lin Bai forcibly turned the white fox toward the leopard, struck it with a Dragon Occupies the Wild, blasted the spotted leopard's corpse into pieces, and then turned its head back, "Do you understand?"

The little white fox was scared silly, staring at him with two eyes in a foolishly cute way, its tail quietly tucked between its two hind legs, blocking its little chrysanthemum.

"That's right, it's quite clever, that's exactly what I mean." Lin Bai flicked its tail, nodded with satisfaction, activated Morning Flight, returned to the sky above the forest, and with a Bow Body Single Shadow, left the area shrouded in the stench.

Little did he know.

When he shot out into the air, the little fox in his palm suddenly widened its eyes, revealing a trace of human-like horror.

Floating above the woods, Lin Bai took a deep breath of fresh air, took the bottle containing the Zhangdu Pill out of his bosom, and continued to train the fox: "If you are obedient, I will reward you with something delicious; if you are not obedient..." He paused, switched the fox to his other hand, grabbed its face, and pointed it forward, "Mountain Before Has a Cui Thick Leg, Mountain Behind Has a Cui Leg Thick, the two came to the front of the mountain to compare legs..."

Lin Bai suddenly began to recite the strange "thick leg, thick leg" stuff for no reason, and the little white fox had not yet figured out what he was trying to do.

Crack!

A thick bolt of lightning had already flown out from Lin Bai's palm, splitting a tall tree at the edge of the forest right down the middle, cracking it into two pieces...

The little white fox's eyes instantly went round, the fur on its body stood up one by one, its throat rolled, and it subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

If its eyes had only held horror just a moment ago, then now, it was absolute terror.

At the same time.

In the dense forest beneath Lin Bai's feet, a white fox with three tails on its back was traveling rapidly through the woods, but the moment the lightning fell, the white fox suddenly stopped its pace.

She looked up at Lin Bai's figure in the sky, and a look of struggle flashed across her eyes.

She stood blankly for a moment.

A tear slid from the corner of her eye, and the three-tailed white fox quietly retreated back into the mountain forest: "Xiao Qi, you must pray for your own luck! Mother is incompetent and cannot save you..."
