Chapter 14 The Swordsman
Gu Changqing remembered a story about bats he read when he was very young.More precisely, a fable.
Bats not only have the wings of birds, but also give birth to breastfeeding, so they can't determine whether they are birds or beasts. Under the dilemma, they can't be tolerated by any party in the end, so they have to hide silently in the darkest corner. Come out to feed in the darkest nights.
Now, he thinks he feels what a bat feels like.
Grandma glared at him fiercely, got up and left.There were some foxes behind her, and they all looked at Chang Qing inexplicably, and left in silence with Grandma Grandma.
It seemed to be a silent condemnation, making him sit on pins and needles.
what am i doingHe thought, what the hell am I trying to do?Both parties wanted to take care of them, but they couldn't do anything for both of them. For a moment, all the luck turned to ashes, and the panic that he deliberately suppressed in his heart gushed out, and he was extremely confused.
The man lit a big fire on the spot, and he found some wild honey from nowhere, spread it on the barbecue, and poured some juice on it, and the aroma filled the air, and the air was full of sweet and sour fruity smells and rich barbecue. taste.He looked around, and then found out exactly where Gu Changqing was, and raised the barbecue in his hand towards him.
This is the tacit understanding they have developed over the past few days, which means "you can share and eat".
Gu Changqing naturally found that the man's senses were extraordinarily sensitive, and he secretly admired him at first, but now he felt indescribably heavy.He took two steps forward, ran out of the bushes, and looked at the man from a distance, but didn't get any closer.The man continued to raise his hand at him, and Gu Changqing took two steps back.
The man seemed to understand something, glanced at the fruit in the distance - the view here is very good, the red fruit hanging on the branch can be seen clearly, the color seems to flow under the silver moonlight - some self-deprecating smile She smiled: "It seems that you won't eat with me anymore."
Gu Changqing looked at him with some seriousness.
Xiao Heng restrained his smile, and said as if talking to himself and explaining: "Me too, I can't help myself."
After finishing speaking, he began to eat on his own. Gu Changqing looked over from a distance, and actually saw a trace of loneliness from his usual movements.
What is there for him to be disappointed?In his eyes, he was just a greedy little fox who followed him secretly.After thinking about it, maybe the mountains are too lonely, don't I follow him around every day?
Very subtly, Gu Changqing felt that he had sensed the loneliness of a man.
Lin Feng roared, like a sharp hissing against the eardrums.Gu Changqing took one last look at the man before turning his head and running away.
If he had to make a choice, it would be the meticulous care of Father Fox and Mother Fox that moved him even more, and the innocence of Long Tail made him even more reluctant.
Back to the cave where I haven't been back for several days, only the long tail is there.The little guy was a little scared, and when he saw Chang Qing, he whimpered and rushed over.
"Brother Changqing." He used an address he didn't usually use, and Changqing felt a little cold in his small body that flung himself into his arms.
"Why is Changwei home alone? Where are your parents?"
"My parents have gone to the clan, it seems to be about that alien human being." Nagao said.
Changqing's heart tightened, and he sighed silently.
"Will we fight with that human? It seems that I heard that humans who can climb snow-capped mountains are very powerful." Nagao said that although he is still young, wild animals always have a terrible intuition, and he also feels that the storm is about to come. The smell of the building is full, "Can we beat it?"
Gu Changqing didn't know either, he could tell that the man's skills were very strong, and his internal strength was even more weird. Before crossing, he had already practiced the Qingxuan Kung Fu to the fifth level, but if he started fighting with a man, he wouldn't be sure.Now it has only reached the peak of the second floor, and it has the appearance of a little fox, which is basically crushed.
But he came here not long ago, so he didn't know how the situation of the fox clan was. He thought that these born elves always had some means to save their lives.But his thoughts turned back and forth, no matter how powerful the white fox was, all he could do now seemed to be to comfort the worried Long Tail, and soon he hated his own helplessness.
The day of the full moon is getting closer.
The usual happy atmosphere obviously did not appear. Every adult white fox came and went in a hurry, as if they were setting up something, which was rather dignified.The man's every move was watched by the white fox, but he didn't seem to care at all, but his eyes became colder and sharper, showing a murderous look.So the white foxes moved a little further away, and the number of stalking increased, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.
All the families hid the cubs deeply in the caves, and they were not allowed to go out and play at will.Mother Fox began to watch Changqing and Changwei all night long, while Father Fox was still busy in the clan, Gu Changqing hadn't been able to wait for Father Fox to return to the cave in the past few days.
Seeing that the sun is setting and the moon is about to rise.
Today is the night of the full moon, mother fox is a little anxious, circling in circles in the cave, looking out from time to time.The outside looks very peaceful and peaceful, but everyone knows that this is the short period of tranquility before the war, and the air seems to be affected by the dignified atmosphere, like a taut string.
Gu Changqing kept turning a thought in his mind: If he hadn't meddled in his own business back then, if that man had just died like this...
Then there won't be so many things after that.But no matter how he looked back, if time went back, he would still stand up to stop his grandma, and he still couldn't bear to watch a big living person die in front of him.It's just that the consequences brought about now are so heavy that he can't afford it.
He really couldn't bear this tense atmosphere, so he asked Mother Fox without words: "Do you have to fight with that human?"
Mother Fox said: "If that person's goal is indeed our clan's sacred object, then there is no other way."
Chang Qing said: "Didn't it mean that the red bead fairy fruit is both precious and not so precious to the clan?"
Mother Fox sighed: "But it belongs to my family, and it will absolutely not tolerate foreign things."
Gu Changqing couldn't quite understand the logic.
Mother Fox explained: "You think, if you have worked so hard to kill a prey, and suddenly a rock python comes out to snatch your prey, would you be willing to obediently give it to him?"
Gu Changqing said: "It depends on whether I can beat it. Of course I won't give it if I can beat it. If I can't beat it, I will give it to it first, and then I will settle accounts with it after I beat it."
He reacted and felt a little more relaxed: "We are not afraid of that man, right? Are we sure of victory?"
Mother Fox was silent for a while: "Maybe I can't win, that human is very powerful."
Gu Changqing was taken aback. Although he knew that the man was very skilled, he didn't expect the whole white fox clan with countless old fairies to join him, so he still felt unsure.After thinking about it, he finally asked cautiously, "Then why are you still preparing for the battle?"
Mother Fox: "Maybe my previous analogy is wrong. The red bead fairy fruit is not as simple as a prey, it is a kind, a kind of symbol. How we distribute it internally is our business, but it must not be handed over to other races."
Gu Changqing asked: "Then what if we can't fight?"
Mother Fox hesitated for a while, seeming to organize her words: "Then we will send all the cubs to a safe place."
If Changqing was an ordinary little fox who was still ignorant, he would naturally not be able to hear the words, but after all, he had lived for more than 20 years before crossing, and he immediately heard the ominous meaning: the meaning of the mother fox turned out to be Chenghu. Basically, they will die in battle, send the cubs away, and leave at most a few adult foxes to take care of them.
After doing this, he suddenly became anxious: "Can't you just give the fruit to that person if you can't beat it?"
Mother Fox shook her head without hesitation: "If you don't even have the courage to fight to the death, then as early as when raptors invaded in groups, when rock pythons became a disaster, or when grandma and grandma had humans invading in search of the White Fox Demon Pill, the White Fox Clan I don't know how many times it has perished. Although the white fox loves peace, it will never be afraid of any powerful force."
As a human being, Changqing actually doesn't quite understand the spirit of "Although I don't need it very much, but I must hold on to it" and "I know you are strong, but I still have to fight to the end". Seeing the resolute expression on Mother Fox's face, she suddenly became anxious: "Then why don't you negotiate first and see how far the two sides can make concessions? Let's fight if we can't reach an agreement?"
Mother Fox looked at him in surprise, as if wondering why he had such an idea: "But the other party is a human being, and they can't communicate with each other, and doesn't he make it clear that he wants to grab the fairy fruit?"
Gu Changqing: "... Isn't there an old man in the clan who can transform into form? Why can't we try to communicate first?"
Mother Fox took it for granted: "The old-timers who can transform into shapes but not go out of the mountain are not interested in the human world, so naturally they don't know how to learn human languages."
Gu Changqing: "..."
So the two sides actually lack a translator, right?
His breathing became rapid: "If we can communicate, if we ask the other party to exchange something, is it possible not to fight?"
Mother Fox hesitated: "The moon will rise soon, even if it can be changed, the human will not be able to find it temporarily, right?"
Changqing said anxiously: "Then what if we let that person make up later?"
Mother Fox has obviously never encountered such a situation, and hesitated: "But we don't have anyone who can communicate..."
Gu Changqing held his breath: "I can."
Mother Fox was dumbfounded: "What?"
Gu Changqing quickly said: "I can communicate with humans. I have been dreaming recently. In the dream, someone kept teaching me human characters, and then I learned it. Don't ask me why, I don't know why, you can take me to Is it in the clan? Can you ask everyone if it can be done by exchanging?"
Mother Fox was stunned by this unexpected situation, Gu Changqing jumped up and down in front of her anxiously, so Mother Fox didn't care about thinking, she grabbed the little soft skin around his neck and ran out.
Mother Fox and Chang Qing were desperately running towards the clan.
Father Fox and the elders are arranging layer upon layer of phantom formations.Although the pure combat power of the fox tribe is not very high, the old guys who have cultivated to be fine have extremely strong mental power. The ecstasy array can make even the most powerful opponent get lost in it instantly.
Xiao Heng watched the red sun set in the west and the full moon gradually rise. The surrounding white foxes looked at him more vigilantly, and slowly stood up.It seems that the legend is true: the fox spirit fruit is the treasure of the white foxes, and anyone who wants to attack them must go through a battle first.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it didn't soften his face, but turned colder instead.
He thought nonchalantly, after so many ups and downs in the world, would he still be afraid of a few foxes?Well, the big deal is for that little fox a few days ago, try to minimize casualties.
At this time, none of them knew that a greater crisis for the White Fox Clan was coming.
