Just when Ji Beichen was distracted, Yan Yueli's gasping voice came from behind: "Ah... Chen..."
The seductive breathing sound kept reaching his ears, and Ji Beichen's blood suddenly surged, and he put aside all reason and ran over. He didn't have time to think about jumping directly into the spiritual spring, but he could no longer hear Yan Yueli's voice. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and Yan Yueli couldn't be seen at all.
Ji Beichen broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that there was something in this spiritual spring? Did she just encounter it... Oops, Li'er was struggling to ask for help from him just now. Alas, he actually...
Thinking of this, Ji Beichen shouted anxiously: "Li'er! Li'er, where are you?"
He shouted in the Lingquan Pool for a long time but did not see Yan Yueli. Just as he was about to dive into the bottom of the pool to look for her, he suddenly heard Yan Yueli's cry again from the other side of the Lingquan Pool: "Achen! Come here quickly!"
Ji Beichen was overjoyed and swam over regardless of his own safety. He didn't care that he was soaked and ran towards Yan Yueli. The moment he saw Yan Yueli, he really felt relieved.
"It's so heavy. Why did you come here?" Yan Yueli called Ji Beichen over without even raising her eyes, concentrating on the little furry thing in her arms with a look of worry on her face.
"Is this...a fox?" Ji Beichen came closer and saw clearly what was in her arms. It turned out to be a red fox. Judging from the number of tails, it should be a three-tailed fox.
Spirit foxes are very rare in Jiujie Mountain, but there should be more than one in this spiritually-rich Trial Valley. According to the fox's habit of living in groups, it is obvious that this spirit fox was left alone for some reason. It came to this spirit spring to drink water because it was thirsty, but was attacked by the spirit bird.
Yan Yueli nodded slightly, stroked the fur on the head of the spirit fox, and said leisurely: "When I found the spirit fox by the spiritual spring, it was being attacked by a group of spiritual birds. It must have been that the spirit fox had robbed them of their water source. After that, I will When the spirit bird drove away, it had already passed out. When I called you over, I was holding it and moving it towards the rock..."
Yan Yueli explained the whole story. When she looked up and saw Ji Beichen standing wet in front of her, she suddenly lost interest in the spirit fox in her arms. She opened her mouth in surprise and didn't know where to start her question.
Ji Beichen took off Wang Yuanting's robe. After such a toss, the mud on his clothes was washed away. He pulled off his soaked clothes and grinned sheepishly: "I thought you fell into the water just now. Just jumped into the Lingquan Pool, Li'er is fine."
"Silly Ah Chen, you are so desperate before you have recovered from your serious injury..." Yan Yueli said reproachful words, but she was so moved in her heart. Apart from her father Yan Wugui, Ji Beichen was the only one in the world who would do anything for her. She was so desperate.
"Come here!" Yan Yueli called Ji Beichen over. She held onto the corner of Ji Beichen's clothes and silently recited "Fengqi Yuandian", circulating the energy throughout her body and drying his clothes and pants.
"Thank you Li'er." Ji Beichen twitched the corner of his mouth and thanked her repeatedly. He would not dare to soil his clothes easily next time. Yan Yueli's actions made him dumbfounded. If Sect Master Yan knew that his unique skills were used by his precious daughter to dry his clothes, he would definitely be furious.
Yan Yueli naturally saw Ji Beichen's discomfort, and could guess a lot about what he was thinking, but Yan Yueli didn't take it seriously. She had always lived a casual life and didn't care what they said. The most important thing now was to save Xing Ling. Fox, they might as well go back and join Shen Qingxi and the others, and continue to look for the spirit spider's whereabouts.
Yan Yueli raised her hand to detect the spirit fox's snort, and found that the weak snort was much gentler than before. However, it was still a little anxious because it was not awake: "Ah Chen, I just fed it the body pills, but it still has no energy. I haven’t woken up yet, what do you think I should do?”
"The second-grade elixir has no effect. It seems that the injury is unclear." Ji Beichen also ran out of ideas for a moment. This body recovery pill is a kind of healing medicine that can be taken orally. It has a certain therapeutic effect on internal injuries and can also treat external injuries. It also has a very good healing effect, so it should not be useless.
"It would be nice if Qingxi was here, blame me for being too willful..." Yan Yueli saw that Ji Beichen had no choice but to think of Shen Qingxi. If she gave a few injections, she would be able to wake up the spirit fox.
Ji Beichen couldn't bear to see Yan Yueli sad, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, Li, I'm going to get some spiritual spring water. Maybe it's just thirsty. Let's see if I can revive it."
Seeing that there was no other way, Yan Yueli had no choice but to give it a try. Maybe the spiritual spring water would have a miraculous effect on it. Ji Beichen rushed back to where he was just now and retrieved their water bags. Yan Yueli opened the spirit fox's mouth slightly, and Ji Beichen dripped the spirit spring water into the spirit fox's mouth.
One drop or two, the two of them were very patient, and the spirit fox was nourished by the spring water, and it really woke up slowly. Its eyes were slightly opened, and their eyes were shining. They were really beautiful. Ji Beichen couldn't help but secretly praise him. This fox was truly worthy of being a charming being.
Yan Yueli was filled with joy, and a smile appeared on her face again. She felt affection for this spirit fox. Seeing that it really woke up, she couldn't help but reach out and touch its red fur. The spirit fox seemed to be quite disgusted with strangers. When he saw the two cultivators in front of him, he bared his sharp teeth with vigilance and struggled desperately to get out of Yan Yueli's arms.
"You little thing, we are so kind to save you, but you are not happy anymore, hum!" Yan Yueli was both angry and distressed by Linghu's actions. Every year, a large number of monks come to the Trial Valley to practice in the valley, including many high-level monks. Coming here to hunt spiritual grass and spiritual beasts in order to improve his own cultivation, this spirit fox must have encountered many dangers.
Ji Beichen stretched out his arm to wrap around Yan Yueli's waist, gently scratched the tip of her nose with his other hand, and persuaded with a smile: "Don't be angry, Li'er. Now that it's awake, let's leave, lest Brother Wang and the others Can’t wait to wait.”
Yan Yueli nodded slightly hesitantly, and the two of them were about to turn around and leave when they heard a howl of "wuwu". The limbs of the three-tailed spirit fox went limp. Although it fell to the ground helplessly, there was still a look of vigilance in its eyes.
Yan Yueli frowned again and begged unbearably: "Ah Chen, let's take it with us. If it is attacked by those spiritual birds just now, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Ji Beichen smiled happily and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just take it with you. Li'er is really kind-hearted."
Yan Yueli blushed in embarrassment and strode towards the dense forest. As she walked, she defended herself: "Achen, don't make fun of people, I'm just following along!"
Seeing Yan Yueli's shyness, Ji Beichen stopped talking and stepped forward to briefly talk to the three-tailed fox, telling it that they would not harm it and that they would release it to a safe place.
Because Ji Beichen had the blood of the God of War, the spirit fox slightly dropped its hostility towards him and obediently allowed Ji Beichen to put it into the storage ring. After doing all this, Ji Beichen set off again, striding to catch up with Yan Yueli who had already walked away.
It was said that it was a good opportunity to save the three-tailed spirit fox. Ji Beichen was nourished by the spiritual spring and felt much lighter. The previous fatigue was wiped away and he was a hundred times more energetic.
Ji Beichen really didn't expect that the spiritual spring here would have such miraculous effects. No wonder the spiritual bird would go to war with a spiritual fox over the spiritual spring. He secretly decided to let Yan Yueli experience it next time.
Yan Yueli, who was walking in front, slowly stopped. She couldn't help but regret that she had walked in a hurry. There were many crises in the Trial Valley, and Ji Beichen had not followed for a long time, which inevitably made his already uneasy heart feel a little more anxious.
But Yan Yueli was born with a stubborn temperament, so she didn't want to go back to look for him, so she had to jump to the top of the highest tree and look around. She was relieved when she saw that Ji Beichen had already rushed over.
Yan Yueli jumped down from the tree and greeted him happily. When she saw that he was alone, she quickly asked: "Achen, where is the spirit fox?"
"Don't worry Li'er, it's here." Ji Beichen shook the storage ring on his hand to reassure Yan Yueli.
The two stepped back and walked back. As soon as they reached the dense forest where they were separated from Wang Yuanting and the others, a powerful wave of spiritual power made Yan Yueli instantly alert.
Yan Yueli immediately judged that several monks with high levels of cultivation were fighting nearby.
"Could he be a monk from the Huan Mie Sect?" Ji Beichen guessed that the only people who could chase him here were the lingering "ghosts" of the Huan Mie Sect.
"Ah Chen, hide and wait for me. I'll come back as soon as I go." Yan Yueli carefully hid her figure, held the Cangxu Sword tightly and went to take a look first, while Ji Beichen stayed where he was.
Ji Beichen first found a secret place to hide himself, and then released the spirit fox from the storage ring. Seeing that it had almost recovered, he waved to it as a farewell.
The three-tailed spirit fox straightened its body and bowed its head slightly to Ji Beichen, as if it was saluting him to express its gratitude.
"Go." Ji Beichen also waved to it and watched the spirit fox disappear into the dense forest and disappear.
There are three reasons why Ji Beichen released Linghu now.
First, the Millennium Fire Spider they are looking for is extremely dangerous, and it will be even more dangerous for the spirit fox to follow him.
Secondly, this three-tailed spirit fox is very wary. If you keep it with you, it will become more distrustful of them as time goes by.
Thirdly, Yan Yueli was overly sensitive to separation. He was afraid that Yan Yueli would be sad and reluctant to let go over time. If she cried, it would be difficult to comfort her.
In fact, the last reason was that Ji Beichen was overly worried. Although Yan Yueli was vigorous and resolute in doing things, she was still an eighteen-year-old girl after all, and she could not always focus on one thing!
"Achen, come on! There's something fun going on!" Yan Yueli excitedly waved her hand not far away, urging him to hurry over.
Ji Beichen smiled fondly and shook his head, then ran over. When he arrived in front of Yan Yueli and was about to ask what was going on, he was attracted by a piercing scream.
What he saw in front of him made Ji Beichen laugh. It turned out to be a monk surrounded by a group of monkeys. This scene was really rare.
I saw that those monkeys had lived in the Trial Valley for nearly a hundred years and had eaten countless spiritual grasses and spiritual fruits. They had some spiritual power, flexible movements and agility, and they were even fighting with the monk.
"But after taking a few of your fruits, and then using your hands so unwillingly, the monkeys in the Trial Valley are really stingy!" The monk started making a loud noise. Although he was somewhat powerless, he still protected the spiritual fruits in his arms. The hand is still not given away for a moment.
When the monk saw two people walking towards him slowly, he hurriedly called out enthusiastically: "Fellow Taoist! Help me!"
Yan Yueli, who was walking in front, snorted coldly and stopped in place, with no intention of taking action. Ji Beichen was quite helpless. He looked around and saw no one around. He was sure that this person had no companions. He was really alone and helpless at the moment...
