Linghu Island is located in the waters north of Yueshuo Continent.
This is where the Linghu clan gathers. There are nine fox kings on the island, commanding thousands of spirit fox soldiers who have transformed into humans, and thousands of spirit foxes who have not transformed.
The reason why the spirit fox clan is a spirit beast rather than a monster beast is because they have already opened up their spiritual intelligence as soon as they are born. Can understand human language. At the same time, they already know how to practice from the moment they are born. This is an innate skill, just like humans are born with the ability to eat, drink, and defecate.
Spirit foxes that have transformed into humans usually imitate human behavior and give themselves names. However, they are not human beings after all, and their knowledge of human culture is extremely limited. Therefore, most of the names they have been given are not elegant.
Because "Fox" and "Hu" have the same pronunciation, the spirit foxes who have transformed on the island all like to use "Hu" as their surname. This has resulted in an extremely large number of spirit foxes named "Hu" on the island. But this does not mean that they must be related by blood.
If it were humans, it would be difficult to identify kinship relationships among so many ethnic groups with the same surname. But for the Linghu clan, it seems very easy.
The spirit fox clan is born with a keen sense of smell. They only need to smell each other's scent to know whether the other person is closely related to them.
The Spirit Fox clan is proud to have human names. The nine fox kings on the island are naturally no exception. They all have their own names.
The name of the Great Fox King is Hu Zun, and his wife's name is Hu Mei. They are Ah Li's parents, and they are already at the eleventh level. He is the oldest fox with the highest cultivation level on Linghu Island.
The name of the two fox kings is Hu Zhou, and his wife's name is Hu Yan. They have a son named Hu Qiang, who was the one who went to the beach to scold Xiao Ding before. The Second Fox King and his wife are both at the tenth level of cultivation and are also one of the masters of the island.
The remaining seven fox kings are: Three Fox King Hu Che, Four Fox King Hu Shuo, Five Fox King Hu Lai, Six Fox King Hu Gao, Seven Fox King Hu Luan, Eight Fox King Hu Lu, and Nine Fox King Hu Chou.
As well as Hu Luo, the wife of the Three Fox King, Hu Tao, the wife of the Four Fox King, Hu Ju, the wife of the Six Fox King, Hu Lan, the wife of the Eight Fox King, and Hu Si, the wife of the Nine Fox King.
These old foxes are all at the tenth level of cultivation and can be regarded as the backbone of Linghu Island. Over the years, they have repeatedly resisted the invasion of the Yueshuo Continent Monster Beast Alliance, mainly relying on old foxes like them. After all, the cultivation level of the younger generation is still too low. Even if they practice for thousands of years and become human beings, their cultivation level will not improve much.
Every time there is a war against the monster alliance, many people will die on Linghu Island. War is inherently cruel, let alone a war between cultivators. Among them, the wife of the Five Fox King and the wife of the Seven Fox King both lost their lives in the previous war.
On the island now, including the Great Fox King and his wife, there are two eleventh-level spirit foxes and fifteen tenth-level spirit foxes. Among them, eight of the fifteen tenth-level spirit foxes have already reached the tenth-level Dzogchen realm. If the time, place and people are favorable, they will have a chance to break through to the eleventh level.
In Xiao Ding's opinion, there are so many high-level spirit foxes on Spirit Fox Island, which is definitely not a small force. Even when Xiao Ding first came to Tiankun Planet, no one in the Tianyang Sect that he joined had a cultivation level that could match the cultivation level of these fox kings on Linghu Island.
If Linghu Island is regarded as a cultivation sect on Huaxuan Continent, Xiao Ding estimates that with the strength of Linghu Island, it should be at least a three-star or two-star sect.
Of course, Xiao Ding’s understanding of Linghu Island comes from Ah Li’s narration.
After Ah Li introduced Xiao Ding to the Great Fox King Hu Zun and his wife, because Xiao Ding was a human being, he was a guest on Linghu Island. Hu Zun arranged for Xiao Ding to sit on the guest seat and rest.
As for Ah Li, she was supposed to stand behind Hu Zun and his wife, but when she saw Xiao Ding sitting alone in the guest seat, she was worried that Xiao Ding was bored, so she also found a chair and sat next to Xiao Ding. , and at the same time, he was also introducing some situations on the island to Xiao Ding in a low voice.
This large gathering in the cave on Linghu Island naturally meant that everyone gathered together to discuss how to send people to rescue the fishing team.
According to the feedback from the fishing team, the other party
Among the monsters that besieged them, there were many middle and high-level monsters.
On Linghu Island, although there are many soul foxes, they are highly polarized. Except for the dozen or so high-level old foxes, the other young spirit foxes all appear to be at the fourth or fifth level. Spirit foxes with cultivation levels of six, seven, eight or nine are very rare.
Therefore, every time Linghu Island is attacked by the Yueshuo Continent Monster Beast Alliance, if among the monsters dispatched by the opponent, there are monster beasts with six, seven, eighty or nine levels of cultivation, then Linghu Island will have to Only by dispatching the Fox King to deal with it will we have a chance of winning.
However, the nine fox kings on Linghu Island dare not leave the island easily. Because they still need to stay on the island to take charge, what if the enemy uses the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain? If the enemy creates trouble outside the island with the purpose of transferring the nine fox kings, and then they come to sneak attack on Linghu Island, wouldn't that be equivalent to handing over their nest?
However, the team that went out to fish were all spirit foxes that had already transformed. It was not easy for everyone to practice. There was already a lack of masters of middle and high-level cultivation on the island. The cultivation of low-level spirit foxes was equally important. You definitely can’t just give up.
Therefore, after everyone discussed it, it was finally decided that the second fox king Hu Zhou and his wife Hu Yan would lead their son Hu Qiang and lead a thousand spirit fox soldiers to go to sea to rescue the fishing team.
Ah Li heard that the Second Fox King and his wife were sent to lead a team to rescue the fishing team. She eagerly stood up and asked the Big Fox King, saying that she would also go with the team.
Although the Big Fox King and his wife felt sorry for their daughter, they also felt that this was a good opportunity for experience. Only by charging at the forefront can we gain real practical experience.
So, after Ah Li requested for a while, Hu Zun and his wife thought about it briefly and then readily agreed.
When Xiao Ding saw Ah Li requesting to fight, he originally had no intention of intervening in the affairs of Linghu Island. But on Spirit Fox Island, he only knew Ah Li, and he was not familiar with the other spirit foxes. If Ahri left, he would always feel uncomfortable staying alone in the fox den.
After just a brief thought, Xiao Ding stood up and asked the Great Fox King Hu Zun for orders, planning to follow the team to rescue the fishing team.
At first, Hu Zun didn't agree. After all, Xiao Ding was a guest. How could he let someone join the fight as soon as he arrived? But Xiao Ding kept insisting, and Ah Li was also helping Xiao Ding speak, so Hu Zun nodded in agreement and repeatedly told Ah Li to take good care of Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding couldn't help but twitch in his heart. Who made his cultivation level low? Maybe in Hu Zun's eyes, if he went to participate in the rescue this time, he would be a burden to his team.
In fact, it was true. Hu Zun not only told Ah Li to take good care of Xiao Ding, but he also told the Second Fox King Hu Che and his wife to try their best to protect the guests and prevent them from being harmed.
Seeing the worried expression on Hu Zun's face, Xiao Ding shed tears silently in his heart. Thinking that I still have to try to find a way to build the foundation as soon as possible. Only if you improve your cultivation level, you will not always be looked down upon by others.
Xiao Ding had a headache when he thought about foundation building. Although he had worked very hard to build the foundation, the actual situation was always somewhat different from what he imagined. He still can't figure out what went wrong with him. Why do other ordinary monks have a high probability of successfully building a foundation as long as they have one foundation-building pill, but I have taken almost hundreds of foundation-building pills, but it still only extends within the period of Qi training, always Unable to enter the foundation building period.
Xiao Ding, who was worried, sighed helplessly and silently followed Ah Li, along with the team of the two fox kings, down the mountain towards the shore.
On the other side of Linghu Island, there is a small pier with hundreds of ships docked.
Xiao Ding was also very surprised when he saw the ship. Could it be that foxes also know how to build ships?
Ahri saw Xiao Ding's confusion, and she explained to Xiao Ding: "Brother Tian, do you know why we are very friendly to our human friends?"
Xiao Ding guessed: "Is it because you joined forces to fight against foreign enemies?"
Ahri shook his head and said, "Not entirely, that's just one of the reasons."
"Are there other reasons?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Yes." Ah Li nodded and replied, "Brother Tian, you don't know something.
, In fact, many of our daily necessities on Linghu Island are obtained from your human cultivation sect. Some of them were purchased by us, some were given to us by our human friends, and some were made by ourselves with manufacturing techniques taught to us by our human friends. "
"Like these ships?" Xiao Ding asked, pointing to the ships docked in the pier.
Ahri replied: "Yes, those ships were built with the technology taught to us by our human friends and then built by our own people. Another example is the clothes I am wearing. Brother Tian, have you noticed that we on Linghu Island The clothes worn by the soldiers on the battlefield are basically made of animal skins or fish skins, but the clothes worn by my father, the nine great fox kings and their families are made of the fabrics used by you humans."
After Ahri's reminder, Xiaoding suddenly remembered that when they were in the cave, the clothes worn by the nine fox kings and their families were indeed made of the same cloth as Ahri's clothes. But the other soldiers were wearing leather clothes. At that time, Xiao Ding thought that the soldiers wearing such clothes were equivalent to the leather armor of human soldiers.
So, Xiao Ding asked: "Aren't the clothes those soldiers are wearing leather armor?"
Ah Li said with a smile: "Brother Tian, you are wrong. The reason why they wear leather clothes is not to use leather clothes as protective gear. Have you ever seen anyone who can use leather clothes to withstand the attacks of cultivators? They wear leather clothes. It's just a last resort. Because the human clothes we wear are all purchased from the human cultivation sects on Yueshuo Continent. On Yueshuo Continent, the raw materials for making clothes are very scarce, so the prices of the clothes are also very expensive. , we on Linghu Island have no way to buy human clothes for everyone on the island, so those soldiers can only use animal skins or fish skins to make clothes. Of course, these clothes-making techniques were taught to us by your human monks of."
"That's it!" Xiao Ding was relieved, and naturally he understood why the foxes on Linghu Island were so friendly to humans.
While chatting with Ah Li, he followed the thousand spirit fox soldiers onto the ship, and then everyone headed towards the scene of the incident.
In fact, the lowest level of cultivation of these spirit fox soldiers is equivalent to the level of human monks in the early stages of foundation building. They can all fly in the air and control the wind.
The reason why they go to sea by boat is because they are not good at fighting in the air. With a boat, they can fight monsters in the sea and have a place to stay.
