"There are changes in Qishan, so I came here to report it."
Today, hundreds of years later, another young red fox named Hongyun, like his ancestors, came over the mountains and ridges, saying the same words.
This made Zhu An feel in a daze that time had changed everything, but it seemed that nothing had changed.
"A big demon has risen in the mountains recently..." Hongyun began to describe the information in a precise manner.
Ordinary monsters, or small monsters, after years of practice, can break out of their cocoons and become butterflies, sublimate their lives, have a lifespan of more than a hundred years and have considerable combat power, and are called "big monsters".
Ordinary great demons, high-level great demons, and even further, they are the powerful demon kings.
Zhu An knew something about the Qishan area. There was not enough spiritual energy there to give birth to a demon king. Occasionally, great demons would be born.
The great demon that rose this time was a little different.
"It has a body like a bear, with a white head and back, black ears and black claws. It is extremely powerful and likes to eat bamboo branches. It comes from the southwest and claims to be an iron-eating descendant..." Hongyun had never heard of this kind of monster before, and said in a tone of voice He seemed a little confused.
Zhu Anze knew very well what they were. Regardless of past or present life, they were a very rare race.
The iron-eating beast that likes to eat bamboo seems to be his natural enemy, but Zhu An is not nervous. Instead, he shakes the branches and leaves, feeling a little happy, thinking to himself:
"I thought this group was extinct, but I didn't expect it would reappear three thousand years later."
Back then, he had dealt with an extremely powerful iron-eating beast. After the fight, the two sides turned enemies into friends, and they became very close to each other.
Unfortunately, as soon as they became friends, the iron-eating beast was killed by a terrifying being, and the iron-eating clan was also massacred and almost extinct.
In a blink of an eye, it is already three thousand years later.
Back then, Zhu An was not strong enough and could only watch his friend go away.
Now, although it's not time to settle old scores yet, it is a piece of cake for Zhu An to save a descendant of the iron-eating tribe.
Hongyun here is complaining, "That big demon is cruel, greedy, and ambitious. As soon as he rises, he torments the Qishan demon clan. He claims to dominate a thousand miles around. We are being called here and there, and we are miserable."
"Especially recently, that big demon——"
Hongyun paused for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this, Zhu An comforted it: "You did a good job. If anything happens, just tell me, don't think too much."
The calm tone made Hongyun relax a little, and it gritted its teeth and revealed the truth:
"The big demon heard about your existence somewhere, and was very interested. He said that he would lead the Qishan group of demons to march north, capture Beishan, and then, then eat you..."
The young red fox trembled and quickly explained:
"I, the Red Fox Clan, are absolutely tight-lipped and have never leaked your information!"
Having said that, he felt uneasy, fearing that the bamboo from Beishan would be angry with him.
When the realm is about the same, it is clear at a glance which one is stronger and which is weaker between an iron-eating beast and a bamboo. Moreover, bamboo cannot move easily and cannot be beaten or run away. The situation is really not good.
Hongyun looked at the faint bamboo shadow deep in the forest, guessing how the other party would react.
fear? panic? Should he run away quickly, or stay and fight to the death?
What it didn't know was that the bamboo shadow in front of it was not actually Zhu An's true form, but just an ordinary bamboo.
The sound of the words just now was just the sound produced by countless leaves and weeds rubbing against each other when the mountain wind blew through the woods.
Use the wind as your breath and the forest as your throat.
At this moment, while Hong Yun was waiting anxiously, the mountain wind slowly poured into the woods and turned into a long sigh:
"How naughty."
naughty?
Hongyun couldn't help but widen her eyes. This evaluation is not at all consistent with the cruel image of the big demon.
It wanted to remind Beishan Zhizhu not to be too big, but before the words could be spoken, Zhu An said:
"Let's go to Qishan and have a look."
A descendant of a suspected old friend appeared, and he planned to take a look with his own eyes to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Hongyun was dumbfounded after hearing this, and asked weakly: "Now?"
"Right now." Zhu An's tone was very clear, and he also said something that it didn't understand, "It's too late, maybe something will happen."
The iron-eating clan has been forgotten by the world, but the murderers who exterminated the clan are still there.
Hongyun looked sad. It had finally managed to sneak out of Qishan, and now it was going back?
If he is caught by that big monster, he will be in trouble.
Zhu An saw its timidity and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I'll go with you."
go together? Hongyun shook his head, wondering how a piece of bamboo could run hundreds of miles along a mountain road.
Suddenly the fragrance hit my nostrils, and a green bamboo leaf suddenly appeared in the air.
The bamboo leaves swirled and slowly fell, sticking to Hongyun's eyebrows, and then turned into nothingness.
"Okay." This bamboo leaf contains Zhu An's spiritual thought, just like an eye. The leaf itself is also quite extraordinary. It can release several magical powers, which is enough for a trip to Qishan.
Hongyun rubbed his head with his paws, but couldn't find the leaves. He twitched his nose again, and the fragrance just now no longer existed. Everything seemed to be an illusion.
"This...could it be an illusion?" It speculated that the cultivation method of Cao Shu Jing Mei might be different from that of monster beasts who specialize in physical cultivation.
Zhu An did not explain, letting Red Fox guess, "I have practiced so far, how can I not have some means? Don't worry, just go ahead."
Hongyun calmed down. Since this person is good at illusions, self-protection should not be a big problem.
In addition, the ancestral wooden beads tied to its front legs also have a certain degree of defense. It is said that this string of wooden beads was given to the ancestors by Beishan Bamboo. Thinking of this, Hongyun felt relieved.
"By the way, this is your reward." Zhu An said, and a jade crystal fruit flew out from the forest.
This fruit was cultivated by him personally and has grown for nearly a hundred years. The fruit pulp is full and the aura is fragrant. One fruit can be worth several years of cultivation for an ordinary little demon.
Hongyun smiled broadly, picked up the jade crystal fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
After receiving a favor, it had to work seriously. It didn't even take a rest, turned around and ran towards the south.
Between its eyebrows, a piece of green leaf is glowing faintly, seeming both virtual and real...
Qishan is very far away. It is said to be eight hundred miles away, but the actual mountain road is more than a thousand miles away.
On this trip, Hongyun ran for five days and five nights. Along the way, she had to cover her tracks and avoid natural enemies. She was very tired.
This return trip was particularly easy. It felt as if its body was as light as flying catkins. It could jump seven or eight feet away with just a kick of its legs, and it could run hundreds of miles like a leisurely stroll.
Moreover, the jackals, tigers and leopards encountered on the way turned a blind eye to it, and they all seemed to be blind.
Hongyun was very surprised. It seemed that Beishanzhizhi did have some tricks. No wonder it could live for hundreds of years.
But it didn't take it lightly, and was still planning in its mind. It would sneak into Qishan later and just take a look at the iron-eating beast from a distance. Don't get too close. This illusion can deceive small demons, but it may not work on big demons.
Once I see that ferocious monster with my own eyes, I believe that as long as Beishan Zhizhu is not stupid, he will know how to stay away. When the time comes and it leaves quietly, the mission will be considered complete.
"No matter how clever the illusion is, it is still virtual after all. In a real fight, a strong body is more reliable." Hongyun shook his head secretly, wondering whether the bamboo that became a spirit could run away or whether it could run fast.
If it really doesn't work, it can go back to Beishan and run away with the bamboos from Beishan on its back. A single bamboo shouldn't weigh much...
After running all night, the red fox arrived at the foot of Qishan the next morning.
The morning sun is clearing, and the morning dew is spreading all over the mountain.
All the demon clans in the mountain were gathered in a deep valley at this moment. Many of their enemies met and glared at each other. The scene was crowded and chaotic.
But after all, there was no chaos. Even the violent monsters were trying their best to restrain themselves.
Because at this moment, the "ferocious and mighty" monster that Hong Yun said - a skinny, small, seemingly underage giant panda, was standing alone at a high place in front of him.
The panda stood with its legs spread wide, its paws on its hips, and its round white belly, looking proudly at the group of monsters.
It grinned with a smug smile and said to itself:
"Mother, did you see that I have a future now?"
