The Bizarre Fat Fox

First, he gave himself an injection in the back of the neck. Then he called Xiao Wu over and implanted one in her too.

"Ow!"

Xiao Wu cried out in pain, clutching the back of her neck, her face full of grievance.

"Brother, why did you stab me? I didn't even do anything to you..."

Ye Yun rubbed her head and explained.

"This is called a Synesthesia Beacon. It lets us understand Soul Beasts when they speak, as long as they possess intelligence."

"Wow, that's amazing! Brother Yun, I want one too!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone. She nudged Xiao Wu aside, then very naturally leaned in front of Ye Yun and brushed her hair away.

Ye Yun picked up the syringe, pressed it against the back of her neck, and pushed the button.

"Click—"

"Hiss! It hurts so much! Blow on it~"

Tears welled in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She crouched down on the ground at once, pouting as she looked at Ye Yun pitifully.

"Whoo—whoo—"

Ye Yun blew on it soothingly, then coaxed her with a few more words before she finally calmed down.

Watching from the side, Xiao Wu's whole face scrunched up. Ew~ It hurts~ Blow on it~~ She really is delicate enough. Unlike me, I'm so strong. Brother must like my type more.

After that, Ye Yun implanted Synesthesia Beacons in Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin respectively.

Ning Fengzhi touched his neck curiously. He did not feel any discomfort, only the initial sting.

"In that case, let Uncle Jian take you there. I'll stay behind with Uncle Gu to look after the sect."

"Yay! We get to go out and play again!"

Ning Rongrong happily hugged Ye Yun and bounced up and down. Xiao Wu's eyes also lit up. She could finally go home openly!

Chen Xin shook his head with a laugh. The Star Dou Forest was so dangerous, yet only these two could be this happy. Then he rode his sword, taking Ye Yun, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong toward the Star Dou Forest.

At the same time.

In the Star Dou Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.

A silver giant dragon suddenly opened its eyes. Its slightly raised head looked into the distance, its gaze filled with gravity.

"Di Tian."

"Your subordinate is here."

A pitch-black figure instantly appeared beside the giant dragon, his attitude incomparably respectful.

"A violent aura has appeared in the Star Dou Forest. Its purity is even more terrifying than Destruction and Asura's combined. It is inconvenient for me to show myself, so go see what is happening."

"Yes."

Di Tian did not dare hesitate and hurriedly flew toward the outside world.

When he passed through the barrier and leapt out of the Lake of Life...

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both startled.

"Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape instinctively roared, only to be instantly knocked to the ground by a sweep of the Azure Bull Python's tail.

"My lord, there's something wrong with his brain. Please don't take it to heart."

It lowered its head, not daring to look directly at the dragon before it.

Di Tian glanced at the two beasts, gave a cold snort, then flew toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

"Whoo—scared me to death. Erming, are you stupid? One look at him and you can tell he's not someone to mess with, yet you still dared roar at him."

Seeing that the other party did not lower himself to their level, the Azure Bull Python finally relaxed. Then it swept its tail onto the Titan Giant Ape's forehead again.

The latter scratched his head pitifully.

"Daming, who told him to suddenly jump out... I couldn't hold it in..."

"Sigh... You'll get us killed sooner or later..."

After grumbling, the Azure Bull Python slowly sank into the Lake of Life.

On the other side.

Ye Yun's group arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, then headed all the way toward the depths of the forest.

Xiao Wu knew the way like the back of her hand. It was as if she had returned to her own home, skipping along at the very front without the slightest hint of nervousness.

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, looked at the dim, deep woods around them and was terribly frightened. She clutched Ye Yun's hand tightly, trembling as she followed behind him.

Every now and then, some little crawling bug would climb onto her, frightening her into screaming and jumping onto Ye Yun.

"Yun-ge... how much longer do we have to go? I'm a little scared. I want to go home..."

Ye Yun lowered his head and looked at her faintly trembling legs, feeling helpless.

Earlier, she had been clamoring to come to the Star Dou Forest, full of excitement. In the end, she had lost her nerve the moment they came in.

In the end, she was still a child who had never experienced danger.

Just then, Chen Xin walked back out of the bushes ahead, carrying a fat fox with a big head and large ears in his hand.

"Xiao Yun, this Phantom Fox is around four or five thousand years old. It should have spiritual intelligence."

As he spoke, he tossed the fox in front of Ye Yun, while using soul power to pin it firmly in place.

Ning Rongrong curiously patted the fox's belly, and waves of flesh immediately rippled up in layers.

"Ew~ what a fat fox. It's just like a pig."

When it heard this, the fox, which had still been trembling, seemed to have found a savior and began opening its mouth to whimper.

[Buddy, you're a Soul Beast in human form? You're amazing! I didn't even sense your aura! Since we're both Soul Beasts, can you get the person behind you to let me go? I promise, as long as I make it back alive, I'll give you the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit I've treasured for four hundred years to eat.]

Xiao Wu exploded the moment she heard that and slapped the fox across the head.

"Rabbits are so cute! Why would you eat rabbits!"

Although in the Star Dou Forest, the law of the jungle was ironclad, Xiao Wu was still unhappy. After all, that was one of her own kind.

It had just been eaten by this fat fox! And even stored away like cured meat!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Xiao Wu stepped onto its paw and kept grinding down.

[Ohoho!!! I was wrong! I was wrong! My paw hurts!!]

Despair shrouded the fat fox's heart. It was over... the one opposite him was also a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit in human form... The heavens wanted him dead!

After that, it seemed to accept its fate, sprawled on the ground and gave up, as if dying sooner meant reincarnating sooner.

Ye Yun looked at the fox collapsed on the ground like a gas canister and found it a little funny.

That expression was just like that Tibetan fox online, dispirited as though life had beaten it down countless times.

"Hey, big fox, we won't kill you. We only need you to lead the way and help us."

Hearing this, a humanlike flicker of information flashed through the fat fox's eyes.

[Really? Foster father!]

Ye Yun's face darkened. "Don't call me foster father! I don't have a foster son like you!"

The fat fox stuck out its tongue and grinned.

[Big brother, just say the word! Who are we looking for?! I'll definitely get it done!]

"I want you to help find scourges like the Human-Faced Demon Spider."

[No problem! Uh... big brother, can you get that person behind you to stop pressing down on me? My stomach feels a little uncomfortable...]

As the fat fox was speaking, a cloud of yellow gas suddenly sprayed out from behind its tail.

Chen Xin's expression changed, and he hurriedly weakened the pressure of his soul power.

[Phew—comfortable~ Big brother, wait a moment. I'll call my beasts to search together now.]

The fat fox shook itself, stretched its neck, and howled toward the sky.

"Awooo wawoo wawoo wawoo—"

[Brothers! Hurry up and come help me!! A big brother in human form is here to kill Human-Faced Demon Spiders!!!]

"Ying ying ying ying—"

"Ying ying ying—"

The sounds of foxes yipping rose and fell all around the Star Dou Forest.

Ning Rongrong blinked curiously and tugged at the fat fox's tail.

"Fat fox, why is your call different from the other foxes'?"

[I don't know. Maybe because my father was a Moon-Gazing Wolf. On that dark and windy night...]
