Follow Taotie to eat meat [Traveling]

Xiao Yan was a little unresponsive at first.Under normal circumstances, "I didn't see the exit" or "I didn't find the exit" is a normal expression, right?But Taotie used "I didn't hear the exit".

But the little tiger looked serious, not like joking.

The stupid fox looked out of sorts again.

Taotie turned his head contemptuously, and spewed out a mouthful of fire. The black thing on the beach just now ignited in an instant: "It's groundless, do you understand? I don't think you understand. It's something human beings fiddled with, anyway. Let’s put it this way, as long as there is an exit from this cave, there must be wind, but I didn’t hear it.”

"..." It is quite strange to hear groundless rumors from the mouth of a tiger.

The puddle had a pungent smell of burning.Xiao Yan ran a little farther, and covered his nose with two paws: "Why burn this? It smells... Is your judgment reliable? Look, there is no exit from the hole here? Can you hear that? Far away?"

Can fly and run, can dive into water and breathe fire, and also has ears with the wind?Can Taotie cheat like this?

What if I missed it?What if the airflow happens to be stable and there is no wind noise when listening to it?

As a war scumbag, Xiao Yan felt that it would be hard to give up if he didn't go through it himself.

The little tiger immediately opened his eyes ferociously: "Do you think I got it wrong?"

"..."

Felines are all arrogant and sensitive, you have to stroke their fur, not twist with them.Xiao Yan quickly comforted him: "Where is it... I just want to express my shock."

There is no sincerity at first glance.

Tao Tie snorted dissatisfiedly: "If you have nothing to do, you can go for a trip by yourself, if you can, I will... I will..."

There is no such eloquent saying in Monster Beasts as "If something happened/didn't happen, I will take your last name!", the little tiger choked for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable expression, and raised his head angrily: "Anyway, you never Might find it!"

Finally, I thought of the cruel words: "If I find it, I will not eat meat for a year!"

"..." Okay, so convincing.

Thinking of the ancestor's various dislikes for wild fruits, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and his sense of crisis gradually increased.

It seems that things are really big.

"Then what can I do? Is it possible to walk in the water?" There are still many places that are flooded. There should be a way out of the underground river, right?

"Well, I can go out, but the distance to be completely submerged under the water is several times longer than when we came here. I rolled my eyes when I saw you coming. Can I get out alive?" Taotie wagged his tail boredly.

Xiao Yan: "..." So, he is the only one who might be trapped here to death.

"You said that the crack on the top of the head, can I get out?" A line of sky and so on, there are always wide and narrow, and I am not big, maybe I can?If you are far away, things will look smaller, and the gap may be able to hold a cow.

Taotie glanced up, and when he looked at Xiao Yan again, he was full of disbelief about his "self-knowledge": "If your stomach can be reduced by half, maybe you can consider it. Of course, even if it is reduced, it is more likely to climb to half. Up and down, stuck in the middle of the gap until dead."

"..."

The little tiger gave a rare and kind suggestion: "It's better not to try unless it's a last resort. The rock formation on it is very hard, even I can't break it, and the nine-tailed fox is not so easy to die. If it gets stuck in it, The wind and the sun and the rain for several years are still alive, and there is nothing to eat... Tsk!"

There are at most a few mosquitoes buzzing and flying in the crevices of the stone.Days without meat... unimaginable.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Ma Dan, can you still play happily?If this happens again, I'm going to make a fuss! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

The little fox was completely wilted, and lay down on the ground in despair, not wanting to talk to the tiger who was pouring salt on the wound.

The fire gradually died down, revealing some black residue on the ground.Taotie poked it out with his claws, and pulled out a bunch of beads that were bigger than soybeans.Off-white and dull.

Xiao Yan opened one of his squinted eyes: "This is... the demon pill?"

Taotie was a little surprised: "Why didn't you worry about getting out?"

Worry, but can you figure out a way by lying on your stomach half-dead?Xiao Yan rolled his big eyes.

In fact, he wasn't really too worried, probably because he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, but now that he wasn't forced to that level, he always felt that the road was made by people.When he heard that there was a passage under the water, Xiao Yan based on the few novels he had read, and came up with various oxygen supply methods in his brain, such as making a bunch of fish bubbles or something...

Before experiencing countless failures and trials, his mentality was relatively optimistic.In other words, it is more ambitious.

Taotie understood the silly and optimistic look on the little fox's face, this time he didn't attack him again, he lowered his head and picked up a bead, and when he pinched it, the off-white soybeans split open.

Xiao Yan stretched his neck, and saw a round and clear bead inside after seeing the dusty powder falling from the outside.

A gust of fresh air spread out with the bead as the center in an instant.

Xiao Yan's mind, which was still a little drowsy, suddenly became aroused, and Xiao Yan came to his senses, and even his fatigue seemed to be relieved a little.

This is only the effect of one piece. If all the underground piles are squeezed open, one can imagine how comfortable it will be.

As the clear air became thicker, the beads on the tip of the little tiger's claws visibly became dimmer to the naked eye, and strands of white flocs formed little by little from the inside of the clear beads.

Taotie wanted to suck all the aura out of it, but when he glanced at the little white fox whose ears were drooping, he suddenly changed his mind.He pinched a few more, and together with the first one, they stuck to Xiao Yan's forehead.

At the moment of contact, a refreshing and cool breath quickly spread along the forehead to the limbs, and the twitching temples immediately settled down. It was obviously a cool feeling, but the whole body seemed to be soaked in the sun, warming the body. Cheerful.Xiao Yan was so comfortable that he wished he could fall asleep immediately, and felt extremely energetic and refreshed.

The little fox is so beautiful that he doesn't know what day or night it is. He wished he could just roll around on the ground. It seemed like a long time passed, and then it seemed like a moment later, when he started to move around behind him. Finally, the third tail was pulled out completely with a swish, and he was very happy. It stood upright in the air and trembled.

With the completion of this action, the fresh air on the forehead seemed to be completely exhausted, and it quickly changed from a rolling river to a gurgling stream, and finally dried up completely.When Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he saw that the beads were full of white catkins and turned gray.

"This... is the power of the demon core?" He was secretly startled.

This quick method of replenishing spiritual energy, this almost addictive comfort, no wonder Rupiyu said that it is normal for monsters to covet demon pills.

Taotie shook his head: "This is not a demon pill."

If I read correctly, whether it was the singing snake that I met at the edge of the forest, or the snake that turned into a snake later on, the black energy wrapped around my body was all evil spirit.

It is normal for monsters to have clear and turbid air, and they are all manifestations of spiritual energy.Monster beasts with a clear air are more gentle, and monsters with a heavy turbid air are more violent, but they generally have a certain degree, and they will not be too out of balance.

And another kind that is a hundred times more violent than turbid qi is evil qi.

"Whether it's clean or turbid, most of them are full of vitality. But evil spirit is dead spirit." Taotie explained, "It comes from unwilling dead things or poor mountains and waters where no grass grows, with a rancid smell. It spreads, entangles all creatures with ill intentions, and covets their breath of 'life'... Tsk, it's like a plague."

Xiao Xiansheng felt goosebumps all over his body: "Then did the snake go to some dirty place? Or did it eat something dead?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." The little tiger continued to pull out a few gray peas and crushed them to reveal the bright beads inside. "Actually, the outermost appearance is the appearance of the real demon core. Be it the pill or the body, they should all be discarded directly. But there are also beads born in it, which contain much more aura than the snake demon pill itself."

The demon pill became ashen and ruined, but the pearls born inside were extremely radiant.The snake almost recklessly attacked high-level monsters, completely disregarding life and instinctive fear.

It's impossible to simply get infected with evil spirit somewhere, it's more like someone deliberately did it.

Taotie didn't say much, but Xiao Yan understood.This is a bit like the way of raising Gu, no matter whether the snake or other monsters are infected with a special evil spirit and start to devour it everywhere, the more spirit energy will gather in the body.This kind of aura is not for their own use, but is condensed in a bead in the demon core.The demon pill was sealed tightly, but it prevented the spiritual energy from leaking out.

If there is really someone behind the scenes, there is a special method to finally kill these "Gu Kings" who have eaten countless monsters, and cut out beads that contain extremely pure and powerful energy...

Thinking of the effect produced by those few small beads just now, Xiao Yan shivered.

Damn, proper anti-social elements.

Of course, these have little to do with them for the time being.For Xiao Yan, the most urgent thing is to take a bath, fill his stomach, sleep and find his way out.

Taotie obviously thought so too, rounded his head halfway, aimed at a wide dark river, strolled over with his calves, jumped into the water, and started to swim comfortably.

This move made Xiao Yan feel itchy all over.The wet mud wrapped around his body gave him a heavy sense of presence, and he even felt that his ears, eyes and nose were covered in mud, and he couldn't do without a good wash.

The shaggy-haired little fox propped up his body and took two steps, jumped into the water, and swam to Taotie's side.

The little tiger playing in the water with its thick tail froze uncomfortably, and when it saw Xiao Yan washing off the mud with a satisfied face, it frowned again: "Why did you come here?"

Xiao Yan was puzzled: "Then where am I going?"

"There are so many dark rivers, where can't you go?" He's not used to playing in the water under the eyes of others.

But like playing with water, it seems a bit like what real cubs would do, not domineering at all.The little tiger said confidently: "You are covered in mud, so dirty to death."

Don’t guess what the cats are thinking, if they disagree with each other, they will explode, Xiao Yan is speechless: "Do you think you are very clean?"

Obviously half a catty is right, so don't dislike anyone, okay?

"Mixed up my water!"

"This bit of mud, if washed away, it will be gone. How dirty can it be?" Xiao Yan was crazy, "This piece of water is the most open, and the depth is just right. Do you want me to take a bath in the hole at the other end? Just poke your head and you'll hit it!"

"..." The little tiger looked at where the fox was pointing, with a troubled expression on his face.

Xiao Yan quit, and stretched out his paws to rub Taotie's body thoughtlessly.

The little tiger cub's fur stood up one by one, and he slapped his paw away angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Don't explode at every turn, think about it for yourself, can a beast rub these places when taking a bath? What about the accumulated dirt? We can also help to take a bath together, mutual benefit, why not do it?" Xiao Yan Rolling his eyes, he was persuasive.

Take a shower together?The little tiger's eyes flashed, and his heart moved.

Soon, Xiao Yan regretted his proposal.

Damn, the stinky tiger never gets tired of it.It is said that cats are not cold to water?

Taotie turned his back to Xiao Yan contentedly, ah, apart from barbecue, the little fox still has another specialty.

Xiao Yan rubbed until his paws were sore, tears streamed down his face, and he regretted what he did. After a short pause, Moody Meow suddenly became dissatisfied, and his thick tail patted him urgently.

He decided that from now on, he would stay away from a certain big beast that loves to play tricks when taking a bath.

There is no shortage of live fish in the underground rivers.Some swim all the way in from the outside and never get out again, and some have lived in places where the sun has not been seen for generations, and the function of their eyes has completely degenerated.

Taotie's stomach had already been growling, so Xiao Yan and him fished a lot of fish, carefully removed the scales and guts, and started a simple lunch.

Without the familiar roasted aroma, there is no sour-sweet taste, but a little raw fishy smell. The gluttonous food is obviously spoiled and a little bit lacking in interest.

Xiao Yan didn't feel it, he used to love sashimi very much, but seeing the little tiger's face of reluctance, he kindly suggested: "Can't you breathe fire? You can grill it a little."

Taotie looked left and right, and felt that this fish was not good-looking, and that fish was not plump, and it was not worthy of his noble stomach. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and turned his head uncomfortably: "My fire can burn the hardest fish. The bones are all charred, how can they be used to grill fish?"

Xiao Yan understood the meaning of the words in seconds, and suddenly bald: "Oh, so it can't be roasted."

The cats are blown up!Without further ado, the little tiger jumped up, exhaled a burst of flames, and half of the fish in front of him turned into charcoal.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Taotie: "..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll roast you like this." A guilty tiger vowed.

Xiao Yan shook the wet hair on his body, and suddenly had an idea.

Reluctantly, Taotie sprayed fire on a big rock for a while, roasting the hard stone until it was boiling hot.Xiao Yan squinted his eyes and leaned over, stretched out his claws, shook his hair, and started to warm up.

Ah, so comfortable.

Taotie, who had worked as a pyrotechnician, stared at him dissatisfiedly for a while, and saw that the white fox's eyes gradually narrowed, and he dozed off just like that.After hesitating for a moment, he also dawdled over and lay down.

Eat and drink enough, you should have a good sleep.

Feeling the familiar breath approaching, the little fox moved its three tails in a daze, and rolled them up, partly covering itself and partly covering Taotie.

After waking up, Xiao Yan started his cave exploration journey.

After carefully walking through several caves, there was either a dead end, or a hole in the back. After a while, I became dizzy and couldn't tell where it was.Xiao Yan collected some algae, and left some as markers along the way, not to mention that holding a little in his mouth is not enough, just to go through this large cave extending in all directions is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two, ten and a half days A month's estimate is enough.

It would not work to run around without thinking, so Xiao Yan came up with the idea of ​​the natives.

When he entered this crypt by mistake, he saw with his own eyes a few dark and sturdy animals below. If there was no special exit, where did these natives come from?Even if there is a hole that has been dug out, he will crawl out no matter what.

But those few were obviously avoiding them, and every time they heard a little movement from afar, they had already disappeared by the time they rushed over.Occasionally, I heard the sound of the only remaining snake flapping its wings. It seemed that it was being chased by something, but the result was the same. By the time Xiao Yan rushed over, it had long since disappeared.

After chasing it several times, each time it failed, and the last time I even saw the traces left by the huge claws on the ground, but the cunning native has long since disappeared.

Xiao Yan depressedly stepped on the soft floating soil dug out by the natives, feeling a little anxious.

Do you really want to find a way to get out of the water?Such a long distance, in case the oxygen is not enough in the middle of the journey, it is still impossible to advance or retreat, and it is embarrassingly tight.

"Maybe it's the same as us. They crashed into a cliff and broke in?" Taotie followed lazily, but he didn't care too much. "Don't worry, there can't be such thick rocks everywhere. Just take a look around, if you find the right place, I can walk across with my paw...Huh?"

Taotie stopped a few steps away from Xiao Yan.He raised his nose and sniffed, with a bit of doubt on his face.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked the little fox who could see things in the dark.

Taotie got closer, and pawed at the place where there was floating dirt with his paws, following the paw prints in front of him.

Unlike other rock formations that are smooth and connected as a whole, in addition to floating soil, there are many large and small pieces of gravel underneath, which were quickly dug up by the tiger cubs.

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that there's a secret way right now?"

Plug it with a layer of crushed stones, maybe a little tiger with a downwind ear can't hear it?The more you think about it, the more reliable it is!

Taotie directly expressed his disdain for the ignorance of the Nine-Tailed Fox with actions, stretching out his claws and slapping one of the gravels hard.When Xiao Yan was taken aback, he saw a large puddle of brownish-blackish liquid gurgling out from the flattened rock.

Carefully stretched out his claws and dialed, the touch is no different from that of real stones.Touching other things is completely like the touch of stone.

"Rock spirit worm." Taotie said another concept that Xiao Yan had never heard of before, "There are earth veins here."

"I thought maybe you had a way of getting out."
