zero o'clock

【Resonance of soul】

Right now the train was passing a straight section of road, the speed was extremely fast, the fox was dragged off the train by the monster and disappeared almost instantly.

Li Huan was shocked by this sudden change, broke out in a cold sweat, and didn't care to think about the reason, so he jumped off the train without delaying for a moment.

Both sides of the railroad tracks are covered with rough stones covered with a layer of snow foam. The airflow brought by the whizzing train seems to pull everything under the wheels and crush it. Get up and look in the direction you came from.

As the distance approached, a strong smell of blood floated in the cold air. Under the night, the fur of the fox spirit exuded a soft white light. The gravel it stepped on was soaked in blood plasma, and the disgusting monster with its decapitated body was curled up inside. .

Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally fell back into his stomach.

"Come here, it's already dead. It just wants to take us away from the train. It seems that the things in the train are really important to it." Grinning his teeth, he muttered: "This guy must have eaten something messy, the smell of blood is so strange."

Li Huan glanced at Hu Ling and said, "If my observations are correct, most of these monsters live by sucking human brains."

"So that's how it is!" Fox Ling smacked his lips as if reminiscing, "No wonder it smells like brains sashimi~"

Li Huan: "..."

Li Huan frowned uncomfortably, put the Tang Dao back into its sheath, and said contemptuously, "You're disgusting."

"Meow," Hu Ling wagged his tail triumphantly, "Thank you for the compliment~"

The corner of Li Huan's mouth twitched, thinking how could this guy be so thick-skinned?And after getting bigger, it really looks like a Samoyed!Especially the nose licking action, coupled with the bald tail, is simply stupid and embarrassing...

Thinking of it this way, he felt a little ridiculous.

Of course, someone can't really laugh, after all, he shaved the tail bald.

Keke, digressing...

Li Huan cleared his throat in a concealed manner, knelt down on one knee, and began to clean up the corpse.Suddenly, his nostrils fluttered slightly, and under the rotten smell emitted by the monster, he seemed to smell another familiar and somewhat attractive smell.

It is a special breath belonging to high-level monsters. Because monsters are powerful, their blood is purer than that of ordinary humans, and it is easier to arouse monsters' natural bloodthirsty addiction, just like weak creatures will be attracted by powerful leaders— —

This is no longer just to meet the basic needs of eating, but an instinctive and irresistible desire aroused by the induction of absolute power.

Li Huan lowered his head, and under the teasing of that sweet breath, a burning pain of hunger and thirst suddenly rose from his esophagus to his stomach. He made a very inconspicuous swallowing movement, and then took off the backpack , Pull out a waterproof cloth from the inside and spread it on the ground.

Beside him, the clear emerald eyes of the nine-tailed fox narrowed slowly, and after a moment of silence, it said in a rare serious voice: "Young master, since you came out, how long has it been since you drank fresh human blood?"

Li Huan's movements froze for a second, and then as if nothing happened, he ignored the other party's question, but continued with the work at hand, and said, "Are you injured?"

"Well... I was poked by this thing's tongue," Hu Ling licked his wet paws and washed his face like a cat, but his sly eyes kept staring at Li Huan intentionally or unintentionally. Divide the soul, the body is originally transformed by mana, this injury will not take long to heal."

"That's good." Li Huan said.

The fox smiled slyly, stretched his head and leaned towards Li Huan's hand with his wet nose, and said, "Meow, why do you suddenly care about me, young master?"

Li Huan raised his eyelids to look at it, "Want to know?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Where are we now?"

"Uh... probably just entered Shandong, what's the matter?"

Li Huan smiled, stroked the top of the fox's head to smooth its fur, and said earnestly: "Yes, it is still several hundred kilometers away from Beijing. If you are seriously injured, I will take you to the bus. I can ride you back."

Fox Spirit: "!!!"

Hu Ling glared at Li Huan with a resentful expression of "I'm hurt and you still want to ride me", and roared: "Get out!"

"Although it's a bit bumpy, you are much faster than the bus after all."

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment, then angrily shook off his hand, and said furiously, "Damn! You are insulting me! Let me tell you that spiritual pets also have dignity! You can't just ride, you know? Hey, hey , Are you listening to me?!"

Li Huan gave a solemn hum to the air, dragged the shrunken monster onto the tarp, wrapped it tightly, tied a knot, and then carefully stuffed it into the NIKE bag.

The monster was so thin that it didn't weigh much, but its length was exactly the same as that of an adult male. After NIKE packed the corpse, it didn't change at all, and it still had the same flat weightless appearance at the beginning.

"Don't be awkward, the teacher is waiting for us to go back. This matter is not over yet, and—" Li Huan stood up, put his backpack on his shoulders, and held a Tang knife in his left hand. He glanced into the distance as if feeling something, faintly Added: "You should feel it too."

"Aw..." Hu Ling got up sullenly, "What a troublesome fellow." It lowered its forelegs to facilitate Li Huan's coming up, but tilted its head up, smelling the smell in the air with its wet and sensitive nose, and said, "" It's still far away and can be thrown away."

Li Huan patted it on the head, turned over with one hand and stepped onto the fox's back. There seemed to be an unspeakable tacit understanding between the man and the beast in the relative silence.The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit turned around and let out a threatening low whine. Its slender and strong hind legs stomped on the ground with power. In an instant, its huge snow-white animal shadow jumped out like a ghost without sound.

The long night is deep, the night is starless and moonless, the wilderness is silent, and there is only heavy snow that gets denser as you go north.

There was no trace of blood on Li Huan's ice-white face, his forehead was covered with thin sweat, and the five fingers clasping the hair on the back of the fox's neck couldn't help trembling. With blue-purple blood, the fishy and sweet smell makes people almost go crazy.

He tremblingly wiped some protruding plasma with his fingers, as if sending it to his lips in a very contradictory way, but he was still reluctant to lick the blood. His body was already completely cold, but his blood vessels seemed to have been scorched by a raging fire. Dry like that.

Hu Ling sighed suddenly, and comforted him without turning his head: "Drink some, you are too young to resist the bloodthirsty demon's inherent bloodthirsty addiction with your own will. If you don't suck blood, your body will become weaker and weaker." The weaker you are, the more your master spoils you, you will be punished if you know this."

Li Huan was quiet for a moment, then sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, wiping the blood of the nine-tailed fox on his jeans, "The teacher said that I am a demon, but I can't tell what my real monster is. How can there be such a thing in this world?" A demon without a body? Ari, do you think it is possible for me to be a human being?"

Hu Ling shook his head, and said: "Young master, are you fainted from hunger? Although you have been weak in demon energy since childhood, this kind of situation is indeed very rare, but the only thing that is certain is that human beings will not have blood addiction."

"I don't know what kind of monster you are, but if you were an ordinary monster, you would have been unable to hold back your bloodthirsty desire after smelling the blood of the nine-tailed fox, and you still have the energy to wipe it off. In fact... That just goes to show one thing.”

"What?" Li Huan asked.

Hu Ling: "If you are a monster, then the level of a monster corresponding to the monster itself is probably not low."

"Oh," Li Huan rolled his eyes, "That clever Ahri, what might it mean that the demon rank is not low? You are the teacher's soul, have you seen anything about me in his mind?"

Hu Ling licked his nose depressedly, and said in a rambling manner: "I said, young master, I know you always call me a Samoyed in your heart, but I'm not as stupid as a Samoyed, okay? What about the things the master won't say?" Dare to peep? To put it mildly, I am the spiritual pet of the nine-tailed demon fox. In essence, it is not the master who draws out a strand of soul to transform into form. Hundreds of years from now!"

Li Huan lay between the soft fur of the fox, yawned lazily, and then muttered something softly.Hu Ling's ears twitched, his hair exploded instantly, and he burst into tears, "I heard you say you don't want to see me anymore, bastard!!!"

"You heard wrong." Li Huan said seriously.

"Then what are you talking about?!"

"I'm asking why you always meow like a cat?"

"Oh~ this," Hu Ling regained his arrogance, and said, "Not only did I just yell at that little bitch, but I also imitated him to act like a baby, eat, wash my face, and use the toilet~"

"What?" Li Huan was shocked, "Did you ask the teacher to shovel your shit?"

Hu Ling said anxiously: "No no no no! That dare not, I will shovel it myself..."

"Oh, I was shocked." Li Huan said.

Hu Ling couldn't help imagining the scene of the man shoveling shit, and suddenly felt thunderbolts, his feet were in a mess, he stopped quickly and almost threw Li Huan away, and then a fragile pet clutched the glass heart on his chest with his paws , panting: "You also surprised me."

"So..." Li Huan got motion sickness from the last jolt, held his forehead, resisted the urge to beat up the idiot, and said, "Why the hell are you trying to learn from a cat?"

"Oh, oh, young master," Hu Ling rushed over and hugged Li Huan's thigh, crying and howling, "A green tea cat came to my house these few days when you were away, I feel like I'm going to fall out of favor!"

"How is it possible?" Li Huan rubbed the fur of the fox, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and comforted him: "Although you are indeed not attractive, but at least you are the spiritual pet created by the teacher's split soul, no matter how partial he is, he will never stop loving his soul. , don't worry."

"Nimma, are you really comforting me?!"

"Oh, then I'll go comfort the cat."

"..." Hu Ling: "Young master, you really don't know how to chat, do you know that?"

"Speaking of which," Li Huan pondered for a while, then said, "That cat is also a demon?"

Hu Ling sniffed aggrievedly, gritted his teeth, and said, "It should be! You're so good, I lost the fight last time! Hey——!" Then Hu Ling realized, " What's the problem meow?"

"Speak well!" Li Huan said, "Where did this cat come from?"

Hu Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, "Nanluoguxiang, what's the matter?"

Li Huan smiled, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that all the pets the teacher picked up seemed to come from that alley, don't you think it's a bit..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. Li Huan frowned slightly, and looked up in the direction he came from - an indescribable force seemed to span a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers, and he could clearly feel that person The skilled spiritual power fluctuated in his body, like a resonance penetrating through space, and a long-dormant fragment in the depths of his soul trembled uncontrollably.
