fox repair

They walked for half a day, and all they could see was yellow sand, not to mention foxtail fruit, not even a grass hair, the sun above their heads could almost burn people, and the flames kept squeezing the water in the body, not much I don't dare to squander the fresh water easily, and every time I am extremely thirsty, I only use a little water to moisten my dry lips.

However, among the group of people, only Ning Yuan looked particularly relaxed. Not only did he not drink a drop of water from the beginning to the end, he didn't even sweat much, and his expression was so calm that he didn't seem to be walking in the desert at all.Every time he took a break to replenish water, he would feed the little fox with water, but he would not drink any, which was strange.

"Brother Ning, don't you need some water?" When he stopped to rest again, the yellow-faced man looked at the two people who were sticking together all the time, and asked suspiciously.

Ning Yuan was holding a water bag to feed Mo Chen, and when he finished drinking, he wanted to use his sleeve to wipe the water stains on his mouth, but Mo Chen moved over and stamped on his lips, rubbing his lips wet.Ning Yuan seemed to be unexpected, his body froze, and an imperceptible look of disgust appeared on his face, but he quickly covered it up, still looking at the young man with gentle eyes, but the brief change of expression was caught by the yellow-faced man's sharp eyes. captured.

"It's also strange. I haven't drank water for a long time. I haven't been thirsty, and I don't feel too hot." Ning Yuan seemed to have just realized when he was asked, and wiped his lower lip while talking to the yellow-faced man, as if Very displeased to be kissed by Mo Chen.

The yellow-faced man thought he had discovered some great information, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Mo Chen vaguely.

When the bearded man over there heard Ning Yuan's words, his eyes lit up and he leaned over and asked, "Brother Ning thinks, but is the effect of the foxtail fruit?"

As soon as Ning Yuan was mentioned, he suddenly realized, "Brother Changran said so, I think it is very possible, otherwise I will travel with everyone, and I will not feel so tired. It is indeed a spiritual fruit of heaven and earth, no wonder I took it out for a meeting. In exchange for that much money."

Everyone looked at the white and fat man together, as if to ask him for proof, could the foxtail fruit also have the effect of helping people escape the summer heat.The fat white man shook his head, meaning he didn't know either.The bearded man and the others couldn't help being disappointed, but for the fabled foxtail fruit, they were all the more certain and fascinated.

"Guys, we're going to leave the main road any further. My friend Mo told me that he felt the aura of foxtail fruit, which is not far to the east from here."

Off the main road?The bearded man took out the map he had bought from the local residents before they entered the desert. Before they entered the desert, the residents on the border of the desert had specially instructed them not to deviate from the main road, because there would still be vegetation on the main road. First, it can be used as a road sign, so as not to make them lose their way. Second, where there are plants growing in the desert, it means that there is a source of water and can provide supplies.Once you leave the main path without authorization, you will be close to death, and it will be difficult to find it again.

Everyone was a little hesitant at this moment, but seeing that Ning Yuan had already led the boy in white to ride the camel again, heading east first, they gritted their teeth and followed together.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't know what the little fox demon had said to Ning Yuan, because the young man seldom spoke, and when he wanted to speak, he always leaned on Ning Yuan's body and leaned into his ear, who dared to eavesdrop, he They simply shut up, and everyone couldn't help it. Knowing that this little vixen fell in love with Ning Yuan, he didn't want to communicate with other people at all, so he didn't say anything else.Maybe if they offend this little God of Wealth, they will lose more than they gain.

Walking farther and farther away from the main road, seeing that the water bag is getting empty, but still seeing nothing, the sun in the afternoon is getting hotter and hotter, everyone discusses to find a place to stop to escape the heat, and then go on the road in the evening, and if it goes on like this, it will be dry. No.Fortunately, as long as they stay up for a few more hours, the sun will set, and they can travel at night, which is much better than now.

It's just that the eyes are full of yellow sand, where to hide?Not even a big rock.

Just when everyone was desperate, a huge sand dune suddenly appeared in front of them. One side of the sand dune was sunken inward, and it turned out to be a huge sand cave.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they got off their camels one after another and rushed to the sand cave.

I don't know what kind of beast's lair, this sand cave sits in the lee of the sand dunes, and the black hole leads to the ground, and the depth is unknown.Everyone looked at each other, as if asking who would go in first, and then looked at Ning Yuan and Mo Chen tacitly.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuan didn't wait for the four of them to open their mouths, and proposed to be the first to enter the hole. Not only was there no tension on his face, but he was even a little urgent.Seeing this, the bearded man couldn't help feeling suspicious, squinted his eyes, and raised his hand to stop Ning Yuan.

"Wait a minute, Brother Ningyuan is a guest, how can we let you be the first to take the risk? This sand cave is so deep, I don't know if there will be any beasts in it, let me wait to open the way." The bearded man thought very hard. Simple, since Ning Yuan wanted to be the first to enter the cave so much, it just didn't work out as he wanted, who knows if he has some conspiracy or not.

Sure enough, Ning Yuan's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise, and asked the long-bearded man: "Forget it, if that's the case, who is the first one that Brother Long-beard wants to let in?"

The bearded man glanced around, and finally pointed at the yellow-faced man, "Second brother is quick-witted, and his skills are the best among us, let's fight this battle."

The yellow-faced man's eyes were dark, but he didn't say anything in front of the long-bearded man. He smiled dryly and agreed to go first, but when the long-bearded man turned around, the eyes that fell on him were quite resentful. .He glanced at Ning Yuan again, thought for a while, and finally came to ask Ning Yuan while everyone was leading the camels to organize their equipment.

"Brother Ning, tell the truth, is there something in it?"

Seeing his gloomy expression, Ning Yuan looked meaningfully at the long-bearded man not far away, and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no danger inside. Not only is there no danger, but there is something good."

The yellow-faced man's expression moved slightly when he heard it, "Oh? Good stuff?"

Ning Yuan put his arms around the young man in white who had been sticking to him and refused to get off, smiled and glanced sideways at him, with a rather doting tone, "My little friend told me that there is a topaz hidden in the sand cave. A group of people stayed here a month ago. The reason why I wanted to be the first to go in was to dig out the crystal and take it for myself before you guys knew it. But since your boss has already seen through it, I won’t have the chance in the future. If I take it again, I might as well tell you, it can be regarded as a favor that goes along with the flow."

How could you tell him such a good thing?The yellow face is no less suspicious than the long-bearded man. Ning Yuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and chuckled: "Actually, what is this? Compared to the baby we are about to get later, it is just a mosquito leg. Believe it or not Well, when the time comes, don’t you know if you go in and have a look?”

The yellow-faced man was skeptical, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He still planned to be fully prepared and took out all his housekeeping treasures, even the iron cylinder-shaped poisonous needle projectile hidden weapon that was used to deal with Ning Yuan last night.

In fact, Ning Yuan did not lie. The topaz in the sand cave was not placed by others, but it was left when he first came to the desert to explore the road.

Yes, this is not the first time Ning Yuan has entered this desert.

He has always believed in a principle. If he wants to succeed in anything, he must be prepared for everything.

The lord of Pingkou City suddenly issued a hero order for no reason to invite the world to catch monsters. It must be trapped by monsters. There are no mountains, forests or pools near Pingkou City, and only this desert can accommodate monsters to survive.He has always been a loner all his life, and he doesn't know how to go with others. When the time comes, interests will come first, and so many monster hunters want to share the profits. If he doesn't leave a retreat for himself in advance, how can he conform to his style of conduct?

Speaking of this trip to Pingkou City, the only thing that went beyond his plan was meeting this little fox beside him.

Mo Chen is indeed a mortal right now, and he doesn't have the so-called sensory and predictive ability, but since these people followed him into the desert, life and death afterward are all under his control.

"Ayuan, are you sure that yellow-faced ghost won't betray you and tell the other three people what you said?" Seeing the yellow-faced man walk away, Mo Chen asked Ning Yuan's shoulder again.

Ning Yuan smiled faintly, "He won't."

Mo Chen wondered: "How do you know, they are the same group, how can they help you?"

Ning Yuan turned his head to meet Mo Chen's dark eyes, and couldn't help but nodded on the tip of his nose, "Ah Chen, you have to know that the human heart is a complicated thing. Sometimes you don't need us to get rid of some people." Do it yourself."

Mo Chen lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose, and said oh, "Borrowing a knife to kill people, I understand."

Ning Yuan was quite surprised, "Oh? You still know this?"

Mo Chen raised his chin rather dissatisfied, and said to himself that he has lived for hundreds of years, and he has heard and read human drama scripts, but when he was a fox in the past, he was obsessed with the complicated twists and turns of human beings. The comprehension is not thorough, and it is not until now that I am really in the crowd that I have a deeper understanding, and I have made rapid progress under Ning Yuan's words and deeds.

After all, he is a clever fox, and some things can be understood easily, just like now, his ability to deceive people is already very good.

"Ayuan, you haven't been drinking water, can you hold on?" Mo Chen suddenly remembered something again.

The reason why Ning Yuan has been able to keep from sweating and drinking water is entirely because he has a bead for escaping the summer heat, which was passed to him by the master of Xianmen back then.But that thing is not even considered a magic weapon in the world of cultivating immortals, at most it can be regarded as a defective product, even ordinary people can still treat it as a treasure, barely able to resist the heat, but it is not a real summer treasure.In order to fool the four monster catchers, Ning Yuan made them think that he had eaten foxtail fruit, so he insisted on refusing to drink water. In fact, he also needs to replenish water, otherwise he will suffer from heat stroke sooner or later.

"I'm fine. I can last for a while. I'll find a chance to drink water when they go to bed at night."

Mo Chen rolled his eyes, and finally he was willing to let go of the arms around Ning Yuan's neck, and before Ning Yuan asked him what he was doing, he floated towards the four of them step by step.

Although they knew that he didn't have magic spells now, the four of them were still somewhat afraid of Mo Chen, a monster. Seeing him approaching, they all showed vigilant expressions and stared at his every move.

"Mr. Mo, what are you going to do? We'll help you with what you're looking for." The white-haired, childlike old man who talked the least came over and asked.

But Mo Chen acted as if he hadn't heard, found him and Ning Yuan's camel, took the water bag from it, took a sip, wiped his mouth, hung the water bag back up, and left as if nothing happened.

Every time I see him drinking water like this, it hurts a few people. This is in the desert, I thought he was drinking cows!It will look good when they finish drinking the water.

The crowd led the camels into the sand cave. The yellow-faced man was the first, followed by the white-haired and child-like face. Ning Yuan and Mo Chen were caught in the middle, followed by the white fat man and the bearded man.

When Mo Chen first entered the cave, he hooked Ning Yuan's neck and kissed his lips. Ning Yuan was caught off guard and didn't understand why Mo Chen was doing this. When they meet, they feel a stream of water coming over them.

It turned out that Mo Chen was afraid that he would feel bad if he couldn't drink water, so he came up with this way to secretly bring him water to drink.

While lamenting the cunning of the little fox, Ning Yuan felt warmth rising in his heart, and wrapped his arms around his waist and hugged him tightly, deepening the kiss.

The one who was walking well suddenly hugged each other and started making out, the fat white man and the bearded man who were walking behind them almost collapsed, wishing to stab them to death with a single blow, so as to save their eyesight.

Fortunately, Ning Yuan still had some human sense of shame, pushed the boy away from his body, and said "Don't make trouble" in a low voice, his tone was quite cold and sullen.

The fat white man and the bearded man looked at each other with a clear expression.

It seems that this person named Ning Yuan is really not sincerely entangled with this little goblin, and it can even be said that he was forced to do nothing.If so, they can get in the way and make another plan.As long as the little fox demon and Ning Yuan are not of the same mind, they can save a lot of worries, and they will not be able to deal with it if they just provoke them.

A group of people have their own thoughts, without the burning of the poisonous sun, the more they walk into the sand cave, the cooler it will be. This sand cave is very deep, and the inside is pitch black. I don't know what was dug out before.In this scorching sun in the desert, this place is a blessed place.

After everyone came in, they found places to sit down and rest.The yellow-faced man was the first to enter the cave. Because he was thinking about the topaz that Ning Yuan said, he rushed in as soon as he entered the cave. Sure enough, according to what Ning Yuan said, he found the topaz wrapped in a cloth bag under a big rock. , and put it in his arms before the others came in.

After Ning Yuan entered Rusha Cave, as soon as he saw the yellow-faced man's secretly delighted expression, he knew that he had succeeded, but he quietly found a corner and sat down, closing his eyes and resting his mind.The yellow-faced man was a little jealous of Ning Yuan at first, for fear that he would embarrass him by revealing the matter, but unexpectedly he was so sensible, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, thinking about what was on his mind.

It is rare to have a chance to rest. For a person who has been running around for a day, he is already extremely tired. After arranging the sequence of guard duty, he lay down and rested.

It is naturally impossible for Ning Yuan and Mo Chen to fall asleep at the same time, one of them must be awake.It's Ning Yuan's turn to be in the first shift, and I don't know whether it's a coincidence or deliberate, but the yellow-faced man was on guard with him.

The two of them didn't speak at first, but when the snores of other people started to sound in the sand cave, the yellow-faced man made a face to Ning Yuan, which meant that the two went to talk outside the sand cave.Ning Yuan pointed at Mo Chen and waved his hand. His arm was being held in his arms and he couldn't get away.

The yellow-faced man glanced at the others, thought for a while, took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, and took a cinnabar pen for drawing talismans, wrote a note and handed it to Ning Yuan.Ning Yuan took a look at the note and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, only to see a sentence written on it: "Would you like to join hands with me?"

Taking the pen and paper thrown by the yellow-faced man, Ning Yuan wrote a reply on the paper and threw it back.The yellow-faced man picked it up and looked at it, almost vomiting blood.

Ning Yuan only wrote two words on the paper: "What do you mean?"

The man pretended to be confused with understanding, the yellow-faced man took a look at Ning Yuan, and had no choice but to write patiently: "Long Beard has never let go of his guard against you, and once he uses it all, he will turn his back on you. At that time, two against four, you are afraid Hard to take advantage of."

Ning Yuan thought for a moment, then wrote a reply: "Why do you think for me?"

"I thought you were in love with that fox demon before, but I really didn't dare to call your attention, but I can see that you are just a stopgap measure, and you really want to get rid of the fox demon's entanglement. Since you have what you need, I have something Please, why not form an alliance?"

Ning Yuan: "What do you want?"

The yellow-faced man glanced at the big bearded man who was sleeping heavily beside him, and wrote on the paper: "Get rid of him, and I will help you deal with the fox demon."

Ning Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was considering the opinion of the yellow-faced man. His eyes fell on the sleeping boy beside him, and he showed disgust again, without the tenderness and affection of the day. In the end, he didn't write anything on the paper, but just pushed the pen and paper away. Also, nodded slowly, indicating that he was willing to accept the yellow-faced man's proposal.

Seeing Ning Yuan's happy expression, the yellow-faced man couldn't help laughing mockingly.Naturally, he would not cooperate with this person sincerely, but only temporarily use him to get rid of his long beard, and then play it by ear, so that no one here can walk out of the desert alive.After swallowing all the wealth alone, and then finding the daughter of the city lord of Pingkou, and becoming the son-in-law of the city lord of Pingkou, he will live like a fairy for the rest of his life, without any worries.

The wishful thinking in his heart was playing loudly, the yellow-faced man crumpled up the note of collusion with Ning Yuan, and wanted to stuff it into his mouth and eat it directly, but the talisman paper and cinnabar used to write the note were prepared with special potions, poisonous Not small, and there was no fire here, and the yellow-faced man searched around but didn't think there was any proper place to destroy the evidence, so he just put it in his arms.

Ning Yuan watched coldly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.At this time, in the dim sand cave, his quiet face was half hidden in the shadows, and the faint smile on his lips made the lines of his side face look a little deeper.The boy in his arms moved at this moment, lazily turned over, and slept extremely dishonestly, unlike the other three, who were all motionless and deep in sleep, and snored earth-shatteringly.

Stretching out his hand, Ning Yuan patted Mo Chen lightly, his dark eyes only showed some warmth and light when he looked down at the young man, and he looked no longer so alienated and indifferent.

"The thing I got in the cave just now..." Ning Yuan said suddenly, seeing the yellow-faced man looking over guardedly, he seemed to be quite frightened by his sudden sound, "Forget it, anyway, this thing is not good to me now. Use it, maybe the little fox will find others in the future."

The yellow-faced man took a special look at the three people sleeping on the opposite side, frowned slightly, and after observing for a long time, saw that they did not respond, he was slightly relieved, he could not help but blame Ning Yuan for his recklessness, and he was not afraid that they were pretending to be asleep, stealing After listening to their conversation, if it wasn't for his scruples, why would he bother to speak with pen and paper?But thinking about it the other way around, it's also fortunate that this young little demon catcher doesn't have so much scheming, doesn't think carefully, and is a little impetuous, so he can control it in the future.

Touching the priceless topaz in his arms, the yellow-faced man thought that everything was under control, and he couldn't help showing complacency, but he didn't notice at all that the topaz was not mentioned in Ning Yuan's words just now. And the choice of words and sentences is very ambiguous to the ears of others.

Everyone rested in the sand cave for a few hours, and waited for the sun to set outside and the night to fall before they came out of the cave and started on the road again. The expressions of the audience were all the same as before.

Without the scorching sun, the lone moon is hanging, and the desert is completely white, which is a bit cold.

Night is the time when creatures come out in the desert. Compared with the silence of the day, the sea of ​​sand at night is filled with all kinds of subtle rustling sounds. The sound similar to ghost crying is even more creepy.

However, the six people present were not ordinary people after all, so they were not intimidated by this scene.

At this time, Mo Chen suddenly smelled a rather familiar smell in the air, which is the unique smell of the fox family, or more precisely, it is a kind of induction belonging to the same kind.

"Ayuan, there are sand foxes nearby." Mo Chen whispered to Ning Yuan.

"Are they monsters?"

"Well, but the level is not high, they are all low-level monsters of the first and second level." Mo Chen tried to sniff again, his expression changed slightly, "but there are quite a lot of them, yes, there are many..."

Before Mo Chen finished speaking, he suddenly heard the old man with white hair and childlike face exclaimed in surprise, and shouted: "Look quickly! There are four people lying in front!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked forward, and they saw four people lying straight in the pale desert. They all had their eyes wide open and their mouths open. Their lips were livid and their faces were as white as paper. They were obviously dead.
