[Xiu Xian] Master, let's talk about life

014

The slightly humid cold wind blows through the tall trees and low shrubs, and the damp soil brings steaming mist, which condenses into dew on the bark of the plants and trees. The dense and prosperous forest is like a huge monster that chooses to eat people. .

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed over from a distance, but just as it stepped on a branch, a golden light suddenly enveloped it, followed by a pair of slender white hands.

Chen Xiuping took a look at the small animals caught in the trap, and was extremely disappointed.

Trembling and terrified in the golden light was a fluffy squirrel no bigger than a palm. Chen Xiuping withdrew the effect of the spell in disappointment—such a small thing, let alone whether it can be eaten or not, even if he intends to eat it. Not enough to fit between the teeth.

Because he threw away all the things he got from Xu Baifeng, Chen Xiuping thought about it for a while, and then he was ready to go back to his old job of hunting when the conditions were tough.

Undoubtedly, he has rich experience, and now he has more advanced hunting methods, and he can easily capture ordinary animals and spirit beasts, but this kind of thing undoubtedly depends on some luck. He was not lucky today, so he waited for so long. There was only one mouse that didn't have enough teeth - well, it was a squirrel.

The squirrel was in Chen Xiuping's palm, but it didn't run away, its round black eyes bulged and stared at him, its fluffy tail and all the hair on its body exploded.Chen Xiuping and him looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly realized after a while, could it be that he was petrified?

Until there was a loud noise from behind, the little squirrel shrank into a ball suddenly, trembling.

Chen Xiuping turned his head and saw a giant snake the size of a human body rushing towards it.

Chen Xiuping acted decisively, and was about to throw away the squirrel in his hand, and then went to pull out the Shoupo, and then he found—wrong touch?

Before he had time to think about what was going on, the giant snake had already hit him. Chen Xiuping hurriedly stepped on the nearby tree to hide, then raised his hand to take a look, and saw that the squirrel was not thrown off at all, but looked like brown sugar It stuck in the palm of my hand.

"What's the matter..." Before he could complain, the giant snake flicked its tail again, the blue-gray scales on the tail turned crimson red, and everything it passed turned into scorched earth.

After all, he still couldn't turn such a cute little animal into meatloaf, so Chen Xiuping could only use his spiritual power, a pair of translucent wings spread out behind his back, and when his feet were clear, he rose into the air.

The giant snake flicked its tail, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, wandering around in place.

Chen Xiuping was very proud. Looking at the reptiles below who hadn't figured out the situation for a long time, he laughed loudly and said, "You're stupid, brother can fly~"

Then he shook the squirrel in his hand again: "What's the matter, the brown sugar can't be shaken off."

He inspected carefully and found that although this squirrel was petite and exquisite, its fur was very beautiful. It looked brownish-yellow on the surface, with dark red at the root, which became lighter as it went outside until the end became translucent. If you look closely, it looks like amber.

And the reason why he took root in Chen Xiuping's palm seemed to be that the translucent part of the tip of the fur pierced into Chen Xiuping's flesh, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel it at all.

At this moment, he has already noticed the extraordinaryness of the squirrel, but the current situation is a bit troublesome. To be honest, he really wanted to kill the snake, but with the squirrel in his palm, it would be difficult for him to cast spells or draw his sword. I don't want to pinch the squirrel to death, so now it seems that I can only leave first.

With the thought that having something is better than nothing, Chen Xiuping complained: "If you stay in my hands, I can't even draw a sword. How can I kill a snake?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the squirrel raised its face probingly, and then its small eyes lit up, and it darted into Chen Xiuping's collar.

Chen Xiuping: "..."

This squirrel is quite revengeful.

Of course, Chen Xiuping could tell that the snake jumped out suddenly, probably chasing this little thing. The squirrel didn't run away, but now it was tightly stuck to Chen Xiuping's chest, probably out of seeking protection and hope. Chen Xiuping had the mentality of killing the giant snake.

Chen Xiuping was amazed at the IQ of this squirrel, he drew his Shoupo sword to cut off the snake, and saw that the little squirrel poked its head out of Chen Xiuping's collar as the blood of the giant snake spewed out, paused, and then It crawled up to Chen Xiuping's shoulder and stood on it, its eyeballs kept rolling. Although it didn't know what it was thinking, Chen Xiuping subconsciously felt that it was probably quite happy.

Really should be very happy, the squirrel wagged its tail, and a thin and sharp voice rang in Chen Xiuping's ear: "Thank you, thank you immortal, the little one will definitely repay you."

While packing up the giant snake's body, Chen Xiuping asked casually, "You can talk."

The squirrel's voice was so small that it could be blown away by a gust of wind: "Yes, the little one has practiced for more than 100 years."

Chen Xiuping sighed with a "hehe": "This is older than me, and I have to call you Grandpa Squirrel."

The squirrel hurriedly said "Don't dare" and said, "The fairy can call me Xiaosong."

Chen Xiuping glanced at him: "You are really a squirrel, that is really extraordinary."

Xiao Song hesitated: "What's the matter, it's just good luck, it's nothing compared to the immortal you."

However, Chen Xiuping felt that this squirrel was probably a monster with extraordinary talent in the legend, definitely much stronger than himself. After taking the snake meat, he said: "Don't call me a fairy, it sounds awkward."

Xiao Song hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Then... Your Majesty?"

Chen Xiuping: "..."

Xiaosong probably lived in the deep mountains since he became sane. Although he didn't have many communication barriers, and he spoke modestly and politely, but after a few more words, Chen Xiuping could still see that the other party was innocent. Actually a child.

Xiao Song said that he would repay him, and Chen Xiuping asked with a smile: "How will you repay me?"

Xiao Song thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "I have stored a lot of pine cones..."

Chen Xiuping laughed: "I don't like eating pine nuts, I prefer meat... By the way, it should be a great tonic for you, right?"

Xiaosong started to tremble, and his voice became even thinner: "The small ones are not good to eat, and the small ones will make you sick if you eat them."

Although frightened and confused, Xiao Song did not run away, saying that he wanted to repay, Chen Xiuping secretly sighed, no wonder this little squirrel can achieve spiritual wisdom, just this natural attachment to cause and effect should not be underestimated.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Cheng Yin again. Cheng Yin accepted him as his apprentice and treated him so well because he saved him?

Chen Xiuping used to be secretly happy about this, but now for some reason, his heart is sour.
