September 1st, the fourth day of the transformation into Nine-tailed Fox.
At noon on this day, he was looking for food at the foot of the mountain. He ran along the river unconsciously and came to the edge of the Dahan Mountain reserve.
The wooden village, the domesticated Asian elephant, the Marais dressed in colorful clothes.
After seeing the human village, Lan Mu hurriedly stopped and just watched from a distance.
After a moment of wandering, Lan Mu's nine tails swayed and left.
He was free in the mountains, and it was better not to provoke humans.
Although he could also speak when he turned into a fox, after all, this was abroad, and the language was different. He had nothing to communicate with the Marley people, especially the indigenous villages.
He saw Nine-tailed Fox shuttling through the jungle, and her figure was particularly long.
When he ran, he did not want to let his tail rise high, which looked very ugly, so he had to let it float parallel to the ground behind him.
In this way, the gorgeous nine tails were like streamers, and when he ran, he was like a white rainbow.
He chased a pheasant and did not need to use his claws and teeth at all. He passed by it, and the nine tails gently stroked it and took away its essence.
Lan Mu kept running, and he had already finished the hunt. The pheasant fell to the ground and died.
Such an elegant hunting method was gradually familiarized with him in the past few days and he figured it out.
He did not need to use his claws and teeth like ordinary animals. Any part of his body touched a creature and he could absorb the other's essence.
On the way back to the Dahan Mountain, he sucked two pheasants by the way.
Suddenly, he stopped and climbed a big tree.
Not far away, a little boy appeared, wearing ethnic costumes, screaming in an unknown language and fleeing.
The boy was chased by three wild jackals, showing their teeth and saliva, which looked cruel and evil. Even Lan Mu felt his hair stand up when he saw it.
"More than three …"
Lan Mu found that there were four wild jackals from the flank, and a total of seven wild jackals were besieging a little boy.
The little boy was obviously from the previous village. Maybe he played too deep, so he was besieged by wild jackals in the jungle.
The jackals looked like dogs and foxes. They were fierce and cruel, and they liked to use group killing tactics to wear down the physical strength of the prey. Finally, the prey was swarmed and bitten to death.
Seeing that he was surrounded, the little boy hurriedly climbed up a tree. However, he was too small and the tree was too thick. His body kept sliding down.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and every time it slid down, he would cry out.
The jackals were drooling under the tree and looking at him, ready to pounce and bite him at any time. The boy's hand was scratched by the bark, and blood flowed out, but he didn't dare to let go.
Lan Mu finally let out an angry roar when he saw the group of jackals crouching low and about to leap up.
"Ying ying ying!"
He couldn't be blamed for acting cute. Nine-tailed Fox's voice couldn't be changed no matter how he transformed. It would always sound like a baby.
The jackals and the boy followed the sound and saw a beautiful white fox squatting on a branch of a big tree.
The boy looked at the fox in a daze. Suddenly, he noticed the nine tails and was stunned. He cried out and fell from the tree.
He sat on the ground, dumbfounded. If he landed in the middle of a pack of jackals, he would be torn to pieces in the next second.
However, the jackals didn't swarm him. The boy stared blankly at the seven jackals ignoring his existence. They looked at the fox while drooling and slowly approached it.
The pack of jackals was charmed by Lan Mu, and they were all attracted to the tree he was hiding under.
"This idiot, why aren't you running …"
Lan Mu saw the boy still sitting on the ground stupidly and secretly shook his head.
"If you don't run, I'll run!"
He jumped down from the tree. When he landed, his tail was like a floating cloud.
After running for a few hundred meters, the jackals also chased for a few hundred meters, but they were still charmed by Lan Mu.
Lan Mu flicked his tail, and the seven wild jackals were sucked dry of their energy and died in happiness.
Relaxed, simple, elegant, and without a trace.
A few minutes later, he returned to Dahan Mountain. He stood at the top of the mountain, full of energy. His tail was like a canopy, absorbing the essence of the sun.
Besides cultivating, he really had nothing else to do.
As time passed, the sun moved to the west. He put away his tail.
At this time, he noticed that the little boy was silently looking at him from the bottom of the mountain.
"Huh? He followed me? "Seeing the little boy secretly peeping at him, Lan Mu was speechless.
He didn't care about saving a life. But he ignored the fact that his Nine-tailed Fox appearance was very attractive to humans.
He obviously didn't charm the other party, but the little boy still followed him. It seemed that he had been standing there for a whole day.
After thinking about it, Lan Mu decided to slip away. He couldn't just kill the little boy, right? Anyway, he was hiding in the deep forest. In three days, he would turn back into a human.
He rushed down from the mountain and slipped into the forest. This time, he used his full speed. The little boy couldn't outrun him and was quickly shaken off.
The sun was setting in the west. The forest quickly became dark.
After staying in the tree for two hours, Lan Mu couldn't wait any longer.
"The forest is full of insects … it's pitch black. Who knows what will attack me at night …"
Lan Mu was not a beast like the white lion. He was naturally a deterrent to animals. On the contrary, he would attract animals and arouse their lust. He didn't know what kind of passivity it was.
Moreover, he couldn't absorb moonlight in the forest. He had no choice but to turn back.
When he returned to the foot of the mountain, he was surprised to find that the little boy was still there!
He was leaning against a rock and squatting on the ground. He looked very panicked and confused.
"No way? You have such perseverance? "
"Could it be that he can't find his way back? Yes … he is probably only eight or nine years old. The forest at night is too dangerous for him. "
After thinking about it, this mountain was the best place for him to live. It was not a good idea for him to be guarded by this boy.
If he didn't care about him, it would be bad if some wild beast took him away at night. He might as well send him back.
Lan Mu walked with his snow-white limbs and lightly ran in front of the boy.
The boy looked at him in surprise and said a lot of things.
"I don't understand what you are saying …"
Lan Mu ignored him. He cried out twice and turned around to leave.
As expected, the boy followed him step by step. This time, Lan Mu walked slowly on purpose to protect the boy on his way home.
Lan Mu still remembered the way back to the village. Even if they met wild beasts, he only needed to use [Charm] to deal with them.
The little boy curiously looked at his beautiful tail and slowly reached out his hand to touch it.
Lan Mu's hair stood on end as soon as he touched him.
"Don't touch me! Little brat, you dare to touch me? "
Lan Mu held back his urge to absorb the man's Essence Qi. He turned around and glared at him, showing his teeth fiercely.
The little boy was shocked. He put his hands behind his back and lowered his head, not daring to be rash.
"Humph!"
Lan Mu walked forward. On the way, he met many wild beasts which confirmed his guess.
"Nine-tailed Fox is really attractive to animals? What is it that attracted them here? "
Lan Mu noticed that many animals seemed to be attracted by the scent …
"Could it be that I have a strange fragrance? Why can't I smell it? "
Not long after, Lan Mu heard the shouts of humans in the distance. They seemed to be shouting a name.
"Rattle Drum? Could that be your name? "
Lan Mu turned around to look at the boy and saw that he was indeed happy. He quickly ran to the source of the sound.
"Yes, it's his family looking for him …"
Lan Mu successfully retreated. When he saw a large group of people holding torches in the distance, he immediately ran away.
…
"Rattle Drum … You said that a Nine-tailed Fox saved you? Lying is not a good child … "The boy's father hugged him and said.
The boy was called Rattle Drum. He insisted, "It's true! It's true! What a beautiful fox … It has nine tails and it's pure white! It's very fragrant! "
"Haha, your son is so funny. We have lived here for generations. If there was a Nine-tailed Fox in the Great Han Mountain, we should have seen it long ago!" His father's friend laughed.
More than twenty strong men came from the village. They all laughed loudly. Obviously, they did not believe the boy's words. They thought that he was scared and was talking nonsense.
However, Rattle Drum was still very confident. He kept looking back, hoping to see the beautiful fox that saved him.
Seeing Rattle Drum so confident and the attachment in his eyes, a dark-skinned man rolled his eyes and said, "I remember that I smelled a fragrance from afar. It smelled like flowers and body fragrance. Do you think it was really a Nine-tailed Fox?"
"Hahaha! Saisepin, you actually believe in the existence of a Nine-tailed Fox. Could it be that you are thinking of women? "
The people in the village laughed at the dark-skinned man, Saisepin, but he did not care. He only pondered.
The next day, Saisepin carried his bow and went out early in the morning. He went deep into the forest alone.
When he passed by the place where he met Rattle Drum yesterday, the fragrance had already dissipated. He recalled the mountain that Rattle Drum had mentioned.
On the way, he found many corpses of wild beasts. Their flesh was cracked and their eyeballs were shriveled.
"There are no wounds, and they were not killed by blunt weapons … This …"
After discovering the strange way the animals died, Saisepin was filled with curiosity. He went straight to Dahan Mountain.
When he arrived at Dahan Mountain, he did not see the legendary Nine-tailed Fox.
He was slightly disappointed, but he did not give up and continued to search.
When he reached the back of the mountain, he was already far away. Suddenly, he was stunned. Then, his whole body started to tremble.
"Fox … Nine-tailed Fox!"
He saw a Nine-tailed Fox in the shade of the mountain. It was the only place where he could see the sun.
Its nine distinct tails spread out like a peacock spreading its tail. It was beautiful under the sunlight.
"Evil spirit! Demon! "
Saisepin had no respect for the Nine-tailed Fox. His first reaction was to draw his bow, but then he put it down.
"No, no, no, I can't shoot it from this distance …"
He suddenly became happy and laughed sinisterly.
"Hehe … My fortune is coming!"
Saisepin turned and ran. His figure disappeared into the forest.
The Nine-tailed Fox on the mountain did not notice.
