Chapter 872 Neither a demon nor a fox

Lao Shen's embarrassing performance was destined to get no applause. Several pairs of gloomy eyes stared at it without any warmth.

In a crisis-ridden environment, people will become particularly sensitive to possible risks. Brother Yaozi could even have murderous intentions towards Xiaobai before, let alone this old ginseng who would do something evil every now and then?

It can be seen that several people have put their thoughts on this aspect. As for the curse of blood... it is indeed a big deterrent, but in a way it is insignificant. People are just looking at the creatures in front of them. If

If you can't even survive the current predicament, who will think about what will happen tomorrow?

I rubbed my fingers gently, looked at the old ginseng up and down, and thought about what to do with it.

Lao Shen is an astute master. When he sensed the murderous intent among us, he knew that he could not get away with it. He stopped continuing his embarrassing performance. The roots all over his body softened, and he sat down in front of us with a "pop" and cried out.

He said to me: "I swear, I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you. Everything I said to you is all the truth. I just... I just want to live. Ants are greedy for life. I just want to live. This... nothing

Wrong? You have also seen that I have been a victim from the beginning to the end. The thing in your arms is too threatening to me. If I don't run away, I will die in its hands sooner or later!!"

Lao Bai scolded: "Fuck you, if you hadn't come to torment me in the middle of the night, how could I have ended up like this..."

I raised my hand to stop Lao Bai. I looked at Xiao Bai who was lazily in my arms and had no desire to explain. I narrowed my eyes and asked Lao Shen where did this come from?

"I didn't notice it at first. By the time I found out... it was already too late..."

Lao Shen sighed: "It...it is simply my nemesis!!"

This guy seemed to have really suffered a big loss at the hands of Xiaobai. When he mentioned this, he was frightened and his words were inevitably incoherent. After talking intermittently for a long time, I finally figured out what happened between him and Xiaobai.

This guy swore to the sky, looking like he was pouring out his heartfelt tears. If it had eighteen generations of ancestors, it would probably have to bring out all eighteen generations of its ancestors as a guarantee, and categorically said that it was the first time it decided to join us.

At that time, it had no second thoughts. After all, it also wanted to get away from this ghost place. At that time, it did not notice anything strange about Xiaobai. It even didn’t feel it when Xiaobai broke off the roots from it and nibbled it.

How threatening this little thing was, until Brother Yaozi and I went to talk, and the moment Xiaobai stayed, its spiritual sense immediately issued a crazy warning. There was no reason, it was just an intuition - this little thing is its real world.

, you can knock its bones and suck out its marrow, eat it completely, and... you won’t be punished by God at all!!

It’s as if... it was born to be on the other person’s diet. It is natural for the other person to eat it!!

Everything that happened later completely proved this point. After we left, Xiaobai didn't seem to show up, but he didn't know what kind of magic he had cast. All the energy in Lao Shen's body was sucked away by Xiaobai.

Only the most original essence is left in it, which is equivalent to sucking the old ginseng down to its last breath. If more is absorbed, the old ginseng will probably be gone.

It was at that time that Lao Shen was sure of one thing - she could never stay by my side. Staying by my side was more terrifying than being with the evil thing entrenched in this place. Even if the evil thing wanted to swallow it, I'm afraid it would take a long time.

, but around me, Xiaobai will be chewed up like a carrot at any time.

"Making it up, just keep making it up!"

Lao Bai squinted his eyes and spat on the ground. He sneered with an extremely arrogant expression and said with a sneer: "I really think I'm a piece of cake. I've had success before. What old medicine can't be taken carelessly?"

Stuffed? What about Ganoderma lucidum, ambergris, and cordyceps. They used to be eaten as food, but when it comes to taste, it is the worst for you. Not to mention a five-star review, even half a star is too much for you. The whole thing is

Although men don't like this little thing because of the smell of rotten potato, but if it is said to be interested in a piece of rotten potato, men would never believe it. You don't know how difficult this little thing is to take care of..."

The old ginseng's eyebrows showed a complicated expression. It was indeed a unique experience to listen to others comment on one's own feelings.

But for me, when Lao Shen said these words, I already believed 90% of them.

That kind of magical resonance between Xiaobai and me, that kind of... matching of strength, that is something I have never experienced before!!

I even suspect that its power is originally from the same lineage as mine!!

After listening to what Lao Shen said, I was basically 100% sure.

The old ginseng itself was born under the soil. It can be said to be a spirit bred by the earth's veins. When I surrendered and captured it, I stepped on the nine steps of the candle dragon. This itself is used to absorb the earth's energy. Because of the old ginseng's

Its essence is the essence of the earth, and this is how its power was drained away by me.

Xiaobai's power is exactly the same as mine, and it's not surprising that he can do what I do!

In addition, I also thought of a lot. Mrs. Hu said that Xiaobai was not enthusiastic about Hu Men. No matter what he was fed, he showed no interest.

Let’s talk about Lao Shen’s feelings. Could it be understood that Xiao Bai doesn’t like eating human food at all? What it prefers is earthly vein spiritual roots like Lao Shen?

For example, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc...

These precious herbs all grow in places where the power of the earth's veins is extremely powerful. They are essentially things nourished by the earth's energy!

As for Lao Bai saying that the taste of this old ginseng is very bad, this is easy to understand. I have already said that this old ginseng does not grow normally at all. It is grown by the evil things attached to this place that devoured the flesh and blood.

This evil thing attracts all the dying creatures around here, absorbing flesh and blood as nutrients. These nutrients should eventually return to the earth's veins, and are a part of the endless cycle of heaven and earth. This kind of behavior is equivalent to robbery.

Without the power of the earth's veins, but after all, it lacks the link of integrating into the earth's veins and then feeding back to all living things, which is equivalent to robbing the semi-finished product. The old ginseng grows under the nourishment of this kind of nutrients, and the taste is naturally not good.

This kind of old ginseng must be nourishing to people, but it is also harmful. That is, only a character like Lao Bai dares to swallow it in one gulp. If it were me... facing such a thing that can speak people's words.

It's definitely inedible.

"It seems that Xiaobai has absorbed the power of these earth veins and has undergone such a transformation. There is a reason why he is close to me. However, I have never heard that the children of the Hu family have such abilities. They are considered

The monster swallows the essence of the sun and the moon. Although it is also a kind of spiritual energy, it does not come from the earth's veins after all, and is different from us ritual officials.

Unless...Xiaobai is not a descendant of the Hu family in the traditional sense at all, or even does not belong to the Hu family.

Well, we may have all been misled by Brother Yaozi at first. Xiaobai is not the kind of fart fox that people say at all. Its origin...

No, it is not appropriate to say that it is misleading. It is estimated that even the big shopkeeper of the Hu family does not know the true origin of Xiaobai. Maybe the only one who really knows its origin is the ancestor of the Hu family."

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind. All the doubts that resonated with Xiaobai were relieved at this moment. I lowered my head and took a deep look at Xiaobai. Xiaobai had almost no refutation of what Lao Shen said. On the contrary, it was clear and clear.

There was also confusion in his eyes.

"It seems that asking about it won't lead to anything. All of this was done more by instinct than by planning."

I made up my mind and decided not to continue to be entangled in this matter. There is no solution to the entanglement. This kind of fate cannot be explained clearly in a few words. I gently stroked Xiaobai's soft fur and looked at the old ginseng again.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked Xiaobai with a smile: "Well, don't kill him, but shut him up completely. It's best not to cause us any more trouble along the way. Can you do that?"

Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and Old Ginseng immediately lost his composure. But before it could react, the transformed eyes, mouth and nose suddenly disappeared, and fell to the ground with a thud. It looked like a relatively large ginseng, without any traces.

A magical place.

I have been watching Xiaobai's movements for a long time, and this time I can see clearly that Xiaobai has indeed absorbed part of Lao Ginseng's essence, and... that essence was directly absorbed by Xiaobai along the ground.

Shen didn’t even have room to resist!

This ability... is weird and unpredictable!!

It... what on earth is it?

I sighed secretly, turned around and said to Wushuang: "Put this old ginseng away. This is the best result now. Let it calm down for a while, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to us. If we can break open this place

, just take it out, which can be regarded as fulfilling our earliest promise!"

After all the fuss, it was almost noon.

The spiritual energy in my body had been absorbed by Xiao Bai, and it was definitely not suitable to go further in this state. I simply closed my eyes and meditated on the spot. Lao Bai and the others also found a place to rest.

After three or four hours, the outside sun should have turned westward.

I woke up from meditating and my strength had almost recovered, so I stood up and greeted Brother Yaozi and the others, and walked all the way to the depths of the valley.
