Learn one small skill every day

"Tch, what a tasteless guy."

Zhao Wanyang pouted: "One day you'll come to like durian."

"Speaking of which, aren't you almost there?"

Zhao Wanyang has one more solo instance to complete, and it's about time for that.

"Let's wait a couple of days, I'm not sure..."

"Don't worry, you'll pass."

This isn't just Bai Miao making things up; it's based on Faust's information that Zhao Wanyang died in a team dungeon, which means Zhao Wanyang's solo dungeon can be cleared.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Zhao Wanyang took this as a consolation.

Even after thirty days on the Endless Energy Ship, the Zero Lock's charge has only reached about 80%. Bai Miao estimates that he will have to wait for another instance to fully charge it.

This is only possible if you use it sparingly.

If it triggers three or four times like the Shadow of Yar, it would be good if the durability didn't drop.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Zhao Wanyang hesitated before speaking, "Well, a lot of people are planning to go on vacation during the summer after the college entrance exams... are you interested?"

"Just the two of us?"

"Of course not. If you want to go, I'll invite some other people. I'm planning to go to the beach."

ocean……

Jiangcheng is a place where you can't see the sea, but for Bai Miao, the memories of the sea are somewhat tormenting.

"Going on vacation for a few days...that would be a good idea."

Let's just treat it as a way to change our mood.

"Then it's settled!"

When the bus arrived at the station, Zhao Wanyang hurriedly called Bai Miao to get on the bus. Once on the bus, the topic of the person knocking on the door became less interesting to discuss.

They could chat online, but Zhao Wanyang felt uncomfortable chatting face-to-face, so she chatted with Bai Miao about studying for the college entrance exam.

People around them noticed that these two kept mentioning things like being the top scorer at Peking University.

After returning home, Bai Miao received an official announcement on the Knock on the Door network plaza.

[Recently, an unidentified white creature has appeared. Please report any sightings to authorities immediately. This creature has already caused several deaths and traumatic injuries to others. The following are the characteristics of this creature:]

1. Pure white in color and small in size, it could easily be mistaken for a cat or dog at first glance. Based on eyewitness accounts, zoologists have determined that this creature is most closely related to the commonly known fox. However, its characteristics do not suggest it is a fox.

2. They often appear in alleys, and are more likely to appear on rainy days.

3. Approaching this creature will evoke an instinctive feeling of compassion; please do not feed it. There have been reports of nightmares following feeding it, and in severe cases, it may develop an extreme hunger urge and uncontrollably devour itself.

4. Prohibited Items: Any hostile interaction with this creature is strictly prohibited; this creature reacts extremely to sharp objects. If you see this creature while it is using a pointed umbrella, please immediately close your umbrella and discard it.

Finally, please remember that if you discover any trace of this creature, do not approach it. Contact official personnel immediately for assistance. Thank you for your cooperation.

If such an announcement were posted online, it would only be considered an urban legend. However, the fact that the authorities are now seeking assistance from various stakeholders indicates that the harm caused by this thing has become quite significant.

It's hard to say how many people will take this announcement to heart.

Wait... a fox?!

Bai Miao suddenly realized that Tu Shanqing had said she would come to find him.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Tu Shanqing shouldn't act so aggressively.

And isn't Tu Shanqing a golden retriever?

Bai Miao was a little unsure about this; who knew if her human form and her animal form had the same fur color?

Bai Miao also has a way to verify this.

The art of observing qi and finding a path.

As a nine-tailed fox, Tu Shanqing's aura and color are naturally different from ordinary people, but it's uncertain whether it's enough to stand out in front of the entire city.

At the same time, in order to confirm whether it was his skill level that was insufficient, or whether the white fox was not Tu Shanqing at all, Bai Miao took out the Dragon-Seeking Compass that was almost moldy.

This thing was originally a trophy that Bai Miao took from the thief Fang Kuai 10 of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Its purpose is to locate dragon veins.

To activate the power of the Heavenly Dao Fragment, one must master the Dragon Vein.

Tu Shanqing has fragments of Fengrang on her body, and may even have fragments of time.

To be able to harness the power of both, she must also possess a dragon vein.

After the dragon-finding compass was taken out, the pointer on it started spinning erratically, indicating that dragon veins existed in several directions.

These dragon veins are not only possessed by people like Bai Miao who overcame the Qingqiu Rebellion, but also existed in the world originally.

Although the Dragon-Seeking Compass was spinning randomly, Bai Miao could still use it to help him locate himself using his navigation skills.

To find a better view, Bai Miao went out and found the tallest building in the vicinity. He went to the rooftop and used his Qi Observation Technique to observe the entire city.

The city was shrouded in rain, with colorful air currents appearing. Bai Miao looked up according to the location given by the navigation and saw that the air was somewhat disordered about ten kilometers away.

An atmosphere filled with death, hunger, and sorrow.

It also shows signs of damage.

"Oh no, it really is her."

Bai Miao never expected that Tu Shanqing had gotten herself into this state.

What was originally a fertile land, a fragment of the Heavenly Dao that would satisfy hunger, has now transformed into another form that causes hunger and self-eating.

Bai Miao decided to capture Tu Shanqing before things got out of control.

"Let's go to the university town."

Bai Miao hailed a taxi and rushed to his location without stopping.

"Young man, did you know someone died recently in the university town? You're a student there, right?"

"I haven't heard anything about it. What happened to Master?"

"Sigh, they say two girls were stabbed to death, probably a crime of passion."

"I don't know that either."

The taxi driver's information sources were indeed quite extensive, and Bai Miao suspected that the two men might be the victims.

Ten kilometers is roughly the straight-line distance, but due to the rain and traffic jams, it took Bai Miao almost an hour to reach the vicinity of the area he had sensed earlier.

The direction indicated by the navigation prompts kept changing, and Tu Shanqing did not stay in one place. Instead, she would stay in one place for a few minutes and then immediately change her location.

It's as if she's also searching for something.

Bai Miao stopped in his tracks, took out the fragments of Fengrang, and patiently waited in the alley while holding an umbrella.

Tu Shanqing's senses were indeed getting closer and closer, and at the same time, Bai Miao also heard a lot of chaotic footsteps coming from the rain.

One person, two people, three people...

There were five people following behind Tu Shanqing.

Bai Miao saw a snow-white fox dart out from the end of the alley, its fur remaining completely untouched by the wet ground.

Behind the fox, several people followed cautiously, only daring to observe from a distance and not daring to get too close.

When they met Bai Miao's gaze, they were both somewhat puzzled.

Bai Miao knew two of these five people.

One is Shan Chengtian, and the other is Hu Muyao.

Officials.

They seem to have found it too, and their efficiency is not much worse than Bai Miao's.

When the white fox approached, Bai Miao felt only a moment of sympathy, which quickly vanished.

The white fox ran behind Bai Miao, then suddenly stopped, as if it had found its home, and curled up at Bai Miao's feet, motionless.

Dan Chengtian dared not disturb Bai Hu and communicated with Bai Miao on the Knocker Network.

"How did you get back here? Don't panic, don't move around. We'll figure out a way to catch you."

"And how did you find it?"

"One of the people knocking on the door happened to be a college student from around here. We've been looking for him for a long time, so it was just a coincidence that we ran into him. He's a real character, you know him, right?"

"Oh...I know him."

Another teammate from the Qingqiu Rebellion was in the same school as Wang Xiang, except he was a student.

"Why don't you let me handle this? I might know where this fox came from."

Shan Chengtian was somewhat surprised: "You know? Then why is it like this?"

"I don't know. Why don't you retreat first? If a fight breaks out, this place might not be safe either."

Hu Muyao glanced at Bai Miao, then at the fox that was dozing off beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

Of course, she knew that her captain, Shan Chengtian, was currently talking to Bai Miao, so she didn't interrupt.

Shan Chengtian did not immediately agree to Bai Miao's request.

He was asked to bring back live specimens, hoping to glean some insights from them.

This is a creature with special attributes.

"Well... I'm afraid I need to consult my superiors."

"It's alright, you ask first, I'll keep this fox calm."

Bai Miao crouched down, looked at the white fox with its eyes half-closed, and softly called out, "Tu Shanqing?"
