Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person

Chapter 87: He accepted the feeding, so he's my big son now!

The monkeys gathered in the tree, squeaking and gesturing wildly. Chen Ruoan, relying on his advanced "communicative language" and body language, could roughly guess what the monkeys were saying.

Snapped!

A bloody mess was thrown in front of the fox, and the lead monkey raised its hands in response, indicating that it was time to entertain the uninvited guest.

Chen Ruoan sniffed with the tip of his nose and smelled a strong, sweet, and fishy scent. This smell was fatally attractive to the newly acquired elf, as it came from human blood.

Of course, foxes nowadays are able to calmly accept food.

Chen Ruoan licked his lips and asked, "How long have you been eating this?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"There were no wild fruits in the mountains, and they dared not touch living people, so they attacked corpses, eating their flesh and blood?"

"Squeak squeak squeak".

"I see."

The flesh in front of Chen Ruoan's paws was fresh and bloody, and could not have come from a corpse. These monkeys are lying.

Are there no native populations in the Songshan area? It's already strange enough that a group of monkeys would take over the mountain as kings, but now it seems that something must have gathered the monkeys together to train them to do things.

To make a bolder guess, the Monkey King is about to accomplish a grand undertaking of establishing his own school of thought.

The elf taught the ordinary monkeys how to cultivate themselves, and the monkeys thought it would become a wise king, but the method of cultivation was completely wrong.

Those who eat people have impure qi, and in the end, these monkeys will degenerate into cruel and inhuman beasts.

Chen Ruoan opened his mouth, emitting his aura, and attempted to communicate more deeply with the monkey using his Qi.

After some questioning, it was learned that the Monkey King was cautious and cunning, and rarely showed himself except when he came down the mountain to hunt lost people.

Its activity range is limited to the "Yuhuanggou" on the east side of Shaoshi Mountain. The valley is dark and winding, with crisscrossing mountain paths and fog that never dissipates. It is a forbidden primeval forest that no strangers are allowed to enter.

"A spirit that is good at escaping is not afraid of its speed, but it is afraid of awakening its innate ability to escape."

""

If you can't kill it the first time, it will be difficult the next time.

Chen Ruoan thought to himself that after eating the egg that made the fox "call for its mother," he seemed to have developed a sense of awe towards the supernatural powers of some elves.

After realizing that they are being fed, they will deeply feel maternal love; this ability is truly amazing.

"Your power is just beginning, and it's time to make use of monkeys. Why don't you go and inform them that there are foxes who want to cooperate in plotting something?"

Chen Ruoan said to the two men who showed signs of success.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Two monkeys leaped and bounded among the branches, running towards the east side of the mountain.

Half an hour later, the Monkey King's order came back, and the fox was granted permission to enter Jade Emperor Valley.

Turning east, the forest was shrouded in mist, and as they ventured deeper, the soil beneath the fox's paws became increasingly sticky and damp.

A strange stench of sourness and blood filled the ditch, and piles of leftover bones lay scattered among the bushes.

The Monkey King did not appear; his hoarse voice faded from the mist.

"Which mountain's fox are you from?"

"Longhu Mountain," Chen Ruoan replied.

"Longhu Mountain?" The Monkey King, having come from the Taihang Mountains, was unfamiliar with the terrain of Longhu Mountain and asked again, "Why did you come here?"

"The elves are being squeezed, and their living space is gradually being compressed. If we don't stick together for warmth, we will perish sooner or later."

As Chen Ruoan replied, Jin Tong peered into the mist, but all he could see were shadowy figures, and he couldn't make out any clear shapes.

The monkey king pondered for a moment, then sent two monkeys to carry over a man whose leg had been injured. He was tied to a thick tree trunk, and his mouth was wrapped with several loops of thorny vines.

"Since you have come from afar, we naturally cannot neglect you."

"Here, have some! This will be a good opportunity to prove whether you, fox, are a treacherous spirit sent by a sorcerer."

The fox opened its sharp snout, bit the frantically struggling man, swung him high into the air, and swallowed him whole. In the end, it only spat out a few pieces of wood chips and some vines.

"Strange. We both eat people, so why is your fox body so pure?"

"That is naturally..." Chen Ruoan was about to explain when he remembered the dry food hidden in his stomach and had a wicked idea. "I have a few phoenix spirit eggs here, which can allow me to enjoy my taste buds without being contaminated by the turbid air."

"Oh?"

"Brother Monkey, would you perhaps like to give it a try?"

"If you are willing to make the painful decision, then let my children try it first."

Chen Ruoan opened his mouth and exhaled mist, and several white jade eggs rolled onto the grass. Immediately, a monkey ran over and stuffed them into its mouth, shell and all.

A cool and refreshing sensation swept over the monkey's body, causing it to let out a soft moan.

"Do you feel refreshed after eating my food?"

"Squeak squeak squeak." The monkey nodded in agreement, a feeling of goodwill towards the fox quietly growing within it.

"very good."

The Monkey King continued to test him, and only after his doubts were dispelled did he part the mist in front of him to reveal his true face.

It is nearly three times larger than a typical macaque, with broad shoulders and back, muscular arms, and a mane like steel needles on the back of its neck.

Because of its advanced age, its ruddy face was wrinkled, its eyes were sunken, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

"Brother Fox, distinguished guest, distinguished guest indeed!"

The old macaque wanted to pat the fox on the shoulder, but the fox was so small that it would probably kill it with one slap, so it had to give up.

"I must thank Brother Monkey for the delicious feast he prepared."

"What's with the formalities! You mere humans, having only taken one more step than us, dare to call yourselves the most intelligent of all beings?"

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more and give to those who have less. Since I attained enlightenment, I have been pondering a question: why is it that only humans cannot be killed and eaten? We are simply following our own nature now."

Chen Ruoan smiled in agreement, stealing a glance at the forest outside. The figures moving through the dense woods had not yet disappeared, and each figure wore the exact same mark.

I understand now. The monkey hair clone that can mimic the movement of one's own Qi, combined with agile and nimble movements, can indeed allow one to escape freely in the complex terrain of the mountains and fields.

The distance was too great for the fox's golden eyes to detect.

But one thing is certain: the little phoenix's egg will definitely fall into the belly of the original body.

The pheasant's magic lies in its eggs, not in itself. Once it realizes it has accepted being fed, the old pheasant will become the fox's good son.

The old macaque stared at the eggs on the ground, nodding repeatedly: "Brother Fox, you're truly fortunate to have this opportunity to purify your soul. The more violent and addicted we become to flesh and blood, the more we grow. I wonder how you obtained these spiritual eggs, brother?"

"Brother Monkey, don't forget, I am a fox."

"Oh dear!" The old macaque slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten that the fox was an expert at stealing bird eggs.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The old macaque did not consume the egg on the spot; instead, it carefully hid it away as if it had found a treasure.

This reaction was exactly what the fox had anticipated, because the old monkey in front of him was also a clone.

"Come, brother, this way please. Stay here for the night. My little ones are at your disposal. Don't underestimate them just because some of them are no good yet; they can understand a little bit of human language."

Chen Ruoan glanced at the monkeys in the forest: "Although Brother Monkey dislikes humans, he adopts the cultivation methods of extraordinary people."

"Hmph, it's because my monkey race has no decent lineage to leave behind. What are these so-called Great Sage Danxia, ​​Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and Monkey King God? They're all just empty names. So I'll have to pave the way."

This dilemma is similar to that of the fox.

"You're going to teach all of these monkeys?"

"Of course, compared to the idea that 'education should not be passed on to anyone but the most accomplished,' I agree more with the principle of 'education for all.'"

Ok?

The fox tilted its head and looked to the side. Could it be that an old fox was also going to do something like the old horse's "new cut"?

If the fox remembers correctly, the Jie Sect's fate seems to have been quite tragic.
