Chapter 44 The existence of the blue-eyed fox

This humming sound, which had just started, only lasted a few seconds before it died down. We looked at each other, a little confused as to what was going on and what it meant.

The only thing I could think of was what Ru Xue had said鈥攂lack worms, but where were the black worms?

Chengxin quickly put away the animal skin scroll and said to me, “Chengyi, let’s not study here. Don’t you think we’ve overlooked a very serious problem? Is there no way out here? The sound just now reminded me that it seemed to come from somewhere. There should be a secret door here.

A secret door? I only just remembered this question at this time, while Brother Chengxin had already walked to the source of the sound and started knocking and banging!

We also realized what was going on and quickly went to help Chengxin find the secret door. We carefully knocked on the same place, and an echo came from behind the wall. It was obvious that there was definitely space behind it, and it might be our way out.

“I just don’t think this carving is right,” said Wu Laogui, who was busy looking around.

Our eyes focused on the past, and we discovered that the carving that Wu Lao Gui had mentioned was on the other side. It was really very wrong. The entire style of this stone room was gorgeous and beautiful, but the carving was like a child’s half-carved, worse than a simple sketch, a crooked little fox, and it was very smooth.

Chengxin immediately became excited and shouted, “Old Wu, you’ve done a great job this time!” Then he rushed over and started to fiddle with the protruding carving. It was obvious that the carving could be moved, but it was not clear whether it was because of the passage of time. Chengxin had to make a great effort to push it a little, and I and Old Zhang quickly went to help.

Wu Laogui floated leisurely and said, “This can’t be compared. This fox demon has so much strength that the three of you are not enough to see.”

Cheng Xin Ge, with a red face, shouted, “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll make you a coolie.”

As soon as Cheng Xin said that, the three of us also pushed the mechanism, which slid past. At this moment, the entire stone chamber rang with the sound of the mechanism. In the northeast corner where we had just hit, a small wall slid sideways, revealing a secret door.

Lao Zhang panted, looked at the secret door, and said to me, “Chengyi, don’t comfort me. I always feel that after going through this door, I will definitely see something incredible.”

When Zhang said this, he was very calm, but I didn’t respond. It seems that one thing after another has slowly overwhelmed his mind. At the same time, I was also very surprised. Does even Zhang have this feeling?

Yes, the moment the door opened, I clearly sensed that there was something extraordinary in the room!

What was it? I couldn’t guess. Maybe it was those bugs?

When I thought of the bugs, I subconsciously glanced at Ruixue. Because of all the things that happened on the road, I could tell even if I was stupid that Ruixue was there, so the bugs probably didn’t pose a threat to us.

But I didn’t expect to see Ruoxue gently biting her lower lip. It seemed like she was struggling at that moment, but soon her eyes became calm and resolute. Was I wrong? Where did this emotion come from?

But when I looked again, Ruoxue was still the same calm Ruoxue. At least, I couldn’t see any fluctuations in her emotions on the surface. Was I too nervous? Had I become so paranoid that I was seeing enemies in every bush and tree? I tried to relax my mind.

At this time, Chengxin brother put on his glasses and said, “Let’s go in?”

Just like life, no matter what lies ahead, we must continue to move forward. Our footsteps echoed in the empty stone chamber. I walked to the front of the group, whether intentionally or not, because if there was any danger, I should be in front of it.

The first thing I felt when I entered the secret door was a piercing cold. It wasn’t the cold of a ghost, but a pure coolness that made me feel refreshed, as if from the soul.

“This place… should have been a place where pure yin energy gathered in the past.” I thought to myself, but it can only be in the past. According to the current concentration, it is definitely not up to the level of the yin vein described in ancient books. Otherwise, in a hotter environment, frost flowers would grow here.

I have a feeling that Chengxin and Ruoxue also have a feeling. After all, they are both “knowledgeable,” and I am more and more certain that if the blue-eyed fox really exists, then this is its true place of cultivation.

Old Zhang felt nothing, but he felt cool. As for Wu Laogui, he was already comfortably “humming” out. After all, a place where yin energy gathers is the most nourishing for the soul.

The steps beneath my feet were downward, not long, just a dozen or so, and I could see a corner. It was bright here, not as dark as the substance, because the lamp here was really always on, so I saw that the steps were also extravagant, made of white jade, and very finely carved.

I’m too lazy to pay attention to these details. As long as you’re a cultivator, you know that jade is very good for cultivation, because it can store magnetic fields and energy!

I just feel that this fox is really rich!

The dozen or so steps were quickly completed, and at the end of the corridor was a small hallway, only three or four meters long, with various ornate clothing and accessories carved on it. I can understand this as the fox’s alternative hobby?

But this also makes me more curious about this place of cultivation!

At the end of the corridor was a small door, just big enough for one person to pass through. Behind the door was a warm yellow light, which made me feel a little relieved. I quickly walked over and was the first to enter the door, but after just one glance, I was horrified and took two steps back, exiting the door.

At that moment, I thought I was hallucinating. It was so unreal. To make sure it wasn’t a hallucination, I subconsciously took another look. No, it was real. It really existed.

After I came out, the first thing I did was to grab Zhang. I don’t know why I did it, but I just wanted to make sure Zhang didn’t see it. But at that moment, Zhang was shaking all over. He was standing behind the door, and it was bright inside the door. My exaggerated reaction made him curious and he took a look inside the door!

So, Lao Zhang saw everything, so it was normal for him to be shaking!

At this time, not only Lao Zhang, but also Chengxin, Ruoxue, and Wu Laogui were all shocked to the extreme, and they didn’t say or move anything, just staring in shock.

Yes, this is really there. I let go of Zhang and looked at the door again. A huge white fox, larger than a normal tiger, was lying inside the door. It had its eyes closed, as if it was just sleeping peacefully! It seemed like it could wake up at any moment!

Faced with the existence of such a creature, we dared not move. It was not the pressure of its size that brought us to our knees, but the intangible aura that seemed to suffocate us.

Almost subconsciously, Lao Zhang took off the shotgun on his back, his hands trembling, his mouth quivering, and he muttered, “Blue-eyed fox, with your eyes closed, I know you are a blue-eyed fox!”

“Lao Zhang,” Ru Xue pressed Lao Zhang’s hand and shook her head, saying, “This fox is already dead, it’s been dead for a long time.”

How could it not decay if it was dead? I walked into the cave, which I assumed was a cave, with doubts. The small natural underground cave, with the presence of stalactites, was exceptionally beautiful under the light of the eternal flame.

The white fox was also very beautiful. Putting aside its terrifying aura, it was really beautiful. Its white hair actually still radiated a light that was full of brilliance!

Is it dead? How did it die? Did it die here? I kept thinking about the first picture in the ancient scroll of animal skins, where a little fox was born in the forest, and it had reached such a level, but it still died?

This is a typical sorrow that only a cultivator would experience. I was a little crazy.

But at this moment, Ru Xue said calmly, “Chengyi, don’t go any closer. If you get any closer, you’ll be in danger.”

“What danger?” I turned my head and looked at Ru Xue, but my thoughts were not too clear, and I only asked instinctively.

Ru Xue didn’t say anything, but Wu Lao Gui did: “The fox is moving, it’s moving!”

It moved? I turned my head sharply and saw that the eyes of this huge blue-eyed fox opened at once. They were really blue!
