Yun Jinxiu's body paused for a moment, and then he walked forward.
Not far away, was a swamp. Amidst the deathly silence, Yun Jinxiu finally saw a living creature.
It was a small animal with four limbs. Due to the mud on its body, its original appearance could not be seen.
It struggled weakly in the quagmire, blood still flowing from its exposed leg.
Yun Jinxiu stood in place, slightly baffled.
It was a little fox …
Why would a little fox suddenly appear in this deathly silent place?
She suddenly felt a little panicked and quickly took a look at her surroundings. However, there was nothing in the quiet forest.
She wanted to turn away, but she made progress and turned back to watch the little thing wriggling miserably in the mud, sinking deeper and deeper.
It's just a fox...
Carrying it back and feeding it, even if he were to be extremely hungry to stew it, shouldn't it be sufficient for him to fill his stomach?
Yun Jinxiu was so stunned that the little thing finally sunk down, only revealing half of its little claws.
Yun Jinxiu gnashed his teeth, and just as it was about to sink in, he lifted it up.
It looked like it had been holding its breath, as it closed its eyes, barely able to breathe.
Yun Jinxiu had no choice but to place it on the ground and examine its heart. It was still beating, obviously, it was just holding it in.
She took out a pill and stuffed it into the little thing's mouth. Then, she took out a cloth and wiped off the mud on its body.
It was thin, as if it had been starved for a long time.
It was also very weak, probably because it had lost too much blood.
Yun Jinxiu used the spirit spring water to wash its wounds clean, but discovered that its fur was slightly red. She inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief, found some ointment to apply, and then applied it with a clean cloth strip.
Only then did the little fox faintly open its eyes. It then intimately snuggled closer to her bosom.
She felt slightly helpless hugging such a small thing when the dirty mud touched Yun Jinxiu's body, but the bottom of her heart was filled with indescribable pain.
When she met him, his three souls might disperse, but they were still complete. If she had searched for the fragments of the Soul Lamp, or learned of the existence of the curse, wouldn't that have been another day?
It was a pity that there were no 'ifs' in this world.
Yun Jinxiu lowered her eyes. Although the water source was precious, she still took some of it and washed the sludge off carefully. Then, a red fox appeared in front of her …
It was just that the color of its fur was a bit mixed, and its color was deep and shallow. It was very inconsistent, making it look very ugly.
Yun Jinxiu, however, felt at ease. Looking at the sky which was getting late, he picked it up casually and walked forward.
The little fox must have been frightened and injured, so it buried its head in her chest and fell into a deep sleep.
At the place, the dog began to bark again.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was about to darken. Faintly, a dangerous aura was approaching.
Yun Jinxiu quickened his pace, and when he returned to the entrance of the courtyard, there were already several figures standing there.
Each and every one of those figures was as strong as a tiger, and their imposing manner was astonishing to behold.
She slightly narrowed her eyes, concealing all of her presence, and lightly landed on a large tree not far away.
The moon climbed up in the sky and the pale moonlight scattered down.
Under the moonlight, Yun Jinxiu could clearly see the figures.
It wasn't a human, but an apeman. On his ferocious face were pairs of vicious eyes staring at the yard.
The rookies in the courtyard who could not find the thatched cottage all cried out in alarm as they retreated in panic.
Yun Jinxiu frowned slightly. The auras of the Apemen were extremely terrifying, and the most terrifying thing about these Apemen was that they did not look very old.
The strange thing was, as she stood outside the courtyard, she felt that inside the large forest, the courtyard was more like a cage.
If she was not mistaken, Wuliang had once said that the Jiuzhou Academy's search for talents in the Nine Prefectures was to form a core force to deal with the danger of the laws shattering. But why did she have to use such a cruel method to choose?
One must know that even though these new disciples were not top-notch geniuses, they were definitely not ordinary people. Why not all of them stay and train together?
The dog's barks became louder and louder, its voice was shrill and shrill, completely unlike its usual rhythm.
An idea came to Yun Jinxiu's mind, causing him to be shocked. Could it be that these Apemen were not summoned by the dog?
Roar ~ ~
One of the Apemen roared at the dog, the sound rolling off, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, even though Yun Jinxiu was extremely far away, he could still feel the wind piercing his skin, it was extremely painful.
The little fox, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to be woken up from its slumber. It slightly lifted its eyelids, and when it saw Yun Jinxiu, it strongly squeezed into her embrace once more.
Ah!" It was the Apeman! It's the Apeman!
The rookies in the yard screamed. The dog roared, but was sent flying by one of the Apemen's punch.
The dog let out a wail, and with a "bang", it crashed onto a huge tree, causing blood and flesh to spurt out.
The apeman stepped into the courtyard, stepping on top of a mud hut.
The originally indestructible mud house was actually crushed by the ape man's foot.
What was originally the safest room, became a cage for the geniuses!
Yun Jinxiu's heart sank, and a spiritual consciousness suddenly swept towards the thatched cottage where Jun Qingchen and the others were.
The apeman outside the door suddenly sensed something, and suddenly looked towards Yun Jinxiu's direction. However, he did not discover anything strange, and turned his head back.
Yun Jinxiu hid behind a tree and his breathing was slightly heavy.
She recalled that when they were in Falling Capital, Gong Liche and the others had caught a gigantic Ape Demon. Although these Apemen were not as terrifying as the Ape Demon, their acute perception had already reached an extremely terrifying level.
The little fox felt a bit sticky. It felt her slightly loosen its grip and immediately stretched out its claws to hug her neck.
Yun Jinxiu thought that it was acting spoiled after getting injured, and did not put its thoughts on it. Instead, he stuck close to the tree trunk, tilted his head, and looked towards the courtyard.
Everyone rushed out of the thatched cottage, Jun Qingchen and Chu Mengxun also appeared in the courtyard. However, their expressions were slightly gloomy, and their eyes were looking in every direction, as if they were looking for her.
The apeman let out a few roars and then pounced towards the yard.
Three of them directly pounced towards Jun Qingchen and Chu Mengxun. The cold light in Yun Jinxiu's eyes deepened and he was just about to rush forward, but in the next instant, he suddenly stopped.
Several figures rushed over from the distance, and a terrifying giant palm suddenly appeared above the courtyard.
The ape people that were wreaking havoc in the courtyard suddenly emitted a shrill cry, then they leaped out and fled into the distance.
The frightened rookies were suddenly saved and could not help but cheer in surprise. There were also girls with weak endurance, who began crying loudly.
Yun Jinxiu's face turned ugly, although the situation was urgent, she had seen that the Apemen were rushing towards Jun Qingchen and Chu Mengxun.
They had just arrived at Jiuzhou Island, how could they have angered these Apemen?
