Chapter 102 Sly Fox

  The name of Qing Zhu Yuan mainly comes from the green bamboo in the courtyard, which is lush and makes a rustling sound when the wind blows. The other courtyard is not small, with a front yard, back yard, kitchen, and a very quiet environment, plus the dense spiritual energy, this Qing Zhu Yuan gives Li Mang a pretty good feeling.

  "I can handle it myself, you go ahead and get busy!" Li Meng instructed the child who was about to start cleaning, he wasn't used to or liked being taken care of in such a way, doing things himself would make him feel more at ease, and he could also take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the environment and layout of the other courtyard.

  "Yes, Young Master Li." The child didn't press the issue and bowed his head to leave. They had been trained from a young age in serving others and knew the various temperaments of these cultivators.

  Actually, Qingzhuyuan had been swept clean, and Li Mang only needed to take out the brand new household items from the cabinet and put them in order. It was clear that someone had prepared ahead of time, and nothing was lacking, everything was complete, and with little effort, Li Mang had tidied up.

  Then he asked the child to bring food, filled the refrigerator, and personally made a fairly sumptuous "moving feast", and had a big meal.

  At night, Li Meng entered the Shan Hai Jing space and left Zhaoyao Mountain for the first time after his recovery to continue his adventure journey. This time he was going to break through the eighth mountain, Qingqiu Mountain.

  Riding the crystal dragon, he soon arrived at Qingqiu Mountain. The mountain is not big, but very high, with a height of over 100 meters from bottom to top, looking steep, this is the highest mountain peak he has encountered in the Shan Hai Jing space so far. Various other shrubs grow in the mountains, and there are some unknown wild fruits, you can see the lively footprints of wild birds and pheasants.

  "Jing Long, let's go down!" Li Meng signaled to the Jing Long under him. Then one man and one jiao descended from mid-air and landed at the middle of Qing Qiu Mountain.

  "Hmm..."

  Just as he had just floated down from the air. A white shadow suddenly came towards him in the bushes, like a long whip.

  Before Li Meng could make a move, Jing Long, who had descended from the air, swept his tail past him - "Bang!"

  Jing Long took a slight step back, and the white shadow quickly withdrew. Immediately, the shrubbery emitted rustling sounds, apparently this thing wanted to escape.

  "Where is he going?"

  Li Mang stepped on the ground and his feet left the ground flying out, finally seeing a fluffy animal escaping quickly in front of him.

  "Nine-tailed fox!" Li Mang exclaimed. This white, fluffy creature was indeed a fox. Its appearance wasn't much different from an ordinary fox, but it had nine tails, looking very cute and adorable.

  However, the fox was not a benevolent creature, but a synonym for cunning and treachery, reminiscent of the previous sneak attack. Li Meng naturally wouldn't show mercy, holding the yellow long sword to swiftly stab over.

  "Hiss..." The nine-tailed fox sensed danger and immediately turned around, baring its teeth at Li Meng, revealing its ferocity.

  "Brush brush......"

  Suddenly, three fox tails were seen to move quickly, soon becoming a four or five meter long white furry whip. Like a spirit snake, it darted towards Li Mang.

  "It can actually transform!" Li Mang was shocked. The Black Turtle was also a spiritual beast, but it didn't have any special skills. The same went for the other beasts like the Qiong Qi and Xiang Liu. This nine-tailed fox was the first creature he had encountered in the Shan Hai Jing space that possessed a special skill.

  Just as the fox's tail was about to reach him, Li Mang swung his sword and chopped it off with a "swish".

  However, these tails were flexible. Li Mang chopped at them but missed, and was instead forced to retreat repeatedly. The Crystal Dragon beside him simply watched without intervening, as Li Mang had not called out to it, and it naturally did not intend to lend a hand unless Li Mang encountered danger like earlier.

  The man and the fox exchanged a dozen or so moves, but still maintained a stalemate.

  "Squeak!"

  Li Mang was anxious and depressed, the nine-tailed fox was even more furious. This human wasn't afraid of it, but rather feared the giant python beside him. Seeing that he couldn't break through after such a long time, the nine-tailed fox gnashed its teeth and danced with its claws several times before finally using its remaining six tails to launch a fierce attack. The nine tails took turns attacking, ultimately leaving Li Mang unable to cope, his hands and feet moving wildly in all directions.

  "Jing Long, what are you still standing there for! Hurry up and help!" Seeing that he couldn't win the fight, Jing Long was still unmoved, causing Li Meng to curse in anger.

  "Roar......" Jing Long let out a wronged cry, wasn't it just about to make its move? At the same time, its scaly tail flew up from the ground, forming an arc as it whipped towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.

  "Hiss!" The nine-tailed fox was naturally timid, and upon seeing Jing Long join in, it became extremely tense. Very abruptly, it withdrew all its tails and turned to flee before Jing Long's attack even arrived, its movements swift and decisive, leaving onlookers in stitches.

  "Bang!" Jing Long's tail swept through the bushes, gazing at the nine-tailed fox that had already escaped far away. Suddenly, Jing Long felt a strange sensation: his sharp teeth itched...

  "Don't just stand there, catch it and make a fox stew!" Li Meng took the lead with his knife and chased after it. This was a nine-tailed fox, which was extremely valuable even if it wasn't a pure breed. Moreover, although fox meat didn't taste very good, if eating it could grant skills like having three heads and six arms, that would be quite impressive.

  The nine-tailed fox jumped and fled forward, very agile. With its extremely familiarity with the environment in this area, the crystal dragon and Li Meng were unable to catch up for a while, only tightly following behind without losing track.

  Even so, one person and one crocodile are enough to be ashamed of, and they unconsciously speed up their pursuit, gradually narrowing the distance by a lot.

  As mentioned earlier, Qingqiu Mountain is not big, but the speed of the two beasts and one person is extremely fast. In the escape and chase, they unknowingly left the range of Qingqiu Mountain and arrived at the last mountain of the Nan Shan Jing prime mountain system, Jilei Mountain.

  "Stop, Jing Long!" Li Mang suddenly remembered something and looked at the fox in front of him who kept looking back. He felt that he had fallen into its trap and hastily ordered Jing Long to stop, without explaining much, just saying "Retreat first!"

  When he finished speaking, Li Meng turned around and rushed back. Jing Long didn't know why his master suddenly wanted to give up catching the nine-tailed fox that was within sight, but after being stunned for a moment, he still followed Li Meng's order and turned around to return.

  "Rumble!"

  However, who would have thought that a sudden change occurred on the spot. A loud noise came from the void, and both space and earth were shaking. The crystal dragon didn't even have time to react before it was pressed down by an inexplicable energy in mid-air, its crystalline body heavily smashing onto the ground, already deeply embedded within.

  "...At this time, Li Meng had already returned to the intersection of Jiwei Mountain and Qingqiu Mountain. With just two more steps, he might have been able to shake off the danger. However, seeing that Jing Long was still behind him and possibly injured, he gritted his teeth and ultimately stayed."

  He gripped the long yellow blade tightly in his hand, and Li Mang looked around cautiously. If he wasn't mistaken, what was about to emerge would likely be the mountain god of the first column of mountains.
