Chapter 186 - Cyan Fox (2/2)

Lin’s heart gets soft. She holds the fox up in her arms and comforts it, “I’ll take the sealwort. What do you need me to do?” Lin puts the sealwort into her s.p.a.ce and uses a flash of green light to cover the fox’s injured foot.

This is only a flesh wound. There is no need to cast the “Healing Spell”. All Lin needs to do is to use some wood Reiki to stop the bleeding and cure the wound gradually.

“Go ahead. What do you need me to help you with?”

The fox buries itself deeper into Lin’s arms. It points to one of the tunnels. Lin Luoran holds the fox tightly and walks quickly towards the tunnel.

The fox seems to be worn out, yet it forces itself to stay awake. Lin has no idea what the fox has gone through and what makes it seek help from a human. However, the fox is highly intelligent because the sealworts it brings for her get better every time. Besides, the fox is expressive and it can understand Lin’s words. Lin Luoran wonders what kind of fox it is.

The fox must have got hurt when it went to look for the sealwort for the third time… Lin would help it before if she had knew it would get hurt. Though Lin is fully aware that she should not be so softhearted, she can’t just stand by and ignore the pitiful fox.

Lin has been walking fast. After several turns, the fox jumps out of Lin’s arms and p.r.i.c.ks up its ears.

The fox walks on tiptoe and Lin holds her breath. There are many forks in the tunnel. Lin stays alerted. She walks ahead and sees an open cave. A bigger white fox is hanging in the mid-air in the cave. Its paws are s.h.i.+vering. It is still alive.

Does the cyan little fox lead her here to save the white fox?

Lin Luoran looks down. The cyan fox is pointing at the white fox anxiously.

It should not be impossible for the cyan fox to jump up and save the white fox by itself… Is there any other reason? A flash of golden light rushes out of Lin’s fingertip. The vines around the white fox are broken. The white fox falls into Lin’s arms.

The cyan little fox is thrilled. It runs to the white fox and pats it on the back.

Suddenly, a huge web falls from the ceiling and caps Lin and the two foxes.

Many creatures with long tails run into the cave. They are the gophers Lin came across before.

Creatures living underground are indeed strange. There are highly-intelligent foxes and gophers who can set up traps. Lin Luoran holds both of the foxes in her arms and looks at the gophers. The gophers seem to be so glad. Lin can’t figure out what they want.

A huge gopher in the size of a leopard walks into the cave with a group of gophers. Its whiskers have turned gray. It stares at the foxes in Lin’s arms and can’t hide its disgust.

Lin Luoran immediately understands the situation. These two foxes must be the enemies of the gophers. The gophers managed to catch the white fox and they used it as a lure to catch the cyan one. When did gophers become so clever…? What advantage does human still have?

For example, this is such a s.h.i.+tty web… Lin looks at the s.h.i.+vering cyan little fox in her arms and fondles its head,

“Don’t be afraid. They are no match for me.”

The gophers grin ferociously.
