C79 (1/2)

The country of Chen is close to the Di, but the country of Chen is much bigger than the country of Di. The country of Chen has 33 big cities, and they are big enough to allow me to fly for a few days straight. As for the country of Di, there are 25 big cities, the biggest one is only smaller in the country of Chen, and the country of Chen is much more prosperous compared to the country of Di.

Feiyi City is almost at the border of Chen, only one city away. From Feiyi City, I traveled all the way through the mountains and mountains. It would take me at least a few months to reach it.

Outside the city, there were a lot of barren hills and villages. Although I had left the country for a few days, I was already exhausted. I saw that there were some wine houses in the villages below, so I fell down.

The village is at the foot of the mountain. I was afraid of disturbing the mortals, so I came down from the mountain and ordered two jugs of wine and a plate of food and wine. When Ah Hu taught me to drink wine, I felt that the wine was rather unpleasant, but now I feel that the spicy taste is a bit addictive.

Even though wine isn't good wine, but in a barren land like this, I will be fine.

”Waiter, is there an inn nearby?”

”Yo, customer, you want to settle in this time?”

When I saw the surprised look on the waiter's face, I couldn't help but be curious.

”Yes, why?”

The waiter's expression changed slightly as he came forward and whispered, ”I advise you to hurry. Do not spend the night here.”

”Why?”

The waiter looked around and after confirming that there was no one else, he sat down on the side and said solemnly: ”Sir, you may not know this place is called Sand River Village. It was originally quiet and peaceful, but a few years ago, something strange happened.”

”What's so strange about that?” Hearing the waiter's words, I became a bit interested.

”A few years ago, a travelling merchant came and bought some equipment and hunted down in the mountains after losing money. Hunting was a normal thing, but I didn't expect that there would be a problem with the prey this time.”

”There's something wrong with the prey. What's the problem?”

”Our Sand River Village does not worship the land, but rather the fox god. We did not expect that the travelling merchant would beat a fox in the mountains! This was offending the might of the Fox God. The merchant skinned the fox, preparing to sell it in the city early the next morning to earn back the capital for his business. However, when he went to sleep in the middle of the night, the God of Fox appeared to avenge the dead fox and bit the merchant to death! The villagers did not dare to go and watch. When the day came, they found a few sturdy young men and gathered their courage to go and check, only to find that the merchant's bloody skin was stuck to the wall, and only his bones were left, his flesh was completely eaten! ”

”There is such a thing!” ”Then what does it have to do with me staying the night here?”

The waiter slapped the table and shook his head: ”I thought we offended the fox god, so I kowtowed to him for a few days straight. That fox god did not hurt any more, but to us villagers, every time we passed by a place, as long as we stayed the night, we would let out a scream in the middle of the night, and we would be skinned alive by the fox god. It must be that fox god because he thinks that the people who stayed in the place are not good people.

”Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you for reminding me, Second Brother.”

”What are you thanking me for? Please leave as soon as possible. There's a small town fifty li ahead of us. There's an inn there.”

”En, thank you second brother. However, I still want to stay here. Can you tell me where I can stay?”

”You!” The waiter was immediately angered, ”You, this guest, do not know what's good for you, I will not hesitate, you will just stay and die, all these years, many people like you who don't believe in the fox god have died here, if you want to die then go to that abandoned thatched cottage at the village entrance, hmph, I can't care about you anymore.”

I found it funny to see the waiter turning around and busying himself, but he was also a kind-hearted person. After leaving behind a silver ingot, he got up and left.

In this Sand River Village, there is a faint demonic aura covering the area. I only came here to drink because I saw this demonic aura. I wonder, which demon is this? Could it really be a fox demon?

The thatched cottage at the head of the village was simple and crude. There was a wooden bed within it, but there was no mat on top of it. There was only a wooden plank. With a wave of my hand, the wooden board became clean. I sat cross-legged on it. After thinking for a while, I lay down on my back and closed my eyes to take a nap.

Not long later, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard. However, it wasn't demonic qi.

”Hey, you really stayed the night here!” So it was that waiter. Relax, he came to take a look.

”Hehe, don't worry, second brother. I've learned some martial arts. Ordinary demons will not be able to harm me.”

The waiter, seeing my confidence, knew that he couldn't persuade me. He sighed, shook his head, and left, leaving behind a small jar of wine. He said that it would be better to drink before he died.

Putting away the wine, I continued to pretend to be asleep. After a while, it was already night. The crickets and the crickets all around me were clamoring and chirping, but there was a bit of noise. The racket suddenly stopped, and a peculiar atmosphere gradually spread.

The demon's footsteps were extremely light. If it weren't for the Breath Seeking Technique concentrating on the two of them, it wouldn't have been heard at all. While I was dozing off, the demon would still be cautious, using the wind to probe the demon. Seeing that I was still unconscious, it calmed down and stuck its head in front of me.

”Ya!”

A huge white fox head flashed in front of me and I was stunned. Why did the demon shriek in fright before turning around to flee? After hearing its crisp voice, I realised that it was actually a female demon!

This white fox's speed is extremely fast. If I hadn't comprehended Feng Yuan, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to catch up. However, after several hours of chasing, that fox demon was finally caught by me.

Seeing me floating in the air, the fox demon was scared to the point that he was trembling. He lied down on the ground and didn't dare to move. The pleading look in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

”You're the one that harmed the guests that stayed in Shahe Village?”

”Little, this little demon doesn't dare. Great deity, please spare my life …”

Looking at her terrified expression, I also felt puzzled. Given how timid this little demon is, it doesn't look like she can do such a savage thing.

”You don't have to be afraid. Tell me, who killed those people?”

”Yes, it's that jackal monster. I only sucked in a little bit of life and didn't dare to kill. I hope that great deity can let me go and I will repay you for what you have done.”

”Oh? The wolf demon jackal? ”
