"What happened?"
Tang Xin smelled something wrong.
Just a few days before she arrived, an incident of considerable consequence occurred in the camp of the Demon Slayer League.
A member of the Demon Slayer Alliance was poisoned and had to be sent back to the sect.
Since the poisoned person has been unconscious, no one knows why things turned out like this.
But according to people who are familiar with him, this guy has never left the camp, and he has done some research on poisonous insects and plants. It is almost impossible for him to be poisoned by accidental ingestion.
In other words, maybe someone in the camp secretly poisoned him...
This made the originally normal atmosphere suddenly become tense.
"No evidence found?"
Tang Xin asked.
"The elders have all helped, but they really can't find any clues," Tian Fang shook her head. "So you can see that many people stay in this tent when they have nothing to do, just to avoid becoming the object of suspicion..."
My goodness, the demon-hunting operation hasn’t even started yet, and there’s already a traitor in the team?
It is a consensus among everyone that such a large-scale operation cannot be stopped just because someone is poisoned.
"Alright, if you want to spy on each other, then do it," Yuan Shanba of Quanhe Sect stood up and said impatiently, "I'm not interested in playing with you anymore. See you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he left the tent.
"There is no evidence that someone deliberately poisoned us," said Liu Mei from Shansefang. "Even if someone did, this person's purpose is probably to alienate us. If we are on guard against each other like this, aren't we being fooled by the other party?"
Some people agreed with what she said, while others didn't care at all.
Maybe the person who is speaking now is the traitor?
[Limited time task has been triggered]
[Within five days, find one of the "Seven Stars" in the team.]
[Successful reward: Move "Meow Meow Fist". Failure consequence: Permanently lose the chance to trigger this "Seven Stars" survival ending]
Gan!
One of the Seven Stars is actually in this team!
I guessed that this time it couldn't be just an ordinary demon-killing mission!
[Tip: You must touch the other person's chest to confirm whether it is a seven-star.]
"..."
How can I, a decent person, have the breasts of all the people in the team? Even if all the male cultivators are excluded, there are still many female cultivators left!
Take a deep breath.
Well, if you want to get in touch with everyone in the team, you first need to establish an image in the team.
"I agree with Liu Mei's point of view," Tang Xin said, "Sitting in the tent like an idiot won't help solve this problem... How about this, everyone go back and think about it, and gather by the campfire in the evening, come up with your own ideas, and brainstorm?"
Although Tang Xin arrived late, her temperament was there, and she attracted attention as soon as she spoke.
She can be said to be one of the few people who is absolutely certain that she is not a suspect, so her words are naturally more credible than those of others.
"The opinion of the chief disciple of Xuanling Sect," Liu Mei frowned and stood up and said, "I think it is still trustworthy."
The tense atmosphere in the tent was somewhat relieved. Some monks stood up and left, no longer looking like they were ready to fight at any time.
"As expected of the Xuanling Sect's chief disciple," Tian Fang said, "you easily resolved the awkward atmosphere here."
"Can you give me a hug, then?"
Tang Xin asked bluntly.
"?"
Before Tian Fang understood what she meant by this sentence, the other party opened his arms and hugged her.
Tang Xin was very strong and held the two of them tightly together.
Normal size...ah, no, it means to eliminate suspicion.
"Uh……"
Before Tian Fang could come to her senses, Tang Xin casually loosened his arms, waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the tent with the little fox on his shoulder.
"Interesting," Liu Mei, who was watching all this, whispered, "There's another interesting person in the team this time..."
Chapter 56 Is this the cooperation between the master and the pet?
There were many tents in the camp. Tang Xin picked an unoccupied tent at random, hung his own name on it, and took a rest there.
If the poisoning is true, then this demon-eliminating operation is likely to be distorted.
Who would be hostile to such an action? Someone who has a grudge against a large sect, or an undercover agent of the magic sect? Or is it simply targeting that guy?
"Also, how do we find one of the seven stars..."
Not everyone is comfortable with physical contact with strangers, especially without a valid reason.
After all, people like Tian Fang who are easily fooled are a minority. She has heard that there are many "cold fairies" in the team.
This is a time-limited task, so we must hurry up and complete it...
"Little fox," Tang Xin took the pet off his shoulder and rubbed its head. "Have you pretended to sleep enough? Isn't it time to wake up?"
When Tang Xin obtained it from the spirit pet merchant, he had already completed the blood recognition process, so he knew its condition very well.
[Name: Sperm-sucking fox
Grade: First Grade (equivalent to Qi Refining Monk)
Attack power: 10 (basic level)
Defense: 5 (weak)
Mental strength: 7 (weak)
Special ability: High intelligence (much higher than the intelligence of first-level spiritual beasts)
Upgrade method: Absorb. Essence
Cultivation suggestion: Provide essence immediately to help it recover to a healthy state. 】
After hearing what its master said, the snow-white little fox reluctantly opened its eyelids and looked over with a pair of ruby eyes.
"Uuuuuu——"
While whimpering, he also put on a pitiful expression.
"Don't pretend, little guy," Tang Xin stroked its tail, "I know you can understand me... You should know that you are a demonic pet, right?"
The little fox suddenly became panicked.
"Logically speaking, if a demonic pet like you falls into the hands of a righteous cultivator, its fate is usually miserable," she said with a smile as she stroked it, "but I'm a good person, and I'm willing to give you a chance."
"Woo?"
The little fox showed a very human expression of "Really?!"
It is indeed a high level of intelligence. He understands things immediately and communication is effortless.
"Of course," Tang Xin nodded, "As long as you listen to me, I will still train you well... and train you in the best way."
[The system mall intelligently recommends you: "Fox Spirit Cultivation Manual", which requires 500 points. ]
[Already exchanged, matching fox species...]
"As a fox with extremely high intelligence, the Essence-sucking Fox has bottomless potential for cultivation. At a certain stage, it can even detach from its beast form and transform into a human form, completely breaking free from its shackles."
"There are three main training routes: Attack Enhancement, which focuses on physical training and improving close combat capabilities. Defense Enhancement, which focuses on speed and agility training and improving evasion capabilities. Mental Strength Enhancement, which focuses on soul training and strengthening mental abilities."
"Spiritual abilities, including intelligence enhancement, charm, etc."
There are many spirit pets that have stronger attack and defense capabilities than foxes. It is not cost-effective to train them in these two aspects.
Since she is a vixen, her talent should be on "Charm".
"I'll give you a task," Tang Xin said. "If you complete it, I will help you recover your health."
"Woo!"
The little fox's tail stood up in excitement.
However, after seeing his master's "evil" smile, he began to worry about his own fate.
"Don't worry, this mission is very simple, hehehe... By the way, I haven't given you a name yet? What should I call you? Little Elf?"
"Woo..."
……
evening.
The monks who accepted Tang Xin's advice during the day gathered around the campfire one after another, discussing the demon-eliminating operation in groups of three or four.
"what--"
Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard in the camp.
"Sorry, sorry, this is the pet I just bought..."
"Coming towards me!"
"Look at me grabbing it...I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that!"
"fine……"
"Get into my arms!"
"Look at me exploring the dragon claw... Sorry, it slipped away too fast. Did it hurt you?"
A series of exclamations were heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be a little snow-white fox running around in the camp.
This fox moved in a very regular manner. It did not run to the side of the male cultivators, but instead went into the arms of the female cultivators. Its movements were agile and each one was accurate.
Its owner, Xuanling Sect chief Tang Xin, was chasing after it, trying frantically to catch it.
