Chapter 341 "Blood Fox"
Su Chenyin's nerves were like a taut bowstring, always maintaining a high level of tension and alertness.
Her sharp eyes shuttled between every blood-red leaf, carefully searching every corner that might hide the blood shadow.
"Swoosh--" Suddenly, another sharp sound of breaking wind was heard, and the blood shadow appeared again.
This time, it seemed to become bolder. It no longer hid like before, but moved quickly and strangely in Su Chenyin's field of vision.
Sometimes it disappears behind trees and sometimes leaps onto branches, like an elusive ghost, making it difficult to capture its figure.
The blood shadow seemed to be challenging Su Chenyin's speed and patience. It kept swaying in front of her, making her feel an invisible pressure.
Su Chenyin frowned slightly. She did not intend to chase the blood shadow that provoked her, but stood there calmly.
Her eyes were like a sharp sword, tightly locking onto Bloodshadow's every move, trying to find out its pattern.
However, the blood shadow's movements were too erratic, with almost no fixed pattern.
However, Su Chenyin was not discouraged.
She closed her eyes tightly, abandoned her reliance on vision, and relied on her keen hearing and intuition to sense the movement of the blood shadow.
The sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to her thoughts.
Su Chenyin's senses were like a wide open net, closely capturing every subtle change around her.
The blood shadow seemed to have sensed her intention and began to speed up in an attempt to escape her perception.
However, during one leap, it inadvertently caused a leaf to fall.
It was this insignificant difference that allowed Su Chenyin to keenly capture its trajectory.
Her eyes suddenly opened, her expression focused, and she swung the sword in her hand quickly, drawing a sharp sword light.
"Swish--" the sword light broke through the wind, accurately cut through the fallen leaves, and directly attacked the blood shadow hidden behind it.
"Ah——" a short and shrill scream sounded.
The blood shadow rolled several times in the air, as if it had suffered a great impact.
With a loud bang, it fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust that lingered for a long time.
As the dust gradually dissipated, its true face slowly emerged.
It was a spirit beast that looked like a fox, with fur of a strange blood red color, as if its entire body was dyed red with blood.
The blood fox's dark blue eyes sparkled with deep light like gems, revealing a mysterious and strange aura.
The aura of this spirit beast is extremely powerful; it is obviously not an ordinary blood fox.
It was hit by the sword, leaving a hideous wound on its shoulder so deep that the bone was visible.
Dark red blood continued to flow out of the wound, dripping onto the ground, dyeing the surrounding land scarlet.
It groaned in pain, twisted its body, and tried to struggle to stand up.
But due to his severe injuries, he eventually fell to the ground helplessly.
Su Chenyin held the sword in his hand and approached the blood fox carefully, keeping alert at all times.
When she was less than ten feet away from the blood fox, she stopped.
Then, she slightly raised the sword in her hand, ready to deal a fatal blow to the blood fox.
However, at this moment, the blood fox, which was still struggling in pain, suddenly stopped.
It endured the pain and slowly raised its head with difficulty.
It stared at Su Chenyin with its dark blue eyes, and there was even a hint of pleading in its eyes.
This made Su Chenyin stunned, and the sword in his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall.
Su Chenyin could clearly feel that the blood fox in front of her had no ill will towards her, not even any hostility.
This made her a little confused, but at the same time she felt a little relieved.
However, she was still not reassured.
So she carefully observed the blood fox's expression again, wanting to make sure whether it was really not dangerous.
Sure enough, she found that there was no hostility or threat in the blood fox's eyes towards her.
On the contrary, its eyes revealed a sense of desolation and helplessness, as if filled with endless sorrow and pain.
Su Chenyin quietly looked at the blood fox's desolate and helpless eyes, and a trace of sympathy rose in her heart.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly put down the sword in her hand.
When the Blood Fox saw Su Chenyin put down the sword, its originally tense body breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed as well.
A trace of gratitude flashed in its eyes, and its weak voice was filled with surprise and disbelief: "Beautiful human, you...you really won't kill me?"
Su Chenyin lowered his eyes, looking down at the blood fox on the ground. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did I say I wouldn't kill you?"
When Blood Fox heard these words, his body shook violently. He no longer cared about the pain on his body, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes, flowing out like a dam bursting.
It cried loudly:
“Wow, why is my life so miserable? Wow, I just scared you and you want to kill me! I am so pitiful! So miserable! Wow…”
Su Chenyin couldn't help feeling a headache as she listened to the blood fox crying non-stop.
She frowned, held her forehead helplessly, and said threateningly: "Okay, stop crying, stop crying, or I will really hit you if you cry again."
However, the blood fox did not stop crying because of Su Chenyin's threatening words.
On the contrary, it cried even louder!
Even more fierce!!
Tears flowed down, and the sound became more and more shrill, as if the entire blood-red forest was filled with its crying.
Moreover, while sobbing, it stared at Su Chenyin with sad eyes.
It seems that he wants to express the grievances and sorrow deep in his heart in this way.
When Su Chenyin saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She deliberately kept a straight face and said in a serious tone: "Okay, okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, I really can't help but kill you."
As he spoke, Su Chenyin swung the sword in his hand, pretending to chop at the blood fox.
"No, no, don't kill me!" Seeing this, the blood fox quickly raised its front paws to block the front, and its crying stopped abruptly in fear.
It widened its eyes and looked at the sword in Su Chenyin's hand in horror, fearing that Su Chenyin would really attack if he was unhappy.
It sniffed, trying to control its emotions and trying to stop crying.
At this moment, it looks both pitiful and cute, making people feel pity for it.
"I, I promise not to cry. Can you please not kill me? Please, I won't cry anymore."
The blood fox pleaded with sobs, looking up at Su Chen with tearful eyes, his eyes full of pleading.
Su Chenyin looked at the pitiful appearance of the blood fox and couldn't help but laugh. The anger and hostility in his heart had long since disappeared.
She sighed softly, retracted her sword, squatted down, and said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you, I won't kill you, not for the time being."
