It's just that Xiang Shang is lucky that his parents have pensions, and he is older and knows more, so he can get to where he is today step by step.
As for Tang Ziyan, her parents died when she was only five years old, and she has been staying at her uncle's house. In order to earn a living, she had to work to support herself. She was bullied by her uncle and aunt from time to time. Even her younger brother Xiaozhuang treated her the same way as he did.
Normally, parents either beat or scold, which can be described as miserable.
Because of this, Xiang Shang felt particularly sorry for her.
After seeing her eat all the breakfast, Xiang Shang showed a satisfied smile.
Afraid that Tang Zhiqiang's family of three would bully her again after she left, Xiang Shang specifically proposed that Tang Ziyan take care of his spiritual pet Dong Dong, and promised to give them a sum of money. They hurriedly agreed.
As early as just now, they were frightened to death by Xiang Shang's look. Naturally, Xiang Shang said whatever he said, let alone a sum of money.
Seeing this, Xiang Shang nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the yard.
Yesterday's inquiry revealed that Xiang Shang was not completely fruitless.
In addition to being exposed twice by the media, the spirit fox also appeared once later, at the foot of a mountain thirty miles away from Qingliu Town.
Xiang Shang went out this time just to see if there would be any clues there.
Of course, he didn't hold out much hope. After all, three days had passed since the last time it appeared. Judging from the information gathered from all aspects, this spirit fox at least has the strength of the psychic realm.
If it really wanted to run, three days would be enough time for it to travel hundreds of miles.
After leaving Qingliu Town, Xiang Shang looked for the direction and walked quickly.
In the wilderness, Xiang Shang carefully observed the situation around him. Sure enough, he found that there were very few ferocious beasts here.
If you are in the wilds of Jiangzhou City, not only are there ferocious beasts everywhere, but within a few hundred meters, you will inevitably encounter one or two low-level ferocious beasts. If you are in the mountains and forests, there will be even more ferocious beasts.
But within a few hundred meters here, not to mention ferocious beasts, even wild beasts are rarely seen. Occasionally, one or two ferocious beasts are encountered, and they are all of the lowest level and do not pose the slightest threat. I believe that even ordinary refiners
People with levels three or four of physical realm can be easily dealt with.
Only when Xiang Shang gradually penetrated more than ten or twenty miles into the wild did the number of ferocious beasts gradually increase, but they could not reach a large scale.
"But if you sense it carefully, the spiritual energy of the world around here is indeed much thinner. Perhaps this is why the number of ferocious beasts is so rare."
Xiang Shang murmured in his heart.
Most ferocious beasts evolve from ordinary beasts, and the aura of heaven and earth plays a role in evolution. If the aura of heaven and earth is thin, the number of beasts that naturally evolve into ferocious beasts will be rare. If the aura of heaven and earth is rich, the aura of heaven and earth will naturally evolve into ferocious beasts.
There are even more beasts.
"I just don't know if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is thin. Is it due to geographical location or other factors?"
Xiang Shang always has some doubts in his heart. After all, although the richness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is related to the spiritual veins and the general environment, it is indeed flowing slowly. It does not mean that if the spiritual energy here is thin, it will always be thin.
From a place with strong spiritual energy, there will still be spiritual energy that will slowly flow into a place with thin spiritual energy, increasing the richness of spiritual energy in this place.
This is actually a water flow phenomenon.
For example, when Xiang Shang was practicing, he absorbed all the spiritual energy in a place with a radius of several kilometers. But after one day, the empty space in this place will still be filled by the inflow of spiritual energy from other places, allowing him to practice again.
And around the Tianxin City base, as far as Xiang Shang knows, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has always been so thin. Therefore, there are relatively few strong people here. There is not even a strong person above the Xiantian realm in the local area.
The only two Xiantian realm experts were transferred from other places by the military and officials.
This is a bit weird.
However, with Xiang Shang's strength, he cannot yet pry into the truth. He can only put these doubts in his heart for the time being.
Soon, Xiang Shang arrived at the destination of his trip. The place where the spirit fox was last seen.
This place had already been trampled by countless warriors. In just a short while, Xiang Shang saw three or four waves of warriors passing by, and he carefully checked the surrounding traces.
Seeing this, Xiang Shang knew that the spirit fox must have left and was no longer nearby.
However, he did not give up easily. He completely radiated his mental power and carefully explored all traces around him.
However, after a whole day, Xiang Shang gained nothing.
When I returned to the rented residence, it was almost dark.
"Brother, you are back." Seeing Xiang Shang, Tang Ziyan showed a happy smile on her face.
"Well, have you eaten yet? I bought it specially for you." Xiang Shang said and handed her the food specially packed in the restaurant.
"After eating, they are afraid of you and don't dare not give me food." Tang Ziyan looked at the object in Xiang Shang's hand with some greed, then touched her belly and said.
"That's okay, we can have it as a midnight snack." Xiang Shang said with a smile.
Seeing Xiang Shang, Dongdong became obviously excited, his short tail wagging vigorously.
Xiang Shang rubbed his twitching hair, then took out a few thunder crystals from his storage bag and handed them to him.
Now Xiang Shang has also discovered that thunder crystals are the most suitable food for thunder beasts like Dong Dong. Over time, it has grown a lot and is now almost as tall as Xiang Shang's thighs.
Although it is still in its infancy, it is now comparable to high-level ferocious beasts in terms of strength and speed. Coupled with its unique magical power of thunder and lightning, even high-end ferocious beasts may not be its opponents.
It's just that under normal circumstances, it doesn't use these powers.
"Well, you're here. I don't know what you promised yesterday..." At this moment, Tang Zhiqiang came over nervously and asked.
"Ask him to come over." Xiang Shang said calmly.
Then, Xiang Shang looked at Tang Ziyan and asked, "Do you want to practice martial arts?"
Xiang Shang thought that after all, Tang Ziyan and Tang Zhiqiang's family were related by blood, and now she was staying at his house. It was fine when she was there, and the other party did not dare to bully her, but he was always a passer-by and might leave at any time.
Once she leaves, based on Xiang Shang's understanding of Tang Zhiqiang's family, it can be imagined that Tang Ziyan's future life will be even worse because they are angry at her.
Therefore, the only way is to give her the ability to protect herself. And there is nothing more suitable than letting her practice martial arts.
After all, in this world, the strong are respected and have the strength. No matter what Tang Zhiqiang's family wants to do, they have to weigh it carefully.
"May I?"
Tang Ziyan's eyes lit up, and then she asked hesitantly.
