Bai Ran calmly fell to the end and couldn't help but smile when he saw others in front of him taking the elixir to remove the miasma.
With his constitution which makes it easy for the marrow to be washed, the miasma can be eliminated naturally in just one breath.
At this time, several people landed at a low altitude of only ten feet above the ground and began to fly towards the center of the basin.
"That demon fox is extremely clever. If we want to catch it, we only have one chance. So we must find a wide place where it can't escape and set up our formation. Not far ahead, there is a flat piece of solid mud.
"This way you won't be afraid of it getting into the mud and running away." Senior Brother Wang said confidently. After seeing this matter, he had already made a plan in his mind.
The others, always led by Senior Brother Wang, naturally had no objections. But Bai Ran kept smiling and saying nothing.
After a short while, the five people flew to a flat land covered with green grass. A little further away were some sparse low bushes.
This time, before Senior Brother Wang could speak, Kui Huan and the others landed on the grass and looked at everything nearby.
As a result, after a while of discussion, Kui Huan walked to the middle of the grass and dug a small hole. Then he carefully took out the polygonatum bought from the market and buried half of it in the storage bag.
In the pit, the ground is usually exposed, and some loose soil is sprinkled on top to make it more natural.
Suddenly, a faint medicinal fragrance immediately spread.
"Okay, that's enough. Xueyun Fox's sense of smell is very sensitive. With the medicinal properties of the fifty-year-old Polygonatum japonica, it will find it even if it is hidden three feet away. By the way, Junior Brother Bai collected this missing flag.
Okay." Kui Huan stood up, clapped his hands with satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something, took out a white formation flag from his storage bag and handed it to Bai Ran.
Bai Ran nodded and took the flag as usual. At this time, Senior Brother Wang began to explain to everyone.
"Everyone will take their positions at high altitude. As soon as the demon fox appears, they will listen to my call and drop the formation flag at the same time, temporarily trapping the entire grassland with the phantom formation. I believe that the demon fox has just advanced to the demon beast level. It is impossible.
He broke the formation and escaped." Senior Brother Wang said solemnly.
The others nodded in agreement.
So several people flew up with their weapons again, floating in the air fifty or sixty feet, and then each cast a rough invisibility spell to cover their figures, while holding on to the formation flag.
With such a large sum of spiritual stones involved, Kui Huan and others naturally looked nervous and stared down without blinking.
Even Senior Brother Wang himself had bright eyes and a solemn look on his face.
In comparison, Bai Ran was naturally the most relaxed. He held the white formation flag in one hand and gently turned his other hand behind him, looking around casually.
But in fact, Bai Ran's spiritual consciousness has already covered an area of several hundred feet in radius. If there is any trouble, he will definitely be the first to know.
As a result, the place instantly became silent, and there was no sound at all.
...More than an hour later, there was no movement.
Kui Huan stood on the magic weapon and stretched his sore neck, with a faint look of impatience on his face.
He looked at Senior Brother Wang and hesitated to say something, but after thinking about it, he still kept silent.
After all, in order to catch the demon fox, I had to wait an extra moment and a half, so there didn't seem to be anything to complain about.
Another half an hour passed, and while most of the people were waiting impatiently, Bai Ran, who was standing motionless on the magic weapon, suddenly looked towards a nearby bush.
But Kui Huan couldn't bear it anymore. He licked his lips and wanted to say something to others.
But at this moment, Bai Ran's cold voice came to his ears.
"Be careful, the spirit fox is already here. Just hide in the bushes to the west. Don't scare it away." When Kui Huan heard this, he was shocked and immediately closed his lips. At the same time, he glanced down and looked towards
Looking to the west.
The other three people also heard Bai Ran's message.
Like Humpty Dumpty, they looked at the bushes to the west in astonishment, but found nothing unusual. They couldn't help but feel suspicious. However, their originally relaxed minds suddenly became vigilant.
After waiting for another meal, in the eyes of several people who were surprised and delighted, a small beast about a foot in size and as white as snow slowly walked out from the bushes on one side.
It turns back every step of the way, its furry little head looking left and right from time to time. It's so cute!
This scene made the other four people feel excited. At the same time, they clenched the formation flags in their hands and did not dare to take a breath.
Bai Hu didn't notice the five people above his head. After seeing nothing strange around him, he finally became bolder.
Its pair of green eyes began to stare at Huang Jing in the distance, and its limbs slowly walked over quietly and silently.
However, when he was still more than ten feet away from Huang Jing, he suddenly stopped. His pink nose suddenly took a few sniffs, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his fox eyes, as if he had discovered something.
This situation made Senior Brother Wang above his head lose his composure. He shouted "do it", and the formation flag in his hand turned into a ray of yellow light and hurled down.
Bai Ran and others heard this and did not hesitate. They dropped the objects in their hands at the same time, and several spells sounded at the same time.
As soon as the five rays of light of different colors touched the ground, they immediately turned into the invisible ground and entered.
A large piece of yellow mist appeared out of thin air around the grassland, immediately blocking the surrounding area tightly, and the Five Elements Tracing Formation was formed all of a sudden.
When Xueyun Fox in the formation saw this scene, he naturally knew that he had fallen into a trap.
Immediately after making several panicked screams, his body flashed and turned into a ray of white light that plunged into the yellow mist, trying to escape.
Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Wang and others in the sky looked relaxed and showed no signs of hurry.
Because as soon as the white fox entered the illusion formation, he was immediately confused by the illusion transformed by the yellow mist. He could only spin around in place and could not get out of the magic formation at all.
Naturally, they were happy to exhaust the beast and then capture it alive.
Just when a few people thought that the operation was complete, everyone was smiling.
After the little fox ran in the yellow mist for a while, he suddenly swayed a few times, fell to the ground, and never stood up again.
At this time, Kui Huan and others were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.
But Senior Brother Wang's face darkened and he said calmly:
"Don't remove the restriction. We continue to maintain the magic circle. Junior Brother Ma, you go down and see what's going on. This magic circle can only trap enemies, but cannot hurt people. This fox beast is cunning in nature, and it is probably just pretending to be dead.
.”
He carefully warned the pudgy young man.
After hearing this, the other three people felt a little relieved, and the young man named Ma rushed forward without saying a word.
Bai Ran, on the other hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced sideways at this person with a half-smile, and said nothing, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Although Brother Ma is short and fat, his movements are really not slow.
In a moment, he had descended into the yellow mist and walked to the little fox in a few steps.
He was cautious and grabbed the white fox by its tail without saying a word, and then shook it lightly with confidence.
As a result, the white fox looked like a dead thing and had no reaction.
At this time, the short and fat young man became a little panicked. He quickly put the belly of the beast to his ear and listened attentively.
As a result, within a short while, Senior Brother Ma's panicked voice came from the yellow mist.
"Brother, come down quickly. This demon fox's body is cold and there is no heartbeat. It seems that he is really dead."
"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Wang couldn't help but change his expression.
"Brother, let's remove the magic circle and go down and have a look. Our spiritual power won't be able to maintain the restraint for long." Kui Huan said anxiously from the side.
Although the monk with the pale golden face and surnamed Xi didn't say anything, his eyes showed worry. After all, if the monster died, it wouldn't be worth much spiritual stone.
"Okay! Let's remove the formation first. Junior Brother Ma has already caught this beast anyway." Senior Brother Wang only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
After hearing this, Bai Ran touched his chin as usual and did not object.
Immediately, several people muttered words, pointed towards the ground one after another, and several rays of light shot out from the mist, turned into several array flags again, and fell into the hands of the four people.
The yellow mist dispersed instantly.
A short, fat young man standing on the grass was revealed. He was putting a finger under the little beast's nose, testing something.
Seeing this scene, the three senior brothers Wang all landed with gloomy expressions. But Bai Ran stood still and did not move. He even looked at the white fox for a few times, with a strange look on his face.
"Damn, this damn thing is really out of breath. Could it be that all your hard work this time was in vain?" The short and fat young man took his fingers away from the white fox's nose before the three senior brothers Wang could descend, and he was extremely angry at the same time.
A curse word blurted out.
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the three people coming down from the sky, with a look of resentment on his face as he wanted to say something else.
The expressions of the three senior brothers Wang above them changed greatly at the same time, and they shouted in unison:
"careful."
"The demon fox is alive."
"It's playing dead!"
Three different words, but expressing the same meaning.
The short and fat young man was also very clever. Hearing this, his expression suddenly changed. Without thinking, he waved one hand and a white talisman appeared between his fingers. He slapped the little beast whose tail he grabbed.
His action was obviously a bit late, as the arm holding the talisman was only halfway extended, and when he grabbed the demon fox's palm, he suddenly felt a sharp tearing pain.
He yelled, and involuntarily loosened his fingers. The white fox in his hand slid steadily to the ground with a "slipping" sound.
In the blink of an eye, the fine hairs on Xueyun Fox's tail suddenly stood up and became as hard as needles, pricking the short and fat young man's palms with holes and bleeding.
When the three people above them saw this scene, they were so frightened and furious that they rushed straight down to the little beast that had fallen to the ground on all fours.
But this white fox finally got free, so how could he wait for death and be captured? With a sudden movement, it turned into a white shadow and shot out more than ten feet away. After a few ups and downs, it plunged into the nearby forest.
In the bushes.
In desperation, Senior Brother Wang and others moved extremely quickly. The three of them surrounded the bush like a gust of wind, and then each released a magic weapon and began to search slowly.
But after a moment, the three of them were stunned for a while.
The bushes were empty except for a pile of rocks. Even though I looked at the Snowy Cloud Fox that jumped into the place, there was no trace at all.
The three of them stood there stunned, at a loss for a moment.
"Hey! Where are Junior Brother Bai going?" After Kui Huan came back to his senses, he subconsciously glanced at the sky and cried out in surprise.
Only then did several other people realize that Bai Ran was controlling this magic weapon and flying away quickly.
Senior Brother Wang and others couldn't help but be confused.
At this moment, Bai Ran's voice sounded in their ears.
"Brothers, don't panic. That little thing used a trick to sneak into the ground. I'm using a magic weapon to track it. As soon as it emerges from the ground, I will capture it alive." After saying this,
As he spoke, Bai Ran's voice disappeared, and the man stepped on the flying sword weapon towards the edge of the swamp, gradually going away.
Senior Brother Wang was filled with surprise after hearing what Bai Ran said. After calling out to the others, he couldn't wait to follow Bai Ran's figure into the sky.
Kui Huan and others followed closely behind.
"Junior Brother Ma, are your palms okay?" In his hurry, Senior Brother Wang didn't forget to turn around and ask the pudgy young man.
"Fortunately, fortunately, the thing's hair is not poisonous, it's just a skin injury." The short, fat young man fell at the back and murmured with a look of shame.
After all, it was his carelessness that allowed the demonic beast to escape. And he did so even after being warned by others.
This made the young man named Ma extremely embarrassed.
"It's okay. Let's catch up quickly. Although I don't know what magical weapon Junior Brother Bai used to chase the demon fox that hid in the ground, we should hurry up and catch up." Senior Brother Wang said with a forced smile.
After hearing this, Kui Huan also turned around, nodded repeatedly, and said in amazement: "But then again. This Snow Cloud Fox that evolved into a monster is too spiritual! It even pretended to be dead.
You pretended that even Senior Brother Ma couldn't tell the difference. It really shocked people." After hearing this, the short and fat young man holding the injured palm turned even more blood-red on his face.
Fortunately, at this time, Senior Brother Wang said a few words on his behalf.
"You can't blame Junior Brother Ma. Even if I had taken action, I might have been hit in that situation. It's just that this Snow Cloud Fox is too cunning."
After hearing this, Ma Qing looked at Senior Brother Wang with some gratitude, and finally felt better.
Just as San was talking, the young man with the blond face who had been chasing after him seemed to have seen something incredible and blurted out.
"Everyone, look, Junior Brother Bai has got into the stone wall. What...what should we do next?"
The others looked forward in surprise when they heard this, only to realize that they were already at the edge of the swamp. A few hundred feet away, there was a huge mountain with no peak visible. Directly facing them was a huge mountain with no peak visible.
It is a steep black cliff like a knife.
And Bai Ran, who was in front just now, disappeared without a trace.
The four of them stood in front of the cliff, their eyes wide open. Even Senior Brother Wang was dumbfounded.
...Bai Ran is indeed within the mountain wall.
He was holding the Wolf Head Jade Ruyi in his hand, and his whole body was glowing with light yellow. There was a small yellow wolf several feet in size not far in front of him, paving the way for him to use the earth escape technique.
Wherever the weapon spirit passed, all the earth and stone were automatically invisible. Bai Ran followed the little wolf leisurely, with an intriguing look on his face.
And where his consciousness was shrouded, a white light spot dozens of feet below was flying forward desperately. It was the little white fox.
With his magical power, it was impossible for the Snow Cloud Fox to hide its behavior of pretending to be dead just now. It even used a small piece of rock vein in the bush to sneak away.
He couldn't escape the surveillance of his consciousness.
If it were an ordinary low-level monster, Bai Ran would have naturally warned the Hidden Sword Peak disciples long ago as a favor.
But what surprised Bai Ran was that as soon as the demon fox showed its head, he discovered something unusual.
This beast has a kind of spiritual energy fluctuation that is somewhat familiar to Bai Ran.
He was surprised and after thinking about it carefully, he was surprised to find that this fox had the same spiritual energy as the white rabbit, the incarnation of Jiuqu Lingshen.
Bai Ran was naturally extremely surprised, thinking that he had discovered another incarnation of a spiritual creature from heaven and earth.
But after he used his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe the body of the white fox, he became confused again.
Because the pure spirit energy in this beast is too little. Compared with the Jiuqu Spirit Ginseng, it can be said to be worlds apart, far less than 10%. And after he carefully scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, this
The Xueyun Fox is indeed a flesh and blood body, not an illusory body. Otherwise, how could the mere Five Elements Tracing Formation be able to trap it.
Although it was confirmed that this little fox was not the incarnation of a spiritual creature from heaven and earth, Bai Ran became even more curious.
It is estimated that the fact that this beast can evolve from an ordinary little beast into a monster must have something to do with the pure spirit energy in its body.
He immediately wanted to get to the bottom of it. Then he allowed the beast to pretend to be dead and escape from Kui Huan and others, while he slowly followed behind. He wanted to see what secrets the beast had hidden in it.
Now when they reached the cliff in front of them, the Snow Cloud Fox turned into a ball of white light and blended in without hesitation.
This caused Bai Ran, who was following in secret, to release the earth attribute weapon spirit of the Yu Ruyi ancient treasure without any hesitation.
Only by using Xiaolang's earth escape technique can he quietly and silently not disturb this beast. Otherwise, if he really wants to slash the mountain with his flying sword, the white fox will naturally be frightened away again.
This huge mountain was obviously not small. After Bai Ran followed the white fox and escaped a distance of several hundred feet, the white light suddenly paused and escaped from the rocks, as if appearing in a closed stone chamber.
Bai Ran suddenly felt happy, and hurriedly urged the earth attribute wolf with Ruyi in his hand, ordering it to speed up its earth escape.
At the same time, I increased the power of my spiritual thoughts and wanted to secretly check the stone chamber first.
As a result, as soon as the spiritual consciousness approached this stone chamber, it was bounced out by a strange force and was unable to penetrate at all.
"Huh!" Bai Ran let out a surprised sigh. His body that was originally moving forward didn't feel like it was slowing down, and he became more vigilant.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt his whole body tense up, and his body suddenly became as heavy as a mountain. At the same time, a faint voice came to his ears.
"Since we have guests coming, I don't want my mother-in-law's. Why don't I ask you to come in?"
As soon as the voice fell, countless yellow lights emerged from Bai Ran's body, and at the same time, a huge force suddenly pushed behind him.
Bai Ran felt his eyes light up, and he appeared in a stone room out of thin air.
Shocked in his heart, he waved Yu Ruyi in his hand, and a yellow and red light shield appeared on his body. At the same time, he opened his mouth, and more than a dozen green lights spurted out of his body, quickly circling around the outside of the light shield.
Only then did Bai Ran have time to look around intently.
