325: Little fox in critical condition
At the same time, in the distant capital, the Grand Elder was discussing important matters with Old Qin.
A hint of worry flickered in the Grand Elder's eyes as he earnestly told Old Qin, "Old Qin, I always feel a bit uneasy. Although Linglong, Big Yellow, and Little Fox are already stationed at Heng Mountain, I still feel a little unsettled. Therefore, I hope you can personally go to Heng Mountain to ensure that everything is safe and sound."
A sense of helplessness welled up in Old Qin's heart.
He wanted to tell the Grand Elder that even if they faced more Yao Beasts, they were just ordinary Yao Beasts.
Moreover, with Linglong, Big Yellow, and Little Fox, these three powerful companions guarding them, there would absolutely be no safety issues.
On the contrary, if even the three of them couldn't handle it, then we probably wouldn't be able to do anything either.
However, when he saw the Grand Elder's serious and determined expression, he knew he couldn't refuse the request.
Thus, Old Qin silently nodded, indicating his willingness to immediately set off for Heng Mountain.
He performed the Flying Sword technique, controlling his Flying Sword to instantly pierce through the clouds and speed towards Heng Mountain.
Along the way, Old Qin was in a pleasant mood, sitting on his sword with great interest, overlooking the intense battle scenes below.
When he arrived at Heng Mountain, he happened to see Linglong, Big Yellow, and Little Fox engaged in a fierce duel with the Yao Beasts.
He didn't forget to tease, "Oh, three against three, how lively! It seems this battle will be very exciting."
In this fierce battle, Linglong, Big Yellow, and Little Fox were encountering attacks from three ferocious Yao Beasts in the Late Stage of Refining Qi and Transforming into Spirit: a fierce tiger, a massive python, and a giant wolf.
Although their cultivation levels were evenly matched, Linglong and her companions, relying on their tacit cooperation and unique combat skills, successfully resisted the Yao Beasts' fierce offensive.
Their figures were agile, darting through the chaotic battlefield like lightning, each move incredibly precise and astonishing.
Linglong's figure flickered across the battlefield like a ghost, and with a soft utterance, hundreds of dazzling electric flashes streaked across the sky; each flash, as if it had eyes, accurately struck the vital parts of the python.
Big Yellow, relying on his unparalleled strong physique and immense strength, fearlessly engaged in a thrilling close-quarters combat with the exceptionally fierce tiger.
His sharp claws and keen fangs gleamed with cold light, and even the majestic tiger dared not underestimate him.
Little Fox, moreover, brought her specialty, Enchantment, to its fullest extent; her light and agile body darted through the trees, simultaneously using Enchantment to control nearby Yao Beasts to attack the giant wolf, while continuously releasing powerful Enchantment to disrupt the Yao Beasts' minds, thereby successfully creating excellent offensive opportunities for Linglong and Big Yellow.
Facing such formidable opponents, the Yao Beasts naturally refused to surrender easily.
The tiger's mighty and sharp attacks, the cunning and unpredictable tactics of the python, and the giant wolf's fierce and brutal pounces all brought unprecedented immense pressure upon Linglong and the others.
However, under the tacit cooperation formed from long-term joint combat, Linglong and her three little companions were always able to skillfully evade the enemy's aggressive attacks and seize opportunities to launch counterattacks.
As the fierce tiger was directly knocked down by Big Yellow with the force of thunder, Big Yellow immediately shot out a rapid lightning bolt from his mouth, striking the fallen tiger like lightning.
However, this fierce tiger did not easily give in, still struggling to counterattack.
Big Yellow kicked out a foot, accurately striking the tiger's head.
Due to the tiger Yao's momentary oversight and failure to defend in time, its head rolled off to the side like a ball, its eyes wide open, unwilling to close in death.
Big Yellow stood steadily on the tiger Yao's body, a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes, and sneered, "Hmph, a mere little tiger Yao dares to be arrogant and overbearing in front of this Qilin; you are simply a simple-minded, brawny idiot."
With that, he kicked away the tiger Yao's corpse, his gaze piercing through layers of clouds, looking towards the sky, muttering to himself, "Who is here? Why do I also sense a familiar aura?"
Just as Big Yellow was lost in thought, suddenly, a tragic cry reached his ears.
He fixed his gaze and found Little Fox being played with by the giant wolf, like a toy being wantonly tossed around.
After the giant wolf had played enough, it mercilessly threw Little Fox onto a huge tree trunk.
Witnessing this scene, Big Yellow's anger instantly ignited; he was furious and let out a deafening roar, "Damn fellow, come and face your death!"
Having said that, he unhesitatingly launched a powerful lightning cannon attack at the giant wolf.
The giant wolf agilely dodged the attack, but merely looked at Big Yellow with a contemptuous sneer, then turned and rushed towards Little Fox's direction, clearly intending to deliver a fatal blow to Little Fox.
Linglong, of course, also heard Little Fox's screams, but just as she was about to go and support Little Fox, the python Yao Beast beside her tightly held her back, preventing her from diverting her attention.
Linglong grew even more furious and attacked the python Yao Beast with all her might, determined to leave this hateful fellow without a burial place.
Big Yellow saw the giant wolf's mocking gaze and inwardly cried out, "Not good!"
So he rushed with all his might towards where Little Fox had fallen, his four legs running so fast they almost smoked, but the distance between him and Little Fox was always just a little bit off.
Big Yellow was incredibly frustrated; during their time together, he had long regarded Linglong and Little Fox as family.
Yet at this moment, Little Fox was on the verge of death, and he was always just one step too late...
Little Fox lay weakly on the cold ground, her once lively eyes now dim, as if losing the light of life.
Though her heart was filled with fear, she still wanted to escape... However, the shocking injuries on her body made all of it a luxury.
A blow from a Late Stage of Refining Qi and Transforming into Spirit expert was undoubtedly a fatal blow to her, who was in the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Initial Stage.
Although she hadn't completely stopped breathing, it was only because of a wisp of contractual bond with Li Mu that she barely maintained her last trace of vitality.
The giant wolf, excited and cruel, prepared to launch its next attack, eager to witness Little Fox's tragic death.
The thrill of imminent success made its expression exceptionally excited.
At this moment, Old Qin, who was watching from the air, inwardly cried out, "Oh no! If Little Fox dies, I will definitely be scolded by my master..."
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Old Qin unhesitatingly moved to block the giant wolf's fierce attack.
With astonishing speed, he grabbed Little Fox from the ground, quickly carried her away from the danger zone, and maintained a safe distance from the giant wolf.
Old Qin anxiously checked Little Fox's physical condition, muttering incessantly, "Hey, hey, hey, you absolutely cannot die! Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble!!"
Immediately after, he quickly took out a precious Medicinal Pill from his Pregnant, carefully placing it into Little Fox's mouth.
A moment later, Little Fox's breathing gradually stabilized, and her vital signs began to return to normal.
Big Yellow also arrived beside Old Qin and Little Fox at this moment.
Old Qin's face was beaming with joy as he cheerfully waved to Big Yellow and greeted him enthusiastically, "Hello!"
Big Yellow nodded slightly in response, his gaze then falling on Little Fox, who was held tightly in Old Qin's arms, a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and he softly said, "Thank you, leave the rest to us now, please take him to safety!"
Old Qin turned to look at the python fiercely confronting Linglong not far away, and then at the huge wolf in front of him; he took a deep breath, then nodded heavily in response, "Okay, if there's anything you need help with, just call me anytime!"
With that, Old Qin left with Little Fox in his arms, while muttering, "Hey, I gave you such an incredibly precious Medicinal Pill, how do you feel now? At least make a sound!"
At this moment, Little Fox, held in Old Qin's arms, also smelled that familiar and comforting aura, and deeply realized that what this person had just fed him was definitely a top-grade treasure.
Little Fox could clearly feel her body gradually recovering its vitality... Finally, Little Fox used all her strength to emit a faint and weak sound: "Squeak..."
