Chapter 325: Fox Den, Earth Desire Grotto Heaven (2)
Colored lights are not glaring at all.
Li Ye, who had shrunken and was hiding within the thick fur of the little yellow dog, looked out in surprise and said, "The Spirit Plants here actually form an Array, and it's a very advanced one."
Beside him, Chen Mo also emerged from the fur. He was quite content, sunk into the soft fur, with an extraordinarily relaxed expression.
He rested his hand behind his head and lay in the fur, casually saying, "How special is it?"
"..."
"Anyway, it's very special. The Spiritual Light emitted by the Spirit Plants here blends together, and it's definitely comparable to the techniques of our Spirit Garden."
That was indeed quite special.
The creation method of the Spirit Garden primarily relied on the uniqueness of "Heavenly Luck Tripod Wood," whose all-encompassing nature is akin to Jianmu; setting up Arrays within it could essentially achieve perfect coordination.
Of course, doing this outside is also feasible.
It just involves issues of cost and expense, which can be extremely troublesome.
"Is it possible that this place is actually a setup similar to your so-called Tripod Wood Array?" Wei Qingye also squeezed out.
"It's not impossible."
Li Ye examined the surroundings.
The three of them were hiding in the hair of the little yellow dog, naturally not worrying about being discovered by the outside world.
After all, who knows what the situation is here.
If they accidentally alerted the enemy when entering, causing the fox to flee, that would be troublesome.
The three continued discussing this.
Meanwhile, the little yellow dog moved forward effortlessly while feigning a timid appearance.
Fortunately, the path wasn't long.
After traversing an entrance obscured by lush grass, the view suddenly opened up——rainbow hues cascaded down from the Heavenly Dome like a waterfall.
The spreading rainbow glow covered the entire ground as far as the eye could see, with spiritual hues rippling like water waves in the air, and various strange flowers and grasses, along with Spirit Beasts soaring freely.
The vibrant colors and refreshing scent surrounded Li Ye, even making him feel somewhat… intoxicated.
"Wow, the level of this Grotto Heaven should be near Level A. The Earth Wishing Spirit Foxes have surely found a good place," Chen Mo couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
——Level A Grotto Heaven can basically be called a self-operating Small Thousand World, even within the Four Seasons Sect, it's not a common sight.
"Yes, this Grotto Heaven alone is invaluable, not to mention the numerous treasures here," Li Ye said, sweeping his gaze over, with the information presented on the panel floating in his mind.
There were even quite a few Fifth Tier Spirit Plants.
Seeing this made him a bit covetous, wanting to collect them all.
However, soon enough.
A figure, or rather, a fiery red fox suddenly appeared from the side, speaking to the little yellow dog:
"You are... made by an infringement, right."
"Truly pitiful, using Yaksha bones, you must be in a lot of pain."
"Sigh, maybe I should relieve you," it said, swinging its long tail intending to burn the little yellow dog to ashes.
At this point, Li Ye and his companions could not sit still.
The three exchanged Divine Sense for a moment.
"Action!"
Li Ye released a rain curtain that could blend into the environment, while Chen Mo brought out a few of his treasures to reinforce the rain curtain, ensuring it won't be detected by the outside world.
As for Wei Qingye, he of course leaped forward.
Directly grabbing the red fox, sharp Sword Qi encircled its smooth, sleek fur, bringing a threat of death.
The poor red fox didn't even have time to react.
When it came to its senses, it could only feel around it, the Divine Senses and gazes of the three Golden Core True Men scrutinizing it, as if thoroughly probing inside and out.
It dared not move.
Pitifully saying, "Dear... dear sirs, I'm just a ginseng keeper, could you spare me... No, I can take you to the ginseng fields?"
Born and bred peacefully in this Grotto Heaven, it never encountered such an incident.
Any rare messages from the outside world were brought by seniors.
Often bullied by those high-bloodline Fox Race dandies, it could only deal with the situation as usual——I'll give you the ginsengs I've painstakingly grown.
"...Why does it seem so simple-minded," Wei Qingye said disdainfully.
"Maybe it never faced any issues before."
Li Ye reached out and poked it, directly saying, "Tell me everything you know, or I'll search your soul."
Had it not been that the creature showed no signs of chaos, even hints of Spiritual Light from plants, indicating it never killed, Li Ye would've searched its soul immediately.
Had it been another with a muddled aura, he'd have searched their soul without further ado.
The red fox's tail shrunk in fear.
Quickly saying, "But my... my Divine Sense is sealed by the Clan Leader, if I speak, no… I'll die even before spilling anything!"
Speaking thus, it started shedding tears.
"Sealed?" Chen Mo extended a finger on its head, muttered a few words, then casually pulled——a black fog shaped like a fox head was directly pulled out and placed in a jade bottle.
Throughout the process, the Forbidden Technique's supposed alert didn't produce any sound.
Being a core disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, if he lacked this much skill, he might as well go back to planting sweet potatoes...
"Senior brother's methods are impressive," Li Ye praised, then patted the red fox's head: "Can you speak now?"
The red fox nodded quickly.
And disclosed everything it knew.
Speedily, as though eager, perhaps long-awaiting to reveal those matters.
From its words, it was clear this fox was heavily bullied, harboring resentment towards those dandy Fox Race members.
Even at the cost of betraying its kin.
The summarized information was——the place is the Earth Desire Fox Race's fundamental Grotto Heaven, known as Earth Desire Cave Heaven, with a base of the Outer Domain's Spiritual Knowledge Society here.
Along with a pile of assorted matters, greatly aiding in understanding the area.
Once finished, Li Ye didn't kill it, but rather asked with interest: "So you say your bloodline is impure?"
Quite interesting indeed.
Though the panel shows this fellow as [Ancestor Blood Earth Wishing Spirit Fox], it was constantly bullied as impure, maybe there's a fox legend about ancestral geniuses being bullied before rising to prominence?
"Yes." Mentioning it, the fox named Di Xia sighed slightly, instinctively sensing Li Ye was approachable.
Thus, he began complaining: "Due to my impure bloodline, I could only stay in the ginseng fields, and even the spring water of the Rootless Spring was denied to me, my distributed Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid were seized..."
Indeed, quite pitiful.
Li Ye listened with keen interest as it recounted being bullied by Fox Race dandies pulling its tail fur, overturning its rice bowl, substituting lamp oil...
While using Divine Sense to investigate.
Then.
He quietly summoned a beaver.
The beaver held a Treasure Lotus Lamp in hand, emanating eternal radiant flame.
As the Treasure Lotus Lamp appeared.
The red fox froze.
Staring foolishly at the endlessly glowing treasure, eye marks resembled lotus patterns... accompanied by an axe's shadow faintly appearing.
Even as a mere shadow, the sharp unmatched glow startled the three Golden Core True Men.
Especially Wei Qingye.
The sword in his hand vibrated, yearning to face the axe——yet hesitated to approach.
Deeply conflicted.
