In the depths of the cave, Xue Yu and Wen Que finally experienced the fox's wisdom.

There was a wide pit covered in straw. On the straw, several groups of fat chickens were lying on the ground. There were dozens of them. It was like a chicken farm.

In another cave, there was actually a bonfire. Beside the bonfire that was burning with three to five sticks of firewood, there were also a few silly looking little foxes lying on the ground. The next cubicle was stacked with dry firewood. The old fox opened the fire with his beak, pulled away the soil, and took a roasted, fragrant chicken out from under the fire.

The old cunning fox threw the chicken in front of Xue Yu and Wen Que. The two of them had already started salivating before they even started eating. Although the skin of the chicken was charred and black, the meat inside was extremely sweet.

After eating their fill and getting drunk, the three of them were too tired. After chatting for a while, they fell asleep near the bonfire.

Wen Que thought about the Da Hui, he did not know how it suddenly became so bloodthirsty and started to bite everywhere. He was extremely worried, but for a moment, he did not know what to do, he only knew that he should continue to let it go, and not know if the Da Hui would hurt the people in the village.

The old fox who was squatting beside the fire looked at Wen Que, a light green light flashing in his eyes.

The crow flew in the sky and searched the entire village high up in the sky for the Da Hui but to no avail.

Chu Chi could only allow it to expand its range, however, this crow that was left would not stay on strike until nightfall. This was because the sky had begun to blow with cold winds, and not long after, snowflakes began to fall.

There was nothing Chu Chi could do, he could only hope that his strength could be strengthened.

Speaking of request, it was truly humble. After drinking the medicine, the white cat's demeanor was obviously different. It stood on Chu Chi's shoulder and looked at him arrogantly, like a fighting chicken who had just won.

It was unknown if it was doing it intentionally or not, but when Chu Chi asked it to find the Da Hui, it just stood there, unmoving.

Until Chu Chi made a promise to call it Cat-lord in the future, it finally got down from Chu Chi's shoulder and ran towards the mountain at the back of the village.

's sense of smell was not as good as that of dogs. He wandered around in the back mountains and repeated his route several times. Chu Chi was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Even though it was troublesome and time-consuming, he didn't sit around idly and stare.

At around 90 to 10 o'clock, the white cat found a half-way up the mountain, and stopped in front of a white dog's corpse.

Chu Chi was a little more confident now, and urged the white cat to continue searching.

At around 12 o'clock, the white cat stopped and crawled onto Chu Chi's shoulder to lie down motionlessly. At this time the snow was already 5 to 6 cm deep, Chu Chi knew that the white cat could no longer do anything.

The smell of the Da Hui had probably been completely covered by the snow.

Chu Chi's feet were numb from the cold. Although he was wearing a down jacket, he was already soaked, and thought to himself that he needed to find a place to rest for the night or else he would definitely freeze to death in the snow.

Just as he was looking for something, a stone door suddenly opened.

A figure holding a torch stood in front of the cave entrance.

Chu Chi quickly ran into the cave and upon closer inspection, the person was Xue Yu.

"Hey, how did you know I was coming? You even opened the door for me." Chu Chi said happily.

"Why did you come here?" Xue Yu was puzzled, he raised his head and looked outside the cave.

"I'm lost." Chu Chi replied as he looked at the hole and took a deep breath, "It smells like a fox cave."

Xue Yu was not in the mood to chat with Chu Chi, he lifted his leg and walked out, a gust of wind was used to blow away the torch in his hand.

"It's snowing so heavily, don't go out. Be careful not to freeze to death." Chu Chi said.

"Wen Que is gone." Xue Yu said anxiously, "I was sleeping with us at night, and when I woke up, I wasn't in the cave."

"Could he be sleepwalking again?" Chu Chi said.

"I'm worried that something might have happened to him. The Da Hui went crazy today and bit Bai Biao to death. It even bit and injured Grandfather." Xue Yu said, "If the old fox hadn't given the Fox Immortal Grass to my grandfather, he probably wouldn't even be alive."

"There's no need to worry too much. The snowstorm outside is too heavy, even if I wanted to I would be unable to find anything. Let's wait for the snow to subside before we do anything else." Chu Chi understood that Xue Yu and his life was intertwined. If Xue Yu was fine, it meant that Wen Que was temporarily safe.

"That's the only way." Xue Yu was extremely anxious, but he was truly powerless. If he went out in this sort of weather, he would lose his life before anyone else could be found.

Xue Yu brought Chu Chi into the cave. Xue Qingshan was still sleeping, letting out a loud snoring sound that shook the sky. A litter of foxes were fast asleep.

Chu Chi circled around the fox and looked it again and again, asking Xue Yu, "Where is the old fox that you were talking about? "I don't think any of these are likely true."

The old cunning fox, who was able to find the Celestial Fox Grass, was more or less intelligent. However, this nest of foxes, even the white cat had no reaction to it.

"Oh right, that old fox has disappeared as well!" Xue Yu looked around and rubbed his head.

"This old fox probably sold Wen Que!" Chu Chi slapped his forehead and muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Xue Yu did not hear clearly.

"Oh, I said I was tired. I'm fine, go to sleep. When the snow stops, we'll go find Wen Que." Chu Chi sat cross-legged by the fire and took off his wet shoes to roast. Inside the coquettish fox cave, there was an additional strange smell.

Xue Yu sniffed, and then used his hands to fan himself.

Chu Chi didn't think much of it and started to blow a small tune. He started to worry in his heart because of Wen Que.

When Wen Que woke up, the sky was already bright and the snow was falling from the sky. The ground was also covered with a thick layer of snow.

He was slightly stupefied, but when he finally reacted, he realized that he had actually appeared in the bamboo forest.

He hurriedly stood up and saw that there was a bloody human mark where he had lain. The snow had been melted by his body heat into a large pit, and his clothes were drenched in blood and sweat.

The winter had come very early this year.

However, he remembered that a moment ago, he was still sleeping inside that warm fox's cave. Just what had happened here?

Could it be that he was sleepwalking again?

Aside from the palpitations and blankness in his heart, he did not feel a single trace of coldness. A warm current surged up all over his body and the physique of the people from the Wen Family were taking effect.

"Xue Yu..." Wen Que was startled for a moment, and then shouted.

Xue Yu did not respond, and there was nothing else that responded to him.

Wen Que was extremely nervous in his heart. His mind was churning with terrifying scenes, the human head at the bottom of the lake, the bloody scene created by the Da Hui, and the serpent spirit with a human head at the bottom of the lake.

He didn't want to be alone.

The mountain path was covered by a thick layer of snow. From the looks of it, the snowfall must have started last night.

Wen Que was walking randomly when he suddenly smelled the stench of blood. He remembered very clearly that last night in the fox's cave, it was filled with this smell.

The stench was from a fox.

Maybe the Fox Cave was nearby!

Wen Que immediately became excited, and distinguished the direction where the cold wind was blowing towards. He sniffed around, and the smell gradually became stronger.

Soon, he found the source of the scent.

In a slightly bulging snowdrift, half of the gray fur was exposed.

He quickly ran over and pulled the snowdrift apart. Under the snow was an old fox that had been dead for a long time. Even its corpse was frozen stiff.

That was the oldest and most intelligent one that had appeared in the fox's cave last night!

A bloody hole had been bitten open on its neck, and its body was shriveled up. However, there wasn't much blood on the ground. It was as if some monster had sucked up all the blood in its body. There was a big hole in its chest. A few of its ribs were broken and it was empty. At the same time, the pillar of the eye was also dug out.

Needless to say, it would end up like Bai Biao.

Wen Que immediately became alert. Who else would do such a thing other than the Da Hui?

The old cunning fox had kindly saved the lives of the humans yesterday, gave them shelter and food, but today, he had died in front of their eyes.

He grabbed the old fox's front legs and hoisted him onto his shoulders. He didn't want to let him die in the wilderness and become food for the other wild beasts.

The snow-covered mountain path was originally hard to walk on. Carrying a fifty to sixty jin fox corpse on his back made walking even more difficult.

After Wen Que walked a distance, he suddenly felt a sinister shadow following behind him. However, when he turned around to look, he couldn't see anything.

"Da Hui! Come out and don't hide yourself! " Wen Que shouted loudly, "You beast, see if I beat you to death or not!"

The shouting had somewhat dispelled the fear in his heart, which he was in fact extremely afraid of. Every time he shouted, he would increase his pace.

But the thing never turned up.

Wen Que knew that it was not his imagination, there was something following him from behind. Although he could not hear the footsteps, it still made tinkling sounds when it came in contact with the leaves and branches that were covered with snow. The sounds were erratic, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west. It was as if the thing were running around him.

Wen Que walked faster and faster, his breathing gradually becoming hurried and his throat becoming dry. He was hungry and regretted not having eaten much last night.

"Wen Que..." Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling to him.

That voice was actually his father's!
