The woods beside the river are lush and it is difficult to see the sky.

I don't know if there is water vapor, miasma, or morning fog. In short, the forest is dark and foggy. Walking into it, it is much colder than other places.

There are also some lonely ghosts who are lost in it. They are deceived by the evil spirit and cannot get out. Because the sunlight occasionally shines through, they have no choice but to turn into ghost beans as big as flies and hide under the roots of trees or in the shade, waiting.

One day, a monster dug it out and ate it.

The old goat was lying down and sleeping under the tree.

"..."

A crow glided over silently and landed on the treetops. Its black feathers reflected the metallic luster in the sun.

The crow looked down at the goat.

This goat looks much larger than ordinary goats, with a long beard. When lying down and closing its eyes, it looks like an old man with a kind-hearted look. However, it has evil and fishy stench all over its body.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was shrewd and strange again.

The goat realized something was wrong and raised its head.

I looked left and right, but saw nothing. I thought for a moment, and for some reason, I was just about to fall down and continue sleeping, when I suddenly raised my head and looked up at the sky——

The crow stared at it with its bean-like eyes.

The goat's ears twitched and it stood up immediately.

When he turned around, he saw that at some point, a clouded leopard as big as a leopard had quietly sneaked up behind it, with its body hunched over and its bright yellow eyes staring intently at it.

"What!"

The goat felt fear at the first moment, which was really instinctive, and then after thinking about it for a moment, it became even more frightening.

Fortunately, he noticed something was wrong just now. If he hadn't noticed, a sleeping sheep was touched behind by a leopard, what would have happened, he couldn't even think about what would happen.

It was discovered in advance at this time, and it did not hesitate -

"Bang!"

The sheep and the leopard just looked at each other, and then they simultaneously burst out with the strongest strength, pushing their bodies away from the place, and for a moment they rushed out like an explosion.

One runs and the other chases.

It is true that the goat has become a spirit. If you encounter an ordinary clouded leopard, you will naturally not be afraid, because the clouded leopard itself is not big and can fight it with its strength.

But if it encounters a pack of wolves or a more powerful leopard, it will have to consider whether it has become a spirit. In the end, it will probably choose to run away - after all, it is rare to become a spirit, and the life of a monster is more valuable. Higher wisdom sometimes brings

Greater courage sometimes also brings hesitation and timidity.

But this clouded leopard is already much larger than the ordinary clouded leopard. The gap between it and the ordinary clouded leopard is greater than the gap between itself and the ordinary goat. How can it dare to compete with it?

So I followed my instinct and ran as fast as I could.

Soon it was horrified to discover that the clouded leopard was faster than itself.

The claws scratched its butt several times, and even felt the sharp claws embedded in the flesh. There were wounds and bleeding on its body, but it turned around and didn't look at it, and didn't care at all. It only relied on its own understanding of the terrain.

So familiar, he gritted his teeth and ran away.

Both sides chased and retreated in the dense forest, and narrowly escaped on the verge of victory or death several times.

"Ouch~~"

The howling of wolves sounded again in the distance.

The goat was even more horrified to find that at some point, another pack of wolves appeared around him. These wolves were slightly larger than ordinary wild wolves, and they were actually chasing and intercepting him along with the clouded leopard.

The goat couldn't figure out the reason and had no time to think about it, so he just ran away even more desperately.

Suddenly he took a puff forward and exhaled yellow smoke.

"puff……"

Then he jumped into the yellow smoke.

The advantage of the terrain is no longer enough, so we have to create a shield ourselves. This yellow smoke can not only obscure the sight, but also confuse ordinary birds and beasts, lonely ghosts, and people who are not strong-minded and have insufficient energy and blood will also be fascinated, but for tigers and leopards

This kind of beast is not very effective.

After the goat jumped out and landed, he looked back and saw, as expected, the clouded leopard and wolves also jumped out of the yellow smoke.

The wolves were still a little dazed and seemed to be unsteady, but they were recovering quickly, while the clouded leopard almost just shook its head, then raised its head again and stared at it.

The goat immediately faced the clouded leopard and blew another puff of yellow smoke.

"puff……"

However, he saw that the clouded leopard was extremely agile, exerted all its strength on its limbs, and jumped sideways in a way that most animals could not do. It avoided the cloud of yellow smoke and then rushed towards it close to the ground.

What else can the goat do? It can only run again!

Fortunately, there is already a cliff in front of us.

So he accelerated and ran a few steps towards the cliff.

It is an almost vertical cliff with only a few bumps and valleys. You can definitely escape by climbing up the cliff.

The goat felt angry at first, and wanted to turn around and hit the clouded leopard before it could escape, and then go up the mountain after getting angry. However, it thought of the clouded leopard's fangs and claws, and thought of the beasts it had seen pinning down other goats.

The scene of biting the throat, a primal fear arises in the heart, which easily annihilates its ferocity and makes it unable to use it no matter how strong it is.

Just rush towards the cliff quickly.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

He was already familiar with the road, and with the momentum of running, his body almost went straight up, and he was two or three feet above the ground in an instant.

The clouded leopard followed it and ran up for a while, then gritted its teeth and jumped up suddenly, grabbing the goat's butt with one claw, and grabbed a few pieces of wool and a little blood. After all, it was not as skilled as it was in this part of the mountain, so it had to turn around and step on the cliff.

He jumped off the wall and fell back to the ground.

"Ah~~"

The clouded leopard screamed angrily.

The goat looked down and just breathed a sigh of relief, but felt something was wrong.

Look up -

I saw a white fox sitting on a small protrusion of a stone above. Its size was between a cat and a dog. It was licking its paws intently. After licking its paws, it then used its paws to scratch its face like crazy.

As if sensing its gaze, the white fox put down its paws and looked at it, its eyes as clear and calm as water.

Then on the cliff that was so steep and dangerous that it had to walk carefully, the white fox actually stood up and stretched lazily. Then it walked on the flat ground, head down and tail up, stepping on the vertical cliff towards

It strolled along.

"?"

The goat's shrewd eyes immediately showed surprise, and there was fear in the surprise.

When I looked up, I saw the fox approaching above and the waiting clouded leopard below. The wild wolves also gathered around and looked up at it.

For a moment, I just felt that it was neither up nor down.

Fortunately, this fox is not very big.

The goat thought like this, became furious, ran up quickly, lowered its head and made a collision gesture.

It happened that the mountain wind was blowing, and in this mountain wind, I saw the fox above swelled in the wind, and soon grew to be about the same size as the clouded leopard, and a second tail grew out of its back. Its hair was fluffy, and it was on the cliff mountain.

It trembled softly under the wind, and for a moment it was like a god.

But this god rushed towards it.

"What!"

The goat's horns collided quickly and violently, but the white fox on this cliff was much more nimble than it. It easily avoided it with one step, and then hit its neck with a claw, and its sharp claws penetrated the wool and embedded into its flesh.

At the same time, the fangs were biting.

The goat struggled desperately.

For a moment, yellow smoke and cold air spurted out at intervals, stirring in the air. The horns of the sheep hit the cliff several times, and both parties fell down during the fight.

There was a bang! The goat fell to the ground, but the white fox pulled away when it was still more than half a foot above the ground. He stepped on the cliff to steady his body, and his limbs exerted force again, and his whole body fell lightly.

At the same time, the crow also found the heavenly soul of the Yan family's grandson and came with the soul in its mouth.

…

Sure enough, as the fourth senior brother said——

In the morning alone, the crow carried back the soul of the Yan family's grandson. At first glance, it looked like a green-headed fly. After placing it back, the boy snorted and gradually resumed his regular breathing.

The second senior brother took another requiem pill and fed it to him amid the Yan family's numerous thanks.

Then Fuyao came back and sat at Lin Jue's feet, constantly cleaning his dirty paws and face.

"It's good now. The monsters by the river have been eliminated by Pindao's friends, and Lingsun's soul has been recovered. If you eat the requiem pill of my second senior brother, your soul will be stable in the future.

Even if you are troubled again, just come to the mountain temple to look for Pindao."

The fourth senior brother said to him.
