Chapter 3220: The Secret of the Thousand-Year Sky Fox

*************************************************** ***************************************

"What did you say?" The little fox and I said in unison, looked at each other, and then stared at Aina Senbei.

This guy is definitely joking with us again and teasing us again.

"Senior Aina, now is not the time to joke."

"Yes, even if time is not urgent, you can't joke with us about this kind of thing, Aina-senpai."

"That's why I thought you must have misunderstood, and that's why I found it hard to talk about it." Aina twisted a strand of her hair and curled it, showing a troubled look.

"How should I explain it so that you can understand that I am not joking at all?"

"You can't be serious, right?" Seeing Aina Senbei's expression, we couldn't calm down anymore. Are you really not joking with us? No, no, no, this must be fake, she must be acting.

"That's right, look into my eyes. I'm not joking with you. I promise this in the name of Tianhu."

Our eyes met, and after a few seconds, we finally confirmed that she was not joking.

"What, you guys are so outrageous. I have already pledged my promise in the name of the fox, but you still don't believe me and you still keep looking at me." Aina Senbei looked very hurt and started a small fuss. awkward.

"I'm sorry, it's really because what you said, Aina-senpai, is so shocking."

"Ah, does it surprise you that much?"

"This is a matter of course, right? Isn't it because I showed affection to the little fox before I left last time that prompted the Sky Fox ancestors to go crazy in advance? Now you still want to let us continue to show affection, is it? Do you want to fight fire with fire and just make these crazy Sky Fox ancestors angry?"

"That would be too much. Even I can't do it."

"Right, that's right, then why do we still have to do this kind of thing? You said it was not a joke."

"Ahem, sit down first and listen carefully to what I have to say. It won't be too late to judge after you have finished listening." Aina pressed her palm down lightly, motioning for the two of us to sit down, and she poured a glass of water herself. , put his hands on his hips, and drank it down proudly.

"Why, even if it's a remnant soul, drinking some water won't make a fuss. Don't tell me that Alice doesn't eat."

The little ghost has a special form, okay? I rolled my eyes secretly, but since Aina Senbei said this, we couldn't continue to make a fuss. Both pairs of eyes looked at her, waiting for an explanation.

"Actually, all methods are best based on one premise, that is, no matter what method is used, the place of testing must be preserved. Otherwise, our fox tribe is likely to become a subpar race in the future."

The little fox nodded after hearing Aina's words. It seemed that the fox tribe had a unanimous opinion.

"But what should we do with these crazy remnant souls of our ancestors? Without them, the place of testing would be in name only."

"Then what should we do?" the little fox asked nervously.

"Don't worry, in fact we have been studying this issue."

"us?"

"All our partners in the Test Place, although we spend most of the time sleeping, there are times when we wake up. Because we have long expected that this situation will happen, everyone is preparing for a rainy day."

In order to deal with the future self that will definitely go crazy, we work tirelessly to think and plan how to extinguish the future self. This is such a sad and cruel fact. Listening to Aina Senbei's words sounds relaxed, but I can feel a heavy atmosphere. .

"Don't show that expression. In fact, death may be the most comfortable relief for us, but unfortunately, we still shoulder the important task of continuing the fox tribe, so we can't fall down before we think of a way. So we thought and thought and thought, and finally, through continuous research on the Land of Trial and the mechanism of Tianhu inheritance, we finally came up with another way to continue the operation of the Land of Trial."

While the little fox and I were listening carefully with our eyes widened, Aina Senbei also entered the role with a solemn expression.

"As we all know, the Sky Fox appears every thousand years, but no one has ever studied why the Sky Fox appears every thousand years, not every hundred years, nor five hundred years, two thousand years, five thousand years, ten thousand years, but every thousand years. Woolen cloth?"

"Because this number sounds like that and is easier to remember." I blurted out, but was cut by Aina Senbei's hand.

"Later, after our careful research, we finally discovered a possibility in recent times. Of course, this is just a possibility and cannot be 100% certain. There is a secret about the special power gained by Tianhu who passed the test. The place of test Why can Tianhu be given such power, and where does it come from.”

Like a cold swordsman, he retracted his sword without even looking at the Saint Yue Xianlang who was covering his forehead. Aina Senbei continued to explain to us in a mysterious and appetizing way.

After pausing for a while, seeing our anxious expressions, she continued with satisfaction: "Perhaps, the source of power in the Testing Place comes from the wishes of all the fox people, and it takes almost just enough to collect these wishes and turn them into power. A thousand years, perhaps, it is for this reason that the Tianhu came out for a thousand years, in order to echo the power of the test place. It is only late rather than early, otherwise it will not be inherited, and the Tianhu and Tianhu who cannot be inherited will not be able to inherit it. What’s the difference between salted fish and salted fish?”

No, this is a bit too arbitrary, but the double agility ability inherited by Tianhu is really incredible. It would be a pity not to have such an ability.

"I see, is it to adapt to the speed of gathering the power of wishes in the test place?" The little fox thought deeply, then seemed to have figured out something, nodded clearly, and then his eyes lit up again.

"Wait a minute, if the population of the tribe increases, will the wishes become stronger and the time for Tianhu's birth to be shortened?"

"We have also discussed this issue, but it doesn't seem to be feasible. Our fox tribe has a prosperous past, but the sky fox still appears every thousand years, so it is probably limited by the absorption speed of the test place. The fastest must be one millennium."

"Then if the number of tribesmen decreases and the tribe declines, won't the birth time of Sky Fox be extended and become weaker and weaker?" The little fox's tail hair exploded, and a strong sense of responsibility and mission suddenly surged in his body.

"Well, if the tribe gradually declines, then the tribe's people are looking forward to the birth of a strong man, hoping that Tianhu will appear as soon as possible, and their desire to lead the tribe to become stronger will become stronger, right? So the impact should not be big, but if it declines When it reaches a certain level, no matter how strong the individual's wishes are, it cannot make up for the lack of numbers, the situation you mentioned may occur. If this time comes, maybe we fox people are not far away from annihilation."

"Senior Aina, don't scare me."

"Calm down, calm down, this is just a possibility, isn't it? No matter how powerful a race is, it will decline. For example, the elves, who were once so powerful... Ahem, cough, forget it, let's not talk about these digressions. "

"Senior Aina." Seeing the right opportunity, I raised my hand and spoke: "Is there any necessary connection between what you just said and the method mentioned before?"

"No."

"Huh?" The little fox and I were both dumbfounded, feeling like we were being tricked again.

"I just want to tell you that we have found a way to continue the test place. We didn't understand it before. We could only passively pass the test and enter the Tianhu juniors here, so that they can be recognized by the test place and be passed down. Now that we have found the inheritance essence of the test place, we can save some tedious steps."

"What are the cumbersome steps you are talking about?"

"In other words, only a smaller number of partners are needed to maintain the operation and inheritance capabilities of the Test Place."

"Senior Aina, what you are saying is that we can now rest assured that some of the remnant souls of our ancestors can be freed without worrying that the place of testing will lose its ability to inherit. Is that what you mean?" The little fox's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows greatly. It jumped up with its beautiful tail wagging, looking excited.

"Hey, I originally wanted to tell you about this. It has nothing to do with the method I just mentioned. It's just to allow you to implement the plan with peace of mind and don't have to worry about losing the Sky Fox inheritance." Aina smiled slyly, feeling that we were again She set the pace and teased him for a while.

"Okay, we understand, we can do it with confidence and boldness, but it's still the same old problem, we don't understand, why is it a way to show affection?"

"Actually..." Aina Senbei said softly after thinking about it for a moment: "You probably don't know that apart from the most obvious remnant souls who are the first batch of remnant souls to enter the place of trial, the crazy ancestors and companions also have One obvious feature is that they have all had love, and some have even experienced the tragedy of Tianhu."

"So if we do this, won't it make them more crazy?"

"Hmm...how should I explain it? Maybe as you said before, it's a method of fighting fire with fire." Aina Senbei tilted her head and responded cutely.

"Isn't there a more peaceful way?"

"There is no way. Look at us, the remnant souls of the Sky Fox who are still normal. We know that we can free some of our partners and use fewer people to maintain the inheritance ability of the test place, but still no one can be freed, let alone Talking about those partners who have fallen into half madness or even complete madness."

"Why is this happening? We can obviously be relieved."

"Because our remnant souls have been instilled with too much sense of responsibility and mission by the deceased body, so much so that even if we know that we can let go of the heavy burden, we can't be relieved now." Aina Senbei sighed and said It makes us unbelievable, but we have to admit the fact that makes sense.

"Then why do you think that letting me and the little fox show affection can free them?"

"I didn't just take medicine without aim. It was precisely because of your stimulation and reminder in the past few years that I suddenly thought of this eccentric method. I discussed it seriously with my friends and got the approval of most of them. "

"So why?"

"You should know that apart from the famous Tianhu Qingshang, our Tianhu is most famous for being infatuated and single-minded. Once we identify the person we love, we will stay with him until death, right?"

"Although that's the case, when it comes out of your mouth, it feels like you're a bit self-proclaimed."

"Don't worry about the details." Aina smiled and brought up the topic in one stroke: "It is precisely because we Tianhu have such an infatuated character that everyone agrees that we can overcome the overly heavy responsibilities and missions that have been forcibly poured into our hearts. Yes, only..."

love! ! ! ! ! ! "

Looking at Aina who suddenly jumped onto the chair with great momentum, stepped on the stone table, and pointed her right hand at the sky at a 45-degree angle, the little fox and I were stunned.

Hey, is it a demon spirit? There is a Celestial Fox Fairy Shell here who suddenly made a mistake. Come here quickly, it's urgent.

"Ugh~~~Elder Wu Fan, you are thinking of something rude again, right?"

After coming back to her senses, Aina Senbei's charming and pretty face suddenly magnified in front of her. She completely jumped up on the stone table, with her hands on her hips, bending down condescendingly to look down, her cheeks bulging high, and she couldn't even blink. Blinking and staring at me.

"There's no such thing." I turned away guiltily.

"Aina-senpai, don't change the subject, and you too, don't be so upright, you idiot." Suddenly, the little fox pulled me away from Aina Senbei, and then protested angrily.
