Stunningly beautiful young lady

Unlike them, who can only walk around, they can only watch helplessly as these taller creatures with threatening weapons grow.

Foxes with some strength can use their sharp claws and hard teeth to destroy these things, such as their leader.

"It's alright, I can manage."

Although these obstacles were a bit annoying, they didn't bother her. She hadn't wielded the Frost Sword for a few days, so she figured she might as well give it a good workout.

While they were still marveling, the leader continued speaking:

"Besides, it seems that no other road leads to that place, so we can only take you here, and we've been taking this route for many years."

After Su Qing cut away the obstacle and caught up with it, it continued talking as it walked forward.

"And when we get to the front, we won't be able to go any further because something is blocking our way."

“After we take you to the entrance of that place, you will have to go there by yourself.”

"Please hang in there a little longer. This fox prince with noble blood is also holding on. We should be there soon."

It was very embarrassed, but there really was no other way to go, so it had no choice but to let them make do.

It felt curious when it thought of the invisible barrier in front of it, wondering what was inside.

Previously, their habitat was not so wide; in addition to the forest where they lived, there were several surrounding mountains, plains, and small lakes all around.

They could pass through everything in sight, so they didn't see anything blocking their way.

However, ever since a woman came to them more than ten years ago, a place suddenly appeared that they could not go to, and the area of ​​the surrounding forest has also changed.

Many places they had never seen before appeared, and many places they were familiar with before disappeared.

However, it was only after the woman arrived and gave it a healing pill and other things that it was able to speak.

"We've come this far; we can't get any further."

The fox leader stopped at a place it knew very well, a place it had passed through countless times, so it knew exactly where it could not go any further.

Su Qing looked at the small black square door that blended into the mountain and became curious. Could this be the entrance to the mountain, and another magical place inside?

"Squeak."

I haven't tried this place many times. Once I almost smashed my head open but still couldn't get in.

A little fox stood in a corner, muttering to itself. It recalled what it had done before and suddenly felt that it had been a little silly.

The elders had clearly told it not to come here, and that it wouldn't be able to get in even if it came, but it stubbornly refused to listen and wouldn't turn back until it hit a brick wall.

And it wasn't just one that bumped into it; many other little foxes quietly came and tried to get behind the black door, but after discovering that they couldn't get in, they slowly gave up.

However, they all came secretly without telling anyone else, so they all thought they were the only ones who had tried it.

"Could this ring on my hand be the key?"

Su Qing looked at the old fox who had been the most excited when he first looked at her, and raised her hand again. At this moment, all the foxes saw the ring on her hand.

After hearing Su Qing's words, the old fox nodded heavily, and then the fox leader continued:

"Yes, our benefactor said this is the only key to this place, so please go ahead. The task she gave us has been completed."

"Thank you."

Su Qing thanked them for bringing her there.

Since that's the case, she decided to go inside and see what was waiting for her.

So, under the expectant gaze of a fox, she gently touched the black barrier with her hand, and to everyone's astonishment, her hand passed right through it.

"Squeak squeak!"

The foxes cried out in excitement upon seeing this.

"Quiet!"

Although the fox leader was also very excited, he tried his best to control the situation, otherwise all the fox cubs would have jumped up and down on the spot.

"Here's the payment, so we'll go in first."

Su Qing withdrew the half of her hand that had already entered, then took out a large pile of fruit from her Phoenix Ring and placed it on the ground. There were all kinds of fruit, ensuring that each little fox could get more than three.

The little foxes looked on with curiosity at these strange things. Before they even got close, a unique fragrance wafted into their noses.

"Thank you, kind person."

The leader fox looked at the various kinds of fruit and expressed its gratitude to Su Qing. These were all good things, and many of the foxes here had never eaten them before.

Su Qing didn't say anything more. She and Bai Ling turned around, waved gently to the group of little foxes, and then stepped into the black barrier, disappearing from the foxes' sight.

“Master, this place is completely different from the one we just visited. It’s completely bare here, with nothing at all.”

The scene changed completely after the man and the beast stepped in. The surrounding trees, thorns, and grass were gone, and they were standing on a patch of cracked earth.

When they turned around, the black barrier they had entered through had disappeared, and they were now in the very center of this location.

"This used to be a lake, but it has long since dried up."

Looking at the gap that could fit two fingers, and the area that was so large, Su Qing couldn't imagine what had happened here and why it had become like this.

"Does that mean there are no living creatures left here?"

Upon hearing her master say this, Bai Ling's two little brows immediately furrowed.

Because without water, small animals certainly wouldn't survive, and other plants would also die.

The two, one human and one beast, looked at the vast, seemingly endless space devoid of any signs of life and began to explore from one direction.

After all, the group of little foxes had just left this place as a place to store good things, so there must be something special here.

Otherwise, the phoenix ring in her hand wouldn't have been able to sense this place. After all, the phoenix ring is no ordinary object; there must be something in this place that is connected to her.
