"Little Kesha, let me use your sword for a little bit."
Jiang Chen said to Kesha beside him.
"Oh."
Kesha did not ask any more questions and directly handed the sword to Jiang Chen.
After Jiang Chen took the sword, he walked step by step toward the little fox.
"Although I don't really have the heart, since it's Brother Chen's decision... I'm sorry, little fox."
When Kesha saw this from behind Jiang Chen, she thought that Jiang Chen was going to personally make a move when he saw that she was soft-hearted.
"Squeak, squeak..."
When the little fox saw this, she also thought that this human had come to kill her, and could not help but cry out in despair.
The little fox felt that her life as a fox was filled with tragedy.
She had lost her parents as soon as she was born.
Then, because she looked different from the other foxes, she was ostracized by all of her own kind.
The little fox was the same. It was born to ostracize these vicious foxes who only knew how to kill.
Since it hated its own kind, the little fox was ready to leave. However, it did not expect that these three-tailed foxes would not let it leave.
In order to prevent it from escaping, they even set up an iron cage to lock it up.
The little fox thought indifferently, 'Forget it. If I continue to live in fear, I might as well just die.'
"Kacha..."
With a swing of the sword, the iron cage broke.
"Squeak, squeak...?"
Just when the little fox thought that it was going to die, it suddenly realized that it was unharmed.
Moreover, the iron cage that was holding it was also cut open by a swing of the sword.
In the next moment, it realized that its body became lighter and it was then held in the arms of someone.
What caught its eyes was a handsome face.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak?"
The little fox cocked its little head and looked at the human in front of it in puzzlement. It was thinking in its heart, why did this human not kill it?!
"You little fellow, do you still wish for me to kill you? From now on, you can follow me."
Jiang Chen first handed the sword to Kesha, then poked the little fox's forehead with his finger in a bad mood.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
The little fox's face turned red. It was obvious that it was a little shy toward such an intimate action.
"Brother Chen, you asked for the sword from me. I thought you wanted to kill this little fox."
Kesha said with a smile after receiving the sword.
She felt relieved in her heart.
It would be a pity to kill such a cute little fox. Fortunately, Brother Chen had the same thoughts as her and held back from killing it.
"Your sword cuts through iron like mud. It's just right to cut through this iron cage."
"If I were to make a move, I'm afraid that I'll injure this little fox too violently."
Jiang Chen lightly scratched the little fox's tail as he spoke.
"Squeak, squeak..."
However, this scratch almost made the little fox jump up in shock, and then a trace of red appeared all over its body.
She looked white with a tinge of red.
"Is... is she shy? This little fox can't be a female, right?"
Jiang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the shivering little fox in his arms.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
To Jiang Chen's surprise, the little fox understood Jiang Chen's words and nodded very seriously.
Jiang Chen was completely speechless when he saw this. She really was a female.
However, the little fox's intelligence was truly extraordinary. It actually understood human speech.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore. It's too cute, too adorable. Brother Chen, let me give it a hug."
Little stars appeared in Kesha's eyes when she saw this. She had obviously been charmed by this little fox.
She could not help but walk over to Jiang Chen's side and stretch out her hand to hug the little fox.
Jiang Chen did not have any objections when he saw this.
'Mm, this fellow was a female, so there are no objections!
'If this was a male...
'Heheh, let's understand the Sunflower Bible first!'
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The little fox knew that Kesha and Jiang Chen had a close relationship, so she did not refuse.
She even stuck out her tongue and licked Kesha's cheek to show her intimacy.
"Hehehe, it's so itchy."
Kesha giggled and then used her face to rub against the little fox's snow-white body.
It was too cute!
"Brother Chen, let's give the little fellow a name."
Kesha suddenly said to Jiang Chen.
It did not seem good to keep calling the little fox a little fellow.
"Mm, we should indeed give it a name."
Jiang Chen nodded.
However, he was deep in thought.
Since it was a little fox, then it was very simple. He could directly give it the surname Su or Bai.
After all, the foxes of his past life had either the surname Bai or Su.
As for the name...
Got it!
It would called Bai Xin'er!
"Look at the little fellow's snow-white body and another female. Just call her Bai Xin'er."
Jiang Chen quickly decided on the little fellow's name.
"Bai Xin'er? Mm, that's a very nice name."
"Xin'er, do you like this name?"
Kesha looked at the little fox in her arms.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
The little fox hurriedly nodded, indicating that she liked it very much.
"Then it's settled. From now on, you'll be called Bai Xin'er, a member of our family."
Kesha giggled!
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Bai Xin'er was moved to tears when she heard Kesha's words.
She was naturally sharp and could sense the good and evil intentions of others. She knew that Kesha liked her from the bottom of her heart.
This made her, who had been wandering around aimlessly, feel at home.
"Let's rest here for the night. It happens to be a natural cave, and it's quite secretive."
Jiang Chen sized up his surroundings and spoke to Kesha.
"Mm, I'll listen to you, Brother Chen."
Kesha was busy teasing Bai Xin'er right now, so Jiang Chen had no objections to anything.
"You..."
Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, then tidied up the cave and took out a large bed.
This was something Jiang Chen had prepared from the start.
"It's my turn to keep watch tonight. You can sleep in peace."
The two took turns keeping watch.
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Brother Chen."
Kesha did not decline. She kept watch yesterday, so she was a little tired now.
It was better to maintain enough spirit in the desolate mountain range to prevent accidents.
Kesha played with Bai Xin'er for a bit more before falling asleep sweetly.
"Come here."
Jiang Chen waved at Bai Xin 'er when he saw that Kesha had fallen asleep.
Bai Xin'er walked lightly to Jiang Chen's side when she saw this, and then jumped into his arms.
"Little fellow, you can keep watch with me tonight."
Jiang Chen said softly.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Bai Xin'er nodded and laid on Jiang Chen's lap.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen began to circulate the Origin Devourer technique and absorb the magic elements, hoping to break through to the second stage of the apprentice level as soon as possible.
"Squeak..."
When Jiang Chen was absorbing the magical elements, Bai Xin'er raised her head in shock.
She discovered that several hundred times more magical elements had suddenly appeared around Jiang Chen.
Although she did not know why, Bai Xin'er quickly closed her eyes, and her entire body rose and fell.
The magical elements around Jiang Chen could be seen with the naked eye, bit by bit, entering Bai Xin'er's body.
At the same time, Bai Xin'er's aura was also increasing bit by bit.
It did not take long for Bai Xin'er to clearly feel that her strength had doubled.
She immediately changed into a comfortable position and continued to lie on Jiang Chen's lap, beginning to absorb the magical elements of Heaven and Earth.
Jiang Chen had no idea that his training would actually have such a great effect on Bai Xin'er.
He continued to absorb the surrounding magical elements without listening.
At this moment, his absorption of magical elements had increased by 410 times.
It was a good thing that every time he absorbed magical elements, there was a system to cover it up.
Otherwise, such a terrifying rate of absorption of magical elements would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding fierce beasts.
The night quickly passed.
Kesha slowly opened her eyes, then yawned loudly and stretched her back.
'Little Kesha's awake. Let's begin the breakthrough then.'
Jiang Chen thought to himself when he sensed the movement behind him.
He discovered that he was on the verge of breaking through last night.
However, when he thought of Kesha sleeping, would it not be terrible if a ferocious beast attacked him once he broke through?
Moreover, even the little fellow Bai Xin'er had fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.
Therefore, Jiang Chen could only temporarily suppress it.
Now that Kesha had woken up, Jiang Chen did not need to suppress it anymore.
"Boom..."
A violent aura erupted from Jiang Chen's body.
The surrounding magical elements surged into his body even more wildly than before.
"Crack..."
One of the shackles in his body had been broken, and Jiang Chen's aura grew stronger once more.
He knew that he had advanced, and was now at the level of a second level apprentice.
"Brother Chen has broken through!"
Kesha had just woken up to see this scene and muttered in surprise.
She entered the level of a second level apprentice a little earlier than Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen had broken through to the second level a step earlier than she had.
This caused Kesha to feel a little depressed.
She was still at least a week away from breaking through to the second stage of the apprentice.
"Creak..."
As Jiang Chen's breakthrough ended, the magical elements that had gathered around him began to slowly disperse.
Bai Xin'er, who felt the dense magical elements disappear, also opened her eyes and looked around her in confusion.
"Hehe, Xin'er, your silly and cute appearance is too cute."
However, Bai Xin'er did not have time to react before she felt her body lighten up.
Then, she was hugged by Kesha and rubbed against her with all her might.
"Let's go and continue our hunting trip."
Jiang Chen stood up and dusted off the dust on his body as he spoke. His main mission for this trip had not been completed yet.
He set himself a small goal before he set off, to earn a hundred million star dollars!
One hundred million star dollars was an extremely difficult task for a trainee.
However, it was much easier for an Elite Mage practitioner.
Although Jiang Chen was not an Elite Mage, his magic elements were no different from an ordinary Elite Mage.
Moreover, his magic elements had increased even more now that he had broken through to the second level of the apprentice realm.
Jiang Chen could sense without testing that his basic magic elements had gone from 150,000 to 200,000 manas and 50,000 basic magic elements meant that Jiang Chen's peak magic elements had gone from 600,000 to 800,000 manas.
600,000 manas was already invincible against three-star fierce beasts, let alone 800,000 manas?
Therefore, Jiang Chen was even more of a dire beast than a dire beast in the following period of time. He searched for top three-star and high-level dire beasts to kill in the desolate mountains.
