When Lu Qing heard that familiar scratching sound, he could hardly believe his ears.
Didn't Dr. Chen say that his medicine powder was so effective that even jackals would avoid it if they smelled it?
Why is this guy here again?
Lu Qing was on the verge of collapse.
Is he unable to sleep again tonight?
This can't go on. If he doesn't get this sorted out, he's afraid he won't be able to sleep well in the future.
Unable to sleep well for two consecutive nights, Lu Qing's temper became a bit irritable.
He wanted to see what kind of thing had such audacity.
Lu Qing crept to the door with the stick by the bed, then suddenly flung open the latch and opened the door.
This sudden movement clearly startled everything outside.
A dark figure darted out of the courtyard in an instant.
Since awakening his superpower, Lu Qing's eyes have undergone some subtle changes.
First, his eyesight improved significantly; he could see things clearly even from a great distance.
Secondly, he is also very perceptive of light sources.
Although he can't see in the dark yet, he can see about 70-80% of things with just a little light.
At this moment, with the help of the bright moonlight, Lu Qing could see clearly what had been troubling him for the past two nights.
It was a small black beast.
It is two feet long, looks like a cat or a leopard, and has two big eyes that are like light bulbs.
At this moment, the black beast's fur was somewhat fluffy, its tail was raised, its limbs were lowered, and it was looking at Lu Qing warily with its fur standing on end.
After seeing the black beast clearly, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the little beast didn't look very big, and it didn't appear to be the ferocious type.
That makes sense. The guy who was scared away by the banging on the door last night and didn't dare to come back all night must not be very brave.
For some reason, the little black beast didn't run away this time; it just kept its body low and kept watching Lu Qing.
Lu Qing stood quietly facing it, without rashly trying to drive it away.
He wanted to use his special ability to find out information about the little beast first before making a decision.
Lu Qing tried to remain calm, her gaze fixed on the little beast.
However, his eyes widened in surprise very quickly.
A faint red light emerged from the mysterious little beast.
【Black Night Spirit Fox: A mountain spirit beast, juvenile, female.】
【Extremely fast, with sharp claws capable of crushing stone and splitting gold.】
【Legend has it that the Night Spirit Fox loves to eat fish, but is born with an aversion to water, and can only sigh longingly at the sight of fish.】
A beast at the level of red light?!
Lu Qing almost jumped up in surprise.
The supernatural light emanating from this mysterious little beast had actually reached the red light level.
Wouldn't that make him the same level as Dr. Chen?
No wonder the medicine powder didn't work.
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Qing tried to calm himself down.
A feeling of relief suddenly welled up inside me.
Fortunately, he didn't make any rash moves.
I never expected this little thing to be a red-level spirit beast.
And what does the note that appeared say?
Extremely fast! Its claws can shatter rocks and split gold!
With such exaggerated destructive power, even tigers and leopards might not be able to match it, right?
Luckily, this little beast is timid; otherwise, it would probably be lying on the ground by now.
Lu Qing discreetly hid the stick behind his back and revealed an innocent smile.
"Little one, did you come here wanting to eat fish?"
The little black beast continued to watch Lu Qing warily, seemingly not understanding what he was saying.
Lu Qing didn't expect a wild beast to understand his words.
He moved quietly, trying not to frighten the little black beast, and quickly took out two pieces of dried fish from the kitchen.
When Lu Qing appeared at the door with the fish, he clearly saw that the little black beast's eyes seemed to light up for a moment.
Sure enough, this guy came for the fish.
Lu Qing recalled the description in the third note from earlier.
He held the fish up in front of him and waved it around.
"I'm sorry, I startled you just now. These two pieces of fish are my apology to you."
The black beast's eyes, like light bulbs in the night, followed the fish pieces as they swayed from side to side.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing felt reassured.
"Take it."
He threw the fish pieces into the yard, deliberately throwing them a little further away from the black beast to avoid provoking it.
The fish pieces landed on the ground, startling the little beast, which took a few steps back and stared intently at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing did not move, standing quietly in place.
Seemingly sensing that Lu Qing had no intention of attacking, the black beast's bristling fur subsided somewhat.
It looked at the fish pieces on the ground, twitched its nose a few times, and suddenly moved.
Lu Qing only saw a black shadow flash by, and the next moment, the fish pieces on the ground had disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the little beast's figure leaped over the fence and quickly disappeared into the night fog.
After waiting quietly for a while and confirming that the little beast had left, Lu Qing closed the door and returned to his room.
Once she lay in bed, Lu Qing's heart could no longer be controlled and began to pound violently.
There was no other way; the situation just now was truly dangerous.
Although the little black beast seemed rather timid, who knows if it might attack someone if provoked?
As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
Moreover, that wasn't a rabbit, but a spirit beast with powerful attack capabilities!
Its claws are so sharp they can shatter rocks and split gold!
It can tear apart even metal and stone, let alone flesh and blood.
Therefore, Lu Qing really dared not provoke it.
Fortunately, this little black beast was not only timid, but also not aggressive.
Otherwise, it's questionable whether Lu Qing would have survived.
"How come I've never heard anyone in the village mention such a powerful beast?"
After calming down, Lu Qing had a question in her mind.
He then recalled the description on the note that his supernatural abilities had revealed.
The little animal looks like it's still a cub. Could its parents be nearby?
Probably not. If its parents were nearby, they would probably have come to its door in a group by now.
Lu Qing hadn't forgotten that the note also mentioned that the Night Spirit Fox loved to eat fish.
That means they migrated from other places, were driven away by their parents, or had an accident with their parents?
Lu Qing made several guesses, but none of them made sense.
However, he had a feeling that the little black beast would probably come back to him after tonight.
There was no basis for it; he just had this premonition.
"It seems I can't give up fishing after all."
Lu Qing thought with a hint of helplessness.
He had originally planned to put fishing on hold and devote himself fully to studying medicine.
After all, once Doctor Chen sells the Red Moon Carp, he will have a considerable sum of money, enough to ensure that he and Xiao Yan will live a worry-free life for quite some time.
But now that this little black beast has latched onto him, he has no choice but to change his plans.
That's a red-level spirit beast, not one he can afford to offend. For now, he can only try to appease it.
"What kind of mess is this?!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
