Chapter 2060: Step by Step
Tao Tao, the clouded leopard, has long started to practice alone. Because his black fur is different from other clouded leopards, he, like Jin Xiang in his previous life, is ostracized by his other brothers and sisters.
Fortunately, apart from his fur, he had all the talents of the clouded leopard, and was even stronger than his other friends. So after practicing alone, he separated from the female leopard and started fighting alone, defining a training territory for himself.
Today, it was because a first-level gale wolf was eyeing his territory. Tao Tao didn't want to give up the place he had worked so hard to gain, so he fought with the gale wolf.
The Gale Wolf is named for its speed as fast as the wind. When fighting other monsters, it always wins with its speed. The Clouded Leopard is light in stature, has rough skin and thick flesh, and has a body of steel and iron bones. It is good at defense, so the two of them fight against each other. The fights come and go.
When Jinxiang touched the vicinity of the two fighting, the fight was already coming to an end. In the end, Tao Tao, the Clouded Leopard, was slightly better. With his steel and iron bones, he withstood the sharp claws of the Gale Wolf, and finally bit off the Gale Wolf's neck.
After Tao Tao defeated the Gale Wolf, he lay on the ground gasping for breath. At this moment, his ears moved. In the next breath, he opened his leopard eyes and stared at a tree not far away. He smelled the scent of other monsters.
Tao Tao thought that there were other monsters coming to take advantage of him, so even though he was seriously injured, he slowly stood up from the ground and assumed a fighting posture. At this time, he could not show weakness, otherwise the opponent would definitely take advantage of him.
Jinxiang knew the nature of his friend, so after attracting his friend's attention, he did not hesitate to walk out from behind the tree with a healing herb in his mouth, but he did not get too close to Tao Tao. After all, the two were not friends yet. .
Jinxiang spat out the spiritual grass at his feet and said cautiously:
"I am Jin Xiang, and I am also practicing in the Linglong Mountains. Can I make a deal with you?"
When Tao Tao saw that it was a small squirrel, which belonged to the bottom of the food chain in the Linglong Mountains, he calmed down his momentum, but he was still wary of the other person, his eyes drifting to the healing grass from time to time.
"What deal do you want to make?"
Seeing that Tao Tao didn't refuse, Jin Xiang knew there was a way, so he immediately said:
"This spiritual grass of mine can be given to you for healing, but I hope you can protect me and practice in the Linglong Mountains.
As long as you agree, I can find more elixirs that are more suitable for you in the future. In exchange, you must protect me from other monsters. "
After hearing this condition, Tao Tao stared at the little squirrel with wide eyes for a long time. He didn't see anything special about this thing that was only the size of his own paw.
Jinxiang knew that Tao Tao must have doubts. In order to establish a relationship with his good friend, he could only shake his head and reveal the golden hair on his forehead to prove that he had the strength to fulfill his promise.
After Tao Tao saw the golden hair of the little squirrel, he understood that this little guy was not simple and knew how to hide his clumsiness, so he nodded and said:
"Well, since you are so sincere, I agree. We will practice together in the future. As long as you don't provoke the big guys who are higher than me, I will definitely be able to protect you."
Jinxiang squeaked happily twice, then picked up the spiritual grass at his feet and brought it to Tao Tao.
Tao Tao was not polite and swallowed the spiritual grass in one gulp. After a while, the black fur on his body began to heal visibly to the naked eye.
Tao Tao shook the black fur on his body and then said to Jin Xiang:
"My name is Tao Tao, you can follow me from now on."
"Well, just call me Jinxiang. Please take good care of me in the future."
Jinxiang immediately narrowed his black eyes and said, and then asked with some uncertainty:
"Taotao, why is your fur black?"
Jinxiang remembers very clearly that Tao Tao was a white clouded leopard in his previous life.
Tao Tao flicked his tail carelessly and said:
"I have returned to my ancestors by blood, so I am black. I am much more powerful than other clouded leopards."
Tao Tao tried his best to put gold on his face. Anyway, atavism and mutation are just terms. It will definitely be no problem to fool the little squirrel. They are not the same species.
Jinxiang was really coaxed. He felt that Tao Tao had his own opportunity in this life, and he was very happy for him.
Tao Tao neatly took out the demon pill from Gale Wolf's belly, swallowed it in one gulp, and then walked back with Gale Wolf's body in his mouth.
Jinxiang chased after Tao Tao with all four claws. Finally, Tao Tao disliked his slow speed, wrapped Jinxiang with his tail, and together they returned to his home nest.
In the next month, Tao Tao refined the inner elixir of the Storm Wolf and the body of flesh and blood, bringing his cultivation level just shy of the second level.
Jinxiang was very happy for Tao Tao. He recalled all the treasures in the Linglong Mountains in his memory, and then selected a red fruit tree on the periphery.
The red fruit is about to mature, and there are only three of them. In the previous life, two first-level monsters fought over the fruit, and both were injured. A young Qi Refining monk who was practicing on the outside picked it up. This time, he decided to seize this opportunity for himself. In this way, not only can Tao Tao improve his cultivation, but he can also take a ride.
After confirming these, Jinxiang first went to check out the spot near the red fruit tree. There was a first-level peak green snake guarding the red fruit, waiting for it to swallow the red fruit when it matured and advance to the second level.
In his last life, the Green Snake was fought to death by a lizard beast, and the other party had already set his sights on this red fruit tree.

After Jinxiang confirmed that the position of the red fruit tree remained unchanged and would mature next month, he quietly returned to Taotao.
Taotao had been staying in his cave recently to consolidate his cultivation. He wanted to find other monsters to fight after his cultivation was stable to see if he could break through the second level in the battle.
Seeing that Jinxiang had been busy these two days, he asked curiously:
"Jinxiang, what have you been busy with these two days?"
Jinxiang felt that the time was right, so he told Taotao about his discovery of the red fruit tree.
Tao Tao was a little disappointed after hearing this:
"You think I didn't plan to take the red fruit tree? It's just that the green snake is too insidious and vicious. Any monster that gets close to it to guard the fruit tree will either be swallowed by it or bitten to death by it. The poison of that guy is very strong."
Jin Xiang shook his small round ears and said:
"We should be more careful this time. We should be able to succeed. I found a lizard beast that also set its sights on the red fruit tree these two days. I guess there will be a big fight between these two guys!
If we find the right time to take action, we can not only get the red fruit, but the two of them can also become your food."
Tao Tao's eyes lit up after hearing this. If this is the case, it is really worth a try.
"If that's the case, let's give it a try."
"Well, I'll be responsible for picking the fruits, and you'll be responsible for finishing off the green snakes and lizard beasts."
"Okay, we won't go out recently, and we'll stay here to conserve our energy."
The two finally waited until the red fruit ripened, with Taotao holding Jinxiang on his head, and then they quietly moved to the vicinity of the red fruit tree and hid.
When Jinxiang and Taotao arrived, the green snakes and lizard beasts were already biting each other.
