In the days of surviving in the fairy forest

"You are a good fox," said the Legged Rabbit earnestly after receiving the snack package, after thinking about it, he added, "Although all foxes are bad foxes to us—"

"But you are the cub of the Black Firefox," the other legged rabbit was afraid that his companion would offend Rick, so he hurriedly interrupted, "The brave Black Firefox who took the magic core from Phoenix Mountain is the pride of the forest animals!"

In the noisy football field, the little fox who keenly recognized the key words was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask, the leg rabbits had already hopped and ran away, and the animals lined up behind were still waiting eagerly for him to continue sending. Snacks, this delay, he was never able to find the two-legged rabbit again.

"The Xuanhuox family took away the magic core that belonged to the inspectors," briefly recounting what happened in the afternoon, Rick raised his head and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, "so this is the reason why the inspectors want to exterminate the clan ?"

"Magic core!" Ali's eyes widened, and he finally remembered where he had heard this very familiar term, "When we came back from the Bear Forest, we met those inspectors in the cave. What did you say that the phoenix fruit can attract magic cores when it matures!"

"The inspector doesn't have a magic core now," Rick thought in distress. "Where did the magic core go?"

"So it is said that Phoenix Mountain is like spring all the year round, but the current Phoenix Mountain is not like this, because there is no magic core!" Ah Li suddenly realized.

The two of them were discussing enthusiastically, but the fat guy sitting on the tip of the fox's tail didn't say a word, scratching his head a little guilty, wanted to speak a few times, but then closed his mouth silently.

Until the little fox looked at him quietly.

"You must know something." Rick said firmly.

Fatty: "..."

He sighed helplessly.

"What I'm talking about is just a guess, not sure if it's true or not," Fatty emphasized.He looked around vigilantly and saw no animals hiding to eavesdrop, and then continued, "The word magic core was passed on by the inspectors. You can regard the magic core as the fruit of the forest..."

No one knows when the inspectors got the magic core. According to them, this is "a gift from the forest to the inspectors".All in all, after getting the magic core, the inspectors acted more and more unscrupulously, and finally even asked all the races in the forest to bow down to them, and each race gave them a lot of food every year.

The Black Firefox family, who had a deep grudge with the long-tailed lizard because of picking flame grapes, was also targeted by the inspectors after the long-tailed lizard joined the inspectors.The Examiners even demanded that they sacrifice the cubs of their race as punishment for disrespecting the Examiners.

"Speaking of which, at that time many races were asked to send their cubs to Phoenix Mountain," Pang Pang sighed, "The blue antelope race, the cotton ball sheep race and other big races were not spared... Everyone knows that they have bad intentions, but for the sake of The continuation of the race can only be forced to obey."

But the Xuanhuox tribe is not so easy to talk to.On the surface, they complied with the request of the inspectors, but in fact they secretly set fire to it after entering Phoenix Mountain, and then took advantage of the chaos to steal the magic core that the inspectors regarded as a treasure.

The inspector, who realized that he had been tricked, was furious, and raided the residence of the Xuanhuohu family overnight. The Xuanhuohu who were in a hurry to move and prepare to leave, still failed to escape the catastrophe.

"However, the inspectors shouldn't have left anyone alive, especially the cubs—I suspect that you can survive because of the power of the core of magic."

When talking about the past, Pangpang’s expression was very serious, but after he finished speaking, he saw the little fox’s stupid and terrified appearance with his ears pricked up, and couldn’t help laughing, and complained about him unceremoniously:

"Please, when you and Ali are in winter, when you encounter a hurricane, you will be swept to Phoenix Mountain, where ordinary animals can't get in. The Phoenix flower that has not produced fruit for several years will bear Phoenix fruit when it meets you, and you will eat it on your own initiative. Drop—you don’t think it’s your luck, do you?”

Rick scratched his ear in embarrassment.

He really felt that he was super lucky!

So, Phoenix Fruit chose not him, but the magic core?

"Your whimsical ideas and all kinds of magical inventions, I think, may also be related to the core of magic." Fatty had an idea, "Maybe it is the core of magic that makes you smart!"

"Oh yes, there are also those stories—maybe they are real stories recorded by the magic core, imprinted in your subconscious, so you can tell them as if you have really seen them!"

Pangpang's thinking diverged, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

"So there really is Yangcun, Big Big Wolf and Wolf Castle. The core of the magic is to let you build a big animal family like Qingqing Grassland in the forest! Hehe, we have completed the step of building Wolf Castle, we are awesome! "

Rick: "..."

He almost laughed out loud.

What does it have to do with the magic core? It's obviously because he is a time traveler.

Wait——his inexplicable time travel, could it be the magic core?

The little fox wagged its tail, lost in thought.

Fatty cleared his throat, seeing the little fox stopped talking, he stretched out his claws to poke him, his tone was much gentler: "Hey, don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past."

He just felt that it would be too cruel for the little fox to revisit the extermination of Xuanhuox's genocide. In addition, the matter of the magic core is just a guess. Why and how it can be fused with the little fox, will there be any negative effects? It's still unknown, so I kept silent.

Rick tilted his head, and felt that it was pointless to think about it—no matter where the magic core was, whether it was really fused with him, anyway, it was done, and he couldn't get it out if he wanted to, so it's better to ignore it.

Ali jumped on top of the fox's head and patted his ears: "The magic core that can make the entire Phoenix Mountain like spring all the year round, in Rick's place, it just attracts the phoenix fruit? I don't think it's right."

"So it's just a guess," Fatty shrugged, "I don't know what the real situation is."

Even the inspector, who has been in contact with the core of magic for the longest time, has no clue, and can only hope to use Phoenix Fruit to attract and look for the cubs of the Black Fire Fox. How could he, a cute and innocent little chubby, know.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Rick bid farewell to the brown jackal clan, and ran to the mountain grape forest with a few wolf cubs who were going to herd cattle.

Although he didn't intend to get entangled in the core of magic anymore, he still asked some animals like Calabash Baboon King and Zhuyi who might know about it, and the result he got was similar to what Fatty said—they all knew about Black Fire Fox stealing the core of magic , and have no clue about where the magic core will go after that.

"Maybe it was hidden by Xuanhuohu?" Calabash Baboon King speculated, "Maybe he just dug a hole and buried it. After all, Xuanhuohu doesn't need this thing."

"Don't think about these sad things anymore," Zhuyi patted the fox's head, afraid that he would be sad, and took out a piece of bamboo tube like a magic trick, "Bamboo tube milk cake with strawberry jam, let's eat together!"

"Rick, come and taste this forest candy cake!" Baby Shi Mengxiong also ran over happily, "It's delicious!"

He taught the snow wolf to play football with other cubs all day in the mountain grape forest, and only then did he earn the snacks bought with sand dollars. After a long time, he didn't want to eat them, so he planned to share them with the foxes and squirrels!

Rick nodded in surprise.Although he didn't want to steal the cub's food, but he also didn't want to disappoint the cub's kindness. He picked up a small fork, scooped out a small piece of candy cake, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and then boasted: " tasty!"

"It's really delicious," he licked his mouth, aftertaste for a moment, and asked curiously about the recipe of this candy cake, "What are the ingredients, this is too delicious."

Baby Shi Mengxiong clapped its paws happily: "It's cream, sweet fruit, honey and chocolate! I also think this is the most delicious pastry in the whole forest!"

"...Chocolate," Rick lay down weakly on the spot, "Ah Li, where are you?"

The squirrel sitting on the table waved its paw angrily: "This is the third time you 'eat' chocolate by mistake this week! If this continues, I, I will—"

"I just" for a long time, the squirrel didn't think of how to punish the little fox who loved to die, and finally just pulled the fox's tail depressedly, and stuffed a piece of sweet honey cheese cake into Rick's mouth.

After the football league, the delicious food of the mountain grape grove has become famous. The animals living nearby also come to exchange sand coins and buy snacks from time to time. It is very lively every day.

The animals in the nearby forests used to eat half of the fruits and waste the other half. In the end, many overripe fruits rotted on the trees, but now, everyone is scrambling to pick the fruits.

Gourd Baboon King used to think that the price of one sand dollar per basket of fruit was a bit high, but he never thought that within a few days, the fruit in the open space of the mountain grape forest would pile up like a hill.

They were not in a hurry, and used the method taught by Rick to make dried fruits and jams and put them in bamboo tubes, which not only could be stored for a longer period of time, but could also be sold to other animals in small shops.

Rick and Ali were idle in the stone house, and after completing their daily exercise tasks, they went to the mountain grape forest to help.In the middle of the afternoon, the hot summer sun was shining, the little fox yawned sleepily, and was about to take a nap on the rock, when he saw two snow wolf cubs in the bushes out of the corner of his eye.

The snow wolf cubs looked enviously at the brown jackals who came back from grazing cows and munched on snacks, flicked their tails behind them, and tried hard to control the saliva that was approaching their mouths.

Looking at the frost-covered bushes in front of them, the little fox's eyes lit up, and he trotted over, clawing one by one, and hugging the heads of the two wolf cubs.

"Want to earn some snack money?" He smiled, "I have a task for you~"

How can there be no cool ice drinks in summer!
