C244 Skyfox
"It's said that a long time ago, there was a very special existence in the Spirit Fox Clan. It was precisely because of this existence that our weak Spirit Fox Clan was able to stock up until now."
Jiaang Yunfei said in a mysterious manner, but he stopped speaking halfway.
Although it was only a short sentence, it aroused Lin Rann's interest.
"I have heard of this legend when I was young, but the old man said that this kind of special existence only exists in legends, and they have never seen it before."
Su Lian seemed to have thought of something when she heard this and said.
"What is this existence?"
Lin Rann continued to ask.
Unexpectedly, Jiaang Yunfei and Su Lian only knew this much.
Helpless, Lin Rann could only ask Jiaang Yunfei to ask the people of Spirit Fox Clan to see if anyone knew the complete version of the legend.
After asking around, he found out that only the two of them knew about the legend.
Lin Rann and Jiaang Yunfei went to ask about the legend, while they went to the Compendium Pavilion of the family.
Not everyone could enter the family's Compendium Pavilion. Only by obtaining a certain level of authority could one enter and search for information.
The reason why this place was so strict seemed to be because a long time ago, there was an incident where the information was stolen.
Su Lian walked into the Compendium Pavilion and instantly, a book fragrance assaulted her face.
The books here were all refined from special materials. However, the fragrance of books was always maintained, allowing one to maintain a clear mind when reading.
Su Lian had only been to the Compendium Pavilion twice, and the last time was when she came here with her father to look for information.
"Hu ~ I never would have thought that when I entered here again, things and people have changed."
Su Lian let out a breath of impure air and then started to flip through the books in the Compendium Pavilion.
The books she was looking for were very special. Just by looking at the inventory, one could tell if it was the book she was looking for.
When she entered the library, Lin Rann and Jiaang Yunfei began to ask endlessly.
It was only after a full day that the two of them asked all the people of Spirit Fox Clan. Even the city protection army asked, but they didn't find anyone who knew about this legend.
Helpless, the two of them could only return to their respective residences.
At the same time, Su Lian had also finished looking through the information.
She did not return to her own room, but walked towards Lin Rann's room.
"Brother Lin, can I come in?"
After more than ten days of scolding, Su Lian had become unusually sensible.
"Come in."
After returning to his room, Lin Rann had yet to enter a state of cultivation when he was called back to reality by the melodious sound of bells outside the door.
Su Lian got permission to enter the room and gently closed the door behind her.
"Brother Lin, I went to the library again and found some information about legends."
Lin Rann did not say anything, but gestured for her to continue.
It turned out that a long time ago, there was not only one race in the Spirit Fox Clan. Every 50 years, a Skyfox would be born.
This Skyfox was specially created to protect the Spirit Fox Clan.
Furthermore, the lifespan of this Skyfox was very short. The longest was 50 years, and the shortest was only 10 years.
The reason why this Skyfox was said to be born to protect the Spirit Fox Clan was because the blood of this Skyfox could open the Spirit Fox Clan's great defensive formation.
This great defensive formation seemed to have existed since the birth of the Spirit Fox Clan.
The requirements to open this great defensive formation was extremely harsh. What was necessary was the blood of the Skyfox.
The Skyfox had been protecting the Spirit Fox Clan for a very long time. However, in recent years, there was no news of the Skyfox.
"Why is there such a good security measure? It has been lost in recent years, and now, not even a trace of it can be seen?"
Lin Rann was very puzzled in his heart. This kind of measure was very good, and it could also effectively protect the foundation of the Spirit Fox Clan. Up until now, no one had ever heard of this legend.
"All of this has to start from the battle of Skyfox 500 years ago."
The reason why the blood of the Skyfox was able to open up a defensive grand formation was not because of the Chosen One.
It was because they were a species that had been modified from their ancestors. Strictly speaking, they could not be considered as the Spirit Fox Clan.
However, because they were able to activate the defensive formation, the status of the Skyfox was very high in the Spirit Fox Clan.
Normally, they were provided with delicious food and drinks. Even if there was a small-scale war, they wouldn't be allowed to take action.
They would only use the Skyfox when there was a threat of extinction.
Opening the defensive grand formation required the blood of an entire Skyfox.
If there was no danger of extinction, the Skyfox would be able to live freely until it was fifty years old.
Once it was in danger of extinction, the Skyfox's lifespan would end ahead of time.
This was also the reason why the competition for the Skyfox took place five hundred years ago.
This kind of harsh opening conditions had been passed down from generation to generation, and only the clan head had passed it down from generation to generation.
All secrets, the Skyfox had no right to come into contact with them.
Until one day, a street full of Skyfox appeared in the Spirit Fox Clan.
This Skyfox did not work hard to cultivate like the previous Skyfox, in order to obtain a longer lifespan and better cultivation resources.
As for him, he wandered around aimlessly every day.
At that time, the Spirit Fox Clan's domain was much stronger than the current one. This street of Skyfox grew very quickly, and in just two short years, it had grown to the size of an adult Spirit Fox.
Because he was a Skyfox, the patriarch of the Spirit Fox Clan had granted him permission to enter and exit any place.
It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, but the Skyfox that was originally not fond of reading actually walked into the library day and night, neither eating nor drinking.
Just as all the people of the Spirit Fox Clan thought that he was going to change, he overheard the conversation between the previous patriarch and the current patriarch. It was also by coincidence that he overheard the conversation between the former patriarch and the current patriarch.
He found out that his lifespan was at most 50 years, and if there was a threat of extinction, he would have to sacrifice his lifespan to ensure the foundation of the Spirit Fox Clan.
Naturally, the Skyfox was unwilling to use his own life to save others. Therefore, the next day, he took a small gunny sack and walked into the Compendium Pavilion.2
In just one day, he had taken away more than half of the books in the library.
The succession of the clan head had to be recorded in the Compendium Pavilion.
It seemed that the banquet had been held for too long. The previous clan head and the current clan head had forgotten about this matter. It was only on the morning of the next day that they remembered that there was such a thing.
At the same time, they were still wondering why there was no one present at the banquet yesterday.
When the two of them entered the Compendium Pavilion, their hearts were filled with regret.
Because, at this moment, more than half of the books in the Compendium Pavilion had already been taken away by the street vendor's Skyfox.
As he was using a mini gunny sack, the Spirit Fox guards did not notice anything unusual.
