Chapter 191: White Fox!
“Screech!”
“Ahahahahaha…”
The torches illuminated a huge cave that had a width of more than six hundred and fifty-six feet. Skulks of white and red fox monsters with the bodies of humans surged forward. They played around with each other in the cave and let out various piercing and alluring giggles. They were demonic sounds that became layeredd when they entered human ears, and it made those who heard them uneasy.
Most of the red fox monsters were vixens. They had curvaceous, enchanting, and tempting bodies. When they sashayed about, their curves could be seen clearly. Those with slightly weaker willpower might have their thoughts led astray and be surrounded immediately.
The figures of the white foxes were as graceful as those of vixens, but they were all male. Their eyes were long, narrow, and cold. When they swept their gazes around the area, they gave off a bone-chilling might, and the people who saw them at first glance would know that their power was far greater.
At the moment Happy entered Fox Cave, he immediately saw everything in the cave.
Among the hundreds of Blessed Realm vixens were more than sixty White Foxes. Their numbers were great, and they were playing around dozens of feet away.
When Happy entered, there were only seven to eight vixens nearby.
They looked over with gentle and alluring gazes and let out coquettish giggles while smiling sweetly. They then quickly moved over with their body movements, which made them look like phantoms.
Even though they were only normal Blessed Realm monsters, under the effect of Great Phantasm Matrix in Fox Cave, their abilities were increased to a great extent, and they also possessed high-tier martial arts and high-tier lightness skills that ordinary NPCs did not have. Their real bodies and afterimages would overlap with each other repeatedly, causing normal players to be unable to handle even a single one of them. They had to win by numbers.
“Careful!”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone was the next person to follow Happy into Fox Cave. He was the person who knew the most about it in the party. When he saw that Happy had instantly attracted eight vixens’ attention, his eyelids twitched. The moment he whispered a warning, he got ready to reduce some of the pressure on Happy.
An arm shot sideways and blocked his path. He was stopped.
“Don’t do anything yet. I can handle it,” he said calmly.
His understanding of Fox Cave was even greater and deeper than that of All-powerful Medicinal Stone.
Even though All-powerful Medicinal Stone had entered Fox Cave multiple times, he should not have been one of the few who entered it first, so he did not quite understand what went on inside.
As long as he went forward, he would definitely break the peace among the large group of fox monsters in the distance. At that time, it would become truly troublesome. Hundreds of fox monsters would surge toward them, and unless his qi realm was at Life and Death Realm, his high-tier body fortification technique had reached Grandmaster Realm, or he had mastered All-direction Agility, which was the second stage high-tier skill of Wind Spirit Spin, it would be very difficult for him to survive.
However, if there were only eight vixens, Happy believed that he could handle the situation.
Whoosh!
The first vixen charged over like a phantom at a speed faster than the wind. The stink of a fox, which rose because it was in heat, wafted into their noses, and made them frown at the same time, but no one moved. The trio stood behind Happy quietly and watched how he would respond.
Whoosh!
Heavenly Fox Claw!
Five red claw marks tore through the air and formed a long arc which was unique to high-tier martial arts. The fox swept her claws at Happy’s head, and her gentle face finally revealed a hint of ferocity that exposed her brutal nature.
“Hmph!”
He stretched out his right arm and moved his arm right in between the vixen’s claws. He attacked first and seized the vixen’s furry shoulder like an agile snake. His fingers sank deep into her shoulder and instantly broke down her strength. He twisted his grip, and the vixen cried out in pain before she was flung to Thunderous Battle, who was behind Happy.
Clang!
Thunderous Battle had entered combat mode since a long time ago, and when he saw the vixen’s body fly toward him, he tensed up and reflexively drew his sword from its sheath.
“Ah!”
When her field of vision changed, the vixen discovered that she was about to come face-to-face with a piercing white sword glare. She could only scream in shock before her mind was destroyed.
Happy did not stop for even half a second. When he flung away the first vixen, his body was struck by two others!
Clang!
He did not activate Golden Bell Cocoon fully, but the vixens’ attacks were still only striking what sounded like a huge thousand-year-old bell. It let out a dull bell chime, and Happy did not even move. This was only natural though. If Golden Bell Cocoon could be affected by Blessed Realm monsters, it would not deserve the title of a high-tier body fortification technique.
When they did not manage to kill him, the two vixens faced the same fate as their companion. One of them had multiple bloody holes punctured into her flesh by All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who delivered a number of thrusts flashing brightly at difficult angles from behind Happy. The other had a few foul-smelling wounds torn through her flesh by Little North’s Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms.
Once the two vixens’ abilities fell dramatically, they slowed down. Their throats were easily seized by Happy, and as they struggled, their bones let out a crack and shattered.
Three vixens had died right away.
The remaining five vixens instantly became much easier to handle.
In the beginning, Little North and Thunderous Battle were a little nervous, but at that moment, they sighed in relief, but only slightly. Happy’s actions that allowed him to swiftly kill their enemies made them see hope, and they felt that Fox Cave was not as dangerous as the rumors depicted.
Only All-powerful Medicinal Stone found it strange.
He had entered Fox Cave some seven times, and every single time he entered, he always found it difficult to hit the White Foxes and Red Foxes even when he went up against them in a one-on-one battle.
It was very difficult to accurately attack the fox monsters’ real bodies when they had the illusory bodies of humans formed around them, and he definitely could not do what he did right then. He had never been able to easily injure them before.
However, when Happy attacked, he gave All-powerful Medicinal Stone the feeling that he was very experienced in this. Every time he attacked, he could seize the vixens’ weaknesses as if he could see through the illusory bodies. His attacks never missed, and every single one of them was fatal!
However, All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not dare to let down his guard, because there were still hundreds of fox monsters nor far from them, and they were the greatest ticking time-bombs in Fox Cave!
If they really wanted to survive in Fox Cave, they had to get rid of the eight vixens who had been alarmed within the shortest amount of time and leave the wide cave to avoid igniting the ticking time-bomb before them.
Happy withstood the attacks of five vixens safely using Golden Bell Cocoon and his Yellow Dragon Set. Not only did he not fall under their swift attacks, he used the crazy speed of Stormy Shadowless Kick and Wind Spirit Spin to counterattack and suppress them, which made All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Happy, I’ll temporarily lure away the fox monsters in front. The three of you will need to immediately rush into the tunnel to the left.”
“Alright!”
The three of them nodded at the same time.
Happy did not even need to look to know that there was a hidden tunnel to the left and right of the cave in the space between them and the large skulk of fox monsters. The tunnel to the left was closer, less than one hundred feet away.
As long as they could rush into the narrow tunnel, they would be able to drastically reduce the number of fox monsters they had to face, and the threat the skulk posed would be largely reduced. Their group’s chances of survival would increase right away.
However, the tunnels were closer to the fox monsters than they were to them. If they were slightly careless, a large skulk of fox monsters would block the tunnel to the left and surround them. All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s suggestion was very good. He had the best lightness skill among them. If he attracted their attention and lured them to another side, he would be able to fight for a sliver of a chance for them.
The five vixens soon died in Happy’s hands, and they returned to being normal foxes with red fur.
“Go!”
With a low shout, All-powerful Medicinal Stone moved twenty-six feet forward like a ghost. He instantly attracted the attention of the large skulk of fox monsters in the distance. They instantly raised a commotion.
Happy, Little North, and Thunderous Battle did not hesitate. They used their fastest speed to dash to the tunnel to the left.
But unfortunately for them, there was still a small skulk of fox monsters at the edge that noticed them. They changed their direction and headed toward them.
What caused the trio to be even more tense was that another skulk of fox monsters had also charged out from the tunnel to the left. Two White Foxes with cold gazes led them.
‘Not good!’
