Chapter 604

Han Li followed at the very end, not in a hurry to land. Seeing the others taking the miasma-dispelling medicine, he could not help but smile slightly.

With his body that had undergone marrow washing, the miasma was naturally expelled cleanly with every breath.

At this time, the group descended to a low altitude of only ten or so zhang from the ground and began to fly toward the center of the basin.

"That demon fox is extremely clever. If we want to catch it, we only have one chance. So we must find a wide place where it cannot escape to set up the formation. Not far ahead, there is a flat piece of solid mud. That way, we don't have to worry about it burrowing into the silt and running away." Senior Brother Wang said with confidence. It seemed he had long since planned this matter in his heart.

The others had always followed this Senior Brother Wang, so naturally, they would not have any objections. And Han Li had been smiling without a word.

After a short while, the five of them flew to a flat area covered in lush green grass. Further away, there were some sparse, low-lying shrubs.

This time, without waiting for Senior Brother Wang to speak, Kui Cai Huan and the others consciously landed on the grass and began to examine the surroundings.

After some discussion, Kui Cai Huan walked to the middle of the grass and dug a small hole. Then, he carefully took out the yellow essence he had bought from the market from his storage bag, buried half of it in the hole, left half exposed above the ground, and sprinkled some loose soil on it to make it look more natural.

Immediately, a faint medicinal fragrance spread out.

"Good, that's it. The Snow Cloud Fox's sense of smell is very sensitive; with the medicinal properties of this fifty-year-old yellow essence, even if it hides three feet underground, it will come looking for it itself. By the way, Junior Brother Han, keep this Lost-Track flag safe." Kui Cai Huan stood up, patted his hands with satisfaction, and then, as if remembering something, took out a white formation flag from his storage bag and handed it to Han Li.

Han Li nodded and took the small flag with a normal expression. At this time, Senior Brother Wang began to instruct everyone.

"Everyone, stand in position at a high altitude in a moment. As soon as the demon fox appears, listen to my signal and throw down the formation flags at the same time to temporarily trap the entire grass area with an illusion formation. I believe that since the demon fox has only recently advanced to a demon beast, it cannot break the formation and escape." Senior Brother Wang said with a solemn expression.

The others nodded repeatedly in agreement.

So the few of them flew up on their magic tools again, floating motionless at an altitude of fifty or sixty zhang, and then each cast a rough invisibility spell to cover their figures while holding the formation flags.

Involving such a large sum of spirit stones, Kui Cai Huan and the others were naturally nervous, staring at the ground below without blinking.

Even Senior Brother Wang himself had bright eyes and a solemn expression.

In comparison, Han Li was naturally the most relaxed. He held the white formation flag in one hand, with the other hand lightly behind his back, his gaze scanning the surroundings very casually.

But in reality, Han Li's spiritual sense had already enveloped a range of several hundred zhang; if there was any disturbance, he would definitely be the first to know.

As a result, the place instantly became silent, without the slightest sound in the surroundings.

More than an hour later, there was no movement at all.

Kui Cai Huan stood on his magic tool and moved his somewhat sore neck, a look of impatience appearing on his face.

He glanced at Senior Brother Wang, wanting to say something with hesitation, but after a second thought, he kept his mouth shut.

After all, to catch that demon fox, waiting a little longer didn't seem like anything to complain about.

After another half an hour passed, just as most people were waiting with restless hearts, Han Li, who was standing motionless on his magic tool, had a change in expression, his eyes suddenly looking toward a nearby shrub.

And Kui Cai Huan could no longer endure it; he licked his lips and wanted to say something to the others.

But just at this moment, Han Li's cold voice reached his ears.

"Be careful, the spirit fox has arrived. It's hiding in the shrubs to the west. Don't startle it away." Kui Cai Huan was shocked upon hearing this and immediately closed his lips tightly. At the same time, he scanned downward and looked toward the west.

The other three also heard Han Li's voice transmission.

Like the short, chubby man, they looked at the western shrubs in astonishment, but found no abnormalities, and could not help but be skeptical. But their originally relaxed minds suddenly became vigilant.

After waiting for the time it takes to eat a meal, in the surprised and happy eyes of the few, a small beast about a foot in size, covered in snow-white fur, walked out from the shrubs on one side.

It looked back with every step, its fluffy little head looking left and right from time to time. Extremely cute!

This scene caused the hearts of the other four to rise. At the same time, they gripped the formation flags in their hands tightly, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The white fox did not discover the five people above its head; seeing that there was nothing unusual around, its courage finally grew a bit.

Its pair of emerald green eyes began to stare at the yellow essence in the distance, and its four limbs walked slowly and quietly toward it.

However, when it walked to a distance of ten or so zhang from the yellow essence, it suddenly stopped, its small pink nose sniffing fiercely, a look of doubt flashing in its fox eyes, as if it had discovered something.

This situation made Senior Brother Wang above unable to sit still. He shouted "Do it!" and the formation flag in his hand turned into a yellow light and was thrown down fiercely.

Han Li and the others heard this and did not hesitate, throwing down the items in their hands at the same time, and several types of incantations sounded simultaneously.

Five rays of light of different colors touched the ground and immediately turned into invisible earth and entered.

A large patch of yellow mist was born out of thin air around the grass, immediately blocking the surroundings tightly, and the Five Elements Lost-Track formation was formed instantly.

The Snow Cloud Fox in the formation saw this scene and naturally knew it had fallen into a trap.

Immediately, after a few shrill cries of panic, its figure flashed, turning into a white light and diving into the yellow mist, wanting to find a way to escape.

Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Wang and the others in the sky were relaxed, with no signs of anxiety.

Because as soon as this white fox entered the illusion formation, it was immediately confused by the illusions created by the yellow mist and could only spin in place, completely unable to walk out of this formation.

They were naturally happy to wait for the beast to be exhausted before capturing the spirit fox alive.

Just as the few felt that this operation was a complete success and everyone was beaming with joy.

After the little fox ran in the yellow mist for a short while, its figure suddenly swayed a few times, and it fell to the ground, never standing up again.

At this, Kui Cai Huan and the others were greatly shocked and could not help but look at each other.

But Senior Brother Wang's expression sank, and he said calmly:

"Do not withdraw the restrictions; we will continue to maintain the formation. Junior Brother Ma, you go down and see what's going on. This Lost-Track formation can only trap enemies, not hurt people. This fox beast is cunning by nature and is mostly likely just playing dead."

He warned the short, chubby young man carefully.

Hearing this, the hearts of the other three were slightly relieved, and the young man surnamed Ma went down without a word.

And Han Li curled the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at this person with a look that was not quite a smile, and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Don't look at that Senior Brother Ma as short and chubby; his movements were truly not slow.

In a moment's time, he had already descended into the yellow mist and walked a few steps to the side of the little fox.

He was also cautious, grabbing the white fox's tail first without a word, and then shaking it lightly with peace of mind.

As a result, the white fox was like a dead object, with no reaction at all.

At this, the short, chubby young man became somewhat panicked, hurriedly placing the beast's belly to his ear and listening intently.

As a result, before long, the panicked voice of this Senior Brother Ma came from the yellow mist.

"Senior Brother, you guys come down quickly. This demon fox's body is ice cold, and there is no heartbeat at all. It seems it really has died."

"Impossible!" Senior Brother Wang's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Senior Brother, let's withdraw the formation and go down to see. Our spiritual power cannot maintain the restrictions for long." Kui Cai Huan said anxiously from the side.

Although the cultivator surnamed Xi with the pale golden complexion did not say anything, his eyes also revealed a look of worry. After all, if the demon beast died, it would not be worth many spirit stones.

"Good! Let's withdraw the formation first. Anyway, Junior Brother Ma has already caught this beast." Senior Brother Wang only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Han Li heard this, rubbed his chin with a normal expression, and did not object.

Immediately, the few chanted incantations, pointed at the ground one after another, and several rays of light shot out from the mist, turning back into several formation flags and falling into the hands of the four.

The yellow mist dissipated instantly.

It revealed the short, chubby young man standing on the grass, who was testing something by placing a finger under the little beast's nose.

Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Wang and the other two all descended with gloomy expressions. But Han Li stood where he was without moving, and even after looking at the white fox a few times, a strange expression appeared on his face.
