Chapter 1176

Looking at the direction of the torches, it is easy to judge the direction of the Yao army's advance, and it is not difficult to judge the range of activity of the fox monsters. Next, the two walked all the way avoiding the Yao army and entered the encirclement that the other side was constantly shrinking.

"What's the contact signal? How to find that nest of foxes?"

He Lingchuan sighed: "There is one, it's just easy to attract trouble."

They found a cliff, and He Lingchuan took out Mother Zhu's eyeball xun and blew it woo-woo.

He played "Qingqiu Tune," a tune rarely played in the human world.

Of course, he didn't open the last hole on the xun.

The sobbing xun sound echoed between the mountain forest and the clear spring, floating slowly up the mountain peak.

He Lingchuan's playing used true power, which could be transmitted very far in the quiet valley.

In the past few months, this was the first time Dong Rui heard him play the xun. Hearing it again at this time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised:

He Lingchuan's skill seemed to have improved again, the xun sound was high and far without losing steadiness, and the high-spiritedness was hidden in the gloom, and the heat was grasped just right.

Can this guy practice secretly while being busy in a mess?

He Lingchuan played the xun while listening to all directions.

Since stepping on Giant Deer Port, he had some more mental journey, which was reflected in the rhythm, that is, another inch of progress.

A tune ended, and the echoes lingered.

The torches around also gathered here quickly—

The Yao army is not deaf. As soon as he blew the xun, everyone could hear it.

The forest shadows all around were rustling, as if something was peeping in the dark, but didn't rush out to make trouble for the two.

Fang Canran said that even if this "Qingqiu Tune" is not used as a contact signal, it also has a soothing effect on the fox monster clan.

He was indeed right.

He Lingchuan's eyes were like torches, and he saw the fox tails hidden in the forest at a glance.

But after the xun sound disappeared, the foxes were like waking up, and began to move again, re-blooming fierce light at the two.

These are monsters that have tasted human flesh and drunk human blood, and have long lost their former awe of humans.

A little mist seemed to float out of the mountain forest, and Lingguang whispered to the two: "Put on the clear heart talisman."

Fox monsters are good at making people hallucinate.

The mirage monster creates illusions of the environment, making people recognize the fake as true; but the fox monster creates illusions of the human heart, making you see the truth at a glance.

It specializes in "appearance born from the heart."

So this thick fog doesn't actually exist, it just makes people think they have fallen into the clouds and mist.

The fox monsters also took this opportunity to hide their figures and launch an attack.

Therefore, the simplest and most brutal way is to put on the clear heart talisman refined by the pharmacist.

Several yellow foxes larger than wild wolves rushed over in a blink of an eye.

He Lingchuan didn't move: this is an illusion.

The real fox monster touched behind the two and launched an attack silently.

He Lingchuan held the shield with one hand and smashed the fox monster out directly.

Another one took the opportunity to jump, its movements were as light as a lynx, and it wanted to spray a mouthful of fox fire at He Lingchuan.

This green fire has a stronger hallucinogenic effect. Once sprayed, it is not as bone-eroding and muscle-destroying as other true fires, but people are easily plunged into madness.

As a result, He Lingchuan made a move one step earlier, accurately pinching its neck, and this mouthful of fire was held in its throat and couldn't be sprayed out.

The ghost ape jumped off Dong Rui's shoulder, instantly turned into a giant monster one foot high, pulled out the small tree beside it, and swept it horizontally along the ground! Two foxes were thrown away.

"Lightly!" Dong Rui stopped it, "Don't beat the foxes to death!"

After all, the monsters in the clan are a minority, and most of them here are wild foxes.

They are here to do things, it's not good to form hatred and create killing karma as soon as they meet.

The ghost ape rolled its eyes.

This was already showing mercy, otherwise it would have pulled out the purple gold stick! The fox group retreated, and several larger fox monsters finally appeared.

"Stop!" A human voice suddenly sounded deep in the forest.

He Lingchuan and the other stopped upon hearing the sound, and the fox group also retreated immediately, but still surrounded them.

A red fox ran out of the forest, as big as a calf. It looked at the two and spoke human words:

"Where are you from?"

"Mou."

"Come with us."

This place is not suitable for staying long, the Yao army will be here soon.

The two followed the fox group to climb high and walk low. The night road was particularly difficult to walk, and they couldn't light lamps. Fortunately, the two's night vision ability was not weak, so they could walk on the starless night as if on flat ground.

Going down to a mountain col, the red fox walked to a big rock and squeaked twice, and He Lingchuan saw something moving in the shadow under the rock.

A stone door slid open silently.

The foxes surrounded the two humans and walked in.

Afterwards, the stone door closed quietly again, without revealing a trace.

Below this is an underground labyrinth opened up using ground seams and cracks. Both humans have to bow their heads and bend their waists to walk, and their backs can't be straightened. Dong Rui also bumped his head twice—

This kind of underground palace was not built for humans in the first place.

Wolves and foxes are good at digging holes. He Lingchuan didn't expect the White Head Ridge fox clan to carry forward this talent.

It's not pitch black in the cave. There is some shallow fluorescence on the inside of the passage, which has the same effect as Mother Zhu's fluorescent spores, but He Lingchuan recognized that they were some glowing fungi, barely enough for lighting.

The fox's night vision ability is far better than humans. This little light is enough for foxes.

Dong Rui followed the fox in front up and down, left and right for a long while, feeling a little dizzy.

This labyrinth is actually three-dimensional with several layers. No wonder the Yao army surrounded White Head Ridge for three days and still hasn't caught the big fox monster.

There is also a breeze blowing in the underground palace, so you can see that there are vents nearby—these foxes are quite particular about digging holes.

For a long time, they walked into a natural stone cave and finally saw the main character.

That is a huge fox monster, estimated to be taller than a person when standing up, but it is currently curled up on the ground, with a deep wound on its hind leg. Behind it, three tails are swinging gently.

He Lingchuan originally thought it would be pure white, but didn't expect this monster to be just ordinary fire red, only the eyebrows were white, looking like it had four eyes.

Cough, I read too many small books from another world, thinking that those with Taoist practice are white foxes.

"You blew the 'Qingqiu Tune', so, were you sent by Wang Xingyi?"

"We were entrusted by National Teacher Wang to support you from here to Giant Deer Port." He Lingchuan looked left and right, "You should be ready to move, right?"

Yes, his second task on the Flash Gold Plain is to support the fox monster clan of White Head Ridge to Giant Deer Port to take a boat. This nest of fox monsters has lived here for decades, but they have a bad relationship with the local residents, and recently the conflict has become more intense, and even the Yao Nation has taken action to clear them out.

Unlike other small nations with weak Yuan power, once the Yao Nation gets serious, the fox clan will definitely suffer a big loss.

National Teacher Wang traveled to the Flash Gold Plain in his early years and had an old relationship with this Three-Tailed fox monster, so he invited it to establish itself in the Mou Nation.

This task doesn't seem difficult, but He Lingchuan knows it's not as easy as it sounds. The fox monster is now injured on top of injuries, making it even more inconvenient to act.

Three-Tailed looked at him: "Just relying on the two of you, can you take us out?"

Dong Rui laughed: "How do you know without trying. Besides, relying on yourselves, can you get out?"

If the fox monsters could escape, would they wait until now?

Three-Tailed looked at him: "If you didn't come, I could still drag it out for a while."

"The exposure of the last underground palace is a matter of time." He Lingchuan asked it, "Can you still walk?"

"Yes, but it's hard to make a move again." Three-Tailed looked at the wound on its body, "The leg injury is fine, but the wound given to me by the new Great Supervisor of the Yao Nation three months ago is the trouble. Besides, the Yao army has already rushed to the place where you blew the xun earlier."

"This is my pharmacist." He Lingchuan patted the monkey on his shoulder, "Let it take a look for you?"

Three-Tailed nodded.

Lingguang jumped down to check its injuries.

During this period, He Lingchuan also had to seize the time to discuss countermeasures with the fox monster.

"Staying here, you will be caught tonight."

How could Three-Tailed not know? "We tried to break through, but no matter which direction we went, the Yao army could immediately reinforce and block the gap ahead of us!"

It pointed its chin at the torchlight on the side of the mountain: "Look, they know very well where I am, and are gathering troops to come here. Like this, it has been countless times in the past three days. If it weren't for my many years of operation in White Head Ridge, and the children building several underground palaces here, and the underground situation being complex, we wouldn't have persisted for so long."

"You mean, the Yao army can predict your actions one step ahead?"

"Not just that!" Three-Tailed's gaze was solemn, "I infer that they have always known my location!"

It's just that it used to hide in the underground palace. Even if the other side knew where it was, it was not easy to figure out the three-dimensional underground palace with several layers up and down.

"Several underground palaces have been sealed one after another, and the space for hiding is getting smaller and smaller."

Understood, positioning tracking. He Lingchuan nodded: "We must escape tonight. Can this underground palace reach the ground directly?"

"Yes. There are five exits here."

Next question: "How many offspring do you have?"

"Originally nearly two hundred, now only these are left." Three-Tailed's eyes were full of sadness.

These? He Lingchuan scanned it, estimated that there were less than thirty here, of which seven big guys were fox monsters, and the others were ordinary foxes.

Three-Tailed reminded them: "The Yao army opened an escape-prohibiting barrier on White Head Ridge, otherwise we would have gone out long ago."

"What kind of escape technique do you know?"

"Wood escape."

This forest is all over the mountains and plains. If it weren't for the escape technique being blocked, the fox monster clan would have escaped long ago.

At this time, a wail suddenly came from afar, which was particularly creepy in the dark night. Although it was not a human voice, He Lingchuan still heard pain and fear from it.

The foxes here heard it, and the hair on their backs exploded.

This place is very close to the ground, and I don't know what magic Three-Tailed cast, but the sound on the surface can easily be transmitted in.

"Once the Yao army catches my offspring, they will peel their skin alive, making their wails resound through the mountains." Three-Tailed's ears kept turning toward the direction of the sound, "They know my location, they don't need to torture my children."

Its voice was hidden with pain.

The Yao army torturing the captured little foxes is both a demonstration to Three-Tailed and a way to make the fox group tremble.

Fear and anger easily lead to mistakes.

"If they can really monitor your location, it means they have planted a tracking supernatural power on you or your offspring."
