Chapter 192: Shadowless, Gusty Wind

There was no exit in the Fox Cave; only after reaching the set time would all players be transported to the Fox Fairy Village. These characteristics made it a deadly place that forced players to go all out!
Yao Shi Wanneng remembered clearly that once, when being chased by a white fox, his “Illusion Demon Movement” at the tenth level failed to shake off the mysterious white fox, which remained attached to him from start to finish. He wasn’t freed until dawn when he was automatically transported out of the Fox Cave!
It was easy to imagine what level the white fox’s “Fox Demon Phantom Movement” had reached.
Yao Shi Wanneng had been paying attention to the situation of the three Happy ones since they attracted a large group of fox demons. After all, these three were entering the Fox Cave for the first time. Though they were strong, they lacked experience!
Seeing the three blocked by two white foxes and over a dozen fox women rushing out of the passage, with more red foxes following, his face turned pale, his expression turning extremely grim.
The plan had gone awry!
When he entered the Fox Cave, there usually weren’t any fox demons in the left passage—many players would hold their ground there, using the terrain and numerical advantage to gradually overwhelm the fox demons.
But he never expected…
At that time, most of the fox demons in the passage had been lured away.
Now, they, who were the first to enter the Fox Cave, were immediately faced with a huge crisis. The unexpected ambush and the unforeseen fox demons left Yao Shi Wanneng at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Bei and Lei Zhan also grew tense, sweating profusely at the prospect of being surrounded on two sides.
The only one remaining calm was Happy.
His expression darkened: “Xiao Bei! Use your puppet to draw the fox demons behind us away! Hurry!”
The situation was urgent, and without waiting for a reply, Xiao Bei quickly took action. A zombie puppet turned around and headed straight toward the fox demons, immediately diverting their attention…
Happy, with a serious expression, clashed head-on with a group of fox demons in the left passage.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was as if the sounds of astonishing bells were coming from a remote temple in the mountains.
The golden protective aura around his body trembled continuously under the fierce attacks from the two white foxes, its color gradually fading. Happy’s face also paled slightly.

Obviously, the attacking power of the “White Fox” in the later stages of the Mysterious Realm was beyond comparison to that of ordinary fox women. Just that one strike was far stronger than those of the zombies at the Mass Graveyard, weakening the defensive capabilities of the Golden Bell Shield and requiring a considerable amount of internal energy to compensate. Moreover, if not for the protection of the Yellow Dragon Bow Armor, which reduced the damage, it’s possible she would have suffered internal injuries from that strike.

The Golden Bell Shield at the seventh level… It was indeed somewhat difficult to withstand the White Fox of the Mysterious Realm head-on.

However…

“That’s as far as you can go!” With cold eyes, Happy took advantage of the White Fox’s slight exhaustion after its first round of attacks. Her Jade Silkworm Hands instantly transformed into a series of palm shadows, layered upon each other, causing the air to vibrate. With an even more fierce momentum, they surged like a tidal wave at the group of fox demons emerging from the passage.

Shadowless Palm!

With all her internal energy poured into it, she unleashed thirteen palm strikes in an instant. The combined force of these strikes created an unprecedentedly powerful and rapid wave of attack.

This was the most dire situation Happy had faced in the martial world to date, so naturally, she unleashed the most astonishing counterattack! With over 1,500 points of damage, even demons at the Mysterious Realm level found it hard to withstand such an assault.

Combined with the supplementary attacks from Wind Spirit Spin, she retained the momentum from her fist techniques, attacking nearby targets in the front and sides…

The two White Foxes were hit first!

Faced with the onslaught of palm shadows, they quickly deflected two of them, but then encountered the Shadowless Gale Leg—one of the fastest-acting martial arts techniques among the highest-level skills! Soon, their chests were struck, causing their humanoid forms to tremble violently. In an instant, their bodies were hit everywhere, forcing them to stagger back several steps.

Of course, the damage from the Shadowless Gale Leg alone was not enough to inflict serious harm on demons like the White Foxes.

But that wasn’t Happy’s goal.

Several fox women near the White Fox had tried to attack from the sides, but as soon as they reached those positions, they were swept aside by the aftermath of the attacks, vomiting blood and flying backward, as if struck by dozens of palms at once. They cried out in pain as they flew into the passage, disrupting the formation of the fox women behind them.

“Charge in!”

Seeing Happy single-handedly holding off the group of foxes, Xiao Bei and Lei Zhan grew confident. Without further orders, they rushed at the White Foxes, using their swords to inflict some wounds on them. Together, they forced the slightly injured White Fox and Red Fox back into the passage.

“Great!”

In the distance, the All-Purpose Eyes of Yao Shi, which were frantically avoiding the swarm of fox demons, lit up brightly as they kept changing direction. Once the three of them fully entered the passage, it stopped fighting and suddenly accelerated to its limit, rushing toward them.

Xiao Bei also brought back the zombies, whose bodies were in tatters after being attacked by the fox women, at just the right time…

Yah!

“Jeje…”

A swarm of fierce white and red foxes chased after them, howling.

Unfortunately, the passage was only three meters wide, allowing at most three fox demons to walk side by side at a time. Most of the fox demons were blocked outside, out of the four of them’ sight.

Those who entered first were held off by Xiao Bei, Lei Zhan, and one zombie together; ahead, Kai Xin took care of everything on his own. Since the “Wind Spirit Spin” attack targeted targets within 180 degrees directly ahead, the pressure was actually lower than before, making it easy for him to handle it alone!

After entering the passage, seeing that the situation ahead and behind was stable, the All-Purpose Eyes of Yao Shi finally relaxed. He swung his sword back and forth, launching surprise attacks when possible, and then dragged the fallen fox corpses back to collect loot.

Before long, they obtained the first top-quality martial arts secret book since entering the fox den—“Heavenly Illusion Claws”!

However, Xiao Bei and Lei Zhan’s speed wasn’t very fast yet.

This kind of brute-force confrontation, though quick in obtaining loot, also caused astonishing consumption of medicinal pills. Xiao Bei and Lei Zhan soon realized that it was difficult to hit the fox demons with some attacks, and sometimes they even struggled to counter their fierce assaults. If it weren’t for the support from the All-Purpose Eyes of Yao Shi behind them, the two would likely have been badly injured and unable to hold on.

“It’s good to level up here.”

“Nonsense! We don’t have that many pills! This won’t work!” Yao Shi frowned and retorted, “There are still hundreds of fox demons outside. If this continues, the pills will run out soon! We won’t be able to reach the second floor either.”

Kai Xin fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, they hadn’t come all this way just to fight a bunch of Creation Realm fox demons.

Ignoring Lei Zhan’s astonished gaze, he said, “Creation Realm fox demons don’t yield much loot. Let’s go look for the white foxes inside! Leave these here for those gang members to deal with.” By the time he spoke, the fox demons at the back of the passage had already been cleared.

Kai Xin turned solemnly to Xiao Bei and gave a firm order:

“Leave a puppet to buy time.”
