Chapter 194: Lost Profits

“Damn!”
“What the hell? It’s just that their gang is stronger. They really think he’s the boss…” The gang experts who followed into the left and right passages all showed expressions of annoyance.
Entering the Fox Cave this time, unusual circumstances had turned them into mere background figures!
The fox demons in the vast cave were drawn into the passages, leaving most of the gangs without any resources at all. That was already frustrating enough, but the Luoyu Gate and Changle Sect, under the pretext of advancing quickly, firmly took control of the front positions in both passages, seizing most of the fox demon resources. This left them with no chance to even fight, let alone claim any loot. Those who followed behind, advancing silently, naturally felt extremely annoyed.
As for the third major gang—the Xiyi Gate—although they also seized the few remaining fox demons in the cave hall and thus benefited, they weren’t as resented as the Luoyu Gate and Changle Sect.
Fortunately, not much time was spent in the passages. The Luoyu Gate and Changle Sect knew they couldn’t linger, so they unleashed all their firepower—arrows, flying knives, hidden weapons—all aimed at the groups of fox demons ahead, allowing them to advance rapidly.
In less than twenty minutes, hundreds of meters of the passage were cleared, and they converged to enter a second, slightly larger cave…
The first layer of the Fox Cave resembled a giant “8”!
The passages connected underground, forming a huge subterranean cave at their junction, which naturally became a densely populated area for fox demons.
But to their disappointment…
The second cave was just as desolate. There were no large groups of fox demons—only a few dozen scattered around in this cave, less than 200 meters long and wide, filled with piles of snow-white skull mounds!
“Bastards!”
Their pent-up anger finally erupted. Coming out of the passages, the many gang experts wanted to tear the Happy group to pieces for entering here first.
The strange situation in the Fox Cave was vastly different from usual. If anything affected the distribution of the demon beasts here, the only possibility was Happy…
Though they didn’t know how Happy managed to escape from the pursuit of countless fox demons at the Creation Realm and Mysterious Realm levels, his existence had already severely impacted their mission and profits!
“Better pray to every god I know that I won’t find you!”
All the top experts from the gangs gritted their teeth, filled with rage.
“Hmph!”

Only a few people could maintain a calm mindset. They were both shocked and worried about Happy and his group who had entered the second junction of Fox Cave…
Shocked because Fox Cave, which even the strongest members of ordinary gangs couldn’t break through easily, had been effortlessly crossed by four obscure individuals;
Worried because they now couldn’t determine whether Happy and his group were entering Fox Cave for the first time, but it was certain they weren’t unprepared… Moreover, they were also concerned about how far Happy and his group might go and whether they would completely ruin their plans for Fox Cave.
This was especially evident in Gu Dulu Chang Le and Si Tu Luo Yu!
They had originally thought Happy was just relying on his decent strength to come to Fox Cave to try his luck, so they hadn’t included him and his three companions in their plans; but now it seemed…
“A mistake,” Gu Dulu Chang Le said, giving Si Tu Luo Yu a deep look. “I knew it. Someone who could silently take a precious box from Songshan, causing many gangs to suffer, and then use the notorious reputation of Tian Sha Xing to evade the divination system and escape everyone’s pursuit—how could such a person enter Fox Cave unprepared?”
“Yes,” Si Tu Luo Yu nodded bitterly. “I’ve calculated that he can take at least one-third of the profits from the first layer of Fox Cave… We can’t keep the rest for ourselves. If this continues, those gangs will blame us, so we’ll have to leave it to them and redistribute resources once we reach the second layer.”
“Hmm,” Gu Dulu Chang Le also noticed that the gang leaders’ expressions were grim, and their eyes lacked the respect and obedience they showed outside Fox Cave. This was a sign of dissatisfaction and rebellion!
If they continued to monopolize the remaining resources, thechain reactions reactions and consequences brought about by Happy would likely fall on the gangs led by them.
“Fortunately, the first layer’s fox demons can’t be completely eliminated until then, meaning we still have a chance to encounter Happy…”
Gu Dulu Chang Le’s suggestive words and meaningful gaze made Si Tu Luo Yu pause briefly before he smiled and nodded silently. He naturally understood what Gu Dulu Chang Le meant.
In fact, not only him but probably all the gangs here had such thoughts, though few dared to act on them.
At this moment, no one could ignore Happy’s existence and threat!
Outside Fox Cave, the destruction of hundreds of top experts from the Qian Long Association was enough to illustrate the point—without sufficient strength, such an idea could remain nothing more than an idea.

The only three factions within the Fox Den are truly qualified to carry this out: the Luoyu Gate, the Changle Sect, and the Xiyi Gate. However, in the eyes of the two of them, those hypocritical guys from the Xiyi Gate would surely disdain to do it. So, it comes down to the leaders of these two factions. Whether to do it or not depends entirely on them! Gu Dulu Changle is no ordinary person… He is also a top-tier figure in a professional player union. Though not as outstanding as the Yipin Tang, he still controls many resources and skilled individuals, and in terms of faction strength, his is many times that of the Luoyu Gate. He’s the most annoyed when played by others. “When I see him, I might even make him spit something out.” As he spoke, a murderous intent flashed in Gu Dulu Changle’s eyes, though his gaze remained fixed on Situ Luoyu. He wasn’t sure if Situ Luoyu shared the same intentions as the Xiyi Gate—to win over this top-tier expert who hadn’t joined any faction yet. Sensing Gu Dulu Changle’s gaze, Situ Luoyu spoke up, “It’s easy to meet them. Just leave behind a fox demon.” His tone was calm, as if discussing something unrelated to him. But Gu Dulu Changle laughed heartily, completely relieved. “Let’s go! Let those smaller factions get some benefits too, so they won’t say we’re stingy… Hm? The people from the Xiyi Gate are coming!” Turning his gaze, the two quickly noticed that over fifty members of the Xiyi Gate were marching out of the passage toward them. A sharp glint flashed in Situ Luoyu’s eyes! Yet it still didn’t escape Gu Dulu Changle’s notice. With a slight smile, he left Situ Luoyu behind and stepped forward to greet them, “Haha, Brother Hongchen, you’ve arrived! The left passage you wanted, we’ve all reserved it for you. Go ahead…” “Oh? Then I’d better obey.” Hongchen had just arrived and wasn’t aware of the situation. Seeing that everyone was still gathered here, he didn’t overthink it. After thanking them, he led his people into the left passage in a hurry. He completely missed the strained tone in Gu Dulu Changle’s words, nor did he realize that at that moment, most of the surrounding factions were showing anger and dissatisfaction toward the Xiyi Gate members! The Xiyi Gate had actually preemptively reserved a passage’s resources for themselves among the two major factions…
