Chapter 195: The Fox Cave Trap

Inside the Fox Cave, the scarcity of resources increasingly heightened resentment among the various gangs, with emotions and dissatisfaction growing deeper by the day!
In secret…
Many gangs had already formed their own factions. They no longer trusted the three leading gangs, even believing that they were deliberately restricting their access to resources under the guise of this situation.
However, due to the existence of Kai Xin, the resources on the second floor of the Fox Cave, and the mystery of the unexplored third floor, the tension among the gangs remained at a delicate level, with no one daring to disrupt the balance of the alliance.
Although the Luoyu Gate and the Changle Sect observed all this, their greatest concern remained Kai Xin and his group, whose strength was unfathomable and whose whereabouts were unknown. They knew that to carry out their plan, this source of instability had to be eliminated!
As time passed, the number of fox demons in the resource-scarce Fox Cave continued to decline. Even the entrance to the second floor, the third gathering point, had been completely cleared by the gangs.
But strangely…
In each of the two corridors, there was a female fox, seemingly unattended, racing along the passages.
“Hehe…”
The fiery-red, curvaceous female fox smirked seductively as it clung tightly to the back of a top-tier expert from the Changle Sect. The expert activated his advanced protective barrier, only experiencing a slight shake from the attack before continuing forward and scanning the surroundings.
Meanwhile, the top-tier experts from the various gangs in the corridors simply watched silently, neither intervening nor stepping forward to kill the female fox.
It wasn’t long before everyone gathered at the entrance to the second floor!
Soon, the two players with advanced protective barriers returned, each accompanied by their female fox, and reported to Situ Luoyu and Gu Dulu Changle:
“Everyone is here. There’s no one left on the first floor.”
“Same here. I can’t find that guy!”
Their replies caused the two gang leaders to frown, but they had no doubt about the accuracy of the information. After all, apart from these two top-tier experts who could withstand the female fox’s attacks, a team of first-class experts had also searched the entire first floor of the Fox Cave. Even if the cave was complex, with a whole team involved, there would be no hidden corners or unexplored areas.
“…”
The two exchanged a serious glance.
“It seems they might have died right here and logged off…”

“That kid! Such a shrewd one!”
“What do we do now?” Both of them felt disheartened and regretful. They had been fully prepared to take advantage of Happy and reap a good profit from her, but unexpectedly, she vanished without a trace—truly not easy to deal with!
“Since she’s gone, let it be. We can try to get money from her another time! Let’s focus on our main task—go to the second floor!”
“Hmm.”
His gaze shifted, scanning the leaders of the various gangs around before landing on Hongchen, who had been waiting impatiently for some time. His pupils narrowed slightly.
“Kill them!”
At that command, a group of experts quickly surrounded the two arrogant female foxes and slew them with swift cuts.
Boom!!! At the end of the first floor of the Fox Cave, a huge, intact rock mass emitted a deafening roar under the gaze of hundreds of experts before crashing down…
A vast, dark hole appeared before everyone!! The entrance to the second floor of the Fox Cave.
“Everyone!”
Si Tu Luoyu said loudly with a smile, “I’m sure everyone knows that today’s plan was somewhat unexpected. Happy completely disrupted the resources on the first floor, leaving many of our brother gangs with almost nothing. Our Luoyu Sect has also suffered greatly, and we can only express our regret. However, the resources on the second floor are still there—but they consist of White Foxes at the Mysterious Realm level and the hidden boss, ‘Dead Wolf Woman.’ They’re very tough to deal with. Once inside, everyone should fight on their own and rely on their own skills! I hope everyone can gain something.”
He paused briefly, then changed his tone:
“I won’t say any more nonsense. Please go in!”
Standing at the entrance to the second floor, Si Tu Luoyu gestured invitingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, many gangs responded:
“Then we’ll head in first!” A group of people quickly stepped forward, bowed, and rushed into the second floor of the Fox Cave.
“Let’s go!”
Many gang leaders led their men into the second floor.
Because the second floor was different from the first!
Although it was more dangerous, the entrance was safe, and there weren’t many rooms inside. The resources were also less than those on the first floor—kill one, lose one. If they didn’t act quickly, they might not even get a chance to eat.
Even the Xiyi Sect entered the second floor swiftly, without any hesitation!
Strangely enough, the members of the Luoyu Sect and the Changle Sect remained quietly at the entrance throughout, showing no signs of entering the second floor to compete for resources. It seemed they weren’t worried at all about the resources being taken away.

The two leaders stood there leisurely, hands behind their backs, watching as members of various gangs rushed to enter the second floor, wearing faintly eerie smiles on their faces, exuding calmness.
Until only members of the two major gangs remained at the entrance!
A desolate cold wind seemed to sweep over this group of fully armed, ready-to-go fighters.
“It’s time to go. Otherwise, someone might get suspicious.”
“Hehe, you’re right. Let’s go!”
Si Tu Luoyu smiled and gestured an invitation.
This time, Gu Dú Cháng Lè didn’t hesitate anymore. With a glance, the members of the Cháng Lè faction began entering one after another!
As the members of the Cháng Lè faction and Luoyu’s group entered, Si Tu Luoyu was the last to go. When he reached the entrance, he paused briefly, as if hearing some faint sound. Instinctively, he glanced back at the corridor on the right, frowning slightly. After listening for a few seconds and detecting nothing, he relaxed, shook his head, and entered the second floor without looking back.
The entrance to the first floor of Fox Cave fell completely silent!
But…
This silence didn’t last more than half a minute.
In the corridor on the right that Si Tu Luoyu had last scanned, a figure flashed out—a young man dressed in yellow archer’s attire emerged from behind a wall. With sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, he stared at the spot where Si Tu Luoyu had disappeared, frowning slightly. It was none other than Kāi Xīn, whom Si Tu Luoyu and Gu Dú Cháng Lè had assumed had already left Fox Cave.
He turned decisively.
Kāi Xīn rushed in the direction of the second intersection and stopped in front of an ordinary-looking rock wall.
Swish!
His Battle-Tested Sword appeared in his hand, its deep blue blade glow flashing.
Boom!
The rock wall in front of him suddenly formed the pattern of a beast’s closing fangs and collapsed instantly. Amidst the swirling dust, a dark cave became visible…
“Ugh, phew.”
Xiao Bei waved the dust off his face and stepped in front of Kāi Xīn.
“What kind of place is this? It smells like foxes—almost killed me!”
Kāi Xīn ignored him and created two more caves nearby, releasing Yao Shi Wàn Néng and Lei Zhàn.
Yao Shi stared at Kāi Xīn in disbelief, his expression one of shock:
“We’ve been in here for over a month and never found such a trap. How did you discover this place?!” He remembered that Kāi Xīn was visiting Fox Cave for the first time—how could he know about such a secret trap that even seasoned veterans hadn’t noticed?
