Chapter 57: The Fox's True Form Revealed

  As a result of the big fire, this area was crowded with people, and many who had already rested were startled awake, in a state of chaos. Guo Fei led Hu Xiaoyue, riding horseback on the official road heading forward.

  "Master, are you going to set off at night?" Hu Xiaoyue was shocked, he thought Guo Fei would find an inn to stay in again.

  "Hmm!" Guo Fei didn't make any further explanations and said in a low voice.

  "Master, it's not possible. Now that he has failed in his sneak attack, he must be lurking and following us. Since we are living in a crowded place, he has something to worry about and is relatively safe. I know the Fire Fox tribe doesn't have much power and wouldn't dare to kill on human territory, or it would bring danger to their own tribe. If we leave now, there won't be anyone on the official road to cover for us, and he will have nothing to worry about, so he will surely attack us mercilessly."

  "I know! But we have to go!" Guo Fei said thoughtfully.

  "Is the master afraid of implicating the people here?" Hu Xiaoyue, who had seen life and death many times, was extremely indifferent to unrelated people and couldn't understand Guo Fei's actions.

  "Hehe, I'm not so noble yet!" Guo Fei said with a faint smile.

  "Master, why is that? Even if you have a strong trump card, I'll say something unpleasant, but I'm afraid we may not be their match. Although the big guy's cultivation is not transparent to me, it should be around the Ghost Guard's Great Perfection Realm, and the fox demon from earlier should be at the same level, but he hasn't practiced ghost tribe martial skills, so he can't exert his full strength."

  But this fox demon obviously accepted the inheritance, nourishing the beast's soul with yuan energy and condensing it into a fire beast. Moreover, this flame was no ordinary flame, its temperature extremely high, and its properties restrained the big guy. The master's identity is noble, can't be reckless!" Hu Xiaoyue saw that Guo Fei didn't care, walking towards the official road in the west, getting farther and farther away from the village, suddenly anxiously said.

  "Xiao Yue, I know what you said makes sense, but have you thought about it? We are in the light, the enemy is in the dark. If we stay here, we will give him too much time to prepare. This time he didn't succeed, next time he will definitely strike with lightning speed. I think he and you have the same idea, thinking that we won't leave, but we'll do the opposite. I think he will hastily come after us. So, rather than giving him time to carefully prepare a fatal blow for us, let's make him come hastily, and we'll retaliate in kind."

  "But, Master, even with our full strength, we may not have the upper hand. The Beast's attack is something you don't understand. It's a specialty of our demon tribe, and once it takes shape, it's like a weapon controlled by consciousness. Although his cultivation is not high and he doesn't attack many times, within 50 meters, he can still control the fire beast to attack, which means that within 50 meters, we will find it hard to resist." Hu Xiaoyue knew that what Guo Fei said was reasonable, but their strength wasn't enough. A good strategy is useless in front of superior strength.

  "Hmph, don't worry. If he dares to come after us, I'll make sure he never returns!" Guo Fei said with a hint of anger.

  Hu Xiaoyue didn't say a word. He didn't know where Guo Fei's confidence came from, but he believed that Guo Fei could handle this fox demon.

  It was already the second half of the night, and in another two or three hours, the sky would light up. The three horses proceeded slowly along the pitch-black official road. After one hour, they had already left Sanshilipu thirty to forty kilometers behind.

  "We've gotten rid of him, Master!" Hu Xiaoyue exclaimed with a sigh of relief.

  "No, he's been following us." Guo Fei said calmly. The Xuan Tie sword let out a series of low hums, which sounded like the wind blowing against the scabbard in the night, but Guo Fei, who was closely tied to the Xuan Tie sword, clearly distinguished it as the sword's warning sound, with an aura of killing intent always lurking behind the two.

  "Really!" Hu Xiaoyue exclaimed in shock, looking around left and right.

  "Don't look, let's keep going." Guo Fei said calmly.

  "Boom!" The official road passed through a dense forest, the trees were so dense that they almost blocked the road. At this time, the surrounding forest suddenly burst into flames, and the fire spread instantly, surrounding Guo Fei and his two horses in the empty space in the center of the forest.

  "Heh heh. Since you've been following me for so long, why don't you come out and show yourself?" Guo Fei said with a stern tone, holding back the slightly startled horse.

  "Alas. It's rare to see a young person like you who is so carefree and fearless in the face of danger. It's a pity, a real pity." A soft sigh echoed from behind, and a figure slowly emerged from the flames, surrounded by a red glow that caused the fire to part automatically, revealing a path.

  "Unexpectedly, the Fire Fox tribe has become more and more disappointing, actually becoming a lapdog for the Human tribe. Hehehe!" Hu Xiaoyue said with a playful tone. This was this little girl's specialty, the more dangerous the situation, the more she would laugh playfully, becoming even more charming.

  "You little girl of the White Fox tribe! Why must you show off your eloquence? After cultivating for hundreds of years, can't you see through it yet? The path of cultivation is survival of the fittest, no matter what method is used, as long as one survives, that's the king's way. Your White Fox tribe hiding and avoiding the world, closing your eyes and ears, goes against our fox tribe's way of survival. Even if we Fire Fox tribe don't destroy you, other tribes will. This is the law of survival, if you don't advance, you'll retreat." The man spoke as he walked out of the flames and appeared in front of the two people.

  Guo Fei looked carefully and saw that this person was wearing a red long shirt, with a clear and elegant face, looking like a refined scholar.

  Guo Fei didn't know why they recognized each other as soon as they met, but it should be the unique identification method of their beast clan.

  "You didn't come here to chat, did you?" Guo Fei said calmly.

  "Nature, entrusted by humans, takes your life."

  "Heh heh, recently, there have been many people who wanted to take this young master's life, but they're all dead."

  "Heh heh. Young people should be more humble, this time you have no chance at all. If it weren't for the strange feeling in my heart, you would have been reduced to ashes by now." As soon as he finished speaking, a red glow flashed from his chest, and a vivid, squirrel-like flame creature suddenly condensed and floated in mid-air, staring at Guo Fei.

  Hu Xiaoyue's face suddenly changed, and she circulated her inner energy. A small, pale blue fox appeared at the center of her eyebrows, about the size of a palm, but its body seemed somewhat illusory.

  "This person seemed to be stunned for a moment, and a fierce expression appeared on his face. "It's been many years since I've hunted you down, I didn't expect that one of you would turn out to be a mastermind! It seems that letting you fend for yourselves won't do, huh?"

  "Hiss!" Guo Fei suddenly shot out his hand as he spoke, and a flying knife shot out like lightning, striking the man.

  "Boom!" The fire beast in front of him suddenly spat out a small fireball, which instantly collided with the flying knife, causing it to fly backwards.

  "Awesome!" Guo Fei was secretly shocked in his heart, a ping-pong ball-sized fireball actually had such power. Not only was the power great, but also the speed and accuracy of the small beast were extremely surprising, the fireball could accurately hit the flying knife without error. It can be seen that it is indeed controlled by the consciousness of the demon fox, just as Hu Xiaoyue said.

  When it comes down to it, at this level, playing tricks is useless. Everything depends on real ability.

  "The little girl of the White Fox tribe, if you want to live on, it's not impossible. Our Fire Fox tribe has always been generous and forgiving. The White Fox tribe is always full of beauties, it's really enviable!"

  "Don't even think about it!" Hu Xiaoyue shouted sternly. Her body involuntarily leaned towards Guo Fei. A pale blue fox shadow floated in front of the two, as if this was her only lifesaving straw, although she knew that the water yuan energy condensed from its beast core was too weak and couldn't withstand a blow from the fire fox beast core.

  "Alas, three arrogant ones died ahead, and another one comes from behind!" Guo Fei said with a hint of ridicule, his palm flipped over, and he struck out an object.

  "Roar!" This person subconsciously felt danger, and actually let out a beastly roar. His beastly aura suddenly burst forth with a crimson flame sphere, rolling towards Guo Fei and the other.

  "Boom!" Guo Fei let out a light cry, and a pale blue water screen flashed into existence, instantly enveloping the fireball, beastly spirit, and that Fire Fox ten meters in front of him.

  A cold breath spread out instantly under Guo Fei's divine consciousness, and the flames were suddenly frozen. The outside was covered with a layer of ice crystals, and the inside was still burning with flames, looking beautiful. But this only lasted for an instant, and in the blink of an eye, all the flames disappeared, the fire beast was wrapped in a blue gas mass, and instantly dissipated into thin air.

  The fox wanted to retreat quickly, but the distance was really too close, and the blue air mass wrapped around him instantly.

  "Fifth, Fifth Level Ice Seal Spell!" He stuttered out these words and was instantly sealed in ice crystals.
