Chapter 150: Transformation into a Fox

  Just as all the warriors were discussing, a more intense aura suddenly burst out from Hu Gao's body under heavy pressure!

  "Breakthrough! Second-order minor accomplishment of the unified body realm! He actually broke through under the pressure of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!"

  "What an admirable natural talent..."

  "It's too early to be happy for him! Hu Gao is in danger!" Yang Le exclaimed, "He can't hold off the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox alone, I'll go help him!"

  "Come back!" Deputy Dean Dugu Sheng grabbed Yang Le, who was about to rush over to help. "Yang, you should understand that the person responsible for covering us will definitely be affected by the dean's attack later. You should also understand that the one person the dean least wants to see get hurt is you!

  "Me..." Yang Le also knew that Dugu Sheng was telling the truth, but she couldn't bear to watch Hu Gao being sent to his death.

  Looking at the figure standing stubbornly in front of the nine-tailed demon fox, Yang Le's heart silently prayed: "Hu Gao, you little scoundrel, you must survive! Otherwise... otherwise, Wu Shuang sister will never forgive you!"

  At this time, the huge nine-tailed demon fox also slowly lowered its head and looked at the little guy blocking his way.

  Unlike the legendary ferocious beast, this nine-tailed demon fox did not show strong aggression. Otherwise, with Ning City's limited manpower, it would have been impossible to stop it until now. So it wasn't until Hu Gao stood in front of it for a while that it finally shifted its attention from the half-air War Institute Dean to Hu Gao.

  The nine-tailed demon fox lowered its head at the same time as Hu Gao raised his.

  Four eyes meet.

  In those blood-red fox eyes, there was a majesty from ancient times, and although there were hints of bloodthirsty glints in his gaze, there wasn't the legendary ferocity. What made Hu Gao anxious was that in the fox's eyes, he saw a thread of perplexity, a thread of doubt, a thread of shock, a thread of helplessness, a thread of sorrow... Did these emotions belong to an ancient fierce beast?

  What made Hu Gao even more perplexed was that in the instant their eyes met, a strange feeling arose in his heart - these eyes, he seemed to have seen them somewhere before.

  The nine-tailed demon fox suddenly stopped its rampage, covering its massive head with both front paws, as if enduring some kind of immense pain.

  This feeling was fully sensed by Hu Gao, who felt that he had established some kind of spiritual connection with the Nine-Tailed Fox.

  A soft and weak female voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Hu Gao, save me, Hu Gao, save me!"

  Is this Hu Wushuang's voice?

  That's right! Although he had only met Hu Wushuang three times, her voice had already deeply entered his heart.

  Watts, what's going on here? Is this huge monster transformed from Hu Wu Shuang?

  Hu Gao didn't dare to think further, Hu family, my god, if according to the homophone, isn't it the meaning of Fox family? He still remembered that the previous name of Totem Continent was Beast Continent, could it be that those defeated beast tribes had been lurking and transformed into human form?

  At this moment, Hu Gao felt that his three views were completely subverted. According to his own reasoning, hadn't he crossed over and possessed a fox's body?

  Is this heaven's retribution for researching foxes before reincarnating?

  Hugao's thoughts only lasted for less than a breath of time, because immediately after that, all his senses were taken over by an unbearable scorching heat!

  This surge of heat seemed to come from the blood vessels, appearing out of nowhere and endless! Hu Gao felt his own body, his own flesh and blood, as if they were all burning, boiling, and roaring!

  "Ah!"

  Huge pain made Hu Gao involuntarily let out a loud roar! As if to use this roar to turn all the heat in his body into flames and spew it out!

  "What happened to Hu Gao?" Yang Lei asked anxiously from a distance.

  "I don't know." Dugu Sheng had never seen anything so strange before. They had just fought the nine-tailed demon fox, why hadn't Hu Gao undergone such a transformation? No one could answer this question.

  "I'm going to save him!" Yang Le shook off Dugu Sheng's hand and rushed straight towards the fiercely burning Hu Gao.

  Faster than Yang Le was a figure rapidly approaching from another direction!

  Yun Feng rushed from somewhere, grabbed Hu Gao who was like a burning ember without hesitation, ignoring the harm caused by this heat to his palm and arm, and rushed straight out of the city!

  It's not just Hu Gao who has undergone a transformation.

  "Ah!"

  Seeing Hu Gao being rescued, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox raised its head and let out a long, mournful howl. Its nine tails, like flaming whips, began to wildly swing back and forth. In an instant, the massive body of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had transformed into a gigantic ball of raging flames!

  At this time, the master of the war courtyard in the sky finally completed his accumulation of power!

  "Abominable beast! Take my Thunderclap Strike!"

  The first-class lower-grade Yuan Jue "Thunderclap" has a mighty power of 10,000 jin, and the hundred paths of thunder light follow the movement of the War Temple Master, striking down one after another!

  "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

  At the moment when the last lightning bolt struck, the huge fireball finally shattered and disintegrated, the flames dispersing into tiny sparks that drifted away in all directions. And amidst the ruins and ashes, the nine-tailed demon fox had vanished without a trace.

  Yun Feng carried Hu Gao and rushed towards the small river outside the city's back mountain. All along the way, Yun Feng could clearly smell the aroma of his left palm being roasted. Despite this, he persisted.

  "Hu Gao brothers, you can't die... My left hand has turned into a roasted pig's trotter, I'm still waiting for you to wake up and compensate me..."

  Yun Feng didn't know if Hu Gao could hear him, and he chatted with him in a disjointed manner.

  "Guess what I just did? Hehe! I won't tell you, if you want to know, you have to wake up yourself."

  "By the way, have I ever told you that my younger brother is also a body repair expert? You're so skilled in body repair, when he comes to ask for your advice, don't hide it from him."

  "If you don't speak up again, I'm going to let go...I'm asking, are you even listening?"

  Running at full speed while talking put tremendous pressure on Yunfeng's lungs, and he felt like his chest was going to turn into a bellows.

  "I'm really going to... turn into a bellows! If Hu Gao saw you, he'd definitely say this is an ugly bellows! We're almost at the riverbank. If you don't speak up now, I'll throw you in! One more question, can you swim? No answer? Then I don't care! Counting down three times, three, two, one, go!"

  With a shout of "Go!", Yun Feng exerted himself and threw Hu Gao into this small river behind the mountain.

  "Boom!"

  Hugao fell into the water without any struggle and didn't float on the surface for even a moment, like a stone statue, he sank directly to the bottom.

  But this stone statue seemed to be burning.

  Before long, the entire river was like a boiling pot, bubbling and churning with a loud gurgling sound. As wisps of white smoke rose into the air, the water level in the river dropped rapidly, and the water flowing down from upstream quickly completed its journey back to the sky. Downstream, only a dry riverbed and a few unfortunate fish were left lying on the riverbed.

  With the constant flushing of the upstream river water, Hu Gao's body temperature finally dropped a bit, although his skin color was still like that of a cooked lobster, but much better than its initial state.

  "Hu Gao brothers indeed have a good fate, such high temperature and yet he didn't get roasted." Looking at his own left hand which looked like a roasted pig's trotter, Yun Feng could only sigh that people have different fates.

  When the morning sun shone brightly across the land, Hu Gao's body temperature had returned to normal. The restless heat energy was finally suppressed with the help of the river water, shrinking into a fist-sized ball that quietly lay dormant within his body.

  Hú Gāo slowly opened his eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Was it all just a dream?"

  "Look, look at the distant Ning City down the mountain, do you think you've just had a dream?" Yun Feng's voice full of laughter came from behind Hu Gao, "Even if it was a dream, this left hand of mine that's been crippled because of you, you must take responsibility to the end."

  "It was all true after all..." Hu Gao turned around and bowed gratefully to Yun Feng, "Thank you for your help last night."

  "What are you doing?" Seeing Hu Gao's formal attitude, Yun Feng couldn't adapt for a moment. "You shouldn't have gotten your brain burned, right? Besides, you saved my life once, and I saved yours last night, it's only natural."

  Hu Gao chuckled and felt that he was being a bit too pretentious, so he changed the subject: "Although I was affected by a surge of heat energy last night and couldn't control my body, my mind was still relatively clear. I have to say, Yun Feng, your words are even more numerous than I imagined... Ah, yes, about what you said regarding making Han Chong angry to death, should I tell him the truth? I'm sure he'll be very grateful for your 'concern'."

  "This matter we'll discuss later!" Yunfeng's face was awkward, "Now Ning City is half-destroyed, what should we do now?"

  "Of course I'll return to Ning City, the Hu family needs me now." Hu Gao replied without hesitation, "However, before I go back, I still have a question."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Where did the nine-tailed demon fox go? Was it destroyed?"

  "How is that possible! The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is a genuine ancient ferocious beast, and Ning City's power is absolutely unable to eliminate it. After I took you away, the Explosive Yuan Realm expert seemed to have used an extremely powerful attack on the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, but in my opinion, such an attack couldn't even harm the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. What's strange is that after that attack, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox actually disappeared by itself. As for where it went, it's not something we can know."

  "Disappeared by himself?" Hu Gaoyu nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that this matter must have a big twist. Let's hurry back, maybe the truth is in the Hu family!"

  "It's fine, let's go back." Yunfeng was curious about Hu Gao's physical changes in his heart, but he knew it wasn't the time to dwell on this matter now.
