100 It's Him!
The spirit foxes have been patrolling more these days. They don't know that the blinding array that has been running safely for decades has an opening somewhere, and it has even been discovered by humans.
It was slightly dawn, which was the time when most creatures were most likely to relax their vigilance.
Two spirit foxes were in a group, chatting about nothing.
Their cultivation was only in the late crystallization stage, and they didn't notice the two shadows approaching quickly behind them. The head was hit hard, and the eyes went black and lost consciousness. Soon, the two foxes who were originally talking were knocked unconscious.
"It's really a spirit fox!" The young monks were very excited when they saw this. According to Bao Longtao, there are hundreds of spirit foxes here, and they have a good chance to get a spirit pet of their own.
After seeing the spirit fox and feeling that it was not a trap, the expression of the city lord Xiang Gao was not so serious. He began to arrange people to trap the spirit foxes by dispersing and surrounding them, and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Because two spirit foxes had already been obtained, the Jindan monks seemed to see countless spirit stones beckoning, and they were also very active. More than 20 Jindan monks quickly dispersed, and the crystal monks followed the city lord. The capture operation was of great importance, and the Jindans could not bring crystals to get in the way.
After the operation began, the forest quickly went from quiet to noisy.
In addition to the spirit fox, there were other fox spirit beasts living here. Even if they did not have the qualifications of the spirit fox, they had followed the spirit fox for so long and had already regarded them as leaders, so they were still very loyal.
Seeing the invasion of foreign enemies, the foxes called out frantically. The spirit foxes resting in the middle of the forest heard the sound and immediately became alert.
Those who were patrolling outside and were not discovered and caught by the Jindan cultivators also quickly rushed back to the center.
Soon, thousands of foxes gathered together to form a line of defense.
The Jindans also began to close the net. Although they were only more than 20 people, they were suppressed by their cultivation and could not break through the encirclement for a while.
"Humans actually appeared..." The spirit fox elders who did not believe it before were shocked at this moment. Although Hua Liangchen and Hua Ningyan had mentioned this before, they believed more in the magic circle set by the elder, because the elder led them through hundreds of years in peace.
Hundreds of years of comfort have made them have an almost blind trust in the deceased elder.
"What do you want to do, human?" Hua Ningyan's father, the current clan leader, Hua Zelei, stood in the front. It was already tall and sturdy, and its white hair was slightly blown up at this moment, making it look more imposing.
"This spirit fox is very good!" The monks all had bright eyes when they saw Hua Zelei.
With a cultivation level of the middle stage of the golden elixir, and a fierceness that was not inferior to that of the wolf clan, Hua Zelei was simply an ideal spirit pet.
Even the city lord Xiang Gao was very tempted. He had mediocre qualifications, and it was already quite difficult for him to break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He felt that he could only reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul at most in his life, but if he could get a spirit fox like Hua Zelei and cultivate it, he might be able to grow to the God of Transformation in the future.
In this way, even if he died, their Xiang family would have a spirit fox of the God of Transformation to protect them, ensuring that they would remain strong in Qirong City for the next thousand years.
"You should be the leader of the spirit fox clan." Xiang Gao also walked out of the crowd, and instantly released the aura of a powerful Yuanying to create pressure: "We came here this time for no other purpose, just to recruit you as spirit pets."
Because Xiang Gao's cultivation is much higher than Hua Zelei, his attitude does not need to be polite at all, and even has the majesty of a superior.
After all, if the master has no majesty, the spirit pet will not be in awe, and may even turn around and kill the master at that time, so Xiang Gao's attitude is very tough: "We don't want to kill, I hope you don't do stupid things."
"Spirit pet? Us?" Hua Zelei laughed: "Although our lineage has declined a lot after leaving the main line, it is not that any human who comes here is qualified for us to recognize him as the master."
"Why do this when you know you have no chance of winning?" Xiang Gao knew that it was impossible to subdue them with just a few words. Although the cultivation of the spirit foxes present was not very high, creatures with high intelligence were generally unwilling to be inferior to others.
"It's better to die than to live on your knees."
As if responding to Hua Zelei, the spirit foxes also took a fighting posture. Having lived freely for so long, they are unwilling to follow humans, and they have no good feelings towards humans.
"Are you sure?" Xiang Gao raised his eyebrows, and soon several Jindan came forward with more than ten unconscious spirit foxes.
"Third uncle! Fifth uncle!" Soon, a relative in the spirit fox group shouted out: "Let them go!"
As the city lord, Xiang Gao's wrist was quite iron-blooded. He believed that killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was a good way. The cultivation of more than ten spirit foxes was not very high, so it was appropriate to kill them like chickens: "If they don't obey, they will die."
Seeing the spirit foxes were silent, Xiang Gao waved his hand and signaled the Jindan to take action, kill a few, put pressure on the spirit foxes, and defeat their psychological defenses and resistance consciousness.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing this, Ye Yong quickly removed the prop effect and appeared.
Ye Yong originally planned to wait until the city lord and his men forced the spirit foxes into a desperate situation before he appeared to rescue them. Now if he was a second slower, it would not be a desperate situation, but a situation of life and death.
Although most of the fox spirits present looked cute, they were actually quite proud. Killing the unconscious fox spirits would not scare them, but would ignite their determination to fight to the death.
At this time, Ye Yong also understood why in the novel, Hua Ningyan's clan would be completely wiped out, but Hua Ningyan, who escaped by chance, cultivated into a powerful demon cultivator and went back to take revenge. It turned out that the city lord's approach was too radical. He thought he was sure of victory from the beginning and did not pay attention to step-by-step.
If it were Ye Yong, he would definitely hold those spirit foxes as hostages and not touch them. The Linghu clan is now at a disadvantage and will not take the initiative to attack. At this time, the correct solution is to take advantage of the hostages' safety and gradually eliminate their thoughts of resistance.
Just kill a few hostages at this point, what's the point? Spirit foxes are not like humans. Their clan is very united. They will get angry when their companions die, and they will fight back when they are angry. After the counterattack, the city lord's team will also fight back. The counterattack will lead to the death of more spirit foxes, and more spirit foxes will die. Death will make those who are not dead even more crazy, which is a situation of endless death.
Of course, the city lord is a strong person in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. As the lord of a city, he is equivalent to the earth emperor in the city. He is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. It's normal to be arrogant when facing a creature that is weaker than yourself. What he did was actually right. The only thing wrong was that he used it on the spirit fox and chose the wrong target.
Ye Yong's appearance instantly attracted everyone/fox's attention.
After all, his appearance, clothing and temperament are simply not comparable to those of the rich kids who followed him. It's like a phoenix facing a group of pheasants.
"Who is your Excellency?" The city lord frowned slightly, with many thoughts welling up in his heart.
"It's him! Father, it was that human who saved me!" Hua Liangchen also immediately recognized Ye Yong: "I will never forget the stench on his body!"
Ye Yong, who was about to make a handsome appearance, rolled his eyes instantly when he heard this. He only removed the shielding effect of the prop's aura and forgot to cancel the beast-avoiding incense.
