Chapter 76: Fighting with the Seven-tails fox
The Yang brothers and Li Lin looked at Chun Hua with surprise. It was so rare to meet a beast tamer in this world.
“Miss, are you a beast tamer?” They all asked at once.
“Sir Li Lin, can we come along to that place?” Joey asked.
“5th prince, it will be a perilous trip. But, if you decide to come along, then I can only agree with you.” Prime minister Li Lin replied.
The following day, six people stood around a large rock with many drawings of Phoenixes on it. Beside them was a waterfall. Then, they all held the stone, picked it up, and removed it from the spot. Like before, an array formation activated, producing bright light. After that, all of them were teleported inside a forest.
“Is it the Paulownia tree, the nest of the ancient Phoenix as described in that book?” Joey asked while looking at the giant tree inside the forest.
Captain Chao nodded.
Joey held Chun Hua’s hand and asked,” Sister Chun, will there be a problem if you tame lvl 7 beasts now?”
“No, there will be no problem even if I tame a lvl 9 beast. It is just that if the beast is stronger than the tamer, then it will be impossible to subdue the beast first.” Chun Hua replied. For now, her strongest beast was the lvl 4 giant Condor.
Then Captain Chao took out a map made up of beast skin. Everyone looked at the map.
“This is the sketch of the map that we drew here. The yellow dots here were the territories of lvl 7 beasts.” Yang Bojing explained. There were around fifty-five yellow dots and two red dots each on the opposite edges of the map.
“What about these two red dots?” Joey asked, pointing at the two red dots.
“It is the location of the two lvl 8 beasts. I will never go there again.” Yang Bojing replied.
“Senior Bojing, what types of the beast are those fifty-five lvl 7 beasts?” Joey asked.
Then, Captain Chao took out a book and gave it to him. It has sixty-one pages. Each page wrote a detail of a beast. Their experience encountering those beasts. Joey read all of the pages and kept the book inside his space ring.
“Captain Chao, what about the other six lvl 7 beasts? I can’t find them on the map.” Joey asked.
“Oh, about that, we have killed them already.” Yang Bojing replied.
“Where should we go first?” Li Lin asked, looking at Joey.
“We are going there.” Joey pointed at a yellow dot on the map.
“No,” Bojing shouted.
“Little brother, where are your manners?” Captain Chao scolded.
“5th prince, sorry about that. But, we can’t hunt that ‘seven-tails fox.’ It is too dangerous.” Captain Chao said.
“Don’t worry. If it becomes too dangerous, we will escape. Let’s go there.” Joey said.
Then he took out six small white bottles. He sprinkled the powder in one of the bottles all over his body and passed the remaining five to each of them.
“Aah! Tier 4 Traceless powder, good good. With this, our chance of survival will increase.” Captain Chao said.
They all sprinkled the powder all over their bodies. Then, they started walking toward the direction of the Seven-Tails Fox.
Inside a cave, a seven-tails fox was currently eating its meals. While outside the cave, six people were observing the cave from inside a bush nearby. They had been studying all the habits of the fox for a week.
The fox always came out of its cave every night. And it slept during the day. It sometimes ate some fruits found near its cave and sometimes hunted some rabbits for its meat. Other times, it always stayed inside its cave lazily.
“We will act tonight,” Joey said. Tonight is a new moon day. During a new moon day, seven-tails fox strength will drop. So, they decided to catch the fox tonight.
As usual, when the sky turned dark, the fox came out of its cave to search for its prey. As it walked two steps ahead, suddenly, an array formation activated and pressed it on the ground. It cried angrily.
At that time, six figures appeared and surrounded it in a circle. Joey and Chu Hua controlled the array formation while the other four attacked it at the same time. It cried with pain and tried to stand up, but the array formation still pressed it down on the ground.
The four kept attacking it until it wailed for the last time and fainted on the ground spreading its tongue.
Then they stopped and approached it. At that time, it suddenly stood up and glared at them. A green color flashed on its eyes, and all the six of them stood there still like a stone. The array formation was deactivated and vanished quickly.
It looked toward them and felt that Joey was the weakest among them. So, it sprinted toward him and slashed its long nails at Joey’s neck.
At that time, the lotus tattoo on his forehead rotated quickly, and he woke up. Then, he dodged the attack.
“Wake up!” Joey shouted, and everyone woke up from their stupor.
“What a terrifying illusion spell!” Captain Chao exclaimed.
“Everyone, it is due to its eyes. Don’t make direct eye contact with it. “Li Lin shouted.
At the same time, the fox stepped back and observed them. It jumped up in the air, and suddenly another six clones appeared and pounced at them.
They all moved out quickly. But, all the six foxes vanished in the air.
“Another trick! What is it planning to do?” Yang Bojing said and looked at the sky.
They saw the fox currently channeling a spell. Seven fireballs appeared on the tips of its seven tails. Then it threw the fireballs toward them.
Bojing used a war hammer, and Captain Chao used his bow and arrows while Li Lin used a fan. Wu Tong also used a long staff. Then they channeled their strongest skills at the incoming fireballs. While Joey held Chun Hua by her waist and quickly moved out of the attacking range.
Bang bang bang…
The six fireballs exploded. While the impact of the explosions threw the four of them coughing blood in the air.
