Chapter 147: Charmed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was naturally a fox as its name suggested; it was also a very famous kind of fox on the continent!
This kind of fox was born with three tails, and it was a tier-three demonic beast since birth. Its power wasn’t just one of the most terrifying, but the most terrifying among the tier-threes!
Rumor has it that the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox could cultivate and absorb the essence of the heaven and earth to slowly evolved to become the Four-Tailed Fox King or the Five-Tailed Fox Emperor eventually. Of course, it was all just a legend; no one had heard of a fox-type Demonic Emperor in history.
However, it was—without a doubt—that the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was the most terrifying demonic beast in all the tier-three. Twenty years ago, a horrible incident happened on the Mt. Martial Origin in the Saint Spirit Kingdom. The child of a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was attacked and killed by a group of adventurers. The fox furiously descended Mt. Martial Origin in extreme anger and slaughtered everyone in the city at the foot of the mountain. Amongst them, there were even two martial experts from the Soul Travel Realm!
The ruler of the Saint Spirit Kingdom was fuming with rage and ordered a troop of martial experts to capture the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox. The lowest rank of the martial experts in the troop was at least the third stage of the Soul Travel Realm. In the end, four out of eighteen Soul Travel Realm martial experts died a horrible death before they managed to kill the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox.
The body of the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was very small, its speed wasn’t fast, and the strength of its claws and teeth were also very weak. The only mode of attack it had would be its demonic arts. Its body could release a kind of foxy fragrance which could send the martial artists into a psychedelic state. Martial experts who were either not powerful enough or didn’t have a strong soul would be charmed by the fragrance and be under the control of the fox.
The powers of Liu Lao and Ji Lao were obviously not strong enough since they were only at the second stage and the third stage of the Soul Travel Realm respectively. Hence, Liu Lao retreated immediately after he discovered the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox from far away. He didn’t even dare to go and save Jiang Yi. If he was charmed by the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, he would become its puppet, and everyone who was present at the scene would have to die!
“Boss!”
“Jiang Yi!”
“Big Brother Jiang Yi!”
Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, and Zhan Lin’er screamed involuntarily at the same time. Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan broke away from Liu Lao and Ji Lao’s hands and were about to rush towards the collapsed cave entrance when two hand blades swung downward. Both of them rolled their eyes and blacked out after their bodies went soft. With the wave of Ji Lao’s hand, the body of Zhan Lin’er went soft as well.
Ensuring the young clan head’s safety was the number one priority for the secret guards. In case of any dangerous emergency, nothing else was important except for ensuring the life of the young clan head.
“Everyone, stop breathing! Do not make any sound; if not, die!”
Liu Lao scanned the surroundings using his murderous eyes. All the men from the Qian Clan covered their mouths and squatted on the floor immediately, without uttering a single sound. This wasn’t just about ensuring the safety of Qian Wanguan’s life: everyone would die if they were discovered by the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox.
“There is no need to be too worried. That Three-Tailed Spirit Fox is still young; it shouldn’t be able to notice us.”
Liu Lao saw how tensed and worried everyone was and was afraid that they might end up making a mistake instead. So he moved his mouth and sent a message to everyone. Of course, it was all but words to comfort the people. No matter how young the Three-Tailed Spirit was, it was more than capable to deal with them as that foxy fragrance was a deadly existence.
However, Liu Lao did not lose hope because he managed to retreat once he discovered the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox. Both he and Ji Lao saw that the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox came from the forest afar and had its eyes locked on Jiang Yi who was hunting for demonic beasts all this time. It shouldn’t have noticed them.
...
“Ji-Ji!”
The Three-Tailed Spirit Fox indeed didn’t notice the group of people. Its small gem-liked eyes were fixated on Jiang Yi. It looked tiny. Its body was about the size of a kitten, and it was snowy white without a single strand of stray hair. The three gorgeous tails on its butt were swaying non-stop; it was obviously attracted by the leftover fragrance of Ambergris.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yi did not have any idea that danger was coming. This was because the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox didn’t have a single trace of the violent aura which would normally be emitted by powerful demonic beasts. Instead, it looked like an adorable little kitten.
Jiang Yi saw the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox long ago, but he totally ignored it and continued waving his dagger, attacking the few remaining demonic beasts.
“Ji-Ji!”
It seemed like it was the first time the little fox had seen a human being. Its eyes were full of curiosity, and it even squealed twice at Jiang Yi. However, it was frightened at Jiang Yi’s bloodshot eyes which suddenly shot towards its direction, causing it to take two steps back. It soon walked towards Jiang Yi quietly.
“Boom!”
Jiang Yi continued attacking; he jumped high and struck the dagger into the head of a yellow ape, causing this peak-stage tier-one primate demonic beast to have a bloody hole on his head. Jiang Yi used his body and sent a kick at the yellow ape’s burly body. He flipped his body around, stepped on the ape, and launched an attack the last two tiger-type demonic beasts.
“He!”
The powers of the two tiger-type beasts were not strong. They belonged to the lower grades amongst the tier-two demonic beasts. And under Jiang Yi’s ferocious attack, they soon fell dead on the ground.
Jiang Yi’s body was covered in the blood of the demonic beasts. He stood proudly in the wilderness while there were demonic beasts’ carcasses lying everywhere. His blood-shot eyes scanned the surroundings, and a sense of eeriness flashed past the trace of consciousness that he had. Why hadn’t Zhan Wushuang attack and knock him out after the battle ended?
His blood-red eyes glanced towards the rocky peak, and he was surprised to see that the entrance to the rock cave had actually collapsed? He hesitated for a moment but didn’t give much thought to it. His mind was quickly occupied by the bloodthirsty desire to attack. He turned his vision towards the little fox once again, darting towards it.
“Ji-Ji!”
It seemed that the little fox was indeed of a very young age. When it saw Jiang Yi rushing towards it, its body shrank in fear. Instead of attacking, it turned and escaped.
“Die!”
Jiang Yi’s speed was not considered fast, but his Massacre Intent was so strong that it affected the little fox’s speed. With the distance between them decreasing, the little fox was soon being oppressed to the ground by the explosive killing aura. It curled on the ground without moving an inch.
“Ji-Ji!”
The little fox turned its head and looked at Jiang Yi in fear: its little eyes were seeking for mercy, and its expression was full of humanity. It didn’t look like a powerful demonic beast at all; instead, it resembled that of an adorable little kitten.
At that moment, Jiang Yi had fallen into a state of berserk; and he couldn’t see the little fox’s expression at all. The killing aura became more and more terrifying as he approached, and the little fox couldn’t stop trembling in fear.
In the end, an eerie white light flashed past its eyes; and its body began releasing a wisp of sultry fragrance.
Fox Fragrance!
The terrifying fox fragrance which could charm the martial artists from the Soul Travel Realm was finally being released. Jiang Yi didn’t seem to have noticed it, and he continued darting forward.
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s nose twitched suddenly the next moment. He seemed to have noticed something. That trace of consciousness in his mind once again occupied his soul, and he could instinctively feel deadly danger approaching him.
“Boom!”
His body collapsed on the ground, and his eyes rolled back as though he had fainted. He knew that he didn’t lose consciousness. It was that... his body couldn’t be controlled by his own consciousness!
What is happening?
Jiang Yi was extremely terrified. He wanted to scream out loud, but he found out that he couldn’t move his mouth. At this moment, his eyes automatically reverted to black and white; and his mind was exceptionally clear. He could actually exit the state Massacre Intent voluntarily.
Everything about his body was fine, and his soul could still be felt in his mind. The problem was that he completely lost control of his body!
What... what is this thing?!
He soon found the reason. He noticed that an image of a silhouette had appeared in his mind. It was the image of a pretty little fox, and it was wandering inside his soul—devouring his soul!
Little fox? A bizarre fragrance? Could it be a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox?!
Jiang Yi woke up instantly. He had heard of the legend of the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, but he fell into the state of the Massacre Intent just now. The Three-Tailed Spirit Fox didn’t have the explosive killing aura of a powerful demonic beast, and so he didn’t pay any special attention to it. Now, he completely understood what was going on.
It’s over. If my soul is charmed by this Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, I would become the puppet of this Three-Tailed Spirit Fox...
