Chapter 16: Playing by my own rules? But my trump card is pretty strong!
'There are too many people around...' After watching the video, Shen Yun glanced at the crowd around him and decided to go up the mountain to find a secluded place to enter the forest.
The early appearance of the Heavenly Demon Fox was indeed a surprise to him.
But this is for the best. If we wait until midnight when the monsters descend to look for them, taking out the Heart-Nourishing Flower will definitely attract many monsters.
This way, unnecessary trouble can be reduced...
……
More than half an hour later.
Seeing that there was no one in front or behind him, Shen Yun quickly walked into the mountain forest path by the roadside.
Along the way, weeds grew in abundance and branches were scattered everywhere.
He needs to find a secluded place to retrieve the Heart-Nourishing Flower and try to attract the Heavenly Demon Fox.
After a long while.
Having found a suitable spot, Shen Yun took out a jade box containing spiritual herbs from his backpack and slowly opened it.
Soon, a rich fragrance spread, drifting in all directions on the breeze.
“An animal that has become a spirit must have a sensitive nose, so I just have to wait.” Sitting on the ground, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the spiritual spring, drank two mouthfuls, and immediately felt full of energy and all his fatigue was swept away.
And you know what? This stuff is incredibly effective at replenishing energy.
'The fox has a teleportation ability, it would be embarrassing if it got stolen...' Thinking of this, he quickly stuffed the jade box into his arms and hugged it.
He also took the magical artifact, the mechanical cone, out of the game and clipped it to his waist, ready to attack at any time.
Having done all this, he waited quietly...
……
The night is deep.
The mountains were completely silent, without even a whisper of wind.
The pale moonlight enveloped the quiet mountains, adding a touch of mystery.
"It's past eight o'clock..." Shen Yun scanned the quiet mountain forest back and forth:
"If they don't show up soon, we'll have to wait until midnight to see."
He's been waiting since afternoon, and not a single monster has gotten close. A few mischievous monkeys, however, threw stones at him, only to be taught a lesson by the reflective effect of the Heart-Protecting Mirror.
Feeling a bit bloated, Shen Yun went to his usual spot and urinated. He had drunk quite a lot of water today, and he had even urinated into a large hole under the tree.
Suddenly, he shuddered and almost splattered his shoes. He saw a white fox, pure white with a faint silver sheen, perched on a large tree not far away, tilting its head and scrutinizing him.
His eyes were clear and not fierce, as if he was curious about why he smelled of medicine.
What caught Shen Yun's attention was that it had two tails that swayed slightly under the branches!
'Hey! It's finally here!' Shen Yun, secretly thrilled, shuddered.
I love your adorable, silly expression!
He reached into his robe and plucked a petal from a heart-nourishing flower, then waved it towards him:
"Hey hey~ come here, this is for you."
As the petals were torn open, glistening sap flowed from the cracks, and the fragrance of the flowers intensified at that moment.
In addition, the quality of the Heart-Nourishing Flower is excellent, and it has its own halo effect, making it look incredibly mystical.
'This is enough to make you, little guy, dizzy!' Shen Yun saw the white fox's tail wagging faster and faster, and figured it was tempted.
But just then!
He noticed a silent gray streak of light shooting towards the white fox's back!
'Someone is capturing it?!' Shen Yun's eyes narrowed.
He waited here for a long time but didn't encounter any powerful monsters, so it could only be a human!
Before he could even offer a word to remind her to boost her favorability, the white fox vanished in a flash.
'wipe!'
"Damn it!!!" With a low shout, two figures rushed out from the woods not far away.
When they saw Shen Yun under the big tree, they were clearly taken aback.
The bald man in the lead, dressed in a ghillie suit, squinted at Shen Yun's glowing chest and smiled faintly:
"So that's why this fox ran so far! It smelled the magical treasure in your arms, little brother!"
"Brother, it seems we've run into a fellow traveler!" The woman beside him said warily.
They were ordered by their boss to capture this intelligent white fox. The young man opposite them, however, was using a fragrant treasure to lure the fox; their goals were clearly aligned!
The bald man, with sharp eyes, noticed that Shen Yun had put his hand behind his waist, holding a specially made gray pistol and pointing it at him.
"Don't move! Hand over the treasure you're carrying! This gun is incredibly powerful..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he pulled the trigger:
'I don't like being interrogated in a predictable way!'
Since we're going to get the treasure anyway, why not just kill them instead of wasting so much time on nonsense!
And he found this unexpected method to be consistently effective.
Swish~!
A dark gray bullet shot out from the muzzle without making a sound, striking Shen Yun with lightning speed.
To the bald man's surprise, the young man showed no sign of despair on his face, but rather a hint of... mockery?!
'Oops!!'
next moment!
Buzz!
A tremor emanated from Shen Yun's body.
The protective mirror automatically deflected the strange gray bullet, which struck the bald man who was about to turn and flee at the back of the head.
puff! ! !
The bullet pierced his skull, killing him instantly!
'A protective magic item?!' This shocked the woman standing nearby. Someone who could possess a defensive magic item and successfully attract a white fox with something?!
We've met our match!
Not daring to linger, she leaped out like a cheetah!
'You think you can escape?!' Shen Yun wouldn't give her a chance, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he pressed the button on the Soul-Shattering Mechanism Cone in his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two silver needles of spiritual energy pierced through the void and swiftly struck the woman's back.
In an instant, she felt as if her brain nerves had been ripped apart, and she screamed in pain:
"what!!!"
A piercing scream echoed through the mountains.
In just a moment, the woman, bleeding from all seven orifices and convulsing all over in pain, became completely still.
"Playing by your own rules? Too bad my trump card is pretty strong." Shen Yun coldly administered an injection to the two corpses, only relaxing when there was no reaction.
"This magic weapon is quite useful, but its cry is a bit creepy."
A spiritual attack is more painful than a physical injury.
Without methods to strengthen one's soul, being attacked is an extremely unpleasant experience.
Shen Yun has a deep understanding of this.
Because he was once taken into the Human Emperor Banner by the evil cultivator, the Old Man of Evil Ghosts, he still shudders at the thought of it.
'When you old idiot descend upon Earth, I'll make you a Human Emperor Banner so you can experience it too!' Shaking off the unpleasant memories, Shen Yun glanced at the corpse and turned to get his backpack.
As for the special gun for men, forget about it. He doesn't know how to use it, and it would be troublesome if someone marked it and came looking for him.
"It's a pity the white fox was scared away..." He looked around with regret, but there was no trace of the white fox.
Animals are very vigilant, let alone such intelligent beasts; they will surely remember him if they encounter danger.
Even if the allure of the heart-nourishing flower is there, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare come.
But just as Shen Yun turned to leave, the sight of a white figure in his peripheral vision filled him with joy:
Still there?!
He saw the snow-white fox standing behind the tree where he had urinated earlier, watching him warily, while sniffing the...urine stains on the tree roots with its pink nose!
'Is it attracted by my... cough cough, Divine Essence Spring?'
