Little Fox's Surprise (1)

"Hmph, easy for you to say. Find another body? As far as I know, that's very difficult!" Clark said mockingly. "Souls are extremely fragile. Without something to strengthen your soul, once you lose your body, you'll die without even a place to be buried."

Hearing this, Little Fox glared at Clark in displeasure. But it didn't argue, because Clark was right: souls were extremely fragile. To find another body, it needed something to strengthen its soul and keep it from dispersing. Otherwise, its soul would slowly dissipate over time.

"Little Fox, stop resisting and come here. Don't worry, I won't treat you like that again," Clark said. As he spoke, he slowly walked toward Little Fox, intending to catch it.

But Little Fox had long since grown averse to him. How could it let Clark catch it again? It immediately jumped away, then dashed into the forest without hesitation.

"Hmph, trying to escape? Dream on." Clark snorted. Then he muttered something under his breath. It was so obscure that probably only Clark himself could understand it.

After muttering for a moment, he suddenly slapped the ground. A black chain shot out of his palm and headed straight into the forest.

The chain sped forward, its target Little Fox, who was running ahead.

"Bastard, he's using that move again." Little Fox's expression changed when it saw the black chain behind it, and it sped up again.

It was wary of the chain because it was connected to the collar around its neck. If the black chain caught it, it would lose its freedom once more and become Clark's slave, doing his bidding.

So, no matter what, it absolutely could not let the black chain touch it.

It immediately picked up speed and quickly left the black chain behind.

But a moment later, the black chain caught up again.

Little Fox was frustrated and immediately climbed a tree. After reaching the very top, it jumped down again. It kept climbing up and down trees to make the black chain stretch farther. That way, Clark would have to expend a great deal of stamina to catch it, since the black chain was tied to his stamina. Once his stamina ran out, it would be safe.

"Bastard, how dare you toy with me like this! Just you wait, I won't let you get away with it." Outside, Clark felt his stamina draining rapidly and grew annoyed. Though he didn't know what was happening inside the forest, he knew Little Fox must have used some trick to keep him from catching it.

He pondered for a moment, then immediately retracted the black chain. Then he ran into the forest himself.

He sensed the collar's location as he headed toward it. He intended to get close to Little Fox and use the black chain again. That way, it would be much less likely to escape.

"Has he given up?" When Little Fox saw the black chain disappear, it paused for a moment. But shortly afterward, it started running again, because it sensed a familiar aura approaching.

It didn't have to think to know which bastard it was. Apart from that hateful Clark, it didn't have any friends on this island. It had never been here before.

"I have to escape, I have to escape! I absolutely can't let that bastard catch me, or I'll never have another chance to get away," Little Fox said.

This was its first escape attempt, but it felt it would be its last. It would either escape with its life or be caught by Clark and imprisoned forever. But it had already decided that if it really couldn't escape and was about to be caught by Clark, it would rather self-destruct than go back and endure that pain.

Little Fox ran aimlessly, not knowing whether it could escape. It only hoped to get farther away and hide as far away as possible.

After it had run for two hours, that familiar aura was still behind it and showed no sign of disappearing. Little Fox felt helpless.

"Hm? There's a human over there?" Little Fox suddenly sensed a human presence in a dense forest.

It was delighted. It couldn't get away right now, but if it could get the human in there to fight Clark, things would be easier for it. If the human dealt with Clark, it would be completely free.

It didn't hesitate and immediately headed for the dense forest.

When it got close, it was about to rush in. Suddenly, it sensed a powerful soul aura emanating from within the dense forest. Souls were mysterious, invisible and intangible, yet they truly existed. Generally speaking, few people paid attention to souls because they were too fragile. As soon as they were exposed to light, they would disappear within minutes. So, to this day, no one took souls seriously.

But it was different. It had originally been a powerful demonic beast with great attainments in matters of the soul. It had merely suffered severe injuries in a great battle, causing its strength to drop sharply. But although its strength had fallen, its soul had been largely unaffected.

"Heaven is helping me! Heaven really is helping me! Haha, even if I lose my body, as long as I enter the other person's body, I can survive in another way." Little Fox's eyes darted as it said, "With such a powerful soul, my strength shouldn't be harmed."

"Let's go, he's the one. This time, I can finally get rid of that bastard for good." Little Fox snorted and said viciously, "Clark, just you wait. I'll show you what pain means."

With that, it hesitated no longer and rushed into the dense forest.

There were two people in the dense forest. From their appearance, it was clear that they were none other than Fanxin and the woman he had saved.

After rescuing her, Fanxin had run all the way into the depths of the dense forest to hide.

They had then arrived here. Sensing that no one was pursuing them, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped here to rest for the time being.

After resting for a while, the girl gradually calmed down. Knowing that Fanxin wouldn't hurt her, she was completely reassured.

"Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you this time, I might have already..." the girl said. She stopped halfway through, knowing that Fanxin could probably guess what would have happened next.

"Mm, but don't think about it anymore. You're free now. Once things have quieted down, go home," Fanxin comforted her.

"I don't have any family left. Those people killed them all." Hearing this, the girl began to weep again, crying bitterly.
