The calamity of Green Hill

Fox Mother turned the thought over and made her decision. "Pass the order down. Evacuate immediately!"

"Do not leave through the front or back doors. Soldiers and Daoists are already outside. Use the secret passage."

The mansion's secret passage stretched for several li. Entering here and emerging at the other end would take them clear of the mountain, straight to the Coiling Dragon River.

"Hill Lord, disaster! Our secret passage's exit has been sealed off!" The fox sent to scout the passage came running back almost immediately, covered in dust and grime, with a patch of fur scorched black.

A frantic explanation made the situation clear to every fox present.

A large fox steadied himself. "This cannot be a misunderstanding. They discovered our secret passage in advance and destroyed it to prevent our escape. They laid a net across heaven and earth long ago, intent on killing us all."

"Yes, Hill Lord, what do we do now?"

Every large fox could sense the oppressive force gradually closing in from all directions. With it came the despair of beasts trapped in a cage, unable to escape.

When experts clashed, they did not need to trade a few head-on blows to tell who was stronger. This formation alone had already told the foxes that things were dire.

"Why? Why did our foresight give us no warning?"

Daoists naturally countered the demon race, and soldiers could suppress them as well. With advance preparations, overwhelming numbers, and secret arts to use against them, how could the foxes possibly be a match?

"Hill Lord, we have no way out. What do we do now? Charge out and fight to the death?" Despair showed on one fox's face.

How could Fox Mother not feel grief and outrage herself?

Their Qingqiu Fox Tribe was unlike wild foxes
