Six-Tailed Fox (4/5)

At the same time, in some distant, unnamed mountain forest.

"Ah!"

A fox, entirely white except for a touch of crimson between its brows and ear tips, let out a miserable scream.

This fox is not only several times larger than a normal fox, but it also has as many as six tails.

However, when she let out a scream.

Those six waving tails made her look even more like a madwoman.

"Who? Who is that guy?!"

The image of the boy with red hair, three eyes, and wearing a red coat was still reflected in his pupils.

The Six-Tailed Fox's voice sounded unusually shrill at that moment, while the giant spider opposite her burst into laughter.

"Haha-cough-haha"

The laughter was punctuated by coughs, and the Spider Queen, looking exceptionally miserable, still couldn't stop laughing.

Now, the once majestic Spider Queen has had six spider legs cut off, and a penetrating wound on her face has destroyed her three compound eyes.

Even so, the Spider Queen's laughter remained exhilarating—the exhilaration of revenge.

"It was you! You deliberately led me there!"

Realizing what was happening instantly, the Six-Tailed Fox immediately turned its gaze to the Spider Queen.

It was because the Six-Tailed Fox obtained the information from the Spider Queen that it chose to send a wisp of its divine soul along the water vein to the reservoir.

"Ahem---I'm not lying to you, didn't you find what you were looking for there?"

Hearing the Spider Queen's words, the Six-Tailed Fox became even angrier.

"But you didn't tell me that behind that Human-Faced Fish was a Innate Divine Being!"

Faced with the Six-Tailed Fox's angry questioning, the Spider Queen continued to laugh mockingly.

"But you didn't ask me, did you?"

Before the Spider Queen could finish speaking, a flash of cold light severed her remaining two legs.

With a thunderous crash, the Spider Queen, having lost the support of her legs, slammed heavily to the ground, her corrosive blood instantly polluting the Earth Veins of the area.

Who is that red-haired boy?

With an expression as cold as frost, the Six-Tailed Fox walked up to the Spider Queen, his voice filled with murderous intent.

No one doubts that if the Spider Queen reveals misleading information again, the Six-Tailed Fox will not hesitate to kill her.

"Haha. -cough-. Who is he?"

He is the Mountain Folk's prophet, Hou Yi of the witch from a thousand years ago.

"You came to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range in search of the witch's treasure, yet you don't even know this most basic information. It's laughable."

Despite being covered in wounds and outmatched by wolves and foxes, the Spider Queen showed no sign of weakness in her words.

"You're dead! That Red-Haired Ghost God will never let you go!"

So what if you come from the Central Continent? So what if you come from Great Xia?

"That Red-Haired Ghost God forced back the Gods of the Five Directions with a single sword strike. Do you really think you're stronger than the Gods of the Five Directions?"

Is this the physical manifestation of that spiritual being?

As Li Boyang crushed the wisp of spiritual light, what appeared in his hand was a white hair.

The fine hairs were crystal clear and glossy, clearly indicating that they were well-maintained.

It definitely came from a fox that cherishes its fur very much.

"Fox fur?"

Just then, Xiluo, who had appeared on Li Boyang's shoulder at some point, also peeked out.

"Is it a fox causing trouble this time?"

Quietly resting on Li Boyang's shoulder, Xiluo glanced at Chi, who had regained her freedom, as she spoke.

As the black giant hand dissipated, Akaya returned to the bottom of the reservoir.

He only showed his face, cautiously observing Xiluo.

Having spent so much time in this area, Chi certainly knew who the real king and queen were.

"It should be, and it seems to be an outsider fox."

Looking at the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron facing upwards in her other hand, Li Boyang nodded in affirmation of Xiluo's statement.

"Aka, can you tell me what happened now?"

When Li Boyang looked down at the red under the water, she quickly looked away and then answered in a reserved tone.

"Great Arbiter of Fate of Fate, I have always followed your commands and guarded this reservoir."

"But as you know, I have a bit of a glutton, so I always go upstream to catch some goblin fish."

"The fox hair was originally hidden inside a fish, and I didn't realize there was something wrong with the fish until I ate it."

His voice revealed an indescribable sorrow, and Chi's words left Li Boyang and Xiluo completely stunned.

"So, all of this is because you're greedy?"

"If we hadn't arrived in time, would you have blown up the entire reservoir by now?"

Unable to hold back any longer, Xiluo couldn't help but ask a question.

Chi was immediately filled with shame and instinctively blistered.

"Grandmother Mountain God - I'm actually not that greedy - "

"It's all that guy's fault for being too cunning. Who would have thought there was such a thing hidden inside the fish's belly?"

Listening to Chi's explanation with a mix of amusement and exasperation, Li Boyang could understand the other's greed.

After all, if he hadn't been so greedy, he wouldn't have met this Human-Faced Fish in the first place.

Moreover, the fox's methods were indeed very cunning.

In a similar situation, most people wouldn't perform much better than Chi.

"Knowing how to exploit human weaknesses to set traps---"

That fox is probably much smarter and more patient than we think.

If it hadn't been through a long period of observation, the fox would never have known Chi's preferences and had set this trap accordingly.

The question now is, what exactly is that fox planning to do? And why has it set its sights on Red?

And most importantly, was the damage the other side caused to the Mountain God Reservoir intentional or unintentional?

Without sufficient information, even Li Boyang, who possessed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, could only deduce that the fox came from a distant place beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Besides that, the only thing Li Boyang was certain of was that the fox would bring him a lot of trouble.

This was a premonition from his spiritual senses and Primordial Spirit, and Li Boyang had no doubt about its accuracy and authenticity.

"Well, trouble always likes to come uninvited."

"It's always better to be able to foresee things than to try to fix them afterward."

After blinking, Xiluo decided to give up thinking about the fox's origins and instead asked the question she most wanted to know.

"Red, right? How did you get to know this doll?"

"And how did you become the deity of this reservoir? This reservoir was only built a short time ago!"
