Chapter 242: Chapter 202: Gold-eating Fox

While a battle ensued, the lower-level and weak villagers of Freedom Village could only step back in fear. Such a level of combat was beyond their capabilities, leaving them simply watching anxiously, unable to help.

Under the cover of all the commotion, unbeknownst to all, a small figure secretly emerged from behind a pile of shabby houses made of wood and stone in the darkness.

Upon careful observation, one would notice that this figure, no larger than a wildcat, had a large tail, a sharp beak and resembled a small fox.

However, this fox was rather unusual. It had bright red hair and golden skin. Together, they gave off a fiery golden hue. Especially its round eyes faintly glowed with a golden shimmer. At the moment, everyone was either engaged in the battle or too tense from observing the situation that not a single person took notice of this tiny little fiery golden fox.

The little fiery golden fox looked around, seeming rather eerie with its eyes faintly radiating golden light. It didn’t linger and immediately focused its gaze on Su Yu, who was meditating alone in a state of selflessness.

After hearing Meng Ting and others speak, Su Yu had a revelation and decided to meditate. He had been sitting there for a day. Now, everything about him seemed normal except for the occasional glittering golden lines that appeared on his right thumb.

This golden fox, however, appeared to be transfixed by these lines emanating from Su Yu’s thumb. Its eyes were locked onto Su Yu from afar, despite knowing that it could be in imminent danger.

Though no one seemed to notice the gold flecks, to this golden fox, the golden blood within Su Yu’s thumb was like the world’s most tantalizing treasure.

This fox, with fire-red fur and gold skin, was an extraordinarily rare creature. It was named "Gold-eating Fox". It didn’t possess any formidable offensive capabilities but it had one peculiar ability. It could find and consume "Golden Blood" from around the world, hence its name.

People like Lei Yu had caught its attention, leading them to chase it here. In fact, it was because the "Gold-eating Fox" had sensed the drop of "Golden Blood" within Su Yu.

While the attack power of the Gold-eating Fox was not strong, it was incredibly cunning. It concealed itself until the battle began, then stealthily emerged. The drop of Golden Blood within Su Yu was too tempting for it to resist, compelling it to take the risk and stick around.

Though this "Gold-eating Fox" was small, its body was purely golden in color, suggesting that it had consumed a large number of monsters with golden blood lineage.

For instance, creatures like Golden Goblins possess a hint of golden blood, but this lineage is too thin for other monsters to obtain any Golden Blood, even after consuming an entire Golden Goblin. But the situation was different for the Gold-eating Fox. Once it consumed a creature with golden blood lineage, it could refine the blood within its body, excrete the impurities through its hair, and produce pure Golden Blood within its body.

This ability was unique to the "Gold-eating Fox", making it extremely valuable.

This "Gold-eating Fox", whose body had transformed into pure gold, had refined an abundance of Golden Blood within. At this moment, a drop of Golden Blood within Su Yu’s thumb posed an immense temptation for it.

The blood lineage from a mature Golden Goblin King, entirely refined, might not be able to yield even half a drop of Golden Blood, let alone from a regular Golden Goblin.

One can fathom the rareness of a drop of Golden Blood.

The Gold-eating Fox watched Su Yu as it carefully scanned the surroundings. Finding itself not noticed, it quietly approached Su Yu. It had long noticed Su Yu. It deduced that Su Yu was lost in a state of selflessness and at this moment, he was defenceless, providing it an ideal opportunity.

The Gold-eating Fox continually moved closer to Su Yu’s thumb, ready to bite it off and flee. With its remarkable speed, even if Lei Yu and others were to find out, they would not be able to catch it in time.

The Gold-eating Fox was notorious for its cunning and swift speed.

At this moment, the droplet of Golden Blood in Su Yu’s right thumb seemed to be boiling, its aura made it nearly impossible for the Gold-eating Fox to control itself.

The Gold-eating Fox could sense the same boiling sensation within its body where the Golden Blood it had refined was now also churning. Evidently, its Golden Blood was resonating with the Golden Blood in Su Yu’s right thumb, as if they were originally from the same body and were now echoing each other, longing to merge back together.

Calculating the distance, the Gold-eating Fox sprang forward, throwing caution to the wind, and bit down on Su Yu’s slightly raised right thumb.

At this moment, Su Yu was indeed in a state of utter selflessness.

After hearing about the Fifth Order Path from Meng Ting during the day, Su Yu had a sudden realization in his mind, he sat down cross-legged. He sat for most of the day, entranced by the breakthrough he had made in his special power.

As he gradually understood the way to evolution and transformation, Su Yu had reached the threshold of a breakthrough to Level Five. It was at this moment that the droplet of Golden Blood, which had always been dormant in his right thumb, began to stir.

The appearance of Golden Blood coincided with Su Yu being in this peculiar state. His Golden Blood unexpectedly resonated with the Golden Blood in the Gold-eating Fox.

The Golden Blood gradually boiled, and the power it released immediately suppressed his special powers. Su Yu’s original understanding of the path of mutation, once again enhanced, advanced into the understanding of the power of the Golden Blood. At the same time, his Golden Feather had also undergone an abnormal change.

This Golden Feather, left by the eagle-headed golden creature Su Yu had encountered in the Fire Elemental Space, was given to Ada after the golden creature recognized who she was. As Ada’s constant companion, Su Yu became the indirect owner of the Golden Feather.

That day in the Fire Elemental Space, Su Yu and the others were trapped by hundreds of Fire Rock People and Magma Fire Demons. At the dangerous moment, it was the Golden Feather that played a crucial role, enabling Ada and Su Yu to resonate and release a combined spiritual attack they were unable to perform due to Ada’s recently hatched state. Without it, they might have been annihilated in the Fire Elemental Space.

This Golden Feather, in essence, saved their lives once.

Although it’s just a feather from the eagle-headed golden creature, in reality, this Golden Feather is actually a transformed physical manifestation of Golden Blood. Its power surpasses a pile of treasure weapons. Unfortunately, Su Yu was not at a high enough level and could not bring out its potential.

This feather left by the eagle-headed golden creature, in fact, gave Su Yu an opportunity and seed for evolution. "It" believed that one day this seed would sprout and grow. Along with certain opportunities, it could possibly grow into a towering tree. Of course, in the mind of the eagle-headed creature, this would happen in countless ages to come.

At this moment, when the Golden Blood in Su Yu’s and the Gold-eating Fox’s bodies started resonating, it surprisingly also affected the Golden Feather. The originally solid Golden Feather slowly began to melt. Drops of golden liquid streamed down Su Yu’s chest, seeping into his body.

At this moment, Su Yu was in a state of selflessness, which made the integration incredibly rapid; these rare opportunities were all encountered by him.

If Su Yu were not in the state of selflessness, and if the Gold-eating Fox had not appeared, who knows how much longer it would have taken for him to integrate this Golden Feather into his body. In the calculations of the eagle-headed creature, the day Su Yu could integrate this Golden Feather would be the true start of the evolution program. He would genuinely become the seed of most perfect existence and gain a tiny hint of opportunity.

Numerous races could evolve into a perfect life form, but the likelihood is only one in a million. Being able to merge with this Golden Feather means having this qualification. However, whether the evolution is successful still depends on great luck and unimaginable effort. Many life forms have perished on this path.

The Golden Feather gradually liquified and merged into Su Yu’s body. At the same time, the Gold-eating Fox bit down on Su Yu’s right thumb.

With the sharpness of the Gold-eating Fox’s teeth, it could have easily broken a piece of rock. It realized that, since Su Yu was in the state of selflessness, his right thumb did not mutate despite the occasional manifestation of golden patterns. It was still made of flesh and blood. Naturally, one bite could sever it.

Before the power of the Golden Feather entered his body, the Gold-eating Fox’s estimate was not wrong. With one bite, it could indeed bite off Su Yu’s right thumb, then swallow and refine the Golden Blood within, and flee far away. It would then take a significant step on the path of evolution.
