Chapter 245: Chapter 178 Cunning Fox!_2

It was at this moment... from inside The Gate, a strong smell of gunpowder wafted through.

"Gunpowder!"

"Quick, run!"

Without needing Sui Yi to tremble, everyone twisted their expressions, several tried to drag the injured lad and rush out, but...

Was there enough time?

Inside the cave, hissing sounds came, the walls shook...

A blaze of fire, erupted!

Flames bursting from the top of the walls!

"It’s going to explode!!"

"Go!"

Sui Yi grabbed the man, channeled his Inner Strength, his steps light as feathers, whoosh!

He dashed out recklessly!

Behind him, Mao Gang and the others also barely managed to escape...

Boom!!!

The cave entrance completely exploded!

Mao Gang and the others were shaken by the blast, several involuntarily threw themselves to the ground.

And Sui Yi, turning around, saw the entrance now completely obscured by broken rocks and rubble.

This gunpowder must have been arranged along with The Gate and the Mechanisms back in the day, but to think that after so many years, it could still be detonated... one could imagine how skilled the original builders must have been, only...

Who would have thought that the one to trigger the gunpowder would be a fox!

"Sui Yi, are you alright?" Li Jingyang, not caring about his own disheveled state, rushed towards Sui Yi, only to see Sui Yi handing the man over to him.

"That beast can’t be left alive, I’ll go after it..."

Sui Yi was so quick, as soon as he said he was going, he was gone.

Li Jingyang couldn’t stop him in time, Mao Gang and the others were filled with fear and anger, it was indeed a fox just now, damn it, it was so huge, it must have turned into a spirit, and moreover, it had Xiao Dao in its mouth...

It couldn’t be let go!

Having escaped death, their courage swelled, Mao Gang and the others refused to give up. After leaving a few people to care for the injured, a large group hurriedly followed, chasing with weapons in hand.

But who could catch up to Sui Yi?

They only saw the figure of Sui Yi, who had been ahead just now, flicker a few times among the bamboo shadows and then disappear.

Even faster than what they had seen before!

Could it be that this girl hadn’t been using her full strength up until now?

Impressive, so impressive!

Although the Giant Fox was huge, its speed was terrifyingly fast, and it was very cunning, choosing remote and difficult paths to escape through. After a while, when it looked back, it could no longer see any pursuers.

But it wasn’t ready to feel at ease just yet. It ran a little further before stopping in a clearing, put down Xiao Dao from its mouth, its sharp fox snout slightly opening and touching the surface of the knife. Strangely enough, although it had been breathing heavily before, it almost completely regained its vitality, while Xiao Dao, whose face was already pale as death, now looked even more ghastly, as if he was indeed dead.

The Giant Fox seemed to be relieved, but it wasn’t planning to run with Xiao Dao anymore... too tiring!

It might as well...

It opened its mouth, its sharp, yellow teeth showed, an evil stench mixed with the smell of the fox...

Whoosh!

A cold light, like a bullet!

Thud!

It shot directly into the eyeball of the Giant Fox...

Burst!

It burst the eye wide open! Blood splattered!

The Giant Fox screamed in agony, like a fierce ghost, its fur standing on end...

In the opposite direction, a shadow shot out from behind a pit, holding the Bamboo Cutting Knife, standing on top of the pit.

"Fox... I think you can understand what I’m saying... You’re too dangerous, I cannot leave you be,"

That person spoke.

Who else could it be?

Sui Yi!

Sui Yi indeed had the intent to kill the Giant Fox. Its sheer size wasn’t much of a concern; all beings possess a spirit, being oversized just shows its strong will to survive. But its intelligence was clearly on the malevolent side, even knowing how to trigger Mechanisms, two times, both aimed at causing complete devastation, going beyond a simple bloodthirsty animal’s instinct...

Describing it as innately sinister and cruel was not an exaggeration.

And foxes, known for their grudges and cunning, after they had struck at several young foxes, it would surely harbor a grudge.

If this continued, the people of Mao Bamboo Mountain would all be killed by it.

Thus, Sui Yi rarely had such a killing intent, and since she intended to kill, she couldn’t be lenient or underestimate her opponent. She channeled her Inner Strength, and at breakneck speeds, she had caught up to the beast. However, she didn’t want to alarm it prematurely, so she followed in stealth...

She didn’t expect to witness the scene that just unfolded.

It was bizarre, frightening, sending a chill through her heart,

It wasn’t because she feared ghosts or spirits, but because she could clearly feel that the Giant Fox was absorbing the Magnetic Sensation from Xiao Dao’s body.

Everyone has Magnetic Sensation, also known as spirit. When people die, their spirit is lost... Later on, Sui Yi, with her Special Ability, felt that when people die, their spirit might not completely vanish, instead transforming into magnetic energy and merging with the environment. If someone interacts with the magnetic energy of such frequency, it would be possible to see human spirits, which would be regarded as ghosts.

The Magnetic Sensation of the dead can leave the body, and so can the Magnetic Sensation of the living, such as being placed in letters, paintings, or writings, etc... Thus, there is magnetic energy in cultural relics. But Sui Yi had never seen a fox that could snatch away a person’s spirit while they were still alive.

Just like she could snatch away the magnetic energy from those relics.

This was strange, profound, and perhaps, very terrifying.

Like unveiling the door to another world.

Sui Yi’s heart trembled with this revelation, but she felt even more strongly that the Giant Fox could not be left alive.

And the Giant Fox indeed understood Sui Yi’s words.

Its eye still throbbing with pain, the fox already harbored resentment against this human—and even more so now.

With a low growl, it dug its limbs into the ground. It wasn’t planning to run away, it was...

Planning to kill Sui Yi!

Sui Yi had already stepped down from the pit slowly, the Bamboo Cutting Knife’s blade turning slowly in her hand, she took six steps.

Whoosh!

The Giant Fox burst out suddenly!

Its speed too fast, the momentum of its charge was even more ferocious than a tiger’s!

Sui Yi, with her slight frame, couldn’t possibly confront it head-on, and the fox’s stench, a toxin in itself, wouldn’t help either.

She slid her foot, sidestepped, raised her hand, the Bamboo Cutting Knife assuming the stance of a sword!

Clear Moon Sword’s Wind and Moon Slash!

Raise the sword, slash the sword! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome you to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
