Chapter Thirty-One: Wind Wing Mystic Fox

  "——Young master, if you continue to behave like this, I will definitely tell the mistress!"

  Ran Li fiercely bit the dried meat in his hand, speaking with a muffled voice. In front of him, about two hundred steps away at the foot of the mountain, there were over ten demonic beasts devouring those four corpses, but his appetite was excellent and wasn't affected in the slightest.

  However, when Ran Lie's gaze fell on the other side, that death scene which had already been disguised by Yue Yu, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Won't this be too easy?"

  It's no wonder that he would feel uneasy, Yue Yu's method was indeed too simple. He just casually threw the corpse and weapons around, splashed some collected blood everywhere, and then patted his butt to signal the end of the task. This made Rong Li, who had originally thought that Yue Yu would carefully create some signs of battle here, feel greatly disappointed.

  "What else do you want? If we really do it, this job is not easy. It's really not necessary to waste our efforts! Do you think those old guys will really suspect us?"

  Yue Yu's lips curled up slightly, as the mercenary's experience told him. Disguising a new crime scene was far more difficult than simply erasing the traces, it was ten times harder. The reason he threw the corpse and the weapon here was, after all, just to shift everyone's attention away from the real murder scene.

  Although they had already eliminated all the traces that could be erased on that side, Yue Yu still did not dare to guarantee that others would not notice anything.

  Of course, the most important reason is that he really doesn't have time now.

  Killing, destroying evidence, and moving the body - by the time all this was done, it was almost noon. If they continued to busy themselves here for a while longer, today's time would be completely wasted.

  In fact, even at this moment, if he counted the time it took to return to the city, he only had two hours left to squander.

  "It's possible, but the chances are slim—"

  Ran Li furrowed his brow and thought for a long time before shaking his head. "But, young master, don't forget that we two are also the closest to the scene of the crime!"

  Yue Yu lazily didn't bother to respond, quietly nibbling on the dry rations in his hand. At this moment, he was using the auxiliary system to watch the detailed records and images of the battle with Yue Cheng just now.

  The auxiliary intelligent system's calculation and prediction functions are almost useless, but looking at its process and analysis of gains and losses after the battle is still very beneficial. Yue Yu often gains something from it. Especially those combat videos, not only can deepen Yue Yu's understanding in combat, but also absorb the opponent's martial arts essence.

  But just at this moment, Yue Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked towards the direction of another hill on the left. He seemed to have heard a few roars and fighting sounds coming from that side just now.

  In the brain quickly analyzed these sounds, and Yue Yu hastily put away the food in his hand and rushed towards the mountain ridge over there. And on that side, Ruan Li, who had not eaten half of the things, was first stunned, then scolded and picked up his giant axe, and hurriedly followed.

  At this moment, the two had already left the Black Cloud Mountain range and entered the sparse forest outside the canyon, which was more than 20 miles away. This was an area where third-level and fourth-level demon beasts were relatively active. Therefore, Yue Yu, despite being in a hurry to rush over, did not dare to be careless at all, and tried his best to walk on high ground and downwind areas.

  High places allow them to discover the tracks of monsters in advance, and downwind is to prevent their own scent from being smelled by other mountain monsters.

  As for the smell, both of them had applied some medicinal water made by Yue Yu himself, which was made from the urine and feces of wild beasts, mixed with some strong-smelling plants. However, this was Yue Yu's experience in hunting in his previous life, whether it would work in this world was another story. But since entering this forest, unless they encountered them head-on, there were indeed no monsters coming to trouble them.

  But in just a few minutes, Yue Yu and Rang Li arrived behind a boulder, and both of them were filled with cautious and solemn expressions at this moment.

  In front of the boulder where they were hiding, four demon beasts were fighting each other. Three of them resembled bear-raccoons, with bodies as big as small elephants and a single horn on their foreheads. The one being surrounded by them was a red winged fox-like demon beast. It flapped its small meat wings, riding the wind to dash about, trying to escape from the encirclement. However, those horned bear-raccoons were also extremely agile, always managing to get in the way and block the red fox's path.

  "What kind of monster is this?"

  Ran Li looked curiously at the red fox in the center. These four demon beasts were all of the second-level upper rank. The unicorn bear was also extremely common in this valley, with nearly a hundred groups existing nearby, but only this one in the middle, he had never heard of it before, nor had he ever seen it.

  However, being able to single-handedly counter three same-level demon beasts is quite extraordinary.

  "It must be Feng Yi Xuan Hu!"

  Yue Yu hesitated, and as for this guess, he himself was not very sure, but only felt that the shape of this demon beast was somewhat similar to the descriptions of the Wind Winged Fox in the book. And beside him, Rong Li slightly shook.

  In this world, apart from the fifteen levels that distinguish the ranks of demonic beasts, there are also four categories: divine beasts, spiritual beasts, heteromorphic beasts, and primordial beasts, which distinguish the innate foundation and talent of demonic beasts. Within the same level, the strength of heteromorphic beasts is several times stronger than that of primordial beasts. Above them, spiritual beasts far surpass these two.

  Like these three single-horned bear cubs, they are the original beast species. Although it is the top level among them, close to the hetero-beast level, it is still the bottom of the demon beasts, the most ordinary existence in the world.

  And this Wind Winged Mystic Fox is a top-grade exotic beast, and even after the fourth stage, it still has a chance to advance to the Spiritual Beast level. As for how Ran Li knew about it, it was because of the Wind Winged Mystic Fox's great reputation in the Northern Wilderness.

  Approximately hundreds of years ago, a dormant sixth-grade Wind Winged Mystic Fox from the north was provoked by someone. It suddenly emerged from the mountains and attacked human towns. In that great calamity, more than 400,000 people lost their lives. Until the northern cities joined forces, gathered several innate strongmen, and severely injured it, but in the end, it still managed to escape.

  Feng Wing Xuan Huo has a pair of flesh wings, once fully grown, can fly to an altitude of over 20,000 meters, skilled in manipulating the wind, and extremely fast speed, is indeed the most difficult to entangle, and also the hardest to kill a kind of demon beast.

  And it's said that the Yue family also participated in that siege. Afterwards, they suddenly moved south and rebuilt their city in a new location, all to avoid the escaped sixth-grade Wind Winged Mystic Fox from seeking revenge after its recovery.

  At this level of demonic beast, as long as it's a heteromorphic beast or above, most have already opened their spiritual wisdom. With such deep hatred and resentment, how could they not come back for revenge?

  Surrounded by the lone horned bear, was a young Wind Winged Mystic Fox. This high-grade spiritual beast was indeed extremely powerful, but before level five, it wasn't much stronger than an ordinary primal beast. Its pair of flesh wings had not yet fully grown, and naturally, it couldn't fly or exhibit any significant speed advantage.

  At least two people in front of them, these three single-horned bears have the upper hand. The abdomen and back of the Wind Wing Xuan Fox have two deep wounds that can be seen to the bone. However, the first three are also extremely embarrassed, and they carefully surround the circle, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack. The claws and teeth of the Wind Wing Xuan Fox are sharp, and its reaction is extremely fast. When it came earlier, it had already left many wounds on the bodies of the three single-horned bears. In the several clashes after the arrival of the two, the counterattack was even more fierce. Fortunately, the single-horned bear's skin is thick and its flesh is thick, which allows it to still be alive and kicking. If it were a lower-level monster with weaker defensive power, it would probably have died by now.

  Watching the four demon beasts fighting, Yue Yu was slightly curious and didn't know what reason made the bear raccoon and wind fox fight to the death. Logically speaking, the former were carnivorous demon beasts, while the latter were herbivorous demon beasts, they shouldn't be entangled with each other. With the strength of these three bear raccoons, even if the wind fox was starving, it would only go catch those lower-level demon beasts and wouldn't easily look for trouble with them.
