Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Little Fox Spirit

  "Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts... You're a necromancer." The big man stuttered and couldn't speak. Although the Zhao army had seen many ghost cultivators, they were not common within the mainland. "Ghosts" were still terrifying existences, especially for mysterious ghost cultivators. Many people had only heard of them but hadn't truly seen one before, so they didn't understand.

  The big guy wasn't stupid, one look at the two corpse soldiers' thick death aura and he knew they were ghost tribe cultivators. On the mainland, only death cultivators among humans could control this type of ghost cultivator. Death cultivators were forbidden to exist, although the mainland didn't openly oppose or slaughter them. However, their mysterious techniques often made people shiver with fear and keep a distance. This person took one look at Guo Fei summoning two ghost tribe cultivators and his heart was instantly shattered. He was certain that Guo Fei was a death cultivator.

  "Big guy, do you know why I brought you here? It's because you're suitable to be trained as a ghost soldier, haha. You chose me, and I chose you too. In the end, who won, you or me?" Guo Fei didn't know what this "death warrior" was that he mentioned, but he didn't ask either. Deep down, he felt that if there were such death warriors, then maybe his own undead soldiers could openly appear on the continent, and his heart skipped a beat with joy, speaking in a teasing tone.

  Actually, Guo Fei deliberately "angered" this big guy, because the wronged dead person, after becoming a corpse soldier, would increase in height. This big guy was the tallest among the three of them in terms of cultivation. The formless true energy could emit a true energy vortex, and he might already have the high-level cultivation of an air-repairing master. Letting him die in grief and indignation, who knows, after becoming a corpse soldier, his cultivation might be even higher than when he was alive.

  "You deliberately lured us here! How did you know us when we first came here?" the big man said with a trembling voice.

  "Haha, I've been eyeing you guys for a long time." Guo Fei deliberately laughed loudly.

  "You're also a wandering knight." The big man was frightened and trembled, saying: "Sir, spare my life. We are only low-level demon hunters, no... we can't even be considered real demon hunters. We just hunt some low-level demonic beasts to make a living. I'll give you everything, just spare my life."

  "Alright, hand it over!" Guo Fei nodded and smiled.

  The big guy rummaged through his pockets and threw everything on the ground, then held the board axe ready to slip away from the gap between the three people.

  "Take off your armor and axe!" Guo Fei gave a signal with his eyes to the two corpse soldiers, who immediately closed in on both sides, blocking his way.

  The big man looked at the two corpse soldiers and knew he was no match for them. If it were just one corpse soldier, he would still have a chance, but now there were two, plus a fierce-looking Guo Fei staring at him. He wasn't good at light body techniques, and didn't even have a chance to escape.

  The big man gritted his teeth, his face pale as he glanced at the board axe in his hand, reluctantly putting it down by his feet, then slowly took off his chest armor and the leather armor inside.

  "Damn it, he's a softie!" Guo Fei took a glance at the big guy, waved his hand to let him back off, then had the corpse soldiers move his stuff aside.

  "I, I can go now, right?!" The big guy said somewhat angrily.

  "Take off all your underwear and pants, I don't know if you've hidden something!" Guo Fei sneered.

  "You dare to trick me!" The big man was not stupid, suddenly understood, and immediately shouted angrily. The muddy man still had a bit of fire, and the big man had been licking blood on the mainland for many years, if it wasn't for the critical situation, how could he surrender?

  "Not bad, this young master is just toying with you, I didn't plan on letting you off anyway!" Guo Fei said with a slight smile.

  "You beast, killing someone is just a nod of the head, and even if I become a vengeful spirit, I won't let you off." The big guy roared loudly, and with a beautiful forward pounce, he tried to snatch the board axe, but how could the two corpses give him the opportunity, attacking him from left and right.

  Lost his weapon, just like a tiger without teeth, the two corpses were originally faster than him, and with one blow, two intangible true energies pierced into his chest. Two cold death airs opened two mouths in his chest, instantly knocking him to the ground, and the wound spewed out black blood, a gray air spread out like ripples, quickly enveloping the big man.

  "I'll become a vengeful spirit and won't let you off!" the big man said word by word.

  "I hope you become a fierce ghost, the angrier and more resentful the better!" Guo Fei smiled slightly, and with a flash of white light in his hand, he instantly stored it in the Soldier Symbol space.

  Guo Fei tidied up the things that Da Ge Zi had with him, and indeed, the three of them were demon hunters, carrying a "Sealing Orb". There was also another strange object, resembling a compass, with a pointer on it. When Guo Fei took it out, the pointer pointed directly at the small fox in the cage.

  "What is this thing, it seems unusual?" Guo Fei pondered for a moment, then stored it in the military symbol space.

  Guo Fei carefully checked his belongings and found that apart from the breastplate, broad axe, and clothes, there was also a bag of gold coins and the soul crystal he had given to him.

  The corpses were collected into the space, and the flying knives stuck in the short gunner's body were retrieved. The packages on the bodies of the short gunner and the archer were also searched out. Guo Fei carefully checked again and found more than 200 gold coins and two fireball tokens on their bodies.

  "Hunters are indeed rich people!" Guo Fei carefully counted the money, adding up to a total of 1,500 gold coins. For an ordinary person, this was considered wealthy. Guo Fei smiled, feeling that this time's gain was not small.

  Guo Fei turned his head to look at the little fox, he originally wanted to release it on the spot, but this little fox was really cute, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

  "Huh!" Guo Fei discovered that this time when he looked at the little fox, the little fox's eyes were filled with hot tears, and its gaze towards Guo Fei was filled with gratitude and emotion. This was definitely not a gaze that should belong to an animal.

  "Thank you!" Just as Guo Fei was staring at it, a sudden sweet and greasy voice sounded in his ear. This voice gave Guo Fei the feeling that it was "seductive" to the bone, making Guo Fei's heart skip a beat, and he felt an inexplicable "evil fire" rising up, his body suddenly becoming hot and dry.

  "Who!" Guo Fei shouted subconsciously.

  "Benefactor, it's me!" The same voice sounded again. Guo Fei looked over and saw that the one who made the sound was the little fox in front of him.

  "It's really a monster! It can actually talk." Guo Fei subconsciously gripped the flying knife in his hand, this was not something that happened often in his past life, and suddenly his hair and sweat stood on end.

  "Ah!" The little fox let out a cry of surprise, subconsciously hiding in one corner of the iron cage, crouching there pitifully looking at Guo Fei.

  "Forgotten, forgotten!" This isn't the legendary, cloud-spewing, fog-exhaling, heaven-flying and earth-escaping demon from past lives. It's actually been caught by a few lowly demon hunters, looks like its demonic powers aren't that high after all.

  "Can you speak?" Guo Fei said in a low voice. This tone made Guo Fei feel like he was a big bad wolf luring a little girl.

  "Thank you, benefactor, for killing those villains and avenging my brother, sister, and mother. I am willing to serve the young master for life to repay this great kindness." The little fox's sweet voice made Guo Fei's scalp tingle.

  "No, no need, I saved you just because you look very much like a dog I used to raise, that's all!" Guo Fei said, feeling that this remark was quite out of place. This voice was clearly that of a lovely and charming woman, how could it be a dog?

  Guo Fei thought for a moment, then opened the iron cage. The little fox stumbled out from inside. Guo Fei then cut off the iron chain tied to its leg and connected to the iron cage with his Xuan Tie sword, and removed the iron chain tied to her body.

  "Go!" Guo Fei took a glance at Dongfang Dao who was about to expose his belly.

  "Waaah!" The little fox suddenly began to sob quietly.

  Guo Fei was taken aback and didn't know what she meant. He immediately spoke in a soft voice: "Since you've been rescued, why don't you leave?"

  "I'm not going anywhere, I've never left Mount Wanjue since I was a child and don't know where this place is. Moreover, I'm injured with blocked meridians, even an ordinary martial artist can catch me." The little fox cried out in a soft voice.

  "You can't be serious, you're a demon, can't you fly?" Guo Fei was astonished.

  "I'm not a demon general, nor do I have flight techniques. I'm just a low-ranking demon fox who had already opened up the meridians in my upper body and could barely transform into a half-human form. Now that I'm injured, I estimate it'll take at least some time to recover before I can transform again."

  "So you're that weak!" Guo Fei had heard of it before, and suddenly he was enlightened. He had heard that the demon soldiers of the demon clan were equivalent to the warriors of the human tribe, and their strength was very weak.

  Guo Fei was in a dilemma, he had many things to deal with and couldn't possibly bring this little fox along, it would be a burden. But abandoning her without care wasn't right either. In fact, Guo Fei had always been extremely interested in the demon tribe and wanted to investigate further to get to the truth.
