Chapter 182: The Power of Alpha Wolf’s Mark

Chapter 182: The Power of Alpha Wolf’s Mark

On the other side of the “river”.

The fox that had been chased by the cheetahs stopped.

It bared its teeth and had a cautious look in its red beady eyes. It studied the person in front of it.

[Nine-tailed Fox]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Rarity: Refined]

[Description: A rare spiritual fox with the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Fox. Its eyes could see through illusions, and with every tail, it would obtain another kind of rare skill.]

“It really can tell an illusion from reality!”

Ji Ye was pleased to see this.

Obviously, that wasn’t the real Yellow River. It was only an illusion he created with the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

In the book, the fox’s eyes could see through all illusion. Apparently, the ability wasn’t removed from the projection.

It had a great significance!

After all, the Mirage Monster was the only race that the Twin Dragon Mount had run into that could create illusions. Because it was in the water, he was able to use his Flood Dragon Bloodline to solve it without much difficulty.

But he had to admit that it was a powerful ability, which could in many circumstances turn things around in a war.

If they ran into an alien race with similar skills again in the future, having a Nine-tailed Fox around would be very helpful.

Moreover, it was only the ability of one of its tails.

According to the description, with every tail, it had a new ability, giving it a lot of potential.

Of course, to summon the fox, he had to catch it first.

Ji Ye and the fox looked at each other for a few seconds.

The fox moved again, turning into a flash of white light in the snow as it tried to run past Ji Ye.

“Roar!”

However, the next second, the white light suddenly slowed down, as if it had sunk into water.

After that, a yellow light was flashed on Ji Ye.

The next moment, he quickly reached out and grabbed the fox by the soft part behind its head.

The fox moved very fast; even with his Distance Reduction, Ji Ye was unable to catch it.

However, it was still a beast, after all.

It had no idea the kind of tricks humans could play.

The river was indeed an illusion, but a blue stone was giving off strange fluctuations from under its feet.

With the snow on the ground, the illusionary river water had somehow turned into a real river.

Although this Nine-tailed Fox was also of a legendary bloodline, it wasn’t the Flood Dragon’s match when in water.

However, after Ji Ye picked it up by the soft skin at the back of its neck—

The small white beast stopped moving. He couldn’t detect any sign of breathing at the tip of its nose, and when Ji Ye put it on the ground, it was completely motionless.

“Dead?”

Ji Ye chuckled.

So, this little guy knew how to fake death.

Come to think of it, foxes were indeed sly animals.

According to Elder Meng, in the book, the Manor of Beasts had used as many as 1,000 roast chickens and put them a short distance apart. It took them over two months to lure the little guy here.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...

Just then, two horses rode toward Ji Ye and stopped next to him.

“Master! Master!”

Two voices called his name.

The players didn’t know how to ride, and they couldn’t follow him because they had no alacrity skill.

But more than one cavalry leader of the Twin Dragon Mount had entered the battlefield.

The riders were Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi. Although they didn’t wear any armor, they still had their own weapons with them.

They were worried about Ji Ye, so after consulting with Elder Meng, they followed him here.

Although it was well into the night, they had both used the Cell Enhancer of the Golden Condor’s Boon. Together with the glow of the snow, they were able to find the right direction.

“Thank you, chiefs, for the hard work!”

Ji Ye smiled at them.

The heroes in the settlement all had their own skills and didn’t really need the martial arts skills in the Battlefield of Providence. Therefore, they had been cultivating in their rooms in the inn to improve their skills. The fact they had caught up with him showed their acknowledgment of him.

“Chief Lu, please take this fox with you, and let’s take care of it together.”

Ji Ye greeted Lu Junyi with a nod.

The illusion created by the Mirage Dragon Pearl didn’t stop the fox, but it had successfully stopped the pursuing beasts, as well as the people of the Manor of Beasts.

Right now, people of the Manor of Beasts had gone back in a rage to confront the “ghosts”. After all, they had spent a lot of energy and time to lure the fox, which had been set free by the “ghosts”.

“Roar, roar, roar...”

It was true, the “Horde of Ghosts of the Western Mountain” were second-rate masters in this world, and they were all Extraordinary Rank-4 and above.

But they had been surrounded by thousands of beasts, which was too many for them to handle. The situation was very grave.

“Ah!”

Little Guo Xiang looked shaken as well, because a few wolves with luminating green eyes were jumping at her.

She had extraordinary talent in martial arts and had reached Extraordinary Rank-3 when she was only 15.

But she didn’t have much actual combat experience, especially against wild beasts. It was a moment of life and death for her!

“Stop! Don’t attack her!”

Someone outside the circle cried out just then.

The wolves that had bared their teeth and charged at Guo Xiang with ferocious eyes suddenly stopped, as if they had been struck by something. Not only were they not moving, but they had also prostrated on the ground, tucked their tails, and looked terrified.

Whoosh!

There was a flash of yellow light, and someone showed up next to Guo Xiang.

“Argh! Brother Ji!”

Guo Xiang had been blaming herself for being so reckless, but she looked elated when she saw who it was.

“What’s going on here?”

The five brothers of the Manor of Beasts were surprised.

Because the pack of wolves among the beasts suddenly stopped their attack. Instead, they shielded Guo Xiang and Ji Ye from the rest of the beasts.

These tamed animals were able to coexist in harmony even if one species was the food of another. Such behavior had never happened before.

Obviously, this had something to do with the extra person in the battlefield.

Because the pack was clearly obedient toward the man.

The five brothers of the Shi Family knew beasts, so this obviously baffled them.

“May I ask who you are? Do you have to get involved?”

The oldest brother asked Ji Ye with a grim look on his face.

“I don’t know the ‘Horde of Ghosts of the Western Mountain’, but this young lady is my friend, so please let me take her away from here,” said Ji Ye.

The appearance of the five brothers fit their nicknames quite well.

The oldest had the authoritative look of a tiger, the second oldest was as swift as a leopard, the third one as level-headed as a lion, the fourth as stalwart as an elephant, and the fifth as nimble as a monkey.

However, despite their striking looks, they were all below Extraordinary Rank-5. The middle one of the five brothers, aka the Blue Armor Lion, was the only one who could be above Extraordinary Rank-5.

But right now, Shi the Third had a gaunt face and sunken eyes. He was swaying as he walked and was obviously suffering from some severe injury.

With Ji Ye’s skills and the Alpha Wolf’s Mark that could command the wolf pack, he had enough confidence to break into the Beast Formation.

“My third brother is injured. He needs the fox’s blood to stay alive.

“They broke in and set the Nine-tailed Fox free. His internal injury cannot be treated now! They can’t leave! They have to pay for this with their lives!”

Hearing Ji Ye’s words, Shi the Fourth, the Mighty Elephant and the most irritable of them all, yelled angrily.

“The Nine-tailed Fox? Are you talking about this white little fox?”

A voice rang out from behind them.

After that, two people approached from outside the circle of beasts.

Everywhere they went, the fierce beasts looked terrified. Some even dropped to their knees, and none of them tried to stop the two men.

Because the one holding a longbow had a black mist circling around him, which wasn’t easily detected in the darkness of the night.

Although they were fierce animals, they were only Ordinary creatures. They could never withstand the fighting will in the form of energy emanated by Yang Zhi, who had also become Extraordinary Rank-6.

However, Yang Zhi knew where to stop. He only scared the beasts so that they could make way for him and didn’t cause a bigger scene.

But this only made the Shi brothers warier.

They already couldn’t understand why Ji Ye could take control of the wolf pack, and now, the other beasts had also knelt down, which was even more unbelievable.

“The Nine-tailed Fox!”

However, despite their surprise, they were more concerned over the fox in Lu Junyi’s hand.

“What? Is it dead?”

Seeing that the fox was neither moving nor breathing, they were filled with despair.

Because the Blue Armor Lion King’s internal injury was very severe, and it couldn’t be cured by one dose of blood.

Moreover, they needed the spiritual ingredient of the blood of a living fox. A dead one meant nothing to them!
