Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1199: Getting Into The Black Fox Home

Fang didn't forget to take a peek at the hole that led him and William here. He could see it intact, didn't know it got obliterated just a few metres away from the opening.

Even with the monster gone, Fang couldn't spread his spirit beyond the limit of this place. And he wasn't interested in checking that hole. To him, it was open and the path to the surface was secured. Even if it got blocked midway, he was confident to dig a path and get away safely.

His main focus was still on the pyramids and this area. "I can't believe that kid is here for that monster only…" yet after hours of looking, he didn't manage to find a single clue about anything, "mentioning that monster, it's not something that can get its way here easily, not the type I've seen before…"

His thoughts drifted towards the monster. He never saw something like that before. And yet he knew the world was too vast for anyone to know all the monster types existing.

"The city is well guarded and protected, and the entrance to here is impossible without the help from someone holding the keys…" he thought about the same thing William did before, that this monster was here all along.

"But if it was here, then why did that kid come and try to kill it now?" Fang recalled how William acted before, "it was obvious he knew tons of sh*t about that monster. If so, then alone he wasn't able to handle it, not even close to keeping his life intact…"

The more he thought about it the more he believed William never knew about the monster's existence here. "That means he came here to check on something going wrong in this place, and accidentally pumped into this monster. That means he knew what this place was, and this monster wasn't here all along…"

He looked around, and his mind got fixed on the idea of the presence of another entrance to this place. Yet the place was so massive for him to look for such a leak. And he was far more curious about this place than the presence of another way to enter here.

"The more I look at it, the more I believe this place is special…" Fang got pumped up, "alright, that lad is sleeping like a little baby, and there isn't any danger around. If I need to, I'll dig every rock and pyramid until I get what's hidden here…"

As he decided on, he started a spree of launching his techniques to dig the ground, and yet he failed. The ground wasn't just sturdy, it looked quite indestructible.

"F*ck! I'm even using that kid's formation and can't leave a single scratch here!!!" He looked at the shallow hole left over by the monster from earlier and decided to go there and expand it.

Yet he didn't know that when the monster died, most of the stored-up spirit power got absorbed back by the entire formation. That was why the explosion didn't come even close to the ferocity it was supposed to, and that was why the ground all around this portal got hardened like it was forged from steel.

As Fang and the team were busy trying to dig their way through the hardened ground, William was in his own world.

The moment he touched that core and unintentionally activated the absorption technique, his mind drifted away. "This is the Fox lair…" he looked around, to find himself standing in a very familiar place.

The black clouds were still there, and yet they weren't that dense, and he could easily see through. The place was the home of the black fox, and yet he couldn't see any trace of it.

"What brought me here in the first place?" he looked around, looked at himself, and couldn't help but recall the last moments before he came here.

"I was about to hold that core, or did I get it?" His thoughts were a little hazy about these moments, making it hard for him to get to the bottom of this.

"Oh, this is the home of that black fox," just before William could get any idea about what happened, his body suddenly shone brighter, and a golden star appeared out from it.

The star floated above him, expanded as if it got a booster or something. "It's indeed quite generous for that fox to let you in, quite generous and risky indeed."

"What do you mean?" William knew spirits had their own rules that he didn't get so far. And from the words of that mysterious spirit he got attached himself to, he sniffed new intel about this world.

"Being here means you can absorb part of its power, increasing the grade of your spirit, cleansing your body, accelerating your training speed, tons of benefits…"

"And the risks?" William wasn't that much interested in knowing the pros of being here at first. He was far from curious about the cons. If being here had risks over him, then he should be aware of these.

Yet the pros he heard weren't that bad. To him it felt like he got himself into a body cleansing zone, one of those rare areas in the outer world.

"It's not about you, it's all on the fox," the golden spirit seemed to read William's line of thoughts, "being here means there is a gap in the protective shell of this place. Like this, any outsider can work a little extra and will find a way here."

"This…" William couldn't help but recall the explosive encounter he once had here against the mysterious spirits. He never thought he was the reason behind their entry here, and yet that golden spirit's words piqued his interest about a different point.

"Why do you need to secure your places?" he didn't get this, "humans live in open and well-known places."

"We are different," William felt in an arrogant tone in that spirit's words, "we can't let any holes in our homes, or else bad things will happen."
