175 Fox Cave (2/2)

Happy was confident that he could handle one to two of them without a problem, but when he thought about the red and white fox monsters that covered the walls and ceiling of the tunnel, he felt a huge headache.

No matter how strong a person was, if they were surrounded by a group of fox monsters which had incredibly great speed, they would not be able to escape unscathed. Without sufficient strength, the only outcome for them would be death.

The battle replays that were continuously uploaded on the internet could speak for themselves.

Once someone entered the cave, no matter how big of a group they had, compared to the fox monsters, who had home advantage in terms of geography, they would be sorely lacking in strength! Besides, the monsters were also very tough. Because of that, there were always more human deaths rather than the fox ones.

Also, very few people knew that the main reason behind why an increasing number of players went charging to their deaths one after another was because of the few major guilds behind the scenes. They were the strongest guilds in the cities and towns nearby.

They knew the dangers of Fox Cave the best, but they were reluctant to give up on the high drop rate of the high-tier martial arts, which was why they continuously spread news of obtaining benefits in the cave to attract more mooks that would die in their place. They wanted to use their bodies to pave their path through Fox Cave.

When the situation became incredibly chaotic, they would enter to obtain benefits. Otherwise, it would be impossible for any organization to gain a firm footing in Fox Cave.

”I'm not attracted by that Fox Cave,” Happy said in a calm voice. ”Right now, what I lack is a high-tier body fortification technique and high-tier lightness skill.”

That was his answer and explanation to the Three Lonely Wolves.

He did not dare to tell his real plan to his three brothers: his jade slit ring was to be used to open the third layer of Fox Cave, and he had long since placed that area as his next stop.

His Stormy Shadowless Kick had already reached the tenth realm, and soon, it would catch up to Flowering Knights' Song. It would then become Happy's first high-tier martial art to reach Grandmaster Realm.

With Stormy Shadowless Kick at Grandmaster Realm, Happy and the help of Wind Spirit Spin, Happy was confident that he could deal with the fast and vicious foxes. He was sure that at that time, he would be able to fight a skulk of them without losing.

However, it was not the time for it just then.

The numerous White Foxes and Red Foxes could never be found wandering alone. Fox Cave was not very wide to begin with, and they were always in a group. Hence, aside from his own strength, Happy also needed help from powerful companions to clear Fox Cave.

He already had two candidates in his heart.

But it was still far from enough.

Fox Cave was not a place that could be turned upside down by one or two people.

It was also not a place that could be cleared by having multiple people die beforehand. None of the party members could be a burden. Any person who ended up being a burden in Fox Cave might die at any moment.

There was also an even more important problem!

There were quite a number of organizations who had ambitions toward Fox Cave. Most of them were quite powerful. Even some people from Class One Hall were in there. In the lawless world of martial artists, only with brute strength would anyone have the right to have their voice heard.

If anyone wanted to gain any benefits from Fox Cave and seize a portion of the pie from the various powerful and domineering sects and organizations aiming for it, perhaps even using these as chess pieces, that person would need even more meticulous planning, better preparation, and great strength.

None of the three could be missing.

It should be possible to stir up the powerful players' interest with the jade slit ring.

Happy smiled, lowered his head, and continued to shove food into his mouth.
