253 Fox Monster Escapes, Royal Mausoleum Appears (1/2)
The day was already destined to not be peaceful!
The shock the Nine-tailed Fox experienced because of Yao Hua's death made her completely lose control. In her anger, not only did she kill tens of thousands of players, she had even destroyed Immortal Fox Village. She then ran to Wuhu County, and wherever she went, the land would be scorched!
The government soldiers and officers in charge of protecting Wuhu were not opponents of the Nine-tailed Fox, who was already in Inaction Realm. In fact, they were not even the opponents of some of the normal players. Before they got close to her, they were either torn to shreds by a sword aura that came charging at them or got buried under a pile of rubble from a collapsed wall. No one knew whether they survived the crash.
Bows, hidden weapons, and all the other long-distance weapons were ineffective against the Nine-tailed Fox.
She might have walked down the path of demons, but she was still intelligent. She formed a layer of defense with her qi and easily prevented any projectiles from touching her. She was not injured in the slightest, which terrified and shocked countless players. They completely gave up on the thought of killing the Nine-tailed Fox, and when they saw her in the distance, they would immediately use the fastest speed possible to flee from her.
However, the Nine-tailed Fox did not just move forward in one direction. She would occasionally go on the side where there were many people to rain down genocide while howling in anger! The collapsed houses showed the path that she took, and they also pointed to where she was headed next.
Within less than an hour, nearly one-fifth of the houses in Wuhu had collapsed. If anyone looked from above, they would find that Wuhu City was covered in wounds, and smoke could be seen curling up everywhere.
However, the Nine-tailed Fox was just a part of the disaster.
The areas with plenty of dead would have a lot of people keeping an eye on them. Their covetous stares watched them from a distance, and once the Nine-tailed Fox left, they would immediately dash over like a swarm of bees to steal what had been dropped.
There was always a pile of gold under the corpses, and if the thieves were lucky, they could even get equipment. Regardless of whether the quality was good or not, many of the guilds, sects, and organizations cast their gazes on the areas with a relatively high number of corpses. Those with bad temper would even begin warning the others around them to not take their loot while they were still in the distance.
It was precisely because of this that once the Nine-tailed Fox left, an even greater chaos washed over Wuhu.
Usually, a few sects and forces of power would engage in a major fight for one rather good piece of equipment or because they wanted to occupy a rather good resource. They would dye the land with even more fresh blood despite the fact that the blood on the ground had not even dried off yet.
There were some players who were more unfortunate. If they were too hasty to rush in for looting, before the Nine-tailed Fox had left far into the distance, and started fighting, the Nine-tailed Fox would turn around and sweep through the area again, making the number of corpses on the ground twice what it was before.
However, this still did not stop the players from fighting for the wealth outside and inside the city. After all, as long as they did not die, they could proceed without hesitation and engage in the fights to pick up the wealth left behind wantonly.
Even the people from the three great sects were injured during the chaos of plundering and looting, because they were also involved in taking the spoils that belonged to no one. Once the imperial court no longer served as a deterrent in Wuhu because it had become a lawless place, Wuhu turned into a chaotic and dark world!
At that moment, even though the Nine-tailed Fox held two divine weapons and one ultimate technique manual, no one really paid attention to her. Instead, everyone just prayed hard that they did not run into that demon.
In the end, a player took the initiative to upload a battle replay online, and it was shared like crazy.
It showed the Nine-tailed Fox who had come to another city near Wuhu after she left the county. She was held back outside the city by two Six Doors constables who were dressed in black and white tight-fitting robes respectively. They fought against each other, and both parties were injured. In the end, they vanished from the battle replay.
[Tsk, tsk, so dangerous!]
[Thank goodness the Nine-tailed Fox didn't rush over here. I was in that city…]
That reply to the thread on the forum was soon rebuked by a group of people saying that the speaker was not aware of what was going on.
[Idiot! It would have been good if she rushed in! We just needed to log off for a while to avoid not dying, and when we logged in again, we would have been rich!]
[Urk…]
In many players' eyes, the unprecedented disaster turned into a grand banquet that allowed nobodies to easily get rich. They actually cursed the two Six Doors constables who chased away the Nine-tailed Fox, blaming them for making them lose the chance to get rich.
”These people want to get rich so badly that they've gone mad.”
Chen Fan could not help but laugh before leaving the table. He was just in time to see Happy log out of his game and was stunned for a moment. ”By the way, you seem to have been in Wuhu lately, right?”
Happy sighed in exhaustion and nodded.
Chen Fan froze and immediately became nervous. ”Are you alright?”
