Chapter 221: Sky Fox Tribe Incident 1

There were still a few strands of gray in the Elf King's silver hair. He forced himself to stand up from the holy spring, and a green light curtain condensed at his fingertips. A distorted demon totem emerged in the light curtain, which was the mark of the rebels he had encountered before.

"Three days ago, I received a distress signal from Medicine King Valley." The Elf King's voice was weak but clear. "When I arrived, I found that the entire valley was shrouded in black fog, and some of the demon kings had purple crystals growing in their bodies."

Jin Nugget's ears suddenly perked up: "Purple crystal? I've seen it in ancient elf books. Is that the characteristic of the materialization of the netherworld demonic energy, father?"

The Elf King nodded heavily in agreement.

Fan Wujiu's black robe fluttered without wind, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Impossible, I just came back from the border of the Demon Realm, and the 72 tribes of the Demon Lord have all sworn allegiance to Xiaobai." He turned to Xiaobai, "Do you still remember the Yaksha elder who presented the Demon Clan's treasure, the 'Dark Moon Wheel'?"

Xiao Bai was using the Qingli Sword to pry open Ao Tian's bloodstained collar. Hearing this, the tip of the sword paused: "The system detected at that time that there was no trace of the Demon Lord on the Dark Moon Wheel." She suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Unless..."

"Unless the power of the Demon Lord has evolved to the point where he can avoid system scanning." Aotian struggled to sit up, his face as pale as paper, but he still smiled cynically and said, "It's like some people who are obviously dying but still hold on, ah!"

Xiao Bai retracted the finger that was tapping his forehead, turned to the Elf King and said, "What you encountered may not be ordinary demonization, but 'ghost parasitism'." She gathered a little golden light on her fingertips and drew complex runes in the air. "This is a secret technique recorded in the ancient books of the gods. The parasite will retain the original memory, but the soul has been enslaved by the demon king."

The Elf King suddenly coughed violently, and six fruits of different colors rolled out from his arms.

The fruit takes root as soon as it falls to the ground, and instantly grows into a sapling half a person's height, exuding a pure breath of life.

"Seven-colored fairy fruit?" Fan Wujiu's pupils shrank slightly. "The legendary holy object that can reshape the meridians?" He grabbed Aotian's wrist. "It's saved. Your stupid bird's burning blood and Xiaobai's scattered divine power, when I refine the elixir, yours can suppress it, and Xiaobai's can suppress it too."

"Don't worry about me, refine the elixir that Xiaobai needs first." Aotian suddenly broke free and pointed to the picture flashing in the light curtain: on the altar of a certain demon tribe, there were three pearls surrounded by black mist, "Those are the Nether Pearls."

A red warning suddenly popped up on the system screen:

[Emergency Mission: 72-hour countdown to the Sky Fox coup]

[Mission details: Save Taohua and obtain the Sky Fox Clan's Netherworld Pearl]

[Additional information: The rebel leader has poisoned the current clan leader]

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with the little fox girl who always liked to pull her sleeves to ask for candy, with an innocent smile on her delicate face forever. The system timely projected Taohua's current situation: the five-year-old little fox girl was being coaxed by a young man in green to eat the "beauty pill", her furry tail drooped weakly, and her originally bright eyes were covered with a layer of gray mist.

"How dare they..." Xiaobai's body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the cave wall. The Qingli Sword sensed the anger of its master and made a dragon-like sound.

Fan Wujiu crushed the jade slip in his hand. It was the chess manual that the Sky Fox clan leader gave him last year. His voice was like ice: "The old fox's 'Starry Chess Game' has not been cracked yet. He can't die."

"We will split up." Xiao Bai assigned the tasks decisively, "Fan Wujiu, take the three fairy fruits and leave them for Aotian to heal his wounds, and Jin Nugget will follow me to the Sky Fox Tribe." She suddenly grabbed Aotian by the collar, "If you dare to sneak in, I will stew you into soup."

Aotian playfully conjured up a red feather and stuck it in her hair: "Bifang tail feathers, a message a thousand miles away." Seeing Xiaobai glaring, he quickly added, "I promise to be a good baby in the holy spring."

The Elf King suddenly cut his wrist, and green blood seeped onto the ground.

The Tree of Life hummed, and seven emerald leaves fell into Xiaobai's hands: "With this, the maze of the Sky Fox Clan cannot trap you."

That night, two streams of light streaked across the sky. No one noticed that in the reflection of the holy spring, a pair of purple eyes were watching the departing figure. When ripples appeared on the water surface, the sound of chains colliding could be heard faintly.
