Escape to Fox Mountain
"Where to?" This question stumped Ren Xiangxiang.
She thought that Xue Gong Huo was already very easy to obtain, but what about Ying Zhong Zhen and Qi Cheng Zi next?
Wait, I feel like I've heard of this Qichengzi somewhere before. It seems like my master mentioned it. Where exactly is it?
"No, don't change the subject. What does this have to do with what you're hiding from me?" Ren Xiangxiang suddenly came to her senses.
A gust of wind suddenly startled a flock of birds, causing Ren Xiangxiang's fruit to fall to the ground. Mo You abruptly stood up, "They're here."
"What?"
Ren Xiangxiang's vision blurred, and she bumped into Mo You's chest. The latter hugged Ren Xiangxiang and turned to run away without looking back.
"Ha! Two little rascals! They've been giving me a good look!"
Ice needles exploded and shot out, and amidst the overwhelming silver frost, a bright red figure stood out starkly.
Gu woman!
With that last glance, Ren Xiangxiang's pupils suddenly contracted.
"So the Gu woman has been following us all along?" Ren Xiangxiang asked, pulling herself out of Mo You's arms. Mo You nodded. "Yes."
"You've known all along?" Ren Xiangxiang was taken aback after saying that. What a pointless question.
Mo You also hummed in agreement.
"You've been hiding this from me? Are you afraid I'll be scared if I find out?" Ren Xiangxiang finally understood. Mo You hesitated, but still nodded.
Ren Xiangxiang was immediately at her wit's end. Would being afraid be of any use? The most important thing was how to deal with it.
The Gu woman was incredibly fast. Mo You had just led Ren Xiangxiang through the woods when she caught up with him. In desperation, he had no choice but to put Ren Xiangxiang down.
"Mo You!" Ren Xiangxiang shouted.
A giant dandelion swept out, and Ren Xiangxiang quickly hid behind a large rock, only to hear a series of clanging and banging sounds.
Immediately following was the Gu woman's furious cursing, "Damn fox demon, I'll skin you alive!"
A flash of cold light streaked across the sword, and with a bang, the black figure clashed briefly with Dandelion. As soon as the black figure landed, the red figure appeared behind him like a ghost.
A silvery light swept across the sky. Ren Xiangxiang only glanced at it before the boulder behind her exploded with a bang. She had no time to dodge and was directly blasted away by a force.
"Xiangxiang!"
Mo You paused, confronting the Gu woman head-on. His Ice Nightmare Light surged, and he forcefully broke free from the Gu woman's frenzied attacks.
"Don't even think about it!" The Gu woman was momentarily forced back, and her anger flared up instantly.
Ren Xiangxiang was covered in dust from the impact, but suddenly her body felt light. There were two loud thuds, followed by Mo You's muffled groan, and then a dizzying spin. The two of them tumbled down the hillside.
The frost continued to spread, and wherever it went, birds and beasts fell to the ground and turned into frozen corpses. The Gu woman chased to the edge of the mountain, looked at the frost covering half of the hillside and the animal corpses all over the ground, and gritted her teeth in anger, "You can't escape!"
Mo You carried Ren Xiangxiang and rolled down the hillside to a fault line. With withered branches and decaying leaves as cover, and since it was late autumn with fallen leaves everywhere, they were temporarily undetected by the Gu woman.
The two remained quietly beneath the fault line for a long time, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that the Gu woman had not followed them there.
At this moment, Ren Xiangxiang felt a sharp pain in her back and right ankle. She tried to pinch her already swollen ankle and realized that Mo You's condition was even worse than hers.
Mo You's left shoulder blade was struck by the Gu woman, and the wound was covered with a thin layer of ice, exuding an indescribable evil aura. Ren Xiangxiang looked at his wound and felt very uneasy.
"How are you feeling?" Ren Xiangxiang asked anxiously, looking at Mo You's pale face.
Mo You seemed to be trying his best to endure, only shaking his head and closing his eyes again, "Give me a little time, we're not far from Fox Mountain. Once we get there, we'll be safe."
Ren Xiangxiang took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to him. "This is medicine to cure the Gu poison. It should have some effect. The Gu woman is too strong. It will probably be difficult to escape from under her nose."
"..." Mo You silently opened his eyes, wanting to offer words of comfort, but now that he himself was injured, he naturally understood this principle.
"The Gu woman's target is me, so why don't I..."
"Since you know her target is you, you still want to take the risk?" Mo You's face darkened as he interrupted her. "I will not let her hurt you no matter what."
"I know." Seeing his excited state, Ren Xiangxiang took out another pill and put it in his mouth. "Calm down your demonic power. I don't intend to take any risks. Let me finish!"
The two stayed under the fault line until late at night. The surroundings were unusually quiet, so quiet that not a single living creature could be heard. This environment was extremely abnormal.
Ren Xiangxiang rubbed her injured ankle, silently praying, "Just hold on a little longer, and you'll be safe once we reach Fox Mountain."
"hiss……"
She accidentally used too much force, and the pain made her gasp.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo You suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something." Ren Xiangxiang quickly covered it up, then took a deep breath to adjust her breathing.
A cold wind howled, instantly reminding her of the wind in Xuewu Mountain. There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black all around, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
An ordinary human would not be able to see anything, but Ren Xiangxiang is at least a half-demon. Although she cannot see things that are too far away, she can still see the surrounding scenery clearly.
At that moment, she felt Mo You move slightly.
"Don't rush," Ren Xiangxiang said, pressing him down. "It's too quiet. I have a bad feeling. She must be hiding in the shadows. We have to find a way to get her out. Let's wait a little longer."
Mo You took a deep breath and sat back down.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ren Xiangxiang turned around and glanced at the cold sweat on Mo You's forehead. A flash of inspiration struck her, and she thought of something.
Meanwhile, the Gu woman hid in the shadows, her body like a taut bow, waiting for her prey to appear so she could launch a fatal attack.
She knew they must still be hiding nearby, since she would know immediately if they made any move.
She has plenty of ways to get them to come out, but it's too much work and they could easily escape in the chaos.
The Gu woman narrowed her eyes, and just then, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from the south.
They're out!
The Gu woman was overjoyed. In a flash, she became a red shadow as fast as lightning.
boom!
"Run!"
Ren Xiangxiang shouted urgently, and Mo You carried her and rushed out from the cliff in the opposite direction, heading straight for Fox Mountain.
The Gu woman, whose face was blasted by the fire-chasing stone carried by Wen Ting, was so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode. When she came to her senses, she didn't care about her messed-up hair at all. She was like an angry mother leopard, chasing after Mo You's demonic aura and killing her.
With the wind whistling in her ears, Ren Xiangxiang spotted the eerie red shadow behind her. As the Gu woman drew closer, a giant dandelion descended from the sky.
boom--
The powerful impact sent the two flying, and in the nick of time, Mo You used the force to throw Ren Xiangxiang away.
"Go to Fox Mountain quickly."
At this moment, Fox Mountain is right in front of them. As long as Ren Xiangxiang does her best and Mo You blocks her way, she can definitely enter Fox Mountain.
But Ren Xiangxiang did not hesitate at all; instead, she rushed towards Mo You.
The Gu woman, blinded by rage, was determined to kill Mo You, so she couldn't even spare Ren Xiangxiang from joining the fray.
"Run, Xiangxiang!"
Mo You, who was desperately trying to defend against the Gu woman's attacks, roared in anger.
"Run? None of you will escape!"
The Gu woman's evil aura surged, dandelions exploded into ice flowers, bursting and shooting out. Mo You flashed in front of Ren Xiangxiang, and the Ice Nightmare drew a shrill arc of light.
boom--
The force swept across, making his hands go numb. The Gu woman seized the opportunity to pounce, and the dandelion transformed into a deadly cold light.
The next second, two clanging sounds rang out. Mo You dodged the first sword and deflected the opponent's second attack with a backhand. Almost simultaneously, he heard Ren Xiangxiang's urgent cry.
"Get back!"
At her shout, the Gu woman subconsciously stopped moving and took a step back, only to see Ren Xiangxiang suddenly fly out her demonic claws and pull Mo You back.
When she came to her senses and angrily chased after him, a mosquito the size of a palm flew onto her head in a blur.
Rumble!
Mosquitoes can no longer transmit information once they leave Qiling Mountain, so it's just a large mosquito and can't fly very far.
However, it can carry fire-chasing stones. Although the fire-chasing stones cannot cause any harm to the Gu woman, they are extremely humiliating, and the Gu woman was blasted into a face full of ash.
The dandelion instantly became filled with evil power and surged wildly. The crazed Gu woman saw that Mo You was about to enter Fox Mountain with Ren Xiangxiang, so she gathered all her strength and attacked with all her might.
boom--
The overwhelming frost struck as fast as lightning, aiming to kill the two. Ren Xiangxiang glanced back, her pupils widening with a cold light. Just when she thought she was going to die there, the two crashed into the Fox Mountain territory.
The frost swarmed in, but was suddenly repelled by a tremendous demonic force when it touched the Fox Mountain territory.
Two translucent fox spirits flew out of the mountain and landed between Mo You, Ren Xiangxiang, and the Gu woman.
The frost instantly melted away, and the Gu woman's terrifying evil power seemed to be suppressed by an even stronger demonic power. The Gu woman let out a muffled groan and couldn't help but kneel down on one knee.
"Fox Mountain and Fox Spirits?!"
She had heard of the Fox Spirits of Fox Mountain, which were like the guardian spirits of Fox Mountain, and their strength was unfathomable. The Gu woman, who had just suffered a setback, did not dare to fight them head-on. She glared fiercely at the two people who were so close to her, and then disappeared into the forest unwillingly.
Ren Xiangxiang sat there for a while before realizing that the Gu woman was really gone and they were safe for the time being. Two fox spirits flew around her head once and then flew back into the mountains.
"Mo, Moyou!" Ren Xiangxiang was about to get up when she felt a pain in her ankle and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
Mo You coughed up blood, made a groan in her direction, then everything went black and he lost consciousness.
"Moyou, Moyou!"
Ren Xiangxiang scrambled to Mo You's side, tears welling up in her eyes, "Mo You—"
Deep within Fox Mountain, the current Demon Lord, Bing Xie, stood up abruptly upon hearing the news brought back by the Fox Spirit.
"Mo You is back?"
Fox Mountain is home to three major fox clans and a number of non-fox demon races. The previous conflict between these races resulted in countless deaths and injuries on both sides, severely weakening Fox Mountain.
Therefore, this is the time when the fox spirits are most vulnerable. They can withstand the Gu woman for a while, but if the opponent continues to attack, the fox spirits will also run out of power and disappear.
As a member of the Mohu clan, Moyou suffered greatly because the Fox Lord was in a coma, his father Mo Huan died in the internal strife of Fox Mountain, and his third uncle Mo Shi was seriously injured and almost lost his demon power.
Now, only the number one person of Fox Mountain, Xiao Yankai, remains, leading the younger generation who have not yet grown up.
Mo You's half-sister, Mo Rong, was the first to find the two unconscious people.
"What should we do? My brother is badly injured, even Sister Xiangxiang is unconscious. Cuixi, where is your senior brother?"
Mo Rong carried Mo You on his back and hurried towards the Mo Hu Clan while asking the strange-looking young man beside him a question.
Those snake demons should be preparing for hibernation right now. He wouldn't dare go looking for his grumpy senior brother.
His senior brother was named Feng Hua, who liked Xue Yue of the White Fox Clan. Because of the unreliable Master Mo, the whole Fox Mountain thought that Mo You liked Xue Yue, which caused a huge misunderstanding. As a result, Master Mo was chased by Xue Yue's father for several months and dared not show his face. Although it turned out to be just a rumor, Feng Hua still disliked Mo You very much.
Upon hearing that Mo You and Ren Xiangxiang were unconscious and injured, Feng Hua, who was initially somewhat gloating, ultimately couldn't refuse Xue Yue and went to the Mo Hu Clan with a sour face.
The Mohu Clan hadn't been this lively in a long time. Besides Mo Rong and Cui Xi, even Mo Shi heard the news and rushed back with Hu Ling.
"What happened to him? Wasn't he chasing after his wife? How did he get so badly injured?" Mo Shiren's voice came in even before he arrived.
Mo Rong, who was not clear about the situation, replied, "It seems they are being chased by someone and are still outside Fox Mountain."
"What? This is outrageous!" Upon hearing this, Fox Spirit was about to leave. "I'll see what dares to act so presumptuously on my Fox Mountain!"
"Wait!" Mo Shi, having calmed down, pressed down on Hu Ling. Although he was unreliable most of the time, he knew that even Mo You's strength had been forced to this point, so the newcomer was probably not easy to deal with.
"Let's wait for Mo You to wake up first, or let's try to wake Miss Ren up first. She can definitely save Mo You."
