BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34: Fox Lord!
Chu Qingwu’s figure was vigorous as she quickly rushed over.
Seeing the pale-faced Xue Qiaoqiao and unconscious Su Mo, her heart tightened slightly.
Although she quickly realized that they were only exhausted and not in danger, if they did not receive treatment in time, it would likely affect their subsequent recovery.
Not to mention, Su Mo had suffered many injuries.
Chu Qingwu immediately took out the various secret medicine that she had brought with her.
They were no ordinary medicine. Instead, they were a variety of spiritual potions made by Transcendents. They were especially used to treat the various injuries of the Transcendents. Every single one of them was extremely expensive.
“Here!”
Xue Qiaoqiao took the medicine but didn’t use them. Instead, she poured all the mind potions, energy potions, and even healing potions down Su Mo’s throat.
Seeing this, Chu Qingwu wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Some of the potions were originally for Xue Qiaoqiao, who couldn’t possibly have failed to notice that. Yet in the end, she had given all of them to Su Mo. When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
Seeing that Su Mo’s injuries were rapidly healing and his breathing became steady and powerful, Xue Qiaoqiao was finally relieved. She turned to Chu Qingwu and asked, “Where are the others?”
“They should be here in a while. I was the closest to you guys,” Chu Qingwu looked at the corpses around her that had yet to completely turn into pus. There were also many traces of battle on the ground.
She said with slight surprise, “I didn’t expect you two to be able to unleash such a powerful fighting force and kill several level-3 fox demons. This is amazing.”
Looking at the amazed Chu Qingwu, Xue Qiaoqiao said helplessly, “I stopped contributing to the battle five minutes ago.”
“So?”
“He killed all these level-3 fox demons by himself.”
“How is this possible?!” Chu Qingwu looked at Su Mo, who was lying in Xue Qiaoqiao’s arms, and her face was filled with disbelief.
It wasn’t that she had never come into contact with a sword saint. She even had a genius sword saint by her side in the past.
It was not rare for a level 1 sword saint to kill a level 2 demon, but it was extremely rare for a level 1 Transcendent to kill a level 3 demon.
Even if these level 3 fox demons didn’t seem to be very strong, they were still at level 3.
Just the enhancement of a level 3 demon’s physical abilities could easily crush a level 2 Transcendent, let alone a level 1.
If he had Xue Qiaoqiao, a peak level-3 light mage, to assist him, then Su Mo might more or less have a chance of killing a level-3 demon.
However, to kill one alone?
No matter how she thought about it, it was just a fantasy.
Reason told Chu Qingwu that this was something impossible, but when she rushed over just now, she had clearly seen Su Mo fighting with a level 3 fox demon.
Furthermore, the combat power he had unleashed was definitely not only at level 1.
Since Qiaoqiao wasn’t helping, whatever he used just now must’ve been his trump card.
Thinking about how Su Mo had not only helped them solve many big cases since he joined but had even found the most important Door, Chu Qingwu’s heart was filled with an inexplicable curiosity towards him.
Soon, Su Mo, who had taken a large number of potions, slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see something above him.
Hm? What was going on with the wave-shaped sky?
Soon, when he had completely regained his senses, he finally realized where he was.
F*ck! A knee pillow?
Then, he heard a delighted voice from above him, “You’re awake?”
“Yes,” Su Mo slowly got up.
Xue Qiaoqiao quickly held him and asked happily, “How’s your recovery?”
“Even though most of my injuries have already healed, I’m too exhausted in terms of stamina and spirit. It’ll probably be hard for me to fight again in a short time,” Su Mo replied with a bitter smile.
“It’s fine. You just need to rest,” Xue Qiaoqiao smiled and said, “Everyone’s here already, so it’s not your turn to fight now.”
Su Mo looked into the distance and saw many Transcendents gathered on the cliff.
It was obvious that most of the troops had rushed over based on the location they sent out.
The leader, Xu Liushuang, was squatting and questioning the girl.
Looking at the many teammates, Su Mo instantly felt a deep sense of security.
Now, no matter how many level-3 fox demons rushed out, they would just be delivering themselves to their deaths.
Soon, Xu Liushuang stood up after adding some details to his understanding of the events. Following this, he assigned tasks to the various parties.
Then, he turned to look at Su Mo, who was being supported by Xue Qiaoqiao. He walked toward him with a smile and a look of approval on his face, “You did well this time. To think you managed to determine the location of the Door. I’ll ask the superiors for a merit for you when all this is done.”
Merit?
Hearing this word, Su Mo’s spirit instantly jolted.
He had thought that he would have to wait a year or two before he could earn his first merit. He didn’t expect that just finding the location of the Door would be a meritorious service.
Thinking of this, Su Mo quickly spoke up, “Deacon Xu, I’ve actually discovered something else.”
“What is it?”
“There’s a high chance that there’s a fox lord at the Door.”
“A fox lord?!” Xu Liushuang’s face abruptly turned serious, “Are you really sure?”
Su Mo thought for a moment before saying, “Since they need void-splitting stones to stabilize the passage and expand the crack, they will have to try their best to minimize any interferences on the Door during this period. In other words, they would have to stop transporting demons. However, there were many fox demons around the village. In other words, there’s a high chance that they were all born here by the fox lord who had passed through the rift. These fox demons are all born in a short time, which is why their battle prowess is lower than those of the same level.”
Xu Liushuang nodded slightly as if he agreed with the analysis. He furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then raised his voice to the Transcendents around him and said, “There’s a change in plans. Everyone below level 3 will retreat. The remaining members are to immediately set off for the Door. I’ve already reported the situation to the higher-ups, so it won’t be long before reinforcements arrive. However, if a fox lord is really there, the battle just now must have alarmed it. Perhaps it is now mass-producing fox demons. To prevent the fox demons from flooding the place, we have to deal with the situation as soon as possible and interrupt her delivery!”
Everyone agreed in unison.
Chu Qingwu looked at Su Mo with a strange expression.
Su Mo looked away, feeling a sense of diffidence. He thought about it carefully. What he said just now didn’t seem to be wrong.
Moreover, once everyone got close to the Door, they would find that his guess was right.
When he was fighting with the fox demons, he unintentionally learned about all this through physical contact with the opponents.
If he wanted to benefit himself, he would naturally hide this information and let the fox lord give birth to as many fox demons as possible. After all, the more fox demons there were, the more lifespan he could gain.
However, considering the complex terrain and the steep mountains, if things were not handled well, many fox demons would escape and harm others.
Even though Su Mo could not be considered a good person, he wouldn’t be reduced to using the safety of ordinary people as resources for advancement. Otherwise, what was the difference between him and those evil Transcendents?
Therefore, he immediately reported the relevant information.
The team began to split up, and even he, a level 1 injured person, was about to be driven down the mountain.
Su Mo tried his best to persuade Deacon Xu, and with the help of Xue Qiaoqiao and Chu Qingwu, was finally allowed to stay.
After that, he confidently followed the group in the direction of the Door.
He didn’t think that a mere fox lord would be able to cause much harm to such a powerful team.
However, he would never have thought that more than one fox lord was guarding the Door. There were three of them.
