CHAPTER 639: CHAPTER 638: DO YOU WANT TO BECOME STRONGER?

The arrow he shot with his own hands all those years ago was now piercing him right between the eyes.

Hu Jun’s lips twitched, and he turned around, making hand seals with both hands to shoot several Ice Arrows, "Hu Rao, Old Six, kill those three and let’s leave together!"

Striking first could indeed seize the initiative, but the remaining three didn’t dare to drop their guard. Sensing something amiss, they immediately formed an alliance, "Let’s join forces and take them down!"

With Hu Zhili’s example before them, no one dared to target the Void Hunter.

The only way to grasp a sliver of hope was to fight desperately!

The six Fox Demons split into two groups, fighting intensely back and forth, while Jiang Yuan and Hu Zhile watched with interest from the sidelines.

But as the battle raged on, the truth came out. One of them ran out of the effects of the medicine pill and had no pill to swallow, and a strange aura "sizzled" out of his body.

"Oh dear, it turns out you’ve been contaminated!" Jiang Yuan remarked, recognizing an opportunity.

The Soul Hook whirled with a wooshing sound.

[Mysterious Soul Fragment +1]

[Mysterious Soul Fragment +1]

Two fragments went into the Storage Bag, and just a moment ago, the fierce and battling Fox Demon mysteriously went "thud," collapsing to the ground entirely dead.

The Fox Demon, who had been fighting against it, realized something was dreadfully wrong, knowing the time to swallow his pill was soon upon him!

Exposing himself would mean death, without even a chance to escape;

Unfortunately, Hu Jun and the others had no intention of letting him live and certainly wouldn’t give him a pill.

With no way forward and no retreat possible, he turned angrily towards Hu Jun, aiming to take down the culprit together before his aura exposed him, and seize his Storage Bag to have the pill in hand!

"The pill! The pill!" Hu Rao also panicked; could the medicine pill only last for such a short time?

If he had known earlier, he would have made sure to have a few daggers stashed with him and wouldn’t have been caught unprepared.

Hu Jun, caught between two attacks, didn’t even have time to take his own pill, let alone give one to him, resulting in another exposure the next second.

"You’ve been contaminated too, alas, such a pity." Jiang Yuan, lying in wait, took down another with a hook.

With only four left now, Hu Jun’s burden lessened considerably. He swiftly swallowed a pill himself and then discreetly handed one each to Hu Rao and Old Six, while changing positions.

The isolated one, seeing black mist billowing from his own body, shouted, "They’re all myster..."

"Such insignificant eerie things, way too much talk." Jiang Yuan struck thrice, fragment +2.

"Jiang Dao You, your Fire Eyes Golden Gaze is truly impressive!" Hu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, cheekily saying, "With only us three remaining, when should we prepare to set off?"

Hu Zhile also chuckled, "Absolutely, absolutely, congratulations to the three of you for standing out. Once you pass the investigation of the Venerable Family, you will naturally be able to board the Immortal Shuttle."

Still need verification?

The smiles on the faces of the three Fox Demons became somewhat stiff, filled with guilt and worry that their true selves would be revealed.

"Hu Jun Dao You, you go first." Catch the leader first, Jiang Yuan swung the Soul Hook from his left wrist, "whoosh," the Iron Claw at the end of the chain hooked on, fragment +1.

A second earlier, Hu Jun’s expression of nervousness and anxiety hadn’t even faded, and in an instant, his soul was sliced, and the next moment, he fell lifelessly to the ground.

[Fox Demon Hu Jun’s Storage Bag +1]

[Spirit Stones contaminated by eerie aura +500]

[Wild Wave Sect Key contaminated by eerie aura +1]

......

"A pity, even the Ninth Elder was unknowingly tainted by the eeriness." Hu Zhile sighed lightly, sweeping his gaze with amusement, scaring the remaining two Fox Demons into an involuntary shiver.

At this point, their illusion of luck finally shattered, and they instinctively exchanged glances, turned around, and ran for it!

"Whizz!"

[Mysterious Soul Fragment +1]

......

Before they could even let out a final cry, the two Fox Demons fell to the ground in quick succession.

"Let’s go, we must catch those who fled earlier and eliminate them." Jiang Yuan looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, thinking of calling for the Bluebird specially for a purification process after everything was done.

With his Ice Flame Little Flame having reached level 1, its purification ability has doubled but still only added 200 points. Counting on it to fully purify the remnants of this world would be a long wait.

"Boom!"

Just preparing to take off in Sword Flight to search for the escaping eerie beings in the deep mountains, a dense black mist suddenly emerged from the destination forest, and they saw a group of about seventeen or eighteen eeriness rushing to escape. They vaguely heard a commotion.

Soon after, massive tentacles at least ten meters long extended from the black mist, each covered in countless eyeballs, which locked onto their targets before swooping down to grab them all up!

The tragic cries echoed relentlessly, and within mere seconds, those fleeing eeriness were swallowed into the black mist, never to be heard from again.

With no targets left, the massive mushroom cloud-like black mist lingered momentarily before slowly retracting back into the forest, vanishing without a trace.

"Venerable Family..." Hu Zhile couldn’t help but shiver slightly, "What is that big thing? This place is not safe; we must leave quickly!"

Jiang Yuan had never seen such a scene, but at first glance, he knew this thing was undoubtedly the final big boss.

Retreat was not an option, for this place was definitely his to claim!

He hurriedly glanced at the system identification details he hadn’t had time to check in the lower right corner of his vision—[Demonized Red Snake Eerie: Advanced Monster.

Formed by the fusion of hundreds of Demonized Red Snakes that fell in the Ghost Realm, when the remnants of this world neared the Ghost Realm, the Fox Demon clan ambushed human cultivators, triggering a fierce battle between the two races, and drew it out from the Ghost Realm. It lurks in the deep mountains as a source of contamination.

Beware, it will devour any creature daring to come near.]

"Demonized Red Snake?" Jiang Yuan confirmed it was the first time he’d heard of such a creature, uncertain if it was due to being too far to see clearly or changes from the fusion and mutation, as those tentacles just now felt not much related to snakes.
