Chapter 121

Feng Ling frowned, "Fox?"

"Yes, two fox demons wearing clothes, they went up the mountain!" Huangfu Miaomiao said curiously, "The trees are already burned, why are they still going up the mountain? Isn't it a wasted trip? It takes several hours to get from the fox village to the top of the mountain."

Feng Ling thought for a moment, closed his eyes and used "Mother's Thoughts" to trace the path and find the peak -

The scenery on the top of the peak changed drastically.

The ground was littered with charred branches and debris. Spiders were crawling nearby, spitting out layer after layer of silk webs that intertwined with the ashes.

The lush and towering trees became bare.

All the thinner branches were burned, leaving only the thicker branches and the trunk to maintain the shape of the tree.

Without the lush branches and leaves to block its view, the ancient pagoda is extremely conspicuous on the top of the peak.

The two fox demons circled around the top of the mountain, wanting to go up but seemed afraid of something. After hesitating for a long time, they finally stepped tentatively into the encirclement of the spider web.

The skeleton spiders pounced on the fox demon, but the fox demon dodged them skillfully.

The fox demon dodged and sniffed around, and at the same time, it set its eyes on the ancient pagoda, perhaps because it smelled the fruity fragrance emanating from the pagoda.

In fact, the fruit has not yet taken shape. Feng Ling can see it clearly - some buds have grown on the raised root of the ancient tower, and large green leaves have sprouted. There are small bulges in several places where the green leaves grow, and buds should be forming.

At this rate, new fruit will be produced tonight and ripe tomorrow.

Feng Ling became more determined to launch a second attack on the Leopard Woman today and not give it a chance to recover.

At this time, the fox demon had sneaked to the gate of the ancient tower. The leopard girl inside suddenly jumped out and roared like a tiger, scaring the fox demon so much that it ran away in panic!

The Leopard Woman is in hot pursuit!

Two fox demons ran wildly along the mountain path!
The Leopard Woman is big and fast, but the Fox Demon is nimble and good at hiding in corners. The Leopard Woman chased for hundreds of meters along the mountain road, but she couldn't catch a single Fox Demon.

Feng Ling followed the marked fog and saw them running past the corridor of Sanqing Palace and running down.

Her heart moved and she suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity.

"We didn't have time to burn all the tree roots before because the boss was halfway up the mountain. If we could lead the boss to a farther place, for example, to the foot of the mountain, even if it sensed someone burning the trees, it wouldn't be able to get back in time."

Feng Ling thought, "...I can go down the mountain and entangle it, and you go and burn the tree. As long as the tree is burned to death, it will have nothing to rely on. Then we can grind it to death."

They have already stockpiled a large amount of fruits in advance, so they can recover from any serious injuries. However, the maze boss has no fruits, so his injuries will become more and more serious, and his physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later.

The more Feng Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this method was reliable, and he gradually became excited.

But Pei Xianjue neither nodded nor shook his head, but looked at her with a conflicted expression.

"Hey, you don't want to back out at the critical moment, do you?" The smile on Feng Ling's face disappeared.

"No..." Pei Xianjue defended, "I'm worried about you. Look at this... What if it catches up with you and you can't beat it? You were badly injured yesterday, and now you have to lure it to the foot of the mountain. It will be even farther and more difficult for you to get back to the safe area for treatment."

Feng Ling frowned, "I'll take the fruit with me, so we don't have to go back to the safe zone for treatment."

"What if the fruit is snatched away by the Queen Mother of the West?" Pei Xianjue was still worried. "The fruit must not be discovered by it, otherwise my burning the tree will be meaningless."

Feng Ling looked around and pointed at Huangfu Miaomiao: "Put it in your grid."

Huangfu Miaomiao's face suddenly brightened up, and she swiftly picked up a few fruits from the hall and put them away.

Pei Xianjue was still in a state of panic. He looked at Huangfu Miaomiao, then at Baozi, and finally at Feng Ling. Feng Ling was helpless, "What's your problem?"

Pei Xianjue said with some lack of confidence: "Miao Miao will help you pack the fruits, Baozi will help you resist the mental pressure, then I...I will go burn the tree alone?"

"Deputy Captain Pei!" Feng Ling suddenly raised his voice, "Pei Xianjue, Deputy Captain Pei! Excuse me! A world-renowned hunter, a unique queen of fire, a brave and fearless warrior, the idol of all girls, can you go and burn trees alone?!"

Pei Xianjue's face turned green and red. He inhaled and exhaled, exhaled and inhaled again, and finally uttered a word: "...Yes!"

Feng Ling waved to Huangfu Miaomiao and Bao Changzhi, "Let's go~"

Huangfu Miaomiao jumped and left.

Baozi gave Pei Xianjue an encouraging look and left.

The figures of the three people quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The white fog is vast, and the peaks in the distance are looming.

The howling of wild beasts could be heard faintly in the mountains and forests, as if indicating that this place was full of unknown dangers.

Only Pei Xianjue and Li Qing were left in the hall.

Pei Xianjue looked at Li Qing awkwardly, "Master, can you..."

Li Qing immediately said: "I can tell you a fortune."

Pei Xianjue: “…………”

This is unnecessary.

She encouraged herself, tried not to recall the fear she felt when threatened by the Queen Mother of the West, and stepped out of the safe zone with gritted teeth.

…………

……

On the other side, Feng Ling took Huangfu Miaomiao and Baozi and quickly rushed to the location of the Leopard Girl.

"I saw it. The fox demon fled to the Fox Village, and the Queen Mother of the West has already chased it halfway up the mountain." Feng Ling said quickly, "At this distance, as long as we delay it for a little while, it should be enough time to burn the tree."

"What if the Queen Mother of the West loses the fox demon and doesn't want to chase it anymore, what should we do?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked.

Feng Ling picked up the gun he had borrowed from Pei Xianjue and said as he ran: "If it doesn't chase the fox demon, it will chase me. I will shoot it."

However, she has never practiced shooting specifically, so her accuracy is not very good. When the time comes, a random shot should attract the attention of the maze boss!

Baozi followed behind the two of them, a little worried, "When I release my spiritual power, there is a requirement for the distance. If I am too far away from Queen Mother Xi, I may not be able to help in time."

Feng Ling had a deep understanding of this. Yesterday, whether it was suppressing intimidation or mobilizing anger, Baozi was half a beat slow.

But she knew Baozi had tried his best, so she didn't blame him.

Feng Ling looked back at him and said, "Baozi, the main reason I brought you here is because I hope you can collect my body."

"Collect the bodies?!" Baozi staggered and almost fell.

"This maze boss is very strong. Frankly speaking, I don't have the confidence to kill it in one go." Feng Ling said seriously, "But if I can't kill it, I will kill it anyway. As long as I survive, I can keep killing it, ten or twenty times, even if it takes time! But the premise of this plan is that after I am severely injured by it, I need someone to take care of my body. If my body is left exposed in the wilderness, those little monsters in the mountains may have eaten my body before I can recover."
