Chapter 335: The Arrival of Little Fox
After giving his disciple a lesson, Xu Fan arrived at the underground space, feeling refreshed.
The Iron Mischief Monkeys that had just entered the natural passage between the two realms still required his commands.
In the underground space, within a large private room, Xu Fan stood before a light curtain that displayed the perspective of an Iron Mischief Monkey.
“Who would have thought the demon race has such desolate and barren areas? It’s truly unbelievable,” Xu Fan remarked as he looked at the surrounding wasteland.
As far as Xu Fan could see, it was all red earth.
“Not bad, the biggest advantage is that it’s remote and lacks beast race inhabitants.”
With a single order, all the hybrid monkey puppets began to establish the underground base.
Thousands of mining puppets transformed into excavators, digging into the ground.
Strange satellites, crafted from spirit ore unique to the beast race, slowly ascended into the sky.
At that moment, an Iron Mischief Puppet, infused with Xu Yuexian’s consciousness, appeared beside Xu Fan’s puppet.
“Why are you suddenly interested in this?” Xu Fan asked.
“I’ve lost focus on my cultivation, so I came to see what Master was doing. Do you need help?” Xu Yuexian replied with a smile.
“In this place, having the Iron Mischief Monkeys is sufficient. If you’re bored, go look around for anything unusual.
This barren landscape must have its reasons.”
“Alright, this is my forte,” Xu Yuexian said happily, and then she controlled the Iron Mischief Monkey puppet to fly off into the distance.
The soul iron monkeys Xu Fan created were all modified Nascent Soul Stage puppets, and it was no problem for them to fly with a sorcerer’s intent.
As the puppets dug deeper, the basic framework of the underground base was nearly completed, and Xu Fan sealed the entrance of the natural passage with a sealing formation.
The beast race’s specially made satellites had all reached their designated locations in the sky.
“Grapevine, is there anything unusual within a ten-thousand-mile radius of this area?” Xu Fan inquired.
“Satellite scan reveals that the entire area within ten thousand miles is barren, with the spiritual energy density at a poverty level,” Grapevine responded.
“Continue extending the detection until we find the first beast tribe,” Xu Fan contemplated.
“Understood.”
After inquiring, Xu Fan looked at the mining puppets. Given the current low density of spiritual energy, all the puppets were powered by spirit stones.
“Should we bring out the spiritual energy batteries?” Xu Fan wondered while observing the rapidly depleting spirit stones.
The newly created puppets on Hidden Spirit Island each contained a small Spirit Gathering Formation, functioning adequately in areas with moderate spiritual energy.
Just then, Xu Fan controlled his puppet to appear on the ground, and he noticed Xu Yuexian’s Iron Mischief Monkey puppet running frantically toward him.
“Master, help~~”
“There are so many bugs~~”
Xu Yuexian shouted as her puppet was followed by tens of thousands of fire ants, each as thick as an arm.
“This place definitely has something strange,” Xu Fan said, narrowing his eyes.
With a light wave of his hand, a fiery cloak appeared behind Xu Yuexian’s puppet, shielding it just as the fire ants were about to catch up.
“You’re controlling a Nascent Soul Stage puppet, yet you’re letting a bunch of bugs chase you all over the place?” Xu Fan chuckled.
“It’s my first time controlling a puppet, and I’m still figuring out how to cast spells properly,” Xu Yuexian replied, glancing with disgust at the acidic residue from the fire ants stuck to her puppet.
“Did you find anything interesting over there?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued. The beast race’s satellites could only do rough scans, so some areas were inevitably missed.
“I found this,” Xu Yuexian said, pulling out a chunk of fire crystal spirit ore.
“Fire crystal spirit ore? Is there a lot of it?” Xu Fan asked, surprised.
“Tons of it. Enough to keep us mining for a hundred years, at least.”
“The only issue is the fire ants. Their nest is right next to it,” Xu Yuexian explained, projecting a light curtain that showed the scene she had just witnessed.
“Haha, perfect! Now we’ve got the main ingredient for our Sea Ship cannonballs,” Xu Fan said, already envisioning the different types of cannonballs they could make with the fire crystal spirit ore.
Xu Fan hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a treasure in this barren place.
“Grapevine, adjust the Production Line.”
“Understood.”
While Xu Fan was instructing Grapevine to modify the Production Line, a small, mottled Little Fox appeared on the shore near Hidden Spirit Island. She gazed out at the Endless Sea, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
“I can’t believe that teleportation formation actually worked,” Little Fox murmured, amazed that the Formation left by the demon race so long ago was still functional.
“My little husband, I’m coming for you.”
With that, Little Fox leaped into the Endless Sea, transforming into a small fish and swimming toward Hidden Spirit Island.
Back on Hidden Spirit Island, Jian Wujie, who was in the middle of a class, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
“Wujie, something’s definitely wrong. We should go see Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu said, pausing his swordsmanship training.
“Grapevine, I need to report something important to Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu said. In the Hidden Spirit Sect, all disciples had the privilege of contacting Xu Fan directly.
However, if it turned out to be a false alarm, the consequences for disturbing the Grand Elder would be severe.
At that moment, Xu Fan, who was in the underground space, received Han Feiyu’s request and immediately answered.
“What’s going on?”
“Jian Wujie has been having constant headaches lately. I think it might be a trap left by that fox demon from before,” Han Feiyu said, his expression serious.
“I see. That’s within my expectations. I’ve already made some arrangements behind the scenes. Just stay calm and wait,” Xu Fan said, laughing.
As Xu Fan put it, the protagonist’s second wave of benefits had arrived.
“Thank you, Master Ancestor,” Han Feiyu said sincerely, feeling an even stronger connection to the sect.
In the main peak academy, Jian Wujie looked at Han Feiyu and asked, “Master Ancestor wants us to wait and see?”
“Yes, he said everything’s been taken care of.”
“Alright, let’s not overthink it. Let’s go play a round of Life and Death Evasion. I feel like I’ve finally figured something out, and this time I’m sure I’ll make it into the top two hundred,” Han Feiyu said confidently.
“Oh? What did you figure out?”
“Speed in the curves is what really matters. Practicing straight-line acceleration is pointless,” Han Feiyu declared, based on his recent experience in the game.
“I see,” Jian Wujie nodded, as if he had gained some new insight.
Half a month later, outside Hidden Spirit Island, a small, mottled Little Fox quietly came ashore, slipping past everyone, including Grapevine.
“My little husband, just come to me.”
Meanwhile, Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie, who had just come out of the trial tower, were in high spirits.
Thanks to the Life and Death Evasion Game, both of them had made it into the top two hundred and received a consolation reward of 1 point.
“You two did well,” Shadow Spike, cloaked in black, gave them a thumbs-up.
“Of course. Next time, we’ll take you out in the battle royale game,” Jian Wujie boasted.
Just then, Jian Wujie suddenly froze, captivated by the stunning view of the Endless Sea stretching out before him.
