Female Novel
Chapter 524 Hunting the Spirit Fox Down
How did she meet Chen Hao? Is he here at Long Jiang? Maybe this Chen Hao is different from the one
I know? Yang Xia thought.
Since there was some news about Chen Hao, Yang Xia could not control herself. She ran after Lu Han
and asked her…
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since Chen Hao left the Lu Family.
At the borders of Long Jiang, in An Ling, where traditions had passed down for thousands of years,
mountains upon mountains loomed in the distance and dense forests provide a shelter for various
species of animals to hide and hunt.
“Remember to block the entrance of the cave. We must not let it run away again. It’s so cunning!”
A group of men were trying to block the spirit fox at a hole in a cave.
They were Chen Hao and his men, led by Uncle Wen.
After they got the map of An Ling from Meng Kang, it greatly reduced the hard work that they needed to
put in and maximize their efficiency.
The result was as if they obtained a GPS navigation system in the woods.
They successfully found the trail of the spirit fox at dawn last night.
However, it was too sly and slipped away.
For the span of around one day, they encountered the spirit fox directly more than once, but they
underestimated it.
They were tormented by it for an entire night—none of them had any sleep last night.
After battling with it for more than ten rounds, they were all lost and dejected.
Now that they used a lot of effort to trap it in the hole, Uncle Wen was incredibly excited.
“We must not let this creature run away again! It was written on the Scripture of Beasts that it is
incredibly fast, and most importantly, it can figure out a way to deal with us quickly. It’s intelligence is
even higher than the human!” Chen Hao explained nervously.
Before entering the mountains, Chen Hao spent the entire night reading the Scripture of Beasts,
especially focusing on the section of the spirit fox.
He knew that if it got away this time, they would have a hard time finding its trail ever again, let alone
capturing it.
“It’s coming out. Be quiet!” Uncle Wen gestured everyone to stay silent.
In the narrow hole, Chen Hao saw a lock of white fur moving toward the exit.
Everyone held their breath and surrounded the hole in a crowd.
On the other side of the hole, one of them kept fanning smoke into it to finally lure the fox out.
Almost there!
Just when the spirit fox was half a meter away from the exit of the hole, a thick green gas was suddenly
released from it.
The thick gas had an extremely bad smell, enough to suffocate people.
Chen Hao and the other guys were just by the hole of the cave; they were too near to the gas.
Apart from Chen Hao who covered his mouth and moved aside, the rest were caught in the onslaught
of the gas.
Squeak!
As if mocking them, the spirit fox let out a squeaking sound.
With a flash of white light, it took this opportunity to run outside.
“It got away again!” Uncle Wen said annoyedly.
“Chase it down!”
Chen Hao had great reflexes and ran toward the spirit fox immediately at his fastest speed.
Uncle Wen and the rest started chasing after it, but they were left behind Chen Hao very soon, until
they couldn’t even see Chen Hao.
“Master Wen, what should we do now? We couldn't catch up to Young Master!” someone asked.
“Let's try to follow him. If it doesn’t work out, then we retreat to where we were just now and wait there!”
Uncle Wen instructed.
Squeak! Squeak!
The spirit fox raced through the canopy like an arrow, stepping on twigs and branches.
It squeaked mockingly at the same time..
Chen Hao put in all his effort and used his Agility Skill to chase it down.
His feet were off the ground, just stepping on the tip of the grass lightly at a great speed.
After some time, knowing that it couldn’t outrun Chen Hao, the spirit fox fell to the ground and
disappeared into the thick bushes.
“You got away again!” Chen Hao finally stopped in disappointment.
He held his breath and looked for it carefully.
He was afraid to slack off. If the spirit fox completely disappeared in this region, all their previous efforts
would go down the drain.
“Don’t kill us! Don’t kill us!”
Just then, a few people ran toward him while shouting fearfully.
They seemed to be running for their lives.
Chen Hao’s eyebrows knitted together.
Why didn’t they come earlier or later? Why does it have to be now?
The few people who were running let out some blood curdling screams and fell to the ground.
But Chen Hao ignored them.
“I had no choice. Since you followed me here, you knew the path I took. I had to kill you!”
With his hands behind his back, an elderly man walked to the two corpses in front of him and laughed
cruelly.
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Chen Hao standing among the bushes.
When he made out Chen Hao’s facial features, he raised his eyebrows.
“It was him! Well, you brought your own doom this time!” he sneered.
“Chen Hao, Young Master Chen, how are you?” He walked toward Chen Hao with a murderous look in
his eyes.
Chen Hao was paying attention to his surroundings, but he still raised his head subconsciously once henovelbin
heard that someone recognized him here.
“It’s you.”
Chen Hao froze.
Just then, the spirit fox which was hidden somewhere suddenly moved and jumped into a valley with
surrounding thick fog that obstructed Chen Hao’s vision. Hence, the fox disappeared in no time.
“Stop!”
Chen Hao gritted his teeth in annoyance and followed suit; he jumped into the valley as well.
“Hmph? This brat seems to be quite skilled. I’ve got the spirit medicine now, and this guy has been rich
since young. If I could extract his heart and use his DNA as a primer, it would be much more useful
than the scums here. I’ll kill him!”
After making his decision, his mouth curled into a vicious smile. He followed Chen Hao’s trail and
chased after him.
“I don’t know when we can capture this beast, now that it escaped again!”
Chen Hao ruffled his hair anxiously and sat down on a rock in the valley.
He tried to remember the notes on the Scripture of Beasts.
Suddenly, he had an idea!
The essence of blood!
Oh right, I could use the essence of blood!
He was too anxious that he forgot this method. Chen Hao stood up and laughed.
As it was mentioned before, creatures like the spirit fox were smarter than human prodigies.
However, it had one deadly weakness—greed.
It loved to drink blood, especially blood from strong humans which was beneficial to it.
Human blood was its greatest temptation.
As long as he could extract and refine a human into an essence of blood, the spirit fox definitely could
not resist the temptation.
The essence of blood could be created through extraction and distillation of blood.
However, Chen Hao felt disappointed again.
Even though he could use the two victims who were killed just now, he ran too far from them.
With the distance between them, the sly spirit fox might not even be in the valley anymore.
Moreover, he needed a large amount of blood.
Well, I can’t kill myself to lure the fox out, can I?
Is it destined that I could never catch the spirit fox and become a bloodsucking demon in the future?
Chen Hao’s spirits sank.
Just then, a rustling sound not far from him was heard.
