Chapter 275 Cave
Chapter 275 Cave
The battle between the soldiers and the fox pack had reached a fever pitch, with countless fox carcasses piled up on the ground, and the stench of pus making people nauseous.
But no one cared about that anymore, because the foxes just kept popping up as if they were endless.
Tu Hao crushed two more fox cubs to death. The sticky sensation gradually aroused his bloodlust, reminding him of the devastating massacre of a human-headed rat at the train station.
It was also a group of mutants. Little mice kept crawling out of the cracks in the ground to attack him until he killed the mother mouse and successfully ended the ordeal. In the end, he fainted at the train station and was picked up by Miao Yin.
Tu Hao gritted his teeth, his emerald green pupils gleaming with ferocity, and his wolf claws were fully extended.
So he turned and plunged into the fox pack, and with incredible speed, he disemboweled two foxes in an instant, twisting off their heads and extinguishing their lives.
The massacre began.
Meanwhile, on the other side, thorns broke through the ground and kicked up gravel, no one knew when.
Ten minutes ago, Miao Yin walked across the roof of the car, and only after reaching the front of the car did she step onto the roof and jump out from the fox pack.
The flames spread out from her center, like a blooming red lotus flower, instantly engulfing all the mutants that tried to approach her.
On the clean road, Ling also jumped down. The two looked at each other and quickly left the place.
Soon, the burned road was filled with new foxes, leaving no trace.
Even after leaving the encirclement, there were still quite a few mutants outside, constantly attacking them. Ling opened her hands, and strung together all of them like beads from a string of snow-white thorns. The barbs grew back and tore the mutants to pieces.
The armory seemed to have completely become the territory of these foxes; if Mi Huo hadn't cleared it all along, there probably wouldn't have been a path in sight.
"Ayin, this doesn't make sense. How can there be so many mutant species in these mountains? How do they grow?"
“Think back carefully. As we’ve traveled, there are fewer and fewer creatures around us. We haven’t seen a single human, or even the lowest-level mutant species.”
"You mean, they were all eaten by the foxes?"
"Yes."
Miao Yin believed that the fox was not originally in the armory; otherwise, the previous team would have been wiped out.
It must have just stumbled upon this place by chance, found the location to be good, then established itself as the king of the mountain, and kept breeding its offspring, which led to the current situation.
What they are seeing now are merely its offspring, which already have green and even blue crystal cores, and are even divided into different sizes and abilities.
The fact that the Arc Swarm attacked them so cunningly suggests that the mutant that orchestrated all of this must be at the level of Pink Crystal.
Leaving them with the army is useless; as long as the mother fox lives, the fox pack will not perish.
The armory area was vast. Not long after breaking through the encirclement, Miao Yin released her off-road vehicle and stepped on the gas.
Thorns tacitly entwined themselves around the car, blocking everything that could hinder their progress.
In the darkness, Miao Yin's eyes shone brightly as she followed the direction the foxes had come from, quickly reaching the area near the center of the armory.
Looking up, one sees a towering armory reaching into the clouds, and foxes appearing one after another from who-knows-where.
Miao Yin didn't think this mutant could enter the armory sealed with lead water; it must have found a place nearby to settle down.
"Ling, lock this place for me."
"receive."
White thorns rose from the ground, forming a cage that surrounded most of the area. The dense, thorny vines intertwined, minimizing any gaps and effectively sealing off an open space.
Without the bright moonlight from the sky, it was even darker inside the thorns, and nothing could be heard except for the heavy breathing of the monsters.
Miao Yin put the car away, stepped on it, and flames roared up, the flowing fire splitting into countless arrow-shaped patterns.
Her fingers were like a bow, and with a single movement, she drew them to their full strength, unleashing flaming arrows that shot out in a radial pattern, killing all the foxes that lunged at her.
The flames didn't dissipate after passing through the first fox's body; instead, they continued to shoot outwards, accurately sniping each mutated fox as if it were alive. In the bright firelight, not a single corpse was left; only glittering crystal cores fell into the dust.
After the area was cleared, she finally saw the hidden entrance to the cave.
Beneath the impenetrable walls of the armory, where it met the ground, a large hole had been carved out.
The hole was about a meter wide, not too narrow, and that's where the foxes crawled out.
Miao Yin walked to the front of the large cave, flipped her hand, and the molten fire poured down like lava, flooding the passage and cleaning it completely.
"Walk."
Without hesitation, she jumped down, with Ling following closely behind her.
The distance from the entrance to the ground was only two meters in both directions. They bent over and walked further in, then turned left. Before long, they came to a spacious area. They straightened up, and the firelight illuminated the area ahead.
This is actually a man-made passage!
Miao Yin touched the wall. Although it was covered with fox claw marks, the preciousness of the original material was still evident.
This is a passageway connected to the armory; it was not built in an ordinary way. This fox was lucky enough to have strayed into this passageway while digging its burrow, and from then on, it took over the place of the fox.
The passage was filled with the stench of foxes, and from deeper in the passage came rustling sounds and the calls of foxes.
More than a dozen fox cubs leaped out and attacked them, but Miao Yin didn't even look at them. She burned them all to the ground. They walked inside step by step and finally saw the creature's true form.
It was a fat, oily, mutated creature, its body bloated and ugly, its enormous body filling the end of the passage.
Its upper body and limbs were those of a black fox with a mouth full of fangs, but its chest and abdomen were that of a human. Its tail, almost as big as its body, was placed under its body, and wet, sticky fluid was flowing all over the ground.
The fox lay sprawled on a pile of branches and leaves, its belly strangely bulging, with an unknown creature surging inside, causing its belly to rise and fall with it. Its upturned fox eyes slanted out, its red pupils staring, seemingly without a ripple of emotion, yet inexplicably inspiring contempt.
If this happened in ancient times, it would definitely be a spirit that even a thousand-year-old monk couldn't exorcise.
"Yo-"
The fox licked its long tongue, then moved its lower body, flattening its entire abdomen. At the same time, dozens of red fox cubs fell down its tail.
They rolled around a few times, got up from the ground, shook their heads to shake off the slime, and then shrieked at them.
This batch of fox cubs is different from the ones they saw outside earlier; those had black fur, clearly indicating that this was a new breed created by the mother fox.
They looked fiercer, more agile, and more venomous than the little foxes from before.
Miao Yin's eyes burned with intensity; her fighting spirit had already been ignited.
Without a doubt, that big fox was a pink crystal-level aberration.
