Chapter 617 – Going and Coming Back
”Alright, let’s do as Brother Han says. But this Corpse Demon, what do you plan to do with it?” White Fox transmitted a voice to Han Li with divine thoughts.
”I’ll first use the Gold Devouring Insect to see if I can devour it. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, letting this monster fend for itself is fine. Besides, I took away the jade box that probably contained his main soul, so it’s even less likely to make any big waves.” Han Li took a look at the green-haired corpse elf and said unconcernedly.
He then slapped one hand toward his waist, a spirit beast pouch was sacrificed into the air, and countless Gold Devouring Insects swarmed out, transforming into a three-colored insect cloud several zhang in size that landed on the corpse mandrill.
Then the sound of gnawing rose, but Han Li coldly watched for a moment, and saw part of the Gold Devouring Insects suddenly one by one rolled over and died, and the original three-colored armor was instantly transformed into a turquoise color.
”What a powerful corpse poison!” Han Li muttered as his face changed slightly. He then hesitated for a moment before letting out a soft chant under his breath, and all of the flying insects flew up once again, returning to the spirit beast pouch.
”The Corpse Poison on the Corpse Demon’s body, although it can’t be ranked among the ten absolute poisons in the world, it’s certainly not something that your yet-to-be-evolved Gold Devouring Insect can resist.” The White Fox said after a leisurely turn of the eyeballs on the side.
Han Li grunted and coldly looked at the Corpse Demon with a frown.
This monster’s body was tough, and I’m afraid it was far above the Poison Jiao of that day. The flesh on its body had only been bitten through a tiny bit by the Gold Devouring Insects, and according to this gnawing method, I’m afraid that the three-colored Gold Devouring Insects would have lost nine times out of ten in order to completely extinguish this monster’s flesh. Han Li naturally wouldn’t do this kind of costly deal.
”Let’s go.” Han Li said without further hesitation.
”It can only be done! Leaving this Corpse Demon behind may have another use in the future!” The white fox nodded. Then a strange light flashed on its body, separating out a yellow coyote.
As soon as the coyote appeared, it immediately rushed towards Han Li and the white fox and opened its mouth, a piece of yellow light covered them within, and one person and one fox suddenly disappeared from the stone room.
On the outside of the cliff, Senior Brother Wang and Qui Huan and others stood there with anxious faces. A few of them don’t know the art of earth evasion. They could only wait here for Han Li’s return.
”Senior brother, do you think Senior Brother Han will be able to win?” That Qui Huan was a bit impatient and asked Senior Brother Wang.
When the other two heard this, they similarly looked over with a look of concern. Obviously, several of them were quite convinced of this Senior Brother Wang’s judgment.
”It’s not too easy to say. Logically speaking, with Senior Brother Han’s cultivation at the 10th level of the Qi Refining Stage, I’m afraid it won’t be too easy to catch up with this demon fox, but Senior Brother Han has quite a few divine magic weapons on his body, so he might give us an unexpected surprise. Regardless of that outcome appearing, there’s nothing to be surprised about.” Senior Brother Wang pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly.
The three of them, Kui Huan, couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this.
After that short and fat youth sighed, he waved his injured palm as if he wanted to say something. But just at that moment. The mountain wall suddenly flashed with light, and amidst a cloud of yellow awnings, Han Li emerged with Little Fox in his hand.
”Senior Brother Han!”
”Really caught this little thing!” Seven mouths said, everyone’s face showing excitement.
”It’s nothing, this demon fox is really a bit cunning, it even circled around inside. If it didn’t end up with its own spiritual power running out, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been able to get its hands on it so quickly.” Han Li said with a faint smile, lifting the white fox in his hand and throwing it to Kui Huan, who was diagonally opposite.
Kui Huan was stunned, and immediately took it over with joy.
”Senior Brother Kui! Be careful, don’t let it run away again!” That short and fat youth was at the side, and hurriedly spoke out to remind him.
”Don’t worry! I have the numbers in my heart.” Kui Huan lifted the white fox and returned with a clear conscience. Then he molded into his storage bag and pulled out a turquoise leather pouch out and stuffed the little fox in three times.
”Hehehe! With this turquoise cloud pouch, I’ll see where you’re going to run this time?” Qui Huan said with a smug look on his face after tying the mouth of the bag shut quickly.
Han Li looked at the leather pouch for a few moments, and seeing that it was only a lower-ranked artifact, he no longer placed it on his mind.
”This time I was able to catch this demonic beast, it’s really thanks to the help of Senior Brother Han. We are not the ones who don’t know what’s good for us, so let’s do it this way, when the demon fox sells for a good price, Senior Brother Han alone will take 30% of it, and the rest will be equally divided among the four of us, how about it?” Senior Brother Wang ignored the little fox in the bag, and rushed back to Han Li to say sincerely and unusually.
Hearing this, Han Li smiled faintly, knowing that the other party had seen that his means were not weak and had truly begun to befriend him. Thus, he also nodded without politeness and said under his breath, “Everything will be decided by Brother Wang, I have no opinion.”
Although the other three were a little reluctant to share some of the spirit stones, they also knew that without Han Li’s help this time, they would really be left with a basket of water. Therefore, no one raised any objections!
Below, Han Li chatted with them for a few more polite words before parting ways with the four of them on the pretext that he had something to do, and flew off alone in the direction of the sect.
After discussing with Senior Brother Wang and the four of them, they decided to strike while the iron was hot and head straight for a workshop in the middle of Cloud Dream Mountain. There were many disciples of the three sects mixed there, so it was estimated that they could sell this Snow Cloud Spirit Fox for a higher price.
So the three of them and Han Li traveled in the opposite direction, happily leaving the swamp as well.
Han Li left a few people not much farther, and casually looked for a small hill to land, and then sat down on a piece of mountain rock with his eyes closed. He was carrying the Jade Ruin, and the White Fox would be able to sense the location and find it on its own.
About half an hour later, Han Li’s expression moved and opened his eyes. Almost simultaneously, the ground in front of him flashed with yellow light, and the white fox drilled out unhurriedly.
”Your movements aren’t slow!” Han Li looked at the white fox twice and said noncommittally.
”It’s not that I’m moving fast, but those few people actually used a lower-ranked spirit weapon to load me up, and also somewhat underestimated me. Right now those few guys, I’m afraid that they haven’t realized that I’ve disappeared.” The White Fox raised its head once and said with a smile, a hint of playfulness still showing in its eyes.
”However, by doing so, these few Falling Cloud Sect disciples are considered to have worked for nothing. When you have the chance, give them some more favors!” Han Li said expressionlessly.
”If that’s the case, these few people have been blessed by misfortune.” The White Fox said leisurely with a shake of its skull.
”Alright, don’t talk nonsense. You’ll manifest a smaller figure and hide in my cuffs come on, we’re going back now.” Han Li shook his cuff and said.
Hearing this, the White Fox didn’t say a word as its figure rapidly shrunk within the silver light, then with a flash of white shadow, it leapt into Han Li’s cuffs.
Because under the ban on the white fox, Han Li is not afraid of its sudden mischief of the backstabbing themselves, so boldly fly to the road.
Han Li did not directly return to the cave, but took the white fox to that under the main peak of the fallen cloud clan. Nodding an artifact spirit required the assistance of several materials and more specialized artifacts, and the inner-door workshop beneath the peak should have what he needed.
And he was prepared to begin this matter as soon as he returned to his cave, otherwise he wouldn’t feel at ease with this demonic spirit that called itself Silvermoon for one day if he didn’t accept it as an artifact spirit.
The trip to acquire materials went smoothly for Han Li, and after casually finding a raw materials store, he acquired everything. Because although these kinds of things were not common, they were not rare or precious. Therefore, no one asked Han Li about the purpose of buying these things.
Han Li took the materials and the white fox with him and flew towards the medicinal garden with satisfaction. However, when he flew above the medicinal garden, he realized that two people were standing there waiting for him outside of the medicinal garden’s prohibition.
One was Qui Huan, who was sighing with a saddened face, while the other was the gloomy-faced Senior Brother Wang.
Seeing this, Han Li secretly sighed. He naturally knew why the two were here, but on the surface, Han Li still pretended not to know as he landed not far in front of the two.
Upon seeing Han Li’s return, Senior Brother Wang and Qui Huan exchanged glances before revealing an embarrassed look on their faces.
”Fellow Daoist, how did you come back so quickly? Sold that Snow Cloud Fox?” Han Li took a few steps forward and asked with an unchanged expression.
”This …… few of our senior brothers and sisters, I’m afraid I can’t do right by Senior Brother Han.” Still, after hesitating for a moment, Senior Brother Wang said at Han Li with a bitter smile.
”Oh, what? Something happened to that Snow Cloud Fox.” Han Li molded his chin and asked words that made the opposite duo startled.
”Senior Brother Han, how did you know about this matter.” Qui Huan stared with wide eyes and asked in astonishment.
