Happy and Little North rested for a while in the tavern before they set off again to Wuhu's Immortal Fox Village.
The closer they got to Wuhu, the more players they saw on the government-made road. They would either walk together in groups of three or five with weapons slung over their backs, or ride at full speed. Sometimes, they would even see people from sects dressed in the same uniform. They came and went in groups, and they looked incredibly domineering!
"Tsk tsk, this is what World of Martial Arts is like!"
Little North had been training in the mass grave and living a life isolated from the world. His emotions surged violently, and he would occasionally let out a myriad of sentiments.
Happy was not surprised by this, but the strange gazes occasionally thrown his way by the sides of the road made him feel slightly gloomy.
It was not very comfortable to have a zombie stuck close to his back, especially when he was on the government-made road with people moving to and fro. If he rode on his horse, he would appear too flamboyant and out of place, and he would even be a little terrifying.
Thud, thud, thud, thud …
All sorts of strange gazes and people pointing at them made them rush to Immortal Fox Village at the fastest speed possible.
Due to Fox Cave's gradually rising fame, more martial artists from all over the world gathered there. Before they even saw the village, the training spots on the government-made road nearby were already occupied by players. Almost the moment the wild beasts respawned, they were immediately cut to pieces by the shadows of weapons that they could not see clearly. Their fates were very tragic.
"We're here!"
As Little North cried out excitedly, two rows of tall wooden stakes appeared at the end of the government-made road ahead of them, as if they were signs of a respectful welcome. A flight of stairs made of flagstones led to a higher place.
He looked up slowly. There were around one hundred steps, and there was a sign hanging on a tall mountain gate — Immortal Fox Village!
However …
At that moment, the stairs to Immortal Fox Village were filled with people coming and going.
It was still daytime, and many people received all sorts of quests in Immortal Fox Village, such as chasing away the Rabid Dogs whose personalities had changed due to the interference from the demonic sounds outside Fox Cave, or the more difficult quests such as entering Fox Cave and killing the White Foxes to take revenge for the villagers of Immortal Fox Village!
The duo got down from their horses at the entrance of Immortal Fox Village.
Little North looked at the two long rows of wooden stakes at the foot of the stairs outside the door with great interest. In the end, he noticed that there was a dazzling Eight Trigrams Plate hanging at the top of each wooden stake. When the sun shone on them, it would occasionally shine with a piercing light. He could not help but be puzzled. "What are those things for?"
"To ward off evil!"
Before Happy could speak, a player with an unfamiliar face approached him quietly and answered Little North's question for Happy.
He cast that person a glance, smiled faintly, and looked away.
"You're quite early."
"Of course."
The person who came over rubbed his nose and said softly, "We're going up against Class One Hall. If we don't come over early to get a grasp of the situation, it's impossible for us to have any chance of winning." At that moment, Little North finally recognized him. Was this not the person with the extraordinary lightness skill who had caused him to be unable to do anything to him for a long time in the mass grave?
All-powerful Medicinal Stone?!
"Is there a more secluded place?"
Happy did not acknowledge All-powerful Medicinal Stone. Instead, he looked around warily and asked in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.
He pretended that he did not care and sped up to Immortal Fox Village.
"Follow me."
The two of them followed closely behind.
Immortal Fox Village was bustling with activity. There were players walking around in groups of three to five, and it was extremely crowded.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone moved very quickly. He squeezed into the crowd and approached a dilapidated house like a loach.
The attentive Happy noticed that when All-powerful Medicinal Stone squeezed into the crowd, his hands seemed to have disappeared for a period of time before they reached into the Universe Bags of two unfortunate people in the crowd.
It was a bad habit that could not be changed.
"…"
Happy sighed and followed All-powerful Medicinal Stone into the dilapidated house.
There was an apothecary in the house. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His hair was white, and he had a hunched back. He looked old and clumsy. He coughed nonstop, and the house was filled with the fragrance of medicine.
Occasionally, players would come in and buy some medicinal pills from the apothecary before they left. However, compared to the bustling ironworks and equipment shops in Immortal Fox Village, this place was very quiet.
"Just the two of you?"
When there were only three people left in the house, All-powerful Medicinal Stone cast a glance at Little North and his zombie puppets. "Where's the other helper you mentioned?"
"He'll be here soon."
Happy answered.
In truth, when he was not far away from Immortal Fox Village, he had already sent a messenger pigeon to Thunderous Battle. Thunderous Battle said that he had arrived a long time ago and was training outside. He would be here soon.
"Which of the sects under Class One Hall is here?"
Happy was not certain that everything in his current life would be the same as in his previous life.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone thought about it for a moment before he reported the information he had gathered over the past few days.
"Right now, we know that Fallen Feathers Sect's sect master is Situ Luoyu. He has a high-tier martial art at Grandmaster Realm, and he has more than fifty high-tier martial artists under him. Every night, these people rush to Fox Cave and attack it."
"Only fifty?"
Happy frowned.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone nodded.
"Situ Luoyu never allows those who don't have high-tier martial arts to join."
"Smart."
Happy sucked in a breath quietly.
After all, the attack speed of the fox monsters in Fox Cave was incredibly fast. Even high-tier martial arts were difficult to handle, much less low-tier martial arts. They were trash, and if they went in, they would just be marching to their deaths.
"What other sects are there?"
"Perpetual Joy Sect, Chivalry Sect, and a lot of other sects of various sizes that are not in the class. There are more than one hundred of them. Over the past few days, there have been a lot of people coming over. I heard that it's because the people from Perpetual Joy Sect obtained a key that can allow them to enter the third level. Once they go in, they can meet Yao Hua and his wife and get their divine vessels!"
All-powerful Medicinal Stone smiled coldly. "Once the news spread out, some of the sects in the nearby cities who had never come here before also sent a lot of people to their deaths. Today, we might have to squeeze into Fox Cave for a long time."
When Happy heard that, his heart tensed.
The key to the third level?
He had one of the keys with him! He had originally intended to use it to ignite the conflict between Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall once he entered the second level, but perhaps because he had not used it for a long time, the system had automatically refreshed him with a second key.
His plan had changed.
Happy frowned and thought about it for a while.
"We won't go to the third level. All-powerful Medicinal Stone, tell us about the situation in Fox Cave." It was not the time for them to get their hands on the third level of Fox Cave.
"Alright."
All-powerful Medicinal Stone knew that it was the first time Happy and Little North came to Immortal Fox Village. He nodded and immediately explained everything to them, from when Fox Cave was opened, the entrance, and what they would run into once they entered. He told them everything in great detail.
Happy only pretended to listen quietly, since he knew everything in the cave better than All-powerful Medicinal Stone.
Little North was incredibly excited.
It was especially so when he heard that once they entered Fox Cave, they would definitely run into a large group of fox monsters' attacks. Every night, countless people would definitely die in the cave, and only those with powerful body fortifications would be able to survive for a longer period of time. Little North was so excited that his eyes sparkled.
"Aside from the White Foxes dropping a high-tier martial art manual, Heaven's Illusory Claw, there is also a chance that they will drop a high-tier lightness skill manual, Fox Monster's Phantasm. Heaven's Illusory Claw is worth two hundred and fifty thousand, and Fox Monster's Phantasm is worth one and a half million. If you manage to get one, you'll be rich!"
