193: How can you say such scary words in such a calm tone?
In a large open area on the outskirts of Wing City, Jin Meiting looked somewhat disheveled at the moment, with several wounds on her body.
The reason was that around her, seven or eight Yao Beasts surrounded her, glaring at her menacingly.
The ground was pitted and uneven, with many scorched and damaged areas, and there were also three or four monster corpses lying around—these were pets from the City and creatures that had emerged from the forest.
However, all of them had now been taken down by Jin Meiting!
Jin Meiting spat out a mouthful of blood, gasping for breath.
Just a moment ago, she was fighting three of the Yao Beasts and was about to kill them when, from who knows where, five more Yao Beasts suddenly appeared, all of them having reached the Mid Stage Realm.
This instantly disrupted her combat rhythm, leading to her being besieged by these Yao Beasts and suffering several minor injuries.
Looking at the surrounding Yao Beasts at this moment, she really couldn't understand why this situation had occurred; these Yao Beasts seemed to be organized.
They had traveled a long distance, not bothering to harass the City, and even the mutated pets in the City hadn't caused much destruction within the City; they had all come straight for her!
Because she had been fighting continuously, she hadn't thought about these matters, but now that she had stopped, a little thought made her realize something was very wrong.
This was simply not something ordinary Yao Beasts could do.
In Jin Meiting's understanding of Yao Beasts, or rather, in the understanding of all Special Affairs Handling Bureau members, these Yao Beasts were basically violent and extremely ferocious creatures.
Even if they saw each other, they would likely start fighting immediately; it was impossible for them to unite like this, and be so organized—that was truly absurd!
Jin Meiting knew that facing these Yao Beasts, she alone definitely couldn't handle them.
Her own Realm was only Mid Stage, and now facing so many Yao Beasts, she was simply outnumbered!
Taking advantage of this lull, Jin Meiting notified other members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau about her situation, asking the closest members to come and support her quickly.
If she still had to face these guys alone, she might very well meet her end here this time!
However, just as Jin Meiting was still wondering what was going on with these Yao Beasts, they suddenly went berserk, all charging towards Jin Meiting, and the two sides began fighting again.
Jin Meiting had been granted the Law of Fire by the Fire God, and flames erupted all over her body, radiating intense heat, as her entire being seemed to transform into a streak of fire, rapidly moving through these Yao Beasts…
The collision of flames and claws produced piercing explosions, and even the air seemed to ripple from the blast.
Jin Meiting's flames could injure these Yao Beasts, and it was clear that these Yao Beasts knew this, so they mostly avoided her flame attacks.
Then, they would ambush her when she was unprepared.
Jin Meiting didn't know that in a distant corner, a fox was currently hiding in a completely inconspicuous spot, observing the battle before it.
At the same time, its paws occasionally twitched slightly, and each time its paws twitched, a Yao Beast on the battlefield would attack Jin Meiting.
Clearly, these Yao Beasts were being controlled by this fox, and to deal with Jin Meiting and then dominate this area in the future, this fox had even brought in Yao Beasts from other places to finally assemble the current lineup.
However, just as it was excitedly controlling them, thinking that this area was about to become its territory, it suddenly felt its nape being pinched.
The fox immediately froze, and after realizing what was happening, it began to struggle forcefully, but it was useless.
At this moment, the fox was truly panicked; it had clearly hidden itself, and even its aura was extremely well concealed—how did this guy find it?
Li Mu sat on a broken concrete slab, looking at the small fox he was holding, and chuckled, teasing, "Its fur color is quite good; it should sell for a lot if peeled off…"
The captured small fox, upon hearing this, instantly shivered violently, its large, innocent eyes wide as it stared at Li Mu.
In its eyes, Li Mu's smile at this moment was simply the smile of a devil!
How could there be such a terrifying human in the world, and how could he say such frightening words to a fox in such a calm tone?!
At this, the small fox struggled even more fiercely.
No! It had to escape, or its little life would be over…
… … … …
Meanwhile, on the distant battlefield, without the small fox's control, these Yao Beasts instantly fell into chaos, all beginning to fight amongst themselves.
This sudden scene completely bewildered Jin Meiting.
So she quickly retreated from the battlefield, watching the chaotic Yao Beasts, momentarily unable to understand what was going on—why had the previously organized and disciplined Yao Beasts suddenly become like this?
The sounds of fighting were very intense, and Li Mu naturally heard them.
He then looked up at the area where the Yao Beasts were fighting, then withdrew his gaze to look at the fox in his hand.
This small fox seemed to still be trying every possible way to escape, for example, biting Li Mu's hand, wanting to make Li Mu feel pain and let go.
But who knew, when it bit down, it almost broke its own teeth!
It suspected its fox life…
It looked at Li Mu's fair, tender hand with confusion, even forgetting to struggle.
It lightly poked Li Mu's hand with its paw; it was soft, no different from its own flesh.
But why was it so hard when it bit it?
Li Mu smiled, "Alright, I won't play with you for now; I'll come find you after I've dealt with things here."
After speaking, Li Mu directly opened the passage to the Cave Heaven Small World and threw the fox inside.
The scope of the Cave Heaven Small World, after Li Mu's modifications, had expanded considerably, and many of the animals inside would likely turn into Yao Beasts after this incident.
It wouldn't be lonely once it entered the Dao…
… … … …
Jin Meiting still hadn't figured out what was going on at this moment, looking at the Yao Beasts fighting so fiercely that they were practically tearing each other apart, lost in thought.
Should she just watch and wait until these Yao Beasts were all mutually wounded, then go in herself to claim the kills?
Just as she was still pondering this, a faint voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "Do you need help?"
The voice was very soft and magnetic!
However, it startled Jin Meiting, and she sharply turned to look in the direction the voice had come from.
Only to find that at some unknown point, a man had appeared in the spot where there had been nothing beside her moments ago…
