63: Two-tailed wind fox, soul-nourishing fruit (fourth update)

He hadn't gone far.

A small, greenish-furred fox with two tails appeared before him.

【Two-Tailed Wind Fox Lv21: A small fox with two tails, caution ensures no regrets.】

Seeing the new monster's information, Liu Yang abandoned his plan to turn off the Second Kill skill.

He trusted the system's information prompts implicitly.

Testing weapons could be done anytime; there was no need to take risks.

Liu Yang got out of the flying car and put it away.

With an Ice Arrow held in his left hand, ready but not released, and his wind-thunder spiritual sword held horizontally across his chest in his right, he cautiously approached the target.

Whoosh!

Upon entering range, Liu Yang decisively attacked, and the Ice Arrow flew straight towards the Two-Tailed Wind Fox.

Swoosh!

Blue light erupted, and the Ice Arrow shattered.

The Ice Arrow had only flown halfway when the Two-Tailed Wind Fox flicked its left tail, and a blue light flew out, colliding with the Ice Arrow, both disappearing.

Yelp! Yelp!

A fox's cry arose.

The Two-Tailed Wind Fox glared at Liu Yang.

Before Liu Yang could react, he saw its right tail move again.

Instantly, his mind became disoriented.

Just then, the Two-Tailed Wind Fox's left tail moved once more.

Liu Yang felt a great sense of foreboding and immediately dove to the side.

Swoosh!

A blue light streaked past where Liu Yang had been standing, flying into the distance.

Bang!

The blue light sliced through a tree trunk, and the barrel-thick tree snapped in response.

Liu Yang regained his senses.

He watched the scene behind him, cold sweat continuously dripping down.

If he had been a step slower, it would have definitely been a clean cut, with his head separated from his body.

Escape!

Liu Yang summoned his flying car, quickly started it, floored the accelerator, and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Gasp! Gasp!

Having escaped with his life, Liu Yang gasped for air.

Touching his chest, his heart was still pounding incessantly.

"This fox plays dirty. High attack, fast attack speed, and it even has a stun skill."

"No, I have to fight back."

So, Liu Yang called up the game interface and entered the status page.

He clicked furiously, adding 20 points to his spiritual attribute.

Including his professional growth aptitude, that was 40 points.

Finally.

Liu Yang's remaining free attribute points were 20.

And his spiritual attribute instantly soared to 70.

He had originally thought 10 points would be more than enough.

But thinking of the unpredictability of spiritual attacks, he added more for safety.

Feeling a surge of clarity in his mind, with all his senses heightened, Liu Yang's confidence returned.

Therefore, strength is the foundation of everything!

Subsequently, Liu Yang drove his car, gripping his sword, and flew proudly towards the Two-Tailed Wind Fox.

"Ah! How great would it be to have a driver?"

"Then I could stand on the car and unleash insane damage, comfortably acting as a mobile turret."

At this thought, the figures of the Guan Family Three Sisters appeared in Liu Yang's mind.

If they were still here, someone would cook, someone would wash dishes, and there would be a useless person who would cheer him on.

As for now... it was just a thought.

The world is vast; who knows when they will meet again.

Perhaps they are separated forever.

As he approached the target, Liu Yang cast aside distracting thoughts and focused intensely.

Although his spiritual energy had greatly increased, he no longer feared the Two-Tailed Wind Fox's stun skill.

But its wind blades should not be underestimated.

With his current defense, he wasn't confident in withstanding them.

Getting out of the car and putting it away, all in one smooth motion.

Liu Yang charged towards the Two-Tailed Wind Fox.

As he charged, an Ice Arrow had already been shot out ahead of him.

Sure enough.

Upon seeing Liu Yang's Ice Arrow attack, the Two-Tailed Wind Fox reacted as it had before.

First, a wind blade was sent towards the Ice Arrow, followed immediately by a stun attack aimed at Liu Yang.

Then another wind blade was launched, its target precisely Liu Yang.

"A beast is a beast; it doesn't know how to adapt at all."

He disdained it in his heart, but his attitude dared not relax in the slightest.

Facing the incoming wind blade, Liu Yang dodged sideways, instantly avoiding it.

The Two-Tailed Wind Fox was momentarily stunned, unable to understand why its previously effective stun skill had failed.

However, Liu Yang didn't wait for its reaction; he waved his hand and launched another Ice Arrow Technique, then rapidly closed the distance.

Liu Yang didn't expect the Ice Arrow Technique to be effective; his purpose was merely to harass.

Against a mage, close combat is the best option.

Moreover, with the attack speed bonus from the wind-thunder spiritual sword, his attack speed was so fast that he didn't believe the Two-Tailed Wind Fox could still safely cast skills.

Things unfolded exactly as Liu Yang had predicted; seeing Liu Yang gradually approaching, the Two-Tailed Wind Fox immediately retreated.

And this was precisely what Liu Yang wanted.

The Two-Tailed Wind Fox's attack stopped, removing Liu Yang's concerns, and his speed increased again.

Swish!

Catching up to the Two-Tailed Wind Fox, Liu Yang thrust his sword.

The Two-Tailed Wind Fox sensed the attack from behind and leaped sideways, dodging it.

But how could its hasty movements escape Liu Yang's pursuit?

Liu Yang strode forward in pursuit, then swept his sword horizontally.

The Two-Tailed Wind Fox was greatly alarmed, instantly bristling, even its tails stiffening and standing upright.

One who brings disaster upon himself cannot live.

The attack, which would have originally been out of reach, suddenly grazed the tip of its tail.

【You sliced off the Two-Tailed Wind Fox's tail tip with one sword strike. The Second Kill skill was triggered, and the Two-Tailed Wind Fox died.】

【Congratulations on killing the Two-Tailed Wind Fox. You have gained 4 auspicious grass, 3 soul nourishing fruit, 2 gold block, and 2 Spiritual Energy.】

"Phew!" Liu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, letting out a long breath, "Finally killed it, that was exhausting as hell."

"I used Ice Arrow Technique so many times, plus the consumption of the Second Kill skill, this energy value is enough to kill several Stone Armor Explosive Apes."

"But a new item dropped. I hope it's good stuff, so I don't lose too much."

At this thought, Liu Yang took out the soul nourishing fruit.

【soul nourishing fruit: Although it is the lowest grade of spiritual fruit, it is very rare, because each fruit consumed can increase 1 spiritual point. (Maximum of 10 fruits, exceeding this is ineffective)】

"This is good, this is good!"

Seeing the attributes of the soul nourishing fruit clearly, Liu Yang cheered excitedly.

Then he grabbed three fruits, shoved them into his mouth, and swallowed them directly without chewing.

"Smack, smack!" Liu Yang smacked his lips and sighed, "What the heck, it has no taste at all!"

soul nourishing fruit: "If you want to know the taste, why don't you chew, damn it."

【You consumed 3 soul nourishing fruit, spiritual +3.】

The soul nourishing fruit was swallowed and took effect immediately.

Waves of cool sensation spread from his abdomen to his brain, an indescribably refreshing feeling.

That feeling was comparable to that shiver during a certain activity.

"Awesome!"

Liu Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

"It seems killing monsters is like buying things; expensive things have their reasons."

So Liu Yang drove around to investigate, wanting to see if there were any other Two-Tailed Wind Foxes.

The result was disappointing for Liu Yang; he did not see a second Two-Tailed Wind Fox.

"What I get is my fortune, what I lose is my fate."

"Since there isn't any, then so be it."

Liu Yang didn't dwell on it too much, then walked towards the red dot in the distance.

As he approached the red dot, the scene before him felt familiar.

In the center of the distant grassy forest, a strange deer-like creature stood motionless.

Around it, vines stood upright, writhing like a thousand dancing snakes.

And those vine-like tentacles were coiling around a rabbit, bringing it to the deer's mouth.

Liu Yang was stunned; this was the second time he had seen an Earth Palace Creature hunt another Earth Palace Creature.

The first time was the Soul-Devouring Giant Octopus (Guardian of the Initial Dungeon),

The second time was now!
