Lin Feng explained, "Big sister, I didn't bring a hair tie. I gave you pantyhose thinking you could tie your hair like He Yuning. What were you thinking?"
"Ah? Then I don't need it, I have a hair tie myself."
Realizing she had misunderstood Lin Feng, Qingniao felt a slight embarrassment. She took a hair tie from her pocket and tied her long hair into a ponytail.
Once ready, Ji Boxiao and the other two began walking towards the deep mountains.
Lin Feng and Qingniao followed behind and noticed that this mountain was different from normal mountains.
Normal mountains were just dense forests.
But this mountain, besides the forest, had scattered piles of bones everywhere.
The bones were the remains of animals after being completely gnawed, but they were all small animals.
"It should be the foxes. Foxes specialize in hunting small animals like rabbits. Most of these remains are from rabbits and squirrels."
Qingniao looked at the remains on the ground and some fox fur stuck to the grass, confirming that there were quite a few foxes in this mountain.
"Where there are foxes, there must be a great tomb."
"I grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, so I know foxes quite well."
"These fellows like to burrow into coffins. My master said that when foxes burrow into coffins, they absorb the remaining vital essence from the dead to refine elixirs."
"It seems this mountain is not that simple."
Lin Feng faintly smelled a trace of unknown danger.
"Yes, we'll play it by ear. Especially you, don't show off your abilities again."
Qingniao knew that Lin Feng had Ying Tianqing backing him and was fearless, so she specifically warned him.
"Understood, we'll just watch their performance and do nothing."
Lin Feng smiled and quietly followed behind He Yuqing and the others, saying no more.
Finally, after walking for over an hour, the forest ahead began to widen.
What came into view was a raised stone mountain.
The stone mountain was not very high, but the entire mountain was filled with holes of various sizes.
From a distance, many foxes could be seen entering and exiting the stone mountain. It seemed this mountain was the den of this group of foxes.
"Yuning, this is it!"
Ji Boxiao held something resembling a compass and, after examining it carefully, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Mm, prepare for battle."
He Yuning's beautiful eyes flashed with determination, and she was the first to walk towards the stone mountain.
Ji Boxiao and He Yuqing followed closely. He Yuqing did not forget to turn back and remind Lin Feng, "Little Fengzi, it will be very dangerous later, follow Ben Qingqing and don't wander off. Ben Qingqing will protect you."
"Okay, then I'll rely on your protection."
Lin Feng smiled, very curious about where He Yuqing's confidence came from.
Soon, as the group approached the stone mountain, the foxes on the stone mountain sensed the outsiders and were all disturbed, burrowing into their holes one after another.
Seeing this, Ji Boxiao flipped his palm, and a palm lightning shot out from his palm, blasting open a hole in the stone mountain.
As the explosion sounded, the entire stone mountain emitted a thick black aura.
"Let's go, attack!"
He Yuning's expression tensed, and she transformed into an afterimage, swiftly heading towards the cave entrance.
He Yuqing and Ji Boxiao immediately followed, moving as lightly as swallows.
Lin Feng and Qingniao, seeing the three display extraordinary abilities, were slightly astonished while also becoming more convinced of the exceptional nature of the He family's beautiful sisters.
"Let's go too. Your strength is low, stay by my side, and I'll protect you."
Lin Feng smiled, grabbed Qingniao's small hand, and used his "Flying Pig Speed" to follow them in.
Qingniao felt very aggrieved. Why was her strength considered low?
She was, after all, a phoenix reincarnation, just not yet fully in control of her divine soul's abilities.
If she were to completely merge with her divine soul, she would also be very powerful.
At this moment, after He Yuning entered the cave, thick demonic energy surged out from within.
Streams of blood-red afterimages, like sharp blades, swept towards He Yuning.
Facing such an attack, He Yuning appeared very calm. She lightly waved her fair hand, and a cold energy froze the water vapor in the air, turning it into ice crystals the size of pebbles.
The ice crystals, under He Yuning's control, shot out like bullets.
Accompanying this were cries of agony from the foxes.
It turned out these blood-red afterimages were caused by foxes brandishing their sharp claws.
After being hit by the ice crystals released by He Yuning, the cave was instantly filled with fox corpses.
He Yuning cleared the path ahead. As they went deeper, more terrifying attacks appeared.
Ahead, several monsters with fox heads and human bodies blocked He Yuning's path.
"Yuning, leave this to me!"
Ji Boxiao stepped forward voluntarily, killing his way to the monsters in a dash.
The monsters were not to be trifled with either. They picked up bone knives and engaged Ji Boxiao in close combat.
Facing the combined attacks of several monsters, Ji Boxiao was not flustered at all. He hit them one by one, his fists like cannonballs, and in a few blows, he sent several monsters flying.
Taking advantage of the monsters falling to the ground, Ji Boxiao raised his fists and charged, smashing their heads repeatedly.
"As expected of an idiot. If you want to kill them, kill them. Why do you keep torturing them?"
Lin Feng found it amusing. Ji Boxiao seemed psychologically twisted, always tormenting people at the slightest provocation.
"That's right, you big sycophant, don't waste time. Just knock them unconscious."
He Yuqing also sarcastically mocked him, finding his behavior annoying.
Being satirized by Lin Feng and He Yuqing in unison, Ji Boxiao realized his actions were wasting time. After smashing the heads of a few more monsters, he led the way forward.
"What a pervert. They said just knock them out, why did you kill them?"
"More importantly, even if you kill them, you're making a mess of blood everywhere. Don't you find it disgusting?"
He Yuqing couldn't bear to watch.
"Little Yuqing, what Boxiao said is right. These are fox demons, they don't deserve sympathy," Ji Boxiao explained, feeling a bit put out.
"Fox demons also have good and evil. Don't be like my sister, always killing indiscriminately. This is killing, it will..."
He Yuqing was about to say that she would face heavenly retribution, but she was startled back by He Yuning's stern gaze.
"Boxiao is right, these fox demons don't deserve sympathy. If we don't kill them, they will kill us."
"You're still young. When you've experienced more, you'll naturally understand."
He Yuning, like an emotionless female assassin, admonished her sister He Yuqing earnestly.
"Miss Yuning, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean if you don't kill them, they'll kill you?"
"It seems you're the ones who barged into their territory first. If you hadn't provoked them, why would they attack you? This is contradictory."
Lin Feng disagreed with He Yuning's way of thinking.
"If you don't like it, then don't listen. You have no right to speak here!"
He Yuning's beautiful eyes were like knives, fiercely piercing Lin Feng.
"Fine, I won't say anything. You guys continue. With your style of killing, you'll be repaid sooner or later."
Lin Feng was not going to indulge He Yuning. He hated women like He Yuning who were arrogant and looked down on everyone.
She thought she was so superior, but in reality, she was just a bitch.
"Kid, why are you talking so much? Even if we are repaid, it has nothing to do with you. If you can't stand it, then get out!"
Ji Boxiao, the sycophant, immediately went into protective mode, angrily retorting to Lin Feng.
As soon as Ji Boxiao finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent swept over them.
"Be careful!"
He Yuning hurriedly warned Ji Boxiao.
But it was still too late. A black shadow, like a whirlwind, before Ji Boxiao could react, kicked him flying.
Ji Boxiao flew towards Lin Feng like a cannonball.
Seeing that he was about to hit him, Lin Feng sidestepped and dodged immediately, causing Ji Boxiao to smash heavily against the stone wall behind Lin Feng.
"Kid, why didn't you catch me? It hurts!"
Ji Boxiao, in great pain from the fall, glared resentfully at Lin Feng.
"Why should I catch you? Am I your father!"
Lin Feng chuckled good-naturedly.
"You bastard!"
Ji Boxiao was furious and about to lash out, but the black shadow didn't give him a chance. It flickered and attacked him again.
