Chapter 481: Chapter 7 Someone is Targeting My Fox Again Chapter 481: Chapter 7 Someone is Targeting My Fox Again After some time, the group finally cleared up their exploration of the vicinity.
This place should be the periphery of the ruins, with vast forests and meadows.
And surrounded by the forests and meadows in the center were continuous mountains.
The mountains were enveloped in thick fog, the closer one got, the heavier the resistance felt.
Long Long, at the Transformation Rank, could penetrate deeper than anyone else, but still could not enter the mountains-obviously, his cultivation realm surpassed the others, yet he still hadn’t reached the threshold to enter the mountain range.
The ancestors of various clans at the Immortal Rank, along with a fragment of the Kunlun Mirror, were deep within that mountain range, at the center of the ruins.
Although Ah Jing seemed a bit capricious, considering everyone’s current cultivation level, thinking about how to get into the mountain range was completely unrealistic.
Therefore, Long Long simply led the group, looking for any possible locations of the ruins on the outskirts of the mountains.
According to the seniors, the ancient Xuanwu Clan, which includes the Xuan Gui and Jiao Serpent people, had been stationed here for at least two thousand years, conducting long-term research on some kind of grand Dao within the ruins.
Hence, the Demon Race was killing two birds with one stone.
On one hand, the Immortal Rank elders entered the interior of the ruins, directly studying the so-called grand Dao;
On the other hand, they had the younger generation search the exterior of the ruins for any manuscripts concerning the grand Dao that the ancient Xuanwu Clan might have left behind.
Considering the preciousness of these manuscripts and the Illusion Domains that regularly appeared outside, those chosen to participate in the ruin search were without exception the young, outstanding, and reliable forces trusted by the elders within their clans.
Of course, precisely because they were entrusted with great hope and pressure from within their clan, these juniors from different Demon Races certainly had no trust in each other whatsoever.

During the search, Long Long was always highly vigilant, trying to avoid meeting the teams from other Demon Races-as encounters were basically either hostile or unfriendly.
“Long Long,” within the forest, Long Hu suddenly said cautiously, “There’s a team following us.”
“Are you sure?” Gui Ling’er asked with a frown, “How did you discover them?”
This question was a bit much since every clan’s cultivators had their own secret techniques and divine skills; who would just straightforwardly go up and ask like that?
Long Hu simply perfunctorily replied with “sense of smell,” then looked toward Long Long.
Long Long quickly contemplated.
Based on the information Long Hu received from Hu Li, before entering the Divine Dragon Island ruins, the clans had collectively set a rule to “avoid competition where there is a large disparity in cultivation levels.”
After all, if you send an untransformed low-level demon, and I send a demon cultivator at the Transformation Realm undergoing Core Formation, then in order to beat me, you’ll have to send a high-rank demon king from the Dong Yuan Realm…
If this escalation continues, it would surely end with high-rank cultivators from various clans killing each other.
Therefore, when selecting juniors, the clans agreed to unify the selection criteria to the “Untransformed” rank.
Of course, even with rules in place to avoid unfair competition, there were still families who resorted to playing tricks, like “Oh dear, I really did choose an untransformed heir at first, but who would have thought that they would suddenly undergo Transformation and Tribulation these few days, we were caught off guard as well.”
Since it was indeed impossible to avoid sudden Transformation and Tribulation occurrences, and it was impossible to change contenders at a moment’s notice, everyone could only reluctantly accept it.
After being outwitted once, the clans subsequently became a bit more shrewd, deliberately selecting cultivators on the verge of undergoing Transformation and Tribulation-thus, the so-called “internal competitive environment” emerged.
With this intelligence, it could be inferred that the team pursuing us might consist entirely of untransformed little demons or could be led by a cultivator at the Transformation Rank along with other little demons.
Considering that the opposing side dared to directly trail them, the latter was very likely.
“Shake them off,” Long Long decided.
“Speed up, go!”
Everyone immediately showcased their divine skills.
Qin Zhou and Qin Ye used the Dragon Clan magic “Riding Mist and Ascending Clouds,” which surrounded them in a faint mist, allowing the two to fly through the air and navigate freely through the forest.
Long Hu also executed the Fox Clan’s step technique “Divine Travel Hundred Miles,” increasing her leaping speed in complex terrain by almost three times, even faster than Qin Zhou and Qin Ye.
???G?.??
Gui Ling’er hesitated for a moment, then decisively jumped onto Long Long’s back, hugging him tightly from behind, and instantly leaped to the front of the group.
“What are you doing!” Long Hu burst out in anger, her speed surging by many times as she rushed behind Long Long trying to drag Gui Ling’er down.
“I don’t have any secret techniques for speeding up!” Gui Ling’er called out helplessly, “We Xuanwu never consider speeding up!”
“That’s true,” Qin Zhou explained on the side.
“The secret techniques of the Xuanwu clan are mostly defensive, with offense second, and hardly any speed-related divine skills.”
“But that doesn’t mean you can ride on his back!” The little fox gritted her teeth in anger.
“I’ll carry you!
Is it all right if I do it?”
“No!” Gui Ling’er flatly refused.
“If it’s you, you’ll definitely find a place to dump me!”
Facing this stubborn and foolish little turtle, Long Hu was also infuriated to death but could only pounce onto Long Long’s back as well, striving to squeeze Gui Ling’er off.
The Qin siblings followed behind, looking at Long Long charging ahead with two girls clinging to him, and gave each other a look of astonishment.
“Sister, why don’t you try going up too?” Qin Zhou, ever the instigator, said while watching the commotion.
“How am I supposed to get up there?” Qin Ye rolled her eyes.
“Sit on top of his head?”
Although Long Long had transformed, the pursuing cultivators’ cultivation realms were also strong, and with two burdens on his back struggling and squabbling, they still hadn’t managed to shake off their pursuers after about two quarters of an hour.
“Forget it, change strategy,” Long Long sighed.
“Let’s turn around and face the enemy.”
Gui Ling’er and Long Hu then jumped down from his back, glaring at each other furiously.
“When the pursuers arrive, I’ll take the lead and entangle the Transformation Rank cultivator.
You all deal with the rest,” Long Long instructed carefully.
“Gui Ling’er, your clan excels at defense, so you will take on the task of charging at the forefront.”
“Qin Zhou and Qin Ye, you will cover Gui Ling’er from the left and right flanks.”
“Long Hu, you stay at the back and use the Celestial Fox Illusion Technique to disrupt the enemy.
Be careful not to interfere with my fight against the Transformation Rank cultivator.”
Everyone of course understood the stakes and agreed in unison.
Soon, the pursuers burst out from within the forest.
Before entering the ruins, Long Long, along with Gui Ling’er, Qin Zhou, and Qin Ye, had memorized the appearances and information of all the individuals present.
At this moment, he immediately recognized the leader of the group, originating from the Leopard Clan of West State, known as “Bao Yi Nu.” It was said that he had an extremely savage and murderous nature, his ill-repute widely feared among the other clans of West State.
Bao Yi Nu led the little demons out of the forest.
His narrow eyes flicked around for a bit, but he didn’t rush to attack.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on Long Hu at the back, squeezing out a flattering smile, and said:
“Your Highness, I come bearing orders from the White Tiger Clan to escort Your Highness back to West State.”
Long Hu was expressionless, Long Long sneered continuously, Gui Ling’er looked somewhat confused, and Qin Zhou and Qin Ye’s faces underwent a drastic change.
The wicked Leopard Clan was pursuing us and their target was Long Hu?
