Chapter 383: The Injured Cloud Flame Fox
At this moment, Bai Xiaoluo suddenly stopped and said, “Wait, there’s the aura of the Cloud Flame Fox.”
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Bai Xiaoluo, who had the White Moon Leopard martial soul, had very sharp senses.
This perception was unrelated to mental strength. It completely captured the aura.
“Cloud Flame Fox, a type of ancient soul beast that specializes in fire. I heard that it has a gentle nature and is obedient and cute?”
Wang Ka was puzzled, “However, its combat strength is average. Its only advantage is its long lifespan.”
“That’s roughly right.” Bai Xiaoluo pondered and said, “I don’t know the actual situation either. This is also my second time coming to the Myriad Beast Mountain. Moreover, there’s a bloody smell. There should have been a battle.”
A moment later, the five of them moved for a kilometer and saw a Cloud Flame Fox lying on the ground under an ancient tree.
It was about 2.5 meters tall and had fiery red fur. There was a flame-like mark between its brows and a wound on its leg that had been cut by a sharp blade. Blood flowed profusely.
“The sharp blade of that wound was not cut by a sharp weapon. It seems to have been cut by sharp claws.” Shen Mingluan frowned and said, “The wound doesn’t have the aura of soul power. It should have been injured from fighting with its companions. It could also have been defeated by another team.”
…
“However, if it was defeated by another team, it should be healed.”
“It shouldn’t have been defeated by other teams,” Bai Xiaoluo said. “It doesn’t have the aura of a human. If it fought with a team, there was no human blood nearby.”
“Then it’s fighting with other ancient soul beasts?” Wang Ka nodded, “I have healing abilities. Although it’s not strong, I can still heal it. There’s no need for potions. It’s too wasteful. We don’t have many supplies.”
“What do you think?”
The few of them nodded.
“What if it faked it?” Wang Che asked.
“You mean it’s pretending?” The few of them were stunned and did not think of this.
“Why would it be pretending?” Ludi was puzzled, “There’s no enmity… Eh, wait.”
It seemed to have thought of something.
“This is the Myriad Beast Mountain. Aren’t the ancient soul beasts inside trying to test us?” Bai Xiaoluo thought of something, “You mean that this Cloud Flame Fox is doing this on purpose to attack us and teach us a lesson when we heal it?”
“I heard that the Cloud Flame Fox is a rather gentle soul beast…” Wang Ka hesitated.
“Where did you hear that from?” Wang Che asked.
“Some students who participated in the Myriad Beast Mountain left messages online. They gave me the information,” Wang Ka said.
“What if that information is fake?” Wang Che continued to ask, “Or rather, have you encountered the Cloud Flame Fox or come into contact with it?”
They shook their heads.
“That’s right.” Wang Che nodded, “Firstly, we actually don’t know the abilities of our team’s Cloud Flame Foxes. Even if the information on the Internet is bought with money, it doesn’t have to have absolute credibility. Secondly, there are many ways for ancient soul beasts to attack us humans in the Myriad Beast Mountain. They might not be direct.”
“If this Cloud Flame Fox is pretending, if you go and treat it, it can instantly beat you, a Skill Soul Master. If our team lacks combat strength, the possibility of being wiped out by it is very high.”
“Then, if we plan again, we can set up traps nearby or ambush a few other ancient soul beasts.”
“On the precondition that we lose combat strength, if we charge forward, it will be even easier to eliminate the entire team.”
“Moreover, even if it’s not pretending, the injuries are real. What if it’s bait? The ancient soul beast that defeated it would run out to attack us while we’re treating it?”
“What if the injuries on its body contain some poison? What if we accidentally trigger it after approaching?”
Wang Che continued, “In any case, it’s really as the information on the Internet says. It has a gentle nature and there’s no ancient soul beast nearby. If we save it, can you sense its soul power cultivation? How strong is it?”
Everyone: “…”
Cloud Flame Fox: “…”
“This…”
Everyone felt their scalps tingle when they heard Wang Che’s words.
How could he think so much?
What poison and bait was he talking about?
“This is the Myriad Beast Mountain. I took a look and the elimination rate is very high,” Wang Che said. “In the past years, more than 70% of the teams came out without even staying for an afternoon. Not to mention the strength of the ancient soul beasts, most of them are very strong. Many teams could not withstand it if they rushed over directly. Moreover, they have lived for so long. If they use any more methods, won’t defeating us university students who don’t have much experience be as simple as eating and drinking?”
Everyone felt that it made sense.
However, it felt a little strange.
University students without much experience…
“Then what should we do?” Shen Mingluan asked.
“We won’t get close, but we still have to save it.” Wang Che smiled and said, “If there’s a problem with it, it won’t stop us. If there’s no problem, treat it as a fortuitous encounter. It’s even better if it returns the favor. If not, it won’t be a loss to us.”
“How can we save it?”
Wang Che looked around and used five minutes to pluck a few special medicinal herbs.
“This is the Fragrant Leaf Grass, the Spirit Healing Flower, and some other medicinal herbs. They’re all low-level soul plants. You can just use these to make some medicine. Senior Shen should be very good at this.”
“When did you discover them?” Shen Mingluan vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Wang Che.
Their path was overgrown with weeds. There were countless soul plants that were densely packed, but most of them were low-level soul plants or ordinary medicinal herbs.
Along the way, most of them were vigilant of the appearance of ancient soul beasts.
Even Shen Mingluan rarely paid attention to the surrounding soul plants and did not have the mood to distinguish them.
“I took a simple look,” Wang Che said. “Hmm, that’s not important. Let’s resolve the matter first.”
Actually, when encountering such a thing, the normal way was to avoid it, but the opportunity would leave you too.
Therefore, sometimes, if one did not care, they would miss it. If you cared, it would either become good luck or bad luck.
Wang Che actually did not want to care because he still had the Curse of Misfortune on him. This meant that the probability of encountering something bad had greatly increased.
In Wang Che’s experience, there was a 60% chance that this Cloud Flame Fox was faking it. There was a 30% chance that it was real and a 10% chance that it was a true opportunity.
Wang Che had encountered at least thousands of such encounters in his previous life.
He could guess most of the details of the Cloud Flame Fox’s injured posture at a glance.
Shen Mingluan did not ask further. She looked at Wang Che’s herbs and weighed them in her heart. She immediately used her martial soul.
Her Nether Pool martial soul was very powerful. With a light control, the water in the Nether Pool wrapped around the herbs and spun at high speed like a tornado. Then, it quickly fused a few herbs and brewed them before storing them in a bottle.
