CH 104.2

Long black hair and white shimmered under the moonlight.

The surroundings were hazy, as if the young man was a night elf that had fallen amid the morning light.

Although he was fair and slender, he wasn’t delicate. He had thin abs and a deep vest line.

Through his fair skin, you could see his small but firm and healthy biceps.

He could just lie down and tempt him.

Dijia opened his mouth and exhaled a thick white mist.

Bai Lixin: “…… roll.”

Dijia immediately shrank his head in an aggrieved manner and went next to Xian Gu.

The system prompt rang out.

[Ding! Warning, little fairies would not swear. The player is judged to have severely gone OOC and is punished with one yellow card as a warning.]

[Friendly reminder: three yellow cards means a red card. A red card will be followed by a system punishment: beheading. The player now has 1 out of 3 yellow card warnings.]

Bai Lixin: “……”

This pot, he really wants to curse.

Snowflakes drifted down and fell on Bai Lixin in the snow. They gradually gathered on his body and were warmed by Bai Lixin’s body heat, turning them into droplets of water that dotted his skin.

When the wind blew, the water droplets turn into vapor and took away some of the heat.

Bai Lixin was not afraid of the cold, and it was reasonable that his body would start falling.

As time passed, he silently closed his eyes and began to run through the vast amount of information from the beginning to the end.

The truth about the death of Lord Li had advanced to 85%. It was more so evident when the black and white fox appeared, the mission’s progress directly skyrocketed by 35%.

Many clues that had been covered up by lies were gradually unveiled, and all he had to do was poke those bubbles one by one.

However, he still had some doubts about the figure behind the ghost at the car that rainy night.

They don’t seem to have anything to do with everything, but at the same time, they seem a bit related.

Aside from that rainy night, there seemed to be no clues pointing to that figure.

Just as Bai Lixin was thinking, he felt the “creaking” sound of snow being stepped on, but why was this creaking sound so loud?

S419m’s voice came to his mind: [Lord host, the foxes have appeared, they are just a little ……]

Bai Lixin was silent for a few seconds: [Are you trying to tell me that the foxes are a little big?]

S419m: [Uh, why don’t you open your eyes and see?]

He could feel cold breaths on both sides of his body and above his head, and Bai Lixin slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him were four beasts with blurred bodies. Their bodies were wildly made, as if scribbled with crayons. They were long and a messy mixture of red, black, and white, manically tangled together, even their blood-red eyes looked messy.

Instead of saying they were beasts, it is more appropriate to call them evil spirits.

The four spirits that had lost their fox-shapes surrounded Bai Lixin. They opened their gigantic mouths, as if they would eat Bai Lixin at any second.

Xian Gu was so frightened that she wanted to rush over to help, but was stopped by Dijia’s glare.

Stop, don’t move.

Believe it or not, but I will kill you if you dare spoil Bai Lixin’s plan.

Xian Gu covered her mouth and looked at Dijia in horror.

Aren’t you a little heartless? Your wife is about to be eaten and you don’t even care?

Scum!

Dijia: “……”

You must be kidding. If Bai Lixin dared to fight, I’m afraid that those little beasts would be crushed in minutes.

You don’t know that he split an evil spirit boss with a dagger and cut a vampire with a scythe.

Bai Lixin’s task was to take these foxes out. If they go now and let these four foxes escape, Bai Lixin’s task will never be completed.

He ignored Xian Gu, who had labelled him a “scumbag”, and unblinkingly looked at the scene not far away.

Although he didn’t say anything, his teeth were secretly clenched, and his leather boots were cocked up with only the toes on the ground. All his muscles were tense and he was in an attack posture.

Not far away, Bai Lixin was looking at the four foxes gently. As he quietly watched them, they also scrutinized him.

While the fierce spirits were staring at each other, Bai Lixin suddenly caught a small sound.

The sound was as thin as a mosquito, and if one did not listen carefully, one might even mistake it for the sound of the wind blowing.

–– “Mother, it hurts.”

— “Who will help us?”

— “It hurts so much, I really want to get out of here and find Mother.”

— “Can you save us?”

The cries became heavier and heavier, and finally, it was like the noise at the marketplace as it kept crashing into Bai Lixin’s mind.

Bai Lixin looked into the blood-red pupils of these four beasts, and through that layer of heavy red, he seemed to see small foxes huddled in there.

Bai Lixin slowly raised his hand.

The four beasts immediately bowed their backs vigilantly and let out terrifying growls.

Bai Lixin raised his hand in the air and did not speak. When he had shown that he was not a threat, he looked at each of the fierce spirits and spoke slowly.

“Let me take you away.”

“I’ll take you guys.”

“We’ll go together to find your mother.”

The fierce spirits looked at Bai Lixin warily until one of them touched Bai Lixin’s fingertips with its nose.

Then, slowly, the other fierce spirits also came over.

After a few seconds, the edge of the fierce spirit’s circumference began to become soft, and their bodies began shrinking.

They shrank until they became four normal foxes.

The four fox cubs looked at each other and then slowly walked to Bai Lixin. One shrunk in Bai Lixin’s arms, trying to give him some warmth.

Bai Lixin picked them up and soothed them as he walked to Dijia and Xian Gu. Dijia quickly walked over and hastily put a cloak over Bai Lixin: “Are you really not cold?”

The foxes realized that there were other people and immediately bared their teeth and growled.

Bai Lixin quickly soothed them and raised a white lotus-like arm. Dijia’s sharp eyes immediately saw the marks on Bai Lixin’s wrist.

His eyes darkened and his voice was cold. “What is this? Did these little beasts do this to you? Why don’t I kill them?”

The fox cubs that were still growling immediately shivered and shrunk into small balls. They wrapped their heads with their huge tails and shrunk in Bai Lixin’s arms.

Bai Lixin: “It’s the contract I made with these fox cubs.”

“It’s okay, it’s harmless to me. I’ll take them to find their mother, and they will stay by my side to protect me. In addition, I can not hurt them.”

The killing intent emanating from Dijia’s body was put away, and his face showed irritation: “Let them walk by themselves. Why are you holding them? Don’t they have legs? Can’t they walk by themselves?”

Before Bai Lixin could speak, the four foxes immediately jumped from Bai Lixin’s arms. They shrank at Bai Lixin’s feet, and hid far away from Dijia.

Please spare us, we have already moved.

Dijia snorted in satisfaction.

Bai Lixin: “……”

What the heck? You even bully little foxes!

Xian Gu trembled as she followed them. She looked at Dijia, and then at Bai Lixin, and finally gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind about something. She tugged on Bai Lixin’s sleeve and dragged him to the side.

Xian Gu lowered her voice, “Lord Immortal, first harden your heart, just now ……”

Dijia coldly chortled from not far away.

Xian Gu shrank her neck, “Anyway, that’s ……”

She was about to say something when she suddenly paused and her face became ugly.

She took a deep sniff, her face suddenly changed and her pupils contracted, “Not good! Someone is burning the painting!”

“Run!”

Xian Gu’s words had just fallen when the blanket of white in the distance was now surrounded by a monstrous sea of fire.

The flame came ragingly, rolling furiously from afar. They moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were almost in their faces.

And the place where the flames burned, instead of turning into a piece of charcoal, turned into a pitch-black nothingness.

Bai Lixin quickly put on his jacket, picked up the four little foxes and rushed in the direction of the door.

The side of the mountain forest also began to be surrounded by flames.

Dijia took the fox cubs into his arms and ran while shouting: “Leave them to me, I’m strong! Run!”

The flames followed close behind the three.

The six soldiers were waiting in place. They had also noticed the abnormality. The smoke rolled around them and flames surrounded them from all sides at the speed of lightning.

The door was at their feet, and they could have just left, but they didn’t.

They had the dignity of their mission as soldiers. They had orders to guard the only door out of this place.

Even though they knew that their actions weren’t useful, they still surrounded the door to block the flames coming towards this side. Some raised the snow at their feet and threw it towards the flames, and some began to grasp the isolation barrier, trying to stop the spread of the flames as much as possible and get the governor some extra time.

Seeing that the flames were only a few meters away from them, one of the soldiers shouted, “Brothers, it’s too late. Let’s build a human wall.”

“This is the only way to provide time for the Lord Governor and the others!”

“Okay!” The soldiers looked at each other as if it was their last moment, held hands and stood as straight as steel plates.

They held hands and blocked the door with their small bodies.

The intense flames illuminated faces, and they were as bright as sparks.

“Good brothers!” One of the soldiers shouted, “You are all my good brothers. We don’t seek to be born on the same day and the same year, but we seek to die on the same day and the same year!”

“Hahaha, brothers, do you remember the oath we took when we first joined the army?!”

“Of course, I remember. How can I forget!”

“We shall be good brothers for the rest of our lives.”

The flames had rolled up to a few feet away. The blazing heat licked their faces, and the tongues of fire licked at their feet in seconds.

“Your dreams are in vain !”

Behind them came a roar and the soldiers turned back in surprise. “Lord Governor, you’re back!”

Behind Dijia’s group was the flaming infinite darkness following close by.

Dijia shouted, “What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and jump!”

The soldiers laughed and jumped through the door one by one.

A moment before the tongues of fire engulfed the door, Dijia’s group also jumped into the door smoothly.
