Lin Feng looked at the two white foxes in surprise, then looked around and found that he was in a stone cave on the stone wall. This stone cave was exactly the white fox's nest that Lin Feng had been looking for.
Perhaps because they were worried about him, one of the white foxes was wrapping its big tail around him, making Lin Feng feel like he was being held hostage. However, being held hostage was much better than being silenced. If he could negotiate the conditions, he might be released, and there was still hope for his survival.
Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, another white fox immediately used its tail to roll a pill for Lin Feng to take. Lin Feng knew that the two white foxes were afraid that the owner of the footsteps outside would notice their hiding place, so they communicated with him through telepathy. The pill handed to him should have the effect of telepathy.
"Never mind. I'm no match for these two white foxes anyway. Not to mention taking the pills, I won't be able to resist even if they torture me." Thinking of this, Lin Feng took the pill and swallowed it directly into his mouth.
"After taking this pill, you will be able to communicate with us through telepathy." The voice of a white fox came.
"Why didn't I find your nest just now? Do you know how to become invisible? Besides, a sneak attack from behind would be terrifying. It would be embarrassing if I hurt you by accident!" Lin Feng found that the two white foxes were quite friendly, so he half-jokingly communicated with them through telepathy.
Thief is Lin Feng's favorite profession, so he knows every detail of thieves. Lin Feng knows that thieves can be discovered by opponents after using stealth skills to enter stealth state. Because stealth is not the same as invisibility, the figure after stealth will leave a vague visible shadow. When encountering some experienced players, they can still see clues and use skills and props to counter the stealth thieves.
When Lin Feng arrived at the indicated position, he carefully observed the surroundings. With his anti-detection ability, any sign of stealth would not escape his eyes, which meant that the white fox was not using stealth. Since it was not stealth, it could only be invisibility.
Invisibility is a high-end spell that only mages can learn. After becoming invisible, the caster will become one with the surrounding environment without any flaws. It is absolutely possible to evaporate into thin air in broad daylight. It can be said to be a secret technique for hiding and ambushing.
But this kind of powerful spell also has certain limitations, otherwise the mage player would be able to walk anywhere and do anything. Therefore, after the low-level invisibility spell is cast, you cannot move, and it will last for a certain period of time, after which your figure will be revealed.
"We used an invisibility cloak to seal this stone cave, so you didn't find us." The white fox responded, which was exactly what Lin Feng had speculated before.
"I just heard footsteps. Who is that? Could that person be the danger you mentioned?" Lin Feng felt that the two white foxes seemed to be afraid of something. The white foxes that made him unable to fight back were in danger and begged him to help them. He was willing to help others, but the opponent that even they were afraid of must not be on the same level as him. It would be useless for him to go up.
"That's right, that man is the danger to our family. We use this invisibility cloak to seal the nest to avoid him. To be more precise, he is not a human, but a white fox like us." The two white foxes showed a fearful look, as if in front of the white fox, they could only choose to hide and escape.
Hearing this, Lin Feng was even more puzzled: "Since it is of the same species as you, why would it threaten and harm you? Is there any grudge between you white foxes?"
"We have no grudges against it. It is the most spiritual white fox among all the white foxes and has now cultivated into a three-tailed fox demon. It came here this time to absorb the spiritual souls of our family. Absorbing and fusing the spiritual souls of its own kind will enable it to quickly improve itself." A white fox sighed helplessly.
"Are you saying that it is not an ordinary white fox, but a fox demon? And you also have the ability to communicate with your mind, so you must not be an ordinary white fox?" Lin Feng had some clues.
"We white foxes are very ordinary animals. We don't have the wisdom of humans, nor the agility and strength of some animals. We survive and reproduce cautiously under the cruel rules of survival. But hundreds of years ago, we white foxes got a chance to become immortals. Since then, we have gradually learned how to cultivate our spirits and transform into foxes into demons. My wife and I have also been practicing according to this method. Finally, we have condensed our spirits and learned to communicate with people with our hearts. We are about to become fox demons with great magical powers."
"But as the saying goes, if you can't get out of this dangerous world, just retreat. Why don't you just find a chance to escape? Hiding like this all the time is not a solution!" Lin Feng suggested.
"We were also looking for a chance to escape, but for some reason you, a human, rashly broke into the cave where we lived and kept wandering around our hiding place. We had no choice but to drag you into this narrow stone cave to avoid attracting the attention of the fox demon."
"Are you planning to hide like this forever? I guess as long as the fox demon can confirm that you are in this cave, it will try every means to find you. Or it will guard the cave entrance and keep fighting with you. It won't be long before you lose your strength, and even if your soul is not taken away, you will starve to death in this stone cave." Lin Feng frowned, thinking that he could only hide like this for a while, but not for a lifetime. Hiding is only a temporary solution and is definitely not the best choice.
"That's why we beg for your help. Please protect our child and take it away from here. We will risk our lives to delay the fox demon and buy time for you to escape." The mother white fox used her tail to wrap a furry white fox cub. The white fox cub was sleeping soundly with its eyes closed, completely unaware that its family has fallen into a crisis and is about to face a severe test.
"This..." Lin Feng hesitated. He didn't want the little white fox to lose its parents. He wanted to risk his life to resist the fox demon and buy time for the white fox family to escape. But he was afraid that he would be useless in front of the fox demon and end up being annihilated and no one would escape.
"We have imprinted the white fox's cultivation rules and what happened today into this child's soul. When it becomes a fox demon, it will definitely repay your kindness." The female white fox pleaded.
Lin Feng was still a little hesitant. He couldn't bear to see the white fox family parting their lives, so he wanted to sacrifice himself to lure the fox away. His death would only mean losing some experience and affecting some game time, but the little white fox would lose its parents forever. Although Lin Feng knew that he was in a virtual game world, everything here was so real. He was willing to pay for it, to protect the reality in this virtual world, to protect a family, and to protect this beauty.
Just as Lin Feng was hesitating, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. The terrifying three-tailed fox demon finally revealed its true face, which turned out to be a pale-faced scholar who looked weak. Since demons have the ability to transform, they can transform into human form. Just like people yearn to become immortals, demons also yearn for human life, so this fox demon transformed into a human form.
But its harmless appearance could not conceal the evil spirit generated by excessive killing. Just like some cold killers in reality, they did not look vicious, but when killing people, they were as cold-blooded and crazy as if possessed by a demon.
"I know you are nearby, and you have hidden the kid who just came in. Do you think I can't find you like this? This cave is only this big, and I have plenty of time. I will find you eventually!" A cold and low voice was heard, and the fox demon launched an aggressive psychological offensive.
This three-tailed fox demon has killed countless white foxes. When it kills, it has become insensitive to the victims' groans of pain, without any guilt or pity. On the contrary, it feels extremely excited. It likes the fear of its prey when it is about to die. It seems that only this kind of fear can satisfy its dark and twisted heart, so it uses words to threaten and create this atmosphere of fear.
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled in absorbing spirits, you won't feel any pain. As for that human boy, he seems to be a virgin. Using him as a snack should be able to replenish some yang energy. Hahahaha!" The three-tailed fox actually laughed excitedly.
"Damn, this is not a horror online game. Why does the atmosphere become so dark as soon as this thing appears?" Lin Feng felt a little scared and unconsciously gave in. He subconsciously took the little white fox handed to him by the mother white fox and held the little white fox in his arms.
"This is an opportunity. We finally know its location. I will go to the cave passage on the left to lure it away. You quickly cover the benefactor and the child and leave." The white fox father said to his wife, then took off his invisibility cloak and rushed out of the stone cave at a very fast speed to attract the attention of the fox demon and buy time for the mother, daughter and Lin Feng to escape.
