Thieves are Everywhere in The World

Chapter 23: Escape from the dead

Views:

The white fox father quickly ran away from the white fox den where he was hiding. When he ran to the cave passage on the left, he made a fox call to attract the attention of the fox demon.

"Haha, a man who knows the times is a hero. Giving up resistance can save you some pain, and it is the wisest choice." The voice of the fox demon also came from the cave passage.

"Let's quickly escape to the cave passage on the right. You take the invisibility cloak in case of emergency. If the fox demon finds us, I will desperately buy time for you. I hope you can take our children away no matter what." The white fox mother handed the invisibility cloak to Lin Feng and it fell directly into his backpack.

"Don't worry, I will take it away safely." Lin Feng nodded firmly.

The mother white fox led the way, and Lin Feng followed closely behind it, holding the little white fox in his arms, and ran towards the cave passage on the right. However, a heart-wrenching and miserable fox howl came from the cave passage on the left.

"Tell me where your family is and I will make your death easier and save you from unnecessary pain." The fox demon had a grim expression on his face, stepping on the white fox father, with a pale flame in his hand. It was this flame that burned the white fox father and caused him to cry in pain.

"Stop it. Even if you torture me to death, I won't say a word." Although the white fox father was cruelly tortured, his will was still so firm. He wanted to use his life to buy every minute and every second to keep his family safe.

"Okay, then I'll grant your wish." This weak and scholarly fox demon was vicious and cruel. Seeing that the interrogation was hopeless, he stomped on the male white fox's head and crushed it, ending its life.

Killing a fellow fox was like killing an ant, a mosquito, or a fly. This fox demon was so cold-blooded that he had no friends. At this moment, he opened his hands and cast a spell, drawing the soul from the white fox father's body and swallowing it into his own body.

"You are just an appetizer, but your child is the main meal I have been looking for for a long time. Thinking of using the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to let the main meal escape, isn't it a bit too fantastic?" The fox demon looked at the body of the white fox father on the ground with some playfulness, and his body moved and floated up like a ghost, and then chased in the direction of the cave entrance at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Feng followed the mother white fox and finally escaped from the cave, but a strong sense of crisis still surrounded him. He felt that the fox demon was like a nightmare that he could never get rid of, and would follow him closely even if he fled to the ends of the earth.

The mother white fox seemed to feel something was wrong as well, and she said to Lin Feng, "That fox demon is about to catch up with us. I believe you will take good care of our child, so take it down the mountain quickly. Remember not to look back while running away, I will use my life to buy you enough time. You will be safe only when you reach the village or a crowded place!"

Before it finished speaking, it used its fox tail to roll up Lin Feng, and after a short period of accumulation of power, it threw Lin Feng and the little white fox in his arms down the mountain. Lin Feng only felt a strong magical power blessing his body, and then he glided and flew through the mountains and forests like a bird with wings.

Lin Feng felt that he was self-taught, and he used the magic power in his body to avoid the trees in the forest at high speed. He was fully focused and did not dare to be careless. If he failed to dodge and hit the tree, he would be smashed to pieces, and the three-tailed fox demon would catch up and take advantage of him.

Lin Feng's flying time was very short, but it felt so long to him. He didn't know how long he had been flying in the forest until his mana was completely exhausted and Lin Feng fell on the hillside. He hugged the little white fox tightly and rolled twice on the ground to reduce the impact of landing, then stood up and started running for his life. He knew the strength of the fox demon, and he had to cherish every minute and every second and use it all to run for his life, without a moment's rest. But he suddenly stepped into the air after running a few steps, and turned from running to rolling...

The mountain was steep, and Lin Feng's speed quickly increased as he went down the mountain like a car with the accelerator out of control. At the same time, his life was like the fuel in the tank, which was quickly consumed as he rolled over. At the last moment when his life was about to run out, a small tree with lush branches and leaves acted as Lin Feng's brake and airbag. Lin Feng finally stopped rolling by hanging on the tree branch, but he was already covered with scars.

"No wonder people tell the other person to get lost and disappear from their sight when they are angry. This time, after personal experience, I came to the conclusion that getting lost is really the fastest way to disappear." Lin Feng sighed.

The Novice Village was not far away. Lin Feng quickly looked at the little white fox in his arms and was relieved to see that it was sleeping soundly and was not hurt at all. He wanted to turn around to see if there were any fox demons chasing him on the mountain, but he was suddenly startled and recalled the white fox mother's advice to him not to look back while running away, and he would be safe only when he reached the village and crowded places.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng did not stop. He immediately broke free from the branches and leaves, holding the little white fox and ran towards the village. Finally, he saw Jia Xiaobao holding a steel fork at the entrance of the village. Only then did he feel that he was finally out of danger.

"You actually captured a white fox cub. You didn't disappoint me!" Jia Xiaobao couldn't hide his excitement. In his opinion, killing the big black wild boar was possible with some effort; but asking him to find the white fox's lair and capture a white fox cub was equivalent to completing an impossible task.

Lin Feng handed the little white fox to Jia Xiaobao's arms. The little white fox yawned and woke up. It looked at the two humans with its watery eyes and patted its furry and chubby little paws, as if it was celebrating its escape from death.

"It lost its parents just like you. I hope your sister can take good care of it." Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, my sister can take good care of that 'Silly Xiaobao', let alone a little white fox. We will take good care of the little white fox and bring it up." Jia Xiaobao promised.

System prompt: Complete the fifth step of Thief's Treasure, and you will be rewarded with 1600 experience points and 1 silver coin. (Thief's Treasure - Completed)

Lin Feng's body flashed with brilliance as he successfully upgraded to the next level, gaining 5 automatically allocated attribute points, which were allocated by the system in proportion to the three attributes of agility, strength, and stamina.

In addition, he also gained 1 skill point, which was probably used to upgrade his skills. However, Lin Feng already had four skills: searching, unlocking, sprinting, and assassination. If he completed the last step of the thief's treasure mission as expected, he should be able to learn a thief's professional skill. Therefore, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to allocate this skill point. It would not be too late to study it in detail when he had free time after completing the mission.

"As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring. You have helped me a lot, and I will definitely reward you generously." Jia Xiaobao smiled brightly, as if he still had a hint of the fierce feeling from before.

As Jia Xiaobao waved his hand, a ray of light flashed, and Lin Feng finally had the thief's magical skill "Stealth" in his skill bar.

"You now need to keep growing, work hard to improve your levels, learn more skills and even advanced skills. Only in this way can you become stronger and face greater dangers and challenges. I suggest you go to the pharmacy, maybe you can get a good task, and you can also buy some supplies there in case of emergency." Jia Xiaobao did not give Lin Feng any tasks, but pointed out the direction of the game for him.

After bidding farewell to Jia Xiaobao, Lin Feng turned into the alley and took a shortcut to the pharmacy. He also wanted to buy some medicine and then find a place with moderate monsters to experience the feeling of killing monsters.

Lin Feng had long wanted to try out the Seven Kills Dagger, but he was chased all over the mountain by a fox demon, and the weapon became useless. This time he must find an evenly matched opponent, fight to the fullest, try out the feel of the dagger, and see its hidden properties. Maybe after killing enough monsters, the dagger will be upgraded to a higher quality, bringing him a bigger surprise.

Playing games requires a combination of various gameplays. Too much singleness will make people feel boring and slowly lose the fun of the game. Now it seems that the gameplay of this game is quite varied, with tasks, battlefields, and dungeons all available. The main task alone is divided into multiple task types, and Lin Feng is very satisfied with this.

Finding the mysterious locksmith, chasing the naughty white goose, beating up the black wild boar, and finally rolling down from the mountain to escape the fox demon's pursuit... The plot is full of ups and downs. Lin Feng feels that this game has brought him a lot of fun, and he is full of expectations for the future game road. (To be continued)
