Ghost Catching System-Chapter 626 - 625: Proposal of the Six-tailed Demon Fox (Part 5)_1
The chase led straight out of the city. Taoist Min Ran was filled with anxiety; his True Qi was nearly depleted, and even his prepared earth escape charms were almost gone.
Chu Hao was also exhausted from the pursuit, cursing, "Rodent, you really can run! I don't believe you can keep it up until dawn!"
Min Ran felt bitter, so much so that he wanted to cry. He even missed the peaceful days on Mount Taiding, so unlike this current debacle.
A while later, they had truly entered the deep, dark forest. Chu Hao suddenly realized that many eyes were watching him.
Utilizing his skills, Chu Hao could see clearly even in the darkness. He immediately noticed various animals staring at him.
All sorts of creatures: pangolins, foxes, stray dogs, and even some owls. In the pitch-black night, their eyes looked incredibly eerie.
Chu Hao had a bad premonition. The presence of these animals was too abnormal; he could even feel a whiff of Monster Qi.
HISS!
From a crooked-neck tree, a venomous snake dropped down, nearly biting him.
Chu Hao grabbed the snake in one swift motion, crushing it to death. He cursed, "What demon dares to ambush this Taoist Master?"
In the pitch-black night, animals kept appearing. Even a black bear and a leopard?
Damn, this place isn't far from the outskirts of Anli City, Chu Hao thought. Where did this bear and leopard come from? From the look of them, they seemed ready to attack if he wasn't careful.
Chu Hao thought of the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings who had been monitoring him. Could it be them?
Chu Hao felt vulnerable. He knew he couldn't handle the power of the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings, not unless he learned the Intermediate Foundation Building Manual.
At that moment, an intoxicating fragrance shook his heart. From the darkness emerged a woman whose allure was extreme.
This woman was graceful and slinky, with a willowy waist and a full bust that outlined a deep, snowy-white ravine. She walked towards him with a catlike grace, her body undulating seductively. Truly a vision!
Her long black hair tumbled like a waterfall down to her waist and hips. Her eyes, like inlaid black gems, shone brightly in the dark.
Upon seeing her, Chu Hao was hit by a wave of astonishing allure.
The Six-tailed Fox Demon?
Of course, Chu Hao knew who she was. Wasn't she the same Six-tailed Fox Demon who had attacked Anli City not long ago?
Chu Hao was at a loss for words, awkwardly saying, "Haha… what a coincidence, you're here too. My mom's calling me home for dinner, so goodbye."
Chu Hao turned and ran, his speed incredibly fast, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
The Six-tailed Fox Demon chuckled, her voice sultry, "Don't go. Come, keep sister company and let's chat about life."
Chu Hao suddenly felt as if the scenery around him was retreating. Despite his vigorous running, he couldn't leave the area.
Damn it!
What kind of luck is this? Just a trip to the forest and I run into this Demon King?
Chu Hao turned his head. The Fox Demon was standing still; she hadn't moved an inch. He simply couldn't escape. He had entered her territory.
The woman smirked. "Relax, sister isn't going to eat you."
She was barefoot. Her tender white skin was translucent as water, her toes crystal clear. As she stepped on the soil, not a speck of dirt clung to her—she was as ethereal as a fairy.
Chu Hao cursed inwardly. If I can get away this time, I'll make sure to always carry the Greenwood Flame Fan with me from now on.
Turning his head, Chu Hao said with an embarrassed expression, "What do you want?"
The female Fox Demon gave a light laugh; she was devastatingly charming, enough to make ordinary men helpless before her. Her figure was tall and slender, graceful and alluring. She pursed her lips into a coy smile. "Look how nervous you are. Sister doesn't eat human flesh."
Yet, as she licked her sensual lips, she gave the impression of eyeing a piece of tender meat, betraying her true intentions.
Chu Hao spoke seriously, "Fox Demon, just say what you want. You can't really do anything to me."
The Six-tailed Fox Demon snorted coldly. "Do you really think your formation can deal with me? If it weren't for those other two that day, you would be dead already."
Chu Hao's face turned bitter. A Demon King is indeed a Demon King, not easy to fool, he thought. Still, he said, "Then try me."
The Six-tailed Fox Demon switched to a smiling face. "I don't want the Emperor's Yellow Seal for now. Do me a favor."
"What kind of favor?"
The Six-tailed Fox Demon said, "Join me in killing the Southern Ghost King, and the matter of you killing my subordinates will be wiped clean."
Chu Hao was surprised and asked, "You want to kill the Ghost King too?"
That Southern Ghost King is really unlucky. What on earth did it do to provoke everyone? Su Huansheng wants to team up to kill it, and you demons want to kill it too, Chu Hao mused.
System prompt: SS-level mission triggered. Join forces to slay the Southern Ghost King and use the Ghost Devouring Technique to devour the Ghost King.
System prompt: Completing the mission will award 8,000,000 Experience Points.
System prompt: Completing the mission will award 100,000 Merit Points.
System prompt: Completing the mission will award one Green Diamond Treasure Chest.
The Ghost Devouring Technique was a skill Chu Hao had purchased previously. It could devour Ghosts and convert them into Mana Points.
Chu Hao was surprised. This is actually an SS-level mission! The Southern Ghost King must be quite formidable.
The Six-tailed Fox Demon nodded. "That's right, I want to kill it."
Chu Hao asked, "Can you tell me why you want to kill it?"
The Six-tailed Fox Demon said, "I won't hide it from you. The Southern Ghost King has obtained the Ghost Sutras. Now, it's a target for everyone; countless demons and Taoists want to kill it."
Ghost Sutras!
Chu Hao asked, "What are the Ghost Sutras?"
The Six-tailed Fox Demon gave a light smile. "Are you a Yin Yang Master? You don't even know about the Ghost Sutras."
Chu Hao felt awkward; he had nearly exposed himself. He quickly asked, "Are these Ghost Sutras as powerful as the Taoist Scriptures?"
The Six-tailed Fox Demon nodded. "More or less. Now that the Southern Ghost King has the Ghost Sutras, its strength will rapidly increase in the near future. As far as I know, a Ghost King needs to devour other Demon Kings and Ghost Kings to increase its own power. If it becomes powerful, we will all be its prey. And you," she added, looking at him, "probably won't escape unscathed either."
So that's why! No wonder Su Huansheng was so keen to team up with me, Chu Hao thought.
Chu Hao said, "I'm in."
The Six-tailed Fox Demon smiled. "Sister will come looking for you. Goodbye."
As she spoke, the Six-tailed Fox Demon disappeared without a trace.
Ghost Sutras... I wonder what kind of thing it is? And how many Pretentiousness Points is it worth?
Speaking of which, it's a real pity Min Ran escaped when I was ambushed earlier, Chu Hao reflected. Still, I'm not afraid of him. Once I get the Ghost Sutras, devour the Ghost King, and my strength increases, won't killing Min Ran be as easy as slaughtering a chicken?
Chu Hao left the deep mountains and returned to Anli City.
Anli City was extraordinarily lively that night. The auction house had been robbed, and many people had fainted from fear. When they woke up, they found themselves in a hospital, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Chu Hao didn't know the outcome of Su Huansheng and the others chasing the toad. However, the toad was very cunning, so those people probably hadn't caught it yet.
Now, I need to prepare for the mission to annihilate the Southern Ghost King, Chu Hao resolved.
