I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 779 - 294: Head Gets Knocked Askew, Successive Probing (5k)_3

The Demon Fox's body began to tense, and she started to tremble. Her physical body was now so weak that just walking here made her feel very uncomfortable.

There was no end in sight, and the countless Ghosts also told her where she was.

The legendary Nether Path, the place all Lost Souls would eventually enter.

Her complexion was ashen. She truly hadn't expected Wen Yan, a living person, to so casually enter such a place. It was a location even the Great Demons of the Great Wilderness dared not tread.

Following the Nether Path out, they then entered the Rakshasa Ghost Market through an entrance and used the Ghost Market as a thoroughfare to the Nether Soul Realm.

A driver in a paper-craft car drove Wen Yan all the way to the bank of the Yin River.

The Demon Fox followed closely within three steps of Wen Yan the entire time. Beyond that range, without the protection of the Yang Energy radiating from Wen Yan's body, she felt her physical body wouldn't last long in this lower layer.

Wen Yan, holding Little White Jade, crouched by the bank of the Yin River. The river before him was chillingly cold, with quite a few Ghosts struggling and drifting within.

Wen Yan crouched for a long while, then turned his head to look at the Demon Fox following behind him.

"This river connects to the Styx River. Ghosts who fall into it will sink and be lost within. Living beings that enter, their souls will also be submerged, transforming them into new Ghosts. Why didn't you take the chance to push me into the river?"

The Demon Fox's expression stiffened, as if her inner thoughts had been laid bare.

She had indeed had that thought for a fleeting moment.

But as quickly as the thought appeared, she abandoned it.

She now felt that being captured by Wen Yan was actually the safer option.

"How could I? With my meager power, the moment I pushed you in, you'd definitely be able to pull me down with you. I'm not stupid; why would I have such an idea?"

Instead of displaying vulnerability as before, the Demon Fox calmly analyzed the situation, making her words more convincing.

Wen Yan nodded.

"Makes sense. Too bad you didn't take your chance."

Wen Yan stood up. Suddenly, the mud beneath his feet slid, leaving a clear mark, and one of his feet plunged into the water. Then his entire body, as if instantly stiffened, fell straight down. Within seconds, as the water rippled, he sank beneath the surface and disappeared.

The Demon Fox's eyes widened, her mouth agape, utterly shocked by the scene.

What is happening?

"Wen Yan? Wen Yan?" Feng Wei, standing not far away, quickly rushed forward a couple of steps and started shouting at the water's surface.

The Demon Fox stood blankly watching this scene, dismayed that such a powerful being could just die in the water like that.

She saw the Ghosts in the water, as if celebrating, flailing incessantly.

It was like fish in an aquarium suddenly sensing food being scattered, struggling madly, pushing against each other, making the surface seem to boil.

Gradually, the water's surface returned to calm, but Wen Yan did not resurface.

Feng Wei was still acting, while Tong Si seemed genuinely very nervous.

The Demon Fox stood by the river, completely dumbfounded. She couldn't understand what was happening at all.

She could sense that there was something terribly wrong with this river. She even sensed that this was the Nether Soul Realm—the domain most suitable for the Nether Souls' existence.

She knew full well that if a living person fell in, they would undoubtedly perish.

Amidst the chaos, from a distant taxi, a strip of Gray Cloth quietly poked out a little from under the window, seemingly peering from afar.

On the other side, Wen Yan proceeded underwater, heading towards the area between the Yin River and the Styx River.

Upon reaching the spot, he took out the White Jade that was wrapped in a high-density plastic bag.

He swirled it in the water, then rubbed its surface with his hands.

Soon, the bloodstains and other blemishes on the surface of the White Jade appeared to be washed away.

A White Fox Demon Spirit was washed out, falling into this isolated stretch of water.

Following that, the White Fox Tribe Leader's Demon Soul was also forcibly washed out and fell into the water.

Seeing this, Wen Yan was finally satisfied.

Seeing the White Jade thoroughly cleaned, restored to its original flawless appearance, Wen Yan finally felt at ease.

"Rest assured, I am a man of my word," Wen Yan said, taking one last look at the White Fox Tribe Leader's Demon Soul and waving goodbye. "When I say I won't kill you, I won't. Have fun here, and try to last for a good few more years."

The White Fox Tribe Leader fell into the water. He took only one step before seeing Wen Yan's figure recede, growing ever more distant, surrounded by vast waters, like an ocean.

He attempted to rise to the surface but encountered what felt like an insurmountable chasm, completely unable to leave the confines of the water.

He struggled in the water and, within a short time, was completely lost.

His consciousness would not dissipate so quickly. He would endure a long time, being gradually ground down by the Styx River. He could even vividly feel this process.

After finishing the cleansing, Wen Yan turned and left. The Ghosts, despite their limited intelligence, had come to recognize him after his many visits.

Knowing that approaching him brought no good, they all wished they had extra legs to flee even faster.

As he was about to walk ashore, Wen Yan wondered if the Demon Fox had run off or done something.

My act should have looked quite convincing, right?

I acted as if I'd been electrocuted. Being electrocuted or merely touching the Styx River—there shouldn't be much difference, right?

The Demon Fox doesn't know I have a special trait preventing me from truly succumbing to the Styx River, so she probably wouldn't suspect anything, right?

Full of anticipation, Wen Yan walked up along the riverbed. He hoped to see the Demon Fox captured by the Gray Cloth as his head broke the water's surface.

Unfortunately, upon emerging, the Demon Fox still stood obediently on the shore, and Feng Wei continued his extravagant performance.

As Wen Yan came out of the water and stepped onto the shore, the water on his body dripped off and returned to the river on its own.

Seeing this, a cold sweat instantly broke out on the Demon Fox's back. Goosebumps erupted all over her skin, and her hairs stood on end.

She let out a long sigh, and the tension completely drained from her body.

This guy is positively deranged! Just to test me, first, he squatted by the riverbank with his back to me, and then he actually pretended to fall, leaping into this eerie Yin River!

To test if I would run away?

Wishful thinking!

From this moment on, if I even entertain the slightest thought of running away again, may I gain an extra eighty pounds!
