Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 763 - 256: Heavenly Fox Tomb (Part 4)

If it were not for Yun Sheng, who recalled the pink smoke at the last moment, which resembled Hu Linglong’s Pink Skull Formation, suspecting that she was under the illusion technique of the Heavenly Fox Clan, she might have truly perished right there.

Looking again at the Magic Wand, it was still stuck in the same place.

This illusion, like Hu Linglong’s earlier Red Powder Skull, is also an illusion, but more terrifying than the Red Powder Skull.

The Pink Skull Formation can only muddle people, immersing them in the intoxication of wine, wealth, and beauty, making it hard to extricate themselves. However, the Petrification Array contained in the Magic Wand can literally scare a person to death.

After deciphering the Petrification Illusion Technique, Yun Sheng finally saw clearly the situation inside the stone chamber.

In the entire stone chamber, there were only piles of white bones, each without exception, prostrate next to the Magic Wand, trying to grasp it.

Human nature is greedy; every mage who entered this stone chamber saw only the perfect Magic Wand, never considering that without sufficient power, it was unmanageable.

The Magic Wand itself has no power, but the Petrification Illusion Technique it contains is indeed formidable.

These people were all scared to death in the "fear of petrification."

"Greed is not good; each spot has its fit. This damn Magic Wand probably can only be controlled by its owner. I almost died here; this thing is truly harmful," sighed Yun Sheng, and pulled out the Magic Wand.

Who knew that just as the Magic Wand was pulled out, a tile on the floor loosened. Yun Sheng wondered and lifted the tile where the Magic Wand was inserted.

Underneath the tile, there was a hidden compartment containing an old-looking Magic Scroll.

"Bobbie, Master, it records a witchcraft technique from the Heavenly Fox Clan called Corpse Puppetry."

Bobbie read the Magic Scroll.

Corpse Puppetry is one of the oldest witchcraft magics of the Fox Clan.

The practice conditions of Corpse Puppetry are extremely stringent, requiring three conditions.

First, the practitioner must be of the Heavenly Fox bloodline; if a person from another clan practices it, their Magic Soul will burst and they will die.

Second, the practitioner must have a resolute mind, otherwise, they are easily controlled by the Puppet Witchcraft, causing backlash to their Magic Soul.

Third, the practitioner must be a Summoner.

Only when all three conditions are met can the Corpse Puppetry be further developed.

After reading it, Yun Sheng thought to herself that this Corpse Puppetry seemed tailor-made for her.

She just happened to meet all three conditions, as if it was predestined in some mysterious way.

"Oh? Could it be that the Sky Fox Clan Leader who built this Heavenly Fox Tomb was also a Dark Mage?" After reading the scroll of Corpse Puppetry, Yun Sheng realized it was extraordinary indeed. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It’s called Corpse Puppetry, which, by implication, is quite different from modern hypnotism, being even more powerful; it can control not only the living but also the dead.

In some cases, it can even turn a Summoner’s Demon Beast against them.

Having grasped the magic, Yun Sheng decided to practice on the Xuanwu Warriors after she got out.

Yun Sheng immediately memorized the Corpse Puppetry Technique.

After storing the Magic Scroll in the Beast Language Ring, Yun Sheng also collected the Magic Wand.

Assuming no surprises, this Magic Wand should belong to the Sky Fox Clan Leader; Yun Sheng still needed to delve deeper into the Heavenly Fox Tomb, feeling a premonition that she might need to use this Magic Wand on her upcoming journey.

Yun Sheng left the stone chamber, returning first to the south gate, where she used the Corpse Puppetry Technique on the Xuanwu Warriors, pleasantly surprised to find that with just a little application, the Corpse Puppetry Technique took effect.

These Xuanwu Warriors, devoid of intelligence, suddenly became subordinates of Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng gathered all six Xuanwu Warriors into the Beast Language Ring.

It was finally the last door, the east door.

"Huh? This door seems different," Yun Sheng noticed, after opening three doors, that the fourth door, the last one, had changed.

There was a fox carved on this door, and although it was merely an engraving, the craftsmanship was lifelike. The fur was thick, and it had a pair of eyes as vivid as human’s.

This fox was different from the ordinary Demon Beast foxes; it stood upright, elegant in stature, vaguely resembling a young girl. But what caught Yun Sheng’s attention most was that behind the fox, there were six tails.

Yun Sheng had heard long ago that in the world of Demon Beasts, the number of heads or tails, or even limbs, indicated their lineage and strength.

For instance, Yun Sheng’s Little Black was once a Double-headed Dog, its Rank far superior compared to ordinary canines.

Also, the Centipede Ant General, after absorbing the Heavenly Fox Blood Crystal, had greatly increased its cultivation, and its original hundred feet evolved beyond one hundred and twenty.

Offspring of the Sky Fox Clan are born with only one tail, but as their cultivation improves, especially once their Magic Soul strengthens, they grow more tails.

"The secret passage of the Heavenly Fox Tomb must be behind this door," Yun Sheng speculated anxiously, as the last door opened.

As soon as the door opened, a stifling smell emanated, as this door had been sealed for even longer compared to the others.

Yun Sheng didn’t know that she was the only person who had entered this last door in the five thousand years since the Heavenly Fox Tomb was established.

Even some of the pure-blooded Heavenly Fox Descendants who had come to this tomb failed to withstand the Petrification Illusion Technique beyond the third door.

Inside the last door was another stone chamber.

In the chamber, there stood a statue.

It was the statue of a woman, a member of the Sky Fox Clan, breathtakingly captivating at first glance.

She was an ageless beauty, possessing both the charming looks of a young girl and the dignified grace of a woman. She had elegant hair and a figure that was neither too thin nor too stout.

Although it was just a statue, the woman’s face was beautiful, and her eyes were incredibly vivid. It was unknown who had carved this statue.

It was evident that the sculptor held deep admiration for this woman.

He captured the essence of the woman so well that even someone as inexperienced as Yun Sheng was drawn to the statue.

However, what astonished Yun Sheng the most was that this woman... closely resembled her mother, Hu Jiusheng.

Or perhaps it could be said that the woman resembled Yun Sheng herself.

It’s just that she appeared somewhat older than Yun Sheng.

Though the woman was undoubtedly beautiful, there was a touch of sorrow between her brows.

She looked towards the east, as if hoping for something, and her hands were without a Magic Wand.

"Is she the Sky Fox Clan Leader?" Yun Sheng saw a stele to the left of the statue.

"This is the tomb of Hu Yan, Sky Fox Clan Leader. Unauthorized persons entering the Heavenly Fox Tomb will suffer the Eight Desolate Beast Blood Curse and have their soul scattered."

The name of the Sky Fox Clan Leader was Hu Yan, and from her appearance, she seemed to have a blood relation with Yun Sheng and Yun Sheng’s mother Hu Jiusheng.
