Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 112 - 88: Autonomous Armor, Bull Shield!

The cold wind blew from the sky, howling as it swept through the mountains.

Bai Mo stood beside the dirt pit, wrapping his windbreaker tightly around himself.

He glanced at his disciples in the pit below, then at the Bull Shield in the hole.

"This thing is recorded in the literature.

"It was refined from a cow. Or rather, from a cow plus a human!

"The Ancient Immortal Dynasty would have young children raise newborn calves, living and eating together. Feeding milk to the calves, leading them to eat grass, accompanying them as they grew.

"Letting humans and cows grow up together."

The fox disciples looked at their master, then at the Bull Shield in the hole, continuing to listen to him tell the story.

"Over the years, the cattle boy grew into a cattle herding youth, and the calves grew into mature old cows.

"Humans and cows accumulated deep emotional bonds.

"At this point...

"The Immortal Artifact Masters of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty would kill the children and make their skulls into immortal artifacts that do not decay.

"They would take the child’s skull and ask the cow...

"Cow, this is your master.

"Cow, he has become an immortal artifact that does not decay, but your lifespan is only a short few years.

"Cow, when you die, there will be nothing to protect him. If you are willing, endure the pain and let me also make you an immortal artifact, and you can always accompany him, always protect him.

"If the cow is unwilling, then the making of this artifact would be declared a failure."

The fox disciples frowned and looked again at the Bull Shield in the hole, their eyes changed.

So if the cow agrees? How does the refining process go?

"If the cow agrees, the Immortal Artifact Masters of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty would cut off the cow’s head, take out the skull, engrave runes on the cow’s skull, and refine the cow’s soul into the skull. After a series of processes, the Bull Shield could be successfully made.

"The successfully made Bull Shield is extremely hard, capable of floating and flying, always orbiting around the cattle boy’s skull, helping him block all harm!"

As he spoke, Bai Mo frowned and pursed his lips, lamenting the perversion of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

Moreover, the making of a Bull Shield doesn’t involve only one person and one cow.

Ten thousand people raise ten thousand cows, about nine thousand cows are willing to eternally protect their masters.

Nine thousand cows are refined into nine thousand shields, only one or two of which might be lucky enough to be successfully made.

A Bull Shield involves untold sadness and joy.

The fox disciples glanced sideways, looking again at the Bull Shield in the hole, their eyes even more different.

Therefore... deep in the hole, is there a shepherd’s skull?

The Bull Shield at the mouth of the hole is there just to protect that skull?

They all put down their shovels.

Looking again at the Bull Shield, they saw it floating at the mouth of the hole, slightly pulsating, slightly trembling, loyally guarding the shepherd’s skull inside the hole, waiting for any incoming attack.

Its right horn was broken, its left jawbone had fallen into the hole, and cracks had spread. It seemed to have suffered quite a bit protecting that shepherd’s skull.

Even buried in the dirt for thousands of years, once unearthed, it still follows its obsession and instinct to guard the shepherd’s skull.

The foxes nodded in agreement; this thing is quite loyal!

Bai Mo continued.

"Of course, these are just tricks used by Immortal Artifact Masters to deceive the cows.

"After refining, the shepherd’s skull has long scattered its soul, becoming just a piece of bone.

"The refined bull’s soul is also transformed, becoming merely an object, devoid of feelings, devoid of emotions, leaving only a shred of obsession.

"But that said... this immortal artifact, although cruelly made, is very useful.

"As long as the shepherd’s skull is worn, the Bull Shield will hover nearby, blocking all attacks. It’s a foolproof kind of immortal artifact requiring no operation."

The foxes glanced sideways, looking again at the Bull Shield, feeling even more different! This thing not only has substance, not only is loyal, but its function is impressive!

In the group of foxes, White Claw stepped forward, extending a paw to touch the Bull Shield, trying to touch its broken horn.

As soon as the paw reached out, the shield "swish" came up to block!

If White Claw hadn’t retracted quickly, he would’ve been hit by the shield.

White Claw was frightened and shivered, quickly stepping back.

Nearby Big Head, Quanquan Hu, White Ears, and others frowned, stared wide-eyed, looking up at the master.

This thing doesn’t listen! What to do?

Bai Mo stood above the dirt pit, furrowed his brow, scanned the Bull Shield with his divine sense, perceiving its interior. He didn’t understand immortal artifacts but knew a bit of the principle, just superficially. After some investigation and contemplation, he slowly figured out a solution.

Immediately, he called the dozen or so disciples.

"Follow me, let’s refine some medicine for this Bull Shield."

...

The newly brought back New Alchemy Furnace to Fox Mountain came in handy. It greatly improved the efficiency of alchemy, only needing ten or so disciples to help in mixing the ingredients, not long after, they refined a bucket of medicinal soup.

This time, without the master’s presence, White Claw and Big Head carried a large bucket of medicinal soup using a pole, coupled with about ten senior and junior brothers, a group of foxes grandly returned to the dirt pit where the Bull Shield was.

Seeing the Bull Shield poking out its head from that dirt hole again, slightly pulsating, fully defensive.

Quanquan Hu crooked his mouth into a smile, revealing sharp tiger teeth. He blew a breath, swaying his bushy whiskers.

Grabbing a willow branch, dipping it into the medicinal soup, he gently flicked the branch, sprinkling a few drops of the soup onto the surface of the Bull Shield. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Hissing...

Amid the piercing sounds, the Bull Shield shook violently!

This medicinal soup contained the hair flakes of ten thousand foxes from Fox Mountain. When sprinkled on the Bull Shield, it can erase the already weak divine sense imprint inside, causing the shield to become familiar with the scent of ten thousand foxes, making it change allegiance, recognizing ten thousand foxes as its masters.
