Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 163 - 114: Giant Food Mountain Senior Brother, Mu Tianren
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the tail was cut off. The giant rat suddenly fell forward, rolling like a gourd, and began a frantic dash.
Now, with a lighter body, it could concentrate on escaping... could it?
No...
A feeling of pain and numbness started spreading from the tail’s wound, swiftly reaching the tail’s base, spreading to its body, reaching the chest and heart!
The sword that cut its tail... was poisoned!
The giant rat was overwhelmed by the fear of death, its abdomen convulsing violently, squeezing the bald man’s body inside into a bloody pulp, muffling his screams within its belly!
Immediately, the rat itself coughed up large amounts of bloody froth, turning into a corpse, rolling like a gourd, continuing to roll forward.
...
On the other side, the bus was still charging forward due to inertia!
The Big Mushroom Ship slithered like a snake. Bai Xingxing, sitting on the mushroom ship’s rear neck, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, circled in front of the bus, stopped it with a thunderous roar, tearing up the ground’s turf and overturning several large rocks.
Looking at the stopped bus, the three foxes smiled, mission accomplished!
Sitting on the Big Mushroom Ship, they began cheering and celebrating.
"Ow ow ow!"
"Ying ying ying!"
"Ying ying ying!"
Everything was perfect... except the car chase wasn’t exhilarating.
The rat was still a bit slow, only needing a couple of pedals to catch up, unable to let the Big Mushroom Ship fully perform, nor let the Fox Mountain car god showcase skills.
Ahead, white mist appeared, and Bai Xingxing heard the master’s voice.
"Very well, return to Fox Mountain."
Bai Xingxing nodded obediently, turned the wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and the Big Mushroom Ship slithered forward, plunged into the white mist, returning to Fox Mountain.
All that was left were the scattered turf, the rat’s corpse, overturned rocks, and a bus with a deformed, destroyed front, its tires sunk in the soil, body slightly tilted.
...
Soon, the helicopter’s loud noise was heard overhead.
Amidst the fierce wind, dirt and stones splashed as the helicopter hovered above.
A soft ladder was dropped, and a dozen Immortal Technique Committee members quickly climbed down. First, they checked the scene to ensure there was no danger, then violently slashed open the bus door, and entered inside.
Professor Zhang was also in the rescue team, and upon entering, randomly picked a front-row student, grabbed their wrist, and felt their pulse. Then lifted his eyelid, checked inside, pried open the mouth, and looked at the tongue.
"Hmm, thankfully!
"It’s not a significant toxin, it’s the beast poison of an Immortal Beast’s hallucinogenic moth."
Such classic toxins have classic antidote recipes.
He opened his white coat, inside were hung various bottles, took out a bottle from the second-to-last row, unscrewed the cap, looked at the dozens of injured in the bus, and brought the bottle to their noses one by one for them to smell.
...
After everyone had smelled the antidote, Professor Zhang wiped sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, finally relieving his mind.
He wondered again, who killed the Immortal Beast rat and saved this bus?
His colleagues outside were already investigating, so he immediately left the bus to have a look.
"Any discoveries?"
His colleagues investigating the scene, at a distance, appeared to have found something, their expressions strangely curious.
"Come and take a look!"
Professor Zhang walked forward and saw a large puddle of red-black goo, already soaking the ground, attracting a swarm of flies buzzing and feasting.
"This puddle, what is it?"
Professor Zhang frowned, examining carefully.
"Is... is it that Immortal Beast rat, poisoned until its body collapsed?
"Cell collapse, cellular structures collapsing, turning directly into a puddle of goo."
The crowd frowned, instinctively covering noses and stepping back.
However, as seasoned technicians, they quickly sensed something was off.
"Isn’t it toxic?
"If it were really toxic, would the flies eat so eagerly?"
Professor Zhang shook his head.
"This is Immortal Technique, can’t be discussed with common sense.
"I’ve heard powerful alchemists can control the release and explosion of drug toxicity, can make ordinary drugs instantly unleash all toxicity!
"Now it seems, the rat suffered this kind of poison.
"At the moment of poisoning, the toxicity had already fully erupted. When it rotted into goo, the toxicity was gone.
"Ordinary toxin is like a knife stabbing the body, causing bleeding, continuously.
"While this toxin is like a thunderbolt striking the head, the power bursts instantly, even if the Immortal Beast rat’s physique is the size of an ox, despite its inherent poison resistance, it couldn’t withstand, dying the moment of poisoning."
The crowd sighed.
"So, it’s snake venom?"
They then led Professor Zhang a bit farther, showing a wide snake path, windingly crushing grass, snapping trees, overturning stones, aggressively present.
Observing this snake path, one could imagine the python’s size and dread, chilling to the bone.
Professor Zhang stood stunned.
Saved by a giant snake?
What’s going on?
The information was overwhelming, his brows furrowed, unable to process immediately.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket, revealing satellite-taken images, enlarged for high-resolution processing, sent to his phone.
The images depicted a white python, weaving through a mountain forest, occasionally its massive body glimpsed through gaps!
"Is it really a python?
"Eh?
Somehow, Professor Zhang found the python particularly familiar.
More images arrived, one showed half a snake head visible through forest gaps... bizarrely shaped, as if the image distorted.
Professor Zhang’s expression turned strange.
He recognized it!
That wasn’t a head, but a vertical mouth!
What traversed the forest wasn’t a python, but that thousand-year-old Immortal Grass, the enormous mushroom that nearly swallowed him!
Professor Zhang was relieved. That guy’s words, such bizarre and eerie methods that are hard to understand... could be explained.
He furrowed his brows, pondering for a while about the causes and consequences of this incident, and arrived at a conclusion...
"... using the plant machine really attracted that guy’s attention?"
...
Whizz—
The bus left the West Ridge Mountain Range, passed through the suburbs of West State City, and turned a corner to see tall buildings lining the road, marking the return to the urban area.
The bus was very quiet.
Although none of the students on this bus were attacked or harmed, it was just a virtual fright... but their faces were pale, and they didn’t want to talk.
Bai Mo sat at the back row, leaned down, and whispered to Black Tail.
"Barbecue or farm-style restaurant?
"The city also has farm-style restaurants, with that kind of cuisine.
"You choose, then call Bai Xingxing and the others, let’s sneak out to eat together."
Black Tail frowned, stretched out a front paw to rub its chubby face, looking very troubled.
Really have to choose?
It wants to eat both!
Bai Mo explained.
"The ones making barbecue can’t make authentic farm-style dishes.
"The ones making farm-style dishes aren’t professional in barbecue.
"How about... we order takeout? Get both?"
"Ooh?"
This is a good idea!
Black Tail immediately widened its eyes and nodded obediently.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated, upon checking it saw a message from Wang Yuanbao in the activity group.
Has he woken up?
Indeed, being an Immortal Seeker, his physique is quite remarkable.
[ @everyone ]
[ Truly sorry for not letting everyone enjoy, instead putting everyone in danger ]
[ Of all things, we encountered an Immortal Beast, maybe I’m just having bad luck ]
[ Sorry everyone! ]
[ I’ve prepared small gifts for everyone, I’ll send them later as an apology ]
[ I’ve also signed everyone up for a health check-up at the Lambo Private Hospital, please go back and get checked, if there’s any problem, I’ll take full responsibility ]
[ Apologizing again ]
[ orz ]
In the bus, every student was looking at their phones and saw this message.
Most people didn’t blame Wang Yuanbao from the beginning to the end.
After all, he meant well, taking them out to play, encountering an Immortal Beast attack was just bad luck.
A few of them who were holding grudges also let go after seeing this message.
[ It’s not your fault ]
[ Don’t be so formal, Young Master Wang ]
[ Haha, we’re all brothers who shared troubles together ]
Then Wang Yuanbao sent another message.
[ I’ll cover all the medical fees and other expenses for the dozens of students poisoned and frightened in the previous bus! ]
[ Really f**king sorry! ]
Bai Mo felt a little sentimental, this chubby kid, his style in dealing with people and matters was quite open-hearted.
...
The uninjured students were sent home.
The matter came to a temporary closure.
On Bai Mo’s dining table, various farm-style dishes and barbecue filled the table completely.
Black Tail, Bai Xingxing, White Moon, and Bai Taiyang, four foxes sat around the table. They wouldn’t use chopsticks; around the tea table, they grabbed small spoons and spooned soup with food into their mouths, eating joyfully.
Bai Mo sat by the side, casually eating skewers, habitually opened his phone, and browsed the Immortal Technique forum.
To see a new post pinned at the top, with zero likes and zero replies, yet right at the top.
"Is there a bug?"
Bai Mo refreshed the page, yet the top post was still the same.
"What’s going on?"
He fixed his eyes on the post title.
[ Mu Tianren loses two brothers, though the enemy is strong, I fear not, revenge will be mine someday! ]
Clicking in, the post had no content, only this inexplicable title.
The poster was a new user, using alphanumeric characters as a nickname, with zero followers.
How did such a post get pinned?
Bai Mo puzzled, exited the post, and saw the second pinned post.
[ Do not reply to the first pinned post! Everyone, do not reply to the first pinned post! ]
The poster was unmistakably "Immortal Technique Committee Official", with gold label authentication.
Eh?
Bai Mo clicked in.
[ The first pinned post is posted by Giant Food Mountain senior brother Mu Tianren ]
[ Mu Tianren follows Beast Taming Path, but his Immortal Beast is said to have curse attributes, replying to his post may result in karmic entanglement, possibly getting cursed ]
[ So everyone must not reply ]
[ His post triggered a forum server bug, temporarily unable to delete, technical staff are urgently fixing the bug, expected to delete soon ]
[ Warning everyone again, do not reply to his post ]
Bai Mo understood... Giant Food Mountain senior brother?
Is he the senior brother of the Beast Master inside those two big rats’ stomachs?
This guy sure talks fast, his junior brother’s corpse isn’t even cold, yet he’s online yelling about revenge?
