Chapter 24: Nine Tailed Sky Fox

At this moment, time seemed to stand still as Chutian Ge turned to look at the male Firefox.

The Firefox, in turn, gazed blankly at the sky where the female Firefox had turned into ashes. Its eyes were filled with sadness, but deep within that sorrowful gaze, there was an unforgettable hatred. Its eyes instantly turned an unusual shade of red due to congestion, with a wild look. "Ah!" a shrill scream, like that of a human, escaped from the Firefox's mouth. Something strange happened, as its body instantly began to swell, gradually reaching the size of Chutian Ge. Under its fiery red fur, its muscles swelled up in an instant. Chutian Ge couldn't help but be amazed. What kind of monster was this?

"Immortal master, can you take a look at what this is?" Chutian Ge decided it was safer to ask the all-knowing immortal master system, as the situation had already become quite severe. He had no idea about this Firefox.

As the immortal master heard Chutian Ge's call and looked at the Firefox, his expression changed from curiosity to shock in an instant.

"How could this thing appear in a place like this?" the immortal master couldn't help but ask.

"What is this thing?" Chutian Ge was very curious because, in his view, it was just a slightly more powerful Firefox, perhaps just a mutated spirit beast. But judging from the immortal master's words, this thing seemed to have quite an unusual origin.

"Brat, this is no ordinary thing. This is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox."

"Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox? That name sounds cool! But it clearly only has one tail!" Suddenly Chutian Ge remembered the mythical story of Su Daji from his previous life, who was said to be a Nine-Tailed Fox. So, this meant that this creature had a significant background!

"More than just cool, it's simply extraordinary. If you mishandle it, it will be the end of your Chujia family. This Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a major family power in the Southern Martial Continent, an existence that even the Southern Martial Demon Emperor's Palace does not want to provoke."

As the immortal master revealed its identity, Chutian Ge was stunned. Although he had no idea what a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was, he knew about the Martial Demon Emperor's Palace, a massive entity that had stood for countless years in the Immortal Martial Continent. If even such a force didn't want to provoke this creature, then how had he gotten himself into this mess?

"What should I do? Kill it?" When Chutian Ge said this, it was evident that he had no confidence. After all, how could such a creature not have a bloodline power? Human bloodline power had been studied based on the inheritance power of the demon race. This was not good. If he let it return to the Southern Martial Continent and call for reinforcements, he would be considered a criminal to his own family.

"You fool, although this Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is powerful, the one in front of us is obviously just a little cub. You asked earlier why this Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox only has one tail. That's because all its cultivation is focused on the tail. The higher the cultivation, the more tails it has. As for the nine tails, it's said that it can drown you with a few drops of its spit. If you can capture and make it acknowledge you as its master, you will undoubtedly gain a great battle force." Before the immortal master finished speaking, Chutian Ge's eyes lit up. He imagined casually sending out a pet that could obliterate the enemy without a trace, which was incredibly impressive.

However, before Chutian Ge could finish his thoughts, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox charged towards him with anger. Chutian Ge instantly focused, defending himself against the attack. As the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox reached for Chutian Ge, he was thrown to the ground as if hit by a train, leaving a person-sized pit.

Before Chutian Ge could react, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox launched another attack. Chutian Ge quickly got up, evading the pursuit of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Brushing off the dust from his body, he looked at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and couldn't help but laugh as if he had found a treasure. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was also taken aback, staring blankly at Chutian Ge.

"Little one, are you willing to be my pet? No, no, how about being brothers?" Chutian Ge thought that since this spirit beast was so intelligent, it must understand what a pet was, so he quickly changed his words.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox paused for a moment, then looked at Chutian Ge mockingly. Before Chutian Ge could continue speaking, it waved its claws and charged at him. Chutian Ge, seeing this, also punched back at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and the two began to battle. Meanwhile, Chutian Ge asked the immortal master system how he could tame the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox while in the midst of the fight.

"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was born with its spiritual wisdom already awakened. However, by killing its partner, you have created an irreconcilable situation. If you want to subdue it by conventional means, it's an impossible task. " The Immortal Master System replied in Chu Tian Ge's mind.

"How can it be subdued then? I don't believe you have no way, considering you suggested subduing this Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox in the first place." Chu Tian Ge said anxiously, feeling that the Immortal Master System was just pretending to be profound.

"There is a way, but it comes with a price," said the mysterious Immortal Master System.

"Add another hundred Cloud Leopards to the mission. I checked, and there are at least five to six hundred of them in the Wolong Mountain Range, which should be enough for you to complete the task." The Immortal Master System said.

"Okay, I agree. Now, give me the method to subdue it." Chu Tian Ge felt that it was not easy to give something to this Immortal Master System. It had just added another hundred Cloud Leopards to his task, making it seem like he was supposed to wipe out the Cloud Leopard clan.

"Subdue this Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox first. You will receive the method when the time comes." After saying this, the Immortal Master System fell silent.

Hearing this, Chu Tian Ge gathered his focus and began to battle. However, he was accidentally hit by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, crashing into a tree with a loud "thud". The tree snapped in half, but due to the protection of his Dao Yuan, Chu Tian Ge's injuries were not severe. However, this incident ignited his spirit of competitiveness.

"I refuse to believe that I can't subdue you!" Chu Tian Ge roared and charged forward with his fists.

The human and the beast instantly resumed their battle, and what Chu Tian Ge didn't know was how much the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox would help and provide opportunities for him in the days to come.
