"Of course! Just infuse my Spiritual Breath into it!"
The voice of the Sword Soul rang out.
"Infuse your Spiritual Breath? It's that simple?"
Yang Tian asked in surprise.
"Of course it's simple! After all, I am the soul of the Holy Sword. No matter how powerful the Corpse Fox is, it's just a creature; it cannot sense my Spiritual Breath!"
The Sword Soul replied matter-of-factly.
"Since it's so simple, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yang Tian hurriedly asked.
"You never asked me, so of course, I didn't answer you."
The Sword Soul said.
For a moment, Yang Tian had an impulse to thrash the Sword Soul.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Young Lady Yaoyao saw Yang Tian grinding his teeth in anger and quickly said, "Big brother, don't be mad. I'll go back and report to Grandma immediately, and have her punish Elder Xiao!"
"No, I'm not angry because of Elder Xiao..."
Yang Tian quickly said, as he used his Divine Sense to infuse the Sword Soul's Spiritual Breath and probe the surroundings.
As expected, this time, he extended his senses for ten kilometers and could feel the Corpse Fox squatting in a bush.
Meanwhile, the Corpse Fox could no longer sense Yang Tian's Divine Sense.
It seems that infusing the Sword Soul's Spiritual Breath can indeed evade the Corpse Fox.
Soon, Yang Tian found a relatively safe path.
"Yaoyao, follow me!"
Yang Tian called out to Young Lady Yaoyao and began to walk out.
Young Lady Yaoyao knew Yang Tian's capability well. After all, Yang Tian was a Talisman Master among humans, and even though he was only mid-stage in the Fetus Refining Realm, he was definitely more powerful than Elder Xiao, who was at the later stages of the same realm.
Therefore, following Yang Tian was certainly safer than following Elder Xiao.
With that, the two of them walked forward.
With his Divine Sense scanning, Yang Tian was fully aware of the surroundings.
He knew that Elder Xiao was leading the group of foxes to the left front. Originally, Yang Tian wanted to avoid them, but his brows furrowed when he sensed four men and women heading to the right front.
"Yaoyao, there are survivors, let's go check!"
Yang Tian called Young Lady Yaoyao, heading to the left front.
Elder Xiao had brought the crowd into a dense ancient forest and was thinking of stopping to rest for a while when he noticed Yang Tian and the others following. For a moment, Elder Xiao's face turned heavy: "Wang Qiang, there are so many paths, why follow us?"
"It's not good, out of three hundred young members, only just over fifty are left alive, Chen Na. Come with us, we're going into the shadows!"
Elder Xiao said.
"Elder Xiao, we came from a rocky area ahead; it's very safe there."
Chen Na said.
"Fine, let's explore the rocky area first." Elder Xiao quickly motioned for everyone to follow, but suddenly remembered something, turned to Yang Tian, and said, "Wang Qiang, we discovered this rocky area, don't follow us, find your own path!"
"Elder Xiao, you..."
Young Lady Yaoyao's face turned anxious.
But Yang Tian remained unexpectedly calm, using his Divine Sense to probe forward.
Indeed, not far ahead, there was a rocky area.
However, Yang Tian's brows quickly furrowed.
He discovered that this rocky area was not safe at all; on the contrary, it was filled with giant toxic scorpions, each as big as a soccer ball, hiding under the rocks. But for a fox, wouldn't it be easy to discover them?
So why did Chen Na say the rocky area is safe?
For a moment, Yang Tian grew suspicious.
He used his Divine Sense to probe Chen Na, feeling something was wrong, and whispered to Young Lady Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, I suspect this Chen Na is not from your Fox Race."
"Ah?"
Young Lady Yaoyao's face changed, but soon regained composure.
Yet her eyes were filled with tension, scrutinizing Chen Na intently, then shaking her head slightly, whispering, "Big brother, this Chen Na has the Fox Spirit Aura of our race, she should be one of us."
"Oh?"
Yang Tian nodded without further comment.
But one thing was certain, the rocky area was extremely dangerous.
If Chen Na was leading the foxes into the rocky area, she definitely intended harm, but with the Fox Spirit Aura on her, the only explanation was she was transformed by the Corpse Fox?
Thinking of this, Yang Tian wanted to confirm: "Elder Xiao, let me take a look, it will benefit you."
"Bullshit benefit, get the hell out of here!"
A fox shouted at Yang Tian.
"Exactly, trash, leave us alone!"
Other foxes joined in shouting insults.
A flash of amusement passed through Yang Tian's eyes, and he said calmly: "If you don't want me to follow, that's fine. I just think the rocky area is unsafe, and you should not go."
The crowd was incensed upon hearing this.
Each one started yelling at Yang Tian: "Wang Qiang, you despicable person, being rejected by us, now you intentionally try to scare us. You just arrived here; you can't even protect yourself, yet you claim the rocky area is unsafe? You're just sour grapes!"
Only Chen Na's eyes flashed briefly with an unnoticeable gleam.
"Alright then, let's each go our own way!"
Yang Tian couldn't be bothered with these fools. If they wished for death, let them march to their doom; he wouldn't bother explaining, pulling Young Lady Yaoyao and heading in another direction.
"We'll ignore him, Wang Qiang caught the princess's attention, he's not one of us!"
Elder Xiao waved his hand and led everyone into the rocky area.
"Exactly, Wang Qiang's just trash, his words are nothing but nonsense!"
The crowd jeered, heading toward the rocky area.
Soon, under Chen Na's lead, they entered the rocky area, only for Chen Na and her group to suddenly increase their pace and disappear into the rocks instantly. This made Elder Xiao frown: "Chen Na, where are you going?"
There was no response.
The crowd felt a chill, suddenly realizing something.
Hiss, hiss!
At that moment, beastly cries rang out from all directions, and when they looked up, they saw football-sized toxic scorpions swarming from all sides. They turned pale: "Dear god, these are Corpse Scorpions! My god, Wang Qiang was right, there is danger here!"
Elder Xiao's face also changed; he waved his hand: "Flee immediately!"
But soon, the group found themselves deep within the rocky area, already surrounded by Corpse Scorpions.
A female fox's face showed terror: "Wang Qiang was right, there truly was danger here. Why didn't we listen to Wang Qiang?"
The crowd felt a rush of regret in their hearts...
