Chapter 1595: The Smell of Meatballs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang was not too worried about Foxy. Even if she was significantly weakened, she would still be far too strong for those superhumans. After all, she was already a God, and what she ate every day were dishes prepared by him, a God Emperor.
Her flesh had evolved to a level that was far beyond that of an ordinary spirit beast, making her one of the top beings in the universe. Even if she laid on the ground and let those superhumans attack, she would be fine. At most, she would lose a few strands of hair.
It was the same for Bu Fang. His flesh was so formidable now that it was many times stronger than that of an ancient deity. Even if he was struck by a nuclear bomb, he was likely to be unscathed.
Xiao Ai was somewhat speechless. Bu Fang’s indifferent words left her a little overwhelmed. Zhang He, who kept a carp, was a B-class Beastmaster, an existence as fearsome as a B-class superhuman.
In today’s Earth where spiritual energy had increased dramatically, he belonged to a group of very powerful people. However, Bu Fang claimed that he had killed the Beastmaster in such a casual manner...
“You must be kidding me!” Xiao Ai forced a smile. At this moment, the harmless-looking Bu Fang seemed to have turned into a demon in her eyes. She glanced at him and his expressionless face, then at the handcuff on her wrist. For a moment, she wished she could strangle Chief Luo to death.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly, then he reached out a hand. His fingers were long and fair like that of a pianist. With a click, he broke the handcuff with a twist, as easily as if he was tearing a sheet of paper.
The smile on Xiao Ai’s face froze. “You... You behave yourself! I’m a C-class superhuman! You... Don’t you think about doing bad things!” She was so scared that she wanted to cry. Her lips were trembling, and she could hardly hold the laptop in her hands.
Bu Fang was too lazy to waste his breath with her, so he lifted a hand and pointed a finger at her forehead. With a buzzing sound, an invisible wave rippled out, and she immediately slumped to the ground with her head bowed, losing her consciousness.
With hands clasped behind his back, Bu Fang started toward the top of the mountain. From the woods around him, he kept hearing the sound of things moving at high speed. Clearly, many people were rushing toward the mountaintop as well. He narrowed his eyes and continued at a casual pace—he was not in a hurry.
Looking at the twisting path that led up the mountain before him, Bu Fang was a little confused. He had no idea if this was real or just an illusion. Or was it his mental demon?
If all these were real, where was the Chaotic Universe of which Earth belonged? He was sure that it was not the same universe where the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was located. In that case, which Chaotic Universe did Earth belong to? He frowned and decided not to think further for the time being.
Bu Fang walked on, and before long, he reached the top of the mountain. Shrimpy, who had been slouching on his shoulder, suddenly perked up and kept squeaking. He gave its head a rub and said, “Have you sensed Foxy? Call her for me,” he said.
Eyes lighting up, Shrimpy turned into a golden ray, shot up into the sky, and hovered in midair. Then, an invisible sound wave began to emit from its body and spread out in all directions.
In the woods, birds flapped their wings and other animals bolted out of their nests, filling the air with a sudden clamor. The next moment, a roar exploded out from the mountaintop, then a white figure emerged and sped between the trees.
“There it is! The nine-tailed fox!”
“Good heavens! It’s a real nine-tailed fox! A legendary spirit beast!”
“I want to tame it! I want to be its master!”
The surrounding Beastmasters who had been watching the nine-tailed fox all went crazy, and they began to run frantically toward Foxy.
Meanwhile, Chief Luo and his men perked up as well. Each of them was holding a silver gun. Firearms were known to be the best weapons to deal with Beastmasters because their flesh was weak—a bullet could easily end their lives.
What made Beastmasters strong was their ability to tame spirit beasts who had mutated because of the revival of spiritual energy. Controlling spirit beasts to fight was their strength.
Superhumans, on the other hand, were people with peculiar powers that strengthened their bodies and gave them stronger strength, so they were not afraid of firearms.
Chief Luo was an existence feared by Beastmasters. He was a superhuman, and together with his firearms, he was like a nightmarish existence to them. However, they would never give up on catching the nine-tailed fox even with his presence.
Clutching a gun, Chief Luo’s head was blazing as he stared excitedly at the nine-tailed fox in the distance. The fox’s nine tails were twitching from side to side, its hair as white as snow and glowing beautifully in the night.
“So beautiful... It’s hard for anyone to desecrate such an amazing creature. It’s a pity that it was born in the wrong era,” Chief Luo said with mixed emotions. Then, he turned to his men and said with a frown, “Alright, let’s move out! The nine-tailed fox’s spiritual energy has reduced to A-class. We’ll have the greatest success rate if we act now!”
At his order, the men behind him began to move. A few superhumans rushed into the woods with silver guns in hand, covering themselves with trees while approaching Foxy.
With a humming sound, a superhuman walked out from behind a tree—his body turned completely transparent. At the same time, another superhuman transformed into a puddle of water and slowly crept toward Foxy.
“Haha! Do you really think you can capture the nine-tailed fox alone? The State Supernatural Agency is too ambitious!”
A whistle rang out. The next moment, a wolf with green eyes bolted out of the woods, charging toward the nine-tailed fox. As it ran, it grew larger and larger, and its hair turned hard and pointy like steel needles. Its huge paws kept pounding on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust as it shot toward at great speed.
“Dammit!” Chief Luo cursed, raised his hand, and waved it. A fireball immediately flew toward the wolf. With a rumble, it burst apart, disappearing into the air. “Attack!” he thundered.
At his voice, the hidden superhumans all showed themselves and leaped toward Foxy. However, none of them was as fast as the wolf. Before they could approach, it was already closing in on Foxy!
“Dammit! This is Liu Changhe, an A-class Beastmaster! How dare he show himself here!” Chief Luo’s face became very unsightly.
He had a feeling that the mission was going to fail. If he let Liu Changhe tame the nine-tailed fox, it was very likely that the Beastmaster would grow into an S-class existence and become a big problem for the State Supernatural Agency!
Under the cover of darkness, a figure watched excitedly as the wolf charged toward the nine-tailed fox. He knew that once he tamed the fox, his ability would be improved again, and soon the world would have another S-class Beastmaster!
Suddenly, the man’s face froze. The wolf had closed in on the fox and was opening its mouth when the latter raised a paw and smashed it with a casual swat. A popping sound rang out as if a balloon had burst, and the wolf exploded into pieces in just the blink of an eye.
Chief Luo and the surrounding superhumans froze, while Liu Changhe appeared dumbstruck.
The wolf’s huge body fell to the ground with a crash. Blood puddled under it, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Everyone was stunned, while the superhumans getting ready to approach felt chills run through them. Didn’t someone say that the strength of this nine-tailed fox had been suppressed by the Beast-binding Rope to A-class? If that was the case, how did it manage to kill an A-class wolf with just one swat of its paw?
Chief Luo sucked in a cold breath. “Retreat! Retreat at once!” The nine-tailed fox could now be listed as an extremely dangerous spirit beast. He knew that that swat was impossible without S-class power.
The nine-tailed fox rolled its eyes and opened its mouth as if it was yawning. The next moment, it dashed off, its nine tails swaying in the air as it vanished from where it was.
“Chief... Shall we chase after it?” A few men looked at their chief, hesitating.
The flames on Chief Luo’s head were gone. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Yes! We can’t let the fox fall into others’ hands, especially those from other countries!”
The next moment, a group of men ran in the direction where the nine-tailed fox had disappeared.
Foxy dashed through the woods at high speed, gleaming like snow. Her nose was twitching as if she had smelled something. Following the scent, she kept running. Suddenly, she saw flashes of light in the woods around her and heard a rapid popping sound.
Bullets were being fired at her. They came at great speed, but when they were about to pierce her, they bounced away and fell to the ground. Foxy glanced around and stopped abruptly.
In the distance, superhumans in black anti-exposure suits emerged from the woods, each holding a strange weapon. Their leaders whispered to each other in a foreign language. The next moment, one of them waved his hand, signaling others to strike.
At this moment, Chief Luo arrived. When he saw the group of strangers, his expression changed dramatically. “It’s a foreign supernatural organization! Dammit! Why hasn’t the reinforcement from headquarters arrived yet?!” He was nervous.
Foxy cocked her head and squinted at the superhumans in anti-exposure suits, who were slowly closing in on her. A vast amount of energy began to rapidly converge in her mouth, and a delicious aroma gradually spread out of it.
Everyone’s expressions became somewhat odd.
“What’s that aroma? Why does it smell so good?”
“It smells like meatballs... Who is eating meatballs in the middle of nowhere?”
“Can meatballs smell so delicious? Where can I get them?”
The surrounding people looked at each other. They had not yet realized that the aroma came from the fox’s mouth.
Just when Foxy was getting ready to shoot out explosive meatballs, a clear sound of footsteps rang out. That gave the superhumans present pause, and they all squinted at the figure who stepped between them and the fox.
It was a skinny young man with close-cropped hair and a blank face. Step by step, he walked toward the nine-tailed fox.
“Eh? Who is this? Is he a Beastmaster?”
“I don’t think so. I know all the Beastmasters in Jiangdong, but I never met this guy before!”
“I don’t know him... Could he be a Beastmaster from another province? Or is he a Beastmaster from Sakura?”
Many people were frowning and muttering. The superhumans in anti-exposure suits stopped where they were. They were determined to capture the nine-tailed fox.
However, the faces of Chief Luo and all the team members behind him became very strange.
“This... Isn’t he the guy we met just now?!”
“I thought Chief had cuffed him with Xiao Ai?”
“Xiao Ai said that he doesn’t have any spiritual energy and should be an ordinary man... Since when did an ordinary man become so bold?!”
The team members whispered to each other, while Chief Luo’s face grew more and more unsightly as he watched Bu Fang walk step by step toward the nine-tailed fox, who was an S-class spirit beast.
“Don’t go any closer! Quick, turn around and leave!” Chief Luo shouted.
However, even as his voice rang out, the foreign superhumans in the distance sneered and pulled their triggers.
A rapid popping sound filled the air as a volley of bullets shot toward the nine-tailed fox as well as the young man. If there was no miracle, the young man would be riddled with bloody holes in a flash and... die!
Chief Luo’s face darkened. The team members behind him and the Beastmasters hiding in the woods were angry as well. They could not believe that these foreign superhumans were so unruly and had even brought weapons into their country!
The corners of Bu Fang’s lips curled upward slightly, while Shrimpy stood up on his shoulder, waving its legs excitedly. When Foxy saw him, her eyes softened instantly. Bowing her head, she came up to Bu Fang, rubbed her head on his cheek, then stuck out her tongue and licked his face. She looked quite docile.
Meanwhile, shrill whistling sounds rang out around them as bullets arced through the air and rapidly closed in on them.
Just when everyone thought Bu Fang was going to die, the bullets suddenly stopped and froze in midair just one inch away from him...
