Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 388 2 battlefields

"Fox..." Apart from Yuan Rong himself, Yun was the only one among the three people present who truly understood the meaning of it.

Could it be that Yuan Rong had already seen through the fox's true identity? Could it be that he already knew the relationship between Ji Anni and the fox?

Yun Zhen's heart began to beat wildly amidst Yuan Rong's creepy laughter. He wanted to rush to Ji Anni's side immediately, but he couldn't break through the siege of the snakes. Now, he couldn't even move a bit, let alone break through.

Yuan Rong's laughter gradually became smaller and farther away. Although Yun Zhen and others could not tell where Yuan Rong was, they could tell from his laughter that he was leaving the dungeon. However, the black snakes around him did not disperse because of Yuan Rong's departure. With the weak moonlight, Yun Zhen only saw a dark cloud-like black evil spirit flying away from the air, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Monster, don't even think about escaping!" Although Xuanjizi had no strength left, his momentum was not weakened at all, and his roar shook the sky.

But his roar did not stop Yuan Rong, it only caused a commotion among the snakes.

Yun Zhen frowned and bit his lower lip. He had to concentrate and increase his magic power by double to suppress these angry venomous snakes.

"Master!" Xuanjizi saw Yun Zhen’s pale face and hurried over to help.

He imitated Yun Zhen and injected his own true energy into the flame, making it burn more vigorously.

But this is not a long-term solution. Even if the two of them work together, they will definitely not last more than half an hour...

After Yuan Rong left the dungeon, he followed the evil spirit and crawled straight towards Wenhua Courtyard.

Yuan Rong has now lost his own body. He must rely on the bodies of other living beings to move freely. Otherwise, he is just a ball of black miasma. He has no weight and no sense of touch. Not only can he not take revenge, he can't even live a normal life.

He didn't want to live in a black snake's body for his whole life, and he wanted to get a human-shaped shikigami. But compared to animal shikigami, human-shaped shikigami are rarer, so he can only move in the form of a black snake temporarily.

After using the forbidden technique to merge with the shikigami, Yuan Rong's sense of smell for monsters became more acute. He sensed the breath of a fox demon in the direction of Wenhuayuan. Before this, he only vaguely felt that there was a fox demon lurking in the palace, but he never knew the specific location of the fox demon.

Today was the first time he determined the approximate location of the fox demon through its demonic energy.

Of course, this was not only because Yuan Rong's magic power had increased, but also because the demonic energy was concentrated in Wenhua Courtyard. Around just a small room, there were three fox demons: Ji Annie, Ming Huangzi, and Yan Niang. It was difficult not to be noticed by the Taoist priest.

Yuan Rong's goal was to subdue the fox demon as a shikigami to fight against the ghost king, rather than to destroy it. So after arriving at Wenhuayuan Taoyuan, he did not attack the lone Prince Ming, but took advantage of Ji Anni and Yan Niang's departure to bite Prince Ming unconscious and drag him out of the window, then transformed himself into Prince Ming to attract Ji Anni and Zhao Ji's attention, and waited for an opportunity to subdue the two fox demons.

The plan went very successfully. Not only did he subdue Yan Niang, he also tied up Ji Anni tightly, making it impossible for her to resist.

Yuan Rong, who had transformed into a snake, could not use his fingers to form seals or draw spells. The only thing he could do was to move his lips and recite the spell.

Affected by the demon-killing spell, Yan Niang and Ji Anni felt a heart-wrenching pain all over their bodies. But it was also thanks to this pain that Ji Anni's chaotic consciousness finally cleared up.

Only a scream of "Ah!" came from the depths of Ji Annie's throat.

An unknown power in the body seemed to be awakened, surging and boiling restlessly, ready to burst out.

The body temperature suddenly rises, and the hot blood flows to transport this heat to all parts of the body.

"Zhao Ji..." Yan Niang saw that Ji Anni's whole body was red and seemed to be abnormal. She stopped attacking Yuan Rong and stared at her closely.

Ji Annie's abnormal body temperature was so hot that even poisonous snakes didn't dare to touch her.

The black snake slowly dissipated, and Ji Anni finally regained her freedom. She opened her eyes, and her pupils were no longer black, but turned into a terrifying blood red, as if a blazing fire was burning in her eyes. Not only her eyes, but every inch of her skin was red, like a piece of red-hot iron, so hot that others dared not touch or approach her.

Yan Niang and Yuan Rong stepped back subconsciously. The scorching temperature and bright red made them dare not look directly at Ji Anni.

Yuan Rong was stunned, and couldn't believe that a small fox demon could have such power. He continued to chant the spell, trying to calm Ji Anni down through the power of the spell.

But now Ji Anni is no longer an ordinary little demon that Yuan Rong can subdue with a spell. Xue Lan's blood in her body has been boiled and is flowing through her body at an alarming speed.

Soon, Ji Annie grew fox ears and a fox tail, her nails gradually grew longer, and even her face was covered with a layer of white fox fur.

"Xue...Lan..." Looking at Ji Anni, whose body had changed drastically, Yan Niang couldn't help but murmur this long-lost name.

Ji Anni now is like Xue Lan surrounded by flames!

"Xue Lan?" Although Yuan Rong had never heard of this name, he had already realized from Yan Niang's expression that this Xue Lan was definitely a powerful character like the "Fox King", and her power was far superior to Yan Niang's.

Because after seeing Xue Lan, Yan Niang's face showed obvious surprise and respect. This is a general rule in animal society. When facing an object stronger than itself, animals like foxes will show a look of fear and obedience.

"No!" Yan Niang suddenly rushed up, ignoring the scorching heat, and bit Ji Anni's shoulder tightly.

A stream of blood gushed out, and Ji Anni's clothes were dyed red.

This trick seemed to be effective, and Ji Anni's expression gradually returned to normal. She no longer looked like Xue Lan, but returned to being herself.

"I didn't expect there would be a group of fox demons in the palace. Haha, that's perfect. If there's one, I'll take one. If there's two, I'll take a pair!"

Yuan Rong burst into laughter, regained his spirit, and launched a new round of attack on Ji Anni.

But just as he jumped into the air, a hand stretched out from midair and grabbed him tightly by the seven inches.

The hand that suddenly stretched out was actually Ji Annie's.

Ji Anni reacted so quickly that even Yan Niang couldn't see clearly.

When Yan Niang came to her senses, Yuan Rong's neck was already firmly grasped by Ji Anni.

Yuan Rong, whose vitals were controlled, opened his mouth wide, but he could no longer bite Ji Anni's hand. Not only that, he also lost the ability to recite the spell. The other black snakes could not get Yuan Rong's orders, and all huddled in place, no longer attacking.

The battlefield, which was extremely fierce a moment ago, has gradually cooled down.

Yuan Rong used his slender body to wrap around Ji Anni's arms, and Ji Anni frowned in pain.

At this time, although Ji Anni's consciousness was her own, her appearance still maintained the fox form just now. The fox ears and fox tail had not disappeared, and the fox hair on her face was still clearly visible, just like standing on two legs like an orc.

"Where is Yun Zhen? ... Where is Yun Zhen?" Ji Anni wanted to break Yuan Rong's neck. The corner of her eyes fell on the broken pieces of black stone on the ground, and the uneasiness in her heart surged again.

Yuan Rong, whose neck was strangled, was unable to speak, and could only squeeze out a few harsh sneers from between his teeth.

"Zhao Ji, don't talk to him anymore, just kill him." Yan Niang glared at Yuan Rong angrily. If this man is not removed, he will become a big trouble in the future!

Ji Anni, who had never killed anyone before, couldn't bring herself to do it. Even when facing a cruel enemy, she still couldn't bear to take his life. Moreover, with Ji Anni's current ability, it was impossible for her to kill Yuan Rong with her bare hands. Ji Anni's arms were almost broken by Yuan Rong's slender body, and she was almost unable to use any strength. As long as Yuan Rong struggled hard, he would be able to break free from her shackles.

Seeing that Ji Anni was hesitant to make a move, Yan Niang simply pounced on him and bit Yuan Rong's body.

Yuan Rong let out a sharp scream, shook his body, and struggled to break free from Ji Annie's right hand.

Yuan Rong, who regained his freedom, was already exhausted because he had to face both Ji Anni and Yun Zhen at the same time. The reason why he was easily captured by Ji Anni just now was because he had to spend all his energy to control the snakes in the dungeon.

After Ji Anni drained away most of his energy, he no longer had the energy to control hundreds of venomous snakes, and had to order the snakes in the dungeon to retreat...

In the dungeon, Xuanjizi discovered that the number of poisonous snakes had suddenly decreased, and he shouted in surprise, "Master, are there fewer poisonous snakes?"

After his reminder, Yun Zhen opened his eyes, looked carefully at the snakes around him, and said nothing.

It was obvious at a glance that the number of snakes had indeed decreased. But... what did this mean? Did it mean that Yuan Rong was subdued by someone? Who else had the ability to do this? ... Could it be Ji Anni? Could it be that the demon fox blood in her body had awakened?

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen not only couldn't feel happy, but his mood became even heavier.

After a while, there were even fewer snakes, only about a hundred left, and the number was still decreasing.

There is only one real Shikigami snake, which is the black snake that Yuan Rong lives in. The rest of the poisonous snakes are illusions created by Yuan Rong through Taoism. These black snakes are not real poisonous snakes, but illusions. When Yuan Rong's power is strong, their number is large; when Yuan Rong's power decreases, their number is small.

When the number of black snakes was reduced to fifty, Yun Zhen increased his magic power, summoned a huge fire, and burned all the black snakes to ashes.

The three people who were finally rescued were all injured. Liuguang, who had no Taoist magic to protect him, was so deeply poisoned that he was on the verge of life and death.

Yun Zhen helped Liu Guang up from the ground and told Xuan Jizi, "Take him to the doctor quickly. It should still be in time."

"What about you, Master?" Xuanjizi realized from Yun Zhen's words that he didn't seem to intend to go with them.

Yun Zhen hurriedly walked towards the prison door, "I still have some things that I'm worried about..."

He couldn't just say that he was going to Wenhua Courtyard. If Xuanjizi saw Ji Anni transforming into a fox, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.

Xuanjizi knew without asking that Yun Zhen’s departure must be related to the word "fox" that Yuan Rong had just said.
