Chapter 401: Continue to Live
I don’t know how long I cried, until I was heartbroken and lost consciousness, and Hongyue fell to the ground.
She had a long dream. In the dream, all her relatives were safe and sound, living a peaceful and tranquil life without being disturbed by anyone and without conflict with the world.
Suddenly, a group of villains broke into the dream and broke everything. The picture was distorted, the color gradually turned scarlet, the whole world began to break apart, and all the beautiful things were scattered all over the ground.
"Why? Why!" Hongyue shouted loudly, but was unable to stop anything.
"Report to the master, there seems to be a complete red fox here." A cold and ruthless voice suddenly broke into the dream.
Hongyue felt threatened, and at the same time, she seemed to see herself reuniting with her deceased relatives in heaven.
Just like that, leave quietly like that. If they want eyes, then give them. Hong Yue, who is as dead as ashes, has lost all hope. Perhaps death is also a kind of relief.
The cold footsteps were getting closer and closer, but Hongyue no longer cared. Until the footsteps stopped in front of her, a voice came from the distance.
"Yue'er, live on, you must live on..." The voice was ethereal and pleasant, like a clear spring, dripping into Hongyue's heart.
"Mother! Mother!" In the dream, Hongyue tried to find the source of the voice, but to no avail. Only the voice of "Yue'er, live" echoed in her ears.
A ripple appeared in the originally dead heart.
Her life was earned by her parents at the cost of their lives. She couldn't die, absolutely couldn't die! She still had a mission of revenge, how could it end here so easily!
At this moment, Hongyue suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the soldiers holding iron weapons with hatred.
There were still traces of dried blood on the small piece of iron, and the source was self-evident.
Every spot of blood strongly stimulated Hongyue's nerves, and she felt that somewhere in her body was about to explode.
The soldier was startled by Hongyue's sudden awakening. The iron weapon in his hand loosened for a moment, but he quickly tightened it again and grinned.
"There's a living red fox here! Come and take a look!" the soldier shouted excitedly, attracting more soldiers to come over.
Catching a live red fox is undoubtedly a great achievement. Nowadays, red foxes have been hunted almost to extinction across the country, and there is no way to ensure the subsequent demand for red fox eyes.
If you can catch a live red fox and hand it over to your superiors for research, you will definitely receive a generous reward.
The other soldiers heard the sound and rushed over immediately. Seeing the trembling Red Moon, they raised their weapons and approached her...
In the bustling city, these people, those hands that tainted morality with greed, cruelly deprived their fellow tribesmen of their light. Hongyue tried her best to dispel the tragic images in her mind, but those memories were like nightmares, deeply imprinted in her heart and could not be erased.
Hongyue howled to the sky, his voice filled with sorrow and anger. Even the profit-seeking guards could not stand the tragic roar and retreated silently.
Then, she lowered her head. In her red fox form, the tip of her tail was bright red like blood, reflecting her scarlet pupils. She grinned, revealing her sharp fangs, and a low roar echoed in the air. Her claws gripped the ground tightly, leaving a deep mark on the hard asphalt road.
The guards looked at the red moon and could not help but feel a little scared. Although this red fox was an alien, if it got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Whoever can subdue that red fox will be promoted two levels!" Seeing that some people wanted to retreat, the team leader shouted in encouragement.
Hearing this, the originally hesitant guards instantly became more motivated and stared at Hongyue with sharp eyes.
At this moment, Hong Yue only had hatred in her heart, and her initial fear was long gone. Facing the heavy siege, she was not afraid at all.
Hong Yue roared again, the sound was so deafening that it almost broke the guards' eardrums. They all dropped their weapons and covered their ears.
However, this is just the beginning.
Hongyue's eyes swept over these people one by one. It was they who took away everything from her. It was they who planted the seeds of all her pain.
Her parents had warned her to be kind and not to hurt others easily, but at this moment, facing these people who were more brutal than beasts, she, Hongyue, could not forgive!
Hong Yue roared, and countless threads as thin as spider silk spread out from her body and quickly wrapped around the guards. These threads silently tied up their limbs, and the guards didn't notice it. They only felt a little itchy on their wrists and ankles, but they didn't care.
Hongyue knew very well that this was puppetry, a spell that could possess evil spirits. Soon, the guards began to lose control, some crying, some laughing wildly, as if they were caught in a chaotic carnival.
Hong Yue pulled her body, and the guards' movements instantly stopped, as if they had lost their souls. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she changed back to human form, moved her fingers lightly, and controlled those imperceptible puppet strings.
The guards seemed possessed and began to attack each other until they were exhausted. They picked up the tools used to dig out eyes from the ground and stabbed each other's eyes...
Hongyue looked at this familiar scene, but she felt no pleasure of revenge, only lingering pain in her heart.
After completing all this, Hongyue left this land of death. She didn't want to stay here any longer.
Before leaving, she lit a big fire and burned everything here to ashes.
This was the first time Hong Yue performed puppetry. Originally, this skill was to be taught by the elders of the tribe on the Red Fox's 500th birthday, but she only had 200 years and no one taught her this skill.
Moreover, to practice this technique, one must make a contract with the evil spirits, but Hongyue did not go through this step, but directly summoned the souls of hell, which shows her extraordinary talent.
Hong Yue's puppetry was so powerful for the first time, it was obvious that his bloodline had awakened.
After experiencing great grief and feeling as if her soul had died once, her Red Fox bloodline finally awakened. Unfortunately, she failed to protect what she should have protected and to avenge what she should have avenged.
……
"Is this the reason why the Red Fox Clan was exterminated?" Feiyu whispered to himself after listening to Hongyue's story.
How could this happen? The Red Fox Clan came to the human world, but the ending was so tragic. Feiyu was puzzled.
Why are the eyes of the red fox tribe helpful in becoming an immortal? It is simply a fantasy for mortals to become immortals without working hard on their internal skills and relying only on external elixirs.
Because of that ridiculous suggestion, the entire Red Fox clan suffered a devastating disaster. It was simply unforgivable!
Zhao Gao and Ying Zheng were the culprits, and Feiyu had already remembered them in his heart. When Zhang Liang wanted to plunder Zhao Gao's wealth, he felt sorry for Zhao Gao, but now it seems that Zhao Gao's death is not a pity.
"Hongyue, don't be sad. We want to avenge the deceased red fox clan!" Feiyu said in a firm tone.
Seeing Hongyue's desperate look, Feiyu didn't know how to comfort her. He could only use hatred to ignite the fire in Hongyue's heart, giving her the strength to continue living.
