Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153

When Elsa approached the White Fox, her form had already reverted back to that of a small child.

Elsa gently stroked the huge White Fox’s head, "I’m sorry, this time it was my fault. From now on, I will live not just for myself but for you as well." After speaking, Elsa summoned her strength and quickly patted the White Fox on the head several times.

The Magical Beast White Fox, completely defenseless, whimpered a few times and died.

Seeing the fox dead, Du You hurriedly flew over and embraced Elsa’s body. At this moment, Elsa was exceptionally weak. Du You scanned her body with his spirit and felt the severity of Elsa’s injuries.

There were cracks in her organs, and a powerful force was spreading throughout Elsa’s body. This force came from a fifth-tier Magical Beast, much stronger than Elsa’s own power, so this force was the most troubling.

Du You quickly made Elsa drink a bottle of medicine and felt her injuries begin to heal, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. "Look at you, always causing trouble for yourself. This injury is quite severe."

With such injuries, even a Professional like Elsa couldn’t recover without several days of rest. And this was just because the fox did not specialize in attacking; otherwise, Elsa would have been dead. In front of a fifth-tier Magical Beast, even the strongest fourth-tier is as fragile as a glass bottle. Du You had a deep understanding of this from his past experiences.

"I did it, big brother," Elsa said with a radiant smile on her face.

It felt as if Du You’s heart was being tugged. What was it that made this girl so persistent?

Reflecting on it, Du You, although he also had moments of desperation, mostly followed the principle of clinging to life. He never engaged in such direct confrontations with enemies he knew were stronger than himself.

"Wait a moment." Du You picked up Elsa and was about to leave when Elsa suddenly spoke.

"What’s wrong? I will take these foxes back."

"No, it’s not that. These are White Fox Magical Beasts after all; never mind their belongings. I want to bury them. Besides, I didn’t slaughter all the White Foxes; I left a few young ones."

Du You was startled, then he walked to a hidden spot behind the hills and indeed found a few young foxes there. The smallest fox must have just been born, not yet having opened its eyes, while the biggest was simply staring at Du You with pure eyes, not knowing what was before it. Its small size and the unfamiliar sight made the young fox somewhat frightened.

"Five of them, okay, these are not adult ones, and killing them would be pointless; we might as well take them back and raise them."

Raising White Fox Magical Beasts was already a sacred task for the Fox People Clan. Elsa didn’t have much of a sense of belonging to the Fox People Clan, but the kinship that stemmed from the depths of the soul could not be erased.

Du You summoned his Undead Gorilla, first controlling the earth to bury the foxes and the bloodstains on the ground, compressing them so that no other animals could find them. Then, he put the young foxes in a box and flew back to Holy Fox City with Elsa.

In the following days, Du You took care of Elsa in Holy Fox City without going anywhere. Three days later, when Elsa’s injuries had healed, she handed over the item she obtained that day to Du You.

"The White Fox Altar? It turned out to be a branch of the armed forces building. The name made it sound like a special building or a territory equipment." Du You looked at the blueprint, which was what Elsa had desperately fought for.

Moreover, this altar is not just fourth-tier; there are words indicating it’s upgradeable behind it, which means the altar falls between fourth-tier and fifth-tier. As long as the territory reaches fifth-tier, it can be upgraded to fifth-tier with very few resources, and by then, I’ll receive a fifth-tier branch of the armed forces. I won’t have to go through the trouble of creating it myself; it will generate on its own. This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Without a second thought, Du You immediately handed over the blueprint to others for construction. As a Superior Lord, Du You’s words may not carry as much weight as Elsa’s in Holy Fox City, but his authority is higher.

The construction of the White Fox Altar was completed in one day, and at this time, Elsa had returned to her usual spirited self, bouncing around and looking like her former self. The development of Holy Fox Canyon was accelerating, becoming increasingly robust.

Deep within Holy Fox Canyon, many areas that had been cleared were now taking on a new look. If this continues, I fear it won’t be long before these foxes can only survive by leaving the canyon or living outside the territory limits.

"Quick, open it so I can have a look," Elsa said excitedly, staring at the newly built altar.

But Du You found the altar a bit peculiar; a hemispherical object with a giant fox statue on top. The inside of the hemisphere seemed to be hollow, like it could be used for breeding foxes.

Once constructed, it seemed as if foxes could come out from the inside.

White Fox Altar (Tier 4, Upgradeable):

Level 30 White Fox Magical Beast: 500 per month, full price 200 green Crystal Coins each

Level 40 White Fox Magical Beast: 200 per month, full price 200 yellow Crystal Coins each

"It really is upgradeable, between the peak of tier four and three, isn’t it? Let’s produce some and see," Du You said.

With a wave of his hand, he let the altar produce this month’s military force. What Du You hadn’t anticipated happened—the military strength tally increased by seven hundred.

"What? These foxes aren’t combat pets but a branch of the armed forces?" Du You had indeed not expected that these White Foxes would be considered a branch of the armed forces, and that the White Fox Magical Beasts were recognized as members of the territory’s populace.

It appears that the White Fox holds no ordinary status within the Fox People Clan, resulting in this peculiar situation. Foxes, which would be considered combat pets in any other territory, are formal branches of the armed forces here, with status equivalent to the regular Fox People soldiers.

"What’s so strange about that? We and the White Fox Magical Beasts are the same," Elsa remarked, hinting at a matter of perception.

"Anyway, let’s test out these guys’ battle capabilities first."

Du You had the White Fox Magical Beasts start the combat trials. These White Fox Magical Beasts weren’t particularly strong fighters, nor were they very weak. They had magic, mostly for support; aside from a defensive skill, their only combat ability was to shoot a Light Ball for long-range attacks. Their attack power wasn’t great, barely meeting the standard for a fourth-tier Magical Beast.

"How come they seem like some mediocre Warriors mixed with half-baked priests?" Du You’s expression changed as he watched. These foxes weren’t as good in close combat as Warriors, and their magic fell short of priests’, but they were capable of both.

This gave the impression of a traditional Magic Warrior, jack of all trades, master of none. Troublesome in one-on-one fights, but certainly not very strong. Perhaps they would perform better on the battlefield.
