Chapter 860: Chapter 860

"Damn it, you, you will be punished." Two Fox People glanced at each other and suddenly scattered, trying to escape.

"Don’t let them get away, or it will be troublesome," Elsa suddenly shouted loudly.

Faster than Elsa’s words were Lin Yushi’s arrows. Two arrows flew out, instantly piercing the ground, and in the next moment, the Swallowing Demon Vine was summoned. However, this was a weakened version, only a third-tier Swallowing Demon Vine, and it did not perform any swallowing.

Gray Magic Vine, tinged with streaks of blood, twisted and wound itself around the two men. Had it not been for their armor saving their lives, their blood would be drained by now. Even so, the two Fox People, not known for their strength, were unable to break free and could only remain trapped.

Unexpectedly to Du You, Elsa suddenly ran over. In Du You’s incredulous gaze, Elsa raised her two little fists, and with a punch to the back of the two men’s hearts, her fists shone with white light.

This seemed to be neither Dou Qi nor Magic Power of Light, but rather a power Du You had never seen before.

This power easily penetrated the Fox People’s armor, which offered no defense at all. The next moment, the Fox People’s faces changed, they spat out blood, and were just like that beaten to death.

Elsa, who had just killed two people, ran up to Du You as if she had done nothing, lifted her head, and looked at Du You with a face that was both innocent and pitiful, her big eyes blinking.

Du You and the sisters exchanged glances, wondering whether it was Elsa, the little fox, who was good at acting, or if it was just the way of the Barbarian Kingdom. Although killing was common here, this child didn’t look very old.

Fox People and humans are different; although Elsa looked about eleven or twelve years old, Fox People generally have shorter lifespans and therefore mature faster, usually reaching adulthood by eleven or twelve. Elsa’s current appearance, probably only about eight or nine years old, was definitely still a child among humans.

"Now if you go that way, you will soon reach the outskirts of a human town, and beyond that is the Divine Flame Empire."

Du You frowned, finally pointing south and saying to Elsa.

"Big brother, you saved me, can I follow you from now on?" Elsa said with an adorable expression.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to go study the human systems? Why do you want to follow me?"

"I studied human systems to improve the living conditions of our Fox People Clan, but now I can’t return, and studying seems useless. It’s better to work on improving my own strength so that I can protect myself in the future."

Well, this little fox was quite smart, knowing what she learned for. If this were in Du You’s previous life, such a person would definitely achieve great things, Du You was sure of it. Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

"It’s not suitable for you to , after all, you are a White Fox," Du You said, exasperated.

"There’s nothing unsuitable about it, I can disguise myself. Plus, I’m not without strength; I am a Saint Fist Master."

Saint Fist Master? What kind of occupation was that, even though it seemed a bit peculiar? But when Elsa had attacked earlier, Du You could feel that Elsa was only second-tier, far from reaching the third tier.

Of course, being at this level as an underage Fox Person was already exceptional, even among the Beastmen, it was rare to see such talent. Such a person being chased by her own clansmen was telling of the things she must have done.

"You guys must travel frequently to the human empire, right? If you take me with you, I can have a look too. Even if you don’t take me, I’ll follow you anyway, so don’t even think about shaking me off,"

Elsa saw that Du You seemed unmoved and then pointed at the two and said, "These two are guardians of the Fox People’s Holy Temple. If people find out you killed them, you will definitely face the full encirclement and suppression of the Fox People Clan. The Fox People have many rituals and many friends, and by then, the entire Barbarian Kingdom will be after you."

This smiley, threatening demeanor was truly unexpected—this was indeed a clever little vixen.

Du You made a gesture, and the two sisters slowly moved to surround the fox in the middle.

"Alright, you can follow me, but you must sign a contract with me." Du You pulled out a contract and unfolded it, upon seeing which, Elsa’s face puffed up in anger.

"Big brother, you’re so mean. How could you bring out this kind of contract?" Elsa said, feigning pity. There was no choice; this was a very harsh slave contract, and once signed, she feared she would never be able to escape it.

Though the Fox People were formidable, from Du You’s appearance, it was clear he was a fourth-tier priest, and he even had the teeth of a fourth-tier Magical Beast with him, not a few at that. To break such a contract, the cost would be enormous.

Instead of that, the Fox People would definitely choose to kill them all, which would be better than wasting resources.

"Really, aren’t you very admiring of human culture? I can tell you that we are humans, specially here for training. Now you know our secret, so what is your choice?"

"If, if I don’t agree, what will happen? Will you kill me?" Elsa looked even more pitiful.

Du You, smiling, shook his head and said, "Of course not, Elsa is too adorable."

Just as Elsa was about to smile, the continuation of Du You’s words made her expression stiffen.

"To hide our identities, we can only knock you out and leave overnight. Yep, right here. Guess who might find you?" Elsa looked as though she was about to cry. If it hadn’t been for her previous poor performance, the two sisters would have spoken out on Elsa’s behalf by now; this girl was not as simple as she appeared.

Elsa knew that if she were truly knocked out, she would be in danger. This place was close to the human border.

If captured by humans, her life would be incredibly miserable, she knew. If captured by other Beastmen, she might become a plaything or even be sent back to the Fox People.

Given her current situation, being sent back and thinking of the punishments, it would be worse than death.

Looking around, she saw the two sisters had already blocked any possible escape routes. Comparing their strengths, Elsa desperately realized she seemed to have no chance of escaping.

Having finally made up her mind, Elsa lowered her head in resignation. "Alright, I’ll sign, but you, my master, you must treat me a bit better in the future." Elsa’s pitiful look seemed genuine this time.

"Of course, but you don’t need to call me master; this is just a precaution."

"Great, then I’ll call you big brother from now on." This girl really knew how to distinguish other people’s faces. After interacting, Elsa also found that Du You seemed to be a very reasonable person.
