Demon King: Hero, don't run away!
Chapter 1503: Fluffy Tails
Due to historical legacy issues, the Goddess Sect of the Wansheng Republic is somewhat different from those in other countries.
But under the communication facilitated by Ming Dalak, the Goddess Sect of the Wansheng Republic and the Goddess Sects of other countries have overcome their differences and re-established connections.
Only then were Yang Yu and his team able to use the Teleportation Array to reach the Wansheng Republic.
Unfortunately, the Goddess Sect in the Wansheng Republic is not as prosperous as elsewhere, its presence is scattered and irregular.
If one is near a Goddess Sect church, it’s convenient, but in remote areas, they still have to rely on Lotcar for transportation.
Through several teleportation arrays, Yang Yu and his companions arrived at Baihua City to visit Ming Dalak and collect the Memory Crystal recording the battle of the Red Flame Monarch Ammonval.
The contents recorded in the Memory Crystal can be replicated; Ming Dalak initially planned to send someone to deliver the duplicated Memory Crystal to Yang Yu.
To prevent any unexpected issues, Yang Yu ultimately decided to visit Baihua City himself and simultaneously review all the intelligence collected by the Wansheng Republic.
In this way, he wouldn’t occupy the precious communication resources of the Wansheng Republic.
Walking along the streets of Baihua City, beautiful flowers were blooming, in a riot of colors, their fragrance permeating the air.
Currently, it’s the most beautiful season in Baihua City, yet there are very few travelers here to admire it.
The streets aren’t deserted; after years of war with Luo Ze Empire, the people have become somewhat accustomed to living under pressure. Those capable are supporting the nation in any way they can to help it through challenges.
Such a harmonious scene is enough to demonstrate the excellence of the rulers.
As they walked through the streets, a tuft of fluffy fox tails caught Yang Yu and his companions’ eyes.
A seven-tailed fox subhuman was looking around, seemingly searching for something.
Perhaps due to picking up on Yang Yu and his companions’ footsteps, Xin Mang Madeline turned her head and locked eyes with Yang Yu.
Unable to hide her joy, Xin Mang Madeline pushed through the crowd, taking large strides, and approached Yang Yu and his companions:
"Long time no see.
Who would have thought, that I could meet you all again.
It’s a coincidence within a coincidence!
Are you here to support the country?
We have the same purpose!
With you here, it feels like anything is possible."
Lotcar paused, and Yang Yu tilted his head.
It had been a long time since he’d seen Xin Mang Madeline, and her tails had increased.
What surprised Yang Yu even more was that previously, Xin Mang’s attributes were quite average, but influenced by the Magic Tide, her attributes significantly rose.
Although Xin Mang’s level was just a little over one hundred and twenty, her average attributes were nearly exceeding four thousand, and her race had transformed from Beastmen (Multi-tailed Fox) to Nine-tailed Demon Fox (Seven-tailed).
Seeing Yang Yu tilt his head, Xin Mang Madeline thought Yang Yu had forgotten her, hurriedly saying:
"It’s me!
I am the leader of the adventure group Baihua Binfen.
I was the one who took you to visit the Blood Lion back then!
Just forgetting me like that, my heart aches faintly."
"I remember who you are, Miss Xin Mang.
Though I indeed came to support the country, our objectives are somewhat different.
If there are no urgent matters, we can chat next time when there’s a chance."
Yang Yu patted Lotcar’s back, and Lotcar resumed walking.
"Wait!" Xin Mang quickly stepped forward, "I indeed have an urgent matter here.
Because of this matter, I didn’t go to the front line with my partners but appeared here alone.
I’m not looking for you. To be precise, I’m looking for the Silver Wolf beneath you.
I heard the Silver Teeth Clan is transporting supplies, frequently entering and exiting the royal capital, which brought me here.
It’s just a few simple questions. I won’t take much of your time.
During your rest, I can say a few words to you."
Lotcar didn’t stop walking, but upon hearing Xin Mang’s words, slowed down unwillingly.
Having been apart from his clan for a long time, Lotcar was still concerned about his clan, wanting to know about its current situation.
Xin Mang seemed to be looking for his clan, and chatting with Xin Mang might provide insight into his clan’s situation.
Yang Yu could see Lotcar’s thoughts, so he didn’t immediately agree with Xin Mang, instead asking:
"You and your team, didn’t continue adventuring to become an S-Class adventure group, but chose to intervene in this war?"
Xin Mang nodded repeatedly, sharing her perspective: "This enemy is no ordinary foe; if we don’t defend seriously, we would definitely lose, wouldn’t we?
In the previous war, we were led on a merry chase by others.
This war is different, the opponent is truly evil, right?
It’s only right that we contribute our strength."
After a moment of thought, Yang Yu extended his hand to Xin Mang Madeline and said:
"Then hop on. Talk while we walk, and once you’ve asked your questions, leave."
Xin Mang beamed, took Yang Yu’s hand, and climbed onto Lotcar.
After reminiscing briefly with everyone, Xin Mang directly stated the reason she was staying in Baihua City.
Following the occurrence of the Magic Tide, Xin Mang’s body also underwent transformations; she could distinctly feel her strength greatly increasing, and within just two days, she went from having four tails to seven tails.
Explaining the situation to her companions, Xin Mang decided to split up with her team; the Deputy Leader of Baihua Binfen led the team to the front line, while she returned to her hometown to learn what she could from her limited clan members.
Xin Mang’s clan also sensed the peculiar transformations in Xin Mang, so they shared their clan’s legends about the Nine-tailed Demon Fox with her: 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The final form of a multi-tailed fox has nine tails; when having seven tails, one possesses the ability to transform into a Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
Xin Mang inquired about the specific method for transformation, but her clan members shook their heads. The Nine-tailed Demon Fox is extremely rare, a very ancient form, and no one today knows the exact transformation method; many merely consider it a legend.
Xin Mang faintly felt a power within her calling to her, perhaps it was the call for her transformation.
Thinking things over, Xin Mang decided to seek the transformation method herself, naturally considering the Silver Teeth Clan and giant dragons who possess transformation abilities.
Dragons are too far from the Wansheng Republic, seeking them would be a strenuous and potentially fruitless task, so Xin Mang began inquiring about the whereabouts of the Silver Teeth Clan.
Upon learning that they’re executing a supply transportation task, Xin Mang rushed over here without delay.
Yang Yu, when researching the legends of this world, indeed came across the Nine-tailed Demon Fox legend.
This world houses numerous races, created for various purposes, and as time has passed, interbreeding among different races has gradually diluted their abilities over tens of thousands of years.
Only races with strong clan consciousness or those living in isolated areas haven’t had their abilities overly diluted.
Those termed geniuses in this world may have, through a series of serendipitous events, successfully awakened a certain ability flowing within their blood.
The multi-tailed fox has already greatly declined; their path leads inevitably to mediocrity, becoming entirely mixed species with other races.
Yet that does not prevent certain elements within their bloodline from being triggered.
