As noon approached, two fox cries echoed from the mountains.
Fu Long slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Hu Ming.
The Flame Fox has appeared.
Chapter 8 The First Flame Stone
Flame Foxes are quite large; male Flame Foxes can grow up to 2.89 meters tall, while female Flame Foxes are around 2.56 meters tall.
Hunting the Flame Fox is quite difficult because this creature's first reaction when faced with danger is to run away.
They are very fast runners in the mountains. It would be difficult for even a hunter to outrun them, let alone an ordinary person.
Therefore, the number of Flame Stones on the market is quite small, with only about two hundred existing to date, which is why they are so expensive.
However, there is a way to deal with the Flame Fox: first, try to keep one of them alive.
Because every pair of Flame Foxes is deeply in love, sharing life and death.
If one of the two Flame Foxes manages to escape, the other will definitely rush over to help, thus holding the Flame Fox back.
The golden rooster comb was in Menchi's hand, and he had completely hidden himself at the base of a tree.
Fu Long and Buhala were not far from him. Fu Long himself was not worried, but he was afraid that Buhala's stomach would rumble again.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Although the two fire foxes were vigilantly watching their surroundings, they were completely unaware that someone had already laid an ambush on them.
When the mother fox was still some distance away from Menqi, she suddenly stopped and began to sniff the surroundings.
It smelled the golden rooster comb.
Golden rooster combs are the best food for the Flame Fox, and also the thing that most arouses their desire.
So, upon smelling the cockscomb fragrance, the mother flame fox actually hopped and skipped towards Menqi's direction.
Menchi remained hidden, showing no sign of urgency.
Seeing that the mother fire fox was only about ten meters away from Menqi, she probably realized something was wrong and actually stopped.
However, this distance is sufficient.
Suddenly, Menqi, who had been lying in ambush, made her move. The mother fox turned to run away, but it was too late.
Menqi's kitchen knife swiftly slashed across one of the mother flame fox's legs.
"Squeak!" The mother fire fox screamed in pain, and as she charged forward again, Buhala blocked her way.
With a "bang," the giant hand slapped the mother fire fox back.
"This one's yours, we'll deal with the male one," Menqi shouted to Fu Long, then she and Buhala rushed toward the male Flame Fox that was running to provide support.
Fu Long rushed out, staring intently at the female Flame Fox before him. Although she had been seriously injured by having one leg cut off, the ferocity of the female Flame Fox had been unleashed.
She bared her teeth at Fu Long, her eyes bloodshot, looking fierce.
Fu Long also struck a pose, channeling his psychic power throughout his body. He couldn't yet precisely control his psychic form to a solid state, so he could only rely on brute force.
The mother flame fox also let out a scream, a sound that was just like a woman's loud shout, which made Fu Long's ears hurt. However, Fu Long had already made full preparations.
As the mother fox charged forward, Fu Long delivered a straight punch to her face.
Fu Long's moves are relatively simple, with his basic punches mainly consisting of straight attacks.
Therefore, the final battle between Fu Long and the Mother Flame Fox was entirely a clash of power.
The mother flame fox's claws collided with Fu Long's fist, and the combined force of the two created a gust of wind that traveled into the distance.
Fu Long was thrown back more than ten steps before stopping. The female fire fox fared worse, with its claws cracked.
She was no match for Fu Long in a direct confrontation, and now that her leg was injured, Mu Yanhu had no way to escape.
She kept crying out, probably trying to tell the male Flame Fox to run away, but the male Flame Fox ignored her and kept charging at her.
"I'm sorry, I respect your views on love, but I also have my own goals, so prepare to die."
Fu Long knew he also had to overcome this psychological hurdle; he couldn't be a saint.
He didn't dare kill the two people before, and if he can't even kill a female Flame Fox now, he might as well just become an ordinary person.
Therefore, Fu Long hardened his heart and attacked the mother flame fox again.
His fighting style was simple: straight punches, just like always.
The mother Flame Fox screamed in agony as the punch landed on her head. She tried to defend herself but failed, and her skull cracked. However, the Flame Fox's vitality was still quite tenacious.
Before dying, the female fire fox mustered her last strength and bit at Fu Long.
Fu Long was also waiting for such an opportunity. Looking at the mother flame fox's big mouth, Fu Long suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the flame fox's mouth with both hands, and tore it open with force.
With the force delivered, the mother flame fox's body immediately split open, and she collapsed limply, powerless.
On the other side, the Gongyanhu let out a mournful cry and charged towards Fulong recklessly. However, Menqi was faster and flashed to the front of the Gongyanhu.
With a flick of the knife, the male fox's head was slashed open.
It wasn't until the male fire fox had run three or four steps away that the head fell to the ground.
The corpse of the male fire fox fell to the ground, utterly dead.
"Quickly, quickly cut off the Flame Stone and the fox tail. They can't stay dead for too long."
After Menqi finished speaking, she turned the knife and immediately cut open the belly of the female fire fox, while the tail of the male fire fox was also cut off at the root.
"Such a fast knife!" Fu Long shuddered. Men Qi's current strength was indeed beyond his reach. Fortunately, he was on good terms with them. If they were enemies, he could imagine that he might be turned into food.
Fu Long also rushed to the body of the mother flame fox, reached out and pulled out a heart about twenty centimeters in diameter, which was much larger than a human's.
Once the heart was removed from the corpse, it slowly shrank, and its material changed.
It hardened over time, eventually forming a gemstone only three centimeters in diameter.
The gemstone is fiery red, with a vibrant color that sparkles brilliantly in the sunlight.
It is indeed very beautiful.
Fu Long looked at the gem in his hand and almost became captivated by it.
"Collect the first Flame Stone to receive a slot machine coin."
A voice in his mind almost made Fu Long jump up; this came just in time!
Looking back, Fu Long saw Menqi and Buhala dealing with the tail of the male fire fox, and he immediately seized the opportunity.
Insert a coin, and the slot machine starts.
The three blocks on the slot machine moved rapidly, and Fu Long secretly prayed that heaven would give him another satisfactory reward.
In the previous three lotteries, the third one, which involved some kind of fusion, never provided a definitive answer.
Therefore, Fu Long felt that whether or not he could get something good from this slot machine was completely random.
Hopefully, this time I'll get a good one.
Soon, the three blocks slowly came to a stop, and Fu Long was stunned when he saw the blocks on the slot machine.
What is this thing?
Chapter 9 Return and Challenge
"Fu Long, come help me." Men Qi's voice brought Fu Long back to reality.
Since the items on the slot machine wouldn't disappear anyway, Fu Long put them aside for the time being and went to help Men Qi first.
The tail of the Fiery Fox has the most tender meat. After slicing it, you can roll vegetables in the middle, grill it, and brush it with sauce to make a fragrant and delicious dish.
No wonder we had to make it quickly; if this stuff is left out for too long, its freshness will disappear.
Menqi and Buhala truly lived up to their reputation as gourmet hunters; they had obtained an ancient recipe on this trip and came to try it out for themselves.
Surprisingly, it actually worked.
As for the meat of the two foxes that Buhara roasted and ate, Fu Long simply pretended not to have seen it.
An hour later, Fu Long patted his stomach, feeling quite full. It was really delicious.
After resting, Menqi and Buhala came directly to say goodbye to Fulong.
"Leaving so soon?" Fu Long hadn't expected that this gourmet hunter would be so impatient, leaving so quickly.
Menqi shrugged: "There's no way around it, we need to hurry back and report, and there are a few ancient formulas we need to verify. We really don't have that much time. But you, do you want to come with us? Your skills are quite good."
Fu Long shook his head. He knew his own situation. His current strength was only enough to hold Menqi and Buhala back; he was not even worth mentioning.
Seeing Fu Long shake his head, Men Qi also looked disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood and laughed, "Is that so? Then you continue your cultivation. We'll meet again someday."
Fu Long smiled and said, "We'll be very lucky to meet."
Menqi nodded, then patted Buhala beside him: "Let's go."
Watching Menqi and Buhala turn and leave, Fu Long shook his head: "What a coincidence. In a little over a year, we'll meet again."
After saying that, Fu Long laughed to himself, thinking that the scene would be quite interesting.
Meanwhile, in the mountains, Menchi and Buhara moved swiftly.
"Menchi, why don't we go back and find him? Once we're separated, it will be very difficult to find him again, since he's not a hunter yet."
Menqi snorted and said without turning her head, "Buhala, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak. Why should I go back to him?"
Buhara scratched his head. Why should he?
Sigh, never mind, that's what happens when you're too close to the situation to see clearly. I can tell something's wrong with you.
……
Fu Long had put everything else aside. He found a secluded cave, hid behind him, and then summoned the slot machine.
The coins below the slot machine have once again become zero, but the items on the slot machine are quite obvious.
The first panel features a nine-headed skull.
Fu Long also shuddered; this thing looked rather frightening.
Fu Long recognizes this thing. In Journey to the West, Sha Wujing descended to the mortal realm as a demon and ate Tang Sanzang's previous nine incarnations in the Flowing Sand River. It was made into a rosary using the skulls of those incarnations.
