Please be my partner.

It was not until Mellen left that the leader began to breathe heavily as if the knife on his neck had been removed. Large drops of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and his back was completely wet in a short time.

He first calmed down before saying in a complicated tone, "Oli, why are you doing this? The president has issued a ban on us..."

The hunter, Ollie, interrupted him and said, "Dag, you know me. I'm only at level two, and I'm not known for my combat prowess. When the Fox Hunter Alliance formed the hunting team, we didn't know the Dream Fox would try to minimize conflict with us. So why do you think I risked my life to join the frontline hunting team?"

The leader, Dag, fell silent. He knew that Ollie's parents were both burned to death in their sleep when their house caught fire on the disaster night.

But, the president's order...

At this moment, Oli's voice came faintly: "In just three months, have you forgotten the hatred for your brother's death?"

After a long moment, Dag muttered to himself, as if to refute the other party, but also as if to persuade himself: "This is for the greater good."

On the way, Melen sighed slightly. He could see hatred similar to that of Aleku in the eyes of the pursuer, and he also roughly guessed the thoughts of some senior members of the Fox Hunter Alliance. They were simply afraid that after the Dream Fox was solved, the Fox Hunter Alliance would lose its meaning of existence, so they tried their best to delay it deliberately.

Some people may ask, didn’t the founders of the Fox Hunter Alliance all have relatives who died in the disaster caused by the Dream Fox?

Perhaps, this is human nature, and we cannot escape the word "interest" after all.

For some people, when the benefits are sufficient, even the biggest hatred can be temporarily put aside.

It was this decision by the top leadership that caused dissatisfaction among members like Aleku and the pursuers, leading them to take their own actions...

For example, Aleku easily handed over the information about the Dream Fox to Melen; for example, the pursuer, after realizing that Melen's strength was unfathomable, did not hesitate to give the latest intelligence he had found out.

It seems that the conflict between the two factions in the Fox Hunter Alliance has become quite acute. If this continues, a split may not be far away.

However, these have nothing to do with Mellen.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he had already found the tree that his pursuers had marked.

This mark is not easy to find. If Melen didn't know the direction and had keen perception, it would be difficult to discover it.

At this time, Spike also returned to Mellen. The dog's face was calm and relaxed, as if he had just completed some intense exercise and entered a state of sage. Only the traces of blood on his claws revealed the cruelty of the dog's way of relaxation.

Well, the 'vigorous sports' here refers to hunting, of course.

Mellen took out a pocket watch, of course it was not the [Pointer of Destiny], it was just an ordinary pocket watch.

He pointed the twelve o'clock direction to due north, then looked towards half past one.

Spike had already recorded the surrounding aura at this time, and then rushed out towards the direction of half past one.

Little Honglian was not to be outdone, and the faint blood mist drifted farther, trying to capture any abnormalities as much as possible.

To be honest, Melen actually has a method that can ensure that as long as the Dream Fox is still in this forest, he can easily find it.

That is, to remove the restrictions on Little Red Lotus, and let the little guy withstand the hostility of the world and spread the blood mist, devouring all the life he encounters. In this way, the blood mist can fill the entire forest in a short time, and then the Dream Fox will have nowhere to hide.

The strength of the legendary level is never the limited power of oneself, but the endless spirituality and energy leveraged through the mastery of the rules.

However, this tempting idea only flashed through Mellen's mind before he gave it up.

No need! There's no need to go to that extent!

At least not for now.

I ran for more than ten kilometers in the direction of 1:30, but found nothing.

Just when Melen thought that the Dream Fox had transformed itself and the information obtained by the pursuers was no longer effective, Xiao Honglian suddenly made a new discovery.

Spike, who was running wildly in front, received a message from Mellen and immediately changed direction slightly.

When Mellen arrived at where Spike was, he saw a strand of fiery red hair with a little blood on it hanging on the branch.

Chapter 168 Tuogu

Although I can't be 100% sure, it should be pretty close.

These hairs most likely come from the Dream Fox.

Little Honglian raised its claws and waved them, and its bloody hair moved without wind and floated in front of the little guy. The blood that had long dried up on it began to flow again and was swallowed and absorbed by the little guy.

With these bloodstains as a benchmark, all residual auras related to it within the range of the blood mist became clearly visible.

Almost instantly, Xiao Honglian locked onto a new position.

This time, Spike did not rush out again, but followed Mellen. Under the guidance of Xiao Honglian, they acted quickly.

At this time, Melen was almost certain that even with the help of the top leaders of the Fox Hunter Alliance, the current condition of the Dream Fox was still not optimistic and it should be seriously injured.

From Xiao Honglian's perspective, the remaining traces of the Dream Fox were clearly visible, and its movement path could be seen clearly.

Although these traces disappeared quickly over time, it was obvious that it had not been long since the Dream Fox passed by here.

As Mellen and his team advanced quickly, more and more traces were scattered on the road.

It seems that it won’t be long before we can find the true trace of the Dream Fox.

But at this moment, Spike suddenly stopped running and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Mellen also stopped and asked, "What's wrong, dog?"

Spike looked in the direction they were heading. From Xiao Honglian's perspective, the traces of the Dream Fox along the way were very obvious, and the dog's extraordinary sense of smell also confirmed this.

The direction they were following was not wrong.

but……

Spike looked in another direction again. There was clearly nothing there, but the dog's intuition told him that was not the case.

However, this so-called intuition only flashed by just now, and was extremely weak. Even Spike was not sure whether it was his own illusion.

Thinking of this, Spike didn't think about it anymore and told the boy exactly how he felt. He believed that the boy would be able to make a judgment.

Feeling what Spike conveyed, Mellen nodded slightly. Although he had no intention of changing the route, he became a little more cautious.

As they continued to move forward, they would occasionally encounter some third-order extraordinary life forms on the road, but in order to avoid wasting time, Melen chose to bypass them directly. Of course, he would also make records of some extraordinary life forms that looked pretty good, and wait for an opportunity to harvest their bloodlines later.

After marching on like this for two or three hours, Melen stopped and said to himself, "I was wrong, there's something special about this dream fox."

Xiao Honglian, who was lying on Melen's shoulder, whimpered apologetically.

Melen smiled and touched the little guy's head, indicating that it was not its fault.

Although Little Red Lotus is of legendary level, in order not to be rejected by the world, it now hides in Melen's blood, concealing most of its own power. It only uses one-tenth or one-twelfth of its power on weekdays.

With this limited power, although Xiao Honglian is still far stronger than the third level, she cannot form an overwhelming advantage.

Just like now, the traces left by the dream fox on the road are not fake, but not real either. They are a bit like the dream power of the fairy tale kingdom, which materializes the unreal things into reality, but is different in essence.

This method even concealed Xiao Honglian's blood control ability.

Although there were still traces of the Dream Fox in front of the man and two dogs, at such a close distance, Xiao Honglian and Spike both noticed something was wrong.

What is before us is a carefully concealed trigger trap. Once triggered, it will probably create a huge noise.

According to Xiao Honglian's investigation, this place is exactly the intersection of the territories of three third-level extraordinary beings. Killing someone with a borrowed knife is probably the purpose of the Dream Fox setting this trap.

The current situation is very clear. Unless Xiao Honglian can demonstrate legendary strength and reposition himself, these traces cannot be trusted.

Mellen looked at Spike and said, "It seems that we will have to rely on your combat instincts from now on."

Gouzi nodded, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and walked in a certain direction. Melen naturally followed closely behind him.

Along the way, Spike's movements were almost irregular. He would often stop while running and then turn in another direction without any warning.

This way of advancing naturally cannot bypass the territories of those third-level extraordinary beings.

However, the aura of Little Red Lotus still has a strong deterrent effect. Generally speaking, those third-level extraordinary beings will ignore them as they are just passing by, but there are always a few with abnormal brains. In this case, Melen can only spend some effort to gain some spiritual energy and blood.

Spike's movements were not fast, and he kept circling from time to time, so it was not until it was getting dark that they gradually went deeper into the forest.

Just then, Spike stopped and let out a low growl.

Melen immediately understood and looked forward.

Although the area ahead was not much different from other places in the forest, Melen soon noticed something was wrong.

A ray of dream power flew out from his fingertips, and there was a "puff" sound in the void, as if an invisible bubble was popped, and the scenery in front suddenly changed drastically.

It was still a dense forest, but this area was several times larger than what had been seen before. It was obvious that this area had been deliberately hidden by some means.

At this time, under the largest tree in this area, there was a simple nest. In the nest, a fiery red fox was looking at Melen who suddenly appeared in surprise.

Melen smiled slightly and said to the fox, "Hello, Dream Fox."

The Dream Fox showed vigilance and hostility the moment it saw Melen. In the past few months, bipeds like Melen had been chasing it. Now that its hiding place was discovered, it almost subconsciously wanted to escape.

But soon, it stopped and looked at Mellen in confusion, and the vigilance and hostility in its eyes dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Mellen nodded secretly in his heart, knowing that it was his talent for being friendly to dogs that came into play, and this also proved that the fox was indeed a dog.

Although when the Dream Fox appeared in front of Mellen, the former was destined to be unable to escape, he did not approach rashly. Instead, he stood at a distance, allowing the fox to look at him, while he also looked at the fox.

After a moment, Melen frowned and said, "Your vitality...you, are dying?"

Although the dream fox in front of him looked no different from an ordinary fox, all the injuries on its body had healed under the recovery ability of the third-level extraordinary life.

But from Xiao Honglian's perspective, its vitality is extremely abnormal.

Although it seems extremely vigorous, it feels like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at the slightest blow.

Hearing Mellen's words, the Dream Fox was startled, but then fell into deep thought, as if hesitating about something.

Melen was also thinking about it. This contradictory expression of vitality really made him confused.

At this moment, the Dream Fox looked at Spike, then at Little Red Lotus, and finally turned his gaze to Mellen. As if he had made some kind of decision, a pure and ethereal white light began to emerge from his body.

Seeing this change, Spike stood directly in front of Mellen, and Little Red Lotus also released wisps of blood mist, covering his figure.

When the light from the Dream Fox faded, Melen saw a shocking scene...

The dream fox in front of him was no longer as bright and beautiful as before. Its fur was a dull gray, and it exuded an air of decay. The fire of life was already flickering, and it seemed that it would die at any moment. Only its eyes were still bright.

Melen looked at the belly of the Dream Fox, which was slightly bulging. A new life was being nurtured there, and the vitality of this little thing was as bright and dazzling as the rising sun in the early morning.

Previously, the Dream Fox had used some means to conceal the abnormalities within itself and its abdomen, which made the sensitive Little Honglian feel somewhat conflicted.

The Dream Fox looked down at its belly, its eyes radiating maternal light. Then it looked at Melen and walked slowly towards it.

Looking at the Dream Fox that came before him and condensed a little light on its forehead, Melen could feel that this little light contained some memories.

Mellen didn't refuse and directly reached out and clicked...

A little fox, not uncommon in the mountains, seems to have been living alone ever since he could remember.

For the little fox, the mountains and forests are full of dangers. Creatures stronger than it are its natural enemies, and it can only get a little food every day because of its cautious behavior.

After experiencing four times of leaf falling, the little fox grew up a little, and inadvertently felt the power of the spirituality and began to come into contact with the extraordinary.

This makes the little fox stronger and faster, allowing it to better avoid enemies and obtain more food.

After experiencing three more falling leaves, the little fox felt that he had undergone some kind of transformation. He suddenly became many times stronger than before and could even spit out flames.

With the increase in strength, the outer areas of the forest are no longer so dangerous.

With plenty of food and a comfortable environment, the little fox is very satisfied with this life.

But all this was broken by a sudden accident.

A ray of light, a light that looks good, smells good, and tastes good, enveloped the little fox squarely.

The little fox was very panicked at first, but after feeling extremely comfortable under the illumination of the light, it calmed down.

Driven by instinct, it opened its mouth and took a bite. It originally thought that its silly behavior would have no result except biting the air, but unexpectedly, it actually bit off a piece of light.

The little fox felt a little guilty, but the light was so delicious that it couldn't help but take another bite, and then another...

By the time I came to my senses, the light had been eaten up by it.

And just like that, the little fox fell asleep lazily.

I don’t know how long I slept. When the little fox woke up again, he was scared by himself.

Because falling asleep in the mountains without any protection is a very dangerous behavior.

Fortunately, it seems to be lucky.

In the following time, the little fox felt the changes in itself. Its strength and wisdom increased at a rocket speed, and it also possessed some magical abilities.

As the little fox grew stronger, it soon became the king of the forest, but it did not like to stay in one area after its territory was divided. It liked to run around.

With its own magical abilities, even other forest kings can only be toyed with by it.

Until one day, the little fox found out that she was... pregnant.
