Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

Chapter 517 - 287: I, Chongchong Fox, Will Show My Skills Today

"Ow?"

Peach Blossom Eyes opened its eyes and saw its master’s concerned face.

Was it lying in its master’s arms?

Foxes are very cunning, so it closed its eyes again, pretending to still be asleep, wanting to lie in its master’s arms a bit longer.

But all around, the brothers and sisters had their eyes glued on it, and the moment it opened its eyes, cheers erupted, and everyone jumped up and down!

"Whimper, whimper!"

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"Whimper, whimper!"

Bai Mo rubbed Peach Blossom Eyes’ chubby head.

"Awake now? Are you okay?"

He already understood the cause and effect of the situation.

But what Fox Mountain was like before he arrived, he truly didn’t know.

These ten thousand fox disciples... They were indeed very ordinary foxes!

Bai Mo saw Peach Blossom Eyes open its eyes, sit up, and he petted its chubby belly and rubbed its neck.

These guys really weren’t special.

When they first arrived three years ago, they were all skinny like dried-out monkeys, and they slowly got chubby.

But always timid, always cowardly, that truly hadn’t changed.

Bai Mo took Peach Blossom Eyes into his arms again and checked it thoroughly... Everything was normal with its body; its fainting seemed like a fright?

"There’s nothing to fear.

"Eat what you need, drink what you need.

"No matter what danger you encounter in the future, your master is here."

...

Rustle, rustle...

In the funeral home’s restroom, Bai Mo washed his face, calmed himself down, and walked out again with Chongchong Fox on his shoulder.

The morning breeze hit his face, still cold.

The funeral home’s main entrance was shut tightly, temporarily closed.

A few government vehicles from the Immortal Technique Committee were parked in the courtyard.

A dozen Immortal Technique Committee members in Exoskeleton Armor were using instruments, pacing back and forth as if clearing mines.

Committee Member Gu Lin came over.

"No worries, Expert Bai Mo, we brought in specialized counter Earth Tunnel sonar and have already detected something underground!

"We’ll dig it up right away!"

Detected something?

Bai Mo was slightly taken aback.

The real thing had already been taken back to Fox Mountain and enshrined?

What did the Committee discover now?

He couldn’t approach; together with Fang Xiaoyu, they were protected by several Immortal Technique Committee members, only able to watch the excavation site from a distance.

Seeing two Immortal Technique Committee members in Exoskeleton Armor swinging big hammers to smash the concrete ground, then wielding shovels to dig straight down!

They dug downward, and next to the hole, another Immortal Technique Committee member used a rope to bind the bucket and hoist up the soil.

Fang Xiaoyu craned her neck and widened her eyes.

"Look how quickly they’re digging, hoisting up bucket after bucket of soil, non-stop. Their stamina is incredible!"

"Human excavation machines?"

Bai Mo explained.

"It’s not all relying on their own stamina.

"The main force comes from the Exoskeleton Armor."

No doubt, the Committee’s Exoskeleton Armor is excellent; two people in two suits of armor essentially become two untiring digging machines!

As basket after basket of soil was hoisted up, at the last turn, the Immortal Technique Committee member responsible for pulling the rope on the bucket wore a bizarre expression, murmuring instructions into the earphone before finally pulling up the rope.

This time, what was hoisted up wasn’t a bucket.

The other Immortal Technique Committee members stepped forward to lend a hand, pulling out the massive object from the pit and placing it on the ground.

The massive object, bound by the composite rope of the Immortal Committee, was strikingly a blood-red coffin!

The coffin’s surface still had light ochre dirt on it.

Bai Mo and Fang Xiaoyu were protected from approaching.

But Bai Mo’s Divine Sense saw that the coffin lid was lifted, revealing the corpse of a young man in his twenties inside.

Jeans, hooded sweatshirt, bleeding from all seven orifices, eyes bulged open in death... This was an unfortunate death!

So, stealing the urn had been done on a whim; the real purpose was burying this unfortunate corpse beneath the funeral home?

Committee Member Gu Lin approached, looking at Bai Mo, Wu Qingyun, Fang Xiaoyu, and others.

"Apologies, Expert Bai Mo. The matter has gotten quite serious.

"We need to handle a bit more over here.

"Regarding the urns... both Shangjing and Beihai have already lost many, and a special task force has been established. I’ll report your situation.

"We’re truly sorry!

"You..."

Bai Mo nodded.

"Let’s not get in the way, and head back to West University for now."

...

The morning passed swiftly.

Bai Mo sat in his office, read numerous papers, and summarized a wealth of knowledge, his gaze settling on a review, clicking his tongue.

"This one... is quite interesting; the one who wrote this review is quite high-level."

Beside him, Fang Xiaoyu was still drafting application documents, while Wu Qingyun was bent over, doing homework, sometimes furrowing her brows, lost in thought.

Chongchong Fox squatted on the table, seeing Wu Qingyun’s expression, tilted its head with a sly smile.

This expression was familiar; some slacker brothers and sisters on Fox Mountain often showed this face!

Suddenly, Bai Mo’s phone rang, relating to the funeral home matter, reporting progress to higher-ups.

[Twenty-seven funeral homes in the city have been tampered with, each secretly buried with a corpse.]

[The identities of the deceased have been confirmed.]

[The investigation scale is currently expanding, with no other corpses discovered yet.]

Twenty-seven funeral homes, all buried?

Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

What is being planned?

Before the Immortal Technique Era, such behavior was considered nonsensical.

With the advent of the Immortal Technique Era, such behavior becomes quite inscrutable!

[Expert Cai Xiaozhen has arrived, seen the corpse at the site.]

[His suggestion is to fill the dug holes with concrete.]

Oh?

Bai Mo remembered Cai Xiaozhen as the strongest Immortal Technique Master in array pathways within the Immortal Committee.
