Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 204 - 135: The Immortal Artifact Left by Marquis Qingyun—Has It Gone Crazy?

The fierce wind howled, and dark clouds covered the sky.

By the swamp's edge, a dozen foxes were gathered around a bronze house, either buzzing with electric drills or clanging with small hammers, busy opening the boxes.

Up to today, the number of bronze houses they had opened was countless.

On the swamp's edge, many small hills had piled up...

One hill was made of disassembled bronze plates.

One hill was made of river sand dug up from the boxes.

One hill was made of illegible useless documents.

In the shadow of the small hills, Pang Youyou held an electric drill, and with a "buzz," made a hole in the house below.

"Awooooo!"

A dozen siblings followed with small hammers swung.

"Yingyingying!"

Pang Youyou was very happy!

In the past, it had too low a presence, and the siblings never noticed it. But now, holding an electric drill, making holes in the small house made such a loud noise that the siblings could all notice it.

Black Star and White Tail had already gone back to work in the medicine field. At the same time, new siblings joined the box-opening small team. This time, the newcomers were Black Shoes, who managed the Jade Food Trees, and Big Nose, as well as White Toe.

They chatted as they worked.

"Awooo?"

...Do Jade Food Trees also have a resting period?

"Yingying, awooo yingying!"

...The master developed a new pesticide, so most of the pests and diseases of the Jade Food Trees have been resolved, meaning there is no need to watch them every day anymore.

A few foxes nodded.

Fox Mountain was developing rapidly, with new things appearing every day, and every day some siblings were freed from the medicine field.

As they chatted, the foxes successfully opened the bronze house.

First, they looked at the nearby purple bellflowers... confirmed the bellflowers had no reaction, so the house was safe.

They then lifted the bronze lid, took up bronze shovels, and jumped inside, eagerly clearing away the accumulated river sand and digging for treasures inside.

Whoosh... whoosh...

Scoop after scoop of river sand was dug out, eventually digging out a rusty half-broken bronze shield.

"Awooo!"

The foxes were not disappointed... the majority of the boxes opened only yielded garbage.

Big Nose stepped forward, brushed the dirt off the shield with its tail, and its eyes lit up.

"Awooo! Yingyingying!"

The foxes poked their furry heads in to take a look and squinted in happiness.

"Awooo!"

"Yingying!"

"Yingying!"

The shield had recognizable writing!

The foxes couldn't read, but if they unearthed something with writing on it, they still treated it as a document!

Beside them, White Toe furrowed its brows and suddenly noticed some black particles and some tiny shards of glass in the river sand they dug out.

"Awooo?"

What was this?

Was there supposed to be this kind of stuff in the river sand?

As a newcomer to the box-opening, still unsure of such things, it pointed to the black particles and the glass shards, asking Pang Youyou and other older members.

"Awooo?"

Pang Youyou furrowed its brows and scratched its plump head.

White Toe was willing to consult it, which made it happy.

But... it didn't actually know either.

It thought for a moment, then demonstrated the cunning nature of a fox by immediately fetching the purple bellflowers nearby and bringing them closer.

At this point, the purple bellflowers had already been urgently upgraded by the master!

Sharing a stem with the bellflowers was another branch bearing a fiery red fruit at its tip.

The fiery red fruit was intricately shaped, with a chubby head, triangular ears, a sharp mouth, a plump body, four paws, and a big tail—an unmistakable miniature version of a fox!

The master said this fox fruit was a hazard detector, extremely sensitive. If there was any danger present, it would be harmed before a real fox, and it would immediately sound an alarm!

Although close to the black river sand and glass shards, the miniature fox fruit swayed gently on the branch, showing no response.

The purple bellflowers remained quiet, unresponsive as well.

The group of foxes nodded.

"Yingyingying."

"Awooo."

...What a false alarm.

Some of them picked up their tools, while others hugged the bellflowers, heading to the next little house to continue box opening.

...

In the Bronze Hall.

On either side of the table were piles of copper plates and stone slabs.

Bai Mo sat behind the table, reaching for the topmost plate, wiping and examining it, trying to discern the writing, and read quickly.

After reading for a long time...

"Again, useless experimental data.

"Recently, the quality of the documents is mediocre."

Most of the recent documents found have come from the bronze houses, barely touching on medical recipes and Alchemy Dao knowledge, mostly being useless experimental data and logs...

Bai Mo copied down the data, not even bothering to research it, because while transcribing, it had already become clear that the data was useless... just garbage data.

"It's too lacking in rigor, with irregular sampling times and unsystematic methods, how large would the margin of error be?

"It seems not all Ancient Immortals were meticulous. Some of them just muddled through.

"Did this group of careless individuals think that such low-quality data should be left to Marquis Qing Yue?

"This data's quality disrespects the Marquis.

"And it certainly disrespects the Beast Masters who served as test subjects."

After finishing copying this stone slab, it was classified as "useless document" and tossed into the garbage pile ahead.

Bai Mo picked up another stone slab, wiped off the dirt, touched the writings, seriously discerning, and quickly read through.

"Oh?

"Is this... a journal?"

[...Today, using the Immortal Artifact left by the Marquis, we successfully defeated the enemy...]

[...We don't know why, but this time the enemy seemed unkillable...]

[...We couldn't cut through his neck, his spine was harder than any blade...]

[...He wasn't afraid of poison, nor of flames, and could even breathe underwater...]
