Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 57 - 56: Challenges in Fox Mountain’s Development

Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Challenges in Fox Mountain’s Development

Inside the van.

Zhang Shan held the already cleaned cell phone, yet he still felt uncomfortable, always sensing a sticky, greasy residue.

Still, he unlocked the screen and began to operate it.

The others gathered around, also looking at the phone screen.

Although Black Gloves couldn’t understand, its furry fox head joined in, squinting at the screen.

It turned out the phone model was very old; the screen had low pixels, low brightness, and several cracks.

Bai Mo frowned; even before he became an expert, he wouldn’t want to use such a phone. It’s too shabby!

The phone didn’t have many apps, apart from the pre-installed ones that couldn’t be uninstalled, it only had WeChat.

Opening WeChat, there weren’t many contacts, just a bunch of contacts named first brother, second brother, third brother, fourth sister, etc. There was also a "Giant Food Mountain Sect Group" which made Zhang Shan and the others’ eyes light up!

Did they hit the jackpot?

Does this month’s performance pay out again?

They immediately clicked and entered the group chat!

But the group chat interface was empty...

"Eh? All happy for nothing, he deleted the chat records?"

It’s understandable for fugitives to regularly delete chat records.

They then opened the chat interfaces of each brother and sister, yet found that the chat records were mostly deleted.

Only the chat record of the third brother remained, with just a few lines.

Zhang Shan read it out loud.

"... been watching the single wealthy woman for a long time, turns out she has someone..."

Everyone looked up at Fang Xiaoyu, then at Bai Mo.

So that’s why Bai Mo appeared at Fang Xiaoyu’s house, was there an inside story?

Fang Xiaoyu blushed.

"Don’t get the wrong idea! Not a lover!"

Everyone lowered their heads, not saying whether they believed it or not, continuing to read the criminal and third brother’s chat records.

The next line was sent by the third brother.

"Maybe just hooking up for a quickie? Hahaha"

Everyone looked up at Fang Xiaoyu, then at Bai Mo.

Not a lover, huh?

Fang Xiaoyu was furious, her face as red as a tomato.

Bai Mo was also quite embarrassed.

"All nonsense! I specifically came today to ambush this criminal!"

Everyone lowered their heads, not saying whether they believed it or not, starting to operate the phone, sending a message to this third brother.

Zhang Shan pondered for a moment, typed a line, consulted everyone for their opinion, then sent it out.

"I’ve succeeded! Do you want to come too?"

"The wealthy woman is very juicy!"

Zhang Shan lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Fang Xiaoyu’s murderous gaze.

Third brother replied instantly.

"Haha brother, nice one"

"But I don’t need it anymore"

"I already joined that Dark World we talked about last time"

"I’ll introduce you too"

"The website is"

Dark World?

What is that?

Inside the van, everyone widened their eyes.

Third brother sent another message.

"It’s time, you need to verify your identity"

Verify identity?

How to verify?

"Today’s verification method is taking a selfie holding your front teeth and sending it to me"

Everyone looked at each other.

The phone’s owner was completely mangled, bloodied and blurred. Could he still pose for such a teeth-grabbing selfie?

After hesitating slightly, they saw the third brother’s message come again.

"Damn it, not Old Eight. Are you trying to trick me?"

Exposed?

Zhang Shan quickly sent a question mark over, only to see a red exclamation mark, unable to send anymore.

After waiting for a few minutes, the materials department’s car arrived, taking away the giant chameleon and the suspect’s corpse, along with the recently cleaned phone.

Lu Zhou also received a call from Captain Wang, after a few words, learning about the situation.

"This third brother is very good at counter-surveillance. Our people used techniques to find his WeChat location, but upon arrival, only found the phone, he had already fled."

It was getting late, everyone exchanged pleasantries and then each parted ways.

Fang Xiaoyu went home to sleep.

To prove his innocence, Bai Mo boarded Lu Zhou’s van, "Sorry for the trouble, can you take me back to the community on the way."

As the van drove, the group chatted about the recent events.

"I do know Giant Food Mountain. It’s an Immortal Sect in the dream world following the Beast Taming Path.

"This Immortal Sect has many disciples, all are fugitives.

"Earlier in Nantian Heaven City, they caused quite a stir. Unexpectedly, they came to our West State City.

"But what do those Dark World thing mean? Joining the Dark World, what is it about?"

Inside the van, everyone looked at each other.

Bai Mo frowned, feeling that the words "Dark World"... were quite edgy.

...

Above Fox Mountain, the layers of gloomy clouds as always, like dense mountain ranges, tightly covered the sky.

Bai Mo sat on the sedan chair, carried by four fox disciples, with the mountain wind whistling along the winding mountain road, heading to the ruined palace group.

Miracle Cream had been successfully crafted, and the most important task now was to continue the excavation, quickly finding the next recipe needed for advancement to Sequence Six.

"Logically, in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, this recipe wasn’t precious, it’s considered commonplace, shouldn’t be hard to find."

Along the way, the sedan chair passed through many ruined palaces... but all had been excavated thoroughly by the fox disciples, leaving nothing valuable.

Before long, the sedan chair arrived at the forefront of the excavation works... another ruin.

Dozens of fox disciples gathered, "whimpering" and pointing their front paws at the ruins, telling their master about the difficulties.

This ruin... is truly too difficult to excavate!

Saw broken walls buried under the soil.

Numerous chaotic stones covering them.

Numerous twisted tree roots intertwined amongst them.

The entire ruin had become an integrated earthy yellow!

And, this isn’t a small-scale problem... as far as the eye can see, a large area of palace groups, all the way to the horizon, is this integrated earthy yellow!

The little paws of the fox disciples couldn’t tackle such a large-scale project. Even after digging for a while, they could only dig out a small pile of soil. If shovels or such tools were used, the efficiency would be slightly higher, but not by much.

What to do?

When will this ruin be developed?

"In this situation, fox paws indeed can’t handle it.

"Maybe several hundred excavators would do."

The fox disciples, with their furry heads, gathered around their master.

What are excavators?

Can the master get them?

Bai Mo frowned, continuing to ponder.

Over the three years, during the development of Fox Mountain, various problems often occurred. This wasn’t the first time. In general, they could be solved.

A group of fox disciples quietly stayed around their master.

Watching their master think for a long time, some fox disciples jumped onto the sedan chair, rubbing their master’s shoulders.

Seeing their master hadn’t drunk water for a while, some fox disciples jumped onto their master’s lap, offering a kettle.

When their master was zoning out, some fox disciples took the opportunity to come forward, slyly rubbing their heads against their master.

Other foxes, squinting their eyes, glanced sideways at this cunning one, then also crowded forward, slyly rubbing their master.
