Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 189 - 127: The Invisible Pang Youyou and Electric Drill Cactus (Part 2)

...

Under the dense dark clouds, amidst the vast medicine field.

One "Living Thorn Cactus" after another gently swayed in the mountain breeze.

This kind of cactus is extremely sensitive; when it feels a slight threat or stimulation, it retracts its thorns.

And Pang Youyou, holding a bronze cleaver, was tasked with picking the thorns from these cacti!

Whoosh...

The wild wind blew, and the finger-sized thorns retracted with a "swish."

Whoosh...

As the wild wind subsided, the finger-sized thorns slowly emerged again.

But strangely enough, even though Pang Youyou was right in front of this cactus, grinning mischievously and raising the cleaver, the cactus remained unaware...

Crack!

Pang Youyou swung the cleaver, chopping off the big thorn and gathering it into a small bamboo basket, his plump face lifted slightly, filled with pride.

On Fox Mountain, only he could perform this task!

This was his special skill!

Even though he didn't really understand the principles behind it or why it worked this way. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Anyway, with a cleaver in hand, just hacking away, these Living Thorn Cacti, fearful of the wind, were somehow oblivious to Pang Youyou, making no attempt to dodge.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

The wild wind blew fiercer, and dusk was approaching.

Each Living Thorn Cactus in the field was left with new or old holes, without a single thorn left.

All the hundreds of thorns that had just grown today were chopped down by Pang Youyou and collected into the bamboo basket.

"Woo woo woo!"

Not yet time for dinner, Pang Youyou tossed the small bamboo basket aside, found a vacant spot, and lay down, arms spread, belly up, to rest a bit.

He removed the small water bottle from around his neck, poured his fourth Drunken Date into his mouth, savoring the sweet flavor with eyes half-closed.

Beside him, a small cactus had yet to sprout thorns, round and smooth.

Pang Youyou, in leisure, stretched out his front paw, playing with the small cactus.

"Oh?"

When did this small cactus sprout?

Is it also a Living Thorn Cactus?

Pang Youyou suddenly realized that this had never been in his medicine field before?

Did it just sprout?

How long before it will grow thorns? How could it contribute to Fox Mountain?

Whoosh...

Suddenly, a leaf blew in the wild wind, heading towards the small cactus.

Snap!

The leaf suddenly splintered into pieces, turning into dust and floating into the air.

"Oh?"

Pang Youyou was stunned.

What just happened?

He didn't see anything clearly, how did the leaf heading toward the small cactus get shattered?

Whoosh...

Just then, a more powerful gust swept through, and a piece of shingle was hurled high into the air, falling towards the small cactus.

Pang Youyou watched as the small cactus swiftly transformed, ejecting a giant thorn thicker than a fox's paw, spinning like an electric drill, meeting the falling shingle!

Buzz!

The shingle shattered into pieces with a crisp sound, splinters and dust scattering everywhere.

The drill-like thorn extended from the small cactus, spinning with a "buzz buzz buzz," probing left and right, finding no threat, it retracted.

The entire small cactus returned to its smooth original state.

Pang Youyou's eyes widened, trembling fearfully, but he tried to keep his paw steady, avoiding any trembling ... because his paw was still touching the small cactus, mere centimeters from the drill ... he had such a weak presence that the small cactus hadn't noticed him yet.

He shivered, moving his paw away, his plump body rolling off, quickly distancing himself from the small cactus.

"Oh?

"Oh!"

With a face full of fear, his mouth open, eyes wide, ears perked up!

What is this?

Aren't Living Thorn Cacti cowards? How did one mutate into such a strong-assault shadow prick?

He picked up the small bamboo basket next to him and swiftly ran away, darting up Fox Mountain!

Scared to death of foxes!

He needed to find his mentor!

...

Dusk was approaching, and many foxes had finished their day's work.

They gathered at the Living Thorn Cactus field, watching the mentor and this mutated small cactus.

Bai Mo stood in front of the mutant cactus, only to see it was small, even smaller than a fox's head.

He spread his Divine Sense to explore it, discovering that it really had mutated!

"Throw a brick!"

Next to him, Pang Youyou promptly picked up a brick and threw it…

But before the brick could hit, the Small Cactus had already transformed, thrusting out a high-speed spinning electric drill head, viciously meeting the brick!

Buzz!

Crack!

In the midst of a loud noise, the brick was drilled to pieces, fragments and dust scattering everywhere.

The fox apprentices watching widened their eyes.

"Awoo awoo awoo?"

"Ying ying ying?"

"Ying ying ying?"

Bai Mo pondered for a long time, slowly recalling a scenario mentioned in ancient texts.

"This... seems like reverse evolution.

A Living Thorn Cactus is a very timid plant, retracting its thorns to protect itself at the slightest disturbance.

"As the saying goes, extremity breeds reversal… This mutant Electric Drill Cactus, at the slightest disturbance, drills out the offending object!

"Moreover, judging by its performance, this power is quite formidable!

"You can't find such a fierce electric drill on the market."

After all, this is Sequence Eight's top-tier Immortal Grass. Add in the mutation, it could count as Sequence Seven!

All the fox apprentices nodded in admiration, casting worshipful glances at their master. The master knows so much!

Bai Mo looked at the Immortal Grass, looked at Pang Youyou, infinitely grateful.

"Luckily, it was discovered by Pang Youyou.

"Pang Youyou's presence is too low, it doesn't detect Pang Youyou.

"If it had been another apprentice, they might have been hurt by now…"

Bai Mo crouched down, igniting a thin layer of Pill Fire on his palm like wearing a glove, inserting it under the Small Cactus, carefully uprooting it.

Yet its underground roots were extremely developed, a tangled mass!

"Get a flowerpot, fill it with potting soil, let me plant this Electric Drill Cactus in it."

...

Night fell.

In the dormitory hall of Fox Mountain, Bai Mo sat on the bed, using a tablet to write documents, recording the discovery of this "Electric Drill Cactus" over the past days. This thing has never appeared in literature, it must have undergone millions of years of mutation to slowly appear, having significant research value.

Not far away, the apprentices formed a large circle, guarding the flowerpot with the Electric Drill Cactus, taking turns to provoke it with their paws…

At the front of the line, Black Ears reached out its front paw, slowly approaching…

Buzz!

Before the paw could get close, the electric drill head thrust out, spinning wildly, making a "buzz buzz buzz" sound!

The fox apprentices watching immediately grew excited, raising their front paws to jump and cheer!

"Ying ying ying!"

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

"Ying ying ying!"

Following Black Ears was White Ears.

It also carefully approached with its paw to draw out the electric drill head.

Buzz!!

Amidst the furious whirring of the electric drill head, a group of foxes once again raised their paws to bounce and cheer.

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

"Ying ying ying!"

"Ying ying ying!"

All the foxes queued up to play with it, all highly exhilarated.

But none of the foxes noticed that Pang Youyou never queued. It just squatted beside the Electric Drill Cactus, reaching out a paw, randomly stroking the cactus!

It couldn't draw out the drill… after all, its presence is too low, its peers don't notice it, and neither does the cactus!

Unable to draw out the drill like other peers, it felt a bit depressed.

But since the other peers couldn't touch the cactus, only it could, it felt quite happy!

...

Not far away, on the bed, Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

Pang Youyou's "low presence" ability seems increasingly exaggerated, increasingly abnormal recently.

Through Divine Sense investigation, nothing amiss could be detected… it eats a lot, sleeps well, with a healthier physique than anyone.

"Let's continue observing for now."

Habitually, Bai Mo opened his palm, white mist of blurred dreamscape and reality floated, peering through the mist towards the Fire Toad Balloon.

"Hm, everything's normal."

Adjusting his view, looking down from high above, he saw through the clouds the Committee's checkpoint outside the volcano mouth was completed, a row of seven or eight houses.

"Such high efficiency."
