Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 82 Encountering a Fox Demon
After a day of rest, Xu Feng, whose appetite had returned to normal, retested his condition.

After stimulating the evolutionary ability of the T virus to transform himself once, his weight increased by about 10 kilograms and now weighs 86 kilograms.

Strength increased by nearly 30%.

Without activating the gene lock, his current maximum snatch strength is about 640 kilograms; he can run at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour for half an hour while carrying a load of no more than 60 kilograms; and he can jog for 200 kilometers while carrying a load of kilograms.

Things like endurance, resistance to blows, and wound recovery ability have also been greatly improved.

Even his ability in that area has improved a lot. Now he doesn't need internal force to relieve fatigue. He can have a good fight with Tifa with pure physical strength. As for Hanasaka Shoko, a little loser whose physical fitness has hardly been enhanced, Xu Feng has to be careful when dealing with her, so as not to hurt her by too intense movements.

In general, according to the values in the main god space, the physical fitness improved in this transformation is estimated to be 200~300 points. Direct strengthening will cost at least reward points.

Not much.

But it also allowed Xu Feng to see the bright future of the T virus evolution model bloodline.

It also made him understand that when evaluating the bloodline of the Lord God, one must not completely refer to the attributes marked by the Lord God.

Those attributes are only the most basic state of the bloodline. If the bloodline wants to become stronger, it needs to be explored personally by the reincarnator.

After deciding to wait until Xiangzi had strengthened his mental scanning before brushing up on the points, Xu Feng and the other two first found an inn to rest for three days before rushing to Taoist Simu's house.

Passing by Renjia Town on the way, Xu Feng visited Uncle Jiu again.

Two months later, Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery, which had been burned to ashes, had been renovated.

Coincidentally, Taoist Simu was also passing by here while driving corpses and was staying overnight at Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery.

Xu Feng noticed that Taoist Simu always liked to hold a sword wrapped in a peach wood sheath when communicating with Uncle Jiu. He would draw out the sword that was shining with golden light from time to time and act in a cold manner.

This made the petty Uncle Jiu shake his head repeatedly.

As soon as the sun set, Uncle Jiu urged Taoist Simu to get down to business, work harder, and quickly return the money he had borrowed from his fellow disciples.

Xu Feng also took the opportunity to travel together with Taoist Simu.

"Master, do you owe other masters a lot of money?"

On the way, Xu Feng asked curiously.

He remembered that in the plot of "Uncle Zombie", Taoist Simu was quite arrogant. He once held a box of gold bars and prepared to buy the house of his neighbor Master Ikkyu from his neighbor Master Ikkyu.

Moreover, his large and powerful swords made of pure copper were not light, and the materials alone were worth a lot of money.

Taoist Simu glanced at Xu Feng and said with a smile: "This is naturally thanks to you."

He drew out the sword in his hand and said, "After obtaining ten kilograms of black iron and copper essence from you, I returned to Maoshan and asked my fellow disciples to perform a ritual to help me forge this sword."

"I provided the main materials, and I can repay my fellow apprentices' favors later. However, the various auxiliary materials like spiritual charcoal, plus the labor costs of more than a dozen veteran blacksmiths for over a month... all these expenses fell on me. The little money I had accumulated from carrying corpses was simply not enough."

Taoist Simu spread his hands and said, "So I owe a huge debt."

Obviously, Taoist Simu did not care about the money he owed, otherwise he would not have shown off the sword to his creditor Uncle Jiu.

This made Xu Feng feel particularly surprised.

This is the benefit of having good relations with famous and upright sects. Since the Taoist priests on Mount Mao have the ability to smelt extraordinary metals, he will bring more extraordinary metals when he comes to this world next time.

He, Tifa, Shoko, and the second humanoid he was planning to create would all have melee weapons and armor soon! As for rewards, the gold in the main god space was the least valuable!
Xu Feng smiled and asked, "Master, I actually have a larger piece of black iron at home. I wonder if I could use your help to refine it into a weapon? The reward is easy to negotiate. As you know, I have a considerable family background. There is nothing else at home except money."

Taoist Simu did not think for too long and agreed to Xu Feng's request.

After all, he was able to forge the sword in his hand mainly relying on the materials in Xu Feng's hands, so he had to acknowledge this favor.

Moreover, Simu was also very curious about how much black iron Xu Feng had in his hands. That kind of stuff was not easy to find.

Just when Xu Feng thought that this time he would still return there safely, just like the first time he visited Taoist Simu's house.

Who knew that when they were halfway there.

A white figure flashed in the forest.

The figure took advantage of the time when Xu Feng and Taoist Simu were asking how to break the various evil spells and secretly stole a corpse.

Seeing this, before Taoist Simu could take any action, Tifa chased after him under Xu Feng's instructions.

The white figure also had some magical skills, and could control the wind and fly in the air for a short time at a height of more than three meters.

But her close combat ability is much worse.

Tifa first jumped several meters above the flying white figure, then turned in the air and kicked the figure in the lower abdomen, knocking it to the ground.

After landing, Tifa made another volley, kicking the white figure more than ten meters away, and finally landed in front of Xu Feng and Taoist Simu.

The white figure fainted after being kicked twice in a row by Tifa, revealing his true form.

"Vixen?"

Xu Feng looked at the large gray-haired fox.

He knew that a fox spirit appeared at the beginning of the plot of "Uncle Zombie", but he didn't expect that he would encounter this plot.

With the help of the camera on the glasses, Xu Feng discovered that the fox transformed into a human form entirely by relying on illusion and did not transform into a human form.

Taoist Simu shook his head. He guessed the reason why the fox spirit stole the corpse: "Alas, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is getting less and less. These mountain spirits and monsters are becoming more and more unscrupulous in order to survive. They even dare to absorb the spiritual power from the corpse."

When he was forging the black iron sword, he had already learned from his ancestor that the era of practicing Taoism was about to end.

After several decades, it is difficult to cultivate the Tao.

These Taoists have their ancestors to rely on, so the pressure is not that great, but the mountain spirits and monsters who rely more on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be miserable when faced with such a drastic change.

Taoist Simu saw that the vixen was only knocked unconscious, but not dead, so he asked, "Xiaoyou Xu, how do you plan to deal with this vixen?"

Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Just keep it as a pet for now. When it wakes up, I want to ask it some questions, such as whether it knows the whereabouts of other goblins and ghosts."

He always likes to follow the clues, and maybe he can find more monsters by following the network of relationships of this vixen.

Moreover, this is a demon! Able to cultivate illusion and charm, this vixen must have a cultivation method that is more advanced than the internal force method.

"My friend, you'd better be careful. The fox spirit's charm is no joke." Taoist Simu reminded.

"Master, please rest assured. I will be well protected when interrogating it."
