Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 90 The Ghost Fox Advisor's Path to Survival~
The leader of Black Wind Stronghold was named Deng Tong, nicknamed "Mountain-Opening Axe." He was probably in his early forties and had the robust physique typical of people from Liaodong.

He was eight feet tall, with a waist three feet wide, and extremely thick arms and legs, like a gnarled tree trunk that had been deeply rooted for decades.

This person has a large, square face, thick, but short eyebrows. His eyes are small, with single eyelids, and a scar at the corner of his left eye.

He had a large nose, a deep philtrum, a large mouth, thick lips, a stubble beard, and a square chin.

As you can tell from his nickname, this man is skilled with a mountain-splitting axe, the head of which is as big as a small pot lid! You can tell it's heavy just by looking at it.

This person is ruthless and often kills to establish his authority. He would frequently cut a person in half with an axe, or cut a person in two pieces, to intimidate merchants and travelers.

According to the data provided by the players, this person is level 26 and a leader unit.

Arm strength should be 50+, constitution 40+, agility average, around 30, perception decent at 35, but willpower is a bit weak, only 17.

This stat is considered a significant weakness compared to other bosses at this level.

The second and third leaders of Black Wind Stronghold have a willpower attribute of 25+, and the fox demon advisor has a willpower attribute of 40+, which is quite terrifying!
According to players' explorations, this willpower attribute often represents the NPC's temperament.

The more determined a person's mindset, the higher their willpower.

Such people are either persistent and persevering, or they are devoid of humanity and extremely ruthless and sinister.

Generally, it is either innate or formed after experiencing some major upheaval.

Because this leader's willpower attribute is average, many players will use targeted strategies when trying to defeat him.

Because it's indeed difficult to fight head-on.

Players have compiled a list of Deng Tong's abilities, and he has three blue-quality martial arts skills! He also knows two blue-quality spells!
High stats, many skills, and lots of minions...

According to the drop rate chart, this person possesses six different martial arts techniques, ranging from internal energy cultivation to lightness skills, from weaponry to military martial arts.

【Ling Shuang Jin (Green)】, 【Gan Shan Bu (Green)】, 【Thirty-Six Roads Mountain-Opening Axe Method (Green)】, 【Six Ding Soldiers Armor Method (Blue)】.

Oh right, there's also a cultivation technique called [Earth-Shaking Technique (Blue)].

It is said that someone had done the relevant task, saying that Deng Tong was just a nobody bodyguard in the martial arts world when he was in his early twenties.

Then one day, he had a miraculous encounter: eight people went in, and he came out alone. From then on, he soared to great heights.

After wandering the martial arts world for six or seven years, he gathered a group of men and became a mountain king.

There were chivalrous and extraordinary people in Liaodong who wanted to get rid of him, but in the end they all failed.

There are related tasks for this. Once the task chain is completed, you can ask some martial arts heroes who have a grudge against Deng Tong to help you fight the boss.

There was once an elite five-man player squad in the game who tried to break through the mountain axe Deng Tong, only to be hacked to pieces by the axe and almost lost their underwear.

Three out of five people are dead!
Lifespan reduced, equipment damaged, skills downgraded, experience points reduced... suddenly income couldn't cover expenses.

……

Chen Xiuxian felt some pressure as he single-handedly stopped this big boss.

The main purpose was to test my combat ability, since I also have several fierce battles to fight in the real world soon.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that you won't die in the dungeon and play a few rounds hard, you won't feel confident.

Besides, he also had another motive aimed at this head of the gang whose will was not firm.

If all else fails, you can always run!

He also has four teammates and a bunch of underlings!

Can a skilled player suffocate a boss?
……

Chen Xiuxian held the Long Rainbow Sword in one hand and pointed the other with his fingers, controlling the Corpse Biting Sword that was suspended in mid-air, intending to start a battle with the leader.

The battle for control of the mountain stronghold's gates has reached its climax.

Although those bandits were extremely cruel to ordinary people, they had been ruling the mountains here for almost ten years and had always been at large.

But they were, after all, a motley crew, and when faced with such a fierce battle, their morale plummeted to rock bottom within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

When General Tian Ce rode his white steed, he charged in and out of the crowd seven times, killing henchmen and minor leaders with his spear, just like Zhao Zilong capturing the flag at Changban Slope.

These bandits couldn't hold out any longer!
Some people have already started sneaking away to hide.

The humanoid mechanical puppet, about ten feet tall and made of iron and wood, swung back and forth with a door-shaped sword. Anyone who touched it would spit out blood and roll far away.

The broken sword in his hand could only make a clanging sound when it struck. And behind the puppet soldiers were a dozen or so little demons, wielding swords, spears, and clubs, attacking him.

The little fairies looked timid and hesitant, yet their killing efficiency was surprisingly high. After all, they were high-level!
Even more terrifying, atop the gate tower of that mountain stronghold, a large iron cannon fired every few dozen seconds.

Like a thunderclap, it's guaranteed that three or five unlucky people will be blasted into the air, landing in pieces.

What the hell is the point of fighting?!

However, just as the bandits had lost sixty or seventy men and were about to turn around and run away...

The fox demon advisor, who used the "substitute death method" to make his puppet soldiers lose their heads in his place, made his move.

He first threw something and smashed it on the ground, instantly filling the air with smoke that obscured himself and the puppet soldiers around him.

Then he pulled a small brocade pouch from his sleeve, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and mumbled something incoherently while chewing it.

At this moment, an eerie aura permeated the air, and his face changed shape. His mouth and nose lengthened, and the corners of his eyes turned outward, transforming him into a half-fox, half-human figure.

He is level 24 and is a wild fox spirit.

Fox spirits are also divided into different paths, roughly into three types: fox fairy, fox demon, and fox ghost.

Becoming a fox spirit is no easy feat. Even in Liaodong, those who are called fox spirits all have connections!

You have to be part of the Five Immortals system, which usually involves blood relations. You either have a master or a powerful backer.

You must walk the "right path," do good deeds, help others solve their problems, accumulate good karma, and use it to avert disasters and calamities.

It is generally under the management of Taishan Tianhu Academy, so it is considered a semi-official position.

Like ordinary fox demons, who embark on the path of cultivation without really understanding it, many of them will face tribulations after cultivating for a certain number of years.

From dogs to hunters, even lightning strikes—it's all there. That's pure, unorthodox methods, fraught with misfortune every now and then, it's incredibly difficult!

Why would so many fox spirits choose to hide in human dwellings? Why would so many fox maidens marry scholars? Because they can find refuge and avoid calamity!

As for fox spirits and demons, there's no need to mention them. Those who walk the evil path and practice evil magic.

Generally, they have a fast start, many spells, and enjoy many "benefits" early, but they often face great calamities. If they encounter any righteous people, they will inevitably want to kill them.

Of course, there are relatively few righteous people in Liaodong.

There is another kind of celestial fox, which seeks its bloodline; that is a legend.

This fox demon advisor, Hu San, is a self-taught fox spirit; otherwise, he wouldn't have given himself the name Hu San.

Isn't this a violation of the taboo name of Master Hu San?

By chance, he absorbed the vital energy of the dead in a mass grave and became a spirit.

Then I had a few lucky encounters and learned some evil magic. It was basically illusion magic, foxfire, ghost wind, and controlling ghosts.

For a normal fairy to transform into human form, it generally needs to be level 40. Dou Zhongde is an example of a fairy in human form. He is fine in daily life, but he will turn back into a giant rat if he is attacked.

Even if a fox spirit is exceptionally talented, skilled in transformation and illusion, and transforms into human form earlier, she still cannot transform into human form at level 24.

This Master Hu used a clever but evil trick—the Moonlight Skull Transformation Technique!

It requires finding a human skull that fits perfectly with one's own head, placing it on one's head, and performing a special moon-worshiping ritual on the night of the full moon. In short, it's an unorthodox and unorthodox practice.

If you complete all the quests in this dungeon in the game, one of them involves an orphan girl who asks you to retrieve her barber father's skull.

—That unfortunate barber went up the mountain to shave the heads of bandits, and ended up being chosen by the clerk because of his head shape!

The other three leaders also had similar tasks.

……

At this moment, the smoke bomb-like object thrown out by the fox demon advisor was an illusion.

This is no ordinary cigarette; if an ordinary person takes a puff, they will immediately enter a hallucination.

The brocade pouch he was chewing on contained the hair of the village's underlings and leaders!
As he chewed, he cast a spell, and the bandits who had already begun to flee stopped in their tracks, swaying and staggering, their eyes glazed over, drooling.

In just five or six breaths, these people, their skin bloodshot, their eyes bloodshot, their expressions ferocious and furious, raised their weapons and charged toward the gate tower of the mountain stronghold!
He was completely out of his mind, filled only with a frenzied killing intent, to the point that he didn't even realize he was pushing and trampling the slower henchmen under his feet.

They charged forward like a group of enhanced zombies armed with weapons!
