Since the resources were scarce in Fox Cave, the discontentment from various sects became clearer, and their displeasure as well as all sorts of other emotions became stronger as they accumulated!
Many of the sects formed their own cliques in secret.
They no longer believed in the three sects who led them. In fact, they believed that the three sects had used the chance to intentionally be heavy-handed and limit their chances to obtain resources.
However, due to Happy’s existence, the resources in the second level of Fox Cave, and the mystery around the third level of Fox Cave, which no one had ever entered before, the animosity between the sects was maintained at a delicate level. No one wanted to be the first to break the balance of the alliance between the sects.
Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect might have witnessed all of it, but they were more concerned about Happy and his party, whose strength remained unfathomable and whose whereabouts were unknown.


They had to get rid of the unstable element if they wanted to carry out their plan!
As time passed, the number of fox monsters in Fox Cave reduced. The people from the sects cleared up all the fox monsters at the entrance to the second level of Fox Cave, which was the third gathering spot.
But there was always one vixen left behind in the two tunnels, as if there was no one who would care about them, and they just ran about madly.

Scree!

A fiery-red vixen with beautiful curves smiled in a coquettish manner. She pursued a high-tier martial artist from Perpetual Joy Sect. That sect member had already activated his high-tier body fortification technique, and when he was attacked, he only swayed a little before continuing forward while looking around him.
There were multiple high-tier martial artists from various sects in the cave and tunnels. They only watched everything quietly. They did not stop the man, and neither did anyone go up to kill the vixen.
All the people gathered at the entrance to the second level!
Before long, two players with high-tier body fortification techniques and two vixens trailing behind them returned to the entrance. They arrived in front of Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy to report what they saw.

All of us are here. There’s no one in the first level now.


It’s the same on my side. I can’t find those guys!



The two people’s answers made the leaders of the two sects scowl. However, they did not doubt the accuracy of the information. Aside from the two top-tier martial artists who could withstand the vixens’ attacks without problem, there were also two groups of top-tier martial artists who had joined them to search through the entire first level of Fox Cave.
A single person might not be able to notice Happy and his party, but if an entire team joined them, no matter how complicated Fox Cave was, it was impossible for them to leave behind any blind spots or undiscovered areas.
The two leaders were silent. They cast each other a glance with solemn looks.

Looks like they logged off after making their way to this point.


That brat, he’s smart!


What should we do now?

The two of them felt a little bleak and regretful. They had been ready to take down Happy and earn a whole load of money from him, but they did not expect that he would run until even his shadow could not be found. Just as the rumors said, he was not easy to deal with!

Since he left, let’s forget it. We’ll have plenty of chances in the future to make him give up his money! We should focus on our main task right now. Let’s enter the second level!


Alright.

They redirected their gazes and looked at the leaders of the other sects. When their gazes landed on Red Dust, who was already a little impatient from all the waiting, their pupils narrowed a little.



Kill them!
they gave the order.
A group of players surrounded the two vixens who were still running around wildly and did not know what was going on. They brought out their weapons and killed the two fox monsters.
Boom!
At the end of the first level of Fox Cave was a huge mountain rock. Under hundreds of players’ gazes, it let out deafening roars before it slid down.
A huge dark cave appeared before everyone!
It was the entrance to the second level of Fox Cave.
Situ Luoyu laughed and said,
Everyone, you must already know that some unexpected situations have arisen today. The number of resources in the first level was disrupted by Happy’s party, causing many of us to be unable to gain any benefits whatsoever.

Fallen Feathers Sect has also been harmed by his actions, but we can only express our regret toward this. However, there are still resources in the second level. Yet the Mystical Realm White Foxes and the hidden boss Dead She-wolf are very difficult to deal with. Once we enter the second level, let’s fight on our own based on our abilities! I hope that we’ll all be able to get some rewards.

He paused for a moment, and his tone changed.
I’ll stop talking now. Everyone, please enter!

Situ Luoyu stood at the entrance to the second level and made a gesture to invite the other sects to enter.


The moment he finished speaking, the sects responded.

If that’s the case, then we’ll take our leave first!

A group of people swiftly walked out, thanked Situ Luoyu with their fists in their palms, and entered the second level impatiently.

Let’s go!

The leaders of the sects quickly brought their men and charged into the second level.
The second and the first levels were different!
Even though the second level was more dangerous, the entrance itself was not. Besides, there were not many rooms in the second level. This meant that the resources were not as plentiful as in the first level either. If they killed a fox monster, it would not respawn. If they did not fight for a time, they might not be able to get any loot.
Even Chivalry Sect entered the second level swiftly. They did not spend any time for small talk.
Strangely, the people from Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect defended the entrance very quietly. They did not enter the second level to fight for the resources with the other sects. It was as if they were not worried that the resources inside would be divided completely among the other sects.
The two leaders crossed their arms and stood around leisurely. They watched with faint smiles on their faces the sects push and shove each other to enter the second level. The two men looked very relaxed.


When only the people of the two sects were left at the entrance, a bleak gust of cold wind blew at the group who was fully equipped and waiting to fight.

We should leave now, or else they will begin to suspect us.


Haha, you’re right. Please, go on ahead!

Situ Luoyu smiled and made a gesture for Solitary Perpetual Joy to enter.
Solitary Perpetual Joy did not decline Situ Luoyu’s offer. He swept his gaze over the entrance, and the people from Perpetual Joy Sect brought their men in a continuous stream!
Once Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect entered the second level, Situ Luoyu became the last person to enter the second level. When he arrived at the entrance, he suddenly paused for a moment, feeling like he had just heard something. He instinctively turned his head around to cast a glance at the tunnel to the right.
A light crease appeared at the center of his eyebrows. He listened for a few seconds, but he did not hear anything again, and the crease disappeared. He shook his head and entered the second level without even turning his head around.
The entrance to the first level of Fox Cave was completely silent.
But that silence did not last for even half a minute.
A figure clad in Yellow Dragon Archer Gear moved out of a corner of the right tunnel, which was the last place Situ Luoyu had observed. The person had a heroic bearing. The young man stared at the spot where Situ Luoyu had vanished and frowned slightly. Clearly, he was Happy, whom Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy thought had left Fox Cave.
He turned around resolutely.
Happy moved toward the second junction, then stopped in front of a normal-looking stone wall.
Whoosh!
Hundred-battle Saber landed in his hand, and a dark blue saber glow shone.
Rumble!
The stone wall in front of him suddenly showed the picture of a ferocious beast baring its fangs. It crumbled instantly, and as dust flew in the air, it revealed a black cave.

Ack, blergh.
Little North moved out with an expression that said he thought he was unlucky while he fanned off the dust. He stood in front of Happy.

What the heck is that place? It stank of fox, I almost died from the smell!

Happy ignored him. He went to open two other caves by the side and released All-powerful Medicinal Stone and Thunderous Battle.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone was in disbelief. He stared at Happy as if he was staring at a ghost.

We’ve been exploring this place for more than a month, and we never discovered something like that. How did you notice it?!

He was sure that it was the first time Happy had come to Fox Cave, so how did he notice the secret mechanism that even the veterans did not know about?
