On a large, flat top boulder, left of the center mount, something caught Emperor Lam eyes, a red fox standing there staring at them for several minutes then run off. Emperor Lam curiously head toward where the fox were, as they climbing through the slippery mossy boulders, they saw 4 mummified corpse lie on the moss, one of the 4 corpses Emperor Lam can recognized base on the clothes the corpse is wearing, that corpse is the ill-fated Taosih Yung. When Emperor Lam reached the flat top boulder, before his eyes lie the leathery pod they had found previously in the white fox den, but the pod is significantly bigger than the last time he saw it, not only that he can feel a fain qigun aura radiating from the pod. "it have magic?" "what on earth is it?" " is it have anything to do with the beast?" Emperor Lam wondering and step closer to the pod with sword in one hand and the other hand reach out to the pod. But before he can touch it, Emperor Lam felt another qigun aura rus.h.i.+ng toward them from the end of the chamber. And not for long, the white fox is standing at the cave tunnel at the end of the chamber, baring its fangs threateningly, staring at them.

This time the white fox not even bother to create the mist veil to conceal itself, the beast charging through the slippery boulders toward Emperor Lam ferociously. Emperor Lam swiftly leap to center mount, moment before the white fox gigantic paws crus.h.i.+ng down on the spot where he was. The beast standing between them and the leathery pod, staring them with a piecing gaze, those eyes seemingly glowing red and fill with fury, its head lowered, fur puffed up, baring fangs growling. Hunter Tao unleased his arrow, though the arrow hit but it only p.i.s.s the fox off. The beast turn its gaze toward Hunter Tao, its eyes turn white and seconds late the hunter screaming in fear, like there some invisible horror in front of him. With a strange roar echoing the cave chamber, Seven Finger lunge forth, saber in hand and aiming at the fox neck. The fox turn around swiping is paws at the bald lizardmen, force Seven Finger to recede to avoid those giant paws. The 2 Brocade Cloak Guards quickly closed distain, and swing behind the beast, make it have to turn it head to watch out for them. s.n.a.t.c.h the moment the fox distracted, Emperor Lam sunk his blade deep in the fox's shoulder then leap out of its attack ranger. Red blood pouring out from the wounds soaked the white fur on its leg, outnumber and surrounded, yet the fox still stand where it are, it is seem the beast is defending that leathery pod. "Why?" Emperor Lam wonder, then a small bulge swell up on the pod surface, and move slightly before disappeared, there are something inside the pod, "Is it the fox's offspring? If so it must not be born." Emperor Lam think. When he saw the fox was distracted by the 2 Brocade Cloak Guard again, Emperor Lam leap forward, his sword's tip aim at the pod, when his sword only liamis (1 liami = 1 milimeter) from the leather pod, the fox charge at him and ram its head at Emperor Lam knocked him aside, then it pounce at him, as it about to bite Emperor Lam head off, Seven Finger jump on its back swinging his saber on its flesh. Pianfully, the beast shaking it body violently and shook Seven Finger down. It turn to the bald lizardmen ready to pay back for the stab wound on it back, at that moment Emperor Lam got back on his feet and breathe fire at the beast's face. Badly burned, excruciating pain and with its fur on fire the fox trying to escape through the cave tunnel it came from. But before it could reach the tunnel, a giant boulder flung at the fox by Emperor Lam telekinesis and crush it rear leg and pinned it on the ground, Emperor Lam quickly came near and keep breathe fire at it, the white fox let out gruesome howls of pain, echoing the cave as the fire swallowing its body and searing its flesh, after a few minute the beast are nothing but a smoking charred corpse, reek with awful burned flesh smell.

"Your Majesty, you need to see this." Seven Finger called

Emperor Lam climb his way back to the flat top boulder where everybody are gathering around that strange pod. Before his eyes, there is a small tear on the pod and a transparent liquid is leaking out of the pod, then the thing inside the pod move violently again making the small tear become wider. The transparent liquid inside the pod oozing out with a fishy smell, and the pod partially deflated and a minute later a creature emerge from it. The creature cover in fluid, fumble it way out of the pod, it look like a fully formed kit with a size of a small dog, white fur, its eye have not open yet and it have what seem to be a tail branched into three separated tails. After few second out of the pod, the kit let out a soft moan, calling for its mother. Hunter Tao curiously touch the creature, and right and the moment his finger touch the kit's noses, the hunter convulsing continuously, and unable to retract his hand, his eyes roll up and mouth foaming. A Brocade Cloak Guard trying to help the hunter but suffered the same fate when he touch Hunter Tao. With his magic ability Emperor Lam can sense qigun are being drain from the 2 men to the kit, and in a few minutes they will die. With a quick stab Emperor Lam's blade pieced through the kit chest, kill it instantly and free the men. After that they gather bamboo and burn all the remains of the kit, the leathery pod and the white fox to ashes in the cave and return to Bai Ni.
