Escape System: [Ah! Master Bai Lixin, are you going to enter a copy now? Didn’t the player named Zhou Guang just remind you not to enter any copies recently?!]
Bai Lixin: [Yes, I know. Okay, load the copy.]
Escape System: […Brother M, Master the Bai Lixin heard me, right?]
S419M: [He heard, he said, load the copy.]
The escape system was very conflicted: [Do you really want to enter the copy now? Won’t it be dangerous?]
Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly turned cold: [Good fortune is not calamity, and calamity cannot be avoided. The Shentian Guild wants to snipe me? Well, once inside the copy, we don’t know who will be sniping whom. My temper has improved after becoming a god, but that doesn’t mean I have no temper. Back in the days when I stirred up the world, these people didn’t even know where they were. They shouldn’t overestimate their capabilities.]
[First, they oppressed our guild with their power, then they stood us up, and now they’re openly threatening me?]
[I’ve given them so many chances, but they keep pushing it.]
A cold light flashed in his eyes. [I’m really angry now. Let’s go, to the copy!]
S419M: [That’s right, you heard it, Sister System. Lord Host is very angry now. Let me tell you, Sister System, the Shentian Guild is finished. They could provoke anyone, but why provoke our Lord Host? If a tiger doesn’t show its might, they’ll treat it like a sick cat? Come on, Lord Host, let them see your power!]
Escape System: [Alright then, Master Bai Lixin, please check your backpack and see if you need any supplies. I suggest you take everything you can to ensure your safety.]
Bai Lixin: [Already bought everything.]
Escape System: [Okay, player Bai Lixin, you are about to enter the game copy. The game copy is random. Once locked, you will enter the copy immediately. Please confirm.]
[Confirm/Cancel]
Bai Lixin pressed the [Confirm] button.
Escape System: [Player confirmation successful. Now, let’s proceed to lock on a copy.]
[Ding! Copy locked successfully. Now, the copy teleportation begins!]
As the system’s voice fell, a black vortex appeared under Bai Lixin’s feet.
When he first entered the vortex, everything was the same as every other teleportation.
But a few seconds after he entered, a huge vortex suddenly swept around him. Bai Lixin felt his body being swept away by this vortex, and he was forcefully rolled inside.
The anxious voice of the escape system rang in his mind, accompanied by the flashing red alert.
[Ding! Warning! Warning! Player detected to be deviating from the target copy. Emergency recovery teleportation initiated. Teleportation location: Player’s dormitory.]
[Ding! Warning, warning! Teleportation failed! Player has completed 70% of the teleportation, teleportation cannot be interrupted. Emergency change of copy mode initiated. Please complete the specified task in this copy, good luck to the player.]
With one impatient voice after another from the escape system, Bai Lixin got a splitting headache in the huge vortex.
He didn’t know how long had passed until the massive impact completely disappeared.
He opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a lush green jungle.
The notification sound that was supposed to play every time he entered an copy didn’t ring out, there was no introduction to the copy, no task introduction, and his body didn’t freeze in place.
[Escape System?]
[S419M?]
Bai Lixin called out twice in his mind, but received no response.
Could it be that he lost contact during the teleportation just now?
What about his backpack and the system interface?
Bai Lixin quickly sank his consciousness into his mind, and only when he confirmed that the system interface and backpack could still be opened did he withdraw his consciousness.
This shouldn’t be a coincidence.
During his previous copy teleportations, such issues had never occurred, but as soon as the Shentian Guild targeted him, his teleportation went wrong.
The reason for deviating from the copy was probably that the Shentian Guild used some special prop to suck him into this copy.
Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Can a player’s prop be so bugged to the extent that it can affect another player’s game copy?
Could this prop be activated directly, or were there conditions for activation?
If it could be directly activated, then this prop would be incredibly overpowered and unlikely to exist.
But if it required conditions, what conditions had he met to end up here?
As he pondered, he looked up at the sky and noticed that the leaves and the sky above seemed unusually tall.
Did he enter some kind of giant copy this time?
Just as he thought about it, he felt something furry brush against his cheek.
He turned his head and was instantly stunned by what he saw.
In front of him were several beautiful foxes.
The usually small foxes were now as big as a person.
All the foxes huddled together, colorful in various hues: some white, some yellow, and others black.
These foxes didn’t seem hostile towards him, the one that licked him earlier was a black fox among them.
Bai Lixin stared at these foxes for a moment, then looked at the significantly tall grass and trees around him. He had a sudden bold idea in his mind.
He lowered his head and saw fur.
Then he extended his “hand” and discovered a furry red paw emerging.
He tried to spread his five fingers and found that the claws also extended, sharp hooks emerging when he opened his hand.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Had he turned into…?
Bai Lixin felt a slight shock, and after realizing it, he quickly reached out to touch his lower abdomen.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after touching the two small balls.
The black fox beside him came over and affectionately licked Bai Lixin’s cheek. Just as Bai Lixin was about to push the black fox away, all the foxes simultaneously perked up their ears, standing up alertly and looking in a certain direction.
The black fox beside him was no exception.
Bai Lixin was momentarily stunned and quickly imitated their posture, standing up.
The next moment, he saw the black fox open its mouth, and someone’s voice came into his ears: “It’s a demon hunter! Everyone, run! Scatter and run, meet at the usual place! Honghong, come with me!”
After speaking, all the foxes exploded away in all directions, disappearing into the surrounding jungle.
The black fox didn’t leave but stared at Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin immediately understood; he was “Honghong.”
He nodded, and in the next second, a black and red fox dashed out one after the other.
The black fox ran incredibly fast. Bai Lixin, who had just transformed into a wild animal, was not yet accustomed to this body and could only barely keep up with it despite putting in all his effort.
After running for a while, he suddenly heard a series of intense explosions in his ears.
With a booming sound, he could feel the vibrations under his feet.
At the same time, a sharp and shrill fox cry entered Bai Lixin’s ears.
The black fox cursed, “Damn demon hunter!”
After cursing, it sped up even more.
A demon hunter and a talking fox.
So in this copy, he wasn’t just an ordinary fox; he was a fox demon?
The explosions around them grew louder, and amidst the explosions, the foxes’ cries followed one after another.
Listening to the explosions getting closer to them, a black mist suddenly surged around the black fox. In the next second, the black fox in front of him disappeared, replaced by an old man wearing a black robe.
The old man wasted no time. He took something out of his own bosom and stuffed it into Bai Lixin’s mouth, pointing urgently in a certain direction. “Honghong! Run, don’t let these demon hunters catch you! I’ll stay here to block them. This is our fox clan’s treasure. Escape, find a place to hide. Don’t think about saving us!”
After he finished speaking, the old man waved his hand at Bai Lixin, who had a bead in his mouth. Bai Lixin’s body instantly felt light, as if he were flying.
He glanced back while running and saw several figures emerging from the forest far behind him, all rushing towards the black silhouette.
Two people attempted to chase him, but the black fox barked angrily, forcing them to stay behind.
Bai Lixin didn’t dare to linger; he took a quick glance and sprinted forward with all his strength.
Is this what the Shentian Guild calls sniping?
Are those people from the Shentian Guild, or are they these monster hunters?
Or is this just the beginning?
The bead in his mouth was a translucent red sphere, about five centimeters in diameter, making it quite uncomfortable.
He tried to put it in his backpack and surprisingly, it fit.
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted behind him. He glanced back and saw that the black-clothed fox had been subdued. The demon hunters were bending over the fox, seemingly searching for something.
“I saw another one go that way just now!”
“That fox was with this old guy just now; maybe it took the bead. Go after it!”
Some remained behind searching, while a few chased in his direction.
Bai Lixin quickened his pace.
Due to his small size and the tall vegetation around him obstructing his view, he had to rely on instinct and his sixth sense to swiftly maneuver through the unfamiliar jungle.
The pursuit of the demon hunters echoed behind him. Bai Lixin continued to weave through dense thickets and bushes until he suddenly halted upon reaching a particularly dense area. Before him was a cliff.
The footsteps behind him gradually drew near, accompanied by voices.
“Don’t run, you can’t escape.”
“Hurry, give us the bead! We might let you die intact.”
Bai Lixin looked up at the humans, who now seemed like colossal creatures to him, cautiously stepping backward.
They were all wearing ancient robes, a uniform blue color, with their hair neatly tied into a bun. They appeared to belong to a sect.
He attempted to retrieve his scythe from his backpack, but the system displayed a red warning message on the screen.
[Friendly reminder: Your weapon doesn’t suit you, you can’t retrieve it.]
He tried for the dagger, but received the same message.
Doesn’t suit him?
He doesn’t even have hands now!
Damn it!
Bai Lixin glanced down at the cliff below. There was a swift river, and not far from the river, a steep waterfall.
His eyes swiftly scanned the surroundings and the cliff. He quickly focused on a point.
Seeing the demon hunters closing in, every muscle in his body tensed. He swiftly darted forward, like a red lightning bolt, skillfully slipping beneath the demon hunters’ feet, and jumped off the cliff.
The demon hunters were startled and quickly came to the edge of the cliff.
They witnessed a dark shadow plunging into the water and disappearing.
“Damn, it even dares to jump off a cliff.”
“Quick, should we pursue?”
“Pursue!” Rustling sounds came from behind the trees. A cold voice rang out, “We’ve searched all the foxes, the bead isn’t on any of them. So the bead must be on the red fox from earlier.”
This man was dressed a bit differently from the others. Although he still wore a blue robe, it was noticeably more luxurious and adorned with patterns.
He was probably the leader of this group.
He first surveyed the cliff’s edge and then ordered sternly, “Stop standing there! Quickly head downstream. If our master finds out we failed this mission, we won’t get away unscathed!”
After he finished speaking, the group hurriedly moved toward the downstream.
The noisy cliff soon became empty, and the surroundings returned to their usual tranquility.
On the steep cliff wall, there was a narrow platform barely enough for one person to stand.
Suddenly, a red paw extended out of thin air on the empty platform, followed by another paw.
Soon, a fluffy fire-red fox appeared.
This fox had a tuft of white fur on its forehead; the rest of its body was a deep red without any other colors.
When the wind blew, it ruffled the fox’s sleek, thick fur, making it look like a brilliant flame, dazzling and vibrant.
The fox’s eyes were amber-colored; in the sunlight, they seemed translucent, as if there were stars twinkling inside.
The fiery red fox glanced up at the steep wall, and let out a long sigh from his pointed mouth.
Fortunately, prop cards could still be used; there was no concept of “suitable” or “unsuitable.”
So, did he have to endure this copy with a fox’s body?
‘Where are you, system?
What’s the task exactly?’
Damn it, if he found out who got him into this mess, that person would be in deep trouble.
[Lord Host, I’m back!] S419M: [Wuuuu, I’ve crossed mountains, rivers and seas, rushing to you. I can flatten everything just to meet you. Have you missed me?]
S419M’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Bai Lixin’s eyes lit up, and the next moment, the Escape System’s voice rang out.
Escape System: [Ding! Player Bai Lixin, I’m back too. Long time no see.]
Bai Lixin: [Where were you guys just now?]
Escape System: [You were disrupted by an unknown force during the teleportation, so you fell into a single player copy. Since this copy isn’t part of the original copies, I was blocked during your movement. I just broke the blockade and reestablished the connection with you.]
[Sorry, for keeping you waiting.]
Bai Lixin: [It’s okay, you’re back. Any tasks?]
Escape System: [Yes, I just scanned this copy. However, because this is a private copy, the background I introduced to you might be incomplete or incorrect. You’ll have to judge that yourself.]
Bai Lixin: [What do you mean by a private copy?]
[It belongs to a player,] the Escape System answered seriously. [Just like… do you remember the single player copy you participated in before, called [Deep Sea Mermaid]? That was a private copy. If a player advances to a high floor, there’s a random chance they’ll become the master of a copy. After becoming the copy master, the player has management privileges, but it’s not without restrictions.]
[In this copy, they can play as NPCs or pull specific players into the copy to play. However, even if they play as an NPC, they are still restricted and can’t do whatever they want.]
Bai Lixin: [How are they restricted?]
Escape system: [As far as I know, there is an absolute restriction, that is, the master acting as an NPC cannot attack the player. ]
[This is for the sake of game fairness, giving players a chance to survive. ]
[Other conditions are not necessarily the same and are different every time. ]
Bai Lixin leaned his furry body against the steep cliff, revealing his white belly.
He glanced at his belly and thought of something, then swiftly got up and sat on all fours on the ground.
[Does the system have any restriction like players brought into the copy can’t kill the master?]
Escape System: [Actually, there isn’t, but…]
Bai Lixin: [But what?]
Escape System: [The masters often choose an exceptionally advantageous character before entering the copy. For example, in a school-themed copy, they might choose a teacher. In a cultivation-themed copy, they might choose a powerful cultivator. For ordinary players, it’s challenging to counter kill in such situations.]
The Escape System paused. [Of course, you’re not an ordinary player. If a counter kill is possible, I’ll do my best to provide assistance this time, Master Bai Lixin.]
Bai Lixin: [Why are you so proactive this time?]
The Escape System’s voice suddenly became angry: [It’s too much! He dragged us over without a word, I almost thought something happened and that I had to part ways with Brother M. Moreover, Brother M was shocked too. I’m so angry! Hurting me is fine, but no one is allowed to hurt my Brother M, or I’ll get really mad at them!]
Escape System: [Ah! Master Bai Lixin, are you going to enter a copy now? Didn’t the player named Zhou Guang just remind you not to enter any copies recently?!]
Bai Lixin: [Yes, I know. Okay, load the copy.]
Escape System: […Brother M, Master the Bai Lixin heard me, right?]
