"Whether they can transform is not dependent on their Creature Level but their age. As long as they’re adults, they can transform, and they can do so at will."
"She can transform into any appearance you like, anytime, anywhere."
At this point, He Haihao paused for a moment then continued, "Although the ability to transform at will is very appealing, generally, people won’t keep a Nine-tailed Fox Demon as a pet."
"Because they are difficult to tame, always harboring ulterior motives, and are very disloyal."
"And most importantly, these creatures like to absorb Essence. Those who keep them typically don’t live long, as they’re drained dry in a few years."
Hearing this, Su Yan nodded empathetically, expressing strong agreement.
In short, a Fox Demon is not a pet you can keep; if you see one, you should kill it on sight. Although the ability to transform at will is indeed very appealing, you also need to be alive to enjoy it.
Thinking this, Su Yan had another question and asked He Haihao again:
"But, Teacher He, I have heard that the tails of Nine-tailed Fox Demons are quite valuable. Hasn’t anyone tried to breed them specifically for their tails?"
After hearing Su Yan’s question, He Haihao laughed, thinking Su Yan was too naïve, then said:
"First, Essence is very precious, far more valuable than the tails of Nine-tailed Fox Demons."
"Second, Nine-tailed Fox Demons only absorb the Essence of the Human race, so what would you feed them?"
"Third, the disguising skills of Nine-tailed Fox Demons are very advanced. Even if your Creature Level is as high as Epic Level, you wouldn’t be able to see through the disguise of an Advanced Level Nine-tailed Fox. Where would you find one to catch?"
Having said that, He Haihao continued, "As for those Nine-tailed Fox Demon tails on the market, they are mostly acquired by baiting."
"This is because there are always some low-level Nine-tailed Fox Demons who can’t control their desires. With a bit of patience, you can always catch one or two."
Thus, Su Yan chatted with the admissions officer from Jingdou University for a long time.
They chatted until around 9:30 p.m. He only ended the conversation when his older sister called, looking for him.
Ready to head home, he found a nearby bus stop.
After waiting for about ten minutes, he quickly boarded the 404 bus heading home, chugging along at full speed.
During the ride, Su Yan replied to Cang Yanxue on Feixin, saying he had chosen Jing University, offering apologies, and so on.
Cang Yanxue was so furious she sent a series of voice messages, as if she wanted to drag him back home immediately and force him to submit.
The bus was fast, getting Su Yan home in less than an hour, chugging all the way.
When Su Yan got off the bus, it was 10:13 p.m.
Since his home was about a kilometer away from the bus stop, Su Yan had to walk for a while.
Walking alone on the street, Su Yan noticed how quiet everything was, not like in his previous life where the streets were bustling with life and people partied night after night.
Because this was an Extremely Dangerous World, teeming with Giant Beasts and overrun by Monsters.
Especially at night, all sorts of Demons and Monsters came out to hunt, making it extremely hazardous.
Those who dared to wander out late at night were either ghosts, monsters, or Evolution Strongmen with formidable strength.
And someone like Su Yan, whose evolution level had reached Half-step Legendary Level, wouldn’t run into any trouble wandering about at night unless he was incredibly unlucky and encountered some terrifying creature.
As he passed a park, Su Yan heard rustling noises coming from inside.
The noises were somewhat loud. It seemed to be caused by a large creature.
Demons and Monsters? Mythical Beast? Demonic Plant?
Thinking this, Su Yan cautiously entered the park.
Ever since he sold a fox tail last time, he had been proclaiming his desire to become a Monster Hunter, yet he had done nothing about it until now. So tonight, he decided to make his first kill.
With that thought, Su Yan quietly approached in the direction of the rustling sound, treading lightly.
All the while, he had his Five Senses Perception turned up to the max, keeping a vigilant watch in all directions, constantly aware of every slight movement in his surroundings.
Upon getting closer, Su Yan spotted a very cute little girl squatting in the bushes, apparently doing something.
It looked like she was pulling out weeds.
In the dead of night, a defenseless little girl squatting in the park’s bushes... didn’t require much thought to know that this was either a ghost or a monster.
Su Yan moved a bit closer, successfully triggering his special ability, Knowing each other.
The next moment, a race information panel that looked very familiar suddenly popped into his mind.
