Despite being part of the Beast-type, the Firefox boasts a natural affinity for Flame Elemental power. The Beast-type is notably diverse, with pure Elemental-type Demonic Beasts being a rarity. Instead, most are element-born elves such as the widely recognized Flame Elves, Snow Elves, and Water Elves.
Many Beast-type Demonic Beasts wield not only Beast-type power but also Elemental Power. While they may not match the pure elemental prowess of the elemental elves, the combination of the Beast-type's destructive force with the Elemental-type's Supernatural Power is what makes them the preferred choice for many Demonic Pet Masters.
If you're aiming to enhance your Demonic Pet's elemental strength, feeding it Demonic Crystals of the corresponding power can help. Utilizing the treasures of heaven and earth can also amplify the power of its elemental skills, encouraging evolution towards a more formidable elemental Demonic Beast.
The Firefox is a favorite among those who are still Primary Demonic Pet Masters, thanks to its well-rounded capabilities. It boasts a strong attack power and agility characteristic of the Beast-type, and its Flame Skill can be quite a nuisance to opponents.
Additionally, the Firefox has a compact size. Juvenile Firefoxes are cat-like, adorable, and endearing, with stunning fiery red fur and a fluffy tail.
This combination is irresistible to many girls, making the Firefox highly valued in the Demonic Pet Market. Chen Wu once heard that a young Firefox could fetch up to five hundred Soul Crystals in the Demonic Beast Shop of Green-mount Town, often selling out quickly due to the difficulty in capturing them.
The allure of the Firefox isn't just their appearance; the Firefox Clan is known for their elusive nature, frequently migrating and living in family units with adult Firefoxes providing protection. A small tribe is even more formidable, as it brings together multiple Firefox families, often led by a fox that has evolved into a Three-tailed Firefox.
The strength of a Three-tailed Firefox typically exceeds Bronze Grade 5. Even if a Demonic Pet Master possesses two Demonic Pets of Bronze Grade 5, few would risk the wrath of the entire Firefox Clan, whose sheer numbers could overwhelm an opponent.
It's worth noting that the price of Lee Wang's juvenile Blood Wolf capped at three hundred Soul Crystals, and that was after Hu Wang dug deep into his reserves. Yet, a single Firefox Cub could fetch an impressive five hundred Soul Crystals!
The allure of wealth is powerful indeed. Chen Wu couldn't help but consider the possibility of not only acquiring a descendant of the Three-tailed Firefox but also obtaining additional firefox cubs to sell. Such a windfall could be life-changing!
Regarding the Three-tailed Firefox Cub, Chen Wu intended to bond with it as his second Demonic Pet Position. The Three-tailed Firefox's innate talents and strength are superior within the Demonic Beast hierarchy, making it a rare find in Phoenix Nest Mountain. Its abilities are certainly more formidable than those of Blood Rain.
However, Blood Rain now carries the Storm Hawk bloodline, and should it evolve into a Storm Hawk, it would be on par with the Three-tailed Firefox.
Ultimately, the value of a Demonic Pet lies in its Potential Growth and any unique bloodlines it may possess. If its Potential Growth is capped at High-grade Bronze Level, breaking beyond that threshold is unlikely, and it would remain a Bronze Level Demonic Beast at best. But with a Potential Growth at Silver Level, given sufficient resources, reaching Silver Level is almost guaranteed.
Curious about the strength of the firefox group, Chen Wu dispatched Blood Rain to intimidate them, hoping to draw out the Firefox Leader. This would allow Chen Wu to better assess his strength, leveraging the advantage of his system.
By scanning the strength and Potential Growth of all Demonic Pets, Chen Wu could see everything with crystal clarity. This capability sets him apart from other Demonic Pet Masters, for in this world, such insights are typically revealed only after a Demonic Pet is contracted or through the use of costly testing artifacts, which must be applied directly to the Beast Pet.
The sudden emergence of Blood Rain sent the Firefox Clan into a frenzy. Adult firefoxes poured out of the cave in droves – a total of eleven, indicating that some had paired off while others remained solitary.
Each adult firefox possessed strength around Grade 4, a formidable gathering of eleven Grade 4 firefoxes!
This was practically a death sentence for Chen Wu!
Even a Demonic Pet Master with a Bronze Grade 6 strength would have no choice but to flee from such a force, let alone Chen Wu with only a Grade 4 Demonic Pet.
What concerned Chen Wu the most was the male firefox with the most agile and streamlined body. Its fur blazed a deeper red, and its three bushy tails swayed with an imposing aura, its eyes coldly fixated on the Blood Rain above.
This was the leader of the Three-tailed Firefoxes!

Upon reading the information, Chen Wu's eyes bulged, and he blurted out in astonishment, "Holy crap!"
This Three-tailed Firefox was actually at Bronze Grade 6!
Blood Rain might be safe in the sky for now, but in a direct confrontation, the Three-tailed Firefox would easily annihilate it, regardless of any Treasure Weapon it might possess.
The gap in strength between the two grades couldn't be bridged by a mere Treasure Weapon. Blood Rain wasn't even confident it could suppress a Bronze Grade 5 Demonic Beast, much less one of Grade 6.
Chen Wu couldn't risk his Zodiac Demonic Pet on a gamble!
"I need to think this through carefully!"
Breaking into a cold sweat, Chen Wu internally cursed the system for such an absurdly challenging random mission. A tribe led by a Grade 6 Demonic Beast, and his task was to steal the leader's cubs – an incredibly daunting task!
But having accepted the mission, the system was indifferent to his plight. Success meant a reward; failure meant nothing. Chen Wu, desperate for a rapid increase in power, couldn't just walk away now, could he?
After some thought, Chen Wu decided to try luring the prey out again. But first, he needed to determine the Firefox Clan's hunting schedule. He refused to believe that the Three-tailed Firefox never ventured out to hunt!
Surely it wouldn't bring its entire family along when hunting. There had to be an opportunity!
Chen Wu found a conveniently located rock wall opposite them and had Blood Rain carve out a small cave just big enough for one person. Then, he called Blood Rain back and settled in to observe the clan for the entire day.
Chen Wu might not have been a hunter strong enough to confront the Firefox directly, but that was alright. Hunters excel at finding weak spots. Even when faced with a massive rhinoceros, Uncle Hu could have him and Chen Wu lie in wait in a pit, silent for an entire day.
Chen Wu waited patiently. After all, patience is one of a hunter's greatest virtues.
