Chapter 638: A Close Call!
Tang Li Xue was facing a huge dilemma right now.
If she turned on her [Extrasensory Perception] and accidentally 'stared' at that horrifying creature, that horrifying creature would also sense her in an instant.
But if she turned off her [Extrasensory Perception], she would not be able to sense the incoming ambush or attack from the other foxes partic.i.p.ating in this treasure game just like now.
Anyway, it was not the time for Tang Li Xue to think about that right now since the ambus.h.i.+ng fox had already launched another attack on Tang Li Xue for the second time.
[Wind Cannon Blast]~!
This time, Tang Li Xue had already prepared, and she hastily [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to avoid it!
BOOOOOOOOOOMM~!
However, the attack from the ambus.h.i.+ng fox struck the ground where Tang Li Xue stood before and created another deafening explosion!
Tang Li Xue did not want to play around with this crazy ambus.h.i.+ng fox anymore since the horrifying creature surely had heard this commotion and would definitely come here soon!
Tang Li Xue turned around and used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to quickly get away from there!
But how could the ambus.h.i.+ng fox let Tang Li Xue go just like that?!
It immediately caught up with Tang Li Xue and unleashed its [Wind Cannon Blast] on Tang Li Xue from the right side!
Since Tang Li Xue could no longer avoid this sudden attack, she could only try to block it with a transparent barrier created by her [Energy Manipulation].
BOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!
Tang Li Xue's transparent barrier shattered like fragile gla.s.s, and her silver furry body was thrown off dozens of meters!
Tang Li Xue utilized this impact to get away farther from the ambus.h.i.+ng fox and tried to escape from it.
Unfortunately, this ambus.h.i.+ng fox with its set of wind-elemental divine abilities was too much faster compared to the current Tang Li Xue, so no matter what Tang Li Xue did, it could immediately catch up and mercilessly launch sudden attacks from her blind spot angle.
'This d.a.m.n fox~! Is it really planning to drag me down to die with it?!' Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in anger and frustration.
After hesitating for a while whether she must fight against this ambus.h.i.+ng fox or keep trying to run away from it, Tang Li Xue still decided to do the latter.
But this time, she did not hesitate to enter [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya to increase her speed by many times!
Tang Li Xue released Yaya from her system's pet s.p.a.ce, and Yaya instantly understood what Tang Li Xue wanted to do through their mental connection.
Yaya turned into a flash of green light and merged into Tang Li Xue's body.
*Ding!
[You have entered Divine Possession with Yaya!]
The ambus.h.i.+ng fox seemed to lose its patience too as it unleashed several [Wind Cannon Blasts] at once on Tang Li Xue!
[Wings of Freedom] activated~! (Increase the effect of Agility stat by five times and grant Fast Flight buff for 15 minutes duration. Cooldown: 1 hour)
[Wind Guardian Blessing] activated~! (Increase overall speed by 50% and grant auto-dodge effect. Duration: 10 seconds.)
Under the effect of [Wind Guardian Blessing]'s auto-dodge, Tang Li Xue's silver furry figure split into several afterimages as she agilely avoided all of the ambus.h.i.+ng fox's [Wind Cannon Blasts] without any difficulty!
Since she did not plan to fight against the ambus.h.i.+ng fox, Tang Li Xue used Yaya's skill to restrict the movement of the ambus.h.i.+ng fox while she planned to run away from this place as fast as she could!
[Tempest Prison]~!
The ambus.h.i.+ng fox trapped in the midst of the powerful swirling wind!
But Tang Li Xue never expected that the ambus.h.i.+ng fox could actually disperse the [Tempest Prison] using its own wind control divine ability!
'This d.a.m.n fox is really troublesome to deal with~! Sigh... Oh well, all the foxes who still survive until this second phase are certainly predator-level foxes. It is not strange that all of them are powerful and troublesome to deal with.' Tang Li Xue sighed in frustration.
Tang Li Xue still had some effective ways to fight against opponents with earth, water, and flame elemental divine abilities, but she would face a lot of difficulty against opponents with wind and lightning divine abilities since she currently could not enter [Perfect a.s.similation] mode with her Phoenix of Pride.
Tang Li Xue's silver furry figure turned into a silver flash leaving several afterimages as she quickly flew away from that place with her full speed.
The ambus.h.i.+ng fox still did not plan to let Tang Li Xue go as it chased closely behind Tang Li Xue!
However, the distance between them slowly got farther and farther as Tang Li Xue's speed was too fast while she was under the effect of [Wings of Freedom] buff.
Just when Tang Li Xue felt relieved that she finally could slowly get rid of this annoying ambus.h.i.+ng fox...
SWOOOSSH~!
The ambus.h.i.+ng fox who was still trying to chase after Tang Li Xue suddenly grabbed by a huge black hand condensed from a ma.s.s of black fog!
'It is already here!' Tang Li Xue panickedly exclaimed in her heart.
The ambus.h.i.+ng fox tried to struggle with all of its strength but to no avail.
The huge black hand enjoyed the ambus.h.i.+ng fox's fierce last struggle as it slowly pulled the ambus.h.i.+ng fox toward itself.
The more the ambus.h.i.+ng fox struggles to free itself, the more rapidly its energy would be drained by the horrifying creature.
After the ambus.h.i.+ng fox was completely powerless, the horrifying creature shoved the limp ambus.h.i.+ng fox into its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth filled with sharp teeth.
CRUNCH~! CRUNCH~! CRUNCH~! CRUNCH~!
The horrifying creature slowly chewed the limp ambus.h.i.+ng fox until its blood dripped down from its mouth.
Tang Li Xue watched the gruesome scene through her [Extrasensory Perception].
She still could not see the horrifying creature's form clearly with her [Extrasensory Perception], but even its faint blurry figure looked extremely dreadful and disgusting.
While that horrifying creature enjoyed its meal, Tang Li Xue had already flown away quite far at her full speed in [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya plus [Wings of Freedom] buff.
But who knew that the horrifying creature turned into a black flash and flew swiftly in Tang Li Xue's direction?!
'Impossible~! How the h.e.l.l it could fly so fast?! No, it is already too late for me to run away from it!' Tang Li Xue fl.u.s.teredly thought.
Tang Li Xue hastily turned off her [Extrasensory Perception] as she realized that the horrifying creature was chasing after her might be because she 'stared' at it!
However, turning off her [Extrasensory Perception] meant that she could no longer perceive any danger ahead of time, and she could also no longer keep track of the horrifying creature's every movement.
Tang Li Xue landed in the jungle and quickly hid under the bushes, then she held her breath, closed her eyes, and stopped moving completely.
After Tang Li Xue pretended to be a dead branch under the dense bushes, the horrifying creature arrived there a few seconds later.
Without her [Extrasensory Perception] and vision, Tang Li Xue unconsciously focused more on her sense of hearing and smell.
The unbearable pungent smell of blood rushed into her nasal cavity, and she almost coughed in reflex, but she quickly suppressed it.
Tang Li Xue felt strange since the foxes who got killed and eliminated from this treasure game should have turned into a group of white light and dissipated, then why the h.e.l.l did this horrifying creature seem to have really eaten the ambus.h.i.+ng fox earlier?!
Tang Li Xue really did not want to think about it in this current situation since it would make her fear of the horrifying creature grow, but her mind completely worked against her will.
Drip... Drip... Drip... Drip... Drip...
The clear sound of dripping blood amplified her fear even further as her heart was beating more rapidly.
"All right, Xue'er... This is no longer funny. Come on, stop hiding and come out quickly so we can go back home and eat delicious meals~!" A gentle male sound called Tang Li Xue out with a worried tone.
The horrifying monster let out its usual trickery by using its hypnotic sounds to let Tang Li Xue hear the voice of her only closest relative in her previous world, her big brother.
Tang Li Xue really missed her big brother's gentle voice.
Hearing it made Tang Li Xue think she had returned to the time when her big brother was spoiling her in the hospital.
She almost wanted to jump out and give a tight hug to her big brother.
She wanted to tell him how much she missed him and worried about him.
'Ya~! Yayaya~!'
Tang Li Xue suddenly woke up from her daze when Yaya called her out through their mental connection!
'd.a.m.n it~! That was really too dangerous~! I let down my guard and almost fell into that monster's dirty trick!' Tang Li Xue exclaimed in fright.
Tang Li Xue suddenly realized that the hypnotic power from the horrifying monster's sounds seemed to get a lot stronger than before!
Fortunately, Yaya woke her up on time, if not, she might have already jumped out excitedly and hugged that horrifying monster as she a.s.sumed it was her big brother.
'Don't tell me that horrifying monster could get stronger every time it eats more targets?!' Tang Li Xue accidentally deduced a more horrible thing about that monster in her mind.
Tang Li Xue really did not dare to think how strong this horrifying monster would become after it ate a few more foxes!
At that time, she might not even be able to wake up from the horrifying monster's hypnosis even if Yaya shouted at her again.
