Chapter 645: Chaotic Escape!
"Watch out~! Some vicious foxes just escaped from their cages~!"
"What?! Do you all want to get executed?! Quickly catch all of them back right now~! Your Majesty has paid a lot of money to buy these foxes, so you better find and catch them back if you all do not want to die~!"
"We got it, Captain~!"
Tang Li Xue secretly heard the loud commotion from outside her carriage.
"I see... So, the other foxes' starting point is the same as me." Tang Li Xue murmured her deduction.
When Tang Li Xue was doing her thing, who knew that Little Loki and Yaya had already slipped out of the cage without any difficulty at all?!
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched as she asked with a strange tone: "How the h.e.l.l you two can get out from here so easily?!"
Both Yaya and Little Loki replied that they actually just jumped out through the gap of the cage.
"All right, so a small size also has its own advantage." Tang Li Xue nodded in understanding.
Of course, Tang Li Xue could not imitate their way to escape from this metal cage since her silver furry figure was several times bigger than their tiny cub body.
Tang Li Xue tried to use [Moon Shattering Strike] on the cage, but she failed to leave even a small dent in it.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!
While Tang Li Xue attempted to break free from her cage, another batch of foxes had already escaped from their cages again.
"d.a.m.n it~! This is not good~! It would be extremely bad if I were to be the last one to escape from here! All of those royal guards would certainly focus on chasing after me alone~!" Tang Li Xue said with a desperate tone.
Moreover, the strength of those royal guards should not be weak, since this was the treasure game of the second phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival.
Little Loki rolled its eyes impatiently as it swung its tiny claws toward the metal cage!
[Scythe Claw Qi]~!
CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~!
The metal cage that gave Tang Li Xue a lot of headaches was cut by Little Loki's [Scythe Claw Qi] to pieces in an instant!
Tang Li Xue was dumbfounded in shock by Little Loki's move.
This [Scythe Claw Qi] was the skill Little Loki obtained after devouring the false spirit beast, Sapphire Wasp Queen, who was suppressed in the Inheritance Ground Tablet, so the power was undoubtedly much more powerful than others.
It was not really surprising that the [Scythe Claw Qi] could easily cut the metal cage like cutting tofu.
Tang Li Xue delightedly jumped out from the broken metal cage and gently patted Little Loki's head while praising it: "Woah, as I expected from my most dependable Little Loki~!"
"Nyaaa~!" Little Loki still put smug act, but its tail swung back and forth excitedly.
Yaya puffed her cheek and pouted in envy.
Unfortunately, this was not the right time for Tang Li Xue to comfort the sulking Yaya as she hastily cut the carriage's locked door open with [Moonlight Flash].
Then Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible, while Little Loki and Yaya who already sat on Tang Li Xue's back also used their respective stealth skill to turn themselves invisible.
Tang Li Xue thought that the rest of this treasure game should be a piece of cake for her since she has [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], but she never expected that she would instantly get noticed just after she jumped out from the carriage!
"Another fox escape here~! Catch it quickly~!" The royal guard in silver armor shouted the compa.s.s treasure in his hand reacted wildly.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in annoyance, and she immediately decided to enter [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya.
Yaya also turned into a flash of green light and merged into Tang Li Xue's body.
*Ding!
[You have entered Divine Possession with Yaya!]
Tang Li Xue used Yaya's speed buff on herself to increase her speed even further.
*Ding!
[Wind Guardian Blessing] activated! (Increase overall speed by 50% and add auto-dodge effect. Duration: 10 seconds.)
But the movement of those royal guards was not slow!
More than a dozen of them had already rushed toward Tang Li Xue and threw [Beast Sealing Net] on Tang Li Xue!
That kind of treasure weapon would instantly spread out and auto-lock the target!
It clearly could not be dodged, so Tang Li Xue unleashed [Cyclone Storm] to counter it before the [Beast Sealing Net] could capture and bind her!
BWOOOOOOSSSHH~!
A huge pillar of hurricane condensed from countless dancing sharp wind blades was flying swiftly toward those royal guards!
Even their [Beast Sealing Nets] were blown away by the violent [Cyclone Storm]!
Contrary to Tang Li Xue's expectation, the royal guards in silver armor did not get fl.u.s.tered or panic at all when they saw such violent [Cyclone Storm].
They swiftly lined up together, and a mysterious formation beneath their feet was lit up with crimson light!
They unsheathed the silver saber on their waist at the same time and stabbed the silver saber in their grasp toward the violent [Cyclone Storm] in unison!
Their ferocious saber Qi merged into one, and the mysterious crimson formation under their feet amplified it by many folds!
BBBAAAAAANNNNG~!
The violent [Cyclone Storm] was actually cut apart in one stab, and it dispersed almost instantly!
Tang Li Xue who had already run away as fast as she could from there with [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] plus [Breezing Step] witnessed all of it from a distance.
"I knew it would not be that easy, but what the h.e.l.l... there is clearly something wrong with these people, right?! Even a bunch of mere normal soldiers are already that strong~!" Tang Li Xue angrily complained.
But the surprise was not over yet...
Each of those royal guards in silver armor took out a talisman from their spatial ring and stuck it onto their body.
Their body was covered with a dim golden light, and they were instantly flying to chase after Tang Li Xue with breakneck speed!
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in disbelief.
She was already in [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya, so her current speed should be already extremely high!
How could those royal guards in silver armor actually match her speed by only using a mere talisman?!
Tang Li Xue really wanted to curse the one who made this treasure game very much~!
Despite her displeasure and complaint, Tang Li Xue still did not reduce her flying speed at all, especially since those royal guards in silver armor kept chasing behind her without any intention of giving up.
BBAAAAAAAAANNGG~!
Tang Li Xue put all of her attention on the royal guards in silver armor who were chasing after her from behind, but she actually got attacked by someone from her right side!
Tang Li Xue was thrown off and spun uncontrollably in mid-air while groaning in pain.
Even Little Loki was blown away and got separated from Tang Li Xue because of the sudden attack out of nowhere.
Thankfully, Little Loki acted quickly and used its [Instant Teleportation] to return to Tang Li Xue's back, then it hugged her back tightly so it would not get separated from her again.
With her [Extrasensory Perception], Tang Li Xue sensed the one who was attacking her just now, and it was actually a khaki-colored fox!
Well, what that khaki-colored fox was doing was not exactly wrong since they were compet.i.tors in this treasure game...
But Tang Li Xue became extremely angry at the khaki-colored fox since it dared to attack her in a critical situation like now!
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her turbulent mood.
"All right, this is not the time for me to get angry. Little Loki, are you okay?" Tang Li Xue asked with a tone filled with worry while hastily stabilizing her figure in the air before she could fall heavily onto the ground.
"Nyaaw~! (I am okay~!)" Little Loki replied with a rea.s.suring tone.
Tang Li Xue immediately used [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] plus [Breezing Step] once again and continued to fly at her full speed, but it was already a bit too late since those royal guards in silver armor were already so close behind her!
There were quite a lot of royal guards in silver armor guarding the fox cage's carriages, and each team of royal guards should be a.s.signed to chase down every escaping fox.
The khaki-colored fox also had its own royal guard team that chased after it.
But the khaki-colored fox attacked Tang Li Xue and planned to use her to attract the attention of the royal guard team who chased after it.
Fortunately for Tang Li Xue, the royal guard team was not tempted and kept chasing after the khaki-colored fox instead.
If not, Tang Li Xue might have already been flanked by two royal guard teams from the front and behind right now!
At that time, her chance to escape might be decreased by at least half.
Of course, even if Tang Li Xue was chased by only one royal guard team right now, but her situation was still very precarious.
The approaching Royal Guard team immediately took this chance to bombard Tang Li Xue from behind using the talisman stored in their spatial rings!
BAAANNGG~! BAAANNGG~! BOOOOOMMM~!
Tang Li Xue tried to dodge their bombardment by flying in a zigzag pattern, but she still failed to avoid all of them.
Some of the projectiles shot by the royal guard's talisman hit Tang Li Xue from behind and made her sway unsteadily.
