Chapter 875: Internal Conflict!
It only took a few moments for the countless cracks to cover the entire starry night sky like a cracked mirror.
Silly Fox, Instructor Mei Lan, Teacher Li Wei, and the exploration team became more and more anxious when they saw that.
"Oh, no! We do not have much time left! We have to get out of this secret realm quickly before it collapses completely!" Teacher Li Wei shouted in a solemn tone.
"But... What about Little Xue?" Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue full of reluctance.
Tang Li Xue still had not completed her evolution process yet.
On the contrary, she was currently at the critical moment of her evolution process to become a Beast Lord, so there was a high chance that her evolution would fail if they interrupted it at this moment!
So, Instructor Mei Lan was really in a huge dilemma right now.
If she forcefully dragged Tang Li Xue away at this time, Tang Li Xue's evolution would probably have failed, but if she let Tang Li Xue complete her evolution first, they might no longer had enough time to run away from this collapsing secret realm by then!
"Dummy Lan, what are you waiting for?! Do you really want your favorite student to die in this secret realm?!" Teacher Li Wei angrily rebuked Teacher Mei Lan.
"I know, but..." Instructor Mei Lan muttered while gnas.h.i.+ng her pearl-white teeth.
Instructor Mei Lan wanted to argue that Tang Li Xue would surely receive violent backlash if her evolution failed. At that time, not only did Tang Li Xue get grievously injured and crippled, but she might have a very high chance to stuck in her current grade forever and unable to evolve to a higher grade later.
What was the difference between that and dying here?!
In Instructor Mei Lan's opinion, the former might be worse than death!
When Instructor Mei Lan was still hesitating, Silly Fox already made his choice.
He stepped forward without any hesitation and tried to push Lucia and Little Loki away while shouting angrily at them: "Move aside! I will bring Little Xue out of here right now!"
However, Lucia and Little Loki refused to budge, and they even pushed Silly Fox away in annoyance.
Instructor Mei Lan also wanted to stop Silly Fox, but Silly Fox glared coldly at Lucia and Little Loki instead, then said to them: "So what if Xue's evolution failed here?! I swear I will definitely find a way to cure her and let her evolve further in the future!"
"But everything will only be possible if Xue is still alive!" Silly Fox murmured sadly.
Instructor Mei Lan shook her head and said: "It is not that easy. Countless beasts are unable to evolve further until the day they die after their evolution fails. This is also the reason why so many beasts choose to evolve into False Spirit Beasts rather instead of becoming True Spirit Beasts."
"It is still much better than letting her die in this secret realm, right?" Teacher Li Wei argued impatiently.
"Even if Xue crippled, or she could no longer evolve after this... I will surely take responsibility for it! I will definitely never give up on her even if I must spend my entire life taking care of her and find a way to cure her!" Silly Fox resolutely spoke.
Silly Fox might not be good with his words, but everything he said was truly sincere.
Even Tang Li Xue would be moved if she heard his words right now.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue could not hear it in her current condition.
Instructor Mei Lan finally sighed in resignation before she stared at Little Loki and Lucia, then said to them: "Move away! We will take Little Xue out of this Secret Realm now!"
Silly Fox, Instructor Mei Lan, and Teacher Li Wei menacingly stepped forward to face Little Loki and Lucia.
Of course, Little Loki and Lucia would never back down even if they had to face Tang Li Xue's teachers.
The situation instantly became really tense at this point!
Just when the conflict almost broke out, Little Loki's body suddenly shuddered as its sharp sense of danger screamed in horror!
Little Loki carefully stared in the direction where it sensed the danger and saw an almost unnoticeable lump of black fog behind the exploration team!
The lump of black fog was clearly so bizarre, but strangely, no one actually noticed it until now!
The strange creature shrouded in black fog still did not react. It was like the hunter who lurked on their prey right now!
Little Loki unconsciously took a step back and roared in the direction of the lump of black fog!
"ROOOAAARR~!"
At first, everyone was still confused about Little Loki's odd behavior, but they soon realized something was wrong.
It did not take long for them to be aware of the strange creature shrouded in black fog which had appeared right behind them for who knows how long without them realizing it at all until now!
"What the heck is that thing?" Some of the ignorant foxes from the exploration team curiously muttered while trying to approach the black fog.
"Get away from it~!" Teacher Li Wei shouted to warn them, but he was already one step too late.
The strange creature opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth widely and...
CHOMP~!
It actually bit the head of the ignorant fox and swallowed it in one bite!
Even [Vajra Protection Amulet], which should be able to protect them from the powerful attack at the False Spirit Beast Level, could not do anything to stop the strange creature's bite!
"Tsk~!" Instructor Mei Lan clicked her tongue while snapping her slender fingers.
CLACK~!
[Sonic Blink]~!
Instructor Mei Lan's slender figure vanished, and she instantly appeared near the strange creature.
Just when Instructor Mei Lan wanted to pull away the other foxes from the exploration team who were still near the strange creature, the strange creature could actually react much faster than Instructor Mei Lan expected!
The strange creature grabbed Instructor Mei Lan's neck with one hand and slowly lifted her up until her feet could no longer touch the ground.
Instructor Mei Lan felt extremely suffocated, and even her consciousness was slowly fading away.
Instructor Mei Lan hastily raised her slender white palm, then the air around her slender white palm started to vibrate violently.
[Vibration Cutting Blade]~!
By compressing her [Demonic Tune] divine ability to the extreme level, Instructor Mei Lan made the air around her palm vibrate so intensely.
Instructor Mei Lan swung her slender white palm toward the strange creature's arm with the intention of cutting off the arm that was strangling her neck!
CLANG~!
But who knew that her [Vibration Cutting Blade] could not even leave any scratch on the strange creature's arm?!
It felt as if she was trying to use a dull knife to cut a hard steel!
CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~!
Instructor Mei Lan anxiously tried to cut the strange creature's arm again and again, but it was completely futile.
"Dummy Lan~!" Teacher Li Wei shouted in a worried tone when he realized how powerful the strange creature shrouded in black fog was!
Teacher Li Wei took out dozens of spirit weapons in the form of black nails from his s.p.a.ce pouch and threw them at the strange creature!
These spirit weapons were called [Life Breaking Nails], and they were one of Teacher Li Wei's trump cards which was powerful enough to even injure True Spirit Beast!
Unfortunately, these [Life Breaking Nails] were clearly far from enough to deal with the strange creature!
The strange creature did not even bother to pay any attention to Teacher Li Wei's [Life Breaking Nails]. It only controlled the black fog that wrapped its body until the black fog spun, and the black fog actually swallowed all of Teacher Li Wei's [Life Breaking Nails] without leaving anything behind.
"No way! Even my [Life Breaking Nails] could not do anything to that creature?!" Teacher Li Wei exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
The rest of the exploration team took out their [Spirit Shattering Lightning Amulet] in fear and panic and threw it toward the strange creature at the same time!
Teacher Li Wei wanted to stop them since Instructor Mei Lan was still in the strange creature's grasp, but unfortunately, it was already too late for that.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM~!
Each [Spirit Shattering Lightning Amulet] has a destructive power equal to the False Spirit Beast Level's attack.
When more than a dozen of them exploded in unison, the explosion they caused was really devastating!
"No, Dummy Lan~!" Teacher Li Wei called in a worried tone.
But when the dust and smoke cleared up, only the strange creature shrouded in black fog that was still stood there alone completely unscathed, and Instructor Mei Lan could no longer be seen.
Teacher Li Wei's heart instantly fell into despair.
Just as Teacher Li Wei really thought that Instructor Mei Lan had already died in that great explosion...
"Cough, cough, cough... I thought I was really going to die for real..." A feminine gentle sound suddenly resounded from behind Teacher Li Wei.
Teacher Li Wei quickly turned around and found that Instructor Mei Lan already sat weakly on the ground behind him.
Little Loki in its Battle Form who stood right beside Instructor Mei Lan snorted smugly.
Yes, it was actually Little Loki who saved Instructor Mei Lan right before those more than a dozen [Spirit Shattering Lightning Amulet] exploded by using its [Instant Teleportation].
Although Little Loki did not like Instructor Mei Lan, but she was still Tang Li Xue's beloved teacher after all. So, it decided to save Instructor Mei Lan in the end at the last moment.
