Chapter 882: s.p.a.ce Fragments And Void s.p.a.ce!
Silly Fox became extremely angry when he heard Zhu Zhenhua's words.
"You d.a.m.n annoying bit*h~! It is okay that you do not want to save Xue because it is your right, but you even want to stop me from going back to save Xue too?! Who do you think you are?!" Silly Fox roared while gritting his fangs in great rage.
Zhu Zhenhua did not bother to argue with Silly Fox anymore since her time was very tight right now.
A one-hundred-meter-tall four-tail icy blue fox avatar that emitted an unbearable cold aura suddenly appeared right behind Zhu Zhenhua!
Silly Fox also activated his [Blood Burst] and [Blood Ignition]'s twenty times amplification.
Then he unleashed his [Destructive Force] plus [Lightning of Destruction] toward Zhu Zhenhua!
BAAAAAAANG~!
Zhu Zhenhua's icy blue fox avatar easily blocked Silly Fox's fierce attack using its tails.
But that fierce attack was actually only to distract Zhu Zhenhua because Silly Fox already turned around and ran back toward Tang Li Xue's direction with his full speed!
Silly Fox's black furry body was covered in black lightning as his sprinting speed increased further again by many times as if he had become the incarnation of black lightning himself!
If he faced the other opponents, they might not be able to catch up to him anymore, but unfortunately, his current opponent was Zhu Zhenhua.
[Hundred Miles Frost Seal]~!
BWOOOOSSSH~!
In the blink of an eye, everything around Zhu Zhenhua was covered in a thick layer of white frost as if everything around her was made from ice.
Even Silly Fox and the black lightning shrouded his body were frozen and sealed in the thick layer of ice until he could no longer move.
Zhu Zhenhua took the frozen Silly Fox along with the unconscious Teacher Li Wei and Instructor Mei Lan with her as she ran toward the jungle.
There were actually several foxes from the exploration team which Zhu Zhenhua had already gathered there now.
"Are they all right?" One of the exploration team's foxes asked worriedly mixed with curiosity.
Zhu Zhenhua shook her head and replied: "They are all right. Let's go! We have to find the others before we can go back and get out of this collapsing secret realm."
Zhu Zhenhua hastily led them again to gather the other foxes before Zhu Jun completed the s.p.a.ce tunnel.
Because the moment Zhu Jun completed rebuilding the s.p.a.ce tunnel and re-connecting it with the s.p.a.ce tunnel outside, it would be the moment when they had to get out of this place as soon as possible before this secret realm completely collapsed!
.....
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue's situation was actually increasingly bad as she was fighting against the strange creature with her perfect copy.
[Fire Bomb]~!
BOOOOOOMM~!
Tang Li Xue threw a deep blue compressed [Fire Bomb] at the strange creature, but it easily blocked it by condensing its black fog-like energy into a solid black s.h.i.+eld.
But her perfect copy suddenly appeared right behind the strange creature after canceling her [Ethereal Form] plus [Art of Concealment]!
Then she unleashed [Moon Shattering Strike] with her full strength toward the back of the strange creature's head from behind!
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy discussed and concluded that this strange creature should have something like 'copper skin and iron bones', so they decided to attack from 'inside'.
[Moon Shattering Strike] was clearly a good choice for it since it basically injected her energy into the opponent's body and exploded the energy from inside.
BAAAAAANGG~!
"Success~! Its brain should have already turned into a mush right now!" The perfect copy exclaimed happily.
Who knew that the strange creature was still completely unaffected after the perfect copy's full-powered [Moon Shattering Strike] hit the back of its head heavily?!
On the contrary, it stretched its hand swiftly and managed to grab the perfect copy's neck instead!
But Tang Li Xue immediately reacted by un-summoning her perfect copy and re-summoning her perfect copy right by her side.
The strange creature found its hand was empty, then it confusedly stared at Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy who already stood side by side.
"Kehehehe..." The strange creature let out its creepy laugh as some of its black fog-like energy suddenly separated from its body.
Then the black fog-like energy was actually solidified into another identical strange creature!
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
Perfect Copy: "???!!!"
"d.a.m.n it~! Don't tell me that monster can also summon out a perfect clone?! No way, right?! Is it actually learning from us?!" Perfect Copy muttered in shock while frowning deeply.
"Watch out~! They are coming!" Tang Li Xue warned her perfect copy when she saw the two identical strange creatures dashed toward them.
Tang Li Xue hastily condensed [Phoenix Cloak], and a pair of deep blue and gold flame phoenix wings formed behind her back.
[Scattered Flame Feathers]~!
Tang Li Xue rapidly flapped the flame phoenix wings on her back to shoot so many explosive flame feathers at the incoming two strange creatures!
BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~!
Dense deep blue flame and golden flame feathers exploded when they hit the two strange creatures!
Despite that, the two strange creatures remained completely unaffected by it, and even their speed did not slow down at all!
Just when the two strange creatures almost reached Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy, who knew that they suddenly halted their steps and jumped back instead?!
"Wha..." Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise and puzzlement.
But before she could think of the reason why the two strange creatures acted like that, her [Extrasensory Perception] screamed to warn her of the incoming life-threatening danger!
The danger warning was so intense that all the furs on her body stood up!
Tang Li Xue instantly used [Shadow Flash] to teleport away from that location without any hesitation while un-summoning her perfect copy with [Twin Moons] divine ability!
BAAAAAAAAANG~!!!
Tang Li Xue, who was already teleported to the shadow below the tree a hundred meters away from her previous location, saw a transparent fragment that fell down from the shattered sky actually landed on where she stood before!
When the falling transparent fragment touched the ground, the ground actually shattered like a mirror, leaving a strange pitch-black hole in that location.
That hole was not like a usual crater created if someone exploded something, but more like missing a piece in the jigsaw puzzle.
Tang Li Xue nervously gulped her saliva and muttered: "What the heck is that?!"
[It should be a s.p.a.ce fragment that fell from the shattered part of this Secret Realm.]
[Host should never touch it because it is extremely dangerous.]
[Each s.p.a.ce fragment contains a small s.p.a.ce broken from this Secret Realm, so if it touched any part of the Host's body, it would be the same as that part of the body being momentarily teleported to another s.p.a.ce.]
It was really rare for her System to kindly remind Tang Li Xue about something which showed how dangerous this s.p.a.ce fragment was.
Tang Li Xue did not quite understand it yet, so she asked again: "What do you mean? So, it would only teleport me to another place when I touched it? It does not sound that dangerous, right?"
[Imagine if a s.p.a.ce fragment touched Host's head just now, and Host's head got teleported into the small s.p.a.ce inside the s.p.a.ce fragment while Host's body was still in this current s.p.a.ce.]
"Holy cow, does it mean my head will be separated from my body?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in horror.
[Actually, it should be much worse than that, but it could be said that was what would roughly happen.]
[Besides that, please make sure that Host never falls into that hole too, or Host would definitely die even if Host had hundreds of Subst.i.tution Dolls.]
"Do you mean that scary black hole? What the heck is that?" Tang Li Xue asked curiously.
[That is Void s.p.a.ce.]
[It is hard to explain in a few sentences. In short, Void s.p.a.ce is probably like the ocean, all realms are like islands, while this collapsing Secret Realm is like a sinking island.]
[Void s.p.a.ce is extremely dangerous!]
[Anyone who fell into Void s.p.a.ce was like the newborn babies that appeared in the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters, they would get crushed into nothingness by the destructive s.p.a.ce energy in an instant.]
[The Void s.p.a.ce's danger level is actually so much higher than just that kind of example, and it is clearly a place without lives, but Host gets what it means, right?]
"So, it means if this Secret Realm completely collapses, we will fall into this Void s.p.a.ce?"
[Not really... Once this Secret Realm completely collapses, the Host can either get torn and crushed by the countless falling s.p.a.ce fragments or fall into Void s.p.a.ce. Anyway, both are completely dead ends without any way to survive, so this System suggests that Host should just find a way out from this place as soon as possible before those happen.]
"It is easy for you to say that~! I would have already done so if this monster had not pestered me so persistently until now!" Tang Li Xue angrily said in frustration.
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The strange creature's aura suddenly got many times stronger as a ma.s.sive amount of black energy burst out from its body!
Even its clone was already transformed back to black energy and merged again with the strange creature's main body.
"Sigh... It looks like that monster also knows that we have almost run out of time and decided to get serious now." Tang Li Xue took a deep breath as she muttered in a solemn tone.
