Chapter 589: The Sixth Treasure Game!
.....
Tang Li Xue was actually hesitant about whether she should leave Bing Shui alone or fight alongside Bing Shui against those mind-controlled foxes.
But after pondering for a while, she decided to follow Bing Shui"s words and left alone.
Because Bing Shui"s Blizzard Domain worked best if she fought alone against those mind-controlled foxes.
Tang Li Xue would only hinder Bing Shui from displaying her true strength if she fought by Bing Shui"s side.
Moreover, Tang Li Xue already fought fiercely against Bing Shui before, so she knew that Bing Shui was best at stalling time and gradually wearing down the opponents with her ice power.
Even if Bing Shui might not be able to win facing so many foxes at once, but she could easily retreat from them unscathed.
Tang Li Xue immediately pushed Bing Shui"s matter aside as her [Extrasensory Perception] sensed another ten or so mind-controlled foxes rus.h.i.+ng toward her again.
"Tsk~! These d.a.m.ned foxes are so annoying~! It seems the owner of Crimson Skies Domain has decided to stop playing around." Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in anger.
To be honest, Tang Li Xue really wanted to punch the face of Crimson Skies Domain"s owner so badly right now.
She had never bothered the Crimson Skies Domain"s owner or had any grievances against it, but why did it always want to target her?!
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue was aware that she was still not a worthy opponent for the Apex Predator Fox level like the Crimson Skies Domain"s owner yet, so she could only choose to forbear it for now.
Those ten or so mind-controlled foxes came from different directions, so no matter how fast Tang Li Xue ran, she would definitely b.u.mp into one or two of them.
When Tang Li Xue saw two mind-controlled foxes charging toward her at high speed, she already condensed a pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] to face them!
Before those two mind-controlled foxes could reach Tang Li Xue, she already used [Mother Earth"s Gift] to launch a sudden attack at them!
[Mountain Crus.h.i.+ng Pit]~!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The surrounding gra.s.sy ground quickly sunk to trap those two mind-controlled foxes inside the deep hole, then the deep hole suddenly shrunk and closed to crush them to death!
BAAAAAAANNGG~!
By using [Sun Dragon Claws] to divert their attention and make them think that she would attack them using her [Sun Dragon Claws], Tang Li Xue easily trapped both mind-controlled foxes with [Mountain Crus.h.i.+ng Pit].
"This tactic works surprisingly well~! I may use it more often from now on." Tang Li Xue whispered in amazement.
Tang Li Xue did not care whether those two mind-controlled foxes were already dead or still alive, and she did not bother to check it.
With her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step], she swiftly got away from there without decreasing her speed.
While rus.h.i.+ng to the nearest pillar of golden light at full speed, Tang Li Xue"s mind managed to deduce an important feature of her [Extrasensory Perception].
If any creatures were hostile toward her from the start, then her [Extrasensory Perception] could sense them from a farther radius.
The problem was that if she met with creatures that were not hostile to her at first, but would only attack her when she got closer to them, then her [Extrasensory Perception] would always fail to give her a danger warning on time.
The previous gigantic sandworms and fire crows were the exact examples of it.
This could be a great advantage or a fatal weakness according to the situation Tang Li Xue was facing.
"Sigh... Let"s put that aside for now." Tang Li Xue muttered with a frustrated tone when her [Extrasensory Perception] sensed more and more mind-controlled foxes were chasing after her right now.
Tang Li Xue did not want so many mind-controlled foxes to get closer to her, so she used [Mother Earth"s Gift] to erect several stone walls to obstruct most of them!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
"Just a little bit more~! It is only around three hundred miles away~!" Tang Li Xue murmured as she was getting closer and closer to the pillar of golden light.
But another three mind-controlled foxes already dashed toward her from the front!
A pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] already flew swiftly toward those three foxes, while they also launched their attacking skills to destroy the [Sun Dragon Claws]!
But those three mind-controlled foxes failed to realize that Tang Li Xue unleashed another attack using [Mother Earth"s Gift] from right under their feet!
[Mountain Pit] plus [Earth Spikes]~!
The gra.s.sy ground under their feet suddenly sunk, and those three mind-controlled foxes fell into a deep hole filled with sharp [Earth Spikes]!
PUUUFFF~! PUUUFFF~!
Tang Li Xue managed to kill two of them, but the third fox could react in time, and it actually used its divine ability to fly out from the deep hole!
[Energy Manipulation], Binding Net!
Tang Li Xue created a thick net using her [Energy Manipulation] and used it to bind the flying fox!
That third flying fox fell again into the deep hole and was stabbed by the sharp [Earth Spikes] inside the hole to death.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and hastily dashed away from there with [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].
"Those mind-controlled foxes did not look very smart... It seems after falling under the mind-control effect, their brain might not be able to think properly anymore, so they can only fight based on their instinct." Tang Li Xue concluded after fighting many mind-controlled foxes.
When Tang Li Xue was only a few miles away from the pillar of golden light, more than fifty mind-controlled foxes already waited for her there!
Tang Li Xue fearlessly rushed toward them all using [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] without even decreasing her speed!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
Those more than fifty mind-controlled foxes unleashed their attack at once at Tang Li Xue!
[Wings of Freedom], activated~!
Tang Li Xue swiftly jumped and soared into the sky to avoid their simultaneous attack!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM~!
Their simultaneous attack was missed, but they did not give up and launched another attack at Tang Li Xue without stopping!
Facing the dense rain of so many different elemental attacks, Tang Li Xue"s silver figure suddenly disappeared!
[Shadow Flash]~!
Tang Li Xue instantly teleported to the shadow of one of the mind-controlled foxes!
[Water Mirage]~!
After that, Tang Li Xue immediately used her skill to split into many clones, and all of the [Water Mirage] clones rushed toward the direction of the pillar of golden light!
Those more than fifty foxes kept attacking Tang Li Xue and her [Water Mirage] clones blindly!
But this time, Tang Li Xue could not hide and dug the underground tunnel with her [Spider Scorpion Transformation] like before since there were so many eyes watching her right now.
POFFF~! POFFF~! POFFF~! POFFF~!
[Water Mirage] clones broke one by one rapidly under the continuous a.s.sault of more than fifty mind-controlled foxes!
After all of the [Water Mirage] clones were shattered into a puddle of water, those more than fifty mind-controlled foxes unleashed another simultaneous attack toward the real Tang Li Xue!
The colorful rain of different elemental attacks looked astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful, but the lethality was enough to eliminate ten Tang Li Xues!
Tang Li Xue gritted her fangs when she almost ran out of options, so she decided to activate one of her life-protection trump cards!
[Sun And Moon Aegis]"s Protection~! (Became invulnerable for 1,5 seconds)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!
A great explosion pushed Tang Li Xue forward, and she used the momentum from the great explosion to fly more swiftly toward the pillar of golden light!
Tang Li Xue"s silver furry body entered the pillar of golden light and disappeared in an instant from everyone"s vision.
.....
When Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes again, she was already in front of a majestic palace.
Tang Li Xue still did not dare to lower her guard and vigilantly observed her surroundings.
Several foxes appeared one after another in front of a majestic palace, but all of them looked confused.
"I see... The mind-controlling effect from Crimson Skies Domain will temporarily disappear when they enter the treasure game s.p.a.ce." Tang Li Xue murmured while keeping an eye on those other foxes.
Of course, the mind-controlling effect would control those foxes again after they went out of the treasure game s.p.a.ce.
At that time, those mind-controlled foxes would not have any time to consume their winning prize, and they could only offer their winning prize to the owner of the Crimson Skies Domain.
Tang Li Xue felt sorry for them, but there was nothing she could do to help them out of the Crimson Skies Domain"s control.
Tang Li Xue took a glance at the timer in front of the palace gate.
ndαsvεl m
[5871]...
[5870]...
[5869]...
"There is still around one and a half hour before the treasure game start..." Tang Li Xue counted in her mind.
Tang Li Xue felt relieved since there would be no one targeting her for now, so she decided to take some rest right now to quickly recover her energy.
Based on her experience from the previous treasure game, no one could attack the others while the timer was still counting down, so the situation should be quite safe for now.
Of course, Tang Li Xue"s [Extrasensory Perception] still worked to detect any incoming danger just in case something unexpected happened all of a sudden.
[3], [2], [1], [0]...
After Tang Li Xue dozed off for more than an hour in exhaustion, the countdown timer finally reached zero.
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The huge and majestic golden palace gate suddenly opened as the countdown timer changed into a string of words about the rules of the current treasure game!
