Chapter 673 Chapter 673: Final Gambling!
The wood-controlling fox was extremely startled. Even her body instantly stiffened when she heard Little Loki"s milky voice.
But before the wood-controlling fox could react or do anything, Little Loki had already used one of its most powerful yet most despised abilities!
[Buddha"s Purification Light]~!
OOOMMMMMMM~!
Little Loki"s tiny furry figure was s.h.i.+ning with blinding golden light all of a sudden!
The sound of Sanskrit prayer penetrated directly into the wood-controlling fox"s deepest consciousness, and it echoed louder and louder in her mind!
The wood-controlling fox felt like her mind and brain got fried in that instant as she howled and screamed out loud in extreme pain while holding her furry head with both of her paws.
The blinding golden light was extremely eye-catching in the dark environment of the enormous wooden dome created by the wood-controlling fox.
Tang Li Xue could instantly find their exact location in one glance through the blinding golden light as the sign!
"So you are hiding there~!" Tang Li Xue muttered with an indifferent expression.
Previously, Tang Li Xue had already guessed that the cowardly and scheming wood-controlling fox would never show herself to them, so all of the wood-controlling foxes on the battlefield were definitely only her clones.
Tang Li Xue was really sure that the real wood-controlling fox had hidden in a safe place while using all of her clones as her "eyes" to keep track of their every move.
But knowing all of those was completely useless for Tang Li Xue since she did not have any way to find the real wood-controlling fox that was hiding.
At that time, Little Loki suddenly came up with a brilliant idea to track down the real wood-controlling fox"s hiding place!
It was by using Little Loki"s sensitive sense of smell to trace the source of the tracking scent on Tang Li Xue!
The wood-controlling fox might never have expected that someone could use the tracking scent and trace it back to find her since her tracking scent was basically odorless, colorless, and traceless.
The wood-controlling fox could use the tracking scent to find Tang Li Xue by using a special type of plant as a pointer, not by relying on her sense of smell.
Even Tang Li Xue"s sharp sense of smell which had already been strengthened several times by [Extrasensory Perception] failed to smell the tracking scent on her, so it should be impossible for the wood-controlling fox to smell it too.
Only the special Little Loki could faintly smell the tracking scent, maybe it related to Little Loki"s treasure-tracking ability or food-seeking ability as Taotie"s cub, but even Tang Li Xue and Little Loki itself still did not know the exact reason for that.
The wood-controlling fox should have never thought that the only reason for her downfall was the little black kitten she did not even bother to pay any attention to until now!
Tang Li Xue took this only opportunity to create a bow and arrow with her [Energy Manipulation], then imbued them with the power of Yaya"s wind and deep blue Flame of Pride!
"So, you d.a.m.n coward is hiding deep in the underground all this time?! Tsk, I should have guessed it long ago..." Tang Li Xue said as she controlled the arrow and loaded it to the bow, then pulled the bowstring.
[Shockwave Impact] to increase the lethality by several times~!
[Sharp Edge Power] to increase arrow sharpness by several times~!
[Whirlwind Vacuum Wave] to push the arrow forward and increase its speed by several times~!
Tang Li Xue even applied the spiral flames method on the arrow to increase the penetrative power and firepower many times!
"Oh, right... I almost forgot this one..." Tang Li Xue muttered as she applied her weapon skill to the arrow too.
[Final Strike] activated~! (Deal 3x damage, Critical Rate +20%, Attack Speed +30%)
"Little Loki, go away from there quickly~!" Tang Li Xue warned urgently through their mental connection.
Little Loki immediately used its [Instant Teleportation] as rapidly as it could to go farther from there as Tang Li Xue finally unleashed the arrow toward the real wood-controlling fox"s hiding place!
The arrow instantly vanished from Tang Li Xue"s view as it flashed with astonis.h.i.+ng speed!
The wood-controlling fox who just awakened from the excruciating pain in her head tried to urge her power to block it, but it was already far too late!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!
The great explosion completely obliterated the wood-controlling fox, and it kept spreading around destroying even her enormous wooden dome!
Under the power imbued by Tang Li Xue in her merge form with her perfect copy, Yaya, and Phoenix of Pride, the destructive power of this arrow had even surpa.s.sed the previous [Purple Destruction Wave]!
Tang Li Xue let out a sigh of relief as she quickly flew higher to avoid being injured by the great destructive explosion.
"Little Loki, are you all right? You should have already gone far away from there, right?" Tang Li Xue worriedly asked through their mental connection.
However, Little Loki suddenly appeared right on the top of Tang Li Xue"s head with its [Instant Teleportation] while yawning lazily.
Tang Li Xue smiled happily, but just as she wanted to praise Little Loki for its great job, something very bad she had never expected actually happened right at this moment!
CRACK~! CRACK~! CRACK~! CRACK~!
"PUUUFFF~!" Tang Li Xue spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood from her mouth as her consciousness became blurry.
But Tang Li Xue could still feel that the vitality energy in her body was dispersing at an extremely fast rate!
Yes, what Meng Yue warned her before had just happened right now!
Tang Li Xue"s beast core could no longer bear the ma.s.sive power of three creatures (her perfect copy, Yaya, and Phoenix of Pride) and finally shattered to pieces!
Tang Li Xue could no longer maintain her [War G.o.ddess Mode], and her [War G.o.ddess Mode] was automatically canceled.
When the unconscious Yaya almost fell down from the sky, Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs to put Yaya into her System"s pet s.p.a.ce despite that she was already in extremely horrible condition.
The Phoenix of Pride was very worried about Tang Li Xue"s condition at this moment, but it also could not bear it anymore since its own condition was not that good because of the [War G.o.ddess Mode]"s horrifying backlash.
The Phoenix of Pride entered Tang Li Xue"s Dantian and fell asleep under the [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl].
When Tang Li Xue fell down from the sky, Little Loki summoned out its two [Phantom Splitter] clones.
Little Loki tried its best to catch the half-conscious Tang Li Xue before she crashed onto the ground while its two [Phantom Splitter] clones caught the falling treasure box.
Little Loki hastily brought Tang Li Xue away from there to find a safer place for her to rest.
Meanwhile, one of Little Loki"s two [Phantom Splitter] clones looked around for a few moments and used [Instant Teleportation] to someplace.
Then it actually dragged out another treasure box from under the rubble!
Surprisingly, this treasure box actually belonged to the defeated wood-controlling fox after she won the previous treasure game, but she immediately planned to rob Tang Li Xue"s treasure box, so she did not have time to use and digest her own reward yet.
So, Tang Li Xue and Little Loki managed to obtain two treasure boxes this time!
"Cough, cough, cough... Stop, Little Loki... Put me down now..." Tang Li Xue whispered weakly to Little Loki.
Little Loki hesitated for a while, but it still decided to obediently follow Tang Li Xue"s words.
Little Loki put down the dying Tang Li Xue gently onto the ground.
When Little Loki saw Tang Li Xue"s rapidly withered body, it almost burst into tears.
Tang Li Xue took this chance to put Little Loki into her System"s pet s.p.a.ce while explaining with telepathy: "I am sorry to make you sad, Little Loki. But you do not need to worry since this is only a false body in Foxes Hunting Festival."
After that, Tang Li Xue tried to use [Quick Restore] divine ability to completely recover herself back to normal.
Unfortunately, it was completely failed...
To use any of her divine abilities, she needed to consume some of her vitality energy, including her [Quick Restore].
But her beast core had shattered, and all of her vitality energy had dissipated right now.
Her [Quick Restore] might be able to restore herself back to normal no matter how bad her condition was, but she did not even have any vitality energy to use [Quick Restore] at this point.
In short, it was truly a checkmate for Tang Li Xue this time.
"Sigh, how sad... It seems my journey in this Foxes Hunting Festival is finally over this time... But before that, let me gamble for one last time~!" Tang Li Xue thought as she took out one of her two [Greater Lucky Stickers] from her system"s item storage.
Tang Li Xue gritted her fangs to firm her determination as she used the [Greater Lucky Sticker] on herself.
*Ding~!
[You have consumed a (Greater Lucky Sticker)!]
[Greater Lucky Sticker Buff Duration: 00:10:00]
Tang Li Xue slowly crawled to the two treasure boxes and opened them while communicating with her system in her mind: "System, use the two [Silver Lottery Tickets] right now~!"
[The silver wheel of fate started to spin!]
Tang Li Xue did not bother to care about the result of the lotteries since she could feel that her withered body got weaker and weaker with every pa.s.sing second. She even felt extremely sleepy already right now.
Tang Li Xue quickly opened the two treasure boxes with her snout and hastily swallowed what was stored inside them.
She could only silently pray in her heart that the precious resources stored inside the two treasure boxes could help her out of this critical situation.
