Chapter 642: Decreasing Stat!
The horrifying monster caught up with Tang Li Xue in less than one second and grabbed her silver furry figure with its black hand!
Tang Li Xue immediately wanted to use [Shadow Flash] to get out of the horrifying monster’s grasp, but she instantly realized that her stamina and energy were drained very rapidly by the horrifying monster!
Before she could do anything, her stamina and energy had already been sucked dry by the horrifying monster!
“Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie~!” The horrifying monster laughed evilly in delight as it brought Tang Li Xue closer and opened its bloody mouth filled with jagged sharp teeth.
Just when Tang Li Xue thought that she was really done this time, her silver furry figure suddenly disappeared right after the horrifying monster threw her into its mouth.
…..
Tang Li Xue closed her topaz blue eyes in resignation.
After more than ten seconds, she reluctantly opened her topaz blue eyes slowly when the painful feeling did not come as she thought it would.
Tang Li Xue no longer saw the horrifying monster, but she saw a treasure box in front of her instead.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief while murmuring in a confused tone: “So, I have already won the treasure game just like that?”
Even though the last scene was extremely dangerous and nerve-wracking that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth, but honestly, she did not do much in that treasure game since the one who contributed the most was Little Loki.
After calming down her panicked mood, Tang Li Xue tried to stand up only to find that she was too exhausted to even move.
That horrifying monster surely sucked all of her vitality energy and spiritual energy until dry.
Tang Li Xue was really embarrassed, but she had no choice other than to depend on Little Loki again this time.
Tang Li Xue summoned Little Loki out of her system’s pet space with a single thought, and Little Loki appeared right in front of her.
‘Little Loki, I am counting on you again~!’ Tang Li Xue blushed slightly as she sent her thoughts to Little Loki.
Little Loki rolled its eyes mockingly at the completely exhausted Tang Li Xue, but it still summoned out its two [Phantom Splitter] clones in the end and told them to drag Tang Li Xue away from this place.
Meanwhile, Little Loki itself grabbed the treasure box and quickly caught up with them from behind.
Luckily, they had not met with the other foxes on their way, or their situation might become quite dangerous since Tang Li Xue did not even have any energy left to activate her [Ethereal Form] to hide herself or defend herself so Little Loki must fight alone while protecting the powerless Tang Li Xue.
That also might be because the number of participating foxes had decreased so much after the Foxes Hunting Festival reached the second phase.
Little Loki dragged Tang Li Xue to hide inside the small cave a hundred miles away from the previous location.
The small cave was hidden behind the bushes, so Little Loki thought it should be a quite safe hiding place.
After Tang Li Xue was brought into the hidden cave, she finally could not hold on anymore and immediately fell asleep in great exhaustion.
Little Loki sighed helplessly at the sleeping Tang Li Xue and decided to silently guard right by her side until she was awake.
It might be because she was very nervous and always in a turbulent mood in the previous treasure game, Tang Li Xue fell asleep very soundly until the next day.
After waking up, Tang Li Xue felt extremely refreshed and energetic.
She also found a piece of information injected into her mind after she won the previous treasure game.
That horrifying monster was actually a real one, and it really existed in this Immortal World.
That horrifying monster’s name was Undead Spectre.
From the name alone everyone could tell that the horrifying monster was the creature from the Undead Race.
Of course, Undead Spectre could not become unlimitedly stronger by eating their opponents like Tao Tie.
The growth limit of their strength could only reach True Spirit Beast level, and they were not something Beast Lord Level like them could handle.
So, the piece of information in Tang Li Xue’s mind reminded her that all the foxes below True Spirit Beast level better hide themselves fast when they saw any Undead Spectre if they did not want to die.
It could be said that the previous treasure game was a simulation to avoid or hide from the Undead Spectre.
“Undead Spectre, huh… To think such a horrible monster really exists in the Central Continent, and the foxes living there could accidentally meet them at any time… Well, maybe I should evolve into True Spirit Beast first before I go to the Central Continent later.” Tang Li Xue muttered in a frightened tone while frowning deeply.
“Nyaw~!”
Little Loki’s sound woke Tang Li Xue from her thoughts, and she saw Little Loki push a treasure box to her.
Tang Li Xue blushed in embarrassment when Little Loki pushed the treasure box to her.
“Err… Little Loki, you have contributed the most in the previous treasure game, so this treasure box should be yours.” Tang Li Xue said as she pushed the treasure box back to Little Loki.
But Little Loki did not think so.
Little Loki thought it could get stronger easily without limit by devouring anything, so it was such a waste for it to eat such a precious treasure.
It would be best for Tang Li Xue to eat them instead, so she could get stronger quickly, but if there were some treasures, items, or anything she could not use later, she could give them to it as a meal.
Tang Li Xue pondered Little Loki’s statement and thought that it really made sense.
Little Loki’s combat power might look much weaker in this Foxes Hunting Festival, but it was because Little Loki could not freely use its [Heaven’s Devour].
If Little Loki could use its [Heaven’s Devour] freely without any restriction, Tang Li Xue believed even the Undead Spectre in the previous treasure game would not be its opponent!
Even the Apex Predator-level foxes and Meng Yue… Well, forget about them…
Tang Li Xue agreed and took the treasure box from Little Loki.
When Tang Li Xue opened the treasure box, she found a pitch black small fruit lying inside the treasure box.
The fruit was only as big as a cherry, but the pitch-black made it really unappetizing. Especially, the dark fog emitted by the fruit made it look ominous.
“Err… I suddenly feel full, so Little Loki, I think you can just eat this fruit for me.” Tang Li Xue smiled kindly as she pushed the treasure box back to Little Loki.
Little Loki glared impatiently at Tang Li Xue and angrily pushed the treasure box toward her while muttering: “Meow Nyaww Mew Nyaowww~! (Stop acting like a kid and eat it~!)”
“No, no, no, no… Look at this pitch-black color~! Look at its ominous aura~! It really resembles you very much~! This fruit is clearly fated for you~!” Tang Li Xue tried to persuade Little Loki.
Tang Li Xue and Little Loki kept pushing away the treasure box toward each other for a while until Little Loki completely lost its patience and used [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] on Tang Li Xue.
When all of Tang Li Xue’s senses and movements were locked by [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation], Little Loki took the pitch-black ominous fruit with its paws and forcefully shoved it into Tang Li Xue’s mouth.
After she was released from the [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]’s effect, Tang Li Xue coughed violently as she felt her mouth and throat burning with acid.
*Ding!
[You had consumed Illusory Realm Fruit.]
[Your Strength, Agility, and Spirit stats increased by 500.]
[Your Toughness stat decreased by 300.]
[You have unlocked Spiritualist Battle Style and obtained [Eyes of Illusion] skill!]
[You have awakened (High-Resistance to Illusion) divine ability!]
Strength: 4,600 –> 5,000
Agility: 3,600 –> 4,100
Toughness: 5,000 –> 4,700
Spirit: 4,200 –> 4,700
*Ding!
[Your Strength stat has reached the maximum limit, and it can no longer be increased anymore. Please evolve to a higher-grade beast as soon as possible to increase the maximum limit of all stats.]
[The excessive Strength stat had already been automatically converted into EXP!]
Tang Li Xue: “???!!!”
Tang Li Xue was very surprised that she actually unlocked another skill from the Spiritualist Battle Style, and she even awakened a new divine ability, [High-Resistance to Illusion].
With this [Eyes of Illusion] skill, she could make her opponent see some illusion through eye contact.
While the [High-Resistance to Illusion]’s effect was just like its name, this divine ability granted high resistance to all illusion-types divine abilities and skills.
So, unless Tang Li Xue’s opponents have several times higher Spirit stat than her, their illusion-types divine abilities or skills would not be effective on Tang Li Xue.
But what made Tang Li Xue very unhappy was that her Toughness stat had actually decreased by 300!
“What the hell?! How could my stats decrease instead after consuming precious treasure?!” Tang Li Xue jumped and complained angrily.
‘System~! Wake up quickly and give me an explanation about this~!’ Tang Li Xue called impatiently in her mind.
