Chapter 850 850: Heading Into the Armory!
On the next day, Yaya was the one who woke up earliest as usual, then she woke up Tang Li Xue and the others.
Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and Lucia stretched their bodies while yawning lazily at the same time.
“Good morning, everyone~! Did you all sleep well?” Xi’er happily greeted Tang Li Xue and her team.
“Hoaahm~! Morning… Xi’er…” Tang Li Xue replied to Xi’er while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Xi’er kept chattering happily and even greeted Tang Li Xue’s team one by one.
Tang Li Xue felt even more sorry for Xi’er as she could clearly feel how lonely Xi’er was from how she behaved.
Xi’her had been living alone inside this underwater palace for tens of thousands of years or maybe even longer than that.
However, Tang Li Xue and her group surely could not stay in this underwater palace for long just to accompany Xi’er. They would definitely leave this underwater palace sooner or later, and by that time, Xi’er would be left alone again in this underwater palace.
Tang Li Xue sighed sadly while thinking: ‘Is there really no way to bring Xi’er back with us?’
Even though Tang Li Xue felt pity for Xi’er and was reluctant to leave Xi’er alone here, but her life still had to go on. She clearly could not waste her time, especially since her first priority task to evolve into a [Rare] Grade Beast was only one step away from being fulfilled.
After feeding Little Loki with dozens of beast cores, Yaya with delicious snacks, and Lucia with several Spirit Dew Cucumbers, Tang Li Xue reluctantly bid farewell to Xi’er again and led her team to the armory on the right side of the underwater palace.
Little Loki and Yaya sat on Tang Li Xue’s shoulders while Lucia followed right beside Tang Li Xue as they climbed the stairs on the right side of the underwater palace.
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly when she saw dozens of Merman soldiers’ stone statues lined up neatly on the left and right sides of the long corridor.
After seeing so many moving statues, Tang Li Xue felt that she had started to have a phobia every time she saw any stone statue and thought that they would move and attack her.
“Everyone, be careful of these stone statues… Don’t let your guard down!” Tang Li Xue warned Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia in a solemn tone.
Little Loki and Yaya nodded at Tang Li Xue with a serious expression, while Lucia voluntarily walked right in front of Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue admiringly gave two thumbs-up to Lucia in her heart and praised her: ‘What a dependable bird~! She is really the complete opposite of the dumb bird…’
Tang Li Xue and Lucia vigilantly walked through the long corridor while keeping their eyes on the Merman soldiers’ stone statues on the left and right sides.
Fortunately, nothing strange happened until Tang Li Xue and her group reached the metal door at the end of the long corridor.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief as she tried to push open the metal door.
But surprisingly, she met a strong resistance after pushing the metal door open a bit as if something blocked the door from the inside.
Lucia quickly realized Tang Li Xue’s difficulty and also helped to push open the metal door with her head.
Tang Li Xue also gritted her pearl-white teeth as she mobilized all of her strength to push the metal door with Lucia.
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
However, Tang Li Xue’s [Extrasensory Perception] quickly sensed the sudden incoming danger from behind the metal door that they just opened!
“Watch out, Lucia~!” Tang Li Xue shouted to warn Lucia while she swiftly moved aside from the opened metal door!
BOOOOOOOM~!
Dozens of basketball-sized heavy metal ores were thrown out from inside the armory, and they struck the wall and floor in the corridor until they left several deep craters!
All materials used to create this underwater palace were extremely tough. Even Tang Li Xue was not sure if she could leave deep craters like these if she tried to attack the wall and floor with her fist or kick.
Luckily, both Tang Li Xue and Lucia were quick enough to move aside to dodge the sudden attacks, or they would surely be injured and stuck inside those deep craters.
“ROOOAAAARRR~!”
Tang Li Xue and her group heard an ear-deafening roar from inside the armory.
It seemed they accidentally awoke a quite powerful creature that sleeping inside the armory when they forcefully pushed open the metal door just now.
Tang Li Xue sneakily peeked into the opened metal door and saw a grumpy and ferocious-looking zombie creature behind the metal door.
It was also a mermen zombie creature with a more than ten-meter tall muscular green body and carrying a huge bone hammer.
In Tang Li Xue’s eyes, this mermen zombie creature was a bit like a mutant ninja turtle in the movie she watched in her previous life. However, it looked more grotesque and disgusting with some parts of its body decaying.Tang Li Xue could easily tell at just one glance that this mermen zombie creature was really not easy to deal with.
“Damn it~! We have not even stepped into the armory yet, but we have already bumped into such a troublesome zombie creature.” Tang Li Xue grumbled in annoyance.
The only good news right now was that the green muscular zombie merman could not get out of the armory since the metal door was only around two meters tall.
Its more than ten-meter tall muscular green body definitely could not get out through the metal door even if it tried to crawl out from it.
“All right, now what? Should we just give up and head directly to the herb and elixir room?” Tang Li Xue hesitantly muttered as she tried to ask for the opinion of her team.
The obedient Yaya did not bother to think as she would always follow Tang Li Xue’s opinion, while Little Loki clearly did not want to give up any snacks it could find just like that.
It even already had thought to sneak in alone with its [Instant Teleportation] if Tang Li Xue decided to give up on exploring this armory.
But right at this time…
“Kweehh~! Kweehh~! ( Leave that big guy to me~!)” Lucia bravely said to Tang Li Xue.
“What?! Are you really sure that you can handle it, Little Lucia? That big guy did not look weak at all!” Tang Li Xue skeptically asked Lucia.
“Chirp~! Chirp~! Kweeeakk~! (Leave it to me~! I am sure I can handle it!)” Lucia confidently replied while patting her wing onto her chest.
After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue decided to put her trust in Lucia since she also wanted to see how strong Lucia had become.
“Okay then, I will be counting on you, Little Lucia. Don’t worry about anything and just go all out later! We will also help you to fight that big guy later!” Tang Li Xue instructed Lucia in an encouraging tone.
Lucia solemnly nodded at Tang Li Xue before she passed through the metal door and charged bravely into the armory alone!
[Gigantification]~!
Lucia’s two-meter-tall body covered with white and gold feathers instantly swelled and became more than the twenty-
meter tall body!
Lucia’s body actually became twice bigger than the muscular green zombie merman!
Before the muscular green zombie merman could react, Lucia headbutted it heavily with breakneck speed!
BOOOOOOOMM~!
The muscular green zombie merman was caught unprepared, and it was thrown off more than fifty meters, then crashed onto dozens of weapons racks!
Lucia did not want to give the muscular green zombie merman any chance to breathe as she launched another attack swiftly!
[Golden Light Spell]~!
Lucia’s body was shrouded in a transparent golden barrier when she rushed toward the muscular green zombie merman!
[Blade Feather Slash]~!
PUFF~! PUFF~!
Lucia slashed her wings at the muscular green zombie merman leaving a deep cross wound on its chest!
“ROOOOOOAAAAAAAARR~!”
The muscular green zombie merman roared in great rage as it swung its heavy bone hammer at Lucia’s head!
But Lucia agilely jumped back and easily dodged the muscular green zombie merman’s hammer attack!
Then she even had time to catch the muscular green zombie merman’s arm that swung the heavy bone hammer!
[Tearing Claw]~!
PUUUFFF~!
Lucia forcefully tore the muscular green zombie merman’s arm that was holding the heavy bone hammer!
Everything happened so fast in only a few breaths, so when Tang Li Xue stepped into the armory with Yaya and Little Loki, the fight was already almost over.
Tang Li Xue dropped her jaws in shock and disbelief when she saw the scene right in front of her eyes.
At this moment, Lucia was swiftly spinning her body gracefully in mid-air while using her [Blade Feather Slash] to behead the muscular green zombie merman!
Then Lucia caught the muscular green zombie merman’s flying head with her beak and excitedly brought it to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue: “…..”
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly in puzzlement.
She did not even know anymore whether the muscular green zombie merman was too useless and weak or whether Lucia was too strong.
But after thinking for a while, Tang Li Xue immediately determined that it should be Lucia who had become too strong.
Not only she could use [Gigantification] to get bigger and stronger, she even have [Flash Speed], [Golden Light Spell], [Herculean Strength], and [Golden Vajra Body].
Even though Lucia’s divine abilities were not as many as Tang Li Xue’s, but they could connect perfectly with each other to bring out her strength further.
As a result, the combination effect of her divine abilities became like one plus one was greater than two, or maybe even greater than ten!
