Tang Li Xue had no confidence that she could find any gaps in the sealed space created by this master level inscriptionist, but at least she would still choose to try to find him rather than give up without trying.
Tang Li Xue even canceled her [Transfiguration] divine ability and returned to her fox form so that she could fight at full strength if needed.
He continued cautiously in the [Ethereal Form] while continuing to observe everything around him.
The same road he passed every day, the same building he saw every day, but there was no one along this road!
He tried his best to find the gap of this sealed space so that he could escape as quickly as possible from here as the longer he was stuck here, the more, the stronger the dangerous feeling he felt but unfortunately before he could do that...
BOOOOOOOOOOM~~!!!
A deafening destructive explosion occurred out of nowhere, destroying almost all of the eastern buildings, and even the street where Tang Li Xue was standing was filled with cracks.
Tang Li Xue also could not escape the destructive explosive shockwave and flew for tens of meters.
Fortunately, he was still within the [Ethereal Form] so that his tiny, hairy body passed through all materials like solid walls and obstacles without a fight. If he wasn't in his [Ethereal Form], he would have hit several walls, tables, doors, etc., and been seriously injured in the end.
Tang Li Xue got up and examined the hairy body for a moment. He heaved a sigh of relief when he did not find any injuries and his HP was still as full as before.
Tang Li Xue began to hesitate between running away from the source of the explosion or approaching the source of the explosion to look for the cause.
Tang Li Xue thought for a moment: If it continues like this I will never be able to find a way out of this sealed space and somehow this sealed space will last. Looks like I have no choice but to look for the space crack at the source of the explosion! Hopefully, the explosion was strong enough to create a small crack in this sealed space so that I could sneak out without being found by anyone!'
The explosion was powerful enough to create a small crack in this sealed space so that I could sneak out without being found by anyone!'
Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth as her topaz blue eyes shone with a strong determination. He approached the source of the explosion carefully with the [Ethereal Form] constantly active.
He immediately lowered his head and stopped moving when his sharp ears that had been enhanced many times by the [Advanced Sense of Hearing] skill managed to hear something.
"Redy! You can't win against me. Give me that 'thing' now and I'll let you live!"
"You .. uhuk .. uhuk ... My master will never allow you for this! You better ..."
"Shut up! I'm sick of your bullshit! There is no point in delaying more time! You are in my sealed room now and you will never be able to escape from here unless I lift the array myself. Give it to me now or DIE!"
"okay... Okay, I got it. But you must swear to forgive me after I give you that item!"
"I swear I'll let you go if you give me that 'thing. Now give it to me!"
Tang Li Xue could only hear their voices. He was still too far away from them coupled with all the smoke, dust, and ruins blocking his view, he could not even see the silhouettes of the two clearly.
Tang Li Xue could only guess their gender from their voices. The menacing ones are men while the ones threatened are women!
Tang Li Xue also did not dare to approach them as she could already feel their terrifying pressure and aura coming out of where the two of them were now.
Both of them were many times stronger than him. In front of their eyes, Tang Li Xue was probably nothing more than an ant accidentally caught in their cage.
But they will definitely kill him if they find out that he was accidentally trapped here to eliminate all living witnesses. As everyone always says: only the dead say nothing.
Tang Li Xue grimaced as if she had accidentally swallowed a fly. He actually found it hard to believe that he could accidentally find a great conflict between powerful foxes after entering the Myriad Foxes Academy in just two days!
'What a rotten fortune! I can't believe my luck hasn't changed at all? compared to my previous life even with all the increase in lucky stats I have right now!' Tang Li Xue cursed her luck in her mind.
The ring necklace on his neck had the attribute of increased luck along with his martial soul! So how could his luck still be so bad!
'Their fight is over. They will definitely lift this array after that and I can sneak away from them without being found. Hopefully, everything will work out as I expected.' Tang Li Xue silently prayed in her heart.
The silence of a few seconds felt like a few hours to Tang Li Xue as she gulped her saliva nervously.
"What are you doing ?! Do you really want to die so badly ?!"
"You liar, how could you save me after you get that thing? You will definitely kill me to silence me, right?! Ptc ... How dare you covet my Master's stuff ?! I'll take you to hell with me! AAAAAAHHHH~!!!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM~~!!!
Thankfully, this time Tang Li Xue had already made her preparations. He was already hiding behind a sturdy wall so that the shockwave from their fierce fight did not make him flung backwards again like before.
'God! Why are they fighting again?! Can't you two discuss this peacefully? How about dividing that thing or whatever it is into two?!' Tang Li Xue lay down while scolding the two powerful foxes in her heart.
However, the fight this time only lasted for a moment before returning to silence.
"Huh! What insolent rubbish! A weakling like you wants to take me to hell with you? Dream on!"
"You ... will .. regret ... it ... Tuanku ... will not ... not .. let ... you ..."
PUUUUFFFF~~!!!
Tang Li Xue's petite hairy body shivered and her neck also felt cold. That last voice was very familiar to him. It was the last sound he heard when he died in the illusion created by the Bridge of Sincerity earlier.
Tap... Tap... Tap... Tap... Tap...
Tang Li Xue heard the sound of heavy footsteps getting closer to her now.
'Damn it! Why did he have to come here at a time like this ?! Can he head the other way ?! Could it be that he came here because he was detecting me? It's impossible, isn't it? What's to be done?! Should I run as fast as I can from here or should I continue to hide here?'
Tang Li Xue decided to close her eyes and recalled some important parts of the [Hiding Art] quickly.
He began to regulate his breathing and slowed his heartbeat according to the instructions of the [Hiding Art].
His heart became much calmer. His anxiety and fear faded along with the surrounding scenery. His breathing and heart rate were also getting slower.
This was the first time he had used it because he had never even practiced it before so the effect was very limited and far from perfect but when combined with his passive divine ability [Hide] and his [Ethereal Form], it was very limited and far from perfect but when combined with his passive [Hide] and [Ethereal Form] abilities, it was enough to deceive the man and make him feel doubtful in his senses.
Tang Li Xue currently closed her eyes and all her senses so that she could neither see nor feel that the man was actually standing in front of the wall where she was hiding right now!
The man frowned as he raised his hand and .....
BOOOOOOOOOOM~~!!!
The sturdy wall in front of Tang Li Xue was smashed to pieces and even the ground under Tang Li Xue was filled with cracks.
"There really isn't anyone here? Tskc... It seems I became more paranoid because of this mission. How could someone sneak into the array created by this honorable one without being discovered by me?! Sighs... I really should get a vacation after this."
"I'm afraid some officials will definitely come here soon to check. They should have been able to sense abnormal space fluctuations when I activated the array earlier. I have to hurry up and get out of here before they come but I have to take the venerable plate formation before."
The man shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief then his figure disappeared as he went to where he set the core of the previous array so that he could turn off the array and take back the formation plate.
A few minutes after the man left, Tang Li Xue coughed violently. He was feeling very uncomfortable all over his body right now.
But Tang Li Xue still felt grateful for this technique because she was able to survive the calamity today thanks to it.
Tang Li Xue felt she had to leave this place as quickly as possible, but she also felt her curiosity continued to urge her to examine the corpse.
Tang Li Xue decided on her choice after a moment of thought and whispered to herself in her mind: Luck always prefers the brave! Go, Tang Li Xue! Although, the man had already taken all that the woman had after killing her, but at the very least, I was still able to get her monster core from her corpse! If I can obtain a [Rare] level monster core, I can sell it for over 50,000 credits later!'
Tang Li Xue ran as fast as she could in her [Ethereal Form]. He still did not dare to turn off his [Ethereal Form] even until now.
After he reached the place where the two had fought before, Tang Li Xue saw the corpse of the three-tailed gray fox, and it was also quite large, almost as big as a horse.
'Wow, three tails... Right guess! It's a [Rare] class fox!' Tang Li Xue started to become even more excited.
However, the condition of this fox corpse was quite bad at the moment. It seemed that the man was using some kind of poisonous medicine or medicine on the corpse of the fox.
Feathers, flesh, bones, and blood slowly melted little by little and turned into a clear liquid like water. It might take ten minutes or so before this fox corpse turned completely into a puddle of clear liquid and no more evidence was left behind.
Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes shone even brighter when she saw that because it meant that no one would know if she took the beast core from this fox corpse before it melted.
'How dear! If I don't take the beast's core, it will also melt and turn into liquid later, right? Tsk, so I did nothing wrong! I only made use of this beast core instead of letting it go to waste! What I am doing now is to avoid wasting resources!'
Tang Li Xue licked her lips and turned off her [Ethereal Form]. He tried to cleave the chest of the fox corpse with his sharp claws so that he could take out the core of the ferocious beast from within it but the flesh and bones of this fox were still extremely hard.
Tang Li Xue thought for a moment before she took out her golden [Inscription Pen] from her inventory system and used it to open the chest of the fox corpse little by little.
[Inscription Pen] gold is very sharp. It could pierce through the bones and flesh of a fox corpse without encountering any resistance. The only drawback is that it is only about twenty centimeters long and only the tip of the pen is sharp.
Fortunately, Tang Li Xue managed to take the beast's core with her golden [Inscription Pen] before her corpse melted completely after trying her hardest.
Tang Li Xue really wanted to laugh out loud happily when she saw a crystal ball as big as an adult fist in her claws.
Even though he accidentally discovered a great danger tonight and almost got killed but he still felt quite lucky and he was completely satisfied with his harvest this time around.
'As everyone always says, any great fortune will always be accompanied by great danger. I agree with this sentence!'
When he stole the pill from the pill storage room earlier or when he took the precious herb from that alchemist garden, everything was accompanied by great danger but in the end he still survived and managed to obtain a bountiful harvest.
But when Tang Li Xue wanted to activate the [Ethereal Form] once again and escape as far as she could from here, he found a small black box like a ring box after the corpse of the fox melted completely into a puddle of clear liquid.
Subconsciously, he remembered about the 'item' or 'object' that the two of them had mentioned earlier.
It is clear that this fox does not store the 'stuff' or 'object' in its outer pocket but in its own body!
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched violently as she realized that she was accidentally involved in something she shouldn't have done, deeper and deeper.
He really wanted so badly to leave this little black box right now and he also kept reminding himself not to fall deeper into this dangerous case and not to fall into his own curiosity due to taste curious always kill that cat!
'Damn it! I hate my curiosity so much! But if I don't take this little black box then my name is no longer Tang Li Xue!'
Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth, she took out the alchemist spatial ring she had obtained from the Asura Demon Sect earlier and took out an old ancient cauldron full of cracks from it.
Tang Li Xue threw the black little box into the old ancient cauldron before storing it again into the alchemist's spatial ring, then she inserted the spatial ring into her outer space pocket.
'I was really scared if that person could still track down this little black box later... Hopefully, this is enough to prevent that person from tracking this box!' Tang Li Xue silently prayed in her heart.
He activated his [Ethereal Form] and waited for a while.
When the man managed to turn off the array and the sealed space had been lifted, he immediately used the [Blink] skill repeatedly and went as far away from here as possible.
Tang Li Xue wanted to return to the residential building as quickly as possible.
