Chapter 832: Onward to the Next Destination!
.....
However, Tang Li Xue was currently still remained oblivious to everything in the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.
She was sleeping so soundly without any worries and only woke up in the afternoon the next day.
Tang Li Xue lazily stretched her silver furry body while yawning widely.
Then she activated her [Transfiguration] skill and transformed back into her human form.
After tying her smooth long silver hair in a ponytail style, Tang Li Xue created a set of white clothes with her [Energy Manipulation] and wore it to cover her snowy-white naked slim body.
A silly grin appeared on Tang Li Xue's stunningly beautiful face as she rubbed her hands together excitedly before she took out nine Radiant Star Fruits from her space pouch.
"System, help me check how many points of star energies are contained in these nine Radiant Star Fruits?" Tang Li Xue asked in a nervous but hopeful tone.
[Nine Radiant Star Fruits respectively contains 107, 96, 84, 78, 65, 42, 39, 28, and 21 points of star energies. So, the total is 560 points of star energy.]
"More than five hundred?! Woooaaahhh~! So many?" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise and excitement.
"Adding the previous Seven Stars Soul Grass and Seven Stars Soul Pills, it mean that I have already accumulated 614 points of star energy in total! Wuhuuu~! So, I only need another 385 points of star energy to fulfill my evolution requirement to [Rare]-Grade beast, right?" Tang Li Xue murmured while nodding and grinning in satisfaction.
[Host, you should have forgotten that you have merged with [Awakening Gem] which lowered all of the requirements for your evolution by 25%. So, you should only need 750 points of star energy.]
Tang Li Xue's heartbeat stopped for a moment in surprise after she read her System's reminder.
"I really forgot about that~! System, why don't you remind me after I get the treasures with star energy from Gu Family's mansion before?!" Tang Li Xue slapped her forehead and scolded her System in a displeased tone.
[Because Host did not ask about it before.]
Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth in annoyance while holding back her urge to scold her System.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down and pondered while pinching her smooth chin and muttering: "In short, I only need 136 points of star energy to reach 750 points... This is good news for me since it means I do not need to jump into a dangerous place like the Medicine Garden Palace to look for the treasure containing abundant star energies like before."
Tang Li Xue stored back the nine Radiant Star Fruits into her space pouch and took out the [Treasure Map] from her System's item storage.
She unfurled the [Treasure Map] and stared at the red dots in the [Treasure Map] while considering her next targets carefully.
Most of the red dots shown in the [Treasure Map] were light red, and only a few of them were deep red.
The treasures she could find at the locations of the deep red dots should be extremely precious but the risk should be equally high. The previous Medicine Garden Palace was the concrete proof of that fact.
While the treasures shown in the light red dots on the map should be much less precious compared to the deep red dots, the risk should be moderate at best.
With Tang Li Xue's current strength and the help of Little Loki and Yaya, obtaining the treasures from the light red dots on the map should be a piece of cake for them.
"Urgh, should I choose to pick the treasures from the light red dots with low danger level risk or deep red dots with high danger level risk?" Tang Li Xue muttered in hesitation.
After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue decided to take out Little Loki and Yaya who were still chasing each other playfully in her Dantian's space, and asked for their opinion instead.
Just like several pieces of equipment she obtained from her System, she could also toggle the [Treasure Map] on or off, so she could allow others to see it or not according to her will.
Tang Li Xue explained to Little Loki and Yaya about light red dots and deep red dots shown in the [Treasure Map], then asked them: "Where do you two think we should go?"
"Meow~!" (Here!)
"Yaaa~!" (Here!)
Little Loki used its paw to point at the deep red dots while Yaya used her tiny finger to point at the light red dots.
Little Loki and Yaya glared at each other menacingly, then began to argue with each other!
"Nyaw Meoww~!"
"Ya Yayaya Yaya~!"
They argued even more fiercely until they pinched at each other cheeks and pulled at each other ears while scuffling and rolling around on the ground.
Tang Li Xue facepalmed and scolded them: "You two really have such a fragile plastic friendship! Didn't you just play around happily together just now?!"
Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead in frustration and immediately decided on their next destination.
"All right, that is enough, you two~! Our next target will be this deep red dot. But we will pass two light red dots when she heads toward this deep red dot. We will see if we can obtain enough treasures with star energy before we reach the deep red dot later." Tang Li Xue explained to Little Loki and Yaya to make them stop fighting with each other.
"Humph~!" Yaya and Little Loki harrumphed unhappily and turned their faces from each other.
But Tang Li Xue could easily guess the reason behind Yaya and Little Loki's choice.
Yaya chose the light red dot because its location was the closest to them, while Little Loki chose the deep red dot because it wanted to eat the 'leftover' snacks other than the treasures with abundant star energies needed by Tang Li Xue for her evolution like in the Medicine Garden Palace before.
Unfortunately, the [Stellar Explosion Beam] shot by [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] ruined all of Little Loki's 'leftover' snacks before.
Tang Li Xue also secretly felt guilty about it since Little Loki and Yaya did not get to eat anything after they worked so hard to obtain the nine Radiant Star Fruits for her.
So, Tang Li Xue decided that she would help them to look for the treasures to make them grow stronger after she found enough treasures with star energy and evolved to [Rare]-Grade Beast later.
"Let's go, Little Loki, Yaya~!" Tang Li Xue urged Little Loki and Yaya as she used her [Mother Earth's Gift] to control the stone covering the cave entrance and open a way for them to get out from the dark cave.
Little Loki and Yaya jumped toward Tang Li Xue and leisurely sat on the top of her head and her left shoulder.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible and undetectable while Little Loki and Yaya also used their own skill to turn themselves invisible.
Tang Li Xue executed her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to increase her speed as she turned into a silver flash and sped off toward one of the red dots shown in the [Treasure Map].
This time, Tang Li Xue was no longer obsessed with using her [Sword of Disaster] to catch the zombie creatures she saw and formed her own personal zombie army, so her traveling speed was so much faster than before.
Under the guidance of [Treasure Map], she reached the location of a light red dot in fifteen minutes or so.
But what she currently saw was a lake in the middle of the valley instead.
"So, the treasures are inside the lake? What a troublesome location!" Tang Li Xue groaned in annoyance.
Tang Li Xue furled the [Treasure Map] and threw it into her System's item storage before she brought Little Loki and Yaya to jump and dive into the lake.
The lake water was biting cold, but it was not cold enough to affect Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and Yaya.
Tang Li Xue immediately used her Profound Law of Heat to warm herself, Little Loki, and Yaya, so the biting coldness of the lake water was easily resolved.
But unfortunately, her action provoked the creature inside the lake instead.
A huge one-hundred-meter-long blue snake swiftly swam toward them!
Most of the snakes were usually sensitive to heat, and they should have excellent thermal sensors.
Tang Li Xue who was currently using her Profound Law of Heat was no different from a light beacon amidst the darkness in this huge blue snake's thermal sensors.
'Damn it~! I know this would not be as easy as I thought!' Tang Li Xue sighed in aggravation.
Despite her complaints, Tang Li Xue already took out her [Sword of Disaster] from her space pouch in order to face the huge one-hundred-meter-long blue snake.
Little Loki used its [Phantom Splitters], and its tiny black figure split into ten identical figures, while Yaya... Well, there was nothing much Yaya could do inside the deep cold water, so she decided just to watch the battle while sitting on Tang Li Xue's shoulder.
But who knew that huge blue snake suddenly disappeared from their sight?!
No, the huge blue snake was not turned invisible or vanished, but it was suddenly moving at extremely fast speed in this deep cold water!
BOOOOOM~!
Tang Li Xue was thrown forward dozens of meters as her back was hit heavily by the huge blue snake's tail!
It was so painful that Tang Li Xue felt as if her spine was broken to pieces by that strike!
Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth to withstand the pain and thought: 'This bast*rd is actually really powerful! It seems I have to be more serious! I want to see if you can match me in the underwater battle later~!'
Then Tang Li Xue hastily summoned out her martial soul, [Golden Winged Serpent], without any hesitation!
