Chapter 549: Three Foxes Team!
Tang Li Xue continued her way toward the Doppelganger with the black and white striped fox, but she did not dare to let down her guard even for one second.
On her way, Tang Li Xue still carefully kept some distance from the black and white striped fox while observing its every movement carefully with her [Extrasensory Perception].
After all, the verbal agreement meant nothing at all, and the black and white striped fox could break their deal and launch a sneak attack on Tang Li Xue from behind at any time.
Of course, doing so right now would not bring any benefit at all, so Tang Li Xue did not say anything to question the black and white striped fox.
Even Little Loki also silently glared at the black and white striped fox with a pair of cold eyes since this fox was the one who injured it so badly before.
Surprisingly, the black and white striped fox was much more useful than Tang Li Xue had thought since it could detect the hidden passage to the other side of the mirror maze with its divine ability, so their journey to find the Doppelganger was much smoother than before.
After running together for half an hour or so while taking several shortcuts from the other side of the mirror maze and then running back and forth between two spaces, Tang Li Xue and the black and white striped fox finally bumped into another fox.
Yes, it was actually the previous stone-armored fox!
"This damn bast*rd is the one who almost killed me and Yaya before~!" Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in anger, but when she almost launched an attack on the stone-armored fox and the stone-armored fox also wanted to attack her, the black and white striped fox quickly stopped them.
"Stop~! Wait a minute, everyone~!" The black and white striped fox shouted as it stood between Tang Li Xue and the stone-armored fox.
Tang Li Xue halted her move when she heard the black and white striped fox's shout, but the stone-armored fox did not care and used its divine ability to attack both of them!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The mirror floor shook violently, and several stone spikes suddenly shot out from the ground!
But both Tang Li Xue and the black and white striped fox had already prepared their respective skill and ability to dodge them!
[Moonlight Flickering Flash Step]!
[Shadow Reflection]!
With [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step], Tang Li Xue did not only flicker to avoid the stone spikes attack but she also dashed forward to swiftly approach the stone-armored fox!
BAAAAAAAANNGG~!
The stone-armored fox quickly erected a thick stone wall to block Tang Li Xue before she could reach the stone-armored fox!
Tang Li Xue could only halt her step. She sensed that she could not use her [Ethereal Form] to pass through this stone wall since it had been imbued with thick earth elements.
But it did not mean that Little Loki also could not pass through this stone wall like Tang Li Xue!
With its [Instant Teleportation], Little Loki teleported right beside the stone-armored fox and activated its ability to lock the stone-armored fox's movement and abilities!
[Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]!
In that instant, the stone-armored fox's vision turned dark, and it could no longer move!
Even the stone wall and stone spikes it created just now began to crumble apart without the control of the stone-armored fox's divine ability.
"Great job, Little Loki~! Now, let's finish it off quickly, so we can continue our journey!" Tang Li Xue excitedly praised Little Loki, and she wanted to give a thumbs up to Little Loki, but... well, her paws did not have any thumbs...
Tang Li Xue pounced toward the stone-armored fox and aimed her paw at its head!
[Moon Shattering Strike]!
While Little Loki was also attacking the stone-armored fox from the right side!
[Scythe Claw Qi]!
BAAAAAAAANGGG~! BAAAAAAAANGGG~!
Both Tang Li Xue's [Moon Shattering Strike] and Little Loki's [Scythe Claw Qi] managed to land on the stone-armored fox's head and body, but they failed to leave any wounds on the stone-armored fox!
On the contrary, both Tang Li Xue and Little Loki were thrown away by the counter reflection from the stone-armored fox's defense-type divine ability.
The stone-armored fox shook its head as the effect of Little Loki's [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] wear off, and it regained back its senses and movement.
"Damn it~! What the hell with that defense?! It can even block my [Moon Shattering Strike]?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
Her [Moon Shattering Strike] was a defense penetration attack, so normally, it could pass through any defense and explode the power inside the target's body.
Tang Li Xue really did not understand why her [Moon Shattering Strike] failed to hurt this stone-armored fox.
Even Little Loki's [Scythe Claw Qi] only managed to leave some white marks on the stone-armored fox's body.
"Sigh... It is useless. That stone fox's defense is unbreakable. No matter what we do to it, we will never be able to hurt it at all as long as it still touches the ground." The black and white striped fox explained with a calm tone.
Tang Li Xue was dumbfounded when she heard the black and white striped fox's explanation.
'What the hell is that divine ability?! Isn't it too overpowered?! And how could you know about that?!" Tang Li Xue muttered in amazement.
"Because I already fought with it for more than half an hour before... I cannot do anything to hurt it but it also cannot do anything to hurt me." The black and white striped fox replied blatantly to Tang Li Xue.
The stone-armored fox glared angrily at Tang Li Xue and Little Loki and prepared to launch another attack on them, but the black and white striped fox quickly warned it: "All right, that is enough! We are only wasting our time by fighting between ourselves here!"
The black and white striped fox stared coldly at the stone-armored fox and continued to say: "Don't think that you are invincible because of your divine ability! I or she alone might not be able to hurt you, but it would be a different matter if we worked together to kill you!"
The stone-armored fox stared at the black and white striped fox and started to hesitate.
The black and white striped fox quickly took this chance to persuade the stone-armored fox and said to it: "You should already realize it too. This treasure game is a kind of trap for us. Because it will take too long for us to kill the Doppelganger alone."
"Honestly, I prefer us to work together to take down the Doppelganger as soon as possible, so I can quickly join other treasure games and win several other precious treasures from them. I think all of you should think so too, right?" The black and white striped fox questioned the stone-armored fox and Tang Li Xue.
After thinking for a while, Tang Li Xue and the stone-armored fox also agreed with the black and white striped fox's opinion.
This treasure game was clearly a trap for them to waste their time...
From the confusing mirror maze to the hidden other side of the mirror maze, also the Doppelganger that could disguise as anyone and imitate all of their divine abilities...
Just how much time they would need to spend if they want to hunt and kill the Doppelganger alone?!
Tang Li Xue finally understood the black and white striped fox's intention.
In short, this black and white striped fox just wanted to finish this treasure game quickly, so it could participate in several other treasure games.
Because if each of them stubbornly wanted to hunt the Doppelganger alone, they would miss several other treasure games instead because of this time-wasting treasure game!
The stone-armored fox finally agreed to join their team under the black and white striped fox persuasion.
Tang Li Xue's mouth secretly twitched in frustration: 'These damn arrogant predator-level foxes really think differently from me!'
Yes, Tang Li Xue realized that when she always thought hard about how to win the treasure game, the predator-level foxes always thought about how to win more treasure games in a more efficient way and in the shortest time possible.
'Humph~! So what?! Didn't I still manage to snatch two precious treasures even against predator-level foxes before?!' Tang Li Xue smugly thought.
Then she suddenly got curious about how many treasures these other two foxes had already obtained from winning the treasure games until now, so she decided to ask them about it...
"Not many, I only got eleven treasures until now. That is the reason why I must work harder to win more games and stop wasting time in this game." The black and white striped fox replied with its usual bland tone.
The stone-armored fox glared enviously at the black and white striped fox and replied with an unwilling tone: "I only got six treasures for now... But I will definitely get more than you in the end!"
Tang Li Xue: "....."
Then both the black and white striped fox and the stone-armored fox stared at Tang Li Xue waiting for her answer...
Tang Li Xue put a blank expression and shamelessly said: "Well, I only got a little less than both of you...Yes, only a little bit less... Okay, let's stop talking and run quicker, so we can kill that Doppelganger as soon as possible!"
Tang Li Xue suddenly used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and increased her running speed until she turned into a flash.
Even Little Loki who still dozing off on the top of Tang Li Xue's head was almost fell down because of it.
