"Of course, I am not lying! Everyone should already know it, right? The Fox Race never deceives any Beast Race. We only deceive Human Race." Instructor Mei Lan replied to reassured the giant lizard.

The giant lizard took a deep breath to regain its composure and murmured with a doubtful tone again while stared in the direction of the Lin Family's Residence: "But… Is it really possible?"

"Do you think it's already too late? Because your friends from Lizard Race will completely destroy that human base in a moment?" Instructor Mei Lan chuckled while asked back.

The giant lizard thought for a while and nodded its giant head to answer Instructor Mei Lan's question.

"You do not need to worry. That human base will certainly not get destroyed today. But I still need your promise on our payment if we somehow managed to rescue your companion from there later. As you already know, we, the foxes from Fox Race, never do anything for free. You can rest reassured since we will only accept the payment after we managed to rescue your companion later." Instructor Mei Lan tried to persuade the giant lizard again.

The giant lizard hesitated for a while again before gnashed its sharp fangs to firm its resolve and said with a tone filled with sorrow: "Respectable Lady of Fox Race, please… please help my beloved one out from the grasp of those cruel humans! All of my children have been killed by them... I... I have no one anymore... I actually planned to kill myself after my beloved one died later."

"But your words have given me a glimmer of hope… I… I can pay you with anything I have! I can give you my life! You can take any part of my body or even make me your mount if you want it! SO… PLEASE… Please… Save my beloved one!" The giant lizard lowered its head until it touched the ground and begged Instructor Mei Lan.

It would take enormous courage for the prideful and arrogant Lizard Race to bow and beg with teary eyes like this.

Not to mention Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao, even the usual sadist Instructor Mei Lan felt a bit touched at the giant lizard's love and sincerity to its female partner.

"You do not need to give me any of your body parts or become my mount as payment. I only want half of the Ancient Martial Art Manual you take from the Lin Family before. It should be still in your possession, right?" Instructor Mei Lan inquired to the giant lizard.

"That half of Ancient Martial Art Manual? I still have it with me since Lizard Race did not want it. What do you want it for? That thing is completely useless for a beast like us!" The giant lizard asked in disbelief.

The giant lizard thought Instructor Mei Lan would ask for something exorbitant, but she only asked for a useless thing like the half of Ancient Martial Art Manual.

For Human Race, all of the Ancient Martial Art Manuals were priceless treasures. But for Beast Race, those things were nothing more than trashy dilapidated paper, which more useless than even toilet paper.

"This is something related to our mission this time. So, do you agree with my condition or not?" Instructor Mei Lan asked with a stern tone.

"Of… Of course, I agree with it! This trash is useless for me anyway. You can take it right now… Do you really only want this thing? You... You will not lie to me, will you? You will definitely save my beloved one, right?" The giant lizard asked in disbelief. It also opened its giant mouth and spewed out half of the Ancient Martial Art Manual onto its claw, then offered to Instructor Mei Lan.

Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao dropped their jaws in surprise and thought: 'It really stored that thing inside its body?! I… I thought Instructor Lan only guessed it blindly before!'

Instructor Mei Lan gladly took half of the Ancient Martial Art Manual from the giant lizard and threw it into her space pouch while said: "You do not need to worry. You only need to wait here for a few days. We will escort your partner back here. But you must know that we cannot guarantee her condition because we still do not know what those humans do to your partner before, so... you must prepare yourself and do not put your hopes too high. You should have already know the human's cruelty, right?"

The giant lizard nodded and murmured: "I… I already know it… I would be already satisfied if I can see or talk to her one last time. I would be glad too, even if you only bring her dead body back to me. At the very least, I can get buried together with her later."

Instructor Mei Lan nodded to the giant lizard and stared in the direction of Lin Family's residence too.

She was waiting for Tang Li Xue to complete the task.

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~~!!!

This was the third combined attack launched by the thirty flying giant lizards from the night sky.

The golden barrier already filled with cracks, and some parts of it already collapsed.

It certainly could not take any more devastating combined strike from those thirty flying giant lizards!

Tang Li Xue also realized that she almost ran out of time.

Currently, Tang Li Xue already broke out from the illusion array and managed to enter the Lin Family's residence.

"Damn it! This is not residence! This is definitely the grand palace! How the hell can I find the eye of protection formation in the place as big as this?!" Tang Li Xue complained, but her movement did not slow down at all.

She already fully utilized her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to run around and her [Extrasensory Perception] to detect everything around her, but she still did not have any clue about where she must heading right now.

Little Loki, who sat on Tang Li Xue's shoulder, was in a dilemma too right now.

It could just have pinpointed the location they should be heading to Tang Li Xue with its paw right now, but Little Loki also realized that it would not make Tang Li Xue grow if it helped her each time she face any trouble.

In the end, Little Loki decided not to help Tang Li Xue unless she faced life-threatening danger.

However, Little Loki still chose to at least give Tang Li Xue a little help…

"Meoooww~! Nyaa… Nyaaa~!" Little Loki meowed while patted at Tang Li Xue's shoulder, then tapped its paw onto its forehead.

"What? I should calm myself first?! Do not feel anxious and think carefully? Little Loki, we are running out of time right now. If we did not strengthen the barrier soon, we would be flattened along with this place!" Tang Li Xue said with a worried tone, but she immediately remembered something.

Tang Li Xue already decided to find some people and asked them about it, but all the people she met were only lowly servants, so they did not know anything useful.

"Ah, you are right! Why should I search for it by myself?!" Tang Li Xue said as she slapped her forehead.

Tang Li Xue summoned out her [Golden Winged Serpent] and her perfect copy.

She also asked Yaya and white Wind Riding Bird to help her search for the eye of protection formation.

Little Loki shook its furry head in disappointment, but it did not say anything anymore to help Tang Li Xue.

"There!" Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes were glittering brighter when her perfect copy detect many people inside the center hall with her [Extrasensory Perception].

Tang Li Xue urged her perfect copy to approach that center hall as soon as possible.

The situation in this center hall was not looking good.

All the people from Lin Family and Oracle Mountain Sect were already thrown into panic and chaos.

They shouted at each other in anger and fright. They also blamed each other uglily.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was still in [Ethereal Form] too, so no one inside the center hall realized that she silently moved closer to the eye of the protective barrier.

'What is that thing? A golden pillar? It seems that golden pillar is the eye of the barrier!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy thought while she examined the golden pillar carefully.

When her perfect copy had moved closer enough, the real Tang Li Xue used [Swap] skill to exchange her position with her perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue took out the Array Strengthening Stone from her space pouch while canceled her [Ethereal Form] at the same time.

"Who?! Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" Some people who guarded the Demon Subduing Pole closely shouted in surprise.

But it was already too late for them to stop Tang Li Xue since she already threw the Array Strengthening Stone as hard as she could toward the Demon Subduing Pole in the middle of the center hall.

WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNGGGG~!!!

The Array Strengthening Stone started to resonance with the Demon Subduing Pole and let out a loud voice!

In that instant, the dying protection barrier was awakened once more!

All the cracks were restored in the blink of an eye!

Even the collapsed part started to regenerate rapidly!

The almost collapsed protection barrier completely regained its former glory in only a few seconds!

However, the people in the center hall were already in panic and chaos right now, so the moment the guards shouted, they already charged angrily toward Tang Li Xue to catch her.

"Holysh*t! These ungrateful people! I come here with so much difficulty to help them, but here they tried to kill me now!" Tang Li Xue grumbled softly.

Although she knew that they were only doing this in the spur of the moment, because they have not yet realized the golden barrier had already been restored by her, but she still felt really uncomfortable when more than thirty Foundation Establishment Experts and some Core Formation Experts tried to catch her.

'I already fulfill the task given by Instructor Lan, but now what?! What I need to do now?! I cannot just let these people catch me just like that, right?' Tang Li Xue's mind spun faster to think a way out.
