“Damn it~! Even though we already knew something like this would happen, we still could not prevent it!” Tang Li Xue muttered displeasantly.

Little Loki jumped down from Tang Li Xue’s back and immediately activated its [Instant Teleportation]!

Little Loki teleported out from the [The Cage of Darkness] and found the hiding fox who imprisoned the three of them just now.

Although the hiding fox was still in the invisible state, Little Loki’s extremely sharp sense of smell could still faintly sense it.

Little Loki activated its [Phantom Splitters] to summon out its two phantom clones, and the three of them swiftly charged toward the hiding fox.

[Flash and Slash] x3! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

SWOOSH~! SWOOSH~! SWOOSH~!

The three Little Lokis vanished as their speed suddenly increased by many times, and they slashed their claws to the hiding fox.

Strangely, the claws of the three Little Lokis passed through the hiding fox’s body as if they were only attacking a mere false image.

Little Loki frowned deeper as it saw the hiding fox’s strange divine ability.

It actually had the same effect as Tang Li Xue’s [Ethereal Form]!

But Little Loki’s claw attack should be able to break Tang Li Xue’s [Ethereal Form] since its claw attack had already imbued with Sharp Sword Qi that Little Loki obtained from devouring the ancient legendary swords in Crystal Palace Tomb.

From that, it could be seen this hiding fox’s divine ability should be much more advanced than Tang Li Xue’s [Ethereal Form]!

Since Little Loki still did not have any idea about how to counter this hiding fox’s strange divine ability, it decided to lock this hiding fox with its [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] first!

Little Loki opened its third eye as it stared at the invisible hiding fox!

[Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]~!

By momentarily locking the hiding fox’s senses and movements, Little Loki successfully dispelled the [The Cage of Darkness] that imprisoned Tang Li Xue and Yaya!

After being released from the [The Cage of Darkness], Tang Li Xue and Yaya still could not find the hiding fox.

“Forget it~! Yaya, Little Loki, come here quickly~! We will enter the pillar of golden light now~!” Tang Li Xue shouted to Yaya and Little Loki.

However, Little Loki’s [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] could only lock the hiding fox for one or two seconds at most, and it quickly broke out from Little Loki’s lock.

The hiding fox immediately unleashed another attack on Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and Yaya!

[Shadow Bind]~!

The movement of Tang Li Xue and her group halted once again before they could reach the pillar of golden light!

“Tsk~! Do you really think I really cannot attack you just because I cannot find you?! Then you are very wrong~!” Tang Li Xue muttered with a cold tone.

[Spirit Shock]~!

Yes, this was Tang Li Xue’s latest offense skill she got after consuming the precious treasure she won from the previous treasure game!

Tang Li Xue’s spirit power spread around in an instant and assaulted the consciousness of all living creatures nearby!

Of course, Tang Li Xue already excluded Yaya and Little Loki, so her [Spirit Shock] only affected the hiding fox!

This [Spirit Shock] was actually not lethal at all for the creatures with Spirit stat equal to Tang Li Xue or higher, but it still could stun them for a few moments or make them dizzy for a few seconds.

These few seconds were more than enough for Tang Li Xue to take Little Loki and Yaya back into her system’s pet space, and then she hastily jumped into the pillar of golden light!

Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue’s [Spirit Shock] managed to cancel the hiding fox’s strange divine ability and revealed itself to Tang Li Xue before she entered the treasure game’s space.

The hiding fox was a pitch-black fox with an ominous grey vassal mark on its chest.

With just one glance, Tang Li Xue could sense that this pitch-black fox was an extremely powerful one, and it must have already reached a top-tier predator-level fox.

But the ominous grey vassal mark on its chest was actually the one that attracted Tang Li Xue’s attention the most.

It gave her a repulsive and dreadful feeling just by looking at it.

Before Tang Li Xue disappeared she muttered in a loathful tone: “What an abominable vassal mark is that?!”

…..

Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes and found herself inside a cave this time.

She tried to walk out of the cave, but she actually got blocked by something invisible.

There was a countdown timer above the cave’s mouth.

[3164]…

[3163]…

[3162]…

[3161]…

“Umm, it should be around one hour, huh… Well, it is not that long when Yaya and Little Loki accompany me.” Tang Li Xue nodded as she released Yaya and Little Loki from her system’s pet space.

Little Loki sat on the ground and yawned lazily, while Yaya excitedly flew to Tang Li Xue and playfully hugged her snout.

Tang Li Xue also jokingly patted Yaya gently using her paw and played with Yaya for a while.

“I have a bad feeling about that fox. You two should be more careful if you meet with that fox later. Do you two understand?” Tang Li Xue warned Yaya and Little Loki with a stern tone.

Little Loki and Yaya nodded at Tang Li Xue with a solemn expression.

Tang Li Xue sighed as she thought that all the foxes chosen as the vassals of those Apex Predator-level foxes were truly exceptional among the others.

Just like that pitch-black fox, it was undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Little Loki explained to Tang Li Xue what had happened when it briefly fought against that pitch-black fox before, and Tang Li Xue’s expression turned even more grim.

Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue’s [Extrasensory Perception] failed to detect that pitch-black fox even though it was so close to them before.

Moreover, its strange divine ability was like an advanced divine ability of her [Ethereal Form].

This pitch-black fox was clearly a much more troublesome opponent than Tang Li Xue had ever expected.

Time passed unknowingly as the three of them discussed the pitch-black fox seriously, and their waiting time was up.

After the countdown timer reached zero, it changed into a string of words about the rules of the current treasure game as usual.

[Playing hide and seek should be fun, but it depends on the opponent.]

[The fox who survives the longest without getting caught by it will win this treasure game.]

[Be sure to keep silent and do not move when it is close to you.]

[Never stare at its eyes or it could instantly sense you.]

[Do not be afraid to have fun with it, but be really careful to never get caught by it~! Good luck, fox cubs~!]

Tang Li Xue looked at the treasure game’s rules and muttered with a confused tone: “The rules of this treasure game are a bit strange.”

Well, the treasure game’s rules were actually quite clear and easy to understand, but… the identity of ‘it’ in this treasure game’s rules was never explained.

“So, we must play hide and seek now, right? But who we must hide from?! Tsk, at least give us a little bit of clue about it~!” Tang Li Xue asked while frowning deeply.

Tang Li Xue shook her furry head as she decided to stop thinking about it for now and led Yaya and Little Loki to walk out of the cave.

The night sky above them was completely dark without any moon or stars.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue could see the surroundings very clearly with her [Night Vision].

They were actually in the middle of the dense jungle right now.

There were many huge trees and dense bushes everywhere that covered their visions.

As a cold night breeze blows Tang Li Xue’s silver furry figure, she shivered violently when her heart was suddenly flooded with eerie feeling.

Although her [Extrasensory Perception] did not give her any danger warning, her hunch was screaming that this place was really bad news for them.

‘Damn it~! What a horrifying jungle is this! It is too quiet here!’ Tang Li Xue thought in fear as her expression turned pale.

Tang Li Xue quickly warned Yaya and Little Loki to never make any noise through their mental connection.

Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs to turn her fear into anger as she thought the first line of the rules of this treasure game.

[Playing hide and seek should be fun, but it depends on the opponent.]

In short, it indirectly warned that this hide-and-seek game clearly would not be a fun game for them!

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down as she hastily activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] again.

Little Loki and Yaya jumped onto Tang Li Xue’s back and sat obediently while activating their own stealth skill to turn invisible.

In the [Ethereal Form], Tang Li Xue could easily travel around unhindered in this jungle since she could pass through the huge trees and dense bushes.

Just after Tang Li Xue traveled in this creepy jungle for two or three minutes, suddenly…

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH~! No, don’t come closer to me~! HHHEEEEEEELLLLPPP~!”

Someone actually shouted out loud with a hoarse voice filled with fear and panic.
