Chapter 532: Strong Like a Kraken, But Cunning as a Fox!
Tang Li Xue jumped out from the water using her [Sun Dragon Flash], but the Kraken Fox's enormous tentacles were still chasing after her closely from behind.
Tang Li Xue decided to get out of the water as quickly as she could because she was really not good at fighting in the water.
Even the power of her Flame of Pride would decrease by more than half if she fought in the water.
Moreover, it was truly not a wise choice to fight against Kraken Fox in its own domain.
There was a continuous loud sizzling sound as Tang Li Xue's extremely high temperature deep blue Flame of Pride touched the surrounding water.
The nearest water to Tang Li Xue evaporated into white vapor in an instant, but most of the surrounding water was boiling and forming countless bubbles.
Tang Li Xue created a pair of deep blue [Phoenix Wings] on her back, so she could fly above the water.
The Kraken Fox's enormous tentacles were getting closer and closer to her, but she was undaunted even when she was facing the fierce attack from the enormous tentacles!
Tang Li Xue waved both her paws toward the enormous tentacles that whipped toward her!
[Flame Tiger Claws]!
The deep blue flames condensed into tiger claws and collided with the enormous tentacles!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
The deep blue tiger claws exploded when they clashed against the enormous tentacles.
The deep blue tiger claws only managed to repel away the enormous tentacles but failed to even leave any wound on them.
"Damn it~! These giant tentacles are really much more powerful and tough than the smaller tentacles!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.
Well, that was only the first reason...
The second reason was actually because Tang Li Xue's [Flame Tiger Claws] was already a bit outdated and no longer suitable for the current upgraded Flame of Pride.
Tang Li Xue's [Flame Tiger Claws] was created by incorporating the martial art she copied from one of the Immortal Sword Sect's core disciples, [Crouching Tiger Claws], with her Flame of Pride before.
But the power of this [Crouching Tiger Claws] clearly could no longer bring out the true power of the current upgraded Flame of Pride!
"Tiger, huh... Oh, well... Then I just need to incorporate an even more powerful move with it! How about trying it with my [Tiger Roaring Slash] then?! Let's call it [Flame Tiger Roaring Claws]!" Tang Li Xue murmured after she pondered carefully for a few moments.
When the Kraken Fox's enormous tentacles whipped toward Tang Li Xue again, she immediately condensed another pair of tiger claws with her deep blue Flame of Pride!
[Flame Tiger Roaring Claws]!
The image of the White Tiger shrouded in deep blue flames was condensed behind Tang Li Xue!
ROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRR~!!!
The deafening tiger roar reverberated through the entire nearby channels and corridors!
As the deep blue tiger claws slashed toward the enormous tentacles, the extremely high temperature from Flame of Pride and the destructive vibration force from the [Tiger Roaring Slash] blended perfectly and reinforced each other as they pushed the destructive power to a devastating level!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
Even Tang Li Xue herself was never expecting that the power of her random newly self-created technique would be so powerful to that level!
The violent explosion and rolling shockwave were throwing Li Xue off several meters upward until she crashed onto the corridor's ceiling.
Tang Li Xue rubbed her painful head with her paws, but her mood was quite pleasant when she saw two mutilated enormous tentacles in amazement.
'Who knows that my new [Flame Tiger Roaring Claws] would be so powerful?! But the energy and stamina consumption also increased by several times... It is clearly not a skill that I can spam continuously like [Fiery Bullets].' Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
Of course, Tang Li Xue also did not forget to keep sending her red arrow direction to her perfect copy with their mental connection even though she was currently facing the Kraken Fox.
The Kraken Fox's two mutilated enormous tentacles quickly grew back again and restored back to usual in only ten seconds or so!
Tang Li Xue's expression became solemn as that made her realize the true strength of predator-level foxes.
If the black-spotted white fox was an offense-type predator-level fox, and the spiky-furred orange fox was a speed-type predator-level fox.
Then this Kraken Fox was a defensive-type predator-level fox!
It has an elastic and extremely tough giant body. It also has much faster self-regeneration than Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue was quite sure that even the other two predator-level foxes would not be able to kill this monstrous Kraken Fox even if they teamed up to fight against it together.
The Kraken Fox immediately changed its strategy as it raised its other enormous tentacles and started to attack Tang Li Xue from all directions!
Tang Li Xue hastily contacted her perfect copy again: "Have you already found the treasure box yet?!"
"Not yet~! I saw it once just now, but it quickly fled away by entering the small hole in the wall again!" The perfect copy replied to Tang Li Xue.
"Can you please do it quicker?! Stalling time against Kraken Fox is not a joke! If I get completely exhausted before the time is almost up later, our plan would be ruined!" Tang Li Xue complained as she flapped the deep blue [Phoenix Wings] on her back to fly further from the Kraken Fox.
However, the enormous tentacles from other directions managed to catch up to Tang Li Xue!
Tang Li Xue swiftly used her [Moon Shattering Strike] against those enormous tentacles while trying to incorporate it with her Flame of Pride again.
Unfortunately, she failed this time since she felt [Moon Shattering Strike] was not compatible with her deep blue Flame of Pride.
BBBAAAAAANNGG~!!!
Tang Li Xue's small paw struck one of the enormous tentacles and pushed it away!
"Tsk~! It seems [Imperial Moon Dancer] Battle Style is not compatible with Flame of Pride, so they could not be incorporated." Tang Li Xue clicked her tongue while muttering her conclusion.
Then Tang Li Xue condensed several [Fiery Bullets] and shot them one by one continuously toward the approaching enormous tentacles!
BOOM~!!! BOOM~!!! BOOM~!!! BOOM~!!! BOOM~!!!
The [Fiery Bullets] exploded when it hit the enormous tentacles that surrounded Tang Li Xue!
But small explosions like that could not even leave any scar on the enormous tentacles. It could only slow their movement a bit.
"Uhhhh, there is a piece of bad news... You can try to check the [Mapping Sense]'s tracker." The perfect copy informed Tang Li Xue.
When Tang Li Xue checked her [Mapping Sense]'s tracker, she found out that the black-spotted white fox was approaching her perfect copy's location very quickly right now!
"Damn it! Where is that orange fox?! Did it already get defeated by that black-spotted white fox or something?!" Tang Li Xue groaned in annoyance.
"I do not know! But you should already know that I could not even last one minute against that black-spotted white fox before if that fox got the treasure box first, then there would be nothing I can do to snatch it back later." The perfect copy commented in frustration.
"All right, I understand! Let's adjust our plan a bit... There are still twenty minutes left before the time is up... We need to stall for twenty more minutes while keep tracking the treasure box's location... Looks like we have no choice other than trying to pit this Kraken Fox with that black-spotted white fox." Tang Li Xue pondered carefully her next plan.
"It is up to you! Just do something quickly before this black-spotted white fox can get the treasure box! So, what should I do right now?" The perfect copy asked for further instructions.
Meanwhile, the Kraken Fox's enormous tentacles already gotten used to Tang Li Xue's [Fiery Bullets], and they could already ignore the [Fiery Bullets], then kept approaching Tang Li Xue swiftly!
"What a terrifying adaptability! This Kraken Fox might be even more monstrous than I thought before!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in disbelief.
Tang Li Xue hastily used [Sun Dragon Flash] to avoid the enormous tentacles before they could wrap around her.
But suddenly, something the Kraken Fox did something completely unexpected!
PPUUUUUUUUUFFFFFF~!!!
Its huge head actually sprayed high-pressure water onto Tang Li Xue!
Tang Li Xue failed to react since she was too busy keeping on track of every enormous tentacle just now!
The high-pressure water hit Tang Li Xue and pushed her away toward the enormous tentacles instead!
The enormous tentacles swiftly wrapped around Tang Li Xue and squeezed her with the intention to crush her into a meat patty!
"Sh*t~! This is really bad! I truly did not expect that Kraken Fox can still use this kind of move! So, this is what it means by strong like a Kraken, but still cunning as a fox!" Tang Li Xue spoke as she gnashed her fangs in annoyance.
Tang Li Xue did not have any choice other than quickly using her life-saving equipment skill, [Shadow Flash]!
When Tang Li Xue used [Shadow Flash], her silver furry figure instantly teleported into the shadow on the left side of the corridor.
With that, Tang Li Xue managed to get out of the enormous tentacles' wrap, but her [Shadow Flash] entered ten minutes cooldown, so she could no longer use it again in the next ten minutes!
"All right, I also cannot hold on anymore! This Kraken Fox is getting more and more annoying! Let's just kiting this Kraken Fox to the treasure location and pit it against that black-spotted white fox right now!" Tang Li Xue decided while telling her next plan to her perfect copy.
