Chapter 541: Got Ambushed Again!
Tang Li Xue was a bit disappointed at the [Talisman of Giant Strength] without any additional stat, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took another tree bark and began to make another talisman nonstop until the morning sun was rising.
"Fuuuhh~! Around one success in ten tries... It seems my talisman-making skill has degraded a bit... I need to practice more, and I also need to learn more from Teacher Li Wei after this Foxes Hunting Festival is over." Tang Li Xue muttered to herself.
After working for more than five hours, Tang Li Xue managed to create tens of different types of talismans.
But the result was still far from her expectation since only a few of them has additional plus stat, and almost all of those were [Talisman of Regeneration].
Maybe it was because she has [High-Speed Regeneration] skill, so the difficulty of making [Talisman of Regeneration] was much lower for her compared to the other types of talisman.
Tang Li Xue canceled her [Transfiguration] and turned back from her human form to her fox form again.
"All right, I am armed to the teeth right now~! It is time for us to enter the third treasure game~! So, you all need to wake up, little cuties~! It is already morning now, and we still have a job to do~!" Tang Li Xue said as she woke up the sleeping Little Loki and Yaya.
The funny thing was, Yaya and Little Loki actually slept while cuddling each other peacefully, while they were always squabbling when they were awake.
Yaya and Little Loki slowly woke up while yawning widely.
Both of them lazily stretched their body together.
After their brain started working again, both of them quickly jumped back and distanced themselves from each other.
"Ya yaaayayaa~?!" (Why are you sleeping so close to me?!)
"Mew~?! Nyaw mew?! Nyaw mew meow~!" (Excuse mew?! Do you have any shame?! You are the one who hugs mew first~!)
Then they began to squabble with each other again as usual.
Tang Li Xue could only put her paw on her head in a facepalm pose with a helpless expression.
Tang Li Xue let them fuss with each other for a while so they would not be sleepy anymore, while she decided to find some vines first.
Using those vines, Tang Li Xue tied all of the talismans she already made on her neck and waist.
After that, Tang Li Xue ran back to the tree hole, but she found out that Little Loki and Yaya were still busily squabbling with each other.
Thankfully, they stopped quarreling under Tang Li Xue's persuasion... or rather... threat might be more appropriate, and they finally could continue their trip in a peaceful manner.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], while Yaya and Little Loki were using their own skill to turn invisible too.
There were several pillars of golden light near Tang Li Xue's location.
After pondering it carefully for a few minutes, Tang Li Xue decided to head toward the pillar of golden light on the top of a nearby mountain.
On her way, Tang Li Xue met with several other foxes that fought fiercely against each other.
Tang Li Xue sighed in annoyance and took a bit of detour from their battlefield, since she did not want to have another accident again, just like when she accidentally got hit by the two giant foxes fought against each other before.
Tang Li Xue silently complained in her heart: "Sigh... Why do they need to fight each other at every turn?! Isn't it better if they just ignore each other and only fight in the treasure game instead?"
However, Tang Li Xue's understanding of the treasure game was still too limited since she only participated in two treasure games until now.
But sooner or later, she would definitely learn the reason why the other foxes wanted to finish their opponents first before participating in the treasure game.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue's luck was not that good this time.
Because when she almost reached the pillar of golden light on the top of the mountain, it suddenly disappeared.
Tang Li Xue could only gnash her fangs in frustration.
But she could guess that the reason for the pillar of golden light's disappearance was because the treasure game had already started.
Tang Li Xue lamented for a while...
Because she was extremely careful on her way, she wasted more than two hours to reach here.
Surprisingly, Little Loki and Yaya were quite united this time when they tried to comfort Tang Li Xue.
When Tang Li Xue got rid of her frustration and determined her next destination, Little Loki and Yaya sat again on her head and back.
Tang Li Xue decided to use stop saving her energy and used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] right now as she was heading swiftly to the other pillar of golden light in the valley under the mountain.
Tang Li Xue could actually fly much faster using [Lightning Form], but both Yaya and Little Loki would not be able to sit on her head and back like this, or they might get electrocuted by the silver lightning on her [Lightning Form].

As for why Yaya and Little Loki could still sit on her back when she was still in [Ethereal Form], Tang Li Xue also did not know very clearly, but she guessed that it was because Yaya and Little Loki were her companion pets.
Just like her clothes, spatial ring, and space pouch, Yaya and Little Loki might be also counted as her 'property', so they could still touch her when she was in her [Ethereal Form].
Anyway, Tang Li Xue did not have any time to care about that right now because she was still busily rushing toward the valley under the mountain.
The green valley was extremely beautiful with colorful flowers and trees, but just as Tang Li Xue admired the amazing scenery around her...
BOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
The grassy ground under her feet suddenly shook violently!
"Damn, I knew it would not be that easy~!" Tang Li Xue grumbled as she kept running swiftly with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] without any intention to stop.
Learning from her previous lesson, Tang Li Xue already expected there might be some foxes that would ambush her when she almost reached the pillar of golden light, just like the previous Kraken Fox.
As for her first treasure game, she did not get ambushed because the treasure game had almost started at that time.
Tang Li Xue remembered that she arrived around 200 seconds before the first treasure game started or around 3,5 minutes...
Little Loki and Yaya already stared at each other vigilantly while they were already putting their battle stance.
It was as if they were afraid that their prey would be taken by the other, and they did not have any chance to show their strength improvement to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue quickly warned the two of them by saying through their mental connection: "Calm down, you two little guys~! You two will have a lot of chances to show your power later in the treasure game, but definitely not now~!"
"And you, Little Loki... Be sure to never use your devouring power here! This is a special place and might be supervised by an extremely powerful elder fox, so I do not want it to guess your true identity from your devouring power! Do you understand clearly?!" Tang Li Xue warned with a very stern tone.
Little Loki rolled its eyes while thinking: "You only warned me now, really?! It is almost too late, okay?! If I devoured that brown mole fox before when you two were still sleeping, I would have already gotten discovered by now!"
But Little Loki still obediently nodded its tiny furry head at Tang Li Xue to show that it understood.
BAAAAAAAANNNGGG~!!!
A thick earth wall had suddenly grown from the ground and blocking on Tang Li Xue's way!
Tang Li Xue could only halt her step since she could sense that this thick earth wall was imbued by earth energy, so Tang Li Xue could not pass through them using [Etheream Form].
Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] could also sense that something dangerous was coming toward her from the ground under her feet.
"Little Loki, Yaya~! I will put you two into my space first! Just be good and bear with it for a while, I will certainly let you out again after I enter the treasure game later, okay?" Tang Li Xue explained while using her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to swiftly dodge in a zigzag pattern toward the right and left sides.
BAAAAAAAANNNGGG~!!!
Several thick and sharp earth spikes stabbed out from where Tang Li Xue stood just now!
If her [Extrasensory Perception] failed to sense them, Tang Li Xue might be stabbed by those earth spikes like a raw barbeque right now!
But it did not mean that Tang Li Xue's crisis was over!
Just when Tang Li Xue quickly put away both Yaya and Little Loki into her system's pet space, a giant stone hand appeared right below Tang Li Xue's feet, then it intended to grab and crush Tang Li Xue in one grasp!
[Lightning Form] activated!
In that instant, Tang Li Xue's furry silver figure transformed into a streak of silver lightning!
The streak of silver lightning flashed extremely quickly toward the pillar of golden light, and it vanished as it entered the pillar of golden light!
Even the earth-controlling fox that stood near the pillar of golden light did not have any chance to react at all.
