Tang Li Xue gritted her fangs as she used her best effort to get away further from the supernova explosion's radius, but the reverse gravitation effect that sucked her was growing stronger and stronger!
"Guwooooooahhh~! Come on~!" Tang Li Xue shouted out loud as her [Extrasensory Perception] gave her an even more intense extreme danger warning.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue's best effort was futile since the supernova destruction waves already caught up to her from behind!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The space at the center of the supernova explosion already began to crumble, and it spread around extremely quickly!
But before the crumbling space could reach Tang Li Xue, her three tails had already started to disintegrate to nothingness when the supernova destruction waves touched them!
"Damn it~! I am so close~! I am not willing..." Tang Li Xue shouted in anger and extreme pain of losing all her tails.
Right at that time, Tang Li Xue's furry figure suddenly disappeared from the treasure game space before her entire body could completely be disintegrated into nothingness!
*Ding!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for you! (0/3)]
.....
...
.
When Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes again, she found out that she was no longer in the crumbling treasure game space anymore.
"This is... Cough, cough, cough... So, I... I managed to come back here alive?!" Tang Li Xue murmured in disbelief while coughing several mouthfuls of blood from her mouth.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and laughed as she was freed from the extreme tension of life-threatening danger.
Then Tang Li Xue hissed and winced in pain from her back.
When she glanced at her tailless butt, she instantly cried out loud in misery: "MY TAILS~?! WHERE ARE ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL TAILS?!"
She sobbed in grief for a few moments but quickly realized that this was not the right time for her to do this since the [War Goddess Mode]'s violent backlash would strike her soon.
She hastily took the treasure box in front of her and quickly flew away from there while activating her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn invisible and undetectable.
After flying swiftly until she got further away from the valley under the mountain, Tang Li Xue activated her [Spider Scorpion Transformation] and dug the deep underground tunnel as her temporary hideout.
After making sure that her surrounding was completely safe with her [Extrasensory Perception], Tang Li Xue did not immediately cancel her [War Goddess Mode], but she took out the unconscious Little Loki from her system's space.
Tang Li Xue felt relieved when she saw all of the wounds on Little Loki's tiny body had already completely recovered.
Then she opened the treasure box to look at what kind of treasure she got from winning the third treasure game.
There was actually a round transparent crystal-like fruit stored inside the treasure box.
Just sniffing the fragrant sweet smell emitted by the round crystal fruit was more than enough to make Tang Li Xue's droll dripping continuously like a leaking faucet.
"Holy moly... what kind of fruit is this?! I can tell that it must be extremely delicious just from its sweet fragrance!" Tang Li Xue murmured as she kept staring greedily at the round crystal fruit.
Tang Li Xue quickly shook her head to clear her mind and said with a resolute tone: "No, no, no... This fruit is for Little Loki! Little Loki must be already very hungry right now, and only this fruit can relieve its hunger!"
"But maybe... Gulp~! Maybe I can taste it first to look if this fruit is poisonous or not before giving it to Little Loki... Just one bite... it should be okay, right?!" Tang Li Xue gulped her saliva and muttered as her resolute will began to falter again.
After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue finally gritted her fangs and quickly stuffed the round crystal fruit into Little Loki's mouth before she was completely tempted to take a bite from it!
Fortunately, Little Loki was a pure-blooded Taotie, if it was a normal black little kitten, it should be already choked to dead by the round crystal fruit right now.
Tang Li Xue sighed again in resignation as she canceled her [War Goddess Mode].
Tang Li Xue, Phoenix of Pride, and Yaya instantly fell asleep in extreme exhaustion.
At the same time, the violent backlash from the [War Goddess Mode] also started to strike the three of them.
As usual, the Phoenix of Pride was the most unaffected by it since it has [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] to nourish itself, so it could recover the fastest among them.
Yaya also felt pain from the violent backlash, but it was much lighter compared to Tang Li Xue.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue did not only suffer unimaginable tearing pain all over her body but even her breath was getting weaker and weaker.
Luckily, she still has an unused trump card to save herself right at this moment...
*Ding!
[System detected Host's current condition is critical!]
[Automatically activated (Quick Restore) divine ability to recover Host's condition back to normal!]
Tang Li Xue's breath quickly became stronger and stronger again.
It only took a few seconds for her breath to return to normal.
Even her three disintegrated tails had begun to grow again at an extremely fast speed.
After dozen seconds, Tang Li Xue's condition had already returned to normal, all of her wounds were completely recovered, and her three disintegrated tails had also completely restored back to usual.
It could be said her [Quick Restore] was a truly overpowered divine recovery ability, except that it could not recover her energy and fatigue.
Fortunately for Tang Li Xue and her team, there was no fox who found them like the previous brown mole fox this time.
If not, their situation might become worst since the three of them were sleeping so deeply right now.
After sleeping for a few hours, Tang Li Xue slowly woke up from her deep sleep.
Tang Li Xue's silver furry body shuddered as she began to feel the tearing pain spreading on her entire body.
Even though she was already recovered because of her [Quick Restore], but the pain would still linger on her body for a while.
"Hiss~! Ouch~! Ouch~! Ouch~! So painful~! Sigh... I really hate this [War Goddess Mode]'s backlash so much~!" Tang Li Xue complained while hissing and wincing in pain.
The deflated Tang Li Xue did not even bother to move her painful body, but her mind started to carefully review the previous mistakes she made in the third game.
Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue managed to find out several of their shortcomings in the previous third game.
The first shortcoming was about her [Ethereal Form]...
Previously, Tang Li Xue thought that she could avoid any physical attack and earth attack when she was still in [Ethereal Form], but it was actually a big mistake!
She was overestimating the [Ethereal Form] while underestimating the power of other people... or the other foxes too much...
The normal physical attack and normal earth attack might not work against [Ethereal Form], but it would be a different story if they were imbued by the elemental power!
A clear example was the stone-armored fox's [Mother Earth's Gift]. She could not use her [Ethereal Form] to avoid any attacks from [Mother Earth's Gift] before.
Even for the physical attack, as long as they were imbued by the elemental power, they could still hit her in [Ethereal Form].
The second shortcoming was about Little Loki...
Honestly, Tang Li Xue always thought Little Loki was extremely powerful and could even fight toe-to-toe against the spirit beast in Inheritance Ground Tablet before.
But she failed to realize that Little Loki's power was actually 90% lies in its [Heaven's Devour]!
Little Loki's usual combo was using its [Instant Teleportation] to instantly approach the enemies, perform [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] to lock their movement, then lastly use [Heaven's Devour] to swallow all of its enemies.
Even if the enemies attacked Little Loki, it could swallow all of their attack with [Heaven's Devour].
Moreover, Little Loki also depends on its [Heaven's Devour] to quickly recover its energy and stamina!
From this, it could be seen that Little Loki's defense, offense, and recovery ability were mostly dependent on its [Heaven's Devour].
However, Tang Li Xue naively asked Little Loki to fight for her, but prohibit it from using [Heaven's Devour] before!
This was clearly a huge mistake since Little Loki's strength would be discounted by 90% without its [Heaven's Devour]!
Tang Li Xue sighed as she felt guilty for Little Loki.
Since she asked Little Loki to not use [Heaven's Devour] here, then she should not send Little Loki to fight at all.
'I should apologize to Little Loki later. Asking Little Loki to fight without [Heaven's Devour] might be the worse choice than asking a boxer to fight without using his hands. I should never ask Little Loki to fight again from now on. At least, not in this Foxes Hunting Festival...' Tang Li Xue decided in her heart.
The last shortcoming was her newly created skill...
"What an extremely powerful skill~! To think I am the one who created it... Uwehehehehe~! Well... Even though, it was only accidental..." Tang Li Xue grinned proudly.
"Umm... It is inappropriate to call it the failed [Spiral Sphere Bomb]... I should rename it to something even more powerful!" Tang Li Xue muttered as she thought deeply.
"Spirit Bomb? No, no, no... It sounds too familiar like I plagiarize it from that anime..."
"Miniature Sun Bomb? Nope, it is too cliche!"
"Deep Blue Bomb? Meh~! No way! My Flame of Pride color is always deep blue!"
After thinking hard for a few minutes, Tang Li Xue finally decided on the name of her new skill: "All right, let's just call it, [Supernova Explosion Bomb]!"
Tang Li Xue tried to recall back how could she created the [Supernova Explosion Bomb] previously...
After comparing it carefully with the moment when she used the [Purple Destruction Wave] in Inheritance Ground Tablet before, Tang Li Xue finally managed to deduce the rough formula of [Supernova Explosion Bomb] and [Purple Destruction Wave].
In short, it should be like this...
Spin/rotation > Compression = [Supernova Explosion Bomb]
Spin/rotation < Compression = [Purple Destruction Wave]
Of course, these were only the rough formula, and she needed to find the best ratio carefully later.
It might need many experiments... and Tang Li Xue needs to go through a lot of trial and error just so she could use [Supernova Explosion Bomb] and [Purple Destruction Wave] proficiently.
But she clearly could not do it in this Foxes Hunting Festival, so she could only postpone it for later.
"Sigh... But both [Supernova Explosion Bomb] and [Purple Destruction Wave] are too dangerous to use. I do not think that I can train in using them safely anywhere later." Tang Li Xue said in frustration.
"One tiny mistake and I would certainly evaporate to nothingness in an instant. Just like in the previous third treasure game, if I did not get teleported out because I already win the game, my entire body might be already evaporated to nothingness by now." Tang Li Xue murmured as her furry figure shuddered in horror.
