635 Chapter 635: Second Phase: Vassal Battle Start~!
[Host, how could you give up just like that without trying?! The path of all Immortal Cultivators is always defying against the heavens and fates. So, you should defy your fate and defeat all of those foxes too!]
Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and thought: 'You really think that I am a protagonist in the movie or novel, huh?!'
Just thinking about going against Meng Yue with her heaven-defying [Aurora Creation Domain] already enough to make Tang Li Xue lose all of her motivation to complete that quest.
Tang Li Xue quickly put on a miserable expression and begged: "But I am not Immortal Cultivators, I am only a small fox... Umm, can I just cancel that quest right now?"
Unfortunately, the System no longer gave any response to the shameless Tang Li Xue after that.
"Tsk~! Cheapskate System~!" Tang Li Xue clicked her tongue and complained displeasedly.
After traveling for a few hours with Yaya and Little Loki, Tang Li Xue realized many differences in this second phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival.
She was already aware that the entire Treasure Island had split into many smaller floating islands, and apparently, there would be only one pillar of golden light in each floating island.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and muttered in confusion: "So if we entered the pillar of golden light in one of the floating islands and won the treasure game inside it, only one pillar of golden light would spawn in that floating island again later?"
Tang Li Xue said with a grim tone: "I see... So, this is the second phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival. The vassals of those Apex Predator-level Foxes would guard each floating island, and they would participate again and again in the treasure game to harvest the rewards, then they would offer half of them to their master."
Yes, this was the Second Phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival, the Vassal Battle.
But Tang Li Xue was still confused about many things...
There should be many other foxes who still had no vassal mark like her, right?
What would happen if the other foxes without vassal marks like her eliminated the vassals of those Apex Predator-level Foxes?
Would those Apex Predator-level Foxes get pissed off and take revenge for their eliminated vassals?
Tang Li Xue shuddered in horror when she thought that she must face the Apex Predator-level Foxes like Meng Yue and Lei Qian'er.
"Well, it should not be, right?" Tang Li Xue muttered in hesitation.
Then she recalled her current quest from System...
At that time, she was very sure that she only thought to trigger the quest about surviving the second phase of this Foxes Hunting Festival, but her System gave that impossible-to-complete quest instead.
From that fact and Lei Qian'er's words when Tang Li Xue obtained Meng Yue's vassal mark, Tang Li Xue managed to deduce the hidden rule between Apex Predator-level Foxes.
challenging the authority of the other Apex Predator-level foxes or the master of those foxes.
15:41
All the foxes without vassal marks meant that they did not have any protection, and any Apex Predator-level foxes could actually kill all of them without any consequence.
It would be different if they had the vassal mark, killing them meant that Apex Predator-level fox challenging the authority of the other Apex Predator-level foxes or the master of those foxes.
So, the vassal could only be solved by another vassal, thus this second phase was called the vassal battle!
Now, Tang Li Xue understood what Lei Qian'er meant by saying she was really lucky to have Meng Yue's vassal mark before...
If Tang Li Xue still has Meng Yue's vassal mark, which Apex Predator-level foxes would dare to touch her~!
Tang Li Xue could only sigh in regret right now.
"I really should take back Meng Yue's vassal mark from Bingbing's sister before... Unfortunately, it is already far too late to regret it now~!" Tang Li Xue murmured in heartache.
Tang Li Xue jumped into the tree hole and urged Yaya and Little Loki to take a rest for a while.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue herself started to think carefully about her next plan.
'Maybe I should just ask for another vassal mark from Lei Qian'er? If I did it, she should happily give it to me, right?' Tang Li Xue thought.
But she quickly denied it, she had already met with Lei Qian'er again before, and she even told Lei Qian'er about the reason she lost Meng Yue's vassal mark.
At that time, Lei Qian'er could just offer to give her vassal mark to Tang Li Xue, but she did not do it.
Why?
Tang Li Xue immediately concluded that every fox might only be able to receive the vassal mark once.
Of course, this was only Tang Li Xue's speculation since she still did not have any concrete evidence, but the truth might not be too far from that.
Since she could no longer receive another vassal mark, it meant she could only depend on herself to survive in this Foxes Hunting Festival!
So, it actually made sense that her System suddenly gave such an outrageous quest to her since she could no longer have another vassal mark, she would certainly clash against any Apex Predator Foxes sooner or later!
Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in frustration.
"It seems I have no other choice... I actually want to wait for a bit longer until I reach my maximum level, level 40, before I evolve into [Rare] grade beast. But if I want to survive this Foxes Hunting Festival to the end, I must evolve right here right now~!" Tang Li Xue said with a resolute tone.
"Yaya, Little Loki, listen to me~! I would evolve to Beast Lord right now. So, I hope you two can help to guard me in the evolution process, okay?" Tang Li Xue asked Little Loki and Yaya with an extremely solemn tone.
The lazy expression on Yaya and Little Loki's faces completely disappeared, and they patted their chest with confident expressions as if both of them saying that she could reassuringly leave it to them.
Tang Li Xue caressed Little Loki and Yaya's tiny heads gently while saying with a gentle smile on her Tang Li Xue already pondered carefully all this time, and she had already decided to choose [Imperial 15:42
Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox].
furry face: "All right, I am counting on you two this time~!"
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and opened her evolution list window on her system.
Tang Li Xue already pondered carefully all this time, and she had already decided to choose [Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox].
The reason was because taking the other evolution paths felt more like gambling, while this [Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox] was surely the upgraded version of her current form.
"Okay, I choose you, [Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox]~! Let me evolve to [Rare] grade beast now~!" Tang Li Xue shouted passionately as she tapped the [Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox] option on the evolution list with her paw!
And then...
Tang Li Xue: "....."
Little Loki: "....."
Yaya: "...."
After waiting for a few moments...
Well, nothing happened at all.
Tang Li Xue blushed in embarrassment when she saw the next message from her system.
--------------------------------------------------
[Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox]
[Req: Strength, Agility, Toughness, and Spirit stats above 2000 points, Seven-colored Stars Flower, have at least one star-related divine ability, consuming precious treasures that contain star energies until the star energies stored in the body reach more than 999.]
--------------------------------------------------
Tang Li Xue really forgot that there would be harsh requirements to fulfill every time she wanted to evolve to a higher grade.
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched violently when she read the requirement to evolve into [Imperial Sun, Moon, and Stars Fox].
The requirement to have Strength, Agility, Toughness, and Spirit stats above 2,000 points had already been fulfilled since all of her stats were already above 3,500 right now, but the other three requirements were extremely hard to fulfill.
"Where the hell could I find Seven Colored Stars Flower and precious treasures containing star energies?! Must have at least one star-related divine ability is even more outrageous~! What the heck must I do to awaken star-related divine ability?!" Tang Li Xue complained displeasingly.
When Tang Li Xue turned around, she found out that both Little Loki and Yaya stared at her strangely.
Both Little Loki and Yaya clearly thought that Tang Li Xue really had a mental illness right now.
Tang Li Xue quickly explained while stuttering in embarrassment: "That... It is actually a misunderstanding~! Ahahaha... Cough, well... It looks like my feeling is wrong after all... My time to evolve has not come yet."
Little Loki and Yaya puffed their cheek and angrily ignored Tang Li Xue in unison.
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched a bit while she thought: 'Aren't these two not getting along well?! Why are they surprisingly in synergy right now?!'
Tang Li Xue spent a lot of effort to coax Yaya and Little Loki on the way before they acted as usual to her.
After the sun had set, and the sky turned dark, Tang Li Xue finally found the pillar of golden light on the floating island where she was currently located.
Tang Li Xue warned Yaya and Little Loki to raise their vigilance to the maximum as they slowly approached the pillar of golden light.
From her previous experience, there should be one or two predator-level foxes hiding near the pillar of golden light, and they would ambush any other foxes who came to approach it.
Just when the three of them almost reached the pillar of golden light...
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
Their surrounding instantly turned completely dark as the three of them were trapped inside something!
"I knew this would happen~!" Tang Li Xue muttered as she gnashed her fangs.
Another ambush is coming~! Could Tang Li Xue survive and win another treasure game? Let's see it in the next chapter!
