Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN) - Chapter 839 839: Underwater Palace!

Chapter 839 839: Underwater Palace!

After five minutes or so, Tang Li Xue’s group reached the huge space in the underwater cave.

In the middle of the huge space, there was actually a colorful luxurious palace guarded by many zombie mermen!

The colorful palace looked so beautiful and grand since every tile and brick seemed to be made from the best quality coral stones containing dense spiritual energy.

Living inside this colorful luxurious palace would not only increase cultivation speed tremendously but it would also extend the lifespan to a certain extent.

Currently, Tang Li Xue and her group were hiding behind a huge boulder while secretly peeking at the colorful luxurious palace from afar.

“Wow, that palace looks so cool~! Is that Underwater Dragon Palace?” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in awe.

Even the perfect copy stared at the colorful luxurious palace greedily and said in an excited tone: “Can we take that palace back home? I want to try to live in that palace like a real queen!”

Tang Li Xue immediately replied: “That is really a good idea. That palace is too big to put into our space pouch, but we can dismantle all the furniture, tiles, bricks, and roof first before we put it into our space pouch. We can just re-assemble it again after we return back home.”

“What a brilliant idea~! Just as I expected from my genius self!” The perfect copy praised Tang Li Xue in admiration.

Both Little Loki and Yaya silently rolled their eyes when they heard the conversation between Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy.

This was clearly not the right time for them to discuss how to rob… err, I mean how to bring home the luxurious underwater palace, right?!

Did you not see that there were so many zombie mermen guarding and patrolling around the luxurious palace?!

Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy stopped joking around and began to carefully count the number of zombie mermen.

Ten… Thirty…. Fifty…

One hundred… One hundred fifty… two hundred…

All right, that is enough…

Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy immediately decided to stop counting, or they might really lose their courage completely, decide to give up on the spot, and just want to run away as soon as possible from here in despair.

Yes, there were actually more than two hundred zombie mermen guarding and patrolling around the luxurious palace.

Most of them were low-level zombie mermen maybe there were more than one hundred of them.

The burly purple mermen and female green mermen numbered around fifty each.

To make it worse, there was still a new type of zombie merman which Tang Li Xue’s group had never seen so far numbered around ten or so.

Their bodies were covered in thick crimson carapace. They have crab-like claw hands, but they were walking with two feet like humans.

Each of them was also holding a thick and heavy bone trident in their grasp.

These crimson carapace mermen looked much more muscular, bigger, sturdier, and stronger than even the burly purple mermen.

Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy could faintly sense a dangerous aura from them even when they were still standing so far from those crimson carapace mermen.

If the strength of the low-level mermen was only around the Acupuncture Opening Stage or the Foundation Establishment Stage.

While the strength of the burly purple mermen and female green mermen were around the Core Formation Stage.

Then the strength of these crimson carapace mermen should be around Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, it was still unknown if there would be other stronger versions of mermen waiting inside that luxurious underwater palace.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy frowned deeply in worry while muttering: “What the heck is that? Crab generals or something? Don’t tell me that there would be Prime Minister Tortoise and Dragon Emperor inside that palace?”

“Well, maybe. But who cares about that, right?! It is not like we will have a seafood banquet later! We do not need to care if there would be fish, snakes, tortoises, or crabs. What we have to think about is how to enter that palace and take away the treasures inside it?!” Tang Li Xue emphasized their objective in a firm tone.

Tang Li Xue’s question immediately stumped her perfect copy, Yaya, and Little Loki.

Using [Ethereal Form] plus [Art of Concealment] to stealthy pass those mermen and sneak into the luxurious palace might work against most of those mermen, but if the crimson carapace mermen had the ability to sense their souls with divine sense, then their idea would be the same as committing suicide.

Tang Li Xue instantly rejected that idea on the spot.

Then she patted her perfect copy’s shoulder while grinning mischievously at her: “It seems I can only count on you again this time~!”

The perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes and groaned in complaint: “Aisss~! So, I still have to do the ‘Baiting’ Plan again in the end!”

Yes, Tang Li Xue still thought that their usual ‘Baiting’ Plan routine was still the best, safest, and most comfortable plan to do.

Just like before, her perfect copy would be acting as a distraction to attract those mermen’s attention, and when those mermen were busily chasing her perfect copy, their team would secretly sneak into the luxurious underwater palace to find the treasures.

There were many merits and almost no demerits in this plan.

First, Tang Li Xue could easily re-summon her perfect copy to her side if her perfect copy was thrown in danger later.

Second, if they met with any danger inside the underwater palace later, Tang Li Xue could store Yaya and Little Loki in her Dantian space, then she could use her [Swap] skill to exchange location with her perfect copy at any time to get out from the underwater palace.

Tang Li Xue did not want to hear her perfect copy annoying nag and complaint, so she quickly pushed her out from behind the boulder while saying in an encouraging tone: “Stop rambling and just go now, so we can get this done quickly!”

The perfect copy could only sigh helplessly at Tang Li Xue’s clone abusive behavior.

Unfortunately, there was no Clone Rights Bureau in this Immortal World, or Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy would have already reported her real self long ago.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not immediately charge forward blindly to attract the attention of all mermen.

She secretly observed the patrolling pattern of those mermen while resting to recover her energy.

She had already spent most of her energy in the previous battle after using [Sun Dragon Claws], [Sun Dragon Fangs], and [World-Destroying Lightning Dragon] along with her Sun Form Domain Prototype after all.

Tang Li Xue also understood that fact, and she no longer urged her perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue decided to take a rest with Little Loki and Yaya too.

She took some food, drinks, and beast cores, then began to eat along with Little Loki and Yaya.

The perfect copy’s pink lips twitched violently in aggravation when she knew what Tang Li Xue was doing right now, and she almost could not hold her urge to come back and scold Tang Li Xue harshly.

There was no difference between noon and night inside this underwater cave since it was only illuminated by colorful fluorescence substances on the ground, wall, and ceiling.

After resting for two hours or so, the condition of Little Loki, Yaya, Tang Li Xue, and her perfect copy had been adjusted back to their peak.Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏(.)com

Thus Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy started to make her move to act as bait and attract those mermen.

She patiently waited when most of the crimson carapace mermen gathered in one place before she rushed forward bravely while waving her slender hand…

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

The rumbling sound of thunder echoed inside the underwater cave when the deep purple lightning condensed into a majestic figure!

[World-Destroying Lightning Dragon]~!

Purple lightning and thunder intertwined with each other, and it condensed to form a dark purple lightning dragon!

The dark purple lightning dragon flashed toward several crimson carapace mermen in the blink of an eye!

BOOOOOOOMM~!

All of the nearby low-level mermen were blown to ashes in an instant, while the burly purple mermen and female green mermen were thrown dozens of meters as their bodies charred black.

However, the crimson carapace mermen acted so fast by blocking the dark purple lightning dragon’s attack with the heavy bone trident in their grasp.

Not to mention that their thick crimson carapace acted like spirit armor treasure to protect their bodies, so they were almost unscathed even after receiving the [World-Destroying Lightning Dragon]’s attack head-on!

Even though the perfect copy’s [World-Destroying Lightning Dragon] attack only managed to push them back for a few steps, but they were still very enraged by the perfect copy’s sudden attack which had wiped out more than a dozen of their comrades.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not wait for their brutal counterattack as she hastily activated her [Wind Burst Step] to run away from them!

So many vengeful mermen quickly chased after Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy without any hesitation!

Out of her expectations, the crimson carapace mermen could actually run so fast to chase after her from behind, even though their sideway running posture was really creepy to behold, but at least, the perfect copy’s task had been carried out perfectly so far.

Tang Li Xue took Little Loki and Yaya into the windy mountain area inside her Dantian Space before she activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible and undetectable.

The guards around the luxurious underwater palace were thinning a lot after the perfect copy lured most of them to chase after her, so Tang Li Xue could take this opportunity to sneak into the underwater palace easily.

But sneaking into the underwater palace was only the first step. Their next step was the most important part which was to find the treasure storage room as soon as possible!
