Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN)

chapter-611
Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], while Little Loki who sat on Tang Li Xue's head also used its stealth skill to turn invisible.
Tang Li Xue brought Little Loki and rushed to the nearest pillar of golden light with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].
Viewing the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers under the sunset made Tang Li Xue's mood become more peaceful and cheerful.
After all, she had already been haunted by the Crimson Skies Domain for several days, and it pushed her mind to the brink of exhaustion every time.
On her way, Tang Li Xue saw several other foxes, and after making sure that their eyes were normal without any sign of eerie crimson light, Tang Li Xue became even more at ease.'Something bad might happen to the owner of the Crimson Skies Domain right now so it was forced to abort its mind-controlling domain. But this is clearly a good thing for me. It would be even better if the Crimson Skies Domain never appeared again.' Tang Li Xue silently concluded in her heart.
She also noticed that more than three-fourths of foxes might have already been eliminated right now since the number seemed to be much lesser compared to before.
It did not take long for Tang Li Xue and Little Loki to reach the pillar of golden light in the foggy marsh area.
Tang Li Xue suddenly halted her step as she stared suspiciously at the foggy marsh area, and she instantly raised her vigilance to the maximum.
According to her previous experience, some predator-level foxes might have already waited for the other foxes to approach the pillar of golden light, and they would launch a sudden fatal attack before the other foxes could enter the pillar of golden light.
Tang Li Xue comforted Little Loki for a few moments before she put it into her system's pet space first, then she slowly entered the water in the marsh and swam toward the pillar of golden light.
Even though she was still in the [Ethereal Form], but the water formed ripples when she swam.Tang Li Xue could actually use her [Wings of Freedom] to fly directly to the pillar of golden light, but she did not want to use it yet since [Wings of Freedom] has a one-hour cooldown, and she might need it later in the treasure game.
Just when Tang Li Xue was only a few hundred meters away from the pillar of golden light...
BOOOOOOOOOOOMM~!
The calm marsh suddenly spun and formed a violent swirl that sucked Tang Li Xue into it!
"Damn it~! I knew this would happen~!" Tang Li Xue muttered while gnashing her fangs in annoyance.
Tang Li Xue hastily jumped out from the water and used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a few footholds in mid-air.
Tang Li Xue swiftly jumped from one foothold to another with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step]!
However, the hiding predator-level fox already acted faster, and it immediately created a water curtain to imprison Tang Li Xue, so she could not reach the pillar of golden light!
"Just using mere water to imprison me? Are you looking down on me that much?!" Tang Li Xue muttered as she activated her newly awakened divine ability, [Sharp Edge Power], and imbued it on her right claw.
Tang Li Xue's right claw was instantly wrapped in the transparent golden light!
[Moonlight Flash]~!
Tang Li Xue waved her right claw several times rapidly. Her right claw movement was too fast as if it suddenly vanished!
The water curtain in front of her was cut into pieces like a shattering mirror, and Tang Li Xue used this chance to jump into the pillar of golden light.
Tang Li Xue really wanted to beat up the sneaky predator-level fox who attacked her just now, but after pondering it carefully for a while, she decided not to waste her precious time on it since she could feel that the second phase of the Foxes Hunting Festival would start soon.
After the Foxes Hunting Festival entered the second phase, she might not be able to participate and win the treasure game as easily as now, so she must take the current chance to win as many treasure games as she can.
.....
When Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes again, she was already inside a dilapidated hut.
Tang Li Xue looked around and failed to find another fox other than her in this dilapidated hut.
Tang Li Xue did not think much about it. She waved her paw and released Little Loki again from her system's pet space.
"Meeooww~!" Little Loki meowed to express its displeasure.
Tang Li Xue chuckled when she saw how cute her Little Loki was and patted its tiny furry head to comfort it.
While playing around with Little Loki, Tang Li Xue glanced at the timer on the wooden door of the dilapidated hut.
[1056]...
[1055]...
[1054]...
"Around 18 minutes, huh... It seems I do not need to wait for long this time." Tang Li Xue murmured with a lazy tone.
Unfortunately, there was no tree bark here, or she could have made some more talismans before the treasure game started.
To be honest, Tang Li Xue had completely forgotten about making more talismans before since she was too busy thinking about her stats maximum limit, her newly awakened divine ability, the disappearing Crimson Skies Domain, and so on.
Moreover, she had also met with Lei Qian'er and Silly Fox on her way after that.
Tang Li Xue sighed in regret and complained: "I really should stock up more talismans later."
Although Tang Li Xue said so, she had actually already stocked up on more talismans before, but many of them were usually accidentally destroyed in the fierce battle.
It could not be helped since the talismans made from tree bark were fragile and easy to break, unlike paper talismans which could easily be folded and stored.
It did not take long for the waiting time to reach zero, and the wooden door of the dilapidated hut suddenly opened.
As the countdown timer reached zero, it changed into a string of words about the rules of the current treasure game as usual.
[Our Fox Race is known as the most beautiful beast race. So, the Human Race usually kidnaps our Fox Race and forces many of us to be their pets, or they even sell us as rare commodities.]
[Your task this time is to set free all the foxes from the hands of those humans.]
[There are ten kidnapped foxes in total. The participant who sets free the most kidnapped foxes from those humans will win this treasure game.]
[The Human Race is very cunning and treacherous. Never believe in them or your demise will definitely come sooner than you ever expect. Good luck, fox cubs~!]
Tang Li Xue frowned a bit and muttered softly: "This is... a rescue-type treasure game? It looks a bit troublesome..."
"Let's go, Little Loki~! Let's see the situation first~!" Tang Li Xue said to Little Loki while activating her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment].
Little Loki jumped onto Tang Li Xue's head and also turned itself invisible with its skill.
As she stepped out from the dilapidated hut, Tang Li Xue also realized that the theme of the treasure games had already shifted from the competition between the Fox Race to the mission-type against the Human Race.
Just like the previous interracial war and this rescue mission, all of them focused on dealing with the Human Race.
Tang Li Xue felt it found it extremely strange since their current strongest opponent should be the Undead Race, but why was their Fox Race, or rather maybe all Beast Race still focused on fighting against the Human Race?
"Maybe I should ask Instructor Lan about it later to clear my confusion." Tang Li Xue murmured as she dashed with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].
There was a dense forest outside the dilapidated hut.
The skies had already turned dark. Only the light of countless stars and the dim light of the moon that was illuminating the entire forest.
Many huge trees and dense bushes covered Tang Li Xue's vision, making it hard for her to determine how vast this forest was.
Just when Tang Li Xue almost got lost in this dense forest, Little Loki suddenly tapped at Tang Li Xue's head and pointed in a certain direction.
"Meow Meeew~!" (Head over there~!)
"That direction? So amazing, Little Loki~! So, you can sense those kidnapped foxes~!" Tang Li Xue delightedly praised Little Loki.
"Nya Nyaaan Meow~!" (No, I just smell something delicious from there.)
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched when she heard Little Loki's answer.
"So, you determine the direction like that? Are you sure we can find something there?" Tang Li Xue said in a doubtful tone.
Little Loki shrugged its shoulder and sent its thought to Tang Li Xue: 'It is not like we have any other choice since we do not even know how to get out of this forest.'
"Sigh... Yes, you are right. it seems we really have no other choice." Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation and headed toward the direction where Little Loki pointing at.
After running for more than half an hour, Tang Li Xue and Little Loki had actually reached a tall cliff.
From the tall cliff, both of them saw a huge city filled with humans only a few dozen miles away from their current location.
Tang Li Xue's mouth twitched again when she saw a huge city and complained: "Damn, I know this treasure game would not be that easy to win!"
