Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Two-Way Battlefield!
“Meow~!” Little Loki smugly suggested that it could just swallow the stone creatures with its [Heaven’s Devour].
“No way~! You just sit back and relax for now!” Tang Li Xue instantly rejected Little Loki’s reckless idea.
First, it should be impossible for Little Loki to swallow all the hundreds of stone creatures at once.
If Little Loki’s action ended up provoking the stone creatures further, and they called for more reinforcement instead, then their situation would only become even worse.
Second, there was Lu Xingchen near them, so Tang Li Xue did not want to let Little Loki show its [Heaven’s Devour] in front of others.
Of course, it would not be a big problem if they could kill Lu Xingchen later, but it might be unlikely for them to be able to do that easily, since someone with the protagonist template like Lu Xingchen was usually protected by luck.
Little Loki could only shrug in disappointment after Tang Li Xue told it to stay quiet obediently for now.
“It would be troublesome if they were getting closer to us since they can use their rock control to block our way and attack us. Yaya, blast the away with your wind!” Tang Li Xue instructed Yaya.
Yaya nodded solemnly and unleashed [Hurricane Barrier] plus [Tempest Prison] to temporarily block the stone creatures!
Yaya also did not dare to use a large-scale destructive skill like [Giant Cyclone Storm] because it might have made the entire cave collapse.
BOOOM—!
The hundreds of stone creatures crashed onto Yaya’s [Hurricane Barrier] plus [Tempest Prison]!
Unfortunately, it could only stop the hundreds of stone creatures for a few moments before they used their rock control power to forcefully break Yaya’s [Hurricane Barrier] plus [Tempest Prison]!
The hundreds of stone creatures roared angrier and chased after Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen even more crazily than before.
Right at this critical time, Tang Li Xue actually received the request for help from her perfect copy!
“This stupid clone, why the heck would she send an SOS signal at a critical moment like this?!” Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and complained in annoyance.
Then Tang Li Xue spotted Lu Xingchen, who was following right beside her leisurely without helping with anything, which made her even more unhappy.
“Hey, useless guy, can you at least help slow down those stone golems rather than just leeching me off again and again?” Tang Li Xue uttered to Lu Xingchen in an unhappy tone.
Lu Xingchen dropped his jaw and was stunned silly for a moment, then he looked around as if to make sure that Tang Li Xue had really talked to him just now before he pointed his finger at himself and asked: “Are you talking to me?”
Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied: “Do you see anyone else other than you here?”
“Use… Useless guy? Did you just call me a useless guy? You, you… What do you mean by me leeching you off again and again?!” Lu Xingchen questioned Tang Li Xue in a tone filled with disagreement.
“Last night, you survived by hitching my [Stellar Banishment], and now, you let me protect you from those stone golems while you just watch behind my back without doing anything to help! Tell me, are you a man or not?!” Tang Li Xue argued back in a sweet but smug voice.
Lu Xingchen gnashed his teeth in rage.
If it were other people who said that, Lu Xingchen would have already killed them all in anger.
But when Tang Li Xue said it, Lu Xingchen also felt really angry by her insulting words, but he also thought that Tang Li Xue looked very sassy and adorable at the same time.
“You damn flirtatious vixen, how dare you seduce me again?!” Lu Xingchen uttered coldly to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue: “?!”
Tang Li Xue was completely confused by Lu Xingchen’s words.
She clearly scolded Lu Xingchen very harshly, but how could Lu Xingchen say that she seduced him?!
’What the heck is wrong with this guy?! Don’t tell me that he is that… that… what is it called again? Masochist?’ Tang Li Xue stared at Lu Xingchen strangely with her pair of mesmerizing topaz blue eyes, which made Lu Xingchen think that she was trying to flirt with him again.
Tang Li Xue did not have time to think about it anymore since there were more than a dozen stone creatures that were rushing toward her from right in front of her!
But before Tang Li Xue could do anything, Lu Xingchen suddenly unsheathed his sword and slashed the group of stone creatures that was rushing toward them!
[Fish Net Slash]—!
CLANG—!
Countless sword lights flashed in the form of a fish net and chopped more than a dozen stone creatures into small pieces!
“Humph~! Look! I am not a useful guy, right?” Lu Xingchen asked in an arrogant tone to Tang Li Xue.
Before Lu Xingchen could feel smug for long, the stone creatures that had already been cut into small pieces began to assemble their bodies rapidly!
Little Loki quickly used [Instant Teleportation] to appear right above the stone creatures that were still trying to restore their bodies, which had been cut into small pieces.
Little Loki moved swiftly and took something from those assembled stone creatures before it teleported back to Tang Li Xue’s shoulder.
The stone creatures actually failed to assemble their chopped bodies after Little Loki took something from them, and their chopped bodies crumbled again into small pebbles.
Little Loki gave more than a dozen small shiny stones to Tang Li Xue.
“This is…” Tang Li Xue took the small shiny stones from Little Loki and examined them carefully.
“Uhh, I hate to ruin your fun in looking shiny gem stones, but there are still many other stone creatures behind us.” Lu Xingchen reminded Tang Li Xue while kept running without stopping.
Tang Li Xue stored the shiny stones that Little Loki retrieved from the stone creatures into her space pouch before she continued to sprint with [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] plus [Wind Burst Step].
Tang Li Xue no longer had any mood to quarrel with Lu Xingchen because her mind was completely occupied by the shiny gemstones that Little Loki obtained from the stone creatures.
Lu Xingchen failed to notice anything special about the shiny gemstones because he did not comprehend the Profound Law of Earth.
But Tang Li Xue had comprehended the Profound Law of Earth to a small extent by using her regalia skill, [Celestial Dream], to absorb the memories from her opponents.
She sensed that the comprehension of her Profound Law of Earth would improve if she consumed the shiny gemstones!
’I see, so the function of the shiny gemstones is actually the same as the strange crystal at the volcano, where [Three-Headed Magma Eater] reside.’ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
In that instant, Tang Li Xue’s annoyance at the stone creatures completely disappeared.
In Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes, the stone creatures quickly turned from unpleasant, troublesome creatures to treasure-giving creatures!
Tang Li Xue’s mind began to calculate and think fast about how to defeat those hundreds of stone creatures and safely harvest the shiny gemstones inside their bodies.
Even though Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki were more than capable of defeating those hundreds of stone creatures, but they were actually inside the stone creatures’ turf after all.
The stone creatures had the power to control rocks, while this cave was literally made from rocks from the ceiling, walls, and even the floor.
Who knew if those stone creatures would suddenly lose their mind if Tang Li Xue and her team killed so many of them in order to harvest the shiny gemstones from them, then they decided to do a suicidal move to bury all of them inside this cave forever?!
Then Tang Li Xue’s sight fell on Lu Xingchen.
To be honest, Lu Xingchen’s precise and destructive sword skills were the most suitable to be used in this kind of environment.
Just when Tang Li Xue was still thinking about how to persuade Lu Xingchen to fight against those stone creatures, while she would be the one who would harvest their shiny gemstones, her perfect copy sent another message asking for help.
’You are so damn annoying! Okay, fine! I will help you now!’ Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth in annoyance.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Swap] skill to switch location with her perfect copy!
“Holy crap—! What the heck are you all doing to provoke so many of these undead monsters?!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise when she saw the sea of skeletons chasing after her, Lucia, and Xi’er.
“We do nothing! These beast skeletons should be attracted by the aura of living things, so they kept chasing after Lucia and your clone.” Xi’er explained to Tang Li Xue.
“Okay, I get it. Now, what? Should I bring you two away from here?” Tang Li Xue asked in a hurried tone.
“No, we still want to harvest the crystallization of death energy and soul inside their skulls! Can you give us more people so we can defeat them more easily?” Xi’er replied to Tang Li Xue in a pleading tone.
“Okay, I understand.” Tang Li Xue muttered as she switched places with her perfect copy again.
“Yaya, go help Xi’er and Lucia first. They need your help more.” Tang Li Xue said to Yaya.
Yaya nodded with a solemn expression and patted her flat chest as if she was saying: “Don’t worry. Leave it to me!”
Tang Li Xue temporarily stored Yaya in her System’s pet space before she used the [Swap] skill to switch location with her perfect copy for the third time.
Then Tang Li Xue let Yaya out of her System’s pet space.
Tang Li Xue also summoned out [Imperial Frost Wyrm] from the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]!
Yaya, [Imperial Frost Wyrm], Xi’er, Lucia, and her perfect copy should be more than enough to handle this horde of living beast skeletons!
