Chapter 1204: Finding Little Loki!
Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Finding Little Loki!
Fortunately, the young Region Head stopped attacking when he was about to reach the spot where Tang Li Xue was standing right now.
"Those damn rats! How could they run away right in front of me?! What bad luck!" The young Region Head complained unhappily before he flew back on his flying sword.
Tang Li Xue did not immediately move after the young Region Head was gone.
She patiently waited for a few more minutes with her topaz blue eyes closed tightly and held her breath.
"Phew~! That was a really close one!" Tang Li Xue panted nervously as she finally could not hold it in anymore.
Her Samadhi State and the perfect level of the [Art of Concealment] immediately book as soon as she relaxed her mind, but Tang Li Xue no longer cared about it.
She hastily used [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step], [Wind Burst Step], and [Void Shrinking Step] alternately to get away as quickly as possible from that place because there was no guarantee that the young Region Head would not return and check that area again.
After she ran several thousand miles away from the previous area, Tang Li Xue could finally sigh in relief and wipe the cold sweat on her forehead.
She went to the secluded place and entered a cave before she cancelled her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier], then she took out her mid-rank space pouch from her [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
Tang Li Xue threw Lu Xingchen out of her mid-rank space pouch.
"Junior Sister Li! I thought I would never see you again!" Lu Xingchen happily greeted Tang Li Xue.
"I have already warned you before that it would be very dangerous for you to follow me, but you would not listen. Do you regret it now?" Tang Li Xue smiled charmingly and said to Li Xingchen in a teasing tone.
Lu Xingchen chuckled and replied nonchalantly: "Even if I went back to the Xia Dynasty, I would also face many dangers. At least, there is a stunningly beautiful fox girl to soothe my heart after I face the danger."
Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes when she heard Lu Xingchen’s sweet talk.
"Don’t be too happy, I saved you because I need your help. One of my companions got caught by the Region Head, so I need your help to save her." Tang Li Xue spoke honestly to Lu Xingchen.
"Oh? Okay, no problem~! When will we make our move and save her?" Lu Xingchen replied without any hesitation.
Tang Li Xue smiled gently and nodded her head in admiration of Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen had just faced the young Region Head and knew how powerful the Region Head was, but he still agreed to help her without any hesitation.
But Tang Li Xue did not bother to ask or say anything about it to Lu Xingchen because she knew that Lu Xingchen would probably answer that he did it because he owed his life to her.
Tang Li Xue knew how good-looking and charming she was, and most men would be mesmerized and fall in love with her because of it, but there should be very few among them willing to go so far as to sacrifice their lives for her.
Others might call them brainless simps, but for Tang Li Xue, only this kind of man was worthy enough to be her travelling companion.
She had a lot of secrets after all, so she would not be at ease if she travelled with someone she could not even trust.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy should also have thought so.
That was the reason why Tang Li Xue tacitly let her perfect copy agree on Lu Xingchen traveling with them.
"No rush. We also need Little Loki’s help, so we need to find it first. When was the last time you saw Little Loki?" Tang Li Xue asked Lu Xingchen.
"Little Loki? Do you mean that little black kitten? The last time I saw it was right before the powerful Region Head came and chased after me. But I do not know where it is right now." Lu Xingchen replied honestly.
"Do not worry. That mischievous kitten is very greedy and restless, so it will definitely make its move again really soon. We only need to wait at the right time and place." Tang Li Xue explained to Lu Xingchen in a confident manner.
After discussing their next destination carefully, Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen decided to head to the nearest town’s warehouse area.
There were dozens of huge warehouses built in this warehouse area, which were used to store thousands of tons of mined raw precious jades and spirit stones.
Of course, it would not be easy to steal these mined raw precious jades and spirit stones from the dozens of huge warehouses because they were protected by the protective formation.
Unfortunately, this protective formation was completely useless in front of Little Loki.
Little Loki had already devoured all the mined raw precious jades and spirit stones from the previous mine town’s warehouse area easily, so it would definitely not stop and head to the next mine town’s warehouse area.
Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen guessed that the nearest warehouse area should be Little Loki’s next target.
Tang Li Xue took out several Advanced Jade Talismans and gave them to Lu Xingchen before she used [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] to turn herself invisible and undetectable.
Lu Xingchen also used an [Advanced Stealth Jade Talisman] to make himself invisible and undetectable.
Tang Li Xue created this [Advanced Stealth Jade Talisman] by combining the invisibility rune, aura-concealing runes, and the space isolation runes from the [Void Barrier].
The effect of this [Advanced Stealth Jade Talisman] should not be much worse than her [Ethereal Form] plus [Void Barrier].
There were many patrolling mine guards wandering around the entire island, so it was really easy for them to be spotted and caught if they did not use the stealth skills or talismans to avoid getting discovered by them.
That was also the reason why Xi’er and Lucia got surrounded and caught so easily before.
Well, if not for Tang Li Xue, who came on time to save Lucia and Yaya, the two of them would already have been caught like Xi’er.
"How is Xi’er’s condition right now? Is she being imprisoned or tortured?" Tang Li Xue asked her perfect copy, who still stayed inside the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s Wind Floor, to monitor the overall situation.
"Nope~! Xi’er is hiding inside the [Sword of Disaster] right now, but the [Sword of Disaster] is currently sealed in the depths of the Jade Tower and guarded personally by that pervert Region Head." Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy replied nonchalantly.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy hesitated for a while before she added: "That pervert Region Head is currently doing shady things to the [Sword of Disaster]. I have a really bad feeling about this, so you’d better take the [Sword of Disaster] back and save Xi’er as quickly as possible."
"Shady things? Okay, I get it. I know what to do." Tang Li Xue replied with a serious expression.
Without facing any enemies or any obstacles, it did not take long for Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen to reach the warehouse area.
"Uh, Junior Sister Li? Are you here?" Lu Xingchen canceled his stealth state and asked softly since he could not sense Tang Li Xue, who was hiding with [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier].
"Yes, I am here. We only need to wait patiently for that little naughty cat to make its move." Tang Li Xue replied to Lu Xingchen while also cancelling her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier].
Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen were hiding behind the large tree near the warehouse area, but they did not dare to approach the warehouse area carelessly, because they might trigger an alarm or any detection device.
Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen sat on the large tree’s branch, and Tang Li Xue even shared some sweet and delicious spirit fruits with Lu Xingchen to fill their stomach.
WEEEENG—!
After waiting for a few hours until the sky turned dark, the alarm in the warehouse area finally rang loudly!
"This greedy cat is really not afraid of choking itself to death! Let’s go, Young Master Lu!" Tang Li Xue said as she turned herself invisible with [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] before she headed closer to the warehouse area.
Lu Xingchen was disappointed when he heard Tang Li Xue call him Young Master Lu, not Senior Brother Xing, but he still used an [Advanced Stealth Jade Talisman] to turn himself invisible before he followed Tang Li Xue and also approached the warehouse area carefully.
"Go... Gone! Everything is gone!" The mine guards were shouting and thrown into panic.
"Impossible! How could so many precious jades and spirit stones disappear so quickly?!" Even the guard captains went limp in disbelief.
"Spread out quickly! Search all warehouses! Find the thief as soon as possible, or no one will be spared!" The mine supervisors shouted in anger.
The mine supervisors’ loud yell woke the panicking mine guards and guard captains, then they quickly spread out and looked for the thief.
Little Loki devoured all the raw precious jades and spirit stones from one warehouse to another like strolling in its own backyard.
Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen could only admire Little Loki’s audacity from afar.
The mine supervisors controlled the protective formations that covered the entire warehouse area, then they quickly tracked Little Loki and locked its location.
BOOOOOM—!
Several mine supervisors rushed toward Little Loki and immediately attacked it in anger!
