Chapter 548: Mutual Deception!
Chapter 548: Mutual Deception!
After flying for more than fifteen minutes, Tang Li Xue finally managed to get out of the collapsed mirror maze’s range.
On her way, Tang Li Xue estimated that the mirror maze might collapse for more than two hundred miles because of the stone-armored fox’s divine ability.
‘That was a truly dangerous move! But it must be also pretty exhausting for that stone-armored fox to use that move. If not, that stone-armored fox might already demolish this entire mirror maze to kill the Doppelganger and us!’ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
Tang Li Xue hastily landed back on the mirror floor after she made sure that the surrounding was safe, and she quickly checked Yaya’s condition.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief when she found that Yaya was all right and only fell asleep because of exhaustion, but she still decided to use one of her [Talisman of Regeneration] to heal Yaya’s wounds.
Tang Li Xue patted Little Loki’s tiny head gently and praised it: “Good job, Little Loki~! That last one is really an awesome move!”

Little Loki closed its eyes in comfort while enjoying Tang Li Xue’s gentle rub.
“Sigh… Little Loki, I really appreciate that you take my warning to heart. But you should still use your true ability when you are in extreme danger like before!” Tang Li Xue scolded Little Loki, but her tone was light since she also blamed herself for putting Little Loki and Yaya in a dangerous situation.
Tang Li Xue thought that she could certainly prevent that situation from happening if she was more attentive at that time.
“All right, let’s stop thinking about what had already happened before… The most important thing for us to do right now is to find a way to kill that Doppelganger!” Tang Li Xue murmured in a serious tone.
If they were outside, Little Loki’s [Heaven’s Devour] could certainly devour and kill any kind of unkillable opponent.
No matter what kind of immortal, ghost, demon, or god, once they got swallowed by Taotie, then it was over.
But they certainly could not do that in this Foxes Hunting Festival!
“Damn it~! The easiest way is to lure that Doppelganger to imitate another fox instead!” Tang Li Xue groaned in frustration.
However, Tang Li Xue doubted that the Doppelganger would change into another fox after it found out about Tang Li Xue’s life-saving cards.
“All right… For now, I need to try to copy another divine ability to replace [Lightning Form]… I hope the Doppelganger’s [Lightning Form] will also disappear later.” Tang Li Xue muttered as she put the sleeping Yaya into her system’s space.
Little Loki also quickly jumped onto Tang Li Xue’s back before Tang Li Xue dashed away with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].
In the previous battle, Tang Li Xue faced a lot of trouble when she fought against the Doppelganger and its perfect copy in [Lightning Form].
After pondering carefully, Tang Li Xue was quite sure that she could defeat the Doppelganger if it did not have [Lightning Form]!
While Little Loki should also have no problem dealing with the Doppelganger’s perfect copy if it also did not have [Lightning Form]!
But if her plan backfired and the Doppelganger still has [Lightning Form] while she already replaced her [Lightning Form]… At that time, Tang Li Xue thought that she might have no other choice than to unleash her last hidden trump card, the [Regalia of Eclipse]!
Tang Li Xue ran around for more than an hour in this confusing mirror maze, but she still failed to find any trace of the other fox or the Doppelganger.
Nyaoooww~! (So Huunggryy~!)
Tang Li Xue halted her step when she heard Little Loki’s voice.
“Oh, right~! I completely forgot about your food, Little Loki!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed as she shook her head in guilt.
Different from Tang Li Xue and Yaya which could hold their hunger even for a few months, Little Loki would always feel hungry as Taotie’s cub, and it need to eat high-energy stuff like beast cores regularly to ease its hunger.
But where Tang Li Xue could find beast cores in this Foxes Hunting Festival since all foxes would be eliminated and sent back when they were killed!
“Aihhh~! What to do?! I am really sorry, Little Loki… But please hold on for some time… After we kill that Doppelganger, we should get something from winning this game. Yes, that prize will be your food and you can eat it later, okay? So, please just hold on for now.” Tang Li Xue tried to comfort Little Loki.
Little Loki nodded its tiny head in understanding.
It also knew that Tang Li Xue could not bring anything into this Foxes Hunting Festival, but Little Loki was also helpless right now since it would feel extremely hungry after the battle, especially since it suffer such grievous wounds before.
Tang Li Xue subconsciously thought what would happen if Little Loki swallowed the foxes in this Foxes Hunting Festival, would they really die and disappear forever, or would they only get eliminated and sent back to where they came from as usual?
‘Well, probably not… Taotie’s [Heaven’s Devour] is too heaven-defying, so I am pretty sure Little Loki would really kill them if it swallowed them.’ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
This was also the reason why Tang Li Xue did not let Little Loki use [Heaven’s Devour] here… If some foxes really died in this Foxes Hunting Festival, the problem would certainly become huge, and they could easily trace them back to Little Loki later.
‘Sigh… It seems the only way is to win more treasure games and get more precious treasures to feed Little Loki later…’ Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation.
That was really easy to say but Tang Li Xue herself could barely win the previous two treasure games and almost get killed many times…
When Tang Li Xue was in deep thought, she actually bumped into the black and white striped fox again!
“Damn, it is you again?! Why are you keep chasing after me?! Just so you know, I am not the Doppelganger!” Tang Li Xue said to the black and white striped fox with an angry tone.
Honestly, Tang Li Xue really did not want to fight against this black and white striped fox.
It was not that Tang Li Xue was afraid of this black and white striped fox, but because its divine abilities were too annoying to deal with.
The black and white striped fox took a glance at Little Loki for a few moments before replying: “I know you are not the Doppelganger… I find you to make a deal with you.”
Tang Li Xue was surprised, but she still did not lower her guard as she asked back: “Deal? What kind of deal do you want from me?”
“You already faced the Doppelganger before, aren’t you? So, you should already know how troublesome it is, right?” The black and white striped fox spoke with an inquiry tone.
“Yes, so what? Can you stop being so long-winded and just tell me what you want?!” Tang Li Xue asked again impatiently.
The black and white striped fox smiled and explained: “That Doppelganger not only can imitate our appearance, but it can also perfectly imitate all of our divine abilities. Just from this, any foxes would find it hard to defeat it since it is the same as facing ourselves.”
“But it would be a different matter if several foxes are working together to kill it. How about we work together to kill that Doppelganger?” The black and white striped fox invited Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue felt a bit interested when she heard the black and white striped fox’s suggestion.
However, Tang Li Xue still warily asked: “Then what about the winning reward for killing the Doppelganger later? Should we split it in two?”
The black and white striped fox shook its head and muttered: “That will not work since we will be teleported to a random location after winning the game.”
“Our deal would be like this… We must never attack each other, and we will work together to defeat that Doppelganger. As for the treasure reward… Of course, it depends on who lands the last hit to kill the Doppelganger later.” The black and white striped fox told Tang Li Xue about their deal.
Tang Li Xue secretly snorted in her heart.
This black and white striped fox clearly thought of her as a fool!
Tang Li Xue already fought against this black and white striped fox before, and she knew how fast and unpredictable its divine abilities were!
Talking about the last killing hit, this black and white striped fox clearly had full confidence in its divine abilities to kill the Doppelganger first before Tang Li Xue could do it!
But it did not mean that Tang Li Xue has no hope at all…
Especially since Tang Li Xue already planned to replace her [Lightning Form] with another divine ability as soon as possible!
And this black and white striped fox’s divine abilities were clearly her best target!
“All right, deal~!” Tang Li Xue nodded at the black and white striped fox.
“Good~! Let’s find the Doppelganger together!” The black and white striped fox spoke as it smiled at Tang Li Xue.
“Just follow me… I already mark the Doppelganger with my skill. I know its location, but this mirror maze is so confusing…” Tang Li Xue told to the black and white striped fox.
Yes, Tang Li Xue already put a tracker on the Doppelganger with her [Mapping Sense] skill before, but it was still not easy to find a way toward the Doppelganger in this confusing mirror maze.
