Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 - 40: Trap and Gamble!

Pitter… Patter… Pitter… Patter…

The rain began to fall from the night sky when Tang Li Xue arrived at Elder Lin's residence.

Elder Lin's residence was actually no less luxurious and big than Xiao Hei's uncle. It was also signified how important Elder Lin in that fatty uncle's eyes.

Not only that, but the number of guards placed at this Elder Lin's place was also simply astounding!

'As I expect from that cunning uncle… He must be afraid that Xiao Hei sent some assassins to take revenge against Elder Lin or steal the abundant resources from Elder Lin's place! Unfortunately, all of these guards are useless against me! Uwehehehe…'

Although the rain was still pouring down heavily, it did not affect Tang Li Xue's movement or her [Ethereal Form] divine ability at all!

With her [Enhanced Sense of Sight] plus her [Night Vision], she did not have any difficulty moving with high speed in the dark! _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Moreover, she also supported by her [Enhanced Sense of Hearing] and [Enhanced Sense of Smell] for detection!

In fact, she already discovered several black-clothed men hiding in the shadow. Of course, all of these black-clothed people's intentions were not to assassinate Elder Lin, on the contrary, all of them must be fatty uncle's shadow guards that assigned to guard Elder Lin secretly.

'Mufufufu… Patrolling guards? Useless! PASS!'

Tang Li Xue dashed pass through all the patrolling guards effortlessly.

'Shadow guards hiding in the shadow? Easy! PASS!'

All the hiding shadow guards can't even see and feel her presence so how could they stop Tang Li Xue! So once again, Tang Li Xue passed them easily.

'Huh… are those traps? Pffft… Such an old fashioned trap! That's futile! PASS!'

There were several very thin silk wires connected with several bamboos, the purposes of these traps were that if the intruder accidentally touched it would make loud sounds to alarm all the guards.

However, Tang Li Xue could even pass through the solid wall with her [Ethereal Form] let alone this kind of traps! So Tang Li Xue once again passed through all of them like the wind.

Each time she passed an obstacle, Tang Li Xue's confidence became more and more swelling! In the end, she felt too complacent and it would be proof to be fatal in this kind of delicate quest just like now because one small mistake would be enough to mess it all up!

'Eehhh… What is that? Another trap? No problem! PAAA… AAAAAAHHHH!'

Tang Li Xue only looked at other thin silk wires several meters in front of her but before she reached there, her tiny furry body dropped down!

Bwooooosh~~! Plop!

Another classic trap: deep trap hole full of sharp spikes!

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue was still in her cheat-like [Ethereal Form] mode so all of those sharp spikes passed through her body harmlessly.

'Tsk… another old trap! But how could I didn't find it before?.......Illusion? They are using an illusion to cover it now? Tsk… Tsk… Now how could I go back to the surface? Even my [Jump] skill cannot reach that high!'

In the end, Tang Li Xue decided to buy [Climb] skill from her system that cost her another 1 Skill Point then used it to climb back up from the deep hole to the surface.

'Haaaiiissss… Maybe it will be easier if I infiltrate from the front gate using my [Ethereal Form] rather than sneaking from the backside like now… Whatever… It is already too late to turn back now! I already entered too deep into his courtyard! Rather than taking the detour, I prefer to face it head-on since it is faster and saving more time!'

Tang Li Xue could only sustain her [Ethereal Form] for less than thirty minutes so she knew she must be quick!
