Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 869

869 Chapter 869: Last Preparation Before Evolving!

Tang Li Xue happily gave a thumbs up to Xi'er and said: "Okay, I agree! You can do it now~! Oh, wait a second... Can you estimate how long it will take to complete the process?"

Xi'er pondered for a while and replied: "It will not take long maybe less than one hour. But I will probably fall into a quite long deep sleep after that since the transferring process is pretty taxing for my spirit."

Tang Li Xue secretly sighed in relief after she heard Xi'er's answer.

Tang Li Xue did not have much time after all, and she definitely could not stay in this underwater palace for too long.

It would be really awkward if Xi'er said that she would need one month or so to complete the transfer process since Tang Li Xue might have to consider canceling her offer for Xi'er to join her team.

Let alone one month, Tang Li Xue obviously could not even wait for a week because she had to prepare for her evolution to [Rare] Grade Beast as soon as possible before Instructor Mei Lan, Teacher Li Wei, and the Exploration Team could find her.

"All right, you can begin now." Tang Li Xue smiled and nodded at Xi'er as she threw the [Sword of Disaster] to Xi'er and stored the [Ocean God Trident] back into her space pouch.

Xi'er easily caught the [Sword of Disaster] with her palm while nodding back at Tang Li Xue with a solemn expression.

Then Xi'er closed her eyes as her entire body was shining with blue light.

While waiting for Xi'er to complete the transfer process, Tang Li Xue took out some snacks, beast cores, and Spirit Dew Cucumbers from her space pouch to feed herself, Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia.

The shiny blue light slowly shrunk until it became as big as a fist before it flew out from the forehead of the one-hundred-meter-tall Sea Queen stone statue and landed on the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster].

Countless thin cracks quickly spread on the Sea Queen stone statue.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

Tang Li Xue and her group hastily ran away further from the Sea Queen stone statue since it actually crumbled to pieces.

"Xi'er?" Tang Li Xue muttered in a worried tone.

But at this time, the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] flew swiftly and stopped right in front of Tang Li Xue.

"It is done~! Finally, I can..." Xi'er's excited voice came out from the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster], but her voice sounded very tired and weak.

Before Xi'er could finish her words, she suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

The blue light that wrapped the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] faded away, and the [Sword of Disaster] fell into Tang Li Xue's hands.

Tang Li Xue chuckled as she gently caressed the [Sword of Disaster] while muttering: "Welcome, Xi'er~! I am really glad that you can join us."

The [Sword of Disaster] in Tang Li Xue's grasp trembled slightly as if the sleeping Xi'er could hear Tang Li Xue's greet and tried to respond back.

Tang Li Xue laughed in amusement while flicking the [Sword of Disaster] lightly, then she carefully stored the [Sword of Disaster] in her space pouch too.

Yaya and Little Loki jumped toward Tang Li Xue and sat lazily on her right and left shoulders.

Then Tang Li Xue rode on Lucia's back before Lucia flapped her wings rapidly and flew toward the underwater palace's entrance gates.

The underwater palace's entrance gates were still closed tightly, but Lucia forcefully pushed them open with her headbutt.

BAAAAANGG~!

There were actually still so many mermen patrolling outside the underwater palace!

They immediately noticed Lucia, Tang Li Xue, and her group when Lucia flew out from the underwater palace.

That army of mermen desperately chased after Tang Li Xue's group, but they clearly could not compete with Lucia's extremely fast flying speed.

In the end, the army of mermen unleashed a barrage of water and ice spells toward Lucia in order to shoot her down first.

Just when the rain of water and ice spells almost reached Lucia, she hastily unleashed her [Slow Motion] buff skill!

[Slow Motion: The user will feel the flow of time around him/her slow down tenfold. Buff duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown: 1 hour.]

Lucia instantly felt the barrage of water and ice spells that rained upon her become very slow.

Lucia's flying speed also soared by ten times as she tilted and swayed her body to the right and left to dodge the rain of ice and water spells by a hair's breadth.

It only took a few breaths of time for Lucia to leave the army of merman far behind until they could no longer see back.

Lucia slowed down her flying speed by more than half as she flew out of the underwater cave and swam back underwater.

Lucia's speed once again dropped a lot when she moved underwater.

After swimming upward for quite some time, Lucia finally managed to bring Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki out from under the lake.

Fortunately, they did not bump into any annoying enemies such as the previous enormous snakes or any mermen on their way this time.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she and her group successfully got away from those mermen's chase and came out safely from under the lake.

Tang Li Xue quickly used her Profound Law of Heat to dry her soaking body and clothes along with Lucia, Yaya, and Little Loki's wet bodies.

"Don't fly too high, Lucia. Who knows if we will get noticed by powerful enemies because of it." Tang Li Xue warned Lucia in a solemn tone.

Lucia immediately followed Tang Li Xue's suggestion and lowered her flying height until it was only below a hundred meters.

"Kweek Keaaak Kweeak~? (Where should we go now~?)" Lucia tilted her head and asked Tang Li Xue.

"Oh, right... Err, let's just look for a remote place where no one is around." Tang Li Xue replied to Lucia.

Previously, Tang Li Xue wanted to just evolve in the underwater palace's front hall, so Xi'er could protect her in the process of her evolution, but she quickly changed her mind in the end.
