'Oh?! It's a success?! But... why is it only a Normal Level Difficulty? A dangerous mission like this should be at Hard Level Difficulty, isn't it?! Whatever... At least I can get something from saving this ungrateful egg!' Tang Lu Xue grumbled in her heart while frowned in displeasure.
Tang Li Xue followed Instructor Mei Lan from behind, while both of them followed Councillor Junjie and the other powerful foxes to enter the Auction House's entrance together.
"Lan'er, I don't know what you are thinking in that head of yours, but you better always keep your little student close to you. The danger we will meet inside is not something you can imagine!" Councillor Junjie warned Instructor Mei Lan again with a stern tone full of worry.
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes and decided to ignore it this time.
Instructor Mei Lan already heard this warning for more than a hundred times from Councillor Junjie, and she was even too lazy to reply to it now.
Even Tang Li Xue's lips twitched violently when she heard Councillor Junjie's repeated warning like a broken clock.
The moment they stepped inside the Auction House, they immediately welcomed by the overbearing pressure, which pushes them away.
Councillor Junjie and his powerful team instantly used their strength to resist it while protecting Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue from it.
However, some weakened pressures still hit Instructor Mei Lan like rolling waves and made Instructor Mei Lan realized just how terrifying the pressure inside the Auction House was.
When Councillor Junjie and his group entered deeper into the auction house, they were greeted by the thick black mist like substance.
"What a devastating miasma! Watch out, everyone! Things will start to get nastier from here. Lan'er, we cannot completely protect you and your student from this miasma, so you must use the defense type treasure I gave to you before to protect both of you." Councillor Junjie instructed Instructor Mei Lan with a solemn expression.
Instructor Mei Lan nodded to Councillor Junjie and took out a silver mirror from her space pouch.
When Instructor Mei Lan injected her vitality energy to the silver mirror, a transparent sphere appeared in an instant, enveloped Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue figures inside it.
Tang Li Xue stared at the silver mirror with eyes full of curiosity but woken up from her daze by Instructor Mei Lan's sudden question.
"Are you sure that thing inside is really your egg? I don't mean to doubt your words, but this overwhelming powerful pressure and miasma are so strong. I found it hard to believe that all of these are caused by a mere egg." Instructor Mei Lan asked Tang Li Xue doubtfully with her [Telepathy].
Tang Li Xue's mastery over her [Telepathy] skill was not as good as Instructor Mei Lan, and she was afraid that her words were heard by everyone here, so she only nodded her head to Instructor Mei Lan.
Actually, Tang Li Xue already tried to communicate with the glutton egg so many times after she entered the Auction House, but she still has not got any reply from it.
She could sense the glutton egg's location with their connection clearly, and she could even faintly sense the glutton egg's current condition.
In fact, the glutton egg felt so full right now, and it got sleepy because of it, so it went sleep at the center of the Auction House without caring any about the consequence.
Councillor Junjie and his powerful team experienced so much difficulty right now because the overwhelming pressure became more and more powerful when they entered deeper into the core area of the Auction House.
The devastating miasma around them also got thicker and thicker.
Many of them could only barely resist the current pressure, and their face turned paler. The devastating miasma seeped bit by bit into their skin, and it made them cough more and more violently.
Even Instructor Mei Lan's silver mirror could not fully resist the pressure and miasma, forced the Instructor Mei Lan to defend against all of that with her own strength.
Instructor Mei Lan turned her head full of worry to check Tang Li Xue's condition and got really surprised by what she saw.
Tang Li Xue followed behind them leisurely and looked around with topaz blue eyes full of curiosity as if she did not feel anything at all.
"Little One... you.... you do not feel anything?" One of the people in the team asked Tang Li Xue with a tone full of disbelief.
"Feel what?" Tang Li Xue tilted her head and asked back.
Instructor Mei Lan almost fainted by Tang Li Xue's clueless question and warned Tang Li Xue with her [Telepathy]: "Silly Xue... can't you see all of us are in great suffering? At least you can pretend to be suffering like us!"
Tang Li Xue looked at all the people around her and finally realized their pathetic condition. She was the only one who walking leisurely here as if she was sightseeing in the supermarket.
"Oh... Ow, Ow, Ow! Cough, Cough, Cough! Wha... what the hell is this black smoke?! I... I almost can't breathe! Wheeze... Wheeze... I... I feel like I am going to die!" Tang Li Xue lowered her head and put an act as if she was suffering greater than them and almost died.
Fortunately, Tang Li Xue's rosy healthy face was hidden by her fox mask, or she could not explain everything, even if she has ten mouths.
This was also not Tang Li Xue's fault at all since she thought she was safe inside Instructor Mei Lan's protection sphere, so she did not think anything.
She did not have any clue at all that the overwhelming pressure or devastating miasma here has no effect on her because of her connection with the glutton egg as its current partial master.
Instructor Mei Lan did not know whether she must cry or laugh at Tang Li Xue's exaggerating act.
"If you act so exaggerating like that, they will tell us to go back soon." Instructor Mei Lan warned Tang Li Xue again with her [Telepathy].
Just like what Instructor Mei Lan had said, Councillor Junjie turned around and ordered Instructor Mei Lan: "Cough... Lan'er, you can see that it's too dangerous here! Are you really wanted to kill your student?! Cough... Just listen to me this time and go back, okay?"
"You don't need to worry about me. I am really okay! For the Myriad Foxes Academy's safety, I am more than willing to sacrifice my life!" Tang Li Xue imitated Instructor Mei Lan's speech from before and said shamelessly while patting her chest.
Councillor Junjie and his team stared at Tang Li Xue weirdly then stared at Instructor Mei Lan as if trying to ask: 'Is this what you teach to her?'
Councillor Junjie and his team could only shake their head in resignation when they were facing Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue's stubbornness.
When all of them entered the core plaza area in the Auction House, the miasma and pressure were so immense that made many of them coughed out a mouthful of black blood.
All of them immediately activated their respective divine abilities to protect themselves, including Instructor Mei Lan.
Tang Li Xue did not know what to use, so she activated her [Golden Body] in the end.
Instructor Mei Lan was the weakest among this team after Tang Li Xue, so she was forced to turn back to her fox form. When she was in her fox form, her overall stats were increasing by 3 times.
Tang Li Xue stared at Instructor Mei Lan's fox form with eyes full of admiration.
Instructor Mei Lan's fox form was as big as an ox, but her fox's figure was so slender and elegant completely opposite of the ox's robust muscular body.
Most of her furs were black, but she also had several white striped furs on her back and tails.
'Three tails? So Instructor Mei Lan is only a [Rare] grade fox?!' Tang Li Xue dropped her jaw in surprise.
"You... really do not feel anything from this pressure and miasma?" Instructor Mei Lan inquired Tang Li Xue with her [Telepathy], but her tone was full of amazement.
Tang Li Xue tried to sense carefully if there was something wrong with her body, and she nodded her head toward Instructor Mei Lan after she felt nothing wrong with her body.
"Can you tell that egg of yours to stop producing this miasma? Or decreasing its pressure?" Instructor Mei Lan asked Tang Li Xue secretly again with her [Telepathy].
Tang Li Xue tried to communicate with the egg again. She has failed, but she managed to get some information about it.
Tang Li Xue shook her head and whispered to Instructor Mei Lan: "I can't. It ate too many things, and this miasma is like its fart to expel the impurities. It also cannot control this pressure because it is something like burping after eating. All of these are the normal reaction for it."
Instructor Mei Lan almost puked out several mouthfuls of blood when she heard Tang Li Xue's explanation.
"So we are all already become like this because of that egg's fart and burp?! Just how strong the creature inside that egg?!" Instructor Mei Lan roared in Tang Li Xue's mind with her [Telepathy].
Even Tang Li Xue found it hard to believe, and she also started to look forward to the day when that glutton egg hatched!
"All right, everyone! Let's regroup with the previous group first to get more information! I already contacted them, and they will come to meet with us soon." Councillor Junjie told everybody.
