Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment].
Her silver furry figure vanished as she turned invisible and untrackable.
On her way, Tang Li Xue opened Yaya's status window in her system and checked Yaya's two new defense-type divine abilities.
([Traceless Wind Cover]: The user becomes invisible by creating a wind cloak to shroud the entire body. The user will have a 50% damage reduction effect until the wind cloak is broken.)
([Wind Guardian Blessing]: Increase overall speed by 50%, and grant the user auto-dodge effect. Duration: 10 seconds (Depending on Agility stat). Note: auto-dodge will not work if the opponent's attack speed is faster than the user's speed, or if the AoE attack radius is too large.)
"These two defense-type divine abilities are much better than I expected~! The first divine ability grants invisibility plus damage reduction effect, while the second divine ability grants speed boost buff plus auto-dodge effect." Tang Li Xue muttered in amazement.
Moreover, the effects of these two defense-type divine abilities would not clash with each other at all, so both of them could be used at the same time in many different situations.
Tang Li Xue was actually also itching to try to give the Sapphire Armored Wasp's royal jelly to Little Loki and see what kind of divine ability it would awaken.
Unfortunately, she could not bring any items to this Foxes Hunting Festival, so she could only postpone this plan for later until she got eliminated and sent back if she wanted to give the royal jelly to Little Loki.
Little Loki used its skill to turn invisible, while Little Yaya also used [Traceless Wind Cover] to become invisible.
The three of them traveled together toward the nearby mountain this time.
On their way, Tang Li Xue also saw many other foxes that rushed toward the pillar of golden light, but Tang Li Xue did not plan to greet or fight with them, so she simply ignored them all.
Some of the foxes even fought fiercely to kill each other, Tang Li Xue decided to just take a bit of detour since she did not want to accidentally get involved in their fight.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief when she sensed Yaya and Little Loki were very calm and vigilant on their way.
If both Yaya and Little Loki recklessly attacked all the foxes they met on their way, Tang Li Xue might have another huge headache now.
After a few hours when the sun was almost set, Tang Li Xue finally found a clear river in the valley under the mountain.
Tang Li Xue happily jumped onto the river while canceling her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment].
However, when Tang Li Xue landed her feet in the river...
SPPPLLAAAAASSHHH~!!!
A mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly appeared in front of Tang Li Xue's snout!
There was a fox with [Shark Transformation] divine ability hiding in the river, and it was waiting for its prey to enter the water before attacking!
Tang Li Xue actually had already sensed this sneak attacker with her [Extrasensory Perception] since a few moments ago!
Just as Tang Li Xue wanted to use her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dodge this attack...
[Scythe Claw Qi]!
[Compressed Wind Blade]!
PUFF~!!! PUFF~!!! PUFF~!!!
The fox with [Shark Transformation] was cut into pieces under the merciless simultaneous attack of both Little Loki and Little Yaya, then it turned into a group of white light and disappeared!
Tang Li Xue: "....."
'Why do I feel like a useless young mistress guarded by two powerful bodyguards... Oh, well... At least we did not meet with any predator-level foxes yet until now.' Tang Li Xue thought in her heart.
"Little Loki, Yaya~! Thank you very..." Tang Li Xue turned around to face Little Loki and Yaya, but before she could finish her words...
Ya~! Yaya ya~?!" (That is my prey~! I kill it first with my attack~!)
Mew meow~? Nyawnyaw~!" (Are you dreaming, kid? It clearly died because of my attack~!)
Yaya~?! Yayaayaa yaaa ya~! (Kid~?! I was born first before you, so you should call me big sister~!)
Little Loki no longer replied to Yaya and only stared at her full of disdain as if it was asking mockingly: 'Big sister?! Do you really think you deserve to become the big sister of meawesome me?!'
Then Little Loki and Yaya started to glare at each other menacingly...
Tang Li Xue put her paw on her furry head with a facepalm pose and muttered: "You two... Sigh... Can you two get along well with each other?!"
YAAAAA~!!! (Impossible~!!!)
MEOWNYAW~!!! (Meompawssible~!!!)
Both Little Loki and Yaya replied at the same time and glared at each other in anger again.
Tang Li Xue could even imagine a spark of flame and lightning when their glare clashed with each other.
She has three companions right now... Little Loki, Little Yaya, and Phoenix of Pride... But the three of them never liked each other and always quarrel when they met!
Tang Li Xue really did not get it at all, why they always acted like this when they met with each other...
dαsvεl m
Yaya was always obedient and sensible in front of Tang Li Xue.
While Little Loki was always behaving much more maturely than Tang Li Xue, and it always acted smart and wise in any situation.
But why when they met with each other, they would act childishly like this?!
Tang Li Xue started to suspect that her system give a bad debuff to them, something like [-100 IQ when your companion pets meet with each other].
"All right, you two, that is enough! Come here now! I will bathe both of you until clean!" Tang Li Xue said to Little Loki and Little Yaya with a stern tone.
Little Yaya activated her [Extreme Speed] and [Wind Guardian Blessing] to increase her speed as she flew swiftly toward Tang Li Xue!
However, Little Loki used [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] to lock Little Yaya until she could not move, then it used [Instant Teleportation] to appear right in front of Tang Li Xue in an instant.
When Yaya could move again, she was fuming in rage at Little Loki's cheating move, so she used her wind control to blow Little Loki until Little Loki flew backward further from Tang Li Xue!
Both Little Loki and Yaya begin to fight fiercely... Well, they were not attacking to hurt each other, but they used their divine abilities and skills to make the other not approach Tang Li Xue instead.
Tang Li Xue slapped her furry head with her paw again in frustration.
Tang Li Xue decided to ignore them and let them quarrel to their heart content first.
She activated the [Transfiguration: Human Form] to change into her human form.
Tang Li Xue was much more comfortable taking a bath in her human form.
"Sigh... Unfortunately, I cannot bring any flower fragrance soap here... This unpleasant smell still persistently sticks to my body!" Tang Li Xue complained as she took a bath in the river.
After making sure that she was not smelly anymore, Tang Li Xue also forcefully pulled both Yaya and Little Loki, then scrubbed both of them at the same time until they were also not smelly anymore.
Then Tang Li Xue de-activated her [Transfiguration: Human Form] and turned back into her silver-furred fox form.
Tang Li Xue brought Little Loki and Yaya toward the nearby large tree and dug a hole in that large tree to hide there for tonight.
When Little Loki and Yaya slept inside the tree hole, Tang Li Xue took many tree barks into the tree hole and activated her transfiguration to turn into her human form again, then she took out her golden inscription pen from her system storage.
Tang Li Xue pierced the golden inscription pen onto her palm to use her own blood as the ink to make the talisman.
With her [High-Speed Regeneration], it only took a dozen seconds for her superficial wound to completely recover.
"Hmm... What kind of talismans I should make? Buff-type talismans such as [Talisman of Giant Strength], [Talisman of Lightning Speed], and [Talisman of Iron Skin] are a must. [Talisman of Regeneration] is also very important... Then let's make these four talismans first!" Tang Li Xue muttered as she took one tree bark.
Tang Li Xue's expression became solemn as she started to carefully carve the rune using her inscription pen and her blood onto the tree bark.
BOOOFFF~!!!
The tree bark exploded and shattered to pieces!
The first attempt was a failure...
Tang Li Xue was not discouraged at all.
She took another tree bark and immediately started her second attempt.
BOOOFFF~!!!
The second attempt... failed again!
Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and tried again.
Third attempt, fourth attempt, fifth attempt, sixth attempt...
BOOOFFF~!!! BOOOFFF~!!! BOOOFFF~!!! BOOOFFF~!!!
Tang Li Xue stopped for a while and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Sigh... Making the talisman with the talisman paper and making the talisman with the tree bark are really two different matters... The difficulty is clearly not on the same level." Tang Li Xue groaned in displeasure.
After calming down, Tang Li Xue was focusing all of her attention on the inscription pen in her hand, then she started to carve the rune slowly onto the tree bark.
It was ten times slower than when Tang Li Xue made the talisman using the talisman paper.
But she finally succeeded this time!
Tang Li Xue excitedly raised her first successfully made talisman from tree bark.
However, Tang Li Xue's excitement immediately vanished when she saw the [Talisman of Giant Strength] did not have any additional stat like her usual talisman.
