Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 843 843: Sudden Attack!

Different from the hall and corridor which were illuminated by fluorescence substances on the ground, wall, and ceiling, The interior of the egg incubation room was extremely dark without any light.

However, it was not a problem for Tang Li Xue and Little Loki since they could still see clearly in the dark with their [Night Vision] ability.

When Tang Li Xue stepped into the egg incubation room, the pungent smell of rotten eggs instantly assaulted her sharp nose.

Tang Li Xue quickly closed her nose and mouth with her palm in reflex, then held her breath to stop smelling the stench of the rotten eggs.

Fortunately, it was still bearable compared to the foul rotten fishy stench from those mermen which could make even Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy extremely dizzy and stagger weakly.

There were so many transparent tubes of different sizes containing a strange liquid lined neatly in the egg incubation room.

The various-sized eggs from the eggs as big as a thumb to the eggs as big as a table were incubated inside those transparent tubes with a strange liquid.

There were also so many egg storage racks put on the huge shelves lined up neatly on the left and right sides of the egg incubation room.

There might be more than tens of thousands of various-sized eggs stored in this spacious egg incubation room.

Tang Li Xue secretly imagined how many omelets could be made from these eggs.

Sadly, most of these eggs were completely devoid of any vitality and energy. Even the greedy Little Loki did not have any appetite to eat these dead rotten eggs.

Tang Li Xue vigilantly explored the dark egg incubation room with Little Loki and Yaya still sat on her shoulders.

She immediately noticed that there were quite a lot of shattered transparent tubes and rotten egg crusts scattered on the floor in the deeper area of the egg incubation room.

Tang Li Xue immediately had a very bad feeling when she saw that mess.

She hastily took out the [Sword of Disaster] from her space pouch while warning Little Loki and Yaya in a solemn tone: ”Little Loki, Yaya, be careful! I think...”

But before Tang Li Xue could finish her words, dense-packed crimson eyes suddenly shone in the darkness right above Tang Li Xue and her group!

Tang Li Xueʼs [Extrasensory Perception] suddenly warned her of the sudden incoming danger from above!

Tang Li Xueʼs scalp went numb as she reflexively executed her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to quickly retreat from where she stood up right now, but she was still a half-step too late since the creatures already pounced at her from above!

Fortunately, Yaya, who sat idly on Tang Li Xueʼs shoulder all this time, could predict it a few seconds ahead of time and act fast enough!

[Hurricane Barrier]~!

BWOOOOOSSSH~!

Yaya immediately unleashed her [Hurricane Barrier] to block the sudden sneaky attack from the creatures in the dark!

Right before those creatures could touch Tang Li Xue, they were already blown away by Yayaʼs [Hurricane Barrier]!

Tang Li Xue also finally managed to see the appearance of the creatures who tried to attack her.

They were actually zombified baby creatures!

There were several different kinds of zombified baby creatures, ranging from the types that Tang Li Xue had already seen before such as low-level mermen, purple mermen, female green mermen, and crimson carapace mermen to the types that Tang Li Xue had never seen before such as snake-like mermen, frog-like mermen, turtle-like mermen, and so on.

Their sizes also vary from each other. The smallest was only as big as Tang Li Xueʼs fist, while the biggest could reach Tang Li Xueʼs waist.

Tang Li Xue had to admit that some of them looked very cute in their baby form, but their crimson eyes and sharp fangs made Tang Li Xue lose her will to touch or caress them.

”Nice save, Yaya~!” Tang Li Xue praised Yaya as she swiftly thrust the black [Sword of Disaster] in her grasp toward those zombified baby creatures!

[Heavenly Sword Techniques], Flooding Stabs!

Tang Li Xueʼs rapid thrusts split and turned into countless images of swords that assaulted those zombified baby creatures like a tsunami of swords in that instant!

PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!

Tang Li Xueʼs tsunami of black swords cleared more than fifty zombified baby creatures by tearing them apart to blood mist in the blink of an eye!

”Eh? These baby zombies are so weak?” Tang Li Xue muttered in surprise.

Of course, Tang Li Xue did not mean that she could ignore their attack and crush them like ants.

She only meant that these zombified baby creatures were much weaker compared to the matured mermen army that guarded and patrolled outside the underwater palace.

Just when Tang Li Xue thought so...

More than a hundred zombified baby creatures had already crawled swiftly toward her!

CRACK~! CRACK~! CRACK~!

Moreover, many rotten eggs around her cracked as if the zombified baby creatures that were slept inside them were awakened by Tang Li Xueʼs presence!

”All right, I take my words back... Yaya help me clean them up! Little Loki, use your [Phantom Splitter] clones to find the spiritual spring pool as soon as possible!” Tang Li Xue urged Little Loki and Yaya in a solemn tone.

Little Loki and Yaya nodded obediently at Tang Li Xue.

Little Loki jumped down from Tang Li Xueʼs right shoulder as its tiny black figure split into ten identical figures.

Then Little Loki along with its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones split up and quickly look for the spiritual spring pool!

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue and Yaya were fighting together against the other wave of zombified baby creatures!

[Moonlight Flash]~!

[Compressed Wind Blades] x15~!

PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!

Tang Li Xue and Yaya cooperated perfectly with each other as they easily decimated dozens of zombified baby creatures in less than one breath!

But no matter how fast and how many the two of them killed those zombified baby creatures, there would be many more seemed to come at them!

If Tang Li Xue and Yaya kept fighting at this high intensity for a long time, they would surely become exhausted sooner or later.

That was the reason why Tang Li Xue told Little Loki to find the spiritual spring pool as soon as possible.

Luckily, their luck was not that bad, and it did not take that long for Little Loki to find the spiritual spring pool!

This egg incubation room might be very spacious with many transparent tubes and egg shelves that obstructed their vision.

However, the spiritual spring pool could actually be easily found since it was located in the middle of the egg incubation room.

”Mew nyeowww~! Meooow Nyaaw! (I found it~! Follow me!)” One of Little Lokiʼs [Phantom Splitter] clones meowed to Tang Li Xue and Yaya.

Tang Li Xue noticed that there was something strange from Little Lokiʼs [Phantom Splitter] cloneʼs weak sound.

She became very worried about Little Lokiʼs condition since she thought Little Loki was injured, so she hastily turned around and brought Yaya to follow Little Lokiʼs [Phantom Splitter] clone.

Tang Li Xue and Yaya ran away deeper into the egg incubation room, but the hundreds of zombified baby creatures did not give up and still persistently kept chasing after them!

When Tang Li Xue and Yaya reached the center of the egg incubation room, Tang Li Xue was instantly stunned by what she had seen right in front of her!

Her mind felt as if it was struck by lightning as she saw the completely empty pool!

”No way, right? How could the spiritual spring pool be empty?! Little Loki, you did not drink it all, right?!” Tang Li Xue asked Little Loki in an anxious tone.

Little Loki rolled its eyes disdainfully at Tang Li Xue.

ʼHow could you accuse me like that?! Am I really that kind of cat?ʼ Little Loki angrily sent its thoughts to Tang Li Xue and Yaya.

Tang Li Xue and Yaya still suspiciously stared at Little Loki while nodding their heads.

ʼErr, well, okay... Maybe sometimes, I am like that... But I really dare to swear that I did not drink them this time~!ʼ Little Loki anxiously tried to explain to Tang Li Xue and Yaya.

Tang Li Xue could only sigh in regret and replied while patting Little Lokiʼs head gently: ”It is okay. Maybe the spiritual spring pool has already dried up after such a long time. Letʼs just forget it and quickly get out of here before we get completely surrounded by those baby zombies!”

Just when Tang Li Xue turned around from the dried spiritual spring pool and prepared to lead Little Loki and Yaya out of this egg incubation room...

Little Loki sent them another piece of news with its thought: ʼOh, right... There is an egg emitting quite scary aura down there. Should we just leave it just like that? Or should we destroy it first before the creature inside it breaks out of it?ʼ

”Eh, egg? What egg?” Tang Li Xue asked curiously while looking at the dried spiritual spring pool.
