Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 480: Hot Pursuit!

Meanwhile, Little Loki lay down weakly on Tang Li Xue's left shoulder.

Little Loki had consumed too much energy in its battle against the Sapphire Wasp Queen.

As pure-blooded Tao Tie, Little Loki might possess powerful strength and divine abilities even though it was still a newborn cub, but it was still completely lacking in the term of endurance.

Tao Tie's advantage in battle was that it could quickly replenish its energy or grow stronger by devouring anything, including its enemies.

However, Little Loki did not have any chance to devour anything in the previous battle, so its energy was depleted so fast.

In short, both Tang Li Xue and Little Loki were in a pretty bad state right now.

"Nyan~ Meow~ Mew~!" Little Loki feebly called Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue replied to Little Loki with a reassuring tone while panting heavily: "Huff, Huff... Don't worry, Little Loki... I am all right."

Little Loki rolled its eyes and pointed its tiny paw toward Tang Li Xue's space pouch hung on her left slender waist.

Tang Li Xue immediately realized what Little Loki wanted.

She quickly took out all the beast cores she stored in her space pouch and fed them to Little Loki.

Little Loki greedily devoured them all one by one, like eating peanuts.

"I take quite a lot of honey. Do you want to drink it too? How about taking a few sips of the royal jelly?" Tang Li Xue asked Little Loki as she took out the green gourd and spatial ring.

Little Loki shook its furry head to reject them and fell asleep on Tang Li Xue's left shoulder.

Sapphire Armored Wasp's royal jelly and honey might contain a lot of energy, but Little Loki would certainly need a much longer time to digest them!

Yet, the present situation was not the right time for that since Little Loki needed to restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

BBBUUUUUUUZZZ~!!!

Just when Tang Li Xue only slowed down a bit to feed Little Loki, a loud buzzing sound came toward her from behind!

"Sigh...Here we go again... Oh, come on! Can you give me just a little break?" Tang Li Xue complained as she sped up her steps.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast Tang Li Xue sprinted, she would never be able to outrun the Sapphire Wasp Queen.

It did not take long for the Sapphire Wasp Queen to catch up with Tang Li Xue and Little Loki.

WWEEEEENGGGG~!!! BBBUUUUUUUZZZ~!!! BBBUUUUUUUZZZ~!!!

The Sapphire Wasp Queen became excited when it saw Tang Li Xue and Little Loki running right in front of it.

Tang Li Xue could sense that the Sapphire Wasp Queen had gotten closer and closer to her from behind, but she still did not have any solution for it.

"Aisss... If only I could use all of my divine abilities! I will have many ways to get out of here!" Tang Li Xue whined with a regretful tone.

Without many options from her divine abilities such as [Ethereal Form], [Energy Manipulation], [Twin Moon], [Mirror of the Moon], and so on, Tang Li Xue could only struggle to survive by using her current one and only lifesaving skill...

[Water Mirage]!

Tang Li Xue's slender figure was split into many in an instant!

Most of them split and ran toward the different intersections on the dark tunnel, but some of them were even recklessly jumping toward the Sapphire Wasp Queen.

The Sapphire Wasp Queen was shocked by Tang Li Xue's technique for a moment but that was all...

SHRINGGG~!!! SHRINGGG~!!! SHRINGGG~!!!

With several rapid swings of its extremely sharp sickle arms, those several Tang Li Xues were chopped into several pieces.

Those several Tang Li Xues were shattered into a puddle of water, but none of them were the real Tang Li Xue.

The Sapphire Wasp Queen watched as many other Tang Li Xues ran into several dark tunnels in different directions.

At first, the Sapphire Wasp Queen felt confused...

Then it decided to follow its extremely sharp sense of smell and tracked the one with the most pungent smell of blood.

Actually, all of Tang Li Xue's [Water Mirage] clones also have the smell of blood on their bodies, but the one who has the most pungent smell of blood was still the real Tang Li Xue!

The Sapphire Wasp Queen was quickly approaching the real Tang Li Xue again from behind!

"Huff... Huff... Huff... Cough, cough, this big insect is really annoying! How the hell it could know which one is the real me?!" Tang Li Xue complained in annoyance while she panted in exhaustion and coughed out several mouthfuls of blood.

Even her vision started to get blurred, and her limbs felt weaker.

It seemed that too much of her blood had been spilled on the way, so she was starting to become anemic.

Meanwhile, the Sapphire Wasp Queen already arrived right behind Tang Li Xue and raised its sharp sickle arm!

Several of Tang Li Xue's [Water Mirage] clones which were running along with the real ones, quickly jumped toward the Sapphire Wasp Queen!

It was the last desperate move to stall for one or two seconds of time...

SHRINGGG~!!!

With only one clean swift slash, those several [Water Mirage] clones crumbled into a puddle of water.

They could only buy time less than a half second for the real Tang Li Xue...

Just when the Sapphire Wasp Queen wanted to slash at Tang Li Xue's fragile looking back from behind, Little Loki suddenly opened its eerie dark eyes.

Little Loki swiftly jumped from Tang Li Xue's left shoulder to the top of her head while glaring back at the Sapphire Wasp Queen.

The Sapphire Wasp Queen was shocked, and it flew backward in a hurry to keep its distance from Little Loki.

What happened before was still fresh in the Sapphire Wasp Queen's mind!

The horror of almost getting swallowed alive by Little Loki before had become a nightmare for the Sapphire Wasp Queen.

The Sapphire Wasp Queen felt that only by killing Little Loki it could wash this fear and shame.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue's consciousness started to become fuzzy, but her survival instinct still urged her to keep running as fast as she could.

Fortunately, Little Loki woke up in time just now. If not, Tang Li Xue might have already been cut into two by Sapphire Wasp Queen's extremely sharp sickle arms!

Little Loki glanced worriedly at Tang Li Xue, but it did not have any spare time to ask about Tang Li Xue's condition right now.

Sapphire Wasp Queen might not dare to get close to Little Loki, but it still has many ways to attack both Little Loki and Tang Li Xue from afar!

While keeping its distance, the Sapphire Wasp Queen pointed its buttock toward Little Loki and Tang Li Xue.

Then it shot its sharp stinger toward Tang Li Xue's back!

But different from the sharp stinger of the ordinary Sapphire Armored Wasps, the Sapphire Wasp Queen's sharp stinger suddenly split into many sharp stingers in an instant!

This was one of Sapphire Wasp Queen's unique divine abilities, [Hail of Shadow Stinger]!

Little Loki was completely undaunted. It opened its tiny mouth and activated its most powerful ability.

[Heaven's Devour]!

Most of Sapphire Wasp Queen's sharp stingers were sucked into Little Loki's tiny mouth and became Little Loki's food.

However, some of the sharp stingers collided with the hive floor and wall.

BBOOOOOMM~!!! BBOOOOOMM~!!! BBOOOOOMM~!!!

The Sapphire Wasp Queen's sharp stingers actually created a chain of great explosions after they hit something!

Tang Li Xue's slender figure was blown forward by the explosion, and she instantly became more sober.

"What the hell is that?! Did that huge insect use the grenade or rocket launcher?" Tang Li Xue complained while gnashing her pearl-white teeth.

Despite her chatter, Tang Li Xue's feet did not stop sprinting forward.

But there was one more crucial problem that Tang Li Xue had realized just now...

Err... well... it seems that she got lost right now...

Tang Li Xue even felt that she was only running in circles all this time!

Little Loki seemed to be able to read Tang Li Xue's mind, and it immediately tapped at Tang Li Xue's head while protested to her: "MEOW~! Nyaow~!"

"Hey, hey, hey! It is not my fault, okay?! Who told these wasps to build such a complicated hive?! What's more, all of these tunnels and roads are so alike that they are hard to tell apart!" Tang Li Xue disagreed and tried to defend herself.

When Tang Li Xue and Little Loki were quarreling with each other, the Sapphire Wasp Queen mercilessly launched another attack toward them!

The Sapphire Wasp Queen shot its sharp stinger again, and it instantly split into many sharp stingers just like before.

[Hail of Shadow Stinger]!

However, the Sapphire Wasp Queen's target was not Tang Li Xue or Little Loki this time but the ceiling above their head!

BBOOOOOMM~!!! BBOOOOOMM~!!! BBOOOOOMM~!!!

A lot of debris started to fall from above like rain.

Tang Li Xue started to run in a zigzag pattern to avoid the debris, but she still had to decrease her speed a lot because of that.

The expression of Little Loki and Tang Li Xue looked grim.

Both of them quickly realized the Sapphire Wasp Queen's true objective by doing that.

Not only its action could slow them down or block their way to prevent them from leaving its hive, but by creating a huge commotion like this, it could quickly summon the rest of guarding Sapphire Armored Wasps.

Of course, Little Loki could also help Tang Li Xue by clearing the debris with its [Heaven's Devour] but overlooking the Sapphire Wasp Queen like that was the same as courting death.

It was unbelievable that a mere insect could have such a smart brain, unlike a certain fox... Little Loki thought as it felt slightly impressed with the Sapphire Wasp Queen's plan.
