Reincarnated As a Fox With System

"Oh, no... Then I should get away here quickly before they got resurrected!" Tang Li Xue's expression changed into panic as she immediately ran away further from the Heaven Edge Sword as if she were avoiding the plague.

But she suddenly halted her step as she excitedly realized something.

"Wait a minute... They should be in their weakest state right now, so why should I be afraid of them? On the contrary, isn't this my best chance to capture them with my [Sword of Disaster]?!" Tang Li Xue muttered in an excited tone with a silly smile on her innocent face.

Tang Li Xue hastily turned around and vigilantly approached the cracked Heaven Edge Sword again.

After she was only one step away from the Heaven Edge Sword, Tang Li Xue canceled her [Ethereal Form] and took out her pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] from her space pouch.

"I wonder if this Heaven Edge Sword can be stored inside my [Sword of Disaster]'s space just like those zombies and ghosts? I hope it will really work." Tang Li Xue secretly prayed in her heart.

If the Heaven Edge Sword can be stored inside the [Sword of Disaster]'s space, it means the old man and the scary woman would be trapped inside [Sword of Disaster]'s space after they got resurrected.

With the [Sword of Disaster]'s third effect, Tang Li Xue was 100% sure that both the old man and the scary woman could be tamed. Of course, it would take much longer than those ordinary zombies, but Tang Li Xue had enough patience if she could really get two extremely powerful bodyguards for free.

(3rd Effect of [Sword of Disaster]: Storing the corpses and souls of dead creatures. All the dead creatures stored inside will be nurtured with Death Energy and strengthen over time. They will also become more loyal and obedient to the holder over time.)

Since Tang Li Xue was still in her fox form, she could only hold the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] with her little paws and poke the Heaven Edge Sword gently with her [Sword of Disaster].

Who knew that the Heaven Edge Sword really entered the [Sword of Disaster]'s space without even the slightest resistance?!

"Success~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in shock because she could not believe that she could actually do it so easily.

Tang Li Xue's blue topaz eyes were shining brightly like a pair of stars.

She hugged her [Sword of Disaster] excitedly while laughing insanely in delight for a while.

Her delight was no less than when she caught two legendary poke... cough, I mean two legendary beasts for the first time in her previous life.

The cracked Heaven Edge Sword and the black energy that shrouded the Heaven Edge Sword greedily absorbed the Death Energy inside the [Sword of Disaster]'s space.

With the nurturing effect of the Death Energy, the time needed for their recovery would be shortened greatly.

Tang Li Xue was really looking forward to the day they were completely recovered and tamed by the [Sword of Disaster]'s space since it meant she would have two extremely powerful thugs under her command!

When Tang Li Xue was still lost in her happiness, her silver furry body suddenly shuddered violently.

She stopped laughing and grinning as she tilted her head in confusion.

"What is wrong? Why do I abruptly feel cold and uncomfortable?" Tang Li Xue muttered in suspicion.

"Oh, well... It should be because of this eerie place. Let's just get out of this ominous place as soon as possible." Tang Li Xue said as she put away her [Sword of Disaster] into her space pouch and activated her [Ethereal Form] again.

Then she quickly ran away in fright from that place using her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].

Tang Li Xue had not realized that there was a strange creature shrouded in a black fog-like energy stalking closely at her just now.

Under the night sky, the strange creature was completely inconspicuous even when it stood tall in front of the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

But it made sense since the strength difference between Tang Li Xue and this strange creature was too far apart like the distance between heaven and earth.

When Tang Li Xue felt cold and uncomfortable, the strange creature was actually staring at her judgingly for a few moments.

However, it immediately lost its interest in Tang Li Xue after it sensed Tang Li Xue's current level.

Tang Li Xue was only a demonic beast or [Uncommon]-grade beast in the strange creature's eyes.

Even the almost exhausted energy contained in Tang Li Xue's body was too weak to attract its appetite.

Let alone filling its stomach, eating Tang Li Xue would not even enough to fill the gap between its teeth.

It could be said that Tang Li Xue was really lucky this time because the strange creature was not interested in her at all, or it would be hard to say if she could remain alive tonight under the 'care' of this strange creature.

The strange creature stared greedily at the direction of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] while licking its sharp teeth.

Then the strange creature instantly disappeared as it flashed toward the direction of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] in the speed faster than lightning.

.....

After running away until several hundred of miles away from the ruined Medicine Garden Palace, Tang Li Xue finally sighed in relief.

She also saw more than a dozen of exploration team members heading toward the ruined Medicine Garden Palace instead, but she decided to not show herself and greet them.

Tang Li Xue still felt doubtful that the nine Radiant Star Fruits would be enough for her evolution to [Rare]-Grade beast, but even if they were enough, she still needed some time alone and the right place to evolve into the [Rare]-Grade beast in this Secret Realm.

'I hope they will not recklessly look for the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] after they reach the Medicine Garden Palace. That damned [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] should still be very pissed off after I managed to steal all of its fruits, so it will definitely kill everyone it sees.' Tang Li Xue could only secretly hope in her heart.

Even though she felt really worried about the safety of those exploration team members, but her evolution to the [Rare]-

Grade beast was still the first priority.

There was really no way she would give up on her evolution to the [Rare]-Grade beast just to become a nanny for those exploration team members!

On her way, she also saw many zombified creatures such as zombie wolves, zombie rats, zombie hyenas, and so on, but they could no longer attract Tang Li Xue's interest anymore after she managed to catch two legendary... zombie creatures from the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

After she had run quite far away from the ruined Medicine Garden Palace, Tang Li Xue was already very exhausted because of the continuous fierce battle against the scary woman in the fancy red dress, the old man with Heaven Edge Sword, and the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree].

Tang Li Xue decided to dig a cave under the valley using her [Earth Mother's Gift] to control the stone and soil easily.

Then Tang Li Xue created a stone wall to cover the cave entrance after she entered the cave and made it as natural as possible, so no one would notice that there was a hidden cave here.

Inside the dark cave, Tang Li Xue immediately fell asleep in great exhaustion.

.....

At this time, more than a dozen exploration team members had already gathered near the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

However, Tang Li Xue was clearly worried too much since almost all of the exploration team members had rich experience in exploring ruins or secret realms, so how could they blindly enter the ruined Medicine Garden Palace without investigating the danger inside it carefully?!

Currently, the exploration team members are still setting some formations around the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

Then they controlled several puppets to inspect the interior of the ruined Medicine Garden Palace, so if there were really any dangers inside, only their puppets would be sacrificed.

After one hour or so, Instructor Mei Lan's team and Teacher Li Wei's team also arrived at the location of the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

The other exploration team members at the ruined Medicine Garden Palace immediately greeted them politely.

"How about it? Have you found out the source of the previous pillar of light?" Teacher Li Wei asked with a solemn expression.

The exploration team members' flattering expressions also turned solemn as they immediately led Teacher Li Wei into the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

Instructor Mei Lan was not really familiar with anyone from the exploration team except Teacher Li Wei, so she did not talk much and just followed Teacher Li Wei closely from behind.

Surprisingly, the exploration team members actually led Teacher Li Wei and Instructor Mei Lan into the almost collapsed treasure space on the second floor of the ruined Medicine Garden Palace.

Unlike the previous treasure space which looked amazingly beautiful like paradise, the current treasure space looked like land that had just been hit by a landslide and earthquake.

One of the exploration team members took something from the ground and showed it to Teacher Li Wei while explaining: "We suspect the source of the previous pillar of light should be from this."

"This is..." Teacher Li Wei muttered as he took the object given by the exploration team member and carefully examined it.

It was actually a shattered wood with a starry sky pattern.

Then Teacher Li Wei and the other exploration team members took a look at the huge hole right in front of them.

If Tang Li Xue was here, she would be agape in extreme shock since the location of that huge hole was the exact location of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] before, and the shattered wood with a starry sky pattern was actually from the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s trunk.

It was truly hard to believe that the extremely powerful 90,000-year-old [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] could be beaten and uprooted by someone!
