Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN)

"These damn corpses~!" Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth as she unleashed her [Reflective Barrier] to block the spells thrown by several dried corpses at the back row of the formation.

The [Reflective Barrier] not only blocked the Flameballs, Wind Blades, Icicle Spikes, and so on which were shot toward Tang Li Xue, but it also reflected them back!

But the dried corpses on the front row of the formation immediately used their barrier spells and treasures to block it!

Their group formation was truly exquisite, and it was enough to make Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki have some difficulties fighting against them.

Unfortunately, it did not last long since Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki had already figured out how to break their group formation.

Little Loki activated its [Phantom Splitters], and its tiny black figure was split into ten identical figures, then all ten Little Lokis activated [Instant Teleportation] at the same time!

Ten Little Lokis instantly appeared right behind the rearmost part of the formation, and they began to launch a fatal sudden attack on those corpses!

[Flash and Slash]~!

[Scythe Claw Qi]~!

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

Ten Little Lokis cut the corpses on the rearmost part of the formation rapidly like cutting off vegetables!

Those corpses did not even have any time to react at all. Maybe it was because those corpses could no longer think, and they could only fight based on the instinct engraved on their body when they lived.

When the dried corpses' battle formation was in disarray, Tang Li Xue and Yaya quickly took this chance to deliver the finishing blow at them!

[Sword Art of Mystic Harmony], Tracing Counter!

Tang Li Xue swiftly stabbed the black [Sword of Disaster] in her grasp rapidly until she managed to stab the heads of those dried corpses.

When many of them fell down because of Tang Li Xue's [Tracing Counter], Yaya immediately unleashed her [Vacuum Slash] to tear them apart to pieces!

Even though they could use more forceful ways to break their formation such as using [Cyclone Storm], [Sun Dragon Fiery Eyes], or [Sun Form Domain Prototype], but Tang Li Xue and Yaya did not dare to use it inside this palace.

They still needed to find the precious treasures containing star energies inside this place after all.

If they accidentally tore down or burned down this entire palace because of it, they could only cry in vain since they might no longer be able to find those precious treasures with star energies here.

After the corpses' battle formation completely collapsed, Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki defeated the rest of the corpses easily.

Tang Li Xue stared at the dried corpses that had already been torn to pieces on the ground and sighed in regret: "Aiss, it is really such a great pity~! It would be very nice if I could subdue all of these dried corpses and make them part of my zombie army."

Unfortunately, it clearly could not be done that easily...

Tang Li Xue had already done a lot of trials and tests in using her [Sword of Disaster] to catch more than a hundred zombie creatures in order to form her personal zombie army before, so she managed to find a few important 'rules' about it.

First, the strength of the zombies, corpses, and ghosts could not be higher than her, since she would not be strong enough to store them into her [Sword of Disaster].

Second, she had to suppress or immobilize them first before she could store them in her [Sword of Disaster].

Third, she could also inject the Death Energy from the [Sword of Disaster] into any skeletons or corpses to turn them into zombie-like creatures.

Fourth, Death Energy from the [Sword of Disaster] was like a tonic for death creatures like zombies, corpses, and ghosts. Not only they could restore their incomplete bodies and get stronger by absorbing the Death Energy, but they would also get smarter over time if continuously nurtured by Death Energy.

Well, there were still several more detailed rules, but those two were the most crucial ones.

Especially the second rule was the main reason why Tang Li Xue could not just catch these dried corpses and store them in her [Sword of Disaster] just like that.

"Death Energy can turn corpses to turn them into zombies... I wonder if the creatures in this Secret Realm turned into zombies because there is Death Energy here? Then where does Death Energy in this Secret Realm come from?" Tang Li Xue murmured her suspicion.

But Tang Li Xue immediately shook her head to push away her thought while saying: "Forget it... The most important thing for me to do right now is to find enough precious treasures with star energy, so I can evolve to [Rare] Grade Beast as soon as possible."

"After I evolved to [Rare] Grade Beast, my overall strength would increase dramatically, and I might even reach the Apex Predator Level genius fox. At that time, I can look for more treasures, catch more powerful zombie creatures, and even find the mystery behind the destruction of this ancient sect later." Tang Li Xue stated confidently.

"Nyaaaaw~!"

"Yaaa~!"

Little Loki and Yaya headed back toward Tang Li Xue which broke Tang Li Xue's thought.

Yaya smiled sweetly as she flew and sat on Tang Li Xue's shoulder, while Little Loki put on its usual cute smug expression.

Tang Li Xue giggled at the two of them and caressed their head gently while praising them: "Good job, Little Loki, Yaya~! But there should be more dangers ahead, so we must not lower our guards yet, do you two understand?"

"Meoow~!" "Yayaaa~!" (Understood~!)

Tang Li Xue smiled in satisfaction as she pitched their cheeks lightly and encouraged them by saying: "Good~! Then I will be counting on you two again later."

After advising and encouraging Little Loki and Yaya for a while, Tang Li Xue quickly led the two of them to enter deeper into the Medicine Garden Palace.

When they reached the long corridor, they once again saw many dried corpses littered on the floor.

CRACKLE~! CRACKLE~! CRACKLE~!

All of the dried corpses on the ground twitched violently, and they quickly stood up as if they could sense the living breath full of vitality from Tang Li Xue and her group and wanted to devour their flesh and blood as soon as possible.

"Sigh~! Again, huh... Just how many dried corpses are in this place?!" Tang Li Xue complained in annoyance.

The dried corpses swiftly arranged their battle formation and began to attack Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki in unison.

But Lang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki had already prepared, so they effortlessly blocked or dodged their attacks.

By repeating the previous strategy, Lang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki easily broke their battle formation apart and cut them to pieces, so they would never be able to revive and fight again.

Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki continued to explore the Medicine Garden Palace, but this Medicine Garden Palace was very big, and it even had three floors.

Basement, first floor, and second floor...

Every time Tang Li Xue and her group stepped into a new room or area, they would be attacked by a group of dried corpses again and again.

Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki might be able to defeat them easily, but it was just too tiring to do it over and over again.

There might be thousands of dried corpses of cultivators in this Medicine Garden Palace.

Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki clearly would not be able to clear all of those thousands of dried corpses even if they spent a whole week in this Medicine Garden Palace.

Not to mention Tang Li Xue definitely did not want to waste so much of her time and energy just to clean the dried corpses here.

The frustrated Tang Li Xue took out the [Treasure Map] from her System's storage to see if she could find any clue about the exact location of the precious treasures with star energies in this Medicine Garden Palace.

Luckily, Tang Li Xue found out that she could actually zoom in on the deep red dot in the [Treasure Map] to find the exact location of the precious treasures with star energies.

"Damn it, so this [Treasure Map] can even do this?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.

But Tang Li Xue immediately bumped into another problem...

The treasure location on the [Treasure Map] was shown from above while this Medicine Garden Palace has three floors in total.

In short, they might have already known the exact location of the precious treasures, but they still did not have any clue if the precious treasures were located in the basement, first floor, or second floor.

Tang Li Xue did not have a choice other than checking the floor one by one.

"That is all right. At least, we know the exact location of the treasures. Let's go, Little Loki, Yaya~!" Tang Li Xue could only try to comfort herself.

They were currently still on the first floor, so Tang Li Xue decided to check the first floor first.

But when they were heading toward the location of the treasures on the first floor, they bumped into another strange zombie creature in the big hall at the center of the Medicine Garden Palace.

"CHIIIIIRRPP~!"

It was actually a giant crane as tall as more than ten meters!

The swirling wind quickly gathered on its wide wings which were as white as snow.

But the most disturbing thing was that there was a huge rotten hole filled with puss and maggots in the giant crane's chest.

"Sigh~! Another annoying zombie creature..." Tang Li Xue murmured while taking a deep breath dejectedly.
