Reincarnated As a Fox With System

859  Chapter 859: The Danger In The Pill And Elixir Room!

After Tang Li Xue and her team went out from the armory, they went back to the front hall first.

Tang Li Xue chatted for a while with Xiʼer, and she asked for more detailed information about the pill and elixir room from Xiʼer.

Unfortunately, Xiʼer really did not know much about the other rooms since her job was only to guard the front hall from the very start.

Xiʼer could not access even all the rooms other than the front hall, and she could only move freely in the front hall.

Tang Li Xue secretly felt disappointed, but she did not say or show it to Xiʼer in order not to make Xiʼer feel uncomfortable because of it.

Tang Li Xue bid farewell again to Xiʼer with a kind smile on her beautiful face to reassure Xiʼer before she led her team to climb the last stair in the middle of the front hall behind Xiʼer.

There were many rooms on the right and left side of the corridor after the stairs.

Those rooms seemed to be used for storing things such as foods and other miscellaneous things, but all of them were already eaten by time and completely decayed.

There was nothing precious stored there, so Tang Li Xue simply ignored all of those rooms and headed straight to the bronze gate at the end of the corridor.

Tang Li Xue did not want to repeat what happened at the armory, so she instructed Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia to stand aside from the bronze gate.

Then she let her perfect copy push open the bronze gate and enter the pill and elixir room first to make sure that it was really safe.

The perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes in displeasure at Tang Li Xueʼs unfair treatment, but she did not want to waste their time protesting or scolding Tang Li Xue.

They were only one step away from getting the precious treasures containing star energy stored in this underwater palace after all.

The perfect copyʼs desire to quickly evolve into [Rare]-Grade beast was not inferior to the real Tang Li Xue, so she chose to swallow her dissatisfaction this time and stretched her slender hands to carefully push open the bronze gate.

CREAK~!

The rusty bronze gate made a loud noise that echoed through the entire quiet corridor when Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy pushed it open.

The pill and elixir room was also dark and gloomy like the previous armory room, but Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy could still see everything clearly with their [Night Vision] skill.

Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy did not meet with any ambush or enemies after she stepped into the pill and elixir room, so the real Tang Li Xue reassuredly led her team to enter the pill and elixir room too.

Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue quickly noticed the strangeness of this pill and elixir room right after she stepped into it.

Yes, this pill and elixir room was actually filled with green vines. Not only on the ground below their feet but even the walls and ceiling were covered with so many green vines.

Tang Li Xue instantly felt a bad feeling about this and frowned deeply in worry.

”Little Loki, can you please use your [Phantom Splitter] to scout around this pill and elixir room first?” Tang Li Xue instructed Little Loki in a solemn tone.

Little Loki also sensed that something was not right with this room, so it immediately agreed and nodded its tiny furry head at Tang Li Xue.

Little Loki quickly summoned out its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones and ordered them to spread out and see if there were any dangers lurking in this pill and elixir room.

Once any of its [Phantom Splitter] clones bumped into any dangers, Little Loki would know it in an instant, and it could warn Tang Li Xue and the others beforehand.

There are so many tiered shelves in this pill and elixir rooms.

Countless bottles and wooden chests were stored on those tiered shelves.

Tang Li Xue tried to check the contents of those bottles and wooden chests, but she could only sigh in great disappointment.

Those bottles were used to store pills, while the wooden chests were used to store elixirs, herbs, and other alchemist materials.

Unfortunately, all of them had been completely spoiled or decayed after tens of thousands of years had passed.

Even many of those bottles and wooden chests were shattered to dust when Tang Li Xue tried to touch them.

”I hope the precious treasures with star energies I need are not spoiled yet... No, since the treasure map showed that there are precious treasures with star energies here, it means the precious treasures with star energies here should be still intact. It should be impossible for the treasure map produced by the System to be wrong.” Tang Li Xue muttered to convince herself.

Tang Li Xue decided to stop checking the bottles and wooden chests on the tiered shelves one by one and just headed deeper into the pill and elixir room.

She concluded that the most precious treasures should be stored in the deepest part of the room just like the previous three treasures stored in the armory.

Of course, Tang Li Xue did not rashly bring her team there without knowing the danger hidden in the deepest part of the room, so she could only urge her perfect copy and Little Lokiʼs [Phantom Splitter] clones to probe the way in front of them to be safe.

After five minutes or so, Tang Li Xue and her team finally reached the deepest part of the pill and elixir room without bumping into any dangers.

There was actually a small herbal garden there!

This small herbal garden should be used to plant the most precious herbs or plants, so those mermen could harvest their fruits, leaves, flower petals, or other precious parts of those plants once they reached harvest time.

However, Tang Li Xue only saw one type of plant in the current small herbal garden.

Yes, the small herbal garden was completely filled with the ʼoverflowingʼ strange green vines.

Those strange green vines were too lush that they spilled out from the small herbal garden until they covered the entire pill and elixir room!

Tang Li Xueʼs bad feelings had gotten much worse when she saw the strange green vines in this small herbal garden.

She really did not want to step into the small herbal garden, but her hunch said that she could only find the precious treasures containing the star energy she wanted in this place.

Tang Li Xueʼs perfect copy took a deep breath and gritted her pearl-white teeth before she stepped into the small herbal garden.

But just as she stepped onto the strange green vines in the small herbal garden, she could feel that the strange green vines under her feet seemed to tremble slightly!

”Err, it might be only my feeling, but I think these strange green vines...” Before the perfect copy could finish her words, all of the strange green vines inside the pill and elixir room were actually moving at the same time!

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

The strange green vines under their feet suddenly coiled around their legs to prevent them from moving around or running away!

Those strange green vines even wanted to completely bind their bodies while the strange green vines on the ceiling moved down to strangling their necks!

Of course, Tang Li Xue, her perfect copy, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia would not let them do it just like that!

[Moonlight Flash]~!

[Scythe Claw Qi]~!

[Compressed Wind Blades]~!

[Blade Feather Slash]~!

Tang Li Xue and her team cut those strange green vines with their skills to free themselves!

But those strange green vines remained unaffected since they could actually grow back again in the blink of an eye, not to mention that their numbers were too numerous!

”Damn it~! Should we just use our flames to burn down all of these annoying vines at once?!” The perfect copy suggested in an annoyed tone.

However, Tang Li Xue immediately rejected her idea by saying: ”No way~! What if we accidentally burn down the precious treasures with star energy too?! All of our efforts would be in vain by then!”

”Then what should we do?! There are just too many of them! Our two hands definitely not enough to cut down all of them!” The perfect copy anxiously asked.

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and asked Little Loki instead: ”Little Loki, can you sense the location of the treasures with star energy?”

Little Loki immediately nodded its head at Tang Li Xue.

”Great~! Now, quickly lead us there! Once we get the treasures with star energy, we can just use our flames to burn down all of these annoying vines!” Tang Li Xue delightfully said.

Unfortunately, it was really easy for her to say it, but it was definitely not an easy thing to do!

Those strange green vines were not only too numerous but they were also scattered everywhere!

Ceiling, floor, and walls... They were completely everywhere in this pill and elixir room!

Tang Li Xue and her team would step on them every step of the way, and those strange green vines could sense them because of it!

Then they would crazily launch the crazy attack on them at once after that!

Even an elephant could get killed by hundreds of thousands of ants, and these strange green vines were clearly much stronger than ants, their number might even reach tens of millions! Tang Li Xue and her team already had to face so many strange green vines, and it was only the beginning! (>w
