780 Chapter 780: Two Routes!

.....

Meanwhile, after all the participants including Tang Li Xue, Silly Fox, and Instructor Mei Lan entered the mysterious door, they actually arrived at a narrow cave.

The cave was not dark since there were torches on the right and left sides of the narrow cave. It was just the atmosphere of this narrow cave was quite creepy and gloomy.

The party host girl did not explain anything to them before, so they could only explore the narrow cave and proceed forward carefully.

On the way, Tang Li Xue suddenly halted her step as her [Extrasensory Perception] faintly sensed something dangerous in front of them.

Instructor Mei Lan must have also sensed the danger ahead with her [Sonar], so she secretly pulled the back of Silly Fox's collar to stop him.

But their group seemed to reach a tacit understanding to not mention anything to warn the other participants.

Then the stone floor under the other participants' feet suddenly sunk!

"What~?!" Some of them exclaimed in surprise.

Bing Shui acted the fastest as she condensed a pair of ice wings to fly!

Bing Shui immediately flapped her ice wings rapidly as she rushed forward to catch the falling Zi Yan, so only the young fox girl who previously obtained [Magma Crystal Ore] fell into that hole!

The hole in the floor quickly closed again, but if anyone tried to step on top of it, they would surely still fall into the hole.

CLACK~!

Instructor Mei Lan leisurely snapped her fingers, then her slender figure instantly crossed the closed hole in the floor and appeared tens of meters away from her previous location as if she had just teleported.

Tang Li Xue condensed a flying disc below her feet with her [Energy Manipulation] and easily flew past through the closed hole in the floor.

While Silly Fox's body was shrouded in the black [Lightning of Destruction], and he flashed side by side with Tang Li Xue.

The final round of the contest had just begun, but one of the participants actually got eliminated so early.

Of course, no one really cared about the fox girl who got eliminated early, but it surely made them even more wary of the road ahead of them.

After proceeding their way carefully for more than ten minutes, the narrow cave was split into two routes.

There was something written on the top of each route.

On the left route, it was written 'Death'.

On the right route, it was written 'Life'.

"Life and Death?" Tang Li Xue frowned after she read the words written on the top of each route.

Silly Fox scratched the back of his head in confusion and asked: "Which route we should take?"

Instructor Mei Lan did not immediately answer as she pondered carefully.

But Zi Yan chuckled mockingly at them as she walked toward the 'Life' route while saying in a tone filled with confidence: "Obviously, the 'Life' route should be safer~! "

Bing Shui followed Zi Yan closely from behind, so both of them took the 'Life' route.

"Let's go! We only need to follow them from behind. Just let them open the way for us first and explore the danger ahead of us." Instructor Mei Lan said as she also took the 'Life' route.

But after the three of them took the 'Life' route...

BAAAANG~!

A stone gate suddenly fell and completely sealed the 'Life' route before Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox could react!

Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched as she muttered: "It seems we can only take the 'Death' route right now... I hope the danger ahead will not be too hard for us to solve."

Instead of feeling afraid or confused, Silly Fox became even more excited since he could finally be alone with Tang Li Xue.

He patted his chest and said to Tang Li Xue in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry, Xue~! With me here, I will guarantee nothing can hurt you!"

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied: "It would be more than enough if you did not do anything to put us in danger."

"How could I do that?!" Silly Fox exclaimed in disagreement, but Tang Li Xue already walked into the 'Death' route without paying any attention to Silly Fox's reply.

In the 'Death' route, Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox actually faced many traps, but they were only superficial traps such as hidden arrows, invisible wires, landmines, trap holes, and so on.

With Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox's current strength, those traps were no longer enough to harm them, so they easily solved those traps with their divine abilities.

After fifteen minutes or so, both Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox reached huge double-stone gates.

"So, we finally reach the Boss Room, huh..." Tang Li Xue muttered in a solemn expression.

"What does Boss Room mean?" Silly Fox asked curiously.

"A sacred room where the most powerful creature in a certain dungeon dwells. If we want to complete the dungeon and obtain the loot, we need to defeat the boss." Tang Li Xue explained seriously.

"I see~! As long as we can defeat the boss in this room, we can win this contest, right?" Silly Fox nodded as he randomly concluded.

"Err, maybe so... All right, stop asking and just open that door! Make sure to be really careful!" Tang Li Xue said as she pushed Silly Fox forward.

Silly Fox carefully pushed open the stone gates and entered the big empty room, while Tang Li Xue followed him from behind.

Both Silly Fox and Tang Li Xue only saw an enormous fox stone statue in the middle of the room.

"Wow, this statue looks so lifelike." Silly Fox nonchalantly approached the enormous fox stone statue.

But the eyes of the enormous fox stone statue suddenly lighted up in green light!

"Watch out, you idiot~!" Tang Li Xue shouted out loud to warn Silly Fox.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too late...

BOOOOOOOOOMMM~!

The enormous fox stone statue swung one of its four tails and struck Silly Fox heavily until he was thrown back hundreds of meters and crashed onto the wall!

Silly Fox embedded deep into the wall, but he slowly crawled out from the wall.

He coughed a few mouthfuls of blood as he slipped down from the wall and fell onto the floor.

Tang Li Xue could sense a huge amount of threat from the enormous fox stone statue with her [Extrasensory Perception], so she immediately decided to go all out from the very start.

Tang Li Xue hastily unleashed her [Sun Domain] prototype without any hesitation!

A brilliant golden light shone as a faint image of the sun formed behind her!

Tang Li Xue also condensed a pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] and [Sun Dragon Fang].

The enormous fox stone statue's attention instantly focused on Tang Li Xue, and it swung two of its four stone tails toward her!

Tang Li Xue solidified a huge heavy flame hammer with the combination of her [Energy Manipulation], Profound Law of Heat, and Flame of Pride.

then she let her [Sun Dragon Claws] and [Sun Dragon Fang] hold and swing it against the incoming two stone tails!

"Let's see if my hammer or your tail is harder!" Tang Li Xue murmured coldly.

BAAAAAAANGG~!

Who knew that it was Tang Li Xue's huge heavy flame hammer that was shattered instead?!

Even her [Sun Dragon Claws] and [Sun Dragon Fang] were broken apart by the enormous fox stone statue's tail attack!

Despite that, she only managed to repel one of the two incoming stone tails, so Tang Li Xue still had to defend against the other stone tail attack!

Tang Li Xue quickly activated [Reflective Barrier] and created a transparent barrier with her [Energy Manipulation] to defend herself!

BOOOOOOOOMM~!

Both her [Reflective Barrier] and transparent barrier were shattered so easily like fragile porcelain, and Tang Li Xue was slid backward dozens of meters.

Even though Tang Li Xue was in a better situation than Silly Fox, who had received the stone tail strike bluntly on the face, because both of her defensive barriers had decreased the power of the stone tail strike, but she was still actually injured by it.

So powerful~!

'Damn it~! This statue is actually overwhelmingly strong~! Silly Fox, this is not the time for us to hold back! Let's go all out now!" Tang Li Xue said to Silly Fox as she tried to take [Talisman of Regeneration] from her space pouch and use it on herself and Silly Fox.

But her space pouch actually could not be opened here!

Tang Li Xue could only sigh while complaining: "I know this last round of contest would not be that easy..."

It was clear that there was some kind of prohibition preventing them from using any external items or objects in this space, so they could only rely on their pure strength and abilities!

Tang Li Xue quickly canceled her human transfiguration and transformed back to her fox form so she could fight with her 100% strength.

Silly Fox also transformed from his human form to his black fox form, then he flashed angrily toward the enormous fox stone statue while his entire furry body was wrapped in black [Lightning of Destruction]!

"How dare you hurt Xue?!" Silly Fox angrily shouted as he activated his divine abilities.
