835 Chapter 835: Treasures With Inestimable Value!
Even Little Loki's tiny black furry body shuddered in horror when it recalled the unbearable foul stench from those zombified mermen.
Normally, almost all Taoties were not picky eaters, and they would just swallow everything greedily without leaving anything behind, but Little Loki was a special case since it was raised and pampered by Tang Li Xue since it was born.
Little Loki had only eaten high-quality beast cores and many other fragrant precious treasures so far, so how could it bear to swallow such stinky corpses and rotten mermen?!
Even humans could eat cockroaches and mice when they were too hungry, but if humans were already getting used to eating delicious foods cooked by five-star chefs every day, how could they bear to eat cockroaches and mice?!
So, it was not that strange that Taotie cub who always had an insatiable hunger, and was able to swallow everything like Little Loki became such a picky eater right now.
"Let's go, Little Loki~! We will hide first before they come!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy urged Little Loki as she activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible and conceal all of her traces.
Little Loki hastily followed Tang Li Xue's perfect copy as it also used its own skill to turn invisible.
Not long after Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and Little Loki hid in the corner of the underwater cave, the army of zombie mermen consisting of more than fifty rotten mermen came to check the location of their previous battle.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could actually wipe all of them out right now by ambushing them using [World-Destroying Lightning Dragon], but she decided not to do it.
There was no guarantee that there would be no more zombie mermen coming here after she wiped this batch out, so it would be better to just ignore them.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy brought Little Loki to sneak past the army of zombie mermen and head to the direction where they came from instead.
Of course, she would never forget to stick to the cave wall while stealthily walking past those stinky mermen to keep her distance against them while using her palms to cover her mouth and nose tightly.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and Little Loki entered a narrower long cave corridor.
The narrow long cave corridor was not dark at all.
On the contrary, not only was there fluorescence substance on the cave's wall but there were even beautiful shiny crystal stalagmites above.
Little Loki halted its step and looked up while its saliva was dripping out from its mouth.
When the perfect copy saw the beautiful shiny crystal stalagmites above the cave corridor, she immediately felt some familiarity with it as if she had already seen it before.
'Since Little Loki looks so greedy at them, it means those crystal stalagmites should be quite precious treasures, right?' The perfect copy concluded in her mind.
Out of curiosity, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy decided to activate her basic [All Knowing Eyes] to check the description of the shiny crystal stalagmites above the cave corridor.
---------------------------------------------
[100,000 years Stalagmite Essense]
[Description: Extremely precious Stalagmite Essence that has already aged for over 100,000 years.

It can also be used to enhance the taste of any kind of cooking. Any kind of food or drink with bad taste will become extremely delicious and unforgettable with only one drop of this 100,000-year-old Stalactite Milk.]

[Effect 2: Clearing all impurities in the body, Qi, and soul to reach Pure Natural Spirit Body.]
[Effect 3: Nourishing and strengthening the soul and body without any side effects.]
---------------------------------------------
"Holy cow~! 100,000 years Stalagmite Essense?!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy grasped in shock and disbelief.
She immediately understood where the sense of familiarity came from.
Previously, Zi Yan obtained something called [10,000 years Stalagmite Essense] from the fossil stone in a previous contest at the Myriad Foxes Academy.
At that time, the party host girl said that [10,000 years Stalagmite Essense]'s value was actually not much less than the fragment of divine treasure obtained by Silly Fox which left a deep impression in Tang Li Xue's mind.
But the one in front of her was not [10,000 years Stalagmite Essense], but [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense]!
Just because [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense] had ten times the age of [10,000 years Stalagmite Essense], it did not mean that the former was only 10 times more valuable than the latter.
According to its rarity and overall effects, [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense] should be more than just 100 times more precious than [10,000 years Stalagmite Essense].
It was too valuable to estimate that the perfect copy's brain was almost short-circuited when she thought about it.
She almost passed out in delight as she stared obsessively at the [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense]on the cave's ceiling.
"The value of this thing is inestimable!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy decided to stop thinking about the value and exclaimed in bliss.
"Wait a minute... The value of this thing should not be on the level of a mere light red dot, right?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked skeptically.
But it did not take long for her to understand the reason...
Tang Li Xue only wished for the [Treasure Map] to show the location of treasures with abundant star energies and the treasures with star energies hidden in this place were still far from being as precious as what she had found in the Medicine Garden Palace before.
"As I expect from the Secret Realm, there are so many precious treasures that can be found here~!" The perfect copy nodded her head while smiling joyfully.
She hastily canceled her [Ethereal Form] and used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a rope with a claw hook and a sword to cut or pry the [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense].
There was a flying ban formation in this Secret Realm after all, so it would be futile for Tang Li Xue's perfect copy to create something like a flying disc or any other kind of flying treasure with her [Energy Manipulation].
Of course, she could also create some kinds of throwing weapons with her [Energy Manipulation] and throw them at [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense] from below, but she would rather not do it since it might ruin the [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense] instead.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy threw the rope with a claw hook to the cave's wall and began to climb quickly.
Little Loki stared at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy strangely from below.
Well, it could actually use its [Phantom Splitters] to create nine clones first before using its [Instant Teleportation] and [Scythe Claw Qi] to harvest the [100,000 years Stalagmite Essense] quickly.
But since Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not say anything to ask for its help, Little Loki decided just to laze around instead.
Out of their expectations, the army of zombified mermen was actually coming back through the corridor cave again after they finished checking the previous location of the battle and failed to find anything suspicious!
That army of zombified mermen immediately noticed the perfect copy's rope when they walked in the corridor cave.
Just as they looked up, they instantly saw Tang Li Xue's perfect copy currently hanging on the cave's ceiling like a strayed monkey!
"Damn it~! How could they come back here at a time like this?!" The perfect copy cursed in annoyance.
Luckily, those zombie mermen could not fly to approach Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, so their unbearable foul stench could not reach her for now.
But those zombie mermen were not giving up as they shot the water arrow spells from their mouths rapidly at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy from below!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy who was currently hanging on the cave's ceiling clearly could not dodge their attack, so she could only use her defensive divine abilities to protect herself!
[Reflective Barrier]~!
Transparent Barrier created from [Energy Manipulation]~!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
The dozens of water arrow spells mercilessly struck the body of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy!
At first, some water arrow spells were reflected back by her [Reflective Barrier] and managed to injure some zombie mermen, but it did not affect them much since they could no longer feel any pain or have any fear of death.
It did not take long for her [Reflective Barrier] to crumble apart under the relentless assault of zombie mermen's water arrow spells!
"These damn bast*rd~! I am going to slaughter all of them first!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy said in a tone filled with rage.
But before she could jump down from the ceiling to face the army of zombie mermen, Little Loki had already made its moves first!
[Phantom Splitter]'s nine clones~!
[Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]~!
In that instant, more than fifty zombie mermen were instantly immobilized!
Little Loki's [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] might not be that useful against powerful foes like the previous scary moman in the fancy red dress, the old man with Heaven Edge Sword, or [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree], but it worked really well against weaker but numerous foes like these zombie mermen!
Little Loki might be really disgusted by the unbearable foul stench of these zombie mermen and did not dare to approach them since it has an extremely sharp sense of smell.
However, Little Loki could just let its nine clones tidy up those immobilized zombie mermen instead!
[Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi]~!
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
