836 Chapter 836: Powerful Zombie Mermen!

Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones chopped dozens of immobilized zombie mermen to pieces easily in only a few breaths of time!

Unfortunately, there were still a few zombie mermen that could escape from Little Loki's [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] immobilizing effect since their position was on the edge of the [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation]'s radius.

They were inside the narrow long cave corridor after all, so it made sense that not all the army of zombie mermen could enter the cave corridor.

"SCREEEECCH~!"

The survived zombie mermen suddenly let out an ear-piercing shrieking sound!

"Damn it~! Quickly shut them up, Little Loki~!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy hastily urged Little Loki while she was still hanging on the cave's ceiling and harvesting [100,000 years Stalactite Essense] with the compressed white sword created from [Energy Manipulation] in her grasp.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not even need to think too much to conclude that those zombie mermen should be shrieking to call for more reinforcement!

Before Tang Li Xue's perfect copy warned it, Little Loki had already controlled its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to silence those surviving zombie mermen!

[Instant Teleportation]~!

Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones instantly appeared around the surviving zombie mermen and unleashed their [Scythe Claw Qi] in unison!

More than a dozen surviving zombie mermen clearly could not dodge or escape from the [Scythe Claw Qi] that came from all directions at once!

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

More than a dozen surviving zombie mermen got torn apart by [Scythe Claw Qi] without any chance to resist!

Unfortunately, Little Loki moved a bit too late since those zombie mermen already managed to let out an ear-piercing shrieking for a few moments before Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones finished all of them off.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy gritted her pearl-white teeth as she activated her [Wings of Freedom] buff!

In that instant, her movement speed had increased several times!

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy knew that the zombie mermen's reinforcement would come here really soon, so she could only increase her harvesting speed, so she could take away all [100,000 years Stalactite Essense] as soon as possible before the zombie mermen's reinforcement come!

But it was not that easy to harvest the [100,000 years Stalactite Essense] since it was attached so firmly to the cave's ceiling.

When Tang Li Xue's perfect copy only managed to harvest more than half of the [100,000 years Stalactite Essense], she had already heard the rough sounds of footsteps coming closer toward the narrow long cave corridor!

The zombie mermen's reinforcement had actually come faster than Tang Li Xue's perfect copy expected!

Without any need for Tang Li Xue's perfect copy to say anything, Little Loki already knew that it had to prevent the zombie mermen's reinforcement from coming here and buying time for Tang Li Xue's perfect copy until she harvested all [100,000 years Stalactite Essense].

So, Little Loki immediately led its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones toward the end of the narrow long cave corridor to face the zombie mermen's reinforcement!

"Go, Little Loki~! I am counting on you, my cutie~!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy enthusiastically encouraged Little Loki.

Little Loki could only roll its eyes, but it still smugly puffed its chest without realizing it.

It did not take long for Little Loki and its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to bump head-on with the zombie mermen's reinforcement!

The number of zombie mermen's reinforcement was not as many as Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and Little Loki's imagined, maybe only around forty to fifty.

But their types seemed even more varying than the previous low-level mermen!

There were around ten five-meter burly purple mermen with half of their bodies still in fish form, their bodies covered in thick armor-like scales, and they moved slithering like snakes. Each of them also held a heavy bone halberd.

There were also ten female versions of mermen. They had green scales covering their entire bodies, half of their body also in fish form, but different from the burly purple mermen, these female mermen had six arms holding sharp blades in each of her hands and slender bodies.

With just one glance, anyone could tell that neither the burly purple mermen nor the female green mermen were easy to mess with!

WEEEEENG~!

Little Loki hastily activated its [Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] without any hesitation to restrain the army of mermen!

The movement of all low-level mermen was halted in that instant!

But the burly purple mermen and the female green mermen were not affected much except for their speed was slowed down to a certain extent.

Just like before, Little Loki did not plan to get closer to any of those stinky mermen, so it only controlled its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to attack those mermen!

[Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi]~!

Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones rushed forward and entered the crowd of mermen without any fear, then unleashing their attack wantonly to kill everyone in their sight!

PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!

Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones easily diced the immobilized low-level mermen, but it was not the case with the burly purple mermen and the female green mermen!

Surprisingly, all of their attacks failed to cut through the burly purple mermen's armor-like scales and tough muscular body, while the female green mermen managed to slippery dodge all of their attacks!

Then the burly purple mermen stomped their bone halberd onto the ground heavily!

BOOOOOOMM~!

The violent shockwave from that move stunned all of Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones and made them thrown off scatteredly in all directions!

The female green mermen took this chance to swiftly rush forward as the sharp blades in their six arms danced around wildly but accurately cut all of Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones to pieces!

Powerful, fast, and neat...

Little Loki's usual lazy expression changed to solemn as it realized that this army of mermen was much more troublesome than it had imagined.

The previous army of mermen only has strength comparable to the dried corpses in the Medicine Garden Palace, except that they have water bullet spells and bone spear weapons.

But this current army of mermen... especially those burly purple mermen and female green mermen, each of them has the strength equal to the giant crane from the Medicine Garden Palace.

Moreover, these burly purple mermen and female green mermen have impeccable coordination with each other as if it was already ingrained in their bones. It seemed they should have trained it diligently every day for a very long time when they were still alive.

Little Loki recognized their strength, thus it decided to fight them even more seriously.

Before those mermen could rush toward it, Little Loki's tiny furry body suddenly swelled as it finally unleashed its Battle Form!

The tiny Little Loki transformed into the three-meter tall imposing figure covered with pitch-black shiny scales.

A pair of glinted sharp black horns on its forehead, a pair of strong black wings on its back, and its extremely dense evil black aura made it look even more dreadful and intimidating than ever.

In that instant, Little Loki's nine [Phantom Splitter] clones that had been cut into tiny pieces by the female green mermen turned into black smoke, then solidified again into nine identical Little Lokis in its Battle Form!

.....

When Little Loki's battle against the powerful army of mermen entered the second phase, the worried Tang Li Xue's perfect copy urged the real Tang Li Xue to help instead.

"Hey, what the heck are you doing?! Can you just stop playing with those snakes and come here to help me and Little Loki?!" The perfect copy angrily questioned Tang Li Xue.

"Ei, shut up~! Do you really think these snakes are easy to deal with?! If we do not clean them up right now, we will still deal with them later after we get the treasures and get out of that underwater cave!" Tang Li Xue replied in a displeasure tone.

"You did not deliberately fight for too long against those snakes just because you did not want to fight against those stinky mermen, right?" The perfect copy asked in a suspicious tone.

Tang Li Xue: "...."

"Hey, hey, hey... What is wrong with that long pause?! So, you really deliberately..." The perfect copy resentful said to the real Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue hastily denied it before she could finish her words.

"Of course... not~! I really have so much difficulty fighting against these snakes, okay?! Why don't we just switch, and I will let you try to fight against these snakes instead right now?!" Tang Li Xue tried very hard to deny it.

Perfect copy's pink lips twitched in aggrieved.

Without merging with [Golden Winged Serpent], how could she fight underwater against those huge snakes like the real Tang Li Xue?!

Actually, it was true that the real Tang Li Xue was really having some difficulties fighting against the group of huge snakes right now, but it did not mean that she really had no way of winning against them quickly.

From her [Regalia of Eclipse] to her [Sun Dragon Fiery Eyes]... She could also cancel her Human Transfiguration Form and transform back to her Fox Form to regain her full strength.

But she did not use any of them yet since the unbearable foul stench from those mermen was truly lethal for her sharp fox nose that had already been enhanced further with [Extrasensory Perception].

The smell of the dried corpses and the other zombie creatures was already bad enough, but she could still clench her teeth and bear with them.

However, the unbearable foul stench from those mermen was many times worse than dried corpses and the other zombie creatures!
