Chapter 258 She vowed to follow Mist Blade Moon Emperor to the death!
Yu Xunge's brain raced as he considered countermeasures. He pulled out Meteorite and unleashed a Rain of Hatred followed by several Explosive Arrows at Xiangcao, whose health was slowly recovering in the distant magic circle, instantly depleting her health.
At the moment Xiangcao died, Yu Xunge noticed a faint red glow covering his skin, but there was no time to examine it closely.
She began to search around, but unfortunately, each shelf was protected by wing-like lights and shadows. At this moment, a rustling sound could be heard outside the store, like countless acorns falling on withered leaves. This was the unique alarm sound of the Oak Owl.
Yu Xunge turned off the energy-saving mode of his exploration skill and searched every nook and cranny of the store. As he passed a corner, he casually picked up an empty can whose 2-minute skill time had already expired. Finally, he saw the words "Dark Room" on a shelf above a display case.
Yu Xunge raised her hand and fired several magic missiles. The container was pushed aside by the fluctuations of the skill, revealing the secret passage behind it. Yu Xunge separated her shadow and sent it into the secret passage to find out if there was an exit. Her main body walked to the corpse and picked up the thing that the other party dropped after death - a small bear biscuit - and stuffed the Blue Star Mahjong that had not been successfully traded into Vanilla's palm.
The rustling sound grew more and more intense, coming from all directions; she was being surrounded.
While sensing what the shadow saw and felt as it entered the basement, Yu Xunge drank a bottle of [Melting Time] to reset the cooldown time of all her skills to zero.
Using the item's disguise skill, I changed my ID to "Flea" and my health to 1/1. Then, I transformed into a small spider and quickly crawled into the ear of the vanilla corpse.
In the dark room, the shadow that had found nothing vanished completely as she used her Animagus ability.
Yu Xunge clung tightly to the ear hair of the Oak Owl shop owner, calmed her breathing, closed her eyes, and minimized her presence.
She didn't want to use the extremely precious and rare escape gem unless absolutely necessary.
She had previously mentioned wanting to buy this gem from Hufflepuff, but the latter quoted an exorbitant price of five thousand gold coins. Zhao Shuying often claimed that she was robbing people, but that was because she had never seen Hufflepuff. Compared to Hufflepuff, could hers be called robbery? Hers was just cost price!
A few seconds later, the shop door was opened, and a dense chorus of footsteps grew closer. Some stopped beside the corpse, while others continued forward, chasing into the secret room. Yu Xunge was even prepared to be forced into Animagus form at any moment and use the Fire Spirit Ring to withstand a fatal blow.
The next second, she saw through the ear hole that Vanilla's arm was kicked open, and a bare foot kicked open Vanilla's palm, causing the mahjong pieces inside to roll out of her palm.
A pleasant chuckle rang out, and a bare foot gently stepped onto the mahjong tile, as if stepping on a flower or a leaf. The sole of the foot landed softly, and the mahjong tile was silently crushed into powder.
Just then, footsteps sounded from the direction of the dark room; the group of oak owls who had entered the dark room had returned.
The person who laughed asked, "What did you find out?"
Another voice replied, "The detected skills are [Ice Flower Seal], [Rain of Hatred], [Explosive Arrow], [Shadow Manipulation], [Magic Missile], and [Phantom Teleport]."
Yu Xunge listened with trepidation, as if the school broadcast had started announcing which imperial texts she had read halfway through class. But she didn't hear "Jia Lai" at the end. Was it because this skill was the one she used before entering the shop, or because they couldn't detect divinely bestowed talent skills?
Furthermore, her use of the item skills "Disguise" and "I'm in a hurry" was not detected...
Wait, no! There's also the Animagus!!!
The next second, Yu Xunge felt as if she had been severely injured. Her entire body felt as if it had been hit hard by a high-speed train. She flew into the air mixed with the shattered flesh and blood of the oak owl. Her spider form began to dissipate, and she was about to be forced back into her original form!
The moment Yu Xunge realized she was about to transform into human form, she quickly put away the bear-shaped biscuits on her body and used [Armor Come!] to transform into the form of a three-tailed moon fox.
She also secretly put her hand behind her back and used her fingernail to make a slit in the back of her pants, revealing three fox tails that were entirely white except for their black tips.
Even Sailor Moon's transformation isn't as smooth as hers...
Moreover, having just killed Oak Owl, her entire body was now glowing with a faint red light, and the special effects were complete; all she was missing was a frozen pose.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Xunge even gave himself a new name—[Misty Realm].
At this moment, Yu Xunge unilaterally declared that she would follow Mist Blade Moon Emperor to the death!
With 47% of her health remaining, Yu Xunge slowly sat up, clutching her chest, and looked at the oak owls inside the house, especially the one surrounded in the middle. Her wings and hair color were like autumn maple leaves under the sunlight, an extremely beautiful orange-red, just like the first impression she gave people, dazzling and flamboyant, so bright that all the creatures in the dark corners had to cover their eyes and beg her to leave!
The oak owl was looking down at him.
The pocket watch's energy-saving mode reveals the other party's information.
[Maple Cang Level 97 100%┃100%]
Are they royalty from the Oak Owl Maple lineage?
Yu Xunge, who had crammed on the history of Oak Owl in the library, was not surprised at this moment, since Polar Day City was originally under the control of the Maple lineage.
Just like when facing Rukia the Fog Blade, Yu Xunge felt a strong sense of crisis when she tried to use the full version of her detection skill on Feng Cang. She secretly put all the precious items, such as the pocket watch and the volatile moon, into her backpack.
The next second, Feng Cang flicked out a red maple leaf, which circled around Yu Xunge before returning to her hand.
Only then did she say, "Mist-tailed Moon Fox?"
Yu Xunge vaguely guessed that the maple leaf from earlier was used to test whether she was disguised, and she successfully passed the test thanks to her S-level Thief God talent's disguise skills.
Even if she wanted to shift the blame to Yuehu, Yu Xunge wasn't going to take the arrogant route. She dutifully played the role of someone who was both afraid and didn't want to bring shame to her race after being captured by a powerful figure. She straightened her back and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Yes, it was an accident. If you're willing, I can contact Mistblade Moon Queen, and she will compensate you."
Seeing the respect that the Moon Fox showed to the strong, Feng Cang asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Yu Xunge shook her head: "I don't know, but I know this shop..." She glanced at the oak owls around her, pursed her lips, and mumbled, "This shop is not ordinary. The Moon Emperor instructed that if we encounter other powerful individuals during the collection process, we must not be rude."
Feng Cang made a gesture, and instantly, all the oak owls except for her retreated. They passed through the formation one by one without encountering any hindrance. Unfortunately, the formation remained intact throughout, and even after the oak owls left, it was not dispelled.
