Chapter 623 Chapter 623: Sudden Predicament!

The bright vermillion flames instantly formed a wall that melted away all of the sharp shards flying in their direction!

The Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader snorted coldly and complained: "You ungrateful beast~! If you can use your skill to protect those useless burdens, why did you not use your ability to protect my people?!"

The amber-colored fox glared back at the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader and replied in annoyance: "Selfish human, did you already forget our agreement? You should be the one who protects me and my people from any harm until we get out of this place, while I will show you the way to find the City Lord\'s treasures with my divine ability."

"Why do you want to ask me to protect you and your people now? Is your brain damaged or are you already stupid since birth? You did not even have any intention to share the City Lord\'s treasures with me, but you want me to lead the way to the treasures, solve all the traps along the way, and protect your people from all dangers. Dream on~!" The amber-colored fox scolded the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader mercilessly.

This time, the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader had no more words to scold back the yellow-colored fox.

Yes, since the very beginning, the amber-colored fox cleverly never mentioned anything about helping the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s people to solve any traps or fighting alongside them.

Its task was only to lead them to find the hidden treasure room.

The greedy Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader also never mentioned anything about sharing the City Lord\'s hidden treasures with the amber-colored fox after they managed to find the hidden treasures later.

Unfortunately, the arrogance of the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader completely backfired this time.

Each of these Core Formation Stage Cultivators was the people he carefully cultivated over a long period of time.

It took not only a lot of time, but also a lot of cultivation resources to raise these people who were only loyal to himself to reach this level, and now, several of them died before they had even seen the City Lord\'s treasures.

Losing these people was extremely painful for the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader like cutting his own flesh and bones.

But he could only grit his teeth, forcefully bear it, and continue on their way since he had already lost too much, and it was already too late for him to regret it or back down right now after going this far.

He tried to comfort himself by thinking that he could cultivate more loyal people to reach the Core Formation Stage after he obtained the City Lord\'s treasures later.

The amber-colored fox secretly sneered disdainfully in its heart as it stared at the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader with a pair of eyes filled with mockery.

\'If this foolish human was not blinded by greed and temporarily pretended to be generous by discussing to share the treasures as long as I helped him on the way before, I might have no other choice but to help him out right now. What a fool?!\' The amber-colored fox thought scornfully in its mind.

Surprisingly, their next journey after going down the stairs was smooth.

But both the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader and amber-colored fox knew that the bigger dangers should have already waited for them as they got even closer to the treasure room.

There were only hundreds of creepy stone statues on the right and left sides of the long corridor, but they did not find any more traps on their way until they reached the ancient-looking bronze gate.

The Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader acted much more cleverly this time, he glared at one of the detained foxes and said with a threatening tone: "You there, go and open that gate for us! Quickly~!"

However, the amber-colored fox clearly would never let its key to win this treasure game die here, so it immediately stood in front of the detained fox and replied with a cold tone: "Stupid Human, stop playing around~! Do you think these weak malnutrition foxes can really push open that heavy bronze door? Please use your brain to think next time, not your tongue!"

The Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader stared angrily at the amber-colored fox with a pair of eyes filled with killing intent.

He secretly swore in his heart to slowly cut all of these weak foxes to pieces in front of the amber-colored fox\'s eyes before he beheaded it after he obtained the City Lord\'s treasures later.

Without any other choice, the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader could only order one of his subordinates to push open the ancient-looking bronze gate.

Of course, he also warned his subordinates to be very careful because there was a huge chance that there might be an extremely dangerous trap on the bronze gate.

The black-clothed subordinate nodded and carefully approached closer to the ancient-looking bronze gate step by step.

He sighed in relief after he finally reached the ancient-looking bronze gate without triggering any trap, and then he tried to push open the gate.

Unfortunately, the ancient-looking bronze gate did not budge at all.

On the contrary, it made a loud clacking sound instead!

"AAAAARRRGGHH~!" The black-clothed subordinate from the Eternal Joyous Cult screamed out loud in pain as the extremely powerful electric current surged from the bronze gate toward his body.

The black-clothed subordinate from the Eternal Joyous Cult turned into a lump of burnt meat in an instant.

Not only that, a cage with metal bars fell from the ceiling above and sealed the ancient-looking bronze gate making them could no longer reach it anymore.

The hundreds of creepy stone statues at the right and left sides of the long corridor began to move slowly and stepped forward while staring menacingly at them!

"Sh*t~! Prepare to fight~!" The expression of Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader immediately turned grim as he hastily shouted to warn his subordinates.

Even the amber-colored fox could no longer sit back and pretend to be a statue anymore since it needed to fight harder than anyone soon to protect the detained foxes from those stone statues.

For the first time, Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader and his subordinates along with the amber-colored fox were fighting together to defend themselves against the hundreds of creepy stone statues!

But those creepy stone statues were clearly not simple!

Every time they shattered any of those creepy stone statues to pieces, it would immediately recover back again to normal in the blink of an eye!

Although, the strength of those creepy stone statues was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but their number was too many, and they could not be killed or destroyed at all!

The Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader and the amber-colored fox quickly realized that they would soon be exhausted to death if they kept fighting against the hundreds of creepy stone statues continuously like this.

So, they had to find a way to forcefully break open the ancient-looking bronze gate and get away from these creepy stone statues as soon as possible!

.....

When the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s leader and the amber-colored fox were facing an unprecedented predicament, Tang Li Xue and Yaya yawned lazily in boredom at the same time.

"Ya yaya yaaa? (How long we should wait?)" Yaya asked impatiently while puffing her cheek cutely.

Tang Li Xue smiled gently while tapping on Yaya\'s puffed cheek and replied: "Be more patient, Yaya~! We may just be lazing around here, but those people should be facing life-threatening danger by now."

Tang Li Xue had already put her [Mapping Sense] tracker on the amber-colored fox, so she could easily monitor all of its movements from here.

Every time the amber-colored fox halted its movement on the map, it meant their group was currently facing danger or accidentally triggering the trap.

Tang Li Xue felt really glad that she was not blinded by greed and stupidly followed their group to enter the hidden passage.

Anyway, she could easily track the location of the amber-colored fox even if it found another exit in the hidden passage later, so she only needed to patiently wait until those people found the City Lord\'s treasures.

Of course, she could not do it alone since she surely could not defeat the amber-colored fox plus all of those strong people from the Eternal Joyous Cult by herself.

That was why she had already told Little Loki to call an extremely powerful reinforcement to face those people~!

Just when Tang Li Xue started to feel worried about Little Loki and wondered if Little Loki had met with any trouble or danger on the way, a black flash jumped into her embrace all of a sudden!

"Little Loki~?! Thank goodness you are all right~!" Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and caressed Little Loki\'s tiny soft furry body gently.

"Nyaaaw~! (All done~!)" Little Loki informed Tang Li Xue.

After feeding Little Loki with all of the mid-tier spirit stones in her spatial ring, Tang Li Xue asked Little Loki why it took so long to do it.

After hearing Little Loki\'s explanation, Tang Li Xue finally understood the crucial problem.

Yes, Tang Li Xue planned to inform all of the guard captains that the great explosion was the Eternal Joyous Cult\'s doing, and they had already infiltrated deep into the main residence of the City Lord\'s Mansion by using the great explosion as a diversion.

But those guard captains clearly would not believe Tang Li Xue\'s information easily, and they started to discuss it among themselves first.
