Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 962

Tang Li Xue and Xi'er followed the other people in the black uniforms closely from behind while carrying the wooden chest that should be containing the corpse of the fallen soldier like them.

This hidden underground place was like a giant maze.

Even Tang Li Xue felt dizzy just by following the people in the black uniforms from behind.

After turning right and left dozens of times in each corridor intersection, Tang Li Xue and Xi'er arrived at a hall that was even larger than before.

Tang Li Xue and Xi'er raised their vigilance to the maximum as they observed the huge hall carefully.

There was a pool of mud right at the center of the big hall.

This pool of mud was made from the strange unknown substances. It was boiling hot and covered with an odd formation.

The people in the black uniforms put down the wooden chest on the edge of the mud pool, then they opened the wooden chest and threw the corpse of the fallen soldier into the mud pool.

Xi'er glanced at Tang Li Xue to ask for her further instruction.

But Tang Li Xue only nodded to Xier, signaling her that they should just follow what those people in the black uniforms did for now.

Xi'er hastily copied what those people in the black uniforms had done.

She opened the wooden chest, grabbed the corpse of the fallen soldier stored in the wooden chest, and threw it into the pool of mud.

After that, Xi'er and Tang Li Xue just stood silently on the edge of the mud pool like the other people in the black uniforms.

CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~!

After waiting patiently for ten minutes or so, several people in Daoist Priest uniforms came closer to the mud pool while ringing the bell in their grasp and chanting some kind of weird mantra.

The formation around the mud pool suddenly glowed with an ominous dim purple light.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

Then, something inside the mud pool was moving and began to climb out from the mud pool!

Tang Li Xue: "?!"

Xi'er: "?!"

Tang Li Xue and Xi'er were very surprised to see stone statues begin to climb out from the mud pool one by one!

'What the hell are those things?! Stone puppets made from the corpses of the fallen soldiers?! No, they look quite familiar to me. Ah, that is right! They look really like Terracota Warriors!' Tang Li Xue thought in astonishment.

However, Xi'er and Tang Li Xue's hearts immediately chilled as both of them thought that the Great Wei Dynasty was truly heartless.

These brave soldiers already sacrificed their lives to protect the Great Wei Dynasty, but the Great Wei Dynasty was still not satisfied yet, and they actually used the corpses of their fallen brave soldiers to create the Terracota Warriors!

No wonder the ghosts of these fallen soldiers did not rest peacefully and still wander around the Yin Burial Ground instead!

'But what do that ghost soldier want from us? Don't tell me that he wants us to get back his corpse and bury it properly? Or even worse, he wants us to help him take his revenge against these people and kill them all?' Tang Li Xue frowned deeply while keep guessing in her heart.

In half an hour or so, there were already hundreds of Terracotta Warriors lined up neatly in the huge hall.

The people in Daoist Priest uniforms finally stopped their ritual and led the hundreds of Terracotta Warriors to somewhere else while continuously ringing the bell in their grasp.

All the people in the black uniforms also began to disperse and go back to do their own respective tasks.

Tang Li Xue and Xi'er followed all of those people in black uniforms and went out from the huge hall together with them.

But just when they stepped out from the hall, Tang Li Xue and Xi'er spotted the ghost soldier again at the corridor's intersection.

While the other people in black uniforms turned right at the corridor's intersection, Tang Li Xue and Xi'er decided to follow the ghost soldier's guidance and turned to the left corridor instead.

Even though both Tang Li Xue and Xi'er did not trust the ghost soldier at all, but both of them really wanted to see what he was up to.

Even if he led them into any traps later, Tang Li Xue and Xi'er would not be afraid since Little Loki could just use its [Heaven's Devour] to break and swallow all of their traps and trapping formations.

On the other hand, if this ghost soldier brought them to his comrades, Tang Li Xue would make a lot of profit instead.

She could just forcefully kidnap all of the ghost soldiers in one fell swoop and confine them all in her [Sword of Disaster].

No matter how rebellious and unwilling those ghost soldiers were, all of them would still fall under the [Sword of Disaster]'s third effect in the end, and they would still become loyal and obedient to Tang Li Xue.

She nodded her head and smiled kindly at them.

The expressions of those ghost soldiers became brighter as if they had seen their savior.

"Thank you very much, Young Lady..." The ghost soldier bowed gratefully at Tang Li Xue.

But before he could say anything further, Tang Li Xue muttered slowly: "I refuse."

"Eh, what?" The ghost soldier was completely dumbfounded.

Tang Li Xue repeated her words again in a firmer tone: "I said I refuse!"

"Why?!" The ghost soldier asked in disbelief.

"Because there is no merit for me in doing so! It is too tiring and too dangerous." Tang Li Xue lazily replied to the ghost soldier.

Tang Li Xue honestly felt really sorry for these ghost soldiers, but it did not mean that she would just bring her team and jump into great danger for them for free, right?

"Please help us, Young Lady! We only managed to get away from those people thanks to the many sacrifices of our comrades' souls, but we still cannot get close to that Soul Trapping Formation, or we will get trapped inside there again! Only living creatures like you can get close to that Soul Trapping Formation and release our comrades' souls!" The ghost soldier desperately begged Tang Li Xue again.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and muttered in a disappointed tone: "It seems you still do not understand what I mean."

"What do you mean?" The ghost soldier asked in an oblivious.

Tang Li Xue made a coin sign with her fingers and spoke in a serious manner: "We do not need you all to feel grateful to us. What we want is benefit! What will we get after we save your comrades' souls?! Don't tell me you all will only say thanks to us, then pat your butt and leave!"

If Tang Li Xue could still get bountiful rewards from her System's quests after she completed it, then Tang Li Xue might really do it for free.

But the problem was that Tang Li Xue temporarily could not take her System's quests in her current condition!

Not to mention that she has to drag Xi'er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia to do that dangerous task.

It was no longer a matter of her own life, but five lives! _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Risking their five lives just to get these ghost soldiers' thanks and gratitude was clearly not worth it at all!
