Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: Giant Ship Sailing in the Desert!

.....

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue was currently riding on Lucia’s back and flying right above the vast scorching desert.

In fact, they were already traveling in this vast scorching desert for a few days, but they still could not see the end of this desert.

"Damn it! I’m sick of seeing sand everywhere! When can we get out of here?!" Tang Li Xue complained in exasperation.

Even though Tang Li Xue had extremely high heat resistance and could barely feel anything in this scorching desert, but she still felt stressed and impatient when traveling in this vast desert since she could only see sand as far as her eyes could see.

BOOOOM—!

Suddenly, a gigantic sand worm jumped out from under the sand!

It opened its huge mouth filled with countless sharp teeth to swallow both Tang Li Xue and Lucia in one gulp!

Tang Li Xue was not that surprised when she saw the gigantic sand worm since she had already faced similar gigantic sand worms in the Foxes Hunting Festival.

"I have no mood playing around with you, so go away!" Tang Li Xue muttered annoyedly.

[Spirit Shock]—!

BAAANG—!

The gigantic sand worm’s soul was struck heavily by Tang Li Xue’s [Spirit Shock] until it was shattered into pieces!

The gigantic sand worm fell down into the sand and stopped moving.

Tang Li Xue previously faced so much difficulty fighting against this gigantic sand worm in the Foxes Hunting Festival because it was too tanky, thanks to its colossal size.

However, this gigantic sand worm actually had a fragile mind and soul, so it could be easily defeated using a soul-based attack.

In the previous Foxes Hunting Festival, Tang Li Xue did not have any soul-based attacks, but it was completely different right now because she had unlocked Spiritualist Battle Style.

Tang Li Xue no longer bothered to care about the gigantic sand worm because she finally saw something among the sea of sand.

"Um? What is that? A giant ship that can sail in the desert? Interesting~!" Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes were shining in amusement.

Tang Li Xue patted Lucia’s back several times.

Lucia immediately understood what Tang Li Xue wanted to do, and then she swiftly flew toward the giant ship.

The giant ship was entirely made from metal with a science fiction touch.

"Stop! Do not come any closer!" The giant ship used somekind of voice amplifier device to warn Tang Li Xue.

The voice was feminine. It was clear that the one who spoke should be a woman.

Then, more than a dozen spirit cannons came out from inside the giant ship’s body and aimed at Tang Li Xue and Lucia.

Lucia cautiously stopped flying forward to approach the giant ship.

Tang Li Xue also subconsciously raised both of her hands and replied: "Uhh, sorry. We really have no bad intentions. We are just curious since this is the first time we have seen a ship that can sail in the desert."

"This is your first time seeing a ship like this? So, you are not from the Great Huang Dynasty?" The person inside the giant ship asked again.

"Yes, we are coming from the Great Wei Dynasty. We are just passing through the Great Huang Dynasty. We actually want to go to the Great Xia Dynasty." Tang Li Xue explained honestly.

The person inside the giant ship went silent for a minute or so.

"You can come closer." The person inside the giant ship finally gave her permission.

Tang Li Xue felt relieved and delighted as she instructed Lucia to land on the giant ship.

On the giant ship, Tang Li Xue saw a huge banner written with: the Huang Dynasty Government Desert Patrol.

"So, this is an official Huang Dynasty government ship?" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.

After Lucia landed on the giant ship, Tang Li Xue jumped down from Lucia’s back.

A metal gate on the top of the giant ship suddenly opened, and several guards wearing a full set of black armor went out to meet Tang Li Xue.

Lucia worriedly pecked Tang Li Xue’s shoulder to remind her that they were from the Beast Race after all.

It would be bad if those armored guards discovered their true identity.

"Don’t worry. I know what to do." Tang Li Xue said to reassure Lucia as she secretly activated [Myriad Manifestation Fox Mask]’s Equipment Skill, [Thousand Myriad Faces].

In that instant, Tang Li Xue’s stunningly beautiful appearance transformed into an ordinary-looking appearance.

Even her fox ears and tails had disappeared, and she looked no different than an ordinary human girl.

The armored guards surrounded Tang Li Xue from all sides and threateningly pointed their weapons at her.

"Please show us your face first!" One of the armored guards said sternly to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue obediently uncovered her hood and took off her fox mask, revealing an ordinary-looking face that could easily blend into the crowd.

One of the armored guards took somekind of scanning device to record Tang Li Xue’s appearance and check her identity.

When the scanning device emitted green light, the armored guard nodded and declared: "It is safe."

All the armored guards lowered their weapons in relief.

It seemed the device showed that Tang Li Xue’s identity was clean.

"Sorry, Young Lady, but there are too many criminals scattered in the desert, so we have to be careful. We hope you can understand our difficulties." One of the armored guards apologized to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and replied: "It is okay. I understand that you did not mean any harm."

"Let’s get in! I will show you the inside of the ship." The armored guard kindly offered to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue happily accepted the armored guard’s kind offer.

The armored guard who escorted Tang Li Xue was quite talkative, so he explained many things to Tang Li Xue.

"The task of our Desert Patrol is to patrol around the Fiery Desert and catch any criminals we find."

"There are too many robbers and criminals hiding in the desert, so you should be extra careful when you travel here."

"Of course, if we meet with travelers who got lost in the desert like you, we will definitely help them and let them board our ship until we escort them back to the Capital City of our Great Huang Dynasty." The armored guard said to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue nodded her head in understanding while looking around the interior of the giant ship.

Even though the interior of this giant ship was far inferior compared to Fox Clan’s flying warship, but it had a different taste in Tang Li Xue’s opinion.

’Well, it is actually not that bad~! Although it is not as luxurious-looking as Fox Clan’s flying warship, but it looked like a steampunk ship with steel pipes everywhere.’ Tang Li Xue commented in her heart.

Tang Li Xue decided to rest in this giant ship for one or two days before she continued her journey to the Xia Dynasty.

She was already extremely fed up with seeing sand after all, so it should feel quite fresh to stay in this steampunk ship for one or two days.

They actually headed in the same direction anyway.

It was just that the sailing speed of this giant steampunk ship was quite slow compared to Lucia’s flying speed.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue underestimated her passive ability as a potent trouble magnet.

After looking around the interior of the giant ship for half an hour, the armored guard brought Tang Li Xue and Lucia to a huge room.

There were more than fifty shabby-looking people living in this huge room.

These fifty shabby-looking people should be the travelers who got lost in the desert, then they were brought into the giant ship by those armored guards.

At first, Tang Li Xue planned to greet these people, but they did not seem to want to talk to Tang Li Xue at all, so she decided to just ignore them and set up her own tent inside the huge room like the others.

When Tang Li Xue and Lucia rested inside their tent, the shabby-looking people outside secretly set up an isolation barrier and whispered softly with each other: "Who is that girl? Is it possible that she is actually a desert patrol officer assigned to spy on us?"

"Should we just..." Another person made a cutting throat gesture.

"Don’t make any rush move. We will speed up our plan and make our move tonight!" The leader of the shabby-looking people spoke up in a stern tone.

After the sky turned dark...

BOOOOOOM—!

A huge explosion suddenly occurred inside the ship!

"Damn it! What is happening?!" Tang Li Xue rushed out from her tent and cursed in annoyance.

BOOOOOOM—!

Another big explosion happened right inside the huge room where Tang Li Xue was!

Tang Li Xue was caught completely off guard, and she was swallowed by the explosion along with her tent and Lucia, who was still inside the tent!

But after a while, Tang Li Xue and Lucia jumped out from the sea of flames completely unharmed.

Well, Tang Li Xue had extremely high heat resistance and rapid regeneration, while Lucia had unbreakable defense.

An explosion at that level was like a tickle for both of them.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down her irritated mood, but she choked on the thick smoke instead.

"Cough, cough, cough... Okay, let’s see what happened." Tang Li Xue said to Lucia as she jumped and sat on her back.

Tang Li Xue and Lucia could just fly out and escape from this giant ship easily, but they were curious about what had happened, so they decided to check it first.
