Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1085: Arctic Wolves Pack

Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: Arctic Wolves Pack

Qin Sisi suddenly rembered the heavenly sound of the flute that had lingered by her ears while she had been unconscious.

"Was it you playing the flute last night?" she asked Ah Xia gently.

Ah Xia nodded sheepishly and asked cautiously, "Was it not good? Did I disturb you?"

Qin Sisi quickly shook her head and said, "Not at all. You played very well. I liked it a lot. However, liking music and practicing Music Magic are two entirely different matters. Have you thought it through?"

She knew that many people liked music, but few were willing to practice Music Magic. It required exceptional talent, significant effort, yielded slow rewards, had weak offensive power initially, and its spell casting demanded ti. These characteristics made Music Magic hard for most people to accept.

Bu Lang walked over to try to persuade Ah Xia as well. "Young man, be realistic. Music Magic is very impractical. It takes a lot of ti, has weak attack power, and if you practice Music Magic, you’ll probably find that even a magic apprentice could defeat you."

Qin Sisi frowned slightly. Perhaps Bu Lang ant well, but his belittling attitude toward Music Magic made her feel uncomfortable.

Ah Xia was not swayed by Bu Lang’s words. He looked resolute and said to Qin Sisi, "Ms. Xueqin, I’ve thought it through very carefully. I truly love music, and I genuinely want to practice Music Magic. I know Music Magic has its own unique charm and power. It’s just that most people fail to perceive it."

These words stirred a flicker of emotion in Qin Sisi’s heart. In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, it was rare and comndable for soone so vulnerable to cling to their passion and dreams under imnse pressure.

Qin Sisi decided to lend her strength to help this young man. She gifted him a Level Two Music Attribute Magic Crystal Stone and a Third Level Music Attribute Magic Crystal Core, encouraging him to keep striving. As long as he persevered, he would eventually see hope.

Such extravagant gifts left Ah Xia in joyous disbelief. As Qin Sisi was about to turn and leave, he suddenly rushed in front of her and stamred, "Ms. Xueqin, why... why are you so kind to ?"

Qin Sisi smiled and said, "You saved my life. Repaying you is the least I can do."

Ah Xia’s face broke into a wide grin, and for several days, he couldn’t stop smiling, even laughing out loud in his sleep.

As for the ordinary guards who had not yet activated their Magic Source, Qin Sisi crafted so one-star weapons using forging techniques with the tallic materials from her storage ring as gifts.

Ordinary guards who had yet to activate their Magic Source earned ager wages and could only afford weapons forged by apprentices who weren’t yet official Forging Masters. Star-rated weapons far exceeded their financial capability.

Qin Sisi’s gifts were exactly what they needed. Ordinary people relied on physical strength and weapons during fights. If their weapons were stronger, their chances of winning increased greatly.

In this way, the entire caravan grew grateful toward Qin Sisi, admiring her magic power and forging skills to the point they regarded her as a goddess-like figure.

Qin Sisi gradually learned about the caravan’s situation. Although Ye You had not yet engaged Tian Xiaozi in direct conflict, the whole Demon Sacred Realm was already in turmoil. Under Tian Xiaozi’s control, Fengge Wang City and the forr Divine Dog City were under lockdown, preventing outsiders from entering or leaving freely.

Yu Miao’s caravan was transporting Miaoyin City’s fabrics to Midair City. These two cities were situated opposite each other. In the past, one could travel directly by passing through Fengge Wang City and Divine Dog City, enjoying a safe journey along the way.

Now, with Fengge Wang City and Divine Dog City under lockdown, the caravan had to take a detour. After exiting Midair City, they needed to pass through Crystal City and Scholar City to reach Miaoyin City, doubling the ti needed for a round trip.

Moreover, the route now passed through mostly uninhabited areas, greatly increasing the risk of encountering danger. The caravan had to hire more manpower and raise wages, making business increasingly difficult.

As Qin Sisi’s understanding of the situation deepened, she gained a clearer grasp of the war’s implications. Ye You’s mission wasn’t just about seeking vengeance. More importantly, he sought to restore the Demon Sacred Realm to its forr state of peace and stability, where his people would no longer live in constant fear, struggling rely to survive.

Though Qin Sisi had agreed to help protect the caravan’s safety, danger didn’t surface frequently. After officially joining the caravan, the journey was peaceful for so ti, allowing her to focus on healing her injuries.

As the caravan was nearing the exit of Crystal City, Qin Sisi had recovered from most of her wounds. It was then that the caravan faced its greatest peril on this journey—a pack of ravenous Arctic Wolves surrounded the caravan.

Crystal City’s cold climate and the large expanse of ice fields to the north made Arctic Wolves prevalent. Normally, the caravan traveled along All Souls Forest and wouldn’t encounter Arctic Wolves. However, in an attempt to shorten their route, they had ventured northward and aid to pass through a gap in Yuding Snow Mountain to reach Midair City, unwittingly crossing paths with the wolf pack.

A single Arctic Wolf was not frightening, but an entire pack of Arctic Wolves was undeniably a formidable adversary.

One inattentive guard was imdiately grabbed by the throat by an Arctic Wolf. Several other wolves pounced on him, and within minutes, all that remained of him were a pile of white bones.

Bu Lang, who had been standing nearby, beca enraged. He raised his weapon and charged forward, slaying one wolf that was unprepared. The others reacted swiftly, starting to surround and attack Bu Lang, their mouths spewing white ice fog.

Seeing this, Bu Luo rushed over to aid her husband, and the couple battled fiercely against the Arctic Wolves together.

When Qin Sisi dashed out from the carriage, Yu Miao and the other four individuals with mana were already locked in combat with the wolves, while the ordinary guards stood by the fabric-loaded wagons, wielding weapons to fend off the wolves charging at them.

However, this wolf pack included many that had beco true Demonic Beasts. The ice fog they exhaled could slow movents, and those with stronger abilities could even freeze people into statues. The ordinary guards stood no chance against the Arctic Wolves.

Qin Sisi’s expression hardened, and she rushed forward, tightly gripping the Moon Spirit Golden Feather. With a fierce strike, she unleashed the Vigor Gold Knife Magic Skill, slashing furiously at the wolves attacking the ordinary guards.

The Arctic Wolves had their tactics. Those assigned to attack the ordinary guards were weaker wolves or First Order Demonic Beasts, and their strength was far inferior to Qin Sisi’s. They couldn’t withstand her magical assault.

One Arctic Wolf after another was sliced in half by Qin Sisi’s strikes. Blood sprayed everywhere, and their ssy innards spilled across the ground, steaming in the cold air.
