Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: After the Catastrophe
Even if poisonous insects approached from both sides simultaneously, only about twenty could get close to Qin Sisi at once. She rely needed to sweep lightly with the Golden Scale Snake Whip to knock all the insects off the soft bridge ford by her clothes.
Thus, while the next wave of insects was on their way, she had ti to play the lullaby.
After an unknown length of playing the lullaby, and sweeping away countless waves of insects, finally, all the insects in the secret chamber fell asleep, lying quietly in place, motionless.
Qin Sisi sat at the center of the soft bridge, playing the zither and surveying the surroundings. The insects were all asleep and wouldn’t attack her, but she was trapped there.
The top board and circular walls were still crawling with insects. If she forcefully struck them using magic power, it would definitely wake the insects but might not break open the chamber.
The ground below had fewer insects, but was set with a forbidden technique, preventing the use of the Earth Escape Skill.
After much thought, Qin Sisi decided to wait for the ti being. She had food and pills in her storage ring, enough to last for a long ti. She decided to use the Soul Taker lody to kill all the insects and then find a way out.
Only her magic power was currently weak, and the power of the Soul Taker lody was significantly reduced, requiring a long ti to kill all the insects.
anwhile, Ye You, trapped outside in the Vine Gold Cage, was trying hard to burn one of the vines with the Ziwei Heaven Fire, but after a long effort, the vine showed no damage at all.
The old witch mocked with a cold smile: "Don’t waste your energy. I told you, the Vine Gold Cage is made of the hardest tal and the toughest vines in the world. It’s resistant to fire; no matter how you burn it, it won’t work."
Ye You ignored her, releasing purple flas with his claws, continuing to burn the vine, paying no heed to her words.
The old witch seed like she had punched cotton, angrily cursing: "I don’t care about being a Sage Ruler; I’ll lock you up for a hundred years and see how long you can stay stubborn!"
Having said her piece, she lay on the recliner by the wall and began to rest with her eyes closed.
The next day, when the old witch woke from her sleep, she discovered Ye You had stopped burning the Vine Gold Cage, lying motionless inside the cage with his eyes closed.
The old witch laughed triumphantly: "How about it? Exhausted, right? Hahaha..."
She laughed to herself for a while, receiving no response, which made her feel sowhat bored.
Leaning lazily on the recliner, she dazed for a while, then slowly stood up to mutter incantations by the window, climbed the sturdy vine, left the castle, and landed on the ground.
As soon as she left, Ye You’s eyes instantly opened, a brilliance flashed in his eyes, showing no fatigue at all.
He slightly moved his body, and a black break had already appeared on the vine blocked by his body.
Fire can conquer gold and wood, and Ye You didn’t believe that the Divine Fire couldn’t deal with this cage.
However, he had to admit that items like the Vine Gold Cage used by deities were indeed extraordinary, taking so long to burn a break.
If it were anyone else, seeing no progress for a long ti, they might have given up.
But he couldn’t give up, because he still needed to find Qin Sisi, whether alive or dead.
Ye You lay carefully, ears perked high, listening for sounds outside, ensuring the old witch had left and wouldn’t return soon before he got up to continue burning the vine.
The Vine Gold Cage was already damaged, and he needed to hide it carefully to prevent the old witch from discovering it, or all efforts would be wasted.
Thus, when the old witch was around, Ye You pretended to sleep; when she was asleep or away, he seized the ti to burn the vine.
Two days later, the vine was finally burned through, and Ye You sighed in relief, imdiately crawling out from the gap.
The old witch happened not to be ho, as she had gone out early that morning, just providing convenience for Ye You.
Once out of the Vine Gold Cage, Ye You imdiately rushed to the corner where Qin Sisi had fallen, using Gold Attribute Magic Power to condense a sharp dagger to cut open the floor.
After removing the floor, Ye You leaned down to peer inside. It was very dark, but a faint silver glow could be seen lower down, which created a glimr of hope in his heart.
He gathered magic wings on his back and flew down through the hole in the floor.
Upon entering, he was startled by the densely packed insects on the walls, causing his worry for Qin Sisi to increase.
But a faint zither lody soon entered his ears, stopping him in his tracks.
He knew this lody well, Soul Taker, silently taking lives.
When encircling Tian Xiaozi, Qin Sisi used this lody to break through Tian Xiaozi’s combined offense and defense formation, killing tens of thousands of Magic Warriors, leaving Ye You with a deep impression of this piece.
His heart was filled with joy as he quickly flapped his magic wings and flew downward.
In the dark chamber, Qin Sisi’s Night Pearl hairpin was the sole light source, so Ye You easily found her location.
A rope twisted from clothes was secured between the chamber’s ends, with Qin Sisi sitting in the middle. The colorful rope sank slightly, forming a beautiful arc.
The Granite Zither was held in her hands, and fingers ford of magic power skillfully played it, the enchanting sound of the zither hiding fierce killing intent.
The surrounding insects were already motionless; even if they weren’t dead, they were likely already in a comatose state.
"Sisi." Ye You called gently from behind her.
Qin Sisi’s figure trembled, and the zither lody abruptly halted. She slowly turned around, eting Ye You’s purple eyes. An incredible joy surged in her heart, but suddenly her nose tingled, tears of joy welling up.
Ye You landed beside her and embraced her tightly, letting out a light but deep sigh.
Having survived the trials, their reunion was hard-won.
Qin Sisi embraced Ye You tightly, tears falling uncontrollably. When she fell into the chamber, she didn’t cry; when surrounded by insects, she didn’t cry.
Now that these dangers were gone, at the mont she saw Ye You, the strength she had held onto for so long finally crumbled.
"I thought I’d never see you again," Qin Sisi murmured nestled in Ye You’s arms, choking back her tears.
"No, I will find the four portions of Life Divine Water to heal you," Ye You comforted her firmly.
Though he spoke fearlessly, only he knew how scared he truly was inside.
Qin Sisi had fallen into the chamber several days ago, and he was uncertain whether he could save her in ti. In his heart, he had already prepared for the worst.
