Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Diverting the Lake Water
In the silent black night, all sounds were subdued, only the lodious and beautiful song coming from the center of the lake floated through the air, flowing from the ears straight to the heart.
Qin Sisi closed her eyes, walking step by step towards Crescent Lake, the moonlit shimring and breathtaking lake now lay in deep darkness, completely hiding the dangers within.
Qin Sisi’s paw dipped into the water; the icy lake didn’t awaken her, and she continued towards the center, her four legs completely subrged in the water.
Just as her head was about to sink below the water, a figure swiftly flew over from behind her, grabbing her body and flying back to the shore.
The one who saved Qin Sisi was none other than Ye You, who held her in his arms, anxiously and concernedly calling, "Sisi, wake up, what’s wrong with you?"
Ye You’s call couldn’t wake Qin Sisi; she wanted to pursue that lodious song, but Ye You held her tightly in his embrace, not letting her leave.
The song continued to echo faintly in the night. Qin Sisi suddenly beca vicious, fiercely scratching at Ye You’s chest with her paws, leaving deep blood marks on his skin.
Ye You inhaled sharply from the pain but continued to call out loudly, "Sisi, wake up, it’s !"
But Qin Sisi’s ears and heart could only hear that lodic song, unable to hear Ye You’s call. She continued to struggle mightily, trying to break free from Ye You’s arms to chase the song coming from the center of the lake.
Ye You tightly bound her body with one hand, while the other hand grabbed the paw wearing the storage ring, trying to use the power of the Blood Covenant to open her storage ring.
Qin Sisi’s magic stemd from Ye You’s magic blood, their magic shared the sa roots, a continuous lineage; Ye You’s magical strength surpassing Qin Sisi’s. As long as the power of the Blood Covenant was strong enough, he could completely control her storage ring just like she would herself.
After several failed attempts, his chest bore even more blood marks; he forced himself to calm down, closing his eyes to sense the connection with Qin Sisi. After finding that thread of spiritual link, he reopened his eyes and directed magic power at Qin Sisi’s storage ring.
This ti, he finally succeeded!
Ye You visibly relaxed, quickly using his Divine Sense to delve into Qin Sisi’s storage ring and retrieved the Granite Zither from it.
The Panhu family’s treasure, Dingkun Gold, the Muyin family’s treasure, ten-thousand-year Spruce Wood—the materials of the Granite Zither inherently held powerful and pure spiritual power, and having been with Qin Sisi for so long, there was already so mutual resonance between the person and the zither.
Ye You couldn’t free up his hands, so he clamped the Granite Zither with his neck, disregarding lody tuning, his fingers forcefully striking down on the strings.
With a "Zheng" sound, Qin Sisi’s body shuddered slightly.
Seeing Qin Sisi respond to the Granite Zither, Ye You imdiately continued to pluck the strings nonstop, the sound of "Zheng Zheng" resonating incessantly.
Qin Sisi ceased struggling, her body softening, and monts later, she finally opened her eyes, looking at Ye You in a daze.
"Sisi, are you awake?" Ye You asked cautiously, still not daring to put down the Granite Zither.
Qin Sisi nodded, confusedly asking, "What happened?"
Ye You raised a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, then took the Night Pearl hairpin from Qin Sisi’s storage ring, placing it on her head, and gestured towards Crescent Lake with his chin.
Qin Sisi was completely unaware of what happened while she was asleep, looking questioningly at Crescent Lake. The moonlit bridge had disappeared, the lake waters were deep and dark, with the lodic song emanating from beneath the surface.
"Who’s singing?" Qin Sisi instantly beca alert, softly inquiring Ye You.
Ye You shook his head, replying, "I’m not sure; it should be a demonic beast adept in music magic!"
To attract other creatures into the lake with its song was clearly a form of music magic.
Qin Sisi felt so interest rising in her heart; having practiced music magic, besides her teachers and classmates, she hadn’t encountered others skilled in music magic nor any such demonic beasts. Finding one in this vast desert aroused her curiosity.
"Shall we take a look?" Qin Sisi sought Ye You’s opinion.
Ye You imdiately opposed, "No, since it resides in the lake, it should be a water-dwelling creature familiar with water, whereas we are completely unfamiliar with this lake. Entering the water would be disadvantageous for us."
Qin Sisi nodded in agreent, her eyes moving thoughtfully, she whispered, "We can’t go in, so we’ll have to make it co out."
Ye You said, "I’m afraid it won’t co out willingly."
If the song was the beast’s strongest weapon, it naturally wouldn’t want to use its weaknesses to confront others’ strengths, and unless absolutely necessary, it surely would not leave the lake.
"Let
try."
Qin Sisi said, jumping down from Ye You’s embrace, standing on the now cold yellow sand, facing Crescent Lake, raising a paw lightly.
She communicated with the Water Spirit Pearl inside her, releasing water attribute magic power, a water-blue magic light shot from her snow-white paw, straight to the center of Crescent Lake.
The lake water was stirred by the water attribute magic power, forming a water dragon about a ter in diater.
Qin Sisi raised her paw higher, and the water dragon followed upwards. When the amount of water she could muster reached her limit, she abruptly flung her paw to the side, and the water dragon followed suit.
With a "splash," most of the lake water in the water dragon doused the shore.
The tall trees and dense shrubs on the shore, all very thirsty for water, energetically absorbed the water as soon as they felt it coming.
The sand covering the ground was highly perable, absorbing the falling lake water swiftly.
Qin Sisi then summoned a second water dragon, this ti drawing up slightly less water and sending the water dragon to a farther location from the lake, where the sandy ground was even more water-starved, absorbing the water more thoroughly.
Next was the third water dragon, then the fourth...
Ye You understood Qin Sisi’s plan and stepped forward to assist. Although he didn’t have as strong water magic as Qin Sisi, he had now reached Magic Lord Level, possessing powerful overall magic strength, allowing him to sweep the lake water to the shore. However, his speed in forming water dragons was slower, and the water volu dragon smaller than Qin Sisi’s.
The two of them continuously drew water from Crescent Lake to the shore, the water level in the lake getting lower and shallower, revealing vast areas of wet lake bed.
The lodic song had stopped, silence all around, broken only by the sound of lake water being splashed onto the shore.
