Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403: The Heartbroken’s Fury
The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. The winning Snowcap Skunk No. 2 smoothly won the beauty’s heart, while the defeated Snowcap Skunk No. 1 could only lie miserably in the desolate bushes.
Qin Sisi felt a bit sympathetic for the poor loser. Seeing the Snowcap Skunk lying motionless, she even wondered if it was already dead, so she wanted to go over and take a look.
Just as she stepped out, Ye You pulled her back, "What are you doing?"
Qin Sisi replied softly, "I’m going to see it. Why hasn’t it moved at all?"
Ye You said in a low voice, "No, I’ve heard skunks are very slly. What if it hurts you?"
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont and said, "It probably won’t. I’m not trying to harm it. I just want to take a look from a distance. As long as I can confirm it’s not dead, I’ll co right back."
Ye You could tell Qin Sisi really wanted to go, so he reluctantly said, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
After speaking, he picked up Qin Sisi and slowly walked towards the Snowcap Skunk No. 1 lying in the bushes.
As Ye You approached, the Snowcap Skunk remained still, so Ye You walked right up to it.
Qin Sisi blinked her eyes and asked softly, "Is it still alive?"
Just as Ye You was about to speak, the Snowcap Skunk suddenly leapt up. Just with a faint sound of "poof," a green mist spread out, and a strong and peculiar odor exploded in the air around them.
The silver bottle shatters and the water gushes forth; iron-clad riders erge, and the sound of weapons clashing is heard.
Stinky, indescribably stinky!
It’s like a burnt rubber tire steaming under your nose. No, that’s not enough.
When this small creature, after millions of years of evolution, distills thousand moves into one decisive stroke at your nose tip, all languages seem pale.
The sudden situation left Ye You montarily bewildered, and then he quickly regained his senses, snatching Qin Sisi away from this olfactory disaster.
The initiator had long escaped without a trace.
Snowcap Skunk No. 1 was in a foul mood. It had initially discovered that female Snowcap Skunk, tried everything to win her heart, and seed almost successful. Then a bigger and stronger Snowcap Skunk intervened, defeated him, and stole the love.
The heartbroken Snowcap Skunk No. 1 was deeply frustrated. It lay in the bushes, wanting to rest, but even this small wish couldn’t be fulfilled.
It saw a person and a cat approaching, speaking intimately, looking very satisfied.
May lovers in the world never beco partners.
This was the sentint of Snowcap Skunk No. 1 at the ti, so it pretended to be unconscious, and when the person and cat were least aware, launched its most powerful attack on them.
Its magic power wasn’t strong, but its innate biochemical weapon was sothing few creatures could resist.
Ye You and Qin Sisi were indeed hit hard by the attack. Ye You quickly conjured his magic wings and fled the scene, bringing Qin Sisi to a stream, where both jumped in to start washing.
However, they had underestimated the potency of the Snowcap Skunk’s biochemical weapon. Soon, Ye You’s skin started showing bluish-green spots, as if covered with rotting weeds.
Qin Sisi’s white fur also had patches of bluish-green, turning her into a strange tabby cat.
They looked at each other, feeling both helpless and amused.
"Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t know Snowcap Skunks were so powerful," Qin Sisi apologized to Ye You, feeling guilty. If she hadn’t been so sympathetic and insisted on checking the wounded Snowcap Skunk, they wouldn’t be in such a ss.
Ye You sighed and said, "Forget it. It’s also my fault for not being cautious enough, underestimating the enemy."
They both considered Snowcap Skunks to be small-sized and relatively less harmful animals, but the truth revealed that although Snowcap Skunks are small, they are not weak.
One person and one cat spent hours in the stream washing, the stench lessened but was still severe, resembling two walking trash bins.
The bluish-green spots on their bodies remained, one tabby person and one tabby cat, complenting each other.
At this mont, Ye You belatedly realized they might have been poisoned?
He then hurriedly retrieved two Jade lting Pills from his Portable Space to detoxify himself and Qin Sisi.
Ye You guessed correctly. The green smoke released by the Snowcap Skunk was indeed toxic, although not lethal, it could leave bluish-green spots on the body’s surface that persist for months or even years.
Ye You was now a seventh-level Alchemist, and Qin Sisi’s Magic Level was right at the Level Seven Magic Emperor level. Ye You’s Jade lting Pill successfully removed the poison from Qin Sisi, turning her back into the cute white cat.
However, Ye You was a Level Eight Magic Lord now, and his own seventh-level pills could not suffice for himself, eliminating only part of the poison while the rest only slowly dissipated.
Thus, the bluish-green spots on Ye You’s body only beca lighter, not completely eradicated.
Qin Sisi also tried using Water Magic to help Ye You expel the toxins, which had so effect, but since Qin Sisi’s magic power was limited, it couldn’t reach the best level, so the spots on Ye You still existed, though their color was lighter.
"Let’s just leave it for now!" Ye You had to choose to temporarily give up. Anyway, they knew the root cause of the issue, and would recover sooner or later.
This incident delayed their departure plans, and they had to linger another day nearby before setting off again.
Continuing northward, the temperature dropped further, and the number of green plants began to decrease. Tall trees and shrubs vanished one after another, leaving only low bushes.
Further north, even the bushes disappeared, leaving only cold rocks and frozen soil.
Qin Sisi and Ye You felt the winter chill. Ye You put on thicker clothing and cut the sleeve of a self-heating shirt to make clothes for Qin Sisi.
The wind grew stronger, making flying difficult, so they started walking on the ground.
As they continued northward, snow began appearing on the ground, scattered around, indicating frequent snowfall here.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but feel emotional; the unbearable heat of the Deep Pupil Desert seed just behind them, and now they’ve arrived in this frigid world, the contrast is striking.
After months of traveling northward, they reached the foot of Yuding Snow Mountain.
Yuding Snow Mountain is a natural boundary line; crossing it ans officially entering the Extre North Ice Field.
