Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Riding the Snake Out of the Cave_1
Qin Sisi asked in surprise, "Where is this sound of the zither coming from?"
Jiu Ge paused slightly before answering, "It should be from outside."
Qin Sisi was even more astonished, "But we are tens of ters below the ground and there is only one small hole to exit from. How could sound from a zither possibly reach us?"
Jiu Ge looked at her for a mont. It appeared as though she truly was from a different world, and she didn’t understand many common things yet.
He patiently explained, "Ordinary sounds naturally cannot reach us, but a sound imbued with significant magic power can."
While they conversed, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python on the ground suddenly exerted so force and moved its body a few tis.
Qin Sisi jumped in fright thinking that the giant python had recovered its strength and was ready to fight them again.
However, she quickly realized that she was wrong. The Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python didn’t even look at them, but was crawling towards the depths of the rocky cave, its body contorted into wave-like movents along the ground.
Qin Sisi suddenly thought of a possibility and imdiately followed the python.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jiu Ge reached out to grab Qin Sisi’s arm.
Qin Sisi veered her body to avoid Jiu Ge’s hand, and said coldly, "Since we are not friends, it’s better for us not to walk together. Let’s go our own ways!"
Having said that, Qin Sisi walked away without looking back.
Jiu Ge watched Qin Sisi’s retreating figure, frowning slightly. The cave naturally had an exit, but one had to follow the Qinbing River a long way. Given Qin Sisi’s speed, it would take at least ten hours to walk there.
In Jiu Ge’s eyes, that was Qin Sisi’s only choice.
The hole they had fallen through was narrow and deep. He could barely climb up, while Qin Sisi absolutely could not with her current level of magic power.
Wait...
Jiu Ge’s eyebrows raised slightly, having realized that he seed to have overlooked sothing.
Qin Sisi had left following the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python, the python’s body was slightly narrower than the hole and could leave, it seed that Qin Sisi was planning to use the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python?
Jiu Ge was shocked by his own thought. Even after being injured, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python was still a Level Four peak Demonic Beast. There was no way low-level Magic Instructor like Qin Sisi could control it, especially when she herself was seriously injured.
Jiu Ge imdiately sprang up and chased after Qin Sisi and the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
Upon arriving at their landing place, he witnessed a ghastly scene.
Qin Sisi was clinging tightly to the tail of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python. In order to rid itself of this "nuisance" clinging to its tail, the python was fiercely lashing its tail, shaking from left to right, and then from right to left.
Qin Sisi stubbornly refused to let go, gripping with her arms and legs, using all her strength to hang onto the python’s tail. Her body was being constantly whipped around by the python. The fierce impact and excruciating pain nearly made her faint.
Jiu Ge felt as if the python’s tail was lashing his own heart, an unprecedented feeling welling up within him.
"Qin Sisi, let go quickly, I will take you out," Jiu Ge shouted at Qin Sisi.
But Qin Sisi ignored him. She didn’t trust Jiu Ge; he had deceived her once, and he could deceive her again.
She continued to cling tightly to the tail of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python. This was her only hope. She was determined to leave this strange cave using her own strength.
However, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python continued to fiercely shake, and Qin Sisi’s body gradually slid downwards. The scales on the python’s body were rough but offered no place to latch onto securely.
With a loud "bang," the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python lashed its tail again, causing Qin Sisi to slide down a little further. Desperation surged up in her heart. If this continued, she was going to get thrown off sooner or later.
Suddenly, a small patch of bare, dark-green skin appeared in front of her eyes—it looked very soft. It was the skin of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
Qin Sisi rembered when the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python was fighting Jiu Ge earlier, a flock of red birds conjured by Jiu Ge had pecked away a lot of its scales. The bare skin she was seeing now probably belonged to the part where the scales had been pecked off!
At this mont, half of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python’s body had crawled into the narrow hole leading to the surface. Hope was within sight. Qin Sisi knew she could not abandon it under any circumstances.
With a determined heart, she opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on the python’s exposed skin.
Her teeth could help her hold onto the python more securely. Additionally, the pain might make the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python speed up its escape.
However, Qin Sisi wasn’t sure if this would infuriate the python, prompting it to backtrack and deal with her before climbing upward again.
But she felt that the probability of this happening was extrely low. She could hear the zither sound becoming increasingly urgent. Qin Sisi had guessed that the sound was calling the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python. Under such an urgent summons, she was betting the python would choose to leave as fast as it could, rather than fight her again.
Her gamble paid off.
After being bitten hard by Qin Sisi, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python’s body trembled in pain. After a brief pause, it suddenly sped up and began crawling to the surface through the narrow hole.
Soon, the python erged back onto the surface. Qin Sisi finally saw the bright sunlight, causing her to heave a sigh of relief.
Once the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python fully left the hole, it coiled up its tail and lashed it hard against the ground.
Having finally made her way out of the cold cave through her painstaking efforts, Qin Sisi was still imrsed in the joy of escaping danger and didn’t notice that she’d been flung off by the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
Her battered body flew out like a leaf, landing dozens of ters away on a hillside before rolling another dozen or so ters down before being stopped by a rock.
"Sisi!" a familiar voice rang out, as a figure clad in black rapidly approached her.
Qin Sisi struggled to open her eyes to see Ye You rushing towards her. She could even see the worried and anxious expression on his face, and those deep purple eyes of his.
"Ye You, Xiao Hei..."
Qin Sisi slowly raised her hand, as though she wanted to place her hand in Ye You’s. But the next second, her wrist fell limply, and her consciousness sank into darkness.
Jiu Ge, who was still in the cave, looked up, watching as Qin Sisi, clinging to the tail of the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python, left the cave. There was a sense of lancholy in his heart.
She’d finally done it, using her own strength.
Jiu Ge sighed, walked under the narrow hole, and waved the Thunder Break Fan in his hand. A strange wind arose under his feet.
This strange wind lifted Jiu Ge’s body, gradually taking him out of the hole and back onto the surface.
