Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Side Effects of the Wings of Rainbow
Li Li originally harbored a great deal of doubt, pondering how Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan, with their magic levels, could not possibly have traveled too fast without activating the Wind Valley.
So after successfully capturing a Wind Spirit Eagle, she went to search for them near the entrance, but after a long search, she still couldn’t find them.
As dusk approached, Li Li, having no other choice, prepared to return, but she accidentally stumbled upon the figures of Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan.
Upon hearing Li Li ntion she had found a Hollow Spirit Spin for them, both Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan were shocked; Li Li usually appeared cold and detached, not soone who seed keen on helping others.
"Miss Li Li, are you serious?" Wen Xuan asked with a mixture of skepticism and belief.
"Nonsense, just follow !" Li Li glowered at Wen Xuan and, turning around, flew off in a particular direction.
Coming from the Changkong family, her intrinsic attribute was the Wind Attribute, and the fierce winds of the Wind Valley were quite conducive to her wind-riding skills.
Qin Sisi watched Li Li’s retreating figure, controlling the Wings of Rainbow to follow.
Li Li had never acted against her before, so she chose to trust her for the ti being.
Worried about Qin Sisi’s speed, Li Li did not dare to fly too quickly. However, when she looked back at Qin Sisi, she realized with the Wings of Rainbow, Sisi’s flight was both fast and stable, leaving no need for concern, so Li Li sped up as well.
After all, night was fast approaching, and higher-level Demonic Beasts were bound to arise.
Having flown back and forth several tis already, Li Li was very familiar with the local terrain, so she quickly led Qin Sisi to the targeted area. Sure enough, a Hollow Spirit Spin was there, slowly swirling in place.
Li Li stood not far from the Hollow Spirit Spin and turned to Qin Sisi, saying, "It’s right here."
Li Li tilted her chin up, a hint of disdain in her eyes as if to express her dissatisfaction with Qin Sisi and the others for their earlier mistrust.
Upon seeing the Hollow Spirit Spin, Qin Sisi knew that Li Li was indeed helping them. She flew in front of Li Li and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Li Li’s eyebrows twitched upward as she coldly replied, "Don’t thank . It was my young master’s orders, telling
to help you out if I got the chance."
Jiu Ge again?
Qin Sisi pondered a bit, not minding Li Li’s chilliness, and continued gently, "Then please pass my thanks to your young master."
Li Li replied in a blunt manner, "I never carry ssages for the young master. If you want to say sothing, go say it yourself later."
Wen Xuan couldn’t help but frown; this girl was just too brusque.
Qin Sisi, however, smiled broadly, saying, "Alright."
After that word, she spoke no more, leading Wen Xuan to the Hollow Spirit Spin and turning to say, "Co on!"
Wen Xuan nodded, and the two placed their palms on the Hollow Spirit Spin together, prompting the Magic Source to turn and begin absorbing the Wind Spirit Power within.
The Wings of Rainbow glead excitedly once again, and the pale blue glow on Qin Sisi’s side beca much thicker.
The outco was the sa as last ti, three-quarters of the power was absorbed by Qin Sisi, and Wen Xuan took the remainder.
Qin Sisi smiled helplessly, turned to Wen Xuan, and said, "It’s fine, after all, we’ll still be together next ti."
Wen Xuan nodded readily. He had spent quite a bit of ti at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and knew that activating a Magic Attribute was no easy task.
To activate Wind Attribute Magic, one had to absorb the Wind Spirit Power from at least five Hollow Spirit Spins, and with only two Wind Magic classes a month, even if one could find a Hollow Spirit Spin each ti, it would take at least two and a half months.
Besides, most novices completely lacked an understanding of the Wind Valley and the likelihood of finding a Hollow Spirit Spin was very slim.
So might also have a lower aptitude for Wind Attribute Magic, requiring the absorption of more Wind Spirit Power, which made predicting the ti needed even more uncertain.
Wen Xuan had heard about a senior who took a year just to successfully activate Wind Attribute Magic.
So when he and Qin Sisi found three Hollow Spirit Spins on their first venture into Wind Valley, he felt extrely satisfied.
Seeing the Hollow Spirit Spin disappear, Li Li reminded them from the side, "We should hurry. It may be dangerous if we’re late."
Qin Sisi agreed and imdiately began to flap her Wings of Rainbow, flying towards Li Li’s direction, ready to return.
Just as they were about to muster all their strength to head back, they realized it was too late; danger had already appeared beside them.
They saw red eyes flickering in all directions. As dusk set in, those red eyes seed like emissaries from hell, eager to devour them right there.
"What are these things?" Wen Xuan couldn’t help exclaiming.
Li Li looked puzzled and muttered to herself, "This shouldn’t be. Wind Spirit Eagles aren’t social creatures, they shouldn’t be appearing in such numbers in one place."
Having seen many a ghastly ghost, Qin Sisi was much calr than Wen Xuan, but she also understood that those pairs of red eyes represented fierce Demonic Beasts.
Faced with so many Demonic Beasts all at once, Qin Sisi felt a shiver down her spine, and couldn’t help but turn slightly, scanning her surroundings.
With Qin Sisi’s movents, those red eyes shifted subtly.
Li Li suddenly realized and turned to Qin Sisi, saying, "I know what it is. It’s because of the Wings of Rainbow. As the sky grew dark, the beasts were attracted by the bright light of the Wings of Rainbow, and that’s why they’ve surrounded us."
Startled, Qin Sisi looked back at her strikingly colorful wings, lanting the truth in the old saying: with every gain, there’s a loss; with every advantage, a disadvantage.
"If I retract the Wings of Rainbow now, will they leave?" Qin Sisi asked. Now that they knew the cause, it was ti to think of a solution.
Li Li shook her head gravely, "I’m afraid not. Wind Spirit Eagles... they’re quite fond of human flesh."
"What?" Both Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan gasped in shock, the thought of their flesh being pecked clean by these beasts causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
Li Li’s wrist flicked, and a flashing longsword appeared in her hand, like a bright crecent moon, cutting a rift in the desolate night.
However, her actions seed hesitant, as if she was doubtful about defeating these beasts and carving a bloody path out of there.
Seeing this, Qin Sisi lightly touched her storage ring, and the glittering Moon Spirit Golden Feather was in her grasp, its delicate feathers shining like brilliant rays of sunlight.
Qin Sisi, together with Wen Xuan, flew over to Li Li’s side and declared, "If we can’t hide, then let’s fight our way out. Together!"
Li Li looked at her in astonishnt. Among the three of them, Qin Sisi had the lowest Magic Level; typically, she should have been the one to hang back. It was unexpected that she would show such courage in the face of danger.
Wen Xuan also held his white jade flute in hand, sorsaulted his body around, and prepared to cover their retreat.
