Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Farewell
The Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief knew defeat was inevitable, yet it still dragged its heavily injured body, curling into a spherical shape and speeding towards Qin Sisi with all its might.
It no longer had the strength to use its magic skills, but the body of a Demonic Beast is far more formidable than that of a human. A desperate collision would surely be to the human’s disadvantage.
Qin Sisi’s initial thought was to dodge, but considering she planned to seriously practice Gold Attribute Magic in the future, she now wanted to practice the Vigor Gold Knife she had just learned.
The Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief was slowed by its injuries, its charging speed much reduced from the beginning, providing Qin Sisi with an opportunity to gather the power of magic.
Recalling the learning process in class, and the lonely toil of chopping stone late at night, Qin Sisi raised her arms, and the power of magic coalesced into a black machete above her head.
"Vigor Gold Knife!" she shouted coldly, and the black machete t the oncoming Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief with a powerful chop.
A swoosh rang out in front of her, Qin Sisi could even see the air itself being split apart, surging in two directions with a vacuum ford in the middle.
The Vigor Gold Knife, a Gold Attribute Magic skill, is renowned for its unstoppable attack power. The Golden Spine Hedgehog, a Gold attribute Demonic Beast, had an incredibly hard body.
In the end, it was the severely wounded Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief that could not withstand Qin Sisi’s increasing ferocity.
The black machete cleaved through the air, splitting the curled-up spherical body of the clan chief in two, green blood spraying in all directions. The two halves of the body fell lifelessly onto the grass, void of any signs of life.
It was then that Qin Sisi realized Demonic Beasts had green blood. The Golden Spine Hedgehogs she had killed before were with Fire Attribute Magic; their bodies burnt and without bloodshed.
Earlier on, when she, Ye You, and Yun Wang were fleeing Birdsong Forest, they encountered the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, which they also killed using Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute Magic, but Qin Sisi hadn’t taken notice of its blood.
"Well done!" As Qin Sisi was in a daze, the clear cheer of Ye You ca from behind.
Slowly, Qin Sisi turned around, her eyes locked on Ye You without blinking, her black hair in disarray, gasping for breath.
Ye You stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Qin Sisi in a tight embrace.
Then he let go of Qin Sisi, leapt forward, and cracked open the forehead of the Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief to find, as expected, a Third Level Magic Crystal Stone.
Black represents the Gold attribute; Magic Crystal Stones inside First Level Demonic Beasts are almost transparent and colorless. In contrast, this Third Level Magic Crystal Stone showed a clear black color, indicating the abundance of Gold attribute spirit power within.
Ye You asked Qin Sisi to spread out her hands and placed all the collected Magic Crystal Stones in her palms, saying aloud, "This is your achievent for today, how does it feel?"
Qin Sisi looked at the pile of hard-won Magic Crystal Stones, which appeared to be more nurous than yesterday. Ye You had said that Second Order Demonic Beasts have a thirty percent chance of containing Magic Crystal Stones.
More importantly, there was a Third Level Magic Crystal Stone among them.
Today’s gains were certainly much greater than yesterday’s.
Qin Sisi exhaled and said in a deep voice, "It feels... quite difficult."
Ye You nodded with profound aning, "The process of practicing and leveling up is naturally hard, but if you want to take control of your own destiny, you have no choice but to keep getting stronger."
His words were not only ant for Qin Sisi but also for himself.
Two of them returned to the cave, and under Ye You’s guidance, Qin Sisi absorbed all the Gold attribute spiritual power from the Magic Crystal Stones they had gathered that day.
The spiritual power of these Magic Crystal Stones was far greater than those of yesterday, and Qin Sisi clearly felt a trace of transparent spiritual power entering her body, with the black speck in her Magic Source flickering incessantly.
After it stopped flickering, Qin Sisi could see its color had beco even deeper.
After lunch, the two rested for a while.
In the afternoon, Ye You led Qin Sisi once more to a Golden Pick Hedgehog’s burrow, engaging in a battle similar to that of the morning.
The Golden Pick Hedgehogs here were Second Order as well, only their Clan Chief was Third Order.
With the experience from the previous fight, Qin Sisi handled the battle with much more ease, taking much less ti than she had in the morning.
During the duel with the Golden Spine Hedgehog Clan Chief, she managed to control the pace of the fight, defeating this burrow’s Clan Chief using the sa thod and obtaining another Third Level Magic Crystal Stone.
That evening, after Qin Sisi had absorbed all the Gold attribute spiritual power from the Magic Crystal Stones gained in the afternoon, she could see that the black speck inside her Magic Source was even darker than at noon, as if it had been sared with ink.
While Ye You was practicing alchemy, Qin Sisi also took out the Jiu Hua Divine Cauldron and forged another sword using the remaining Thousand-year black iron.
After her proficiency in Gold Attribute Magic had improved, Qin Sisi felt the process of forging was much smoother. The Gold attribute magic power she could condense was now much stronger, speeding up the refinent and cutting processes, and she was able to achieve a higher purity in the materials, resulting in a sword that was smoother and sharper.
After completion, Qin Sisi compared the sword she made today with the one from yesterday; it was obvious that yesterday’s sword was cruder, while today’s was much more exquisite.
Qin Sisi was quite satisfied with today’s sword and gained even more confidence in her future sword-forging practice.
Late at night, one person and one cat embraced each other in sleep.
Thinking that they would part ways tomorrow, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but hold Ye You very tightly.
Ye You snuggled into Qin Sisi’s arms, feeling her reluctance, and let out a soft sigh, rubbing his fluffy head against her chest.
This night of impending separation seed especially brief, and daybreak ca quickly. It was the third and last day of rest, and classes would resu tomorrow, so Qin Sisi had to hurry back today.
She had wanted to stay with Ye You until noon before returning, but Ye You was worried that if she returned too late, so people with intentions might notice her, which could be detrintal to her, so after having breakfast together, Ye You brought Qin Sisi to the carriage they had arrived in.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with a touch of lancholy and bit her lip without speaking.
Ye You gently kissed her forehead and softly said, "Be good and go back early. I will try to find a chance to co see you."
Qin Sisi asked softly, "Aren’t you going to soplace far away?"
Ye You had told her the previous night that practicing alchemy required a variety of herbs, and the Holy Forest’s northern location had a colder climate with fewer varieties and quantities of herbs, so he planned to travel south.
The southern end of Scholar City bordered i Lan Family’s Qingyin City, where Biyuan Forest lay.
Further south, at the border between the Muyin Family’s Biyun City and Phantom Spirit Family’s Flower Fragrance City, there was a Dreamlike Forest.
