Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Golden Lightning
If Qin Sisi couldn’t heal Sunset Goose’s wound before they hit the ground, they would probably both end up smashed into a pulp.
Qin Sisi knew that the assessnt wouldn’t be easy to pass; in the previous assessnts, each ti it was always a matter of life and death, and this ti was no exception.
The abyss without visible bottom, the injured Sunset Goose—if not relying on the Wings of Rainbow, then one must quickly heal Sunset Goose’s wounds.
She clung tightly to Sunset Goose’s neck, trying to calm her heart, ignoring the desperately struggling and swinging Sunset Goose, not thinking about the unfathomable bottomless abyss, focusing all her attention on the wound of Sunset Goose.
The light green Wood Attribute Magic Power was transford by Grass Shines Sunshine into a suprely effective Spiritual Power, slowly drifting into Sunset Goose’s wound; the green blood gradually ceased to flow out.
It was hard to tell how much ti had passed when Qin Sisi’s line of sight was finally able to pierce through the dense foliage and see the land, and even make out the shapes of the leaves at the tops of the trees.
Finally, Sunset Goose’s wound had healed. Qin Sisi gently stroked its soft feathers and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Sunset Goose spread its huge wings, the edges grazing the tree leaves as it glided through the low sky above the trees, soaring.
Soon, it soared into the clear blue sky, where this ti, there was nothing to obstruct its speed.
Monts later, Sunset Goose flew over an open area; below was not the dense forest, but a green, grassy plain.
Sunset Goose let out a cry, stretching its neck to dive rapidly. Qin Sisi clung to its neck as the fierce wind howled past her ears.
In the end, Sunset Goose placed Qin Sisi on that lush patch of grass, pecked at her palm with its beak, then turned and flew away.
Qin Sisi watched the figure of Sunset Goose disappear into the horizon before retracting her gaze; there lay in her palm a superior-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pill, left to her by Sunset Goose.
It seems that her performance in Wood Magic was only average; she lightly sighed, swallowed the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, and then lifted her head to start surveying her surroundings.
This was a vast plain as far as the eye could see, blue sky, white clouds, plain—a truly beautiful picture.
But Qin Sisi had a feeling that sothing dangerous was waiting for her.
Just as she was looking around, a sharp cry abruptly broke the serenity of this beautiful environnt.
Qin Sisi instinctively sensed the danger, turned and leaped to the side, rolling several tis to a distant spot.
Before she could stop, a huge impact sound erupted near her.
She looked up to see that where she had been standing there was now a large pit approximately three to four ters wide and about two ters deep.
Had she still been in that position, she would surely have been dead by now.
The attack seed to have co from above; Qin Sisi hurriedly looked up to see several golden birds flying in the clear blue sky, each of them no less majestic than the Sunset Goose just now, even appearing stronger.
Their feathers were all golden, making them look extrely noble.
Qin Sisi was observing her opponents when one of the golden birds suddenly opened its sharp beak and emitted a "ka—" sound.
Then, a golden lightning bolt ford right out of its mouth!
Golden lightning wrapped in the powerful Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power struck directly at Qin Sisi.
Another one!
Qin Sisi was extrely nervous, and she imdiately leaped to the side, just as she had done before.
The next second after she left the area, the golden lightning had struck down, missing Qin Sisi and instead hitting where she had previously been, leaving another big pit.
Qin Sisi realized she was still too weak and that there was still so much she hadn’t learned.
During classes, the practice targets were usually inanimate objects, stones, wooden stakes, and the like, which naturally would not attack people actively.
But in reality, which opponent would just stand there and allow themselves to be hit?
This is the difference between training and real combat; no matter how extensive the training, it just increases practice ti, whereas real combat demands greater efficiency and the ability to respond to unpredictable situations.
As another golden bird spit out lightning at Qin Sisi, she looked at the grass under her feet and had a stroke of inspiration. As she jumped to the side to dodge, she released Earth Attribute Magic Power and burrowed into the ground.
If it was a grassland, then there must be soil underneath the grass where she could use the Earth Escape Skill.
Her guess was right; she easily entered the soil, the light dimming around her, surrounded by the damp earth.
Then a muffled "boom" echoed nearby, Qin Sisi knew that it was the lightning striking down, and where she had just been was certain to have another big pit ford.
But now she was hidden underground, and those golden birds in the sky couldn’t see her—they shouldn’t continue to shoot lightning, right?
Qin Sisi pondered silently; these golden birds were really terrifying, actually capable of shooting lightning from their mouths—the attack power of Thunder Magic was quite fearso.
She didn’t know the na of these birds, but since they attacked with lightning, let’s just call them Lightning Birds for now!
Qin Sisi hid in the soil for a while and didn’t hear the loud calls of the Lightning Birds or any thunderbolts striking down.
She knew that hiding in the soil was successful, but she couldn’t keep hiding forever. She rembered the Thunder Magic exercises from class and understood that to pass the assessnt, she at least had to bring down those Lightning Birds.
After waiting for a while, Qin Sisi guessed that the Lightning Birds had beco sowhat complacent. She then suddenly leaped from the ground, looked up to the sky, and quickly locked onto a Lightning Bird. In her palm, the accumulated Thunder Attribute Magic Power roared out, and Dingze Thunder, like a golden dragon, cut through the sky.
Qin Sisi did not have the chance to see whether Dingze Thunder hit the Lightning Bird as she quickly burrowed back into the ground and made a beeline deeper.
The next second, two muffled "boom-boom" sounds echoed in succession.
Qin Sisi knew that exposing herself would inevitably lead to an attack from the Lightning Birds, so she quickly burrowed back into the ground after releasing a Magic Skill.
As she predicted, two Lightning Birds launched attacks at her simultaneously, and two golden bolts of lightning blasted two more large pits into the verdant grassland.
Qin Sisi’s battle plan was basically set: hide in the soil, leap out when the Lightning Birds lost their bearing on her, attack with Dingze Thunder, and continue until all the Lightning Birds were brought down.
She counted quickly just now; there were six Lightning Birds flying in the sky. Based on the number she had brought down during class exercises with Cloud Piercing Cranes, this task was not too daunting.
The difficulty lay in the fact that Cloud Piercing Cranes did not attack, whereas the Lightning Birds would shoot out powerful lightning whenever they had the chance. She had to dodge in ti, or her life would be in great danger.
Qin Sisi felt as though she was in a ga of Whac-A-Mole, only the Lightning Birds were the people wielding hamrs of lightning, and she was the little mole sneaking around, panicking and scurrying.
