Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Terrifying Snake Mouth
The Devouring Sky Golden Python’s entire body was covered with hard golden scales that offered a strong defensive capability. They could ward off the majority of attacks, whether from blades, stones, fires, or water, inflicting minimal damage.
High offensive power combined with high defensive power made it a challenging demonic beast to contend with.
Qin Sisi quickly scanned it with her Divine Sense, and her heart sank at the sight of the brown light radiating from the Devouring Sky Golden Python.
Given her current situation, even if she encountered a Fifth Order demonic beast of the same level, her only option would be to flee. Unfortunately, fate had her face a Sixth Order demonic beast instead.
The Devouring Sky Golden Python’s red eyes, stationary as if they were the hanging red lanterns of the Underworld, fixed unblinkingly on Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but recall her graduation assessment when, within the Illusion picture scroll and as a Level Four Magic Star, she had faced the Flaming King Snake, a Fifth Order Demonic Beast one level higher than her. Although she won the battle, it came at a great cost.
Times had changed; not to mention that the attacking and defensive powers of the Sixth Order Devouring Sky Golden Python were significantly higher than those of the Fifth Order Flaming King Snake, but considering her current state, possessing the rank of a Magic Spirit with almost no fighting capability, she felt that it would be as easy for the Devouring Sky Golden Python to kill her as it would be to crush an ant.
However, the Devouring Sky Golden Python didn’t move for the moment, and Qin Sisi dared not make a sound, fearing that any noise might hasten her demise. Thus, they faced each other, the air almost coming to a standstill between them.
Just then, a large bird, oblivious to the situation, blundered into the scene and flew past not far in front of the Devouring Sky Golden Python.
The Devouring Sky Golden Python’s eyes glowed brighter with red light, and its gaping mouth, like a compressed spring, suddenly opened wide. The large bird, with a wingspan of about three to four meters, was instantly swallowed, a bulge moving slowly down its sleek body.
Qin Sisi was stunned, breaking out in cold sweat, realizing this creature was incredibly ferocious. If she stayed any longer, she might very well end up as its next meal.
Seizing the moment while the Devouring Sky Golden Python’s attention was still mostly on its recent snack, Qin Sisi called forth her Wings of Rainbow and desperately fled into the distance.
The red eyes of the Devouring Sky Golden Python shone with a ruthless light. As Qin Sisi moved, it did too; its hefty tail swung, propelling it through the air with leaps rather than true flight, the tail slapping down against the ground for additional thrust to leap forward.
Had Qin Sisi been in better condition, the divine power of the Wings of Rainbow would have allowed her to fly a bit faster than the Devouring Sky Golden Python, possibly escaping its pursuit.
But her strength was less than half-restored, and even with the aid of the Wings of Rainbow, her speed was significantly slower than usual. The gap between the Devouring Sky Golden Python and herself was closing.
When Qin Sisi entered its viable range for attack, the Devouring Sky Golden Python suddenly opened its huge maw and lunged toward her.
A dark shadow descended upon her, and Qin Sisi even felt the whisper of the Devouring Sky Golden Python’s breath on her back, sending shivers down her spine.
"Holy Fire Illusion Sword!" In this critical moment, Qin Sisi took out the Moon Spirit Golden Feather, summoned all her Magic power, and turned to release a Fire Attribute Magic skill right into the gaping mouth of the Devouring Sky Golden Python.
The Devouring Sky Golden Python’s exterior is covered with hard scales, but the inside of its mouth is tender, and the Holy Fire Illusion Sword struck precisely there. Moreover, the Moon Spirit Golden Feather had been upgraded to six stars by Master Shuoyu, making its damage impossible for the Devouring Sky Golden Python to ignore.
Seizing the moment when the Devouring Sky Golden Python was stiffened from the injury, Qin Sisi managed to escape from its gaping mouth. However, using that move had drained her magic power completely, leaving her more exhausted and her speed slower than before. She was anxious but powerless.
The injury inside its mouth made the Devouring Sky Golden Python throw its head back and howl in extreme anger. Although in pain, the injury was not enough to make it fearful or to retreat, but rather it made it even more ferocious. Flicking its tail, it leaped up again and chased after Qin Sisi.
It wasn’t long before the distance between Qin Sisi and the Devouring Sky Golden Python was close again. Learning from the past, the Devouring Sky Golden Python didn’t use its signature move of direct swallowing but chose to attack with its tail instead.
The tail, covered in hard scales, was like a moving wall of gold, brutally lashing out at Qin Sisi. Despite her best efforts to run, she could not avoid the massive tail.
With a loud "bang," Qin Sisi was struck directly by the tail of the Devouring Sky Golden Python, her body flung like a leaf in autumn wind to an unknown direction, then crashing into the trunk of a towering tree before sliding down to the ground.
Her body felt as if it no longer belonged to her; her internal organs seemed like lifeless fragments. Qin Sisi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, her face pale as paper. Grasping at the wild grass on the ground with her fingers, she weakly lifted her head. Now, she had no strength left to run or defend herself.
Was this truly her final moment?
But there were so many things she hadn’t yet done, so many desires unfulfilled. She wanted to accompany Ye You in his quest for revenge and watch him ascend to the position of Sage Ruler.
Ye You had promised to marry her, to make her the Sage Queen, but it seemed she might not live to see that day.
Seeing that its prey could no longer run, the Devouring Sky Golden Python was not in a hurry and slowly crawled over, opening its massive, bloody maw once again towards Qin Sisi.
As the looming shadow fell over her once more, Qin Sisi closed her eyes in despair, gripping the Moon Spirit Golden Feather even tighter. Even though she could not change her fate of being swallowed, she was determined to strike one last time from inside the belly of the Devouring Sky Golden Python.
Suddenly, a black figure darted over like an arrow, attacking the Devouring Sky Golden Python with both palms, releasing clusters of white Ice fog that swirled around the exterior of the Devouring Sky Golden Python, growing thicker by the moment.
Qin Sisi trembled, opening her eyes in shock. The slender, petite figure was not Ye You but looked somewhat familiar, though she couldn’t recall who it was at the moment.
Since pythons are cold-blooded and their bodies are naturally cold, they have a very low resistance to Ice Magic.
A quarter hour later, the Devouring Sky Golden Python was frozen inside a huge block of ice.
The slender, petite black figure exhaled deeply, glancing with lingering fear at the immense creature inside the ice block before turning and walking towards Qin Sisi, asking with concern, "How do you feel?"
A familiar voice, a familiar face, warmth surged in Qin Sisi’s heart: "Grandma Mad! How come it’s you?"
