Chapter 797 - Qi Spirit

“Zap—”

The lightning she condensed wasn’t strong, but it frightened the people present.

The spirit beast that was struck instantly turned into a small speck and vanished in midair.

This time, no similar spirit beast appeared again.

“Zap—”

“Zap—”

Sima You Yue took advantage of the stupefaction of the spirit beasts and the humans to strike down twice more and dispersed the two spirit beasts.

“Use the lightning attribute, quickly use the lightning attribute!” Kong Xiang Yi shouted.

There were still a few people here who possessed lightning attributes. Although their powers were not as pure as You Yue, their effect would still be good if they hit the spirit beasts.

Half of the spirit beasts that besieged them were wiped out a while later, and the rest after seeing that their casualties of their companions retreated, as if they were an organization.

“They...retreated?” Those people couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the spirit beasts retreating like a tide.

“Although I don’t know why, it’s good they retreated.”

When Fan Lei saw the spirit beasts retreat, he recalled the first lightning bolt that Sima You Yue struck. He curiously asked, “You Yue, how did you known that lightning is deterrent ot them?”

“I guess.” Sima You Yue replied.

“How did you guess?” Fan Lei asked.

“...” Sima You Yue silently looked at the guy who had a desire to get to the bottom of everything. “Because they are not real spirit beasts.”

“Not real spirit beasts?”

Everyone’s attention was drawn over as if waiting for her to explain.

“These spirit beasts matched those in the ancient books. Some are from antiquity and some are from the ancient times.” Sima You Yue said. ” No spirit beasts can live this so long, so they can’t live until now. If they’re sealed in the spirit stones and recently break out of their seals, their strength would not be this weak. And there won’t be so many spirit stones in the mausoleum. This is neither an ancient mine nor a relic of an antiquity sect.

“So you guess they are fake?”

“Yes.”

“But you said that we aren’t in an illusion array.” Someone asked.

“Those are not illusions!” Sima You Yue remarked. “It is not related to the illusion array.”

“Then what are they?”

“It’s some Qi spirit.” SIma You Yue replied.

“Qi spirit? What is that?”

It was a strange term for many people, it was the first time they heard of it.

“They’re spirit beasts formed from Qi spirit under a certain environment. They will form the type of spirit beast that existed during that period. But they are weaker than the real ones.” Big Wei explained.

“This mausoleum is isolated from outside with a spirit ward. So when the environment here changes, they are formed by the Qi spirit.” Little Wei said. “No wonder they are so weak, so it was this”

“Has the Qi spirit’s power always been this weak?”

“No. Their power would increase with time. If they are beaten, they’ll absorb our spirit power and form a more powerful Qi spirit.” Big Wei said.

“That’s right, I discovered that after killing some of them, more powerful ones appeared.” Han Miao Shuang said.

“Their strengths are so low, it should be because they formed not long ago. If you encounter one who formed a long time ago, it would not be easy to deal with.”

“But…. if the spirit power is tonic to the Qi spirit, why can lightning attribute?”

“In fact, fire is also possible, but ordinary flames are useless. Unless you have the deviant flame.” Sima You Yue explained. “After all, this Qi spirit is an abnormal thing, and lightning attributes is it’s natural counter so it would work.”

“Ahhh—”

A scream came from deep within the mausoleum, making everyone’s heart stirred.

“Miss, it’s our valley’s brother.” A man beside Kong Xiao Yi spoke.

“Let’s go and see.” Kong Xiang Yi also recognized the voice to be someone she knew. She led people rushing over.

“We’ll also go over to see.” Fan Lei commanded and the people of the sect followed.

They passed a long corridor. After exiting the corridor, they weren’t able to hear anything outside, as if they entered a silent world.

“Today, we’re inside the array.” Big Wei didn’t panic, instead he worked together with Little Wei and broke the array quickly.

They seemed to be in a huge cave at this time. There were passages in all directions, and they weren’t sure where to go.

Although the formation was broken, they couldn’t hear Jing Wen’s voice. But it was not as quiet as just then.

“I heard their voice just then, why can’t I now?” Kong Xiang Yi was puzzled.

We should have gone astray from their direction when we came in.” Little Wei said. “There are many arrays here, everywhere. Maybe different arrays will lead us to different ground levels.

“What should we do? We don’t even know where they are now.” Kong Xiang Yi said anxiously.

“Don’t panic, Xiang Yi.” Sima You Yue assured. “There are many arrays here. I think they probably are not far. They should be near us. We just need to find their way.”

“But it’s so dangerous here, how do we find them?” Han Miao Shuang grabbed her shoulder. “Don’t go running around. How dangerous would it be if you encountered a trap array. This is an antiquity mausoleum, who knows what is inside it.”

Sima You Yue saw the worry in Han Miao Shuang’s eyes, she smiled, “I won’t run around. I will let people find it for us.”

“Who will you ask?”

Sima You Yue summoned hundreds of Scarlet bees. After explaining to them, they flew to the various passages.

Currently, the number of scarlet bees in the Spirit Pagoda skyrocketed. Several hundreds of them were a drop of a bucket to her. At this rate, she wasn’t sure if the scarlet bees would flood.

Should she have the Scarlet Queen Bee controlled her reproduction?

“Scarlet bee!” The teacher of the sect recognized the scarlet bee. After the scarlet bees left, they turned their eyes to Sima You Yue.

“Little junior brother, why do I have so many scarlet bees? Several hundreds of them came out?” Han Miao Shuang looked at Sima You Yue with bright eyes. She excitedly exclaimed, “You have all these scarlet bees, do you have scarlet honey?”

“I do.”

“You do?! Why don’t you share some with me, little junior brother. You’re too stingy.” Han Miao Shuang poked at her head.

“Didn’t you eat it before?” Sima You Yue grabbed her finger. “Everytime, I barbecue, I add honey…”

“Are you saying it’s scarlet honey?” Han Miao Shuang cried out.

“Yes. I only have scarlet honey, what else could it be?”

“Like I said, the taste of honey was different from the past! Aahhhh…. I actually ate scarlet honey yet I didn’t know!”

Jiang Jun Zhe and Su Xiao Xiao were shocked, but they wouldn’t act as embarrassingly as her!
