The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 103 The Emergency

Hua Qiyue closed her eyes and started to refresh her spirit. But unexpectedly, the feeling of being stared at from behind returned, making her very uncomfortable!

Hua Qiyue turned her head at once and her eyes met with the eyes of a brutal beast. The look in the beast’s eyes shined as if it were alive!

She freaked out and looked to Yun Shimo who was still standing there silently and quietly, while he looked at the increasingly stronger fire.

The temperature was higher and higher.

Hua Qiyue sat for a while. Finally, she couldn’t bear to sit there anymore, so, she had to stay away from that corner and sat far from there. However, when she closed her eyes, she still felt that there was something staring at her.

Yun Shimo walked to her calmly and sat beside her.

Hua Qiyue felt a little relieved when she smelt the fragrance of herbs coming from him, and she didn’t worry about the stare behind her anymore.

When they refreshed their spirits quietly, they heard the “puff” sounds many times. The temperature in the hall was higher and higher which made Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo, who were far away from the stove, feel roasted and end up drenched in sweat.

“If we still have no way to deal with it, we’ll be burned to a crisp.” Hua Qiyue couldn’t contain herself anymore and stood up. The fire in the stove was as high as half a man.

Yun Shimo also stood up and looked at the golden walls. He slowly raised his hands and a ball of light, which had the same size as a fist, appeared in his hands.

“Fist of Strike Force!” A sexy and fair-sounding voice sounded. Hua Qiyue watched that ball of light heavily smashing on the walls. However, the walls were as solid as iron and they didn’t shake, just like the walls in the stone cottage.

Hua Qiyue frowned and she saw that the golden light on the walls seemed to be stronger.

“These walls can’t be attacked with spiritual energy either, otherwise, their effect will get stronger.” Yun Shimo stopped and said coldly.

Hua Qiyue was too shocked.

They couldn’t do this, they couldn’t do that, so, they had to wait to die?

“What should we do? Yun Shimo, are we going to wait until we die?” Hua Qiyue was so worried that her throat became hoarse. Yun Shimo looked gloomy and sullen without any ideas.

Yun Shimo walked around in the hall and closed his eyes slightly, saying, “This should be the legendary Fire of Burning. This kind of fire won’t be extinguished no matter what you do. Besides, it also has great power. What we need to do is to find something useful on the walls.”

“Fire of Burning?” Hua Qiyue frowned and asked.

“Hua Qiyue, spend more time on reading, you cannot only depend on advanced Qi Arts to live in this world,” Yun Shimo said and glanced at Hua Qiyue coldly, saying, “Yuan Ji Magic Things mentioned that Fire of Burning, a kind of fire owned by the beasts that have cultivated all the way to becoming divine beasts. That’s to say, the predecessor should be the spirit animal that evolved by self-cultivation… Even the Qi Artists at the Great Deity stage and the legendary people at deity levels cannot resist the power of this kind of fire.”

What Yun Shimo said confused Hua Qiyue. She said, “What should we do? You said that those walls would inhale anima energy and get stronger when we hit them!”

The fire wouldn’t be extinguished and the walls wouldn’t be broken. They would be roasted!

“It must have weaknesses. Stop attacking, let’s find out its weaknesses!” Saying this, Yun Shimo knocked and touched the walls.

Hua Qiyue was helpless and slowly looked for clues with the increasingly high temperature.

Hua Qiyue had carefully touched every part of the walls including every evil beast and every spirit animal, but found nothing.

But when Hua Qiyue touched those beasts’ eyes, she had the feeling of an electric shock.

With another “puff” sound, the fire once again doubled. Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo turned around at the same time, only to see the fire in the stove that was as high as a man, and its temperature was more than ten times higher than normal flames.

Their facial expression changed because they were drenched in sweat. It was in the summer, and Hua Qiyue was wearing a light long dress, so, if her clothes were wet with sweat, the silk dress would tightly stick on her body, showing her beautiful figure.

Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Qiyue, flushing with shyness. He awkwardly twitched his mouth and wiped sweat, going on looking for the clues.

Fifteen minutes later, the fire doubled once more. Hua Qiyue’s mouth felt so dry that she wanted to lick the sweat on her body to quench her throat.

Hua Qiyue started to feel faint and her vision was a little blurred; she wasn’t sure if it was because of serious dehydration.

After a long while, Yun Shimo took out a needle with steam from his arms and stuck the needle into the eye of one of the beasts!

“Ouch!”

A howl of anguish sounded which made the hall slightly shake. Hua Qiyue was surprised and Yun Shimo naturally held her hands to pull her back!

Something happened on the walls!

The evil beast on the wall just now had been pricked in the eye by Yun Shimo. Now, blood was pouring out of it, lining out a red trail of blood!

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” The beast moved and it showed its real body. The beasts on the wall turned out to be alive!

Hua Qiyue looked like a thundercloud and thought, ‘There probably have several hundred beasts. If these beasts come to life at the same time and attack Yun Shimo and I, the outcome will only be bad. But it’ll be better than being roasted!’

After that evil beast howled, the other beasts on the walls also howled. Suddenly, the hall was filled with the sound of anguished howls, almost deafening them.

‘Yun Shimo, how did you know that these beasts were alive?’ Hua Qiyue inwardly praised for his cleverness because they could leave there only after finding the key point.

They should kill these beasts as soon as the beasts were off the walls, and that would probably be the solution.

“These walls are solid and there is no space between them. We’re in an imaginary scene which also has the ability to attack. Since we found nothing in the scene, we have to find the clues on these beasts,” Yun Shimo said calmly, and Hua Qiyue realized that he was still holding her hands, so, she coughed slightly.

Yun Shimo was a little surprised and he flushed embarrassedly. Hua Qiyue secretly glanced at him and suddenly felt that he was actually very cute…

Yun Shimo let go of her hands and said in a deep voice, “Be ready, these beasts are going to attack us together!”

Hua Qiyue halted and nodded to show her agreement.

The walls collapsed and hundreds of beasts flew to the sky. These beasts roared in fury at Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo, being fearless of the fire below.

Of course, this was arranged by the little thing. The little thing would definitely let the beasts and the fire be compatible with each other, otherwise, this test would be meaningless.

“Some of them are spirit animals, while some are evil beasts. Spirit animals are at a lower stage. Hua Qiyue, you’ll deal with the spirit animals and leave the evil beasts to me!” Yun Shimo said in a low voice and arranged everything ahead of time.

Therefore, they had their own jobs, but a dense group of beasts flying in the air looked horrifying.

After all, Hua Qiyue had never seen so many beasts!

“Okay!” Hua Qiyue answered without thinking. She knew that she wasn’t as outstanding as Yun Shimo.

At this moment, an evil beast rushed to Hua Qiyue with a fierce look on its face, and Yun Shimo gave a punch to the beast, only to see the evil beast suddenly fall to the ground.

Seeing this situation, other evil beasts roared with a furious look in their eyes and rushed toward Yun Shimo!

Yun Shimo leisurely unfolded his palm, only to see that there was a silver needle in his hand. A blue light slowly expanded in his palm and held up the needle!

Suddenly, the needle became bigger and emitted cool blue light which immediately lowered the temperature in the hall. Hua Qiyue bravely fought against the enemies. Although the spirit animal wasn’t real, every spirit animal had a steady flow of energy.

A spirit animal threw its tail at Hua Qiyue and Hua Qiyue stretched out her hand to catch the tail. She abruptly used all her energy and threw it back. Hua Qiyue floated in the air and the spirit animal was heavily beaten to the ground.

Other spirit animals saw that although Hua Qiyue was a woman, she was as robust as a man. They kept still in the air and stared at Hua Qiyue coldly.

Yun Shimo had already beaten tens of evil beasts, leaving them badly mutilated. However, these evil beasts recovered too quickly, bouncing back in a short time even if their heads were injured or if there were needles sticking into their hearts. Everything they did was in vain!

Hua Qiyue gasped. Actually, the Fire of Burning would also deplete people’s spiritual energies. Moreover, the temperature was high and she lacked energy, if those spirit animals rushed to her all together, she would definitely…

“Hua Qiyue! Watch out!” An angry roar astonished her when she was pondering. She turned around, only to see an evil beast open its big mouth and its tusks suddenly became longer. The tusks, shined with cold light, had already struck Hua Qiyue!

This was a quick sneak attack!

In fact, dealing with evil beasts was Yun Shimo’s job. However, this one could use invisibility and Yun Shimo didn’t notice it at all!

At the moment that Hua Qiyue thought that the tusks would stick into her body, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and puff—

Blood spurted out and the tusks stuck into that slender and white hand, but the tusks were totally stopped by the hand!

Hua Qiyue looked at that hand with a bid hole in shock. Although she wasn’t injured, her heart was hurt as if something stuck into her own heart.

“Be quick! Deal with other spirit animals!”

Yun Shimo’s face was pale and said coldly. When the emergency occurred, he came to the front of Hua Qiyue like lightning.

Although Hua Qiyue could use Mourning Steps, she couldn’t be quicker if she used it because she lacked spiritual energy.

Hua Qiyue felt grateful and glanced at Yun Shimo when she came to reality. She felt sorry about his injured and bloody hand, but this wasn’t the time to say “thank you”.

She turned around and saw several spirit animals coming to her. Hua Qiyue roared and threw out several light swords, breaking every spirit animal rushing to her in two.

All of a sudden, the broken spirit animals were put together and after fifteen minutes, they returned to normal.

So, these spirit animals were constantly injured and cut but quickly recovered.

Hua Qiyue had exhausted all her energy, but at last, she suddenly thought of her Spirit Summoning Art.

“D*mn! I was so nervous that I almost forgot my unique skill!” Hua Qiyue was angry and outraged. She suddenly felt that she was a total fool!

Hua Qiyue immediately mobilized the last anima energies and transferred them to her ten fingers, calling secretly, “Spirit Summoning Art!”

All of a sudden, innumerable invisible streams of air came out of her fingers and controlled all the spirit animals.

“Kill all the evil beasts, kill them!” Hua Qiyue ordered. Those spirit animals fiercely, as if having lost their souls, looked at those evil beasts that were fighting against Yun Shimo in the opposite side. The spirit animals roared and rushed to evil beasts crazily!

Seeing this, Hua Qiyue was relieved and felt her tongue so dry that it would split. She felt dizzy and suddenly blinded, and then she fainted.
