After sealing off the entire Dune area on the ground, Sang Qingxiao noticed the changes in the Silly Beast upon returning underground. Its moves were no longer limited to simply hammering with its fists; it had learned to dodge, and quite timely at that. This required a bit of intelligence to achieve.
In just a short span of time, during a brief exchange that lasted no more than two cups of tea, a simple-minded magical beast had improved so rapidly in combat? What was going on with it? Sang Qingxiao asked Li Cu.
Qi Xiaomian had given the Silly Beast the Magic Breath he had extracted from the Enchantress.
Hiss. He actually dared to do that! It seemed she had misjudged him. Sang Qingxiao had thought that Qi Xiaomian took the Magic Breath for emergencies. He didn't even know how long his Half-Demon body could last; it would be wise to gather more Magic Breath as a reserve. If he ultimately chose the path of magic, having stored up Magic Breath would reduce the risks during his transformation.
Sang Qingxiao couldn't fathom his thoughts, and neither could Li Cu. Despite being affected by the Magic Breath, Qi Xiaomian appeared completely unaffected, maintaining his humanity—a rare feat indeed. But even if he was balanced now, he shouldn't think he could fully become human. The Magic Breath was domineering; such thoughts were somewhat delusional.
Sang Qingxiao recalled the memories of the Silly Beast; perhaps there was still a Method to consider.
With Sang Qingxiao's assistance, the Enchantress gradually lost her advantage against the now significantly stronger Silly Beast, as she lacked sufficient mechanisms to replenish her strength. Under Qi Xiaomian's guidance, the Silly Beast seized an opportunity and found the Enchantress's weakness. In just a few punches, it drained half of her power, followed by a series of overwhelming strikes.
Even in her final moments, the Enchantress gritted her teeth and did not plead for mercy. Instead, she called out several times for My Lord and Huo Qi, with her calls for Huo Qi noticeably more frequent than for My Lord—especially in those last few cries accompanied by tears at the corners of her eyes.
It was hard to discern what caused her tears to flow, but that didn't matter now. After the Enchantress's death, the Silly Beast let out a heart-wrenching wail that shook the heavens and earth. No one tried to stop it; they merely scattered to observe what unfolded underground.
Fortunately, Sang Qingxiao acted in time to protect the underground space, ensuring that resources and facilities remained unaffected by the battle.
Just as Qi Xiaomian picked up the Enchantress's research notes on potions, a vine suddenly shot out from beneath him and snatched them away.
Upon realizing who it was, Qi Xiaomian withdrew his Inner Strength.
What? You still want to attack me?
Having grown accustomed to watching Sang Qingxiao and Old Vine bicker back and forth with their peculiar banter, Qi Xiaomian found it amusing and decided to join in. "Aren't you supposed to be hiding outside? How did you end up coming in here?"
I was startled. That machine surged towards us with a loud clamor, but fortunately, I have a long life, so the little damage it caused didn't matter much.
"Why don't you hide further away?"
I was worried that her range of control would only expand. After thinking it over, I felt it was safer to stay close to Xiaoxiao. Besides, I had hidden myself; I didn't flee to the outskirts but rather burrowed deeper underground.
Old Vine spoke these words with confidence, not feeling embarrassed at all. With such weak abilities, what was there to be ashamed of? As long as he could protect himself and not hold back those who were stronger, that was already quite an achievement.
Old Vine continued, "I heard things quieting down outside, so I came out. You can't understand this pharmaceutical notebook anyway; what does it matter if I take it? Why are you confronting me?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Qi Xiaomian replied with a smile and a mock bow. "Please do your research. I have a favor to ask; there might be a special prescription for the Empress Dowager inside. I hope you can find a way to decipher it."
"That Old Woman tricked you, and you still want to save her?"
