Qin Sisi recalled what Ye You had said: since it was dangerous to touch the Water Fire Spirit Pearl directly with skin, she used the man in black cloak's eagerness for the Water Fire Spirit Pearl to lure her into doing so. Taking advantage of the injury he sustained, she launched an attack.
The man in black cloak's eyes, beneath the ghastly white mask, revealed a venomous gleam. Without hesitation, he raised both palms, summoning a magic shield in front of him to block Qin Sisi's attack.
However, Qin Sisi's attack was merely a distraction. In the next moment, the wave of fire magic energy she unleashed collided with the man in black cloak's shield, and Qin Sisi seized the opportunity to snatch the fallen Water Fire Spirit Pearl from the ground and dart deeper into the cave.
She knew full well that this man in black cloak was a Magic God, and with her current Magic Spirit-level strength, she was no match for him in direct combat.
