Inside the Temple of the Lion of the South, in Windwail Highland.
On their way to the magical conduit Stormterror had left behind to draw on the temple's remaining power, Li Qiuzhi cleared out many monsters, such as Slimes and Hilichurls, all by himself.
In total, he earned over two thousand two hundred Experience Points, along with a pile of materials that would sell for quite a bit of Mora.
Given Lisa's style, she was naturally delighted to be able to complete the mission at her leisure.
Just as Li Qiuzhi raised his Dull Blade to shatter the magical conduit that resembled green amber, two Abyss Mages, one Pyro and one Hydro, suddenly blocked his path.
Waving their staffs, they opened with water projectiles and a wave of flames, giving Li Qiuzhi no chance to react.
"Heh heh, foolish humans! The reason I didn't act while you were making your way here was that I was waiting for you to let your guard down, just like this!"
The red, furry Pyro Abyss Mage spoke with a smug laugh.
Red and blue intertwined in the reflection in Li Qiuzhi's eyes. He swiftly leaned back and twisted aside to dodge, but the Pyro Abyss Mage predicted where he would move and followed up with a burst of fierce flames from the ground.
"I noticed you ages ago~" A hint of amusement showed in Lisa's emerald eyes as she spoke, looking at Li Qiuzhi, who was about to be injured.
She gently raised her black-gloved hand, loosely curling her fingers as a pale-purple, translucent sphere condensed in her palm.
Then, like an expanding universe, it instantly grew to envelop both her and Li Qiuzhi. The Abyss Mages' elemental attacks struck it with a crackle of electricity and were effortlessly repelled.
Electrostatic Field!
