The crisis is over.
But an eerie silence fell over the scene.
The group of hikers stared blankly at Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier, their eyes filled with confusion and... a hint of strangeness.
What were those two young ladies doing just now? Pointing their fingers at the snake?
Were you scared out of your wits?
Zhang Shaozhong was completely dumbfounded!
Holy crap!
Although the effect was extremely poor, it was still a spell, right?
Are they ice crystals and flames?!
It's not a hallucination!
Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's faces turned extremely pale and ashen in an instant!
They looked at their fingers, feeling the almost depleted strength within them from the previous attack and the lingering stinging pain from the backlash, then compared the expected results with the pitiful actual outcome...
An unprecedented, chilling sense of reality washed over them like ice water!
Their power...has it really weakened to such a ridiculous degree?!
Even dealing with a venomous snake from the mortal realm is so difficult?!
It almost triggered a backlash again by using such a small amount of power?!
The two bigwigs stood there, their bodies trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the shock of the enormous gap and the unacceptable reality.
Zhang Shaozhong was the first to react and quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Haha! That was close! The snake ran away on its own! What luck! You two...you two ladies probably wanted to scare it a little, yes, scare it a little!"
He gave a dry explanation, which even he himself found absurd.
The hikers were skeptical, but they didn't investigate further. After all, it was good that no one was hurt. Instead, they started discussing taking a detour.
Taking advantage of the fact that the hikers weren't paying attention, Zhang Shao leaned closer to the two distraught bigwigs, lowered his voice, and spoke with a hint of astonishment and sympathy:
"My God... what you just did... that was magic, right? Although... um... it was a little miniature, it's still magic! Awesome!"
Ling Qingxue snapped back to her senses, glared at him fiercely, her eyes cold and filled with shame and indignation.
This level of "magic" was an utter disgrace to her!
Night Enchantress gritted her teeth and whispered:
"Shut up! If you dare say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
But after this ordeal, the two finally came to a harsh reality.
A tiger fallen to the plains, a dragon swimming in shallow waters.
These days, they can't even protect themselves, let alone wield power.
Every bit of power must be carefully calculated and used wisely, never used lightly, especially not for internal strife.
Otherwise, they might really end up dying from exhaustion and backlash.
This feeling of being controlled by others weighed heavily on the hearts of the two powerful figures who were used to being in control.
After the initial surprise, Zhang Shaozhong felt a mix of emotions as he looked at the two big shots who had suddenly "dispirited".
It seems we can't count on this bodyguard...
I need to be more careful from now on.
