282 The roadblockers and the barbarians

Thank you to "WhiteWolfe" book friends for the commuter pass.

――――――――――

Catherine didn't get close to the roadblocker, and stopped a hundred meters away. The sudden obstacle also made no further movements, and he seemed to be watching Catherine.

After a few minutes, the Overseer shouted from afar, "Who are you, roadblocker?" in the Old Elven language, and her voice was not loud, but it was long, ethereal, like a light wind blowing over the mountain beams.

The roadblocker did not answer, and not even his expression changed. He stood there motionless, like a hard, heavy rock at the foot of the mountain.

"I'm ...... the roadblocker. I am an Overseer of the First Expeditionary Force, please report your identity. Catherine shouted again in the Old Elven language. She wanted to say her name, but it didn't mean much in this place.

This time, the roadblock finally moved, leaning forward slightly and arching his back. He suddenly began to stride, then accelerated his run, and charged at Catherine.

The thick legs of the roadblocker were very strong, and when he ran, he stepped on the ground with a "pop", and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the overseer who was at a loss. He swung his fist and slammed it into Catherine's face.

Catherine only took two steps back, subconsciously raising her arms in front of her. As a mage, Catherine's melee ability is close to zero, and even though she is wary of those who stand in her way, she does not expect this "elf" to suddenly attack her. And the speed of the roadblockers was so fast that the distance of just about 100 meters was completed in a matter of seconds.

The hammer-like fist landed on Catherine's arms without any cushion, and the pain was so sharp that it nearly knocked the Overseer unconscious. But then the arms lost sensation. Catherine's whole person flew backwards into the air, landing on the ground more than ten meters away, and rolled several times in succession before stopping.

The impact caused Catherine to temporarily lose her ability to breathe, and her body seemed to lose all vitality. She lay on the ground like a dead body, unresponsive. It was a full two seconds of stillness before Catherine's chest began to rise and fall again.

Such a violent, direct, and heavy melee attack had not been encountered by Catherine in a long time, and she could not even find a similar fragment to recall in her mind for a while. She struggled to open her eyes, and in front of her was the expressionless face of the roadblocker.

The roadblock looked down at him, his face stiff and pale, his eyes closed, and his two thin, blue lips slightly open. Catherine saw that there were no teeth between her lips. It's a huge eye rolling.

"He's watching me. A thought immediately popped into Catherine's mind. "His mouth is the eye? ”

The roadblock looked at Catherine for a moment, shook his head and walked away. This is the first time he has shown an emotional behavior, and it also shows that he should be intellectual.

Catherine was badly wounded, and the bones of both arms were shattered by the terrible force of those who stood in her way. She didn't have any strength in her body right now. I can only lie on the ground and gasp.

However, due to Catherine's time in the underworld, she had eaten a lot of demonic limbs. Therefore, the body has a certain ability to heal itself. I just don't know that I am in the soul world of the Silver Dragon King at this moment. It doesn't matter if your own state is affected.

The Overseer had long been aware that there was no need to eat and excrete in the spirit world, but the dragon lice in the expeditionary force that had been wounded in battle did not heal on their own, and those seriously injured would all die without exception. Lightly injured dragon lice will continue to move with the large army with the injury. And the dragon lice warriors don't seem to feel pain, and Catherine feels that she may be partially affected as well. For apart from the momentary pain she felt when she first received the blow, she still didn't feel anything in her arm.

This is clearly not normal. Based on her years of combat experience, Catherine is well aware that it is true that a temporary loss of sensation from a heavy blow to a part of her body does occur, but it is generally not affected all over her body. For example, right now, although her arms don't feel normal, her whole body is blown out and rolled on the ground, and her body will be more or less injured. These minor injuries should not be pain-free.

Unless...... Catherine thought of a possibility, it would be miserable if it were to do so. She hurriedly tried to lift her foot, but luckily the Overseer saw her toe dangling in the corner of her eyeβ€”it looked like her spine wasn't broken.

The roadblock was gone, and Catherine bounced her head to search for it. Did he smash himself to the ground just to observe?

Catherine remembered the emotional shaking of the head of the roadblocker. That's disappointment, what was he expecting?

The Overseer lay on the ridge of the hill, the light of the void shimmering, like the night sky, but not as many stars as the night sky. The silence of the surroundings makes this void world full of strange beauty. Catherine's thoughts blurred, and she felt herself merging into that little light, becoming an integral part of the night sky above her head.

She floated up, as if weightless, and slowly rose from the mountain beam, flying little by little into the depths of the void.

"Damn!" a shout rang out in her ears, and Catherine's body sank suddenly. She awoke from her thoughtless state, and was amazed to see a barbarian half-crouching on her chest and abdomenβ€”a barbarian with a disheveled head and a beast skirt.

The savage was tall and strong, and with two thick feet he stepped on Catherine's abdomen and chest, and stood straight in the air. Catherine immediately felt everything in her stomach squirt out of her mouth, but she didn't have time to open her mouth before her back hit the hard ground.

There was no pain, but the cracking of bones all over my body could be heard clearly. Catherine sighed inwardly, lamenting that she was just one step away from being able to merge into the endless void. Such a wonderful thing was ruined by a barbarian.

She sighed, completely oblivious to the fact that she was badly injured. The Overseer smashed into the ground like a meteorite from mid-air. She had already floated to a height of several hundred meters and was kicked down by the barbarians who suddenly appeared.

A shaggy hand reached over and grabbed Catherine's robe from the top of her chest and lifted her up from the mountain beam. All of the Overseer's bones were shattered, and her body was limp and crooked. She could only squint at the barbarian who picked her up and walked forward.

The savage carried Catherine like a kitten. He walked a few steps and threw the kitten to the ground. Catherine looked up and saw the man standing in the way. The barbarian was two heads taller than the roadblocker, and twice as wide as the barbarian.

"You almost made her fly away. The barbarian's voice was like thunder, and his ears were ringing.

The roadblocker stood there as if he had not heard.

"You almost made her fly away. The barbarian roared again in a louder voice. (To be continued......)
