54 The Strange Catherine
"Isn't it a dragon?" Ace glanced at the dragon in front of him suspiciously, he had never heard of any Linde worms.
But for now, Ace doesn't doubt the goblin scholar's words. Although this old professor likes to be surprised, his insight is indeed first-rate.
Whether it's a worm or a dragon, since you're a vegetarian, there's no need to be afraid. Ace picked up Catherine and walked over to the big rock and sat down.
The Lind worm still didn't move, but just turned its head around. Ace sat on the big rock, and suddenly realized why this "dragon" was called an adult.
Because behind the dragon's head of the Linde worm is a slender body like a worm. The body was covered in tiny black scales, occasionally flickering. The Linde worm also has two bird-like claws on its chest, the claws are as thin as iron, and they are plunged directly into the stones at the bottom of the water. Ass guessed that this was the basis for its ability to crawl rapidly in that crevice.
"The Linde worm is said to be a plague worm, and plague occurs wherever it goes. The old professor recounted, "I have only seen the patterns handed down from ancient times, and the one in front of me is about five or six points like the one in the picture. Whether it is a real Linde worm or not remains to be verified. ”
"Plague?" Ace nervously looked at Catherine in his arms, who had just been in Lindworm's mouth. Unexpectedly, Catherine, who had been sleeping, actually opened her eyes at this time.
"Wake up, Catherine, you're finally awake. Ace exclaimed excitedly.
But Catherine's expression was indifferent, and she looked at Ace as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Help me sit up. Catherine's tone sounded as stiff as a command.
"You're still weak, lie down a little longer. Ace didn't think much of it.
Catherine raised an eyebrow, "I said help me up." Her tone was extremely unfriendly.
Ace looked at the female mage a little strangely, but complied with her wishes.
Catherine sat up straight, but most of her body had to lean against As's body. She looked around, her eyes lingering on the Linde worm for a few seconds, then turned back to the goblin and said, "Professor, do you know where we are?"
"I'm not familiar with the underworld. The goblin didn't raise his head, he just kept writing, "Lind Worm is a native of here, you can ask it." It should be intellectual. By the way, I need to verify the first-hand information about the Linde worm. Does this creature have dragon blood?"
Catherine didn't answer the goblin at all, and she returned her gaze to the Lindworm. The giant worm was staring at her intently. The two sides looked at each other for about ten seconds, and Catherine spat blood out of her mouth with "wow".
"Are you alright?" Ass asked anxiously, "I said you were still weak, lie down." There's not even a fire in this damn place. ”
Catherine pushed As's hand away, still insisting on sitting up straight. "This body is too weak. She muttered to herself.
After a long time of no movement, the Linde worm suddenly "whined" and whispered twice, as if laughing. It shook its head and crawled towards the three Catherines.
Ace immediately forcibly picked up Catherine and jumped behind the big rock. Although this level of hiding does not have much substantive significance.
Linde worm "laughed" twice in a low voice. Something was thrown over its head and fell on the boulder with a "snap".
"Golden Shaman!" Ace recognized the bastard who had caused them to fall into the crack. At this time, the dwarf shaman was already half-dead, and his whole body had no other reaction except for his eyes rolling around.
"Well, there's such a thing. Catherine nodded in surprise, "You're interesting." ”
The second half of this sentence is obviously said to Lindeworm.
Lindworm retreated, resting her head in the water and closing her eyes.
"Stop holding me, go back to the rock. Catherine instructed As, "Since there is this golden shaman, eat it while it is fresh." ”
Ace's eyelids jumped, and he looked down at Catherine and sat back on the stone with her in his arms.
"Tear off all its hands and feet, and give one leg to the Linde worm. Give me the rest, and the body you eat. Catherine's words were bloody and cautious.
The golden shaman seemed to understand the words of the female mage, and yellow liquid flowed from his eyes. He rolled his little eyes to look at As, his eyes full of pleading.
"You're not going to eat it raw, are you?" Ace swallowed hard, "This thing doesn't taste good, I've tasted it." ”
"Stop talking nonsense. Catherine snorted, "If I had the strength, I'd do it myself." Dwarves taste better when eaten alive, so hurry up and do it. After a while he died, it didn't taste good, and it wasn't nourishing enough. ”
Catherine's words were unmistakably cold. Ace felt that Catherine woke up, giving him a strange feeling that he had never felt before.
"You don't want me to die here, so hurry. As if to save her strength, Catherine lowered her voice and continued to urge, but her tone remained stern.
"Yes. Catherine must live. Ace thought firmly, and he finally grabbed the golden shaman.
The dwarf man burst into tears, and his body was wet with yellow liquid, dripping onto the stones.
Ace turned his face away, grabbed the golden shaman's hands and feet, and pulled them hard. One of the poor dwarves' hands was torn off. The golden shaman's belly mouth moved, but it didn't make any sound.
Now that he has made a move, Ace no longer hesitates. He grabbed Shaman's feet and tore them off. When he broke off the last hand of the dwarf, the golden shaman let out a "whoosh" and his eyes would not move.
Catherine nibbled on the golden shaman's first hand early on the side. She also occasionally sucked the golden blood that flowed from her severed arm. Ace looked creepy. Compared to when she ate dwarfs, the female mage seemed to be skilled and enjoyable, and seemed to be used to eating live food.
"Eat it quickly and while it's fresh. Catherine glared at As, "You're too weak, to be my bodyguard, you'll have to be a hundred times stronger." ”
Catherine had only taken a few bites, and seemed to have recovered a lot of strength and spirit, and her speech was sonorous.
"This golden shaman of the Dwarves is rare, and even fewer have evolved eyes. To be precise, it should have evolved into the lowest level of demons. Catherine urged, "Eat quickly, do you know how demons increase their strength, that is, eat other demons." The easiest way for the Underworld to become stronger is to eat, eat your opponent, eat his power. ”
Ace now sees Catherine in a completely new light. This person's voice and appearance have not changed in the slightest, but the feeling has completely changed. Ace knew something must have happened to Catherine, but he didn't know what to do.
Ace looked helplessly at the goblins beside him. The old professor seemed to sense his gaze, raised his head, and said, "Eat quickly." I'd love to see what happens to you after you eat a low-level demon. It turns out that demons use this way to increase their strength, and this must definitely be written down. ”
