Volume 2 Chapter 53 Cat Again
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Zong pulled Anna and ran towards the outside of the cave, and the lizard chased after him, with the implication that he would never give up until they were eaten.
The two of them panicked and rushed forward desperately. But their speed was not as fast as that of the lizards, and they chased after them in less than a moment, seeing that there was no way to escape, but the lizard group stopped chasing and waited for their eyes to linger. The two took advantage of this opportunity to get out of danger.
Is it strange that they have given up?
No, my gut tells Anna that it's not as simple as giving up. Anna has elven blood, and her sense of nature is much stronger than that of others, and the lizard's movements seem to be afraid of something. Could there be anything more terrifying in this grove than a swarm of lizards?
It stands to reason that Xue Zong's perception should be above Anna, it was Xue Zong who was aware of the existence of the assassin before, and if he encountered danger, Xue Zong would definitely react earlier, but Anna saw that Xue Zong had an expression of the rest of her life at the moment, and she didn't see any tension at all.
Anna sometimes even feels that there are two completely different personalities in Xue Zong's body, one is the king, and the other is a waste wood. Of course, it could also be her delusion.
The two of them had unconsciously arrived in an open area at this time, although Anna had heard of the name of the Ghost Forest before, but she had not really entered it, and she couldn't tell where it was for a while.
Black clouds covered the sky, and at some point there was fog all around, and visibility was very low, so it was difficult to discern the direction clearly, and the depths of the woods, which had been windless, were now blowing in the face for some reason, and there was a smell of blood in it.
As the saying goes, there is rain in the dragon and wind in the tiger, and the visit of the two uninvited guests has obviously attracted the attention of some existence.
The vicious wind was accompanied by a low roar from an unknown animal, as if to say that the two would pay with their lives for violating the territory.
Then two ghostly fires flickered in the trees in the distance, and the flames seemed to be terrifying.
Xue Zong whispered to Anna: "Hey, I said elf, aren't you a magician, quickly use magic to defeat magic, that thing is too scary." “
Xue Zong obviously had a deep misunderstanding of the magician, but Anna had no intention of complaining about what Xue Zong said at the moment, and the top priority was to come up with a countermeasure.
The two ghostly fires in the distance flickered and dimmed, but they were approaching the two little by little.
No matter what it was, you have to see the whole picture clearly before you can think of countermeasures, Xue Zong and Anna lit the torches and threw them in the direction of the ghost fire almost at the same moment, but not only why, but the two torches were extinguished in the air at the same time, and then the two ghost fires were still approaching the two unhurriedly.
This time Xue Zong is really hairy, this time is different from the past, although he has experienced many dangers in the past, but they are all-for-tat that can be seen and touched, but this time it is from a fear of the unknown.
"The situation is not good, let's withdraw first. Xue Zong whispered to Anna to discuss.
Anna shook her head, "No, it's very dangerous to blindly run away when you don't know what the opponent has, so you can only face the difficulties and take the initiative at this time." “
Then Anna briefly explained the battle plan to Xue Zong.
After discussion, the two of them attacked the ghost fire from the left and right directions. I saw Xue Zong wielding the treasure sword, rushing towards the direction of the ghost fire in the mist, this move obviously attracted the attention of the ghost fire.
The closer he got to the ghost fire, the more Xue Zong felt a piercing coldness, Xue Zong felt as if his soul was being stripped out of his body little by little, and he shouted, "It's not good!" But it was too late, he had already been hit by the evil magic of the ghost fire and couldn't move, just at the last moment, he saw Xue Zong's frightened face suddenly smiled slightly, "Fooled!" As he spoke, he disappeared into the night and turned into a straw man.
At the same time, Anna, who was approaching the ghost fire from the other direction, heard the sound of using magic [Primary Magic - Dissipation], and with the shout, a burst of madness blew around Anna, dispersing the black mist around her, and finally revealing the original appearance of the ghost fire.
The ghost fire in the black mist turned out to be the eyes of some kind of huge creature, which was a sacred beast guarding here, named Maoyou.
Since ancient times, all feng shui treasures must be guarded by spirit animals, so as not to disturb the purity of idle people. Although this mythical beast is destined to be a cat, its body is similar to that of a unicorn, but its whole body is full of silver-white hair, and its head resembles a feline, hence its name.
The cat was obviously very dissatisfied with the arrival of the two, and was staring at them fiercely at the moment.
Legend has it that the cat has a unique ability, and all enemies who look at it will be spiritualized by it, and Anna whispered to remind Xue Zong not to look directly into its eyes.
It is very dangerous to not be able to keep an eye on the opponent on the battlefield, and the two of them are at a disadvantage all of a sudden.
"Anna, let's go back to back, don't leave a dead end. “
"Hmm. “
At this moment, the cat was waiting for an opportunity around the two of them, and it found an opportunity to pounce on their sides.
"[Primary Magic-Dispel]!"
With Anna's magic, the cat can't get close easily, but with its agile skills, it is impossible for the two to escape, although they are at a disadvantage, they have to hold each other here.
All kinds of conditions are unfavorable to Xue Zong and the others, but there is one advantage of the two, that is, it is delayed until dawn.
Although the cat is powerful, it is only active at night, and it ingests the souls of others under the cover of night, and during the day it is just a slightly larger white cat.
But it was still early in the morning, and the magic used by Anna was extremely draining on the body, and after a while, cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became short.
Since the two were back to back, Xue Zong obviously felt that Anna was exhausted, but in this case, he couldn't help at all, seeing that he couldn't protect his companion once, Xue Zong secretly gritted his teeth.
After a few moments, Anna finally couldn't hold on anymore, and the continuous use of magic was still too reluctant for a junior mage, and just as she wanted to use magic again, she suddenly felt the world spin around and fall to the ground.
"Anna!"
Seeing that the time had come, the cat pounced on Anna suddenly, but he didn't expect Xue Zongfei to kick on the cat's head.
"Xue Zong, you can't look at its eyes!"
"I know, don't worry, it's here, it doesn't want to hurt us both tonight. ”
Anna originally thought that Xue Zong was talking big, and she couldn't see how the opponent could fight against her, it was like sending her to death, but after a few rounds, Xue Zong was able to accurately grasp Maoyou's actions and react in time, impossible, how could he do it.
Although Anna had also heard that there were some out-of-world masters in Middle-earth who had reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and could perceive everything without relying on their eyes, Xue Zong was obviously not that kind of out-of-world master, so how did he do it?
Xue Zong is indeed not a so-called master of the world, he just thought that although he can't look at the other party's eyes, it doesn't mean that he can't look at other parts of it, as long as he pays attention not to let his eyes and the cat look at each other again. Although this is also difficult, Xue Zong doesn't know why, he can just feel where the cat will attack again.
Left and right, Xue Zong danced the treasure knife to protect his body from top to bottom, and the form slowly reversed, Xue Zong could also wait for the opportunity to make a knife while defending, and his agility was not below the cat.
Anna looked at Xue Zong, even more puzzled, who is this young man sacred?
The situation has reached a critical moment, and Xue Zong and Mao both feel that the next round will decide the winner and decide who lives and who dies.
What direction will this big cat attack from which direction, Xue Zong was engrossed and didn't dare to slack off, but after waiting for a while, he didn't feel the slightest sign of the other party's attack, could it be that the big cat was scared, I am really a genius.
When I was proud, I was very uneasy in my heart, and I always felt that I had missed a critical step, what was it?
"Not good!" Xue Zong shouted, turned to Anna and shouted, "Anna, be careful......"
