Chapter 45: The Shadow of Death

Cold, very cold.

Awakening from a coma, apart from a strong headache, the clearest feeling of a short-haired girl is cold.

She reached out and covered her forehead, a very tangible touch reminding her that she was still alive, and that was probably the only thing to be thankful for at the moment.

Think about it, my "Super Electromagnetic Cannon Mikot" is also a famous name in the magic city, and I am definitely one of the top three masters among the younger generation, but because of such a small task, it is really tragic to fall into this field!

Now that I think about it, the old witch must have expected this scene a long time ago! When she arranged the task for herself, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was definitely mocking, knowing that I was going to suffer a big loss!

Bastard, bastard, you know I'm going to be unlucky, don't warn me, and gloat, what kind of commander are you!

Old witch, you wait for me, wait for me to return to the magic city, and I have to hang you upside down and secretly blaspheme photos everywhere, so that everyone knows that you are an old pervert with an old heart!

Silently in her heart for a while, imagining her wonderful face after the photo of the old witch was spread wildly, Mikot felt a little happy, and after secretly enjoying it for a while, she shrunk her neck again, thinking with some concern:

Belch...... If you do something so excessive, the old witch will definitely go berserk, and it is very likely that she will clean herself up fiercely, and that guy will be angry and still quite terrifying...... Forget it, forget it, I'm a good girl with a good character, and I won't do anything about spreading other people's private photos, after all, the impact on others is too bad, I really think so, definitely not because I'm afraid of the old witch!

After persuading himself, Mikot finally felt some strength regained in his body, opened his eyelids with great difficulty, and began to look at his surroundings.

In fact, there is nothing to look at, the dense forest is still the same dense forest, she is still in the same place where she "crashed" before, but now the place where she lies is not grass, but a small pond.

It turns out that I am now soaked in water, and my whole body is soaked, no wonder it is so cold, the cold air seems to have invaded the bone marrow!

Mikot shuddered, turned his head slowly from side to side, almost choked on his saliva, and was too frightened to move. She already basically understood what had just happened: her electromagnetic power suddenly failed, but her speed did not decrease, she hit the trunk of a tree and was bounced away, and then fell into a small pond, and under the action of huge inertia, she rolled to the shallow water at the edge of the pond, and lay down without moving.

What a blessing!

Mikot couldn't help but sigh with emotion: if he didn't fall into the pond after hitting the tree, but smashed it on the ground, with his physical strength, he was very likely to die on the spot, at least he would have broken tendons and fractures, and his internal organs would be displaced; if he wasn't at a good angle, he would probably be soaked in water and drowned directly in a coma; if he was not lying on his back, but lying on his stomach, he would still be drowned, even if he was in shallow water!

How so...... It's unfortunate that the power of electromagnetism suddenly fails, but I'm lucky to not die in that situation! This must be the great goddess of magic, Lady Mystery, Lord Soya, who is blessing me, and it seems that I am indeed her favorite cub!

Ah, yes!

Thinking of this, Mikot hurriedly entered a state of meditation, wanting to check what was going on, but she was surprised to find that meditation was completely ineffective, not to mention the power of electromagnetism, she didn't even have much spiritual power left, as if there was something inexplicable, suppressing all the virtual bodies around her!

Although I knew before I came here, this jungle is weird, but this is too weird!

Mikot complained in his heart, and then calmed down: those reasons or something will be talked about later, the most important thing now is that she has lost her mental power and electromagnetic power, and she is just a young girl with a better body than ordinary people, not to mention what tasks she has to complete, whether she can survive in this "Silent Forest" is a question!

It's over, it's all over. When I went to school in the magic city, I wasn't a person who loved to learn, and when I usually went to the bookstore to read books, I mainly read comics and fashion magazines, and I never read any books on wilderness survival, and I didn't have any relevant knowledge reserves!

What, I originally thought that with my strength at the peak of the fifth level and the ability to temporarily break through to the sixth level, I could walk sideways in this lonely forest where even the third-level demonic beasts are scarce, how did I know that I would encounter such a thing? It is definitely not my fault that I did not make relevant preparations in advance, it is this world full of malice that is wrong!

This reason is very clumsy, and Mikot herself does not believe it, but she still amuses herself to excuse herself, because she knows deeply how important it is to have an optimistic attitude in the face of difficulties. As for analyzing the mistakes and summarizing the reasons, let's wait until you survive first!

With all her strength, Mikot finally sat up from the water, and holding her drowsy head, struggled forward, trying to leave the pond and lie down on the dry shore of the shore. Before the coma, the sky was already dark, and at this time it was even darker, the temperature brought by the sun dissipated during the day, a cold wind blew, the cold air was biting, and the cold moonlight shone on the body, adding a bit of chill.

It took Mikot a full ten minutes to complete such a simple action, curled up on the grass on the shore, his wet clothes clinging to his body, sticky and uncomfortable. I really regret it, why did I wear short clothes and short skirts? Now I have lost the thermal insulation function of the electromagnetic barrier, I am dumbfounded, right?

Fire......

If only a fire could be lit now, so that you can get warm and dry your clothes by the way.

Doesn't that seem to be possible? Let me think about it, the method seems to be drilling...... Drill wood for fire?!

Mikot was happy all of a sudden, this seems to be very simple! It seems that without any magic power, an ordinary person can find two sticks and rub them back and forth to make a fire! When his strength is restored after a while, let's give it a try!

No, you can't wait like that, if you continue to lie on the ground, your body temperature will lose too quickly, and you will be completely sick after a while!

With this thought, Mikot slowly got up from the ground, staggered towards the small tree next to him, and wanted to break off a few branches, but unexpectedly, as soon as his hand stretched out, before he could touch the branches, a black shadow fell from the sky and slammed down in front of her!

Mikot was startled, and took a few steps back, and finally stabilized his body, and when he looked closely, he found that what had fallen to the ground was a cat with a blue face and a dead eye! The cat's eyes were facing her, and there was a little nostalgia for life in them, but more of it was the joy of "I am finally dead", which fully reflected how terrible the pain it suffered before it was born, so that death was a relief for it! (Note (1))

What's even more terrifying is that the dead branch that Mikot almost touched before suddenly moved on its own, twisted it a few times, and then a triangular snake head drooped down from above, staring at her coldly, hissing and spitting letters!

Fortunately, it was attacking the cat just now, and its mouth was not free, otherwise it would have been me!

Rejoicing in his good fortune again, Mikot stared at the poisonous snake without blinking, for fear that the other party would have something to think of him. Probably because of the difference in size, the poisonous snake felt that it was not cost-effective to attack this "big monkey", and after a minute of confrontation, the poisonous snake took the lead in relaxing his stance, swam along the trunk to the ground, and began to perform in front of Mikot, performing to swallow the cat alive!

The cat's tail and cat's hind legs were twisted and deformed by the muscles of the poisonous snake, accompanied by the clattering sound of cracking, the whole cat was little by little submerged into the bottomless mouth of the poisonous snake, and the cat's head left outside the snake's mouth twitched again and again, staring at Mikot with big eyes godlessly, and silently told her what a terrible world the wilderness and jungle were!

The thick bloody aura spread, boiling in the otherwise calm forest, and the night owl's chatter sounded, like a terrible ghost trying to ask for his life, and a few faint wolf howls were heard in the distance, and a few pairs of fierce eyes lit up between the shadows beside the trees nearby, looking greedily in this direction.

This primitive, cruel, and bloody picture suddenly made Mikot's face turn blue, and in the face of those slowly approaching black shadows, she retreated step by step, and her heart sank little by little:

How so, how can it be?

I thought I would die, but I never thought that one day I would be eaten and die so miserably.

Anyone? Whoever it is,

Please, save me......

(Note (1): Feline eyelids are actually very short, and unlike humans, they need to force to close their eyes, so generally dead cats and anesthetized cats are half-open. )
