Chapter 5: The Wolves Are Coming
It's midnight. Linya found herself still in Susanna's arms, but she had changed her position, and she was being picked up by her waist, and Susanna's heavy gasps were in her ears, and with the sound of breathing, she was walking forward slowly and with difficulty, step by step.
"Sister Susanna, let me down, what are you doing, stop and rest for a while!" Linya immediately understood what was going on, and quickly shouted.
"It's all right, Your Highness the Princess. Sleep a little longer, and I'll be able to walk a little longer. The oasis is not far away, and we must get out of the desert as soon as possible. By daybreak we should be there. Suzanne gasped.
But how could Linya still be able to sleep in such a situation? She insisted on breaking free from Susanna's embrace, took Susanna's hand and said, "I can walk too! It's Sister Suzanne, you're going to be tired if you go on like this!"
That being said, when I really walked, the soreness in my legs that lacked exercise had not yet recovered, and now it immediately became in pain, and Linya could only grit her teeth and persist tenaciously.
Suzanne also looked really tired, her hands were warm, and sweat seemed to be oozing from her forehead, but her steps were no longer as steady and powerful as during the day, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and on two occasions she almost fell. Linya was really distressed to see it. She didn't sleep well last night, and she hasn't rested today, and she drinks very little water, so even an iron-beaten person can't stand it if she goes on like this!
"Sister Susanna, your hands are so warm!" the two held hands and moved forward step by step, but Linya felt that her hands were so cold, but her hands were so warm, and the warm current could even be transmitted from her hands to the bottom of her heart.
"Hmmm......"
"Sister Suzanne, you better stop and rest!"
"It's okay...... I, I can hold on a little longer......" Suzanne said in fits and starts, and then suddenly fell to the ground without warning, without a sound. Linya was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to turn her over, and called out anxiously, "Susanna, Susanna, what's wrong with you?" but Susanna didn't answer, she was already unconscious.
Linya was immediately panicked and didn't know what to do. I touched her forehead, only to realize that it was very hot. Could it be that she's sick? This level of heat is obviously extremely abnormal, unless it is a cold and a high fever. Oh my God, she's sick yet, but she still has to hide that she's desperately rushing?
Inadvertently, Linya found two more scars on Suzanne's left wrist, which were obviously new injuries based on the degree of healing of the wounds. When did the little phoenix Erinka jump out, chirping and waving her wings in a knife-like manner, Linya touched her lips and immediately understood.
Shocked, moved, sad, and all kinds of emotions welled up in my heart together, and tears suddenly poured out. "Sister Susanna, why are you doing this? Are you dying?" Linya threw herself on Susanna's chest and couldn't help but cry out loud.
After crying for a while, Linya's thoughts gradually calmed down, and she thought of something more important, and quickly wiped away her tears. Now it's time to wake up Suzanne quickly! Linya subconsciously went to find the seeds of the water of life, but she soon found that she couldn't open the space crystal, and she couldn't take out the water of life stored in the space warehouse.
It's terrible!Linya panicked again, but it's okay, there's magic! Yes, yes, yes, with magic! Nature's regeneration, water's healing, and water's summoning, she must be dehydrated now, and she needs to replenish her water quickly.
After a busy time, Linya's mind was a little drowsy again. Using magic in such an extremely weak state will also cause great loss and damage to one's mental power. But now she doesn't care about anything. But what's really bad is that in this desolate desert, what is most lacking are wood and water elements!
On earth, if Xiao Yuan catches a cold, usually a bag of powder and a glass of boiling water can solve it. But here is the Noah whose science is still so primitive. Magic is not a medical skill, it is not a panacea, it cannot cure diseases. It is no joke that a high fever and a severe cold can really take a person's life, let alone in a state of physical weakness such as lack of water, hunger, and blood loss.
The more Linya thought about it, the more scared she became. She really didn't know how to live without Susanna. Usually she always silently guards her side, and it feels like she takes it for granted. But it wasn't until now that she was about to lose it, that she felt precious. She is not only her guardian knight, but also her closest friend, closest companion, and most beloved person. She didn't dare to imagine losing Susanna, she would really go crazy!
"Alandora, Erielka, water elemental elves, I need your help, please heal her wounds and ailments for me!" Suzanne's body is still hot, and her forehead is also hot, but she seems to be a little better than just now?
Now that she stopped and relaxed, her legs hurt more and more, especially in her calves and ankles, which were about to break, Linya had tears in her eyes, and her silver teeth bit her lip tightly, trying not to let herself cry. She really wanted to cry, far away from her hometown, away from her parents, family and friends, alone in such a desolate place, her only dearest and beloved partner could die at any time, she really had a reason to cry. But she didn't want that, she had an adult soul, she had grown up past her sixteenth birthday, and she couldn't be a child who didn't know anything about the world.
Damn rotten god, I admit defeat, I really surrender, just please, help my sister Susanna, as long as you don't let her die, you can do whatever you want me to do!, but she got no response. She was now helpless to stay by Susanna's side, praying for any divine blessings, if any.
In the haze, Linya was so tired that she fell asleep on Suzanne at some point, until a sudden howl woke her from her half-asleep state.
"Woo-woo-"
It was the howl of a wolf. With a certain terrifying aura, Linya in the dream was startled, she quickly stood up, and after looking around, she finally found a pair of green eyes on the top of the sand dunes in the north.
A pair of wolf eyes! Linya trembled, and hurriedly quietly summoned the ice crystal bow. Oh my God, it's that cannibalistic beast!" Linya's heart began to panic even more.
But soon, a second pair, a third pair, and then more green light appeared from the dunes on the horizon. It's not just a wolf, it's a pack of wolves!!
What to do?
The wolves soon gathered in a large group, at least twenty or so. "Woo-" The one who seemed to be the leader howled at the demon moon in the sky, "Whoa-woo-" The whole wolf group also cried along, and then, the first wolf jumped down and led the wolves slowly towards Linya's side.
Linya's legs went limp, and the endless fear made her feel like she wanted to run away. She was a princess, where had she ever seen such a scene, where had she ever faced a pack of blood-devouring wolves? Fear made her want to run away, and her instinct for survival told her that she should leave quickly, but another voice in her heart said to her:
You can't run away, you can't run away at this time!
Because Suzanne is right behind her. She is still unconscious, and she may be able to spread her wings and escape from this dangerous place immediately, but her beloved Suzanne is about to become dinner for those evil wolves!
Linya raised her left arm, pulled out the ice crystal bow and aimed at the leader at the front, and shot an arrow at it.
The wolf's reaction was unexpectedly swift, and it leaped lightly to the side, which could have dodged the magic attack. But what it didn't expect was that Linya's ice arrow was a tracking missile that could turn with Linya's mental power, and the ice arrow finally hit the leader's right hind leg, and after a miserable scream, the wolves stopped their pace, and their eyes that were originally full of murder and hunger began to show a look of fear.
Linya was a little relieved. How could he be afraid of a group of beasts if he was such a powerful magician, not even afraid of powerful human warriors, demons and monsters?
I am a grown man, how can I be as afraid of these beasts as those little girls, and I must not take a step back, even for Susanna's sake!
Somewhat unexpectedly, the leader was hit by his own ice arrow and did not die! The wolves gathered around, as if they were licking the wounds of the head wolf with their tongues, and after a while, the wolf actually staggered to its feet, and after a burst of "woo-woo-woo-woo......" After a while, the wolves began to approach Linya's side again, but this time, they became much more cautious, and did not rush around as frantically as before, and they also dispersed in formation, as if they wanted to surround Linya from different directions.
Linya felt even more stressed. Although she had summoned another ice arrow in her hand, she did not dare to use it casually. Wolves are also said to be extremely cunning animals, and it seems that this is true, and what they are now afraid of is the magic arrow in their hand, which obviously cannot knock them all down.
What to do?
Fear once again gripped Linya's mind.
