Chapter 20: Phantom Beasts and Maidens

Late at night, in front of the tent of Leete and his party.

"Litter, that's your mission, you have to remember. It's a small task, but it's significant. The action will begin early in the morning of the day after tomorrow. Your absence today has already made Chief Shuizhi very angry, and I hope this is the last time. "Mentor Qin Long again. Litter could only nod vigorously, so that the man who released his pigeon would leave quickly.

After sending Qin Long away, Li Teqi stomped his feet on the spot. He waited there honestly for so long today, he would not leave, and during this time Carl had an accident, and when he walked on the front foot, he immediately had a meeting on the back foot, and then he was criticized for being late, and decisively became a pawn who explored the way. At this time, Li Te, felt that he was being played by others.

"Carl, what are you doing in armor?" "Don't stop me, hurry up, she's in danger" There was movement inside the tent.

"Carl is awake?" Litt turned his anger into joy, and opened the door of the tent, only to see Carl wearing the Crocodile Scale Armor. The big collapse, the water monster, the mad bull, and the crying god were beside him and persuaded him vigorously. The more Carl talked, the more anxious he became, and even a little angry. yelled, "Stop, give me my armor!"

"Enough!" Littel's angry shout silenced everyone. "Boss, Carl just woke up and was in a hurry to get out......" Litt waved his hand to stop talking.

I saw Li Te slowly walk up to Carl, put his hands on his shoulders, and said calmly, "My brother, take a deep breath." ”

Now Carl, with only half of the mad crocodile scale armor on, standing barefoot in the tent, panting, looking tired, and his eyes bloodshot, he didn't look like a person who had just woken up after a long day's sleep. After he saw Li Te's determined eyes, he also realized his impatience, and when he finally calmed down, his clenched right hand let go of the other half of his armor.

The tent was silent, oil lamps illuminated every curious face, and everyone sat down around Carl. They were all waiting for Carl to speak, understanding that he needed time to organize the language.

Ritt asked, "Alright, Carl." Now tell me, where have you been since I left today, what happened? Don't hide it, tell me it all. ”

Carl paused his throat, frowned, and said slowly, "Hmm...... I was going to get some sleep, but I heard a cat meow......"

"Cats, don't tease us, the vigilant mentor said that there are no birds, how can there be cats...... I'm sorry, boss, I'll shut up. The water monster, which wanted to continue to interrupt, gave up after seeing Leet's dissatisfied eyes.

"I'll ask questions later. Go ahead. Leet said.

Karl said: "I'm ...... too Curious, because everyone knows that there is not even animal hair in this huge forest. So, I followed the soft meow of the cat. But the sound was really peculiar, and it appealed to me as if it pierced the heart, and before I knew it, I was out of the safe zone, unaware of it. As the voice got closer......"

In just ten minutes, everything Carl said next really made everyone present wide-eyed, although the description was not clear enough, but it was enough to hang everyone's hearts.

Karl walked a long way away, saying that he had even seen the warning sign set up by the mentor, but he did not hesitate to walk out and ignored the warning. After walking a little further, the sound was getting closer and closer, and he was sure that the source of the sound was in the grass ahead. Just as Carl was about to lift the grass to take a look, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and a hand controlling his body.

Carl realizes that it is not good and just wants to resist. I heard the man behind me say in a very orthodox human federation language: "Quiet, little ghost." There's my prey ahead, so don't scare it away. You promise you won't scream, and I'll take the dagger from your neck. Karl nodded vigorously. The chill in his neck was really gone, and when the frightened Carl turned around, he saw a ......

A girl of twelve or thirteen years old, who looks pretty good, wears a very short skirt, has very fair skin, but has a somewhat stubborn temper. No matter how the people questioned the girl's appearance, this was already the limit of Carl's appearance. This disappointed them.

Then, Carl looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and found a fat cat the size of two palms, lazily lying on a branch ten meters away, licking its fat paws. It has snow-white legs, a black and white back, squinted eyes, and a fat face that looks very cute. But one thing is not normal, at such a distance, the cat's "meow" sound every time seems to be in the ear. Carl seemed to be able to see a pair of small wings looming on the cat's back, and with each movement, a lot of fine light crystals flew out.

Carl had a feeling in his heart. This cute cat is likely to be a very powerful phantom beast. Carl was about to ask the girl in the short skirt next to him what he was looking for, but he found that she was missing. Yes, she's gone.

The next moment she appeared on the branch above the cat, and if it wasn't for Carl's careful look, she really couldn't see it, she was very well disguised. I saw the girl leap down, the sharp dagger held upside down in her left hand aimed at the cat's head, and her right hand grasped a yellowed parchment, but there were eight shining points of light on the parchment, forming a strange symbol, like an "s". The girl fell quickly, the short skirt had been blown to a stunning angle, and the parchment in her right hand was about to touch the cat's head.

This time, it's the cat's turn to disappear. When Carl thought the girl had succeeded, he found that she had pounced, and when his skirt fell again, the girl looked very nervous and surprised, and looked around for the cat's whereabouts. Carl also thought it was strange, but he heard a "meow" in his ear. The voice seemed to convey some kind of message, but a voice unexpectedly flashed in Carl's mind, "Quiet, little ghost." There's my prey ahead, don't scare her away. If you promise you won't scream, I'll let you go back and bring more people. ”

With such a familiar tone, Carl was taken aback. I turned my head a little to the left, and I saw the fat cat with black and white patterns and four-legged snow-white snow, floating in the air, licking its paws and staring at him with its mimi eyes. "Wow!" Frightened Karl pulled out the bloody phoenix dagger and stabbed the fat cat without hesitation, only to be missed.

Due to the force, Carl also fell and ate, and he fell to the ground. The "meow" cry echoed in my ears again, and a phrase flashed through my mind: "You humans are weak, but you are unexpectedly persistent. If you can't please me today, I'll kill you. He stood up, but was surprised to find that the cat had flown back in front of the girl......

Carl's last memories are vague. He teamed up with the girl to deal with the cat, and half an hour passed, and no matter how much the two of them attacked, they couldn't touch a single cat hair. Cats are very light and have strange abilities, as if they can see through their hearts. Its cry shook them tremendously every time. Later, when the cat got tired of playing, it really started, and the body changed, and the looming wings behind it suddenly appeared, and it was generous and bright......

"I can't resist that move at all, it's fast. All I could see was that the girl was in front of me in an instant, and she was badly injured, her right arm was bleeding. The aftermath of her resistance knocked me unconscious. This is the last memory I can remember, I promise!" Karl had become a little agitated and even stood up.

Li Teh asked, "What about your life-saving dagger?" and what about the blood phoenix dagger?"

Carl was startled, and quickly groped all over his body, but did not find it. However, a fragment flashed through his mind, and after shouting, he told another story.

"After I fainted, I could feel my body still moving. The whole body was also full of strength, and the first image was that the cat seemed to be injured, and I don't know exactly what happened, but the girl seemed to be looking at me in horror. Everything was so quiet that nothing could be heard. In the second image, the cat took away the Blood Phoenix Dagger and the girl, and I wanted to chase but couldn't. But the cat ended up with a sentence that 'even though I have a nasty smell on me, I have a lot of energy connections in my body and give me a day to think.' Otherwise, it would have to eat the girl to absorb the energy to compensate for the injury. 'I can't really remember anything!'" Carl kept rubbing his head, trying to remember more.

Li Teh asked, "You seem to have been in that state for a while during the combat power test, what is going on?"

Carl shook his head.

After confirming Carl's intact body, Litt asked, "You said you were injured, but you are still intact, how did you do it? What kind ?......of phantom beast is that cat? What is the energy connection?"

Carl kept shaking his head. Everyone advised Litt not to ask any more questions, after all, it was not easy for Carl to be able to answer the question, and the movement in the tent never stopped.

The full moon hung high in the night sky, and the faint moonlight shone on this silent forest, making it look cold and cold.

Inside the tent. Everyone formed a circle.

"It's been half a day, and there's not much time left for us. I don't know what kind of danger awaits us, and I'm not confident that I can protect you, and that someone might get hurt or even die. Staying at camp is the best option, and I fully support it, and I don't blame you. But I'm not a person who doesn't repay my kindness, and I don't know anyone who is a complete stranger. That mysterious girl was willing to give up her life to save my brother Carl's life, and now that she is in danger, she can't be left to fend for herself, at least she must save her. So I am willing to extend my hand to save people with my brother and me, because I need more strength, and I will not force ......" The words fell, and the two brothers firmly stretched out their hands.

Da Bang quickly stretched out his right hand, put it on the back of Litkal's hand, and said firmly: "Don't say anything, I'll go." ”

"I'll go too. The mad bull stretched out his hand when he saw the big collapse, and he didn't hesitate to say it.

"Uh...... I...... Forget it, go!" the weeping god stretched out his hand, although he could not speak clearly.

Finally, it was the water monster's turn, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

But when he heard it, the water monster roared with a serious face: "You guys are crazy!" and walked out of the tent without looking back.
