Chapter Forty-Eight: Re-enlistment
Suddenly, an afterimage whizzed over my head, and the tenacious claws left a few bloody marks on my face.
Ignoring the burning pain on my face, I gasped for breath and looked up at the thing above, as if it didn't seem to intend to let me go.
The black shadow waved its wings in the air, its reddish eyes revealing terrifying killing intent.
I looked down at my left arm, which was bleeding, and I couldn't feel the presence of my left arm except for the intense pain.
"This time, I'm afraid I'm really going to die here!"
Before I could prepare, the black shadow let out a long roar and flew again.
Lightning-fast speed, I didn't have time to react, so I had to swing my sword and stab at the black shadow.
"Bang~"
The black shadow's claws gripped the blade tightly, dragging me straight into the air. Then he swooped down and threw my body against the raised rocks on the ground.
With a "boom", I couldn't dodge, and I hit the stone hard, and my heavy body fell to the ground along with the broken stone.
The black shadow hovered above me with its wings, hissing as if searching for me.
I lay quietly in the scattered rocks, my eyes closed. I only felt that the ribs all over my body were broken, and the sharp pain of the wound kept pouring into my brain.
"I can't just die, Arna, it's still waiting for me"
I snapped my eyes open, gripped the crimson sword, pushed away the rubble that was pressing down on me, and stood up with trembling legs, my eyes staring straight at the monster above.
"Come on!"
With a roar, I leapt to my feet on the rocks around me, swinging my sword with all my strength and slashing at the thing.
The thing didn't dodge, with a long roar, it flapped its wings and flew high, then turned its head and tightened its wings like a black sword at me.
"Bell~"
The crimson sword body collided with the thing's body, and the massive impact pushed me directly to the ground.
I hurriedly flipped my back, and hurriedly plunged my sword into the ground to stabilize my trembling body.
I gasped for breath, looking at the scratches left by the sword in front of me on the ground, and I knew that I couldn't fight it anymore.
"Twitter~"
The hellish ghost-like roar sounded again, and by the time I could react, the claws had pierced my clothes, and with a "thud", it tore off a piece of blood-red flesh again.
I looked down at my left shoulder, and I could see that the white bones of the Sensen, and the red blood gushed out, staining the whole garment red along the neck.
As the blood continued to gush out, the sharp pain continued to pour into my brain, I gasped hard, only to feel that my eyes were dizzy, the surroundings became very silent, and the surroundings gradually dimmed, and the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger.
"Arna!"
I kept my last sobriety, looking around, there was no place to hide. The only cave in the cliff where I could hide, in my current state, was powerless to go back to.
"Water... Pool! ”
Listening to the sound of "ticking and ticking", I suddenly felt joy in my heart, as if I saw the hope of life.
Suddenly, a violent air current suddenly came from behind me, and before I could turn around, the figure of the thing had already rushed in front of me.
I hurriedly rolled sideways and swung my sword to meet it, but the thing flew into the air, but did not stop, and hurriedly waved its wings and flew into the air.
Just as I leaped towards the pool, I saw the figure of the thing fly in front of me, and then its whistling wings stayed above the pool.
I saw that its reddened eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and its mouth hissed "chirping", as if it was aware of my intentions.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I firmly believed in my inner thoughts even more. Since this pool can heal the wounds of that thing, it can naturally heal the wounds on my body.
"The more you stop me, the more I want to go in"
I clenched the crimson sword and poured all the strength of my body into my right arm, and then with a "whoosh", as the crimson sword flashed, a sharp sword qi suddenly rushed towards the thing.
The thing didn't panic, there was a hiss, and the strong air flow collided with the sword qi violently, and with a "boom", it burst in the air, and the hunting wind quickly swept away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I hurriedly rolled over, "poofed", and jumped into the pool.
Instantly, I only felt a cold feeling all around me, like countless small fish constantly gnawing on the flesh of my wound, but there was no pain at all.
Then my whole body continued to sink in the water, and the black shadow hovering above me in my eyes became farther and farther away from me.
I slowly closed my eyes, and there was silence in my ears, and the pain in my whole body was slowly dissipating.
At this time, I was like floating in the clouds, surrounded by water, like the wind whistling by, mixed with a faint fragrance, warm and comfortable.
Suddenly, the surroundings became hot, like boiling water.
I snapped my eyes open and swam desperately upward, the whole pool filled with the disgusting smell of rotting flesh.
"Wow~"
I leapt out of the pool and gasped for air as I tumbled to the ground.
I looked down at my left arm and shoulder, which had healed, and all my strength had recovered.
"Twitter~twitter~"
The thing seemed to have waited for me for a long time, and after a hiss, it swooped down on me.
At this time, I felt as if I had been reborn, and I no longer had the slightest fear in my heart, and then I held my left palm on the ground, turned over, and slashed the head of the thing with the red sword in my hand.
Seeing this, the thing hurriedly flailed its wings, flipped its body, dodged the crimson sword, and quickly passed me.
I landed lightly, staring directly at the black shadow in mid-air, without a hard fur body, it was no match for me at all.
The thing seemed to sense the murderous aura emanating from me, and did not entangle with me too much, let out a long roar, waved its wings, and flew quickly towards the darkness of the cave.
It wasn't until the thing safely disappeared into the darkness that I breathed a sigh of relief and turned and walked towards the pool.
I looked down and saw that the water was still pale blue, and the red blood stains had completely dissipated.
"Since this water can heal wounds, then maybe it can also solve the poison of the Konoha King Snake, but..."
Thinking of this, I hesitated, because I didn't know where the water came from or what it contained, and if I took it rashly, it was easy to have unforeseen problems.
"I can only go to the Mirage Cave and get Qingzhi!"
I looked around and was sure that there was no sign of any vegetation growth, and was about to leap towards the entrance of the cave when suddenly there was a hissing sound again.
I hurriedly followed the sound, only to see a myriad of red eyes suddenly light up in the darkness.
Seeing this, I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and it suddenly dawned on me.
"That one just now didn't run away, but went to call for the kind of people to gather!"
