Chapter 169: Passerby in the Western Fantasy Adventure 18
Ever since he learned that Leno's retreat was related to the Sand Tribe, Abner has been secretly on high alert. However, as winter is approaching, the rumored brutal Sand Tribe has not made any moves. Could it be that they gave up because they could not break through the defense line? He wondered to himself.
In the beginning, Cathy often reminded herself to be alert, but when people stay in a comfortable environment for a long time, they will inevitably become lax, so she did not react for a while when she was attacked by the hybrid.
Thanks to her unremitting efforts, a circle of Haloxylon ammodendron grew around the sea buckthorn forest. The low Haloxylon ammodendron trees were interspersed with tall Populus bernardii. A small patch of Date palm trees grew to the east of the magic circle. These tree species were all commodities traded by the Feng tribe last time.
On this day, Cathy cast the elementary magic "Breath of Growth" on the newly survived saplings as usual. The wood-based spell containing the breath of vigorous life turned into a dark cloud in the sky, and then fine raindrops fell, washing away the dust that had been stained on the trees by the wind and sand.
She was thinking that winter was approaching and she didn't want any of these trees that had managed to survive to be frozen to death in the severe cold. She took out dry grass and hemp rope from her space bracelet and prepared to wrap the roots of these trees with a layer of outer clothing to protect them from the cold wind.
On weekdays, Cathy is mostly active in the magic circle. A few days ago, after she broke through the level and officially became a junior magician, the survival rate of the newly planted saplings increased a lot. The greenness of this forest in the lonely wasteland continued to spread outward, and soon a lot of poplars were planted outside the magic circle.
Although it was outside the French circle, it was not far from their cabin and was close enough that they could hear someone shouting. Besides, the calm weather in recent days had numbed Abner's vigilance.
Therefore, Cathy, who was diligently tying Hu Yang's coat, only saw something emerge from the sand, and it rushed towards her with its sharp fangs bared. Cathy was caught off guard and felt a pain in her shoulder. Then, a huge force clamped her neck and pressed her to the ground. The dry sand covered her face and head.
She cried out in pain, and the sand in her eyes stimulated her tears. The monster pulled its sharp claws out of Cathy's shoulders, and the bright red blood quickly wet her clothes through the blood holes.
Cathy's head was covered with sweat, but her arms were limp. It was difficult for her to even move, let alone hold the staff and chant spells. What was even more strange was that no matter how she shouted, the teachers seemed not to hear her.
When she was carried on the shoulders of this monster, she realized that it was a hybrid with leopard claws. His erect beastly pupils were glowing red, and he looked at her as if she were a dead object!
Cathy bit her tongue hard to keep her head clear despite the dizziness from excessive blood loss. The cold wind whistled in her ears, and her red hair fluttered in the air, even covering the face of the leopard running wildly in the desert.
Bao Tu moved the person from his right shoulder to his left shoulder expressionlessly. He caught a glimpse of her pale face and clicked his tongue impatiently. The leader said they wanted to capture her alive. Could this person survive until they got back to the tribe?
Cathy felt that the kidnapper's actions were extremely rough. The wound on her shoulder was pulled and a large area of her clothes was soaked. However, when her arms swung, the fingertips of her left hand accidentally touched the bracelet on her right wrist.
Moss's sigh!
Level 4 defensive array!
She squinted her eyes, her lips moved, and a strong white light burst out from between her wrists. Then her body was empty and she fell heavily into the sand.
Before Leopard Tu could react, he was violently bounced out by a protective circle, and half of his body was stuck in the sand pit by the powerful elastic force and he couldn't move.
Finally, he dug himself out of the sand with his hair standing on end, and circled around the white circle of light for a few times. When he found that he couldn't break it no matter how he attacked, he stared coldly with scarlet eyes at the girl in the defensive array who had a pale face but a faint smile on her lips.
Cathy half-closed her eyes and looked at the sun in the sky. Well, it was the first time that she felt the sunlight in the desolate land was so warm, making her whole body warm.
"If you keep losing blood, you'll die." Baotu's voice was like the cold and hard wind in the wilderness.
Cathy glanced at him with her green eyes half closed. After all, the system said that she could fail once, so at worst she could just change the map and try again.
It's just that this dying feeling is so cold that even the hottest sunlight can't stop the temperature from gradually disappearing from my body.
Bao Tu frowned: "We don't want to kill you. The leader just wants to exchange you for something with the president of the magic chapter."
"Oh." Cathy replied lazily.
Bao Tu was about to say something when suddenly his beast ears moved slightly. After catching the movement in the wind, his face changed. He took a last look at Cathy lying on the ground, cursed under his breath, and ran in another direction, soon disappearing behind the sand dunes.
At this moment, Abner was running fast in the sand, waving his magic wand. He had just sensed the magic power of the "Moss's Sigh" defense array being activated. When he reached the outskirts of the woods and saw the half-broken tree trunks and the blood remaining on the ground, he felt something was wrong.
Judging from the situation, Cathy was like a newborn lamb encountering a ferocious hungry wolf, unable to fight back.
He immediately waved his staff and drew a magic circle in the air to search for the person. Magic patterns to locate the wearer were engraved on Moss's Sigh. Silver light emanated from the magic circle and formed an arrow in the air pointing to the east!
Abner quickly cast a magic of acceleration on his feet and chased in the direction of the arrow.
The scattered bloodstains along the way proved that he was heading in the right direction, but also showed that Cathy was seriously injured.
He was filled with worry and suppressed his anger, just wanting to find the girl as soon as possible and double the damage she had suffered.
After crossing several small sand dunes, Abner finally found Cathy lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.
Because the bloody smell emitted by the Injury Powder attracted many monsters to surround the defense circle and drool over this tempting... oh no, it should be the dessert that tempted monsters.
If Abner and the others hadn't found her in time, once the magic of the bracelet had run out, even if Cathy didn't die from excessive blood loss, she would have been killed by the beast.
This was the first time that the bloodiness and cruelty of this world were nakedly revealed before her. Well, it might also be the last time.
Cathy smiled faintly as she watched the teacher swinging her staff around and killing everyone, driving away all the salivating monsters that surrounded her.
Then she closed the protective barrier on Moss's Sigh, and at the last moment before she lost consciousness, she fell into a warm embrace filled with coolness. The embrace was so warm that she curled up and fell asleep peacefully.
Ivis, who had hurried over, was left standing there in a daze, filled with fear and anger.
