The Whispering Verses Chapter 1634: Escape
"Oh!"
Xia De, who was walking through the heavy fog in the forest, fell suddenly and could not get up again.
The black and white cat spent a lot of effort before it got out from under his body, and then saw the slender straight wound on Shade's back. There was a tear in the clothes, and there were long and thin blood marks on the skin.
Although the injury looked like a scratch with a sharp silver table knife, she knew what it meant.
Her transformation time was not over yet. She called a few times and saw that he didn't respond. Shade tried to get closer to his neck, trying to test his pulse. The woman's voice was filled with panic and sadness:
"John Watson, wake up, you must not..."
"Oh!"
Shad suddenly raised his head, startling the black and white cat, and the way he widened his eyes and took a deep breath undoubtedly proved that he was not dead yet:
"The [False Immortal] state has been activated!"
The pain in his back made Shade’s voice tremble a little when he spoke:
"It is indeed the Thirteenth Ring Road. If we were not on this island, we two would not be able to escape. Ms. Pharmacist, is it you who are unlucky or I am unlucky? The two times we landed on the island, both I encountered an accident. Last time it was a monster from an unknown dimension. This time it was the Thirteenth Ring. I can’t even imagine what it will be next time.”
He tried hard to support his body and wanted to stand up, but in the end he only moved his body weakly, allowing himself to sit up and lean against the tree nearby.
"Stop talking about this, how are you now? There is healing potion in my satchel!"
The cat transformed by the pharmacist lady asked anxiously. She could tell that Shade was almost breathing his last breath:
"You shouldn't have appeared just now. You hid it well. I have a way to escape on my own."
"Madam, with the way you look now, I'm worried that you will lose control in the next second. Could it be that the method you mentioned is to attack everyone indiscriminately after you completely lose control? You shouldn't use the power of a high-level warlock."
Xia De said in a low tone, took out the pharmacist's satchel from his pocket, and found the blood-red potion for treatment under the cat's command.
"Drink a third of it, and I'll apply the rest to your wound."
She said anxiously, feeling that Shade's vitality was getting weaker and weaker, but in fact Shade felt that his powerful self-healing ability was taking effect.
He first used healing magic to stabilize his condition, and then drank the potion according to the cat's instructions. The blood oozing from the wound on his back had stained his clothes red. In order to facilitate treatment, he simply took off his coat and shirt as the cat asked.
She was worried about Shade's condition and didn't pay attention to the badge on his chest. The cat held the small bottle in its mouth and stepped on Shade's shoulder, then tilted the bottle to let the blood-red medicine slide along the skin of his back toward the wound. The temperature on the man's body made her a little uncomfortable, but Shade's risk-taking action to save her just now made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The slowly flowing liquid made Shade feel that his wound was itching. And when the cat finished pouring out the potions, he dropped the test tube and said worriedly:
"This is a wound left by the space power of the thirteen-ring warlock. The tearing of space will always maintain the wound. I'm afraid it won't be cured that easily. We are going back to the city now. You come back with me, no matter what I will cure you."
"No need to bother."
Xia De shook his head and put his hand on his chest:
"Space is torn apart, right? Space stabilizing halo."
This time, the thaumaturgy was directly used on himself, and the power of the cracking space that penetrated deep into his internal organs was expelled in an instant. This is not to say that the thaumaturgy of the "Mirror Hidden Man" is not powerful, but that Sha De has a high resistance to space power, and this is only a residual power after all.
After doing this, Shade held on to the tree and wanted to get up. The cat worriedly asked him to rest for a while before moving. Shade, who had escaped from the [false immortality] state, shook his head:
"No need, we have to leave here as soon as possible. If the thirteen-ring warlock catches up with us again, we really won't be able to leave."
Unlike the "Bloodweeper" Hermons he had seen before, this thirteen-ring warlock from the [Mirror Association] was truly in his prime.
He motioned the cat to look at the wound on his back. Only then did the pharmacist realize that the slender crack was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, there was only a faint trace left. scar. In the blink of an eye, even the scars disappeared.
"Your potion really works."
Xia De praised, going to get his clothes and put them on again. The sorceress in cat form doesn't know how to explain it. No matter how powerful her potion is, it doesn't have this effect:
"Are you a pure-blood human?"
As he spoke, he looked at Shade's upper body, which was gradually covered by a white shirt. She was by Shade's side now, and she was very sure that at least there was no genjutsu on his body. Judging from the skeletal and muscle characteristics, this body is undoubtedly male.
"I don't know this, but it's most likely not."
Xia De shook his head, not wanting to talk more about this issue. After he got dressed, he skillfully picked up the cat and held it in his arms:
"I'm fine for the time being, but what should you do? You can still control yourself in the current transformed state. After the transformation is over, will your human body really not be affected by your chaotic mental state?"
Take out the small pink essence bottle in your pocket and take a big sip, and then make a hissing sound to calm the burning sensation in your body caused by the influx of a large amount of spirit into your body. The cat also smelled the liquid, and then felt its body temperature rise a little.
Confirming that he was in good condition, Shade used illusion to hide his figure, and then moved towards the dock in the forest in the night and fog. Of course, while moving forward, he did not forget to put his hand on the cat's head and perform "Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift", a magical technique that specializes in treating mental damage. However, when using thaumaturgy, you have to resist the urge to touch the cat's head. Shade's hands have become almost instinctive on little Mia.
Although he wanted to say that he was fine, the cat held by Shade remained silent. Several times she and Shade encountered danger, and it was Shade who saved her. This time he even took the risk to face a thirteen-ring warlock:
"Why did you save me just now?"
The cat suddenly said.
"What answer do you want? Do I care about you? Or do I think you are very important to me? Madam, if you save me, you will save me. There is no reason, I just want to do this."
Shad replied softly, relying on memory and "her" help to find the way to the dock. It took too long for them to land on the island. There are rules on this island not to stay for a long time.
"There is no need to bear any mental burden because of this. I think you must repay me. I think if you regain all your strength, you will be the one who saved me today."
The cat nodded, and then the loose fingers followed up and pressed on her little head.
One person and one cat were silent for a while, and only the sound of Shade's slight footsteps sounded in the forest. When he finally saw the shadow of Greentown Lake Cemetery in the thick fog not far away, molding the lake into the night, the pharmacist lady suddenly asked:
"Are you really a man?"
"Yes, of course."
Xia De said, knowing that this was the witch making final confirmation.
He felt the cat's soft paws press **** his chest, but he did not point it out:
"What a strange question. What are you suspecting? Although my illusion is very powerful, but we are so close now. With your eleventh ring level, you shouldn't be able to tell my gender, right?"
The sorceress who transformed into a cat is glad that she is still in the form of a cat and can hide the expression on her face:
"If you are really a man, then you are really a magical person. Although all kinds of strange people will appear in every era of the material world, you...you have a big problem. When I recover after a while, I will protect you... To thank you for saving me this time, some groups may not be very friendly to existences like you, and you need my protection. ."
Sha De said nothing with a sullen face, while "she" smiled softly in Sha De's ear.
The sorceress seemed to have adapted to the cat form a little, and squirmed in Shade's arms:
"I know you don't trust me yet, but when things here are over, if you are willing, I... I will talk about the future things later."
"The way you talk now, it's obvious that your mental state is still not very good."
Shade was joking as he walked through the forest and came to the path connecting the town and the dock. Because she thought of her two followers again, the sorceress didn't speak anymore.
But fortunately, as Shade approached the dock, they also saw that the ship was still parked in the same place. According to the agreed-upon code, three weak lanterns were used for lighting, two were placed on the left side of the deck and one was placed on the right side of the deck.
"It seems that those from the Mirror Association did not land on the island from here."
Xia De also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best outcome that no one died.
He was still using illusions to hide himself, so the two sorceresses on the ship did not notice him. The pharmacist lady stopped Shade and asked him to stop temporarily:
"I don't want them to see me like this."
Actually, she didn't want her followers to see her cowering in the arms of a "man".
"The effect of the potion will end in five minutes, please wait a moment."
She said softly, and Shade did not continue walking towards the pier, but turned left and went to the beach not far away.
He held the cat in his arms and sat down on the beach. The air was very humid, and he could hear the sound of the tide in the lake, but the lake surface, almost under the dark night, was covered with heavy fog. Looking to the left, he could vaguely see the shadow of the pier and the three different lights. It's a very bright light.
This atmosphere is like a scene from a horror novel about the ocean. Thinking of this, Shade told the cat in his arms about meeting a water ghost in the lake and picking up a pile of "garbage".
The pharmacist lady listened carefully and tried to lie on Shade's lap, while Shade subconsciously reached out and stroked the hair on her back. After touching it a few times, she realized that this action was inappropriate, but that The cat did not refuse Shade to do this.
