Chapter 1589
"Oh!"
Xia De, who was traveling in the thick fog in the forest, couldn't get up again after falling abruptly.
The black and white cat spent a lot of effort to crawl out from under his body, and then saw the slender and straight wound on Xia De's back. The clothes were torn, and there was a long, thin bloodstain on the skin.
Although the wound looked like it had been scratched by a sharp silver dinner knife, she knew what this meant.
Her transformation time hadn't ended yet. She meowed a few times, saw that he didn't respond, and tried hard to get close to his neck, wanting to test his pulse. The woman's voice was filled with panic and sadness:
"John Watson, wake up, you absolutely cannot..."
"Oh!"
Xia De, who suddenly raised his head, startled the black and white cat, and the way he widened his eyes and breathed heavily undoubtedly proved that he wasn't dead yet:
"【False Immortality】 state, it was actually triggered!"
The pain in his back made Xia De's voice tremble:
"As expected of a Thirteen-Ring, if it weren't for being on this island, the two of us wouldn't have been able to run away. Pharmacist miss, is it your bad luck or my bad luck? Both times we boarded the island, we encountered accidents. Last time it was a monster from an unknown space, this time it was a Thirteen-Ring, next time I can't even imagine what it will be."
He tried hard to support his body and wanted to stand up, but in the end, he only moved his body weakly, letting himself sit up and lean against a tree on the side.
"Don't talk about this for now, how are you now? There is a healing potion in my bag!"
The pharmacist miss in the form of a cat asked anxiously. She could see that Xia De was almost down to his last breath:
"You shouldn't have appeared just now, you were hiding very well, I have a way to get out by myself."
"Miss, in your current state, I'm worried that you'll lose control in the next second. Could it be that the way you mentioned is to attack everyone indiscriminately after completely losing control? You shouldn't have used the power of a High-Ring sorcerer."
Xia De said in a low voice, took out the pharmacist miss's bag from his pocket, and found the blood-red potion for treatment under the cat's direction.
"You drink one-third, and I'll apply the rest to your wound."
She said anxiously, feeling that Xia De's vitality was getting weaker and weaker, but in fact, Xia De felt that his powerful self-healing ability was exerting its effect.
He first stabilized his state with a healing miracle, then drank the potion according to the cat's instructions. The blood oozing from the wound on his back had already stained his clothes red. To facilitate treatment, he simply took off his coat and shirt according to the cat's request.
She was worried about Xia De's state and didn't care about the badge on his chest. The cat bit the small bottle and stepped on Xia De's shoulder, then tilted the bottle, letting the blood-red potion slide along the skin of his back to the wound. The temperature on the man's body made her a bit uncomfortable, but Xia De's risky action to save her just now made her feel something indescribable in her heart.
The slowly flowing liquid made Xia De feel his wound itching. And when the cat finished pouring the potion, she dropped the test tube and said worriedly:
"This is a wound left by the spatial power of a Thirteen-Ring sorcerer. The tearing of space will keep the wound existing, I'm afraid it won't be easy to heal. Let's go back to the city now, you come back with me, no matter what, I will heal you."
"No need for such trouble."
Xia De shook his head, pressing his hand on his chest:
"Spatial tearing, right? Spatial Stability Halo."
This time the miracle was cast directly on himself. The power of splitting space that went deep into the internal organs was expelled in an instant. This was not because "Mirror-Hiding Man's" miracle wasn't powerful, but because Xia De already had high resistance to spatial power, and this was ultimately just residual power.
After doing all this, Xia De leaned on the tree and wanted to get up. The cat worriedly told him to rest for a while before moving, but Xia De, who had already broken away from the 【False Immortality】 state, shook his head:
"No need, we must leave here as soon as possible. If we are caught up by that Thirteen-Ring sorcerer again, we really won't be able to leave."
Unlike Hermons the "Blood-Weeper" he had seen, this Thirteen-Ring sorcerer of the 【Mirror Association】 was in a real full state.
He signaled the cat to look at the wound on his back, and the pharmacist miss then discovered that the slender crack was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, only a faint scar remained. In the blink of an eye, even the scar disappeared.
"Your potion is really effective."
Xia De praised, and went to get his clothes to put them on again. The sorceress in cat form didn't know how to explain. Even if her potion was powerful, it wouldn't have this effect:
"Are you a pure-blooded human?"
While saying this, she looked at Xia De's upper body, which was gradually covered by a white shirt. She was by Xia De's side now and was very sure that at least there was no illusion on his body. And judging from the skeletal and muscular characteristics, this body was undoubtedly male.
"I'm not sure about this either, but it's likely not."
Xia De shook his head, not wanting to talk more about this problem. After putting on his clothes, he skillfully grabbed the cat and held it in his arms:
"I'm fine for now, but what about you? Your transformation state, you can still control yourself now. After the transformation ends, will your human body really not be affected by your chaotic mental state?"
He took out the small bottle of pink perfume from his pocket and drank a large mouthful, then made a "hissing" sound, calming the burning sensation in his body caused by the large influx of spirit. The cat also smelled the liquid, and then felt her body temperature rise a bit.
Confirming that the state was very good, Xia De cast an illusion to hide his figure, and then moved toward the pier in the night and fog in the forest. Of course, during the process of moving forward, he didn't forget to put his hand on the cat's head and cast "Cynthia's Silver Moon Grace," which was a miracle specifically for treating mental damage. It's just that when using the miracle, he had to restrain the urge to touch the cat's head. Xia De's hand had almost practiced this instinct on Little Mia.
Although she wanted to say she was fine, the cat held by Xia De remained silent. Several times encountering danger with Xia De, it was Xia De who saved her, and this time he even risked facing a Thirteen-Ring sorcerer:
"Just now, why did you save me?"
The cat asked suddenly.
"What answer do you want to get? That I care about you? Or that I think you are very important to me? Miss, saved is saved, there is no reason, I just wanted to do so."
Xia De answered softly, relying on his memory and "She's" help to find the way to the pier. They had stayed on the island for too long, and there were rules on this island that one couldn't stay for too long.
"Don't have any mental burden because of this, thinking that you must repay me. I think if you recover all your power, today it would be you saving me."
The cat nodded, and then the loosened fingers followed, pressing on her small head.
The man and the cat were silent for a while, and only Xia De's slight footsteps sounded in the forest. By the time he finally saw the blurred shadow of Green Lake Town cemetery in the night in the thick fog not far away, the pharmacist miss asked again:
"Are you really a man?"
"Yes, of course."
Xia De said, knowing that this was the witch making a final confirmation.
He felt the soft claws of the kitten press hard on his chest, but he didn't point this out:
"What a strange question, what are you doubting? Although my illusion is very powerful, with our distance so close now, with your Eleven-Ring level, you shouldn't even be unable to tell my gender, right?"
The sorceress who turned into a cat was very glad that she was still in the form of a cat, which could hide the expression on her face:
"If you are really a man, then you are really amazing. Although strange people appear in every era of the material world, you... there is a big problem with you. Wait until I recover in a while, I will protect you... to thank you for saving me again this time. Some groups probably won't be very friendly to an existence like you, you need my protection."
Xia De kept a straight face and didn't speak, while "She" smiled gently in Xia De's ear.
The sorceress seemed to have adapted slightly to the cat's form, and squirmed in Xia De's arms:
"I know you don't trust me very much yet, but when the matter here is over, if you are willing, I... we'll talk about the future later."
"The way you are talking now, obviously your mental state is still not very good."
Xia De joked, and had already passed through the forest and came to the small path connecting the town and the pier. Because she remembered her two followers again, the sorceress didn't speak anymore.
But fortunately, as Xia De approached the pier, they also saw that the ship was still in its original place. And according to the secret signal discussed, three dim lanterns were used for illumination, 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 people from the Mirror Association didn't land from here."
Xia De also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best result that no one lost their life because of this.
He was still using illusion to hide himself, so the two sorceresses on the ship didn't discover him. And the pharmacist miss stopped Xia De, letting him stop temporarily:
"I don't want them to see me like this."
Actually, it was because she didn't want her followers to see her curled up in the arms of a "man."
"The potion effect will end in five minutes, wait a moment."
She said softly, so Xia De didn't continue to walk toward 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 waves of the big lake, but the surface of the lake in the dark night, which was almost close at hand, was covered by thick fog. Looking to the left, he could vaguely see the shadow of the pier and the three not-so-bright lights.
This atmosphere was simply a scene from a horror novel about the ocean. And thinking of this, Xia De told the cat in his arms about the water ghosts he encountered in the lake and the pile of "trash" he picked up.
The pharmacist miss listened very seriously, trying to lie on Xia De's lap, while Xia De reached out and stroked the fur on her back subconsciously. After stroking a few times, he realized that this action was inappropriate, but the cat didn't refuse Xia De to do so.
