Chapter 536 Dream (Part 1)
"Annie, I'm tired."
"Hold on a little longer and we'll be almost there."
There was hard gravel under her feet, and she felt a heartbreaking pain every time she took a step. Effie wanted to stop, but Annie held her hand tightly and kept pulling forward. Whether she was walking through bushes full of thorns or freezing cold streams, Annie's pace never slowed down at all. Looking from behind, her back was as strong as a mountain.
"Annie, I'm really tired..."
Effie begged again.
The soles of her feet felt like fire, and her whole body ached. No matter how much she breathed in, her chest felt constricted. She felt like she was going to die.
Annie let out a sigh, lay on the ground and listened for a while, then pointed to a raised stone not far away, "Let's go there to rest."
When she heard that she could rest, the last bit of strength rose from the bottom of her heart. She gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the boulder, then collapsed - at this moment, she even wanted to stay here forever.
Anne did not sit down immediately. She found some broken tree crowns from the surroundings and surrounded both sides of the stone to block part of the view. The upturned rock is like a natural roof. Now with branches on both sides, it looks more like a nest. It's a pity that the ground is still made of uneven stones, which makes the buttocks hurt, and the narrow gap cannot allow the two of them to lie flat on their backs.
"The church will not chase us. We have already escaped this far."
"We can't let down our guard. This distance is not considered safe for us."
Anne was as alert as a wild cat, her ears always perked, monitoring everything around her. But she is much stronger than wild cats, and pain is normal to her. Compared to those ferocious inquisitors, Annie is actually more like a silent predator - if she has weapons.
"Does Bloodfang... really exist?"
They were not the only witches looking for the Bloodfang Society. However, after leaving Graystone Fortress, the group encountered an interception from the church, and the five witches had to separate. She walked east for three days and three nights before meeting Annie. , while others were completely unheard from.
"Of course," Annie said while rubbing her toes, "I heard they are on Langya Island on the other side of the sea."
"But how are we going to cross the sea?"
"Just walk to the beach and find a ferry," Anne comforted. "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
"Yeah," Effie whispered.
She took out a piece of sun-dried meat skin from the package and covered it with both hands. Soon white smoke rose from the meat skin, becoming hot and soft. "Eat something first. After that, we will continue on our way."
This is Annie's ability. The palms of her hands can light branches and sticks, and can also roast food. Effie chewed up the meat skin hungrily and swallowed it. She drooled at the meat skin in the other person's hand. Annie smiled, bit off half of it and threw it to her, "You should eat more, I'm not too hungry."
After finishing this portion and sucking on each finger, it was time to hit the road again.
Yifei struggled to get up from the ground. Before she could get out of the rock, the dead leaves on the branches suddenly trembled.
It was not the swing when the autumn wind blew, but a slight and rapid tremor, as if something was approaching here.
Annie's pupils dilated instantly, "It's a horse! They're coming on horseback! Run!"
Yifei felt herself being pulled up. She ran a few steps subconsciously, and the pain in her feet returned to her whole body in an instant - her body had not recovered at all. It was very difficult to just stand, let alone run?
She looked back and saw a dozen galloping horses appearing at the end of the rocky beach. Probably because they were afraid of their horses breaking their hooves, the speed of the pursuers was not fast, but it was enough for the two people who were running for their lives barefoot.
They can't run away.
In other words, she couldn't run away.
Yifei broke away from Annie's hand and said, "You go first."
"I'll carry you."
"You can't run fast like that!"
"Obey, come up quickly."
During the hesitation, the Judgment Army on tall horses was getting closer and closer, and Yifei had already seen someone raising a hand crossbow and throwing a spear.
At this moment, the pitted gravel ground suddenly collapsed, and the enemy riding in front screamed and fell into the deep pit. The team hurriedly dispersed to both sides, but unexpectedly, the horses fell to their knees, and a group of figures in blood-red robes appeared in front of the church's pursuers without warning, as if they had emerged from the ground. The powerful crossbow fire at close range caught the Judgment Army off guard, and the enemies who were lucky enough to escape the crossbow bolts could not escape the ambushers' pursuit. After a while, more than ten church pursuers all died on the rocky beach.
Then they quickly stripped these people of their armor, dry food, and packages, not even sparing the God's Stone of Retaliation.
One of them walked up to them.
"Are you looking for the Bloodfang Society?"
"How do you know?" Ifei asked in surprise.
"Yes, my lord," Anne pinched her hand eagerly, "We are all witches, and there are three other people who got separated on the road. Can you help them?"
"We don't have that many manpower to take care of other witches," the visitor took off his hood, revealing short fiery red hair. "If your partner can't get here on his own strength, he is not qualified to join the Bloodfang Society." She said. After a moment of pause, "Of course, those who arrive here are not necessarily able to join the Blood Fang Society."
Effie felt Annie's hand tighten.
"What are your abilities? Demonstrate it to me."
After the two of them finished using their abilities, the red-haired woman nodded towards Ifei, "You can go to Grand Duke Island," and then said to Annie, "But you can't."
"Why?"
"Sir, I——"
"I will send someone to send you to other witch organizations, but not the Bloodfang Society," the other party's tone left no room for doubt, "You cannot become a combat witch, and the Bloodfang Society does not need a cook."
…
"What's there to cry about?" the red-haired woman scolded impatiently, "You will still look like this when you see the master later. She will definitely make you look good."
"I...want to be with Annie..."
"Good-for-nothing brat, she's nothing but a burden."
"She's not, she saved me!" Iffi swallowed the snot, "Anne is the battle witch you need..."
"Hey, whether you are a fighting witch depends on your ability when awakened, not your thick limbs," the other party said disdainfully, "You think she is powerful just because she is five or six years older than you. In fact, your potential is higher. Much bigger than her."
"Then...where will you send Anne?"
"It's none of your business."
Effie's nose became sore again.
The red-haired woman frowned, "Listen up, Master doesn't like cowardly people. If you want to survive on Grand Duke Island, don't mention the past things again."
