Chapter 147: Creatures of Light and Shadow
Amidst the sound of the house being destroyed by flames, the figure rushed out of the house, and the blazing flames did not seem to cause harm to the figure. On the contrary, the figure flew a certain distance with the help of the hot wind caused by the flames.
The huge four-winged firebird with one eye on its belly also immediately noticed this incident. Immediately, the huge firebird's wings were flaming, trying to pursue the target.
However, as soon as the figure landed on the ground, the hazy body that seemed to intersect with light and shadow suddenly turned into a vivid gray cat, rushing into the woods in the northwest corner of the courtyard at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the huge firebird also flew out, drawing a fiery red shadow in the sky, scattering countless flames, and passed through the woods——
Its target is the woods on the other side that are almost directly compared to the woods in the courtyard.
At this time, Triss looked at all this happening with a blank expression.
Flames reflected in her eyes.
She recalled her experience on the Stairway to Heaven. When the burning airship crashed to the ground, one after another burning figures flew out of the cabin.
However, at this moment, she seemed to feel something and suddenly looked towards the direction of the woods.
At the side entrance of the courtyard, in front of a mirror erected on a wooden pole, a woman with her eyes closed seemed to have noticed something, looked at her, and then walked towards her.
At the same time, a gray cat was running rapidly.
Its body ran quickly through the woods, and the flames spread rapidly behind it, as if no, it was chasing it.
There was no lag in the gray cat's movements, as if it was extremely familiar with the terrain here.
When has this area been completely explored, or are these obstacles difficult for it?
Said that it cannot block its sight.
Depending on the situation, it should be the latter——
A gust of scorching wind crashed down from the sky. Amidst the explosions, trees fell one after another. However, it turned back and changed directions some distance in advance, like a prophet.
And the firebird was also biting its back with no intention of relaxing, as if as long as the other party got rid of this pursuit, it would lose the opportunity.
And this is also true——
The fiery wind struck down like heavy objects, setting the forest on fire, and one tree after another fell with a loud explosion.
But this time, the strong wind hit it directly towards its location, instead of predicting a certain distance and aiming forward to hit it as before.
This time, the gray cat's actions of accelerating or decelerating in advance and changing direction were no longer feasible.
However, at this moment, the gray cat stopped and stretched out its claws.
And the reason——
Beside it, a sunstone car with a lot of rust was parked quietly on the lawn burned by the flames.
In this world where driving at night is not possible, there are two reflectors installed in the position of a car light.
Perhaps it is a structure that is useful but not necessary on cloudy days or in the evening or early morning. At this moment, the figure of the gray cat is reflected.
only.
In the reflector, the gray cat's body is very huge.
The next moment, the bursting flames that fell down were scattered by a huge gray claw.
Ten meters, twenty meters
The huge gray cat appeared next to the four-winged firebird almost instantly.
The four-winged firebird, which was originally very large in shape with a wingspan of more than twenty meters, at this moment, looked very petite compared to the gray cat.
However, at this moment, the gray cat's body structure has a strong sense of deformation.
In the overly curved position, you can faintly see the interlacing light and shadow.
However, compared with these, if the claws slapped towards the head of the firebird are real, the firebird will encounter the same situation as the flames that were shot away before.
However, at this moment, the red-flamed firebird suddenly raised its head and screamed——
It was a boiling sound like hot flames evaporating liquid.
Then, a huge one eye, closed on its abdomen, suddenly opened at this moment.
Moreover, it is not empty, but with a clear and strong will.
The next moment, the huge one eye tore open, opened a huge mouth, and suddenly bit the gray cat.
In that huge mouth, there was only darkness without any flames, as if it was leading into some dark abyss.
And in this situation, the huge gray cat seemed to be aware of the danger, and its twisted giant claw suddenly changed its direction and accelerated again——
boom--
Flesh and blood spattered, and the gray cat stirred up a storm by waving its claws at a speed that its own body could not bear.
The storm wind, which could tear apart the trees on the ground in an instant, blew the firebird away for a distance.
The huge mouth opened from the belly also caused the attack to deflect due to this action.
At this moment, the gray cat quickly retreated.
The huge figure formed another appearance on the smooth surface of the car body.
Almost instantly, the huge gray cat's body suddenly collapsed, like a balloon.
But at the same time, a gray monster that was twisted in another form, but much smaller in size and only the size of a human, jumped out from the surface of the vehicle.
It was so deformed that some parts that couldn't even be seen as eyes had a look of surprise and uncertainty.
You seem to be being targeted?
The gray monster's "eyes" narrowed.
A month ago, he thought it was an illusion, but no matter where he moved, these guys could chase him.
It was as if all his whereabouts had been exposed.
However, he was very familiar with sight and the changes of light and shadow.
This was definitely not a remote observation or peeping ability.
If someone was peeping at him, or someone was using their ability to observe him somewhere, he would definitely be able to find out.
However, this time it didn't work, so it could be ruled out.
Were those guys in the Sun City ambushing him? They deliberately avoided all means of observation with sight?
That wasn't right either, he didn't feel any special spiritual power, only the burning spiritual power of this world.
The gray cat rushed, and its chaotic surface completely collapsed at this moment, revealing the hazy human figure with interlaced light and shadow.
Without any delay, he passed through the woods and the human settlement where all kinds of smooth-surfaced utensils were placed everywhere.
However, the constant deformation and repeated changes in posture could not shake off the pursuers behind him.
There is no doubt that there is some way of spying outside the line of sight, observing it.
After turning around again and bypassing a crowded street, he looked around and planned to get into a mirror to escape.
However, the firebird formed by the red flame did not care about humans at all, and its huge body directly passed over the block.
One by one, men and women were instantly ignited by the high-temperature flames, and the combustibles and grease on their bodies burned at a very fast speed, turning them into charcoal sculptures.
On the street that instantly turned into charcoal, the light and shadow figures that turned into men could not help but give up their previous plans and run faster.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden flower in front of him, and the blazing flames rose from the ground. Under the high temperature, the entire street scene collapsed into various colors like the pigments of a dissolved oil painting.
However, these colors soon turned black.
All things with smooth surfaces that could serve as "mirrors" exploded or turned into black charcoal at this moment.
