Yaleriga's acceptance of this matter was much higher than Qiaoqiao Tianyi's. When she saw the footprints that briefly appeared on the mud, she realized that it was difficult for most adult cat people to have such small flesh pads. However, she could not rule out the weight loss caused by some spells, and it was difficult to say whether there was a native species in this strange world that was unusually similar to the cat people's footprints.
She also heard what the black-tailed cat man shouted to them. Needless to say, she immediately understood why this milk-sounding killer appeared here. It must have been following them for some time, and may have been spying on her while in Gate City. Considering that she stayed in the tombkeeper's stone courtyard for most of her time in Gate City, the other party obviously didn't find an opportunity to strike.
The muzzle of the cat-man's talon sheath burst into flames.
Qiaoqiao Tianyi's horn has been shining for some time. When a bullet hit in front of them, it slowed down as if it was stuck in a gel. Qiaoqiao Tianyi glided dexterously to avoid it, and escaped unscathed in the hail of bullets.
"How are your legs?" she cried, "and what's going on with the Wanderers? I haven't heard of any Wanderers taking part in the Sugar Land business!"
"It was not hired by the Durandians, the Huanwo people hired it to take revenge on us." Yaleriga replied.
"What did you do to the Huanwo people?"
"Took away what they robbed. Also freed some of their slaves. They colonized several planets in trap zones."
"God, is this the crime that the Lord of the Gate City told me you have committed?"
"I think he figured out we were doing a lot of illegal sugar trading."
"But forcing primitive people to be slaves! Oh! Forget it! I have heard a lot about this kind of thing since I left my hometown. It is really difficult for pansapiens to change their barbaric nature... How is your leg?"
Yaleriga tried to move her injured leg to make sure that the bones and nerves were not seriously damaged. Her protective clothing and skin tissue modification all worked very well. If not, the black tail might have completely broken her legs. Naturally, it does not belong to the innate power of the catman's tail. This is indeed a competent professional killer who has undergone precise transformation.
"Let's go back to the ship first." She said to Qiaoqiao Tianyi, "It looks like it has no flight strategy."
The cat people on the ground ended the first round of shooting. Its eyes were fixed on them, and its claws were turned away from its back, as if it was replenishing ammunition. And when they passed a bullet hovering in the air, Yaleriga reached out to catch the bullet before it fell.
She didn't have time to look at the bullet carefully. She just touched its tip and tail with her fingers, and immediately realized that the outer shell of the bullet's head was not a regular armor, but a layer of cleverly stacked shape memory fibers. She had never actually seen the ammunition, but had heard of its existence.
"Spider bombs," she said, immediately putting the bullet into the soft bladder box originally used to collect radiation. "You can't be hit by this kind of bullet."
Qiaoqiao Tianyi flew higher to ensure that they were out of the killer's shooting range. Her horns were still glowing, but she did not leave the battlefield smoothly.
"What are the bullets you just mentioned?" she asked Yaleriga.
"That bullet has memory wire on the tip. If it hits you - or any armor that's tough enough - the bullet itself will fall apart inside you like a flower, and its tip will recover. The original shape, usually, would cause the entire body of a small to medium-sized species to be penetrated by thin metal wires and completely twisted into a ball. The ends of the metal wires would come out from different parts of the body, just like turning into a spider."
Qiaoqiao Tianyi didn't speak for a few seconds.
"I really don't understand," she finally said, "Why do you design these things?"
Yaleriga didn't answer. There were many weapons in her memory that were much crueler than spider bombs. Her ancestor Melendra invented many "toys" to use against mages who refused to obey her. Yaleriga only knew a little description about them, which was enough to make her feel that the spider bombs were at least pursuing lethality rather than torture.
"Cats like to hunt," she said, "and this is a tideland area, and energy weapons are prone to malfunction."
"That's right, at least it hasn't taken out its laser cannon to shoot at us. And the terrain here doesn't give it a chance to use it. Without the blocking ice candy towers in Sugar City, it can't jump over and hit us."
Qiaoqiao Tianyi hovered in the sky. They had flown so high that they could only see a small dot on the ground with a black tail. It seemed that the cat killer couldn't use its wings to chase after him, but Yaleriga didn't feel at ease because of this. On the contrary, she was full of doubts about this smooth situation. The Huanwo people had seen Jing Huang's power before, and she thought that if they wanted to hire someone to take revenge, they should undoubtedly consider the strength level of the person hired. There may be something vicious about spider bombs and body modifications, but as we all know, ancient laws are difficult to harm with physical means. She didn't think the Huanwo people would forget such an important thing.
"Let's go back to the ship first," she suggested again.
"But this kid won't just let it go, right?" Qiaoqiao Tianyi asked, "It will definitely pester us next time. Fortunately, you discovered it in advance this time. If we meet in inappropriate terrain next time It might cause big trouble! According to me, we'd better catch it now."
"I didn't bring many weapons. What are your plans?"
"I am also a qualified warrior, remember? Although I don't like doing this, this vicious brat deserves a sunrise charge!"
Qiaoqiao Tianyi's back tensed up. The light on her horn vibrated, and a spark accidentally jumped out of it. That was undoubtedly the prelude to some kind of offensive spell, and even the air began to twist, faintly flashing a liquid reflection. White-gold translucent lightning shuttled past them again and again, weaving into a sharp spear-like structure at the top. Finally, they were wrapped in a layer of diamond-shaped lightning nets like arrowheads, aimed at the killer below from a distance.
"Get some social education!" Qiaoqiao Tianyi shouted, "You uneducated brat!"
The diamond-shaped lightning net took them swooping towards the ground. Although there was no wind pressure inside, Yaleriga even saw a pale white steam condensation belt forming behind them, and she didn't hear any sound. The sound has been left behind them.
She turned around and within two seconds they were about to hit the ground. The downy face of the cat-man killer was clearly displayed before her eyes. It was standing directly in front of where the pointed corners of the Qiaoqiao Tianyi pointed, and the huge diamond-shaped lightning network seemed to have made it impossible to escape.
The childish face was grinning sneer, and the pupils in the topaz-colored irises slowly dilated, occupying all of its eyes. In the end, Yaleriga could no longer see the dark yellow color with the luster of jade, but two deep deep holes.
She was still rushing towards the ground, and the deep hole was actively expanding towards her. Colorful galaxies and nebulae swirled from the deep hole, and were still approaching her infinitely. Her vision was falling rapidly in the universe in her pupils, but her body was still, as if she had died.
The incongruity made her dizzy. For two or three seconds, her nerves seemed to have completely lost control of her body, until she turned off her vision with willpower and struggled to escape from the bottomless black hole of her pupils. She turned her head hard and regained her vision.
She noticed they were falling.
Qiaoqiao Tianyi lost her balance just like her. The diamond-shaped lightning network has not disappeared, but it has completely deviated from its original trajectory. They crashed into a deep swamp at a completely wrong angle, and the water stirred up completely obscured Yaleriga's sight. The diamond-shaped lightning network has not completely disappeared, causing the liquid in contact with it to evaporate into billowing brown mist.
Yaleriga pulled out the dagger. Her consciousness was still drifting at a high speed that her body could not adapt to, so she was far slower and weaker than before. But she had to pull up the Qiaoqiao Tianyi as much as possible to let them take off quickly before being attacked.
"Hey, Cow," a voice said behind her, "How are my eyes?"
Yaleriga turned around and blocked with her dagger. Her eyes flashed across the long, dark shadow, and then she received another blow to the injured area on her leg. She couldn't dodge - behind that leg, she remembered that it was Qiao Tianyi's abdomen.
She spoke the spell and the dagger burned with blue fire. As she swung forward, the cat-man leaped away deftly. The soles of its feet were obviously treated to make it lighter and more flexible than hers on the swamp surface.
The catman pointed the muzzle of his taloned gun at her. Yaleriga stopped chasing after her. Her eyes were fixed on the tips of her opponent's claws - she knew the structure of the shooter of the cat-man's claw holster. Before the bullet was fired, its claw tip would obviously shrink once, and that was her last resort to predict and dodge the spider bullets. Chance.
Qiaoqiao Tianyi moaned behind her. Yaleriga estimated that she was not seriously injured, but the imbalance seemed to have left a longer lasting impression on the flyer.
"Is that all you have?" said the Cat Killer. "Bah! Two fat and useless wastes. I can chop you into pieces with just one hand. Hey, cow, I'm going to take your head off." Bake it and give it to the little dwarf, and watch him wet his pants!"
Its topaz-like irises began to shrink from the inside again. Two deep holes enlarged on Velvet's face and spun towards Yaleriga.
