"Beep, beep, beep, beep -"
The voices that sounded like a mantra were so urgent that they were almost connected together.
The other party is still seven meters away from Xia Ye...
Six meters...
Five meters...
Xia Ye stretched out her hand to the black cat lying on the hat, and pinched the cat's back neck with her fingers.
Four meters...
She suddenly felt a tension on her shoulders, and when she reacted, Luka had already wrapped her left hand around Xia Ye's body and dragged her behind her.
Three meters...
Luka waved her right hand, and a flash of blue with an afterimage shot towards the silver-haired girl's neck. With a "ding" sound, a blue knife made of magic power was bounced into the air, and the lace fabric on the outer layer of the collar tore. into pieces, revealing the metal ring inside.
There is a flat crack on the silver-white metal ring. This crack has cut off the collar, but the alarm sound from the collar has not stopped.
"Beep——————" The voice has turned into a long cry.
Luka turned around decisively, grabbed Xia Ye, pressed her body with his own, and threw herself to the ground.
Xia Ye fell backwards involuntarily, Luka held her tightly, making her almost unable to move, but fortunately her wrist could still move. She threw Xiuji out with a slight wave, and the black cat was flying in the air. Rolling and deforming, the body stretched and lengthened rapidly.
"----drop----"
In the blink of an eye, the black cat had turned into a tentacle. One end of the tentacle was connected to Xia Ye's palm, and the other end was swung out like a whip, pointing directly at the silver-haired girl's neck.
"------drop--"
The tentacles wrapped around the break of the collar, then twisted and pulled, and the metal ring was pulled off the girl's neck as if it were made of paper. Almost at the same time, Xia Ye flicked her wrist again, and Xiu Ji received the order and threw the collar high.
"----------drop"
boom--! ! !
There was an explosion, purple flames rose up, and the collar exploded in mid-air four or five meters away. The metal that split into several pieces was like a flying knife, spinning and piercing into the nearby stone slabs.
"..."
The frightened silver-haired girl stood there blankly, forgetting to even cry.
Xia Ye hooked her fingers, retracted the tentacle, and turned it back into the shape of a black cat, then pushed Luka who was pressing on her.
"Hey, you're so heavy, you're so heavy that I can barely breathe."
"Feel sorry."
Luka put one hand on the ground, rolled her body to the side with an unnatural movement, and stood up.
Xia Ye also got up from the ground, dusting himself off and saying, "But there's nothing to be sorry for. I didn't expect that collar to be so powerful..."
Her words suddenly stopped because she happened to see a piece of metal embedded in Luka's lower back.
The black-haired girl was holding her hand behind her back, clamping the fragment with her fingers, and slowly pulled it out of her body.
With a soft "clang" sound, the metal fragments were thrown to the ground by Luka. Almost at the same time, blood gushes out from the wound, dyeing the black shirt fabric darker.
Luka frowned her slender eyebrows, but her expression remained calm. She took out a knife from her small pocket, cut the cloth near the wound, put the knife away, and dug out the bandaging items from another pocket...
But before he could use it, Xia Ye's head was already close to the wound.
"Hey you……"
"Chiliu——"
A cold, moist, soft and waxy feeling slipped from the wound. When Luka reacted, Xia Ye had already stood up again and wiped the corners of her mouth with her fingers.
"Look, one lick will stop the bleeding. Don't ask what this ability is, I won't tell you." She said with a smile.
As if to confirm her words, the wound seemed to have been tightened by a faucet, quickly stopping the bleeding. Not only that, even the pain quickly subsided, replaced by a dull numbness.
A few seconds later, only a thin seam remained in the extremely deep wound, and an emerald green line slowly emerged on Luka's skin, crossing both sides of the wound.
This was an application of Xiu Ji's "erosion" ability. Of course, Xia Ye didn't intend to tell Luka.
But Luka didn't ask questions. Her focus was obviously not on this. The girl looked at Xia Ye, with a complicated look in her dark eyes.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Xia Ye put on an incomprehensible expression, her eyes darting left and right, avoiding Luka's gaze. After a moment, she clapped her hands again as if she suddenly realized: "You're not waiting for me to thank you, are you?"
Luca: "..."
"Thank you!" The girl with white hair and red eyes held her hat and saluted with a playful smile, "If it weren't for you, I would have been hit by that fragment."
——Although she was curious about whether her skin could block the fragment, it was better not to try it.
"..." Luka still looked at her without saying a word.
Xia Ye: "Hey, you don't think that just saying thank you verbally is not enough, do you? What do you want? To pay you for your magic power? To owe you a favor? Ah! Could it be that you want me..."
"No need." The black-haired girl finally said, "On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you. After all, you took care of my injury."
"That's just a small thing, but since you want to thank me, then we can offset the two things and owe each other nothing..."
Before Xia Ye finished speaking, she heard the other party continue:
"in addition."
"Um?"
"Your tongue feels so good."
"???!!!"
"But don't do that again next time."
When Luka lowered her head and finished speaking, she looked at Xia Ye again and found that the girl's cheeks were already as red as her eyes.
"You, you, you, you...I don't...that...ahhhhh-!!!"
The expression that had always been calm suddenly collapsed. Xia Ye tried to defend herself incoherently, but even she couldn't understand what she said. In the end, she could only cover her face, bury her head on the ground, and scream in self-defeat.
"What's wrong with you...are you injured anywhere?" Luka's concerned voice came again.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-"
"..."
"call……"
After more than ten seconds, Xia Ye finally stopped shouting. She took a deep breath and was silent for five or six seconds. When she raised her head again, the blush on her face had disappeared without a trace.
Without even looking at Luka, she turned around and walked towards the silver-haired girl not far away. So many things had happened in a short period of time, and the other party was obviously at a loss and could only stand there blankly. The guard who was originally going to chase her was stopped by another guard. The other guard pointed at Xia Ye and whispered a few words to his companion. In the end, the two of them stayed and watched from a distance.
"What's your name, little sister?" Xia Ye walked up to the silver-haired girl with a calm smile and asked softly.
"Wei...Venilla." The girl answered cautiously.
