Chapter 272: Snow Ibis
Chapter 272: Snow Ibis
"What should we do now?" Lu Tianjiao looked at his pursuer, the "Old Flame," with a worried expression and asked Li Qian.
Li Qian didn't hesitate. He shrugged and said, "You hold them off, I'll close my eyes and summon my pet again."
In his opinion, the reason his old flame could interrupt his summoning of Seven Sons and Little Six was most likely related to the crimson glow emanating from her eyes, which could affect one's mind.
If that was the case, closing his eyes and avoiding looking at the crimson gaze should negate the influence.
This was Li Qian's thought, and he directly expressed his idea. However, upon hearing this, Lu Tianjiao rolled his eyes in exasperation and shouted, "Bro, I can't hold them off!"
Without the ability to summon his pet, how could he possibly withstand the onslaught of this individual who had clearly surpassed the boundaries of a normal person?
"Even if I can't hold them off, I have to try!" Understanding Lu Tianjiao's predicament, Li Qian didn't intend to discuss it further. As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
I
As for being forced to reveal his trump card and making a scene at the Beast Academy, that was not something Li Qian needed to worry about.
Thinking of this, Li Qian took swift action. In this critical moment, he quickly moved closer to Lu Tianjiao, reducing the distance between them, and then closed his eyes to activate the Beastmaster Contract.
The summoning array appeared once more, and the spider-like figure subconsciously glanced over, and as expected, the crimson gaze began to flicker.
This time, Li Qian kept his eyes closed, assuming he wouldn't be affected again. However, to his surprise, the summoning array was interrupted once more.
Lu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat as he witnessed this. He hurriedly asked, "What's happening?"
"The eyes are just a manifestation. This person is disrupting my summoning contract, but the essence of it is probably energy!" Li Qian observed the spider-like figure with an eerie red glow in its eyes and speculated.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianjiao couldn't help but twitch his lips, "So, closing my eyes is useless."
"That's probably right," Li Qian said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.
"Damn it!" Lu Tianjiao couldn't help but curse upon hearing this.
"There's no other way, we have to fight," Li Qian said, shrugging helplessly. As he spoke, a dagger appeared in his hand, seemingly out of nowhere.
This was a weapon he kept in his spatial necklace for emergencies, and he never expected it to come in handy at this moment.
"Huh? Where did you get that weapon?" Lu Tianjiao asked in surprise, narrowly avoiding the spider-like figure's attack with a lazy roll.
"I just took it out from my spatial gear. What's the matter?" Li Qian replied instinctively.
"Damn it! How could I have forgotten to prepare some cold weapons!" Lu Tianjiao regretted his oversight, but unfortunately, there was no turning back time.
Li Qian sighed helplessly and glanced at him. No one could have anticipated this situation.
For a Beastmaster, cold weapons, let alone firearms, were of little use. If a pet could handle the opponent, there was no need for firearms. In a situation where pets were ineffective, having a firearm was no different from holding a burning stick.
Unless it was a super-powered weapon specifically designed by the Federation or a pet in the form of a firearm.
Seeing the spider-like figure still aggressively attacking Lu Tianjiao, Li Qian gritted his teeth and charged forward.
After all, they were neighbors, and Lu Tianjiao had even treated him to dinner. Li Qian couldn't abandon his teammate and flee at this moment.
Most importantly, Li Qian was confident that although he might get injured, he wouldn't be in mortal danger. Otherwise, he would have stayed far away.
With Li Qian's assistance, the situation improved significantly, although they were still barely holding on. Nonetheless, it seemed that in the short term, they wouldn't be overwhelmed.
"This isn't a solution," Li Qian frowned, deep in thought, as he struggled to cope.
In just a short while, some wounds had already appeared on his body.
Lu Tianjiao's "old flame" had long, sharp nails, moved swiftly, and a slight touch could leave a bloody mark on his body.
As Li Qian pondered, a milky white light suddenly descended from above, enveloping Lu Tianjiao's "old flame."
The sudden change startled both of them, but they were also overjoyed that someone had finally come to their aid.
Following the direction of the milky white light, Li Qian immediately noticed a white cat, roughly the size of a calf, hovering above them.
The white cat had three tails and a pair of wings on its back.
It was Domila's evolved form, Shamira.
The soft milky white light was emanating from Shamira's body.
"This is the skill 'Purification,' and it's quite proficient, at least at the Mastery level," Li Qian observed, instantly deducing some information from Shamira's skill.
As the purifying light enveloped her, Lu Tianjiao's "old flame" began to emit eerie red light.
"Ahhh..." Simultaneously, a heart-wrenching scream escaped her mouth.
Both Li Qian and Lu Tianjiao felt their scalps tingle upon hearing the scream.
Amidst the screams, the spider-like figure suddenly went into a frenzy, seemingly attempting to break free from the skill's range.
Just then, a cold voice rang out, "Moon Moon, restrain her!"
As the cold voice fell, a purple light circle appeared on the spider-like figure.
The purple light circle instantly halted the figure's movements.
It was clear that the skill had immobilized her, rendering her unable to move.
However, her screams continued to echo from her mouth.
The "Purification" skill continued to be cast, presumably treating her bizarre symptoms.
After about two minutes, a new development occurred.
A blood-red worm, as thick as a chopstick and about the same length, eerily emerged from her eyebrows.
"What the hell is that?!" Lu Tianjiao exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.
Li Qian's brows furrowed as well.
He didn't recognize this strange creature either.
However, it was certain that this creature was the culprit behind the day's events.
As the strange worm was forced out, Lu Tianjiao's "old flame" let out a final scream before passing out.
Lu Tianjiao's "old flame" moved swiftly, and he immediately went over to catch the falling woman. Li Qian, on the other hand, awkwardly turned his head away.
There was no choice; Lu Tianjiao's "old flame" had twisted her body into such a state that she resembled a large spider. In the thin nightgown, it couldn't withstand such rough handling, and it had already torn into strips of cloth hanging on her body, exposing a large area of skin.
After helping his "old flame," Lu Tianjiao somehow produced a pill in his hand, which he promptly fed to her.
After doing this, he suddenly reached out, and a coat appeared in his hand, which he draped over his "old flame."
"I know a bit of medical skills and can take a look at her condition." After putting on the coat, Lu Tianjiao prepared to carry his "old flame" to the medical room on campus. Just then, the cold voice sounded again.
Li Qian followed the sound and finally saw the person who had arrived in time to save them.
It was a girl, a very beautiful Snow Clan girl, with pointed ears, skin, and hair as white as snow, giving off a sense of purity like a celestial snow lotus.
Although he had seen Snow Clan girls in the square outside the Teleportation Center when he first arrived in Shazhou City, a quick glance at the time couldn't compare to the girl before his eyes.
Even Li Qian, who considered himself to have a good temperament and composure, couldn't help but feel his heart stir slightly upon seeing her.
"Then I'll trouble you." In this situation, even facing a stunningly beautiful girl of a different race, Lu Tianjiao maintained a serious demeanor, his eyes filled with gratitude as he spoke.
The Snow Clan girl glanced at Shamira, who was not far away, and Shamira immediately understood her beastmaster's intentions. She used her "Telekinesis" skill to levitate the unconscious Kucha Clan girl and bring her closer.
The Snow Clan girl extended her hand and began to touch the unconscious Kucha Clan girl. A faint, pure glow flickered at her fingertips.
The glow flickered on her fingertips, flickering on and off, and the Snow Clan girl gently pressed her finger to the Kucha Clan girl's forehead.
Time passed slowly, and more and more students discovered the situation here, as the commotion earlier had been quite loud.
Some stuck their heads out from balconies or windows, while others boldly approached.
"Classmate, do you need any help?"
"Classmate, what happened here?"
"Yeah, the noise earlier was quite loud, even waking someone like me who has excellent sleep quality."
"..."
The students whispered to each other, discussing the situation. Some even asked directly, offering to help.
Li Qian scanned the crowd of students who had gathered but had no intention of explaining the situation to them. He kept his eyes fixed on the Snow Clan girl.
After about three minutes, the Snow Clan girl retracted her finger, and Li Qian noticed that the Kucha Clan girl's forehead, which had originally had a bloody hole, had returned to its original pristine state.
Seeing this, Li Qian was slightly surprised.
Such terrifying healing abilities, and most importantly, the ability to heal others, not just self-healing like Lu Tianjiao.
Such abilities and talents were truly rare, so Li Qian was surprised and reminded himself that there were many talented individuals in this world, and he shouldn't become complacent just because of a small achievement.
The Snow Clan girl looked at Shamira again, and Shamira once again used her "Telekinesis" skill to transfer the Kucha Clan girl to Lu Tianjiao.
Lu Tianjiao didn't think much and directly hugged his "old flame."
After returning the Kucha Clan girl to Lu Tianjiao, the Snow Clan girl finally spoke, "Her condition has stabilized. Although the strange bloodworm's possession has caused damage to various parts of her body, fortunately, there are no fatal injuries. With some rest and recuperation, she should be able to recover."
Although Li Qian had already guessed this, hearing it from the Snow Clan girl's mouth still made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that there's no problem."
Recalling the events of the day, Li Qian shook his head helplessly.
Was he really born with bad luck, encountering problems wherever he went?
Even in the most unlikely place—inside the Beastmaster University campus—such an unexpected situation occurred.
Shaking his head, Li Qian brushed aside his complicated thoughts and took a step forward. "Thank you, classmate."
"May I ask how you'd like to be addressed?" After expressing his gratitude, he continued, "Also, do you know anything about this?"
"Snow Ibis." The Snow Clan girl didn't mind Li Qian's question, and her willow-leaf eyebrows also slightly furrowed. "As for what this is, I don't know either."
She gently waved her hand, and the strange blood-colored flesh worm, encased in a "Telekinesis" light circle, floated in front of her.
The flesh worm lay motionless within the light circle, seemingly devoid of all life.
"Is it..." Li Qian also saw the motionless flesh worm and looked at Snow Ibis with confusion.
Snow Ibis shook her head. "After being forced out of this classmate's body, it's normal that we don't recognize it. But I believe the teachers at the school will know."
Li Qian nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Excuse me, what happened here?" Just as Li Qian and Snow Ibis were talking, a middle-aged man's voice approached from a distance.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu!"
The appearance of the middle-aged man immediately caught the attention of the onlooking students.
They all stepped aside, making way for Teacher Xu, who quickly came forward.
At this moment, his face was filled with anxiety and concern.
There was no choice; every student living in Xianya Garden was an elite, a talented individual chosen from a hundred.
No accidents could be allowed.
Seeing that a teacher had arrived, Li Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the teacher the students called "Teacher Xu" and said, "Teacher Xu, something happened here. I'll explain it to you later, but please take this classmate for treatment first."
