Once outside the city, Xiangzi finally understood what Aiyin meant by "a large area of monsters".
She initially thought it was just an exaggeration made in the heat of the moment, but after seeing it in person, she realized that Aine had underestimated the situation. Dozens of large monsters and waves of smaller monsters gathered in the fields outside the capital, crushing, trampling, and churning each other. Every second, small monsters, like goblins, were trampled to death by their companions, and swarms of monsters turned the fields black.
"What's going on?!" Xiangzi stood on the city wall, looking at the horde of monsters churning across the plains.
"I don't know, it just suddenly turned out like this, everyone was shocked."
Are they going to attack the city?
“No, it doesn’t seem so.” Ai Yin shook her head. “They’ve been staying in that area for a while now, and they don’t seem to be moving towards the city.”
"Then their purpose..."
"They seem to be chasing a target." Chu Hua appeared beside Xiangzi, her sharp eyes fixed on a certain point in the sea of monsters. "There's someone over there."
Of all the people present, only Chu Hua could clearly see a figure fleeing in panic amidst the sea of demons.
"A person?" Xiangzi frowned.
"Yes, it's a person... Wait!" Chu Hua's eyes suddenly widened, her pupils instinctively returning to their original shape in shock. "The monster is chasing Meow Dream!"
Meow Dream?!
Hearing this name that he hadn't heard in a long time, Xiangzi's heart skipped a beat.
How did she get here? Were those monsters targeting her?
In the end what happened?
As a host of questions raced through his mind, Xiangzi made a swift decision. Or rather, he made such a decision without even needing to think.
"Go save her, quick!"
"Xiao Xiang, do you want to come with me?" Chu Hua jumped onto the city wall and asked back.
"Take me with you."
"Okay." Chu Hua nodded and jumped off the city wall.
As Chu Hua fell, a white material covered his entire body, and his figure suddenly grew much larger, reaching five or six meters in height by the time he landed. Two pairs of enormous wings, one large and one small, reflecting the luster of marble, sprouted from his back, with a wingspan of more than ten meters.
She stood in front of the city wall, no less imposing than the towering wall itself, like a giant statue.
To be precise, it does indeed look like a statue now.
Hundred Forms – Golem Form.
After becoming Xiangzi's familiar, Chu Hua's Hundred Aspects Magic was enhanced, allowing her to transform into constructs. Once her character reached the maximum level, her magic power was sufficient to support her transformation into a colossal golem.
Xiangzi jumped onto Chuhua's shoulder and patted her hard cheek.
"Let's go."
With a flap of its wings, the marble wings whipped up a gust of wind, defying the laws of physics, and carried them into the sky.
Soon, they arrived above the sea of monsters.
"Meow Dream is there, I see it!"
Xiangzi pointed to the tiny dot that resembled a small boat and shouted.
"Ok!"
Chu Hua folded its wings and landed on the ground with a thud, splashing up a bunch of small monsters, like an osprey diving into the water to hunt, stirring up a wave as it accurately found its prey.
"Got it, Xiao Xiang." Chu Hua tossed the humanoid creature over his shoulder and immediately rushed out.
The reason she transformed into a tall golem was to avoid getting too entangled with these smaller monsters. As for the large monsters that surrounded them, Chu Hua could use her strong wings as weapons to force them away.
Xiangzi caught the cat dream she threw up, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Miaomeng looked extremely disheveled at this moment.
His clothes were all tattered, he was covered in grime from all sorts of monsters, and his wounds were so deep that the bone was visible.
However, torn clothes and deep wounds that exposed bone were not a big problem for Miaomeng at all.
The real problem is her almost overflowing soul gem, and...
The right arm was covered with eyes, and they kept bubbling out like bubbles rising from boiling water.
The Lost Tale: The Lost Child: Chapter 403 Hey, you almost did!
"Xiao Xiang, what should we do? They're still chasing us."
"Don't run towards the city wall. Lure them away. The monster is chasing Meow Dream."
"Okay." Chu Hua paused, then asked, "How is Miao Mengzi?"
"I suggest you don't watch it," Xiangzi sighed.
The sight before me almost gave me trypophobia.
Miao Meng's entire right arm looked extremely horrifying. Starting from her fingertips, countless eyes were constantly emerging like bubbles from boiling water, densely packed on Miao Meng's arm. They were constantly being pushed off, then regenerated, pushed off again, and regenerated again, and were even spreading towards her torso.
Xiangzi looked at those eyes, and those eyes were also looking at Xiangzi.
too disgusting.
What on earth is going on... Never mind these eyes for now, let's purify the Soul Gem for Meow Dream first.
Xiangzi took out the Soul Gem, intending to purify Miaomeng.
"Xiangzi, no..." Miaomeng opened her eyes and said weakly, "...Don't purify yet."
Xiangzi looked up and saw Miaomeng's eyes. Her eye sockets, like her arms, were crammed full of eyes that seemed to be bulging out.
It no longer looks like a human.
"......what happened?"
"I was attacked by a great witch of at least Dangou level. I ran for my life, but ended up cornered," Miaomeng said. "In desperation, I couldn't even find a cell phone signal inside the barrier, but then I discovered that I could actually connect to the internet in Fairy Tale Town..."
There's no need to say more after that.
Fairy Tale Town dragged Meow Dream from the barrier of the Country Road into its own barrier, which was equivalent to saving Meow Dream's life in a roundabout way.
Miao Meng sighed.
"I never imagined that I would be saved by another witch one day. It's truly unbelievable."
Her voice became unusually bubbly, as if something was blocking her throat.
It couldn't be... those eyes, could it?
Xiangzi looked at Miaomeng with an incredulous expression.
"What are these eyes?"
“The Witch’s Kiss, it planted the Witch’s Kiss on me.” Miao Meng gasped for breath and continued in a grating, bubbly voice, “These eyes, they’re all its curse.”
No wonder.
No wonder there are so many monsters.
Xiangzi suddenly understood everything.
The appearance of the monsters was entirely due to Nekomu, or more accurately, due to the curse Nekomu carried, namely the Witch's Kiss.
This is something that doesn't belong to the barrier, and unlike magical girls like Xiangzi who consciously obey the arrangements and suppress their magical power in order not to attract the barrier's attention, the witch's kiss from other witches will not obey the arrangements of the fairytale town. Just like a virus entering the human body and stimulating the body's immune system, the fairytale town also triggered its own immune system—and so monsters appeared everywhere in order to eliminate the "virus" that is Meow Dream.
But......
"Why can't it be purified?" Xiangzi held Miaomeng's other hand, which was still relatively intact. "Your gems are almost full."
“It’s full… Super regeneration will slow down.” Meow Dream closed her eyes again. “The faster I regenerate, the faster the curse parasitizes my body… I don’t want to become a monster covered in eyes.”
At that moment, Meow Dream blocked the witch's first gaze with her own hand.
Then the first eye grew out of the back of the hand, but the body rejected it as a foreign object. Then two more eyes appeared.
At that moment, Miaomeng knew it was all over.
If an eye is knocked off, more eyes will grow back; the stronger the regenerative ability, the more eyes will grow on the body.
It's a miracle that after all that time, only one arm and one eye have become like that.
"Okay, I know how to save you." Xiangzi nodded. "How big is the area?"
The meaning of "Meow Dream" is very simple.
First, cut off the part where the eyes are, and then regenerate them.
"Roughly, from the head all the way to the right arm, cut off a larger portion to avoid any residue."
"Ah."
"You'd better be quick about it later, this thing is tormenting you too much."
"Row."
Xiangzi chanted a spell and summoned the screw gun into his hand.
"I'm going to be anesthetized."
"Hey, what kind of anesthesia do you have here? Just start—pfft!"
Miao Meng's words came to an abrupt end.
The threaded gun was plunged into her head, robbing her of consciousness.
The Soul Gem, though not fully charged, began to repair Miaomeng's damaged brain. But Xiangzi's hand was faster; she pulled out the threaded gun, pressed the sharp blade against Miaomeng's left shoulder, and then forcefully—
brush--!
Crimson blood splattered out, covering Xiangzi completely.
Following the cutting lines she had mentally drawn on Miaomeng's body, she slowly cut off the part of Miaomeng's right hand connected to her head, her face expressionless throughout the process, just like a psychopathic killer in a movie.
The sounds of flesh being slicing and slicing echoed on Chu Hua's shoulder, followed by the grinding of bones. Xiangzi's tools were substandard, making the task somewhat difficult, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Chu Hua resisted the urge to glance at them and ran towards the distance, playing in circles with the monsters.
This situation continued for a while until Xiangzi cut off Miaomeng's head and the arm covered in eyes, and, enduring the disgust, kicked the remains off Chuhua's shoulder.
The eye-covered remains fell into the horde of monsters. Almost instantly, all the monsters that had been chasing Chu Hua rushed toward the remains, and not a single one remained with them.
She took out her own Soul Gem, placed it against Meow Dream's Soul Gem, and purified all the impurities inside.
After the gem was purified, the remaining half of Miaomeng's body began to regenerate rapidly, and her brain was fully restored in no time.
Xiangzi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his new body no longer had those disgusting eyes.
After a while, Miaomeng opened her eyes.
She stared at the sky, lost in thought for a moment.
The rebooted brain is processing a massive amount of information.
After Miaomeng finishes processing.
"Wow, it's alive!"
That was the first thing she said.
The second sentence comes together with her first action.
Miaomeng hugged Xiangzi's leg, crying out with tears in her eyes.
"Xiang, I've had a terrible time without you!"
If the first two sentences were just venting, then the third sentence completely ruined Xiangzi's mood.
"The outside world is in chaos when you're not here. The typhoon made landfall more than ten hours early, and a whole bunch of witches appeared out of nowhere. The entire Reed Plain is overwhelmed!"
[Eighteen hours remain until Witch's Night launches.]
The Lost Tale: The Lost Child: Chapter 404 I Want Them All
The appearance of the cat was just a minor incident in the war.
The monster horde that appeared out of nowhere seemed to be nonexistent to the inhabitants of this world. They "couldn't see" these monsters that acted as white blood cells, and they paid no attention to them.
After the monsters dealt with the cursed limbs of the cat, they dispersed like the receding tide, and soon the plains returned to calm.
