The massive Beast growled as Lize let out a vicious eagle shriek, and the five rings around her glowed like beas of light.Tang Yin looked it right into the eyes, jumping ba her feet; something faint fshed through its eyes as if it had realized something.
"Arwooooooooooo!"
It howled again and jumped to its ed rade; grabbing the s, it threw them aside, and before anyone had time to react to its move, both the Beast and the younger wolf vanished into the dense jungle.
"Hell Wolves, lightning hell Wolves." The Grandmaster whispered, "They never move this far from the forest's core." the sheer stupor in his voice was audible.
Tang Yin looked where the wolf leader had vanished and gulped, questioning herself. Were they lucky this time, and had she imagihe fsh nition, or had it actively decided to leave them be, to not attack?
Spirit Beasts developed, with suffit age, the same intelligence as humans did; She could be wrong about their age. But, oher hand, they had been just a hair's breadth away from death; she should not overthink something that may have been an illusion.
"Sis, how are you feeling?" Tang San asked o her, and she tilted her head.
"Fine, a little beat up. Why?"
"Your hand it's still glowing, and I don't think it's a good sign," Yule said, and Tang Yin finally noticed her hand glowing brightly silver.
"Crap." she cursed and tried to move her fingers, but nothing, "That 't be good. My hand, it's numb, and I 't move it." Then, finally, tang Yin said, sounding awkward, " someone help me put my bde back?" Grandmaster and Tang San shot each other worried gnces.
"Sister, I take a look?" Tang San asked, and she nodded. So he could, she had an awful feeling about this, and help was very much appreciated because her hand did not feel like it would be ba a any time soon.
He slowly removed her fingers from the hilt and took off her iron-scaled leather guards and then the bck glove, taking in a sharp breath as he saw the first cracks at the elbow.
Hastily he removed the glove and frowoug her arm worried. Tang Yin could not see how bad it was; Tang San's head blocked her view.
"Sis." he raised his head, and Tang Yin had a full view of the extent of the damage. Pieces of her skin had broken away, and the formerly fine lines were spread like a spider on her arm. She tried to move it, but her haed incredibly slowly."This is bad.", she whispered, "real bad."
"Beyond bad.", the Grandmaster whispered and reached out to touch her hand.
"Don't!" she growled, "I don't like others than Tang San toug my right hand."
The Grandmaster stopped.
"Alright, I have an Idea, but if it is a gamble.", He said, and Tang San looked at him with uncealed anguish, "how?"
"We get her a first spirit ring that pushes her power to level 20 above and immediately a sed oo ba out."
"Grandmaster, why does that sound close to suicidal?" Tang Yin asked skeptically.
"Because it is." The Grandmaster answered, "It is a theory I started w on after seeing your dition. It may ruin you, or it may turn into a blessing."
"S-so will s-she s-survive?" Ning Feng asked, gng worriedly at Tang Yin, whed her shoulders without much care.
"Right now, Ning Feng, I am alive and kig," she smiled at her," don't know if it's gonna wrandmaster, let's give it a shot. The alternatives look pretty bleak."
"The alternatives are bleak." Yu Hua noticed dryly, "o see one of the few peasants imbued with a w intelligence die without trying.", Yu Hua growled.
"Well, whatever crazy is going in with your hand." Lize said and poi the sky, "Night camp is more important."
"Then, could I have some homemade watery gee for dinner because I am craving it right now, as if it was Belgian chocote?" Tang Yin asked the others.
From her peripheral vision, she saw something light green and brilliant move, a rustle in the leaves, but as she turowards it, there was nothing. Another Imagination.
"Everything okay?" Yule asked, and she shook her head.
"Yeah, I just thought I had seen something move, but it must have been the wind.", still the feeling of being observed did not leave her.
