The Little Kitten Could Even Heal?

"It's true. Kitty never lies. Get away from there, quickly!" Qin Yue urged again, worried that something might go wrong.

"I'll have the eagle investigate." Blackie remained doubtful and prepared to send the eagle to look into it.

But just after she said that—

A huge porcupine suddenly burst out from behind a large tree, its eyes blazing red as it charged at the crowd.

"Damn it! It really is a porcupine! Run!" the fat team leader shouted, giving the order without hesitation.

Everyone realized the danger as well and hurriedly fled with their respective summoned beasts, unwilling to encounter the porcupine.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of sharp porcupine quills suddenly shot into the air, falling from the sky like a curtain of rain and blanketing everyone present.

Those porcupine quills flew as fast as arrows, making everyone's faces change. Some were so frightened that they collapsed straight to the ground.

"Defend!"

Someone hurriedly ordered his summoned beast into a defensive stance, but he could only protect himself and could not save the others.

Just as everyone was about to face danger, Big Black Bear came roaring out, a rocky earthen shield glowing around its body as it stood before the porcupine quills.

Bang bang bang!

Dull impacts rang out as countless porcupine quills struck Big Black Bear's defensive shield and were blocked, saving everyone.

However, several quills were too fast and flew toward the crowd, including one aimed at Qin Yue.

"Watch out!"

Song Xiaomei's face drained of color. She immediately ordered Big Black Bear to save Qin Yue, but it was too late. Big Black Bear could no longer make it in time.

At that moment—

The little kitten curled up in Qin Yue's arms suddenly leaped into the air, azure wings appearing behind its back.

Then, the little kitten rapidly swung its claws. Afterimages flashed one after another, and those porcupine quills were sent flying amid the blur.

The sight sent a shock through everyone present, and the way they looked at the little kitten changed completely.

Those porcupine quills were so fast that, aside from a Black Iron-ranked summoned beast, none of the summoned beasts present could have stopped them.

Yet that little kitten, which had been sleeping all this time, had actually done it. It had batted away three porcupine quills in succession. It was simply unimaginable.

But no one had time to think, because another wave of porcupine quills came flying over. This time, their target was clearly Song Xiaomei.

It was because her summoned beast had blocked the porcupine quills, causing the porcupine to regard her as its target.

In its fury, the porcupine released all of its quills at once, turning itself into a quill-less lump of meat.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sound of air splitting rang out as densely packed porcupine quills rained from the sky, flying toward Song Xiaomei like a curtain of rain.

At the critical moment—

Big Black Bear once again displayed the might of a Black Iron summoned beast, using its towering body to block those porcupine quills.

However, Big Black Bear had just been ordered to save Qin Yue and was some distance away from Song Xiaomei.

By the time Big Black Bear rushed back, it was still more than ten centimeters away from Song Xiaomei—and those ten centimeters became the key to claiming her life.

Five porcupine quills slipped through and shot straight toward Song Xiaomei's body.

"Watch out!"

Qin Yue cried out, and strange patterns inexplicably surfaced on the birthmark on her left cheek.

"Hm?"

Li Xuan suddenly felt the soul power fed back from Qin Yue surge explosively. The soul power that had once been like a stream instantly rushed forth like rivers and seas.

In that instant, Li Xuan's soul received immense nourishment and strengthening, and his power rose dramatically.

[ Ding! Your soul has received unknown nourishment and advanced to a Black Iron-grade soul. ]

With the mechanical notification, terrifying soul power surged from within Li Xuan. His body abruptly shot forward, streaking across the sky like a startled swan.

Clang clang clang!

Crisp sounds rang out. Along with them, the five porcupine quills aimed at Song Xiaomei were batted away by Li Xuan, saving her life.

After doing all that, Li Xuan abruptly turned to look at Qin Yue. When he saw the strange patterns on her left cheek, his eyes narrowed.

However, once Song Xiaomei's crisis had passed, the patterns on Qin Yue's face quickly disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all.

What exactly is that birthmark? It evolved my soul into the Black Iron grade in an instant. It's truly unimaginable.

Li Xuan was filled with uncertainty. Under God's-Eye View, the seven-colored radiance around Qin Yue's body became even more dazzling and resplendent.

Roar!

An enraged roar echoed through the area. Big Black Bear rushed up to Song Xiaomei with a roar, pacing back and forth anxiously before her.

A porcupine quill had pierced through Song Xiaomei's snow-white thigh, and blood flowed without stopping.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically at the sight. Qin Yue ran to Song Xiaomei's side with tears streaming down her face.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, are you okay? Don't scare me."

Seeing Song Xiaomei's endlessly bleeding wound, Qin Xue anxiously pressed her little hands over it, but she still could not stop the bleeding.

The porcupine quill was hollow, and blood flowed straight out through it. There was simply no way to stop the bleeding.

"We're done for. We don't have a healing-type summoner, so there's no way to treat her. We can only hurry and take her back to the city, and pray she doesn't bleed to death before then!"

The fat team leader spoke anxiously. He had considered finding a healing-type summoner before, but healing types were relatively scarce, and he had failed to find one.

Now that they had encountered such a dangerous situation, he could only pray that they could return to the city sooner.

"My woolly mammoth carries people steadily. Let Song Xiaomei stay on my woolly mammoth," a summoner hurriedly said.

"A woolly mammoth is too slow. By the time we reach the city, Song Xiaomei will definitely be done for. First, bandage her. I have bandages and hemostatic medicine here.

"However, we have to remove the porcupine quill before bandaging her. But if the quill hit an artery, the hemostatic medicine will be useless."

As Blackie spoke, she took out bandages and hemostatic medicine, but she did not dare act. She felt that the porcupine quill had struck an artery.

"Don't pull out the porcupine quill. It really did hit an artery. The moment you pull it out, it's over," someone hurriedly warned.

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

"I..."

Everyone looked at one another and fell silent.

Faced with such a problem, they were all at their wits' end.

When Qin Yue saw that everyone was helpless, her tears fell even faster, fluttering down in a pitiful stream.

Meow~

Li Xuan came to Song Xiaomei's side, looked at the porcupine quill, then raised his little paw.

"What are you doing?"

Blackie had originally wanted to tie both sides of the wound to slow the bleeding, but when she saw the little kitten touching the porcupine quill, she immediately cried out.

"Kitty, what's wrong?"

Qin Yue knew how intelligent her summoned beast was and felt that the little kitten would not do something pointless.

Whoosh!

The cat's paw flashed, and the porcupine quill was instantly pulled out. Bright-red blood spurted forth, dyeing the snow-white thigh red.

Without question, the wound was on an artery. Hemostatic medicine was completely useless.

Seeing the spraying blood, everyone inwardly cried that things were bad. They all turned furious gazes toward the little kitten, and some could not help but flare up.

"Control your cat! Are you trying to kill her?" Blackie flew into a rage and directly shouted at Qin Yue.

But just as she finished speaking, a warm sensation rippled through the air, and flickering light flashed continuously.

Blackie lowered her head and her eyes abruptly widened as she stared at the little kitten's paw in horror.

That furry little paw was glowing with white light. An aura of healing began to ripple outward, spreading in all directions.

That sight left Blackie completely frozen, motionless as if she had turned into a fool.

The surrounding summoners were stunned as well, staring at the little kitten in disbelief.

They had never imagined that this little kitten actually possessed healing abilities. It was simply like a dream.

"Healing Arts? This little kitten actually knows Healing Arts? How is that possible? Isn't it a Wind-Wing Cat?" the fat team leader muttered blankly, his mind completely muddled.

Qin Yue and Song Xiaomei were stunned as well. They had spent the most time with the little kitten, yet even they had not known it possessed such an ability.

Thus, everyone fell into a daze, staring foolishly at the little kitten.
