Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 312 One Minute
Ke Lun shook his head and asked in surprise, "Why is it a jellyfish again?"

Xia Ye didn't know either. She looked to the south. Even from this position, she could still clearly see the giant jellyfish that reached the sky. And now, the Strike Witches found another one in the Silk Curtain.

No matter how she thought about it, it didn't sound like a good thing. She tried to talk to her teammates, but found that she still couldn't send messages. After hesitating for a moment, she began to delete all the terms related to network communication in the "communication debt", and only retained the point-to-point call function.

Perhaps the "magic dynamics" that Colen mentioned played a role again. After narrowing the communication range to a single person, the power of the contract finally penetrated the barrier of the "silk curtain".

"Can you listen to me?"

After repeating it several times, there was a reply from the other side. Fortunately, the person who answered the call was Saniya, the acting captain.

……

……

Trouble...

Saniya thought to herself. Above, countless moth beasts were pouring out of the clouds. They did not spread to a larger area, but surrounded the upside-down jellyfish, like a group of bees protecting a hive.

Without the guidance of Xia Ye, the Lightning Spear had to be within a few hundred meters of the enemy before it could be used, and the flying speed of the Strike Witches was not very fast when not charged. This meant that after completing the attack, Feng would most likely be surrounded by the moth beasts that suddenly appeared and trapped near the jellyfish before she could evacuate.

If we consider the worst possibility, Feng might have been torn to pieces by the swarming moth beasts, but this is not a reason to give up on her. As long as there is even a slight possibility, Saniya will do her best to rescue her. Because - as she said to Feng - she is the captain, she can't just sit there and watch her teammates die. Even if she has to make sacrifices for the whole team, she should do it first.

Two WS-1 thrusters pushed her to climb higher and higher. The distance between her and the enemy was shortening. The originally densely packed dots gradually revealed hideous outlines. The appearance of these moth beasts was basically the same as those encountered before, but they were a little larger in size.

They obviously didn't come from the "whale breath", so... did they invade from outside the dome? Or were they summoned here directly by that strange jellyfish? But Saniya didn't have time to think about this question, and could only focus on finding Feng.

Just like the cat witches can sense the location of the shoggoths, there is a similar induction between cat witches, perhaps because all the shoggoths come from the same individual. However, compared to the induction of shoggoths, the induction between cat witches is much weaker.

After making sure that it would take some time before they would meet the enemy, Saniya simply closed her eyes and tried her best to block out any external interference from her consciousness. After about ten seconds, she finally vaguely sensed Feng's location.

She immediately adjusted her direction, ignoring the countless moth beasts blocking her way, and rushed straight towards Feng's direction.

Three kilometers, two kilometers, one kilometer... In the blink of an eye, the enemy was within reach. Unsurprisingly, she attracted their attention, and hundreds of moth beasts immediately pounced on her.

At this moment, I felt a tingling sensation of electricity flowing through my lower back. Almost at the same time, the voice of Master Xia Ye rang in my ears:

"'Thunder Feather' has been transmitted. Just like the last one, it will cost 100 moles each time it is deployed. I will pay you the required moles with interest. Please pay attention to receive them."

"Yes, Master Xiaye."

The "Thunder Feather" of Xia Ye was not free, and she had to pay 100 moles of magic power each time it was deployed. This price was obviously too high for Saniya, so in order to prevent her from not being able to pay the rental fee of the "Thunder Feather", Xia Ye paid the interest through "communication debt" to provide her with the required moles.

If Saniya opens the "Communication Bond" now, she will see an absurdly high number in the "Coupon Rate" item of the terms.

——So, why not reduce the rental fee of "Thunder Feather" to 0, so that there is no need to go through the trouble of transferring Mor back and forth?

When I get back, I will find a chance to ask Lord Xia Ye.

She recited the witch's text "Wings of Thunder", and the red thunder wings suddenly spread out behind her. The speed suddenly increased, and the girl passed through the gaps between the moth beasts that were rushing towards her. The enemy's arm blade was less than half a meter away at the closest, but the relative speed of the two sides was too fast, and the enemy had no time to form an effective interception. She staggered with groups of enemies until she could no longer dodge, and then "detonated" the wings behind her.

The Thunder Wings bloomed instantly, and 495 lightning bolts shot out in all directions, indiscriminately destroying every moth beast they encountered. Saniya turned into a huge spherical firework. When the crimson light went out, a huge hole appeared in the dense group of moth beasts. Before the enemy filled the hole, the lightning had gathered in front of her again and returned to the shape of feathers. Saniya grabbed the Thunder Feather and crushed it again. The Thunder Wings unfolded again. The crimson electric light took her out of the encirclement of the moth beasts temporarily and continued to fly in the direction of Feng. Until she encountered an interception that was difficult to avoid again, she let her wings bloom again.

After repeating this several times, Saniya finally saw Feng's figure in front of her. The girl was dragging a trail of black smoke and falling down at a nearly vertical angle. Strangely, the surrounding moth beasts all ignored her, as if she was a dead person... No, even if it was a corpse, the moth beasts liked to destroy it.

Thinking of this, Saniya once again spread out the Thunder Feather and rushed over at an accelerated speed. The distance of hundreds of meters was reached in an instant, but the moment she caught Feng, the flying state of the Thunder Feather suddenly stopped automatically, and the wings exploded instantly, turning into countless lightning flashes, sweeping away the enemies around.

Saniya was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bad guess came to her mind. But when she set her eyes on Feng, the idea that had just come to her mind was immediately put aside.

The black corrosion almost occupied all the visible skin. The girl's eyes were closed and she seemed to have lost consciousness. The thruster on one of her legs was damaged, and the black smoke seen earlier was coming out of it. With the "synchronous enhancement" turned on, the damage to the mechanical structure meant that the power of the contract was almost gone.

Fortunately, the blooming Thunder Feather temporarily cleared the surrounding enemies. Saniya opened the buckle and removed the two thrusters on Feng's legs one by one and threw them away. As she expected, her legs had also been eroded. She tore open Feng's shirt and found that only a small area between the chest and abdomen still retained the original skin color, which was where the cup was.

Maybe it was because Feng was about to be completely corrupted that the moth beast didn't hurt her? If she was completely corrupted, what would she become? A moth beast?
In an instant, Saniya had all sorts of guesses in her mind, but her hands did not stop moving. She took off her "Thunder Feather" and pressed it on Feng's lower back. Lightning flashed, and the surrounding erosion suddenly dissipated.

But this can only slow down the speed of erosion, and she still needs to be sent back as soon as possible.

"Lord Xia Ye, can one 'Thunder Feather' carry two people flying at the same time?" Saniya asked.

After a moment, the reply came: "...No."

As expected, Saniya thought. Without hesitation, she threw Feng's body out. The moment she left her, red wings of light spread out from behind Feng and quickly left with the girl.

"Lord Xia Ye, 'Thunder Feather' has returned with Feng. She has been severely corroded and needs treatment as soon as possible." Saniya reported.

"Got it. The next 'Thunder Feather' has already started transmitting and will take about two minutes."

"I understand." Saniya answered simply.

But the other side seemed to have noticed something: "How is the situation over there? Can you hold on for another two minutes?"

Salia looked around and saw dense swarms of moth beasts circling and slowly shrinking their encirclement. They had gradually realized that the girl would no longer emit such dense lightning.

"Lord Xia Ye, there is no need to transmit the 'Thunder Feather' anymore." After hesitating for a moment, she told the truth, "Tell Captain Nana for me: I'm sorry for not fulfilling my duties as acting captain, but fortunately most of my teammates have returned alive..."

"You've done a great job."

Xia Ye interrupted, "Hold on for at least one more minute. I have entered the Silk Curtain and will be at your location in one minute."

"..."

"Do you understand? Answer me."

"Understood, Master Xia Ye."

As Saniya answered, she slowly pulled out the only remaining lightning spear from her chest.
