Releasing the one-star evolver who was gradually stopping convulsing, a slender yet powerful light gray hand brushed past the corner of her mouth, leaving a streak of crimson on it, a stark contrast of red and white.
Tilting her head, she gazed at a crooked, dust-covered billboard in front of her, her eyes, filled with red veins, revealing a hint of confusion.
These... seem to be called words?
But what words are they? How do you read them? Why do I feel like I recognize them? Yet I can't remember?
Red Hair stood up, kicked away the corpse at her feet, and walked slowly to the toppled billboard, gently wiping the dust away and staring at the beautiful advertising letters above, remaining silent for a long time.
"Meow!"
The sound of a cat came from not far behind her. Red Hair's ears twitched, and her hair, which was draped over her shoulders, began to move of its own accord.
Turning around, Red Hair saw the large black cat she despised, along with the annoying woman behind it, who was crossing her arms and looking at her.
Hmm, for some reason, Red Hair felt this was the right way to describe her.
"You... can't... escape."
The spirit woman, with her black hair swaying, spoke with a frequency that was quite high, but only managed to say a few words, looking as if she was still not quite used to this way of communication.
If Ye Zhongming were here, he would be shocked to the point of dropping his jaw. Who has ever seen a spirit woman that can talk at the third level?
Although many ninth-level mutated beings have learned human language, spirit women are among the ultra-intelligent beings that can speak dialects, of course, this refers to ninth-level spirit women.
But even these intelligent creatures wouldn’t be able to speak human words before reaching intermediate evolution.
It seems that the brain worms she had eaten greatly benefited the spirit woman.
On Red Hair's eternally unchanged face, a sneer appeared, clearly showing her disdain for this opponent.
"Meow!!"
The black cat's cry turned sharp and mournful, completely contrasting with the gentleness from before. The black cat's fur bristled, revealing its sharp fangs, arching its back, issuing a warning to Red Hair.
Red Hair responded with a snort.
This little cat seems to have healed from the injuries she inflicted earlier.
"Let me... eat you... for your... liberation." After a couple of "ah" sounds, the spirit woman finally managed to say this, her voice surprisingly crisp and pleasant.
"You... no longer have... a main body... can't evolve." The spirit woman started again, but this sentence was quite long, and it seemed she was unsure how to express herself, displaying a look of anxiety on her exquisite face.
"You... will surely... be killed... for my sake."
Red Hair frowned as she listened, unsure if she understood.
"Ah! Ah! Ah~~"
Red Hair opened her mouth, trying to mimic the spirit woman's clear syllables, but she couldn't produce the same clarity, causing both the spirit woman and her cat to tilt their heads in confusion, struggling to listen.
"You said... you... are... getting stronger?" The spirit woman paused for a moment, then said, "No... you won't."
Suddenly, anger surged onto Red Hair's charming face, her mouth opening to reveal neatly arranged white teeth still stained with the blood of that human.
She abruptly raised her hand, and a thorn suddenly shot out from her fingertip, growing longer and longer until it hung down to the ground, about three to four meters long.
It was as if Red Hair was showing off. She raised her other hand, and thorns sprouted from her index finger, wrapping around her feet.
With a shake of her arms, the two thorny branches seemed to come alive, twisting and turning on the ground like two flying serpents.
Red Hair wore a proud expression, tilting her chin, looking at the spirit woman and the black cat.
Staring at her opponent, whom she had been entangled with for many days, the spirit woman shook her head slightly, "You..."
Before she could finish, her expression changed dramatically, and she jumped back with her black cat!
