Chapter 536 (1/2)

”Annie, I'er We're alravel Each step they took would cause a drilling pain in their feet Iffy really wanted to stop but Annie was strongly pulling her forward and tightly clutching her hand Annie did not even slightly slon her pace no h the brambles and thorns or the ice cold stream From behind, she looked as determined as a ain

She felt as if her soles were on fire, her entire body was in unceasing pain, and her chest was feeling compressed no

Annie softly sighed and leaned forward to listen to the ground, and she pointed at a raised stone not far away and said, ”Let's take a rest over there”

The very last trace of strength rose from the bottom of Iffy's heart once she heard that it was time to take a rest She clenched her teeth and quickly walked to the giant rock and collapsed there; she even wished to stay there for eternity at that moment

Annie did not instantly sit down She surrounded both sides of the rock with the broken branches that she found nearby for cae It felt like a cozy nest with both of the branches and the natural ceiling-like tilted rock Unfortunately, they were still on an uneven, rocky ground that hurt their butts and the sh for both of them to lie down

”The church won't find us since we've run this far”

”Don't let your guard down, and it's still not far enough from them”

Annie was as alert as a wildcat, alith her ears up, listening and her than the wildcat She was accustoement Army, Annie wasassociation really exist?”

They were two of the five witches ere searching for the Bloodfang association After leaving Graystone Stronghold, they had been intercepted by the church, so they had decided to act separately Iffy had been walking towards the east for three days and nights before bu into Annie while the others were totally out of contact

”Of course,” Annie said while rubbing her toes ”I heard that they're on the Wolf Tooth Island across the sea”

”But, how could we cross the sea?”

”Just walk towards the shore and look for a boat” Annie comforted ”Don't worry, just leave it to me”

”Okay,” Iffy softly answered

Annie took a piece of dried pork skin out of the baggage and held it in her hands So out of it while it beca hot and soft as the cloud ”Let's eat first, we'll continue the journey after eating,” Annie said

That was Annie's ability, whose palms could set the branches and sticks on fire and cook the food as well Iffy devoured the skin like a wolf and then drooled over the skin in Annie's hand Annie smiled and threw half of hers to Iffy and said, ”You eat ry yet”

It was ti the other half of the skin and licking each of her fingers

Iffy was struggling to get back on her feet, but before she could get out of the cave, the branches around it suddenly started to tre ht and fast-paced tre in their direction

Annie's eyes instantly widened in fear and said, ”Horses! They're approaching on horses! Run!”

Iffy felt as if she was being pulled up and started to run subconsciously The drilling pain below her feet returned As her body did not really recover, it was very difficult for her to even stand, not to

She turned around and sawhorses appeared at the end of the rocky beach Their speed was not too fast whichthe hoofs of their h to catch both of theht that they could not escape

Or rather, she could not escape

Iffy wrenched her hand away froo first”
