Tide Mist and Frost Cage

“It just needs to be secured with a bandage. You’ll have to use a wheelchair for these few days. Random movements are not good for bone healing.”

Putting away the first aid kit from Sakura Cafe, which had been used for bandaging, Philly instructed Su Ran on the precautions.

This time, thanks to Yuan Shirui’s timely arrival, Su Ran’s injuries were not too severe, merely a fractured leg.

Su Ran glanced at the wheelchair Yuan Shirui had pushed over for her, a mix of emotions in her heart.

After all, it had only been a month or two since she had gotten out of a wheelchair, and now she had to go back to sitting in one for a period of time.

Su Ran turned to Winnie and asked, “Manager, can’t we use magic to speed up the healing of the wound?”

“This is the effect after using a healing scroll. A newly healed bone needs some time to grow strong.”

Winnie pointed at the torn magic scroll, wanting to give Su Ran a good knock on the head.

“You don’t want to break a bone so easily in the future, do you?”

Hearing this, Su Ran shook her little head like a rattle drum.

Seeing this, Winnie couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Manager.”

“You’re welcome. The cost of the healing scroll will be deducted from your salary.”

Hearing Winnie’s words, Su Ran almost slid off the wheelchair.

Fortunately, Yuan Shirui was quick to support her.

Su Ran decided not to continue on this topic.

“Speaking of which, do you know why the other party was able to set up a magic formation in the city without being discovered?”

She was now more concerned about the magic formation.

This time, she could hold on long enough for Yuan Shirui to arrive.

‘But what about next time? What if I step into a magic formation again?’

‘In comparison, I feel I still need to find out how the other party constructs magic formations. Getting ‘a gift from a god’ from their mouth is just treating it as their dream talk.’

“Do you remember the vampire corpse found in the processing plant last time?”

Mentioning the incident at the processing plant, Su Ran’s memory was still fresh.

‘Thinking about it carefully, a magic formation with the same effect also appeared last time. Could it be…’

Winnie gave Su Ran an affirmative look, acknowledging her thoughts.

“That’s right. We found another vampire corpse near the scene of this attack.”

This news from Winnie did not surprise Su Ran.

Since the second layer of the magic formation was too similar to the one she had seen in the processing plant, Su Ran had also considered connecting the two incidents.

“They use the corpses of vampires to construct a magic formation in an instant. The fluctuation is so minute that even the Jiangbei City police can’t detect it.”

Hearing that the other party was so cruel to their own kind, Su Ran frowned.

‘That person is using vampires as mere tools for setting up formations?’

‘The discovery of using vampire corpses to set up magic formations was made by Winnie and Yuan Shirui when they went to investigate previously.’

‘Not just Su Ran, even they, as vampires, were equally disgusted by this act.’

“Don’t worry, this method of setting up magic formations is too costly. There certainly won’t be many left.”

Seeing Su Ran’s frown, Winnie continued to comfort her.

“According to Yuan Shirui, who fought the opponent directly, and the situation Su Ran handled, the person who attacked this time is undoubtedly one of Hyde’s vampires. At most, he can only set it up twice more. Would the opponent really invest such a precious vampire into Su Ran?”

From the information obtained so far, Winnie had to cast a question mark on this.

“But to be on the safe side, you should stay with us during this period. It’s a good time for you to recover from your injuries.”

Winnie gave Su Ran, who was already in the wheelchair, a strange glance.

Even though she had regained the ability to walk freely, it seemed that for this period of time, she still couldn’t leave the wheelchair.

Su Ran had no objections to Winnie’s arrangement.

After all, she had a clear understanding of her own strength.

Her Sequence didn’t give her much of a chance to fight back against the opponent.

Her spirit couldn’t keep up with the opponent’s speed at all.

Moreover, Su Ran’s own methods were rather limited.

Besides a few spells, she didn’t seem to have mastered many other techniques.

Even Hoarfrost relied on her endless supply of magic essence to achieve a brute-force effect.

Su Ran turned her gaze to the Blood Cat exchange, to see if there were any useful spells that would be suitable for her.

“Manager, I still have one hundred Blood Cat points. I want to exchange them for some spells!”

Winnie pulled out a tablet from somewhere and placed it in front of Su Ran.

“Of course, no problem.”

Looking at the spells on the screen in front of her, Su Ran felt dazzled for the first time.

Of course, it would be great if the prices of these spells had a few fewer zeros at the end.

Basically, none of the spells on the exchange panel were less than five digits.

For this reason, Su Ran could only click on the “sort by price” button in the upper right corner of the tablet to filter out the spells she could afford.

“What’s this? Mist Tide Spell?”

Su Ran pointed at the only spell she could afford and asked curiously.

“There’s an introduction here.”

Yuan Shirui’s slender jade-like finger tapped on the screen.

After using the Mist Tide Spell, the surrounding water vapor would increase, effectively obstructing the enemy’s vision.

This spell was quite suitable for the current Su Ran.

It could obstruct vision, allowing her to fire magic essence bullets more calmly.

Moreover, the increased water vapor would also be affected by her frost, giving her more resources to mobilize on the field.

Relying solely on the moisture in the air and the frost transformed from magic essence was gradually making Su Ran feel that her strength was not enough.

‘Decided! I’ll take this one!’

Looking at the spell Su Ran was pointing at, Winnie didn’t immediately deduct the points to exchange it for her.

Instead, she patiently explained, “Don’t you want to consider it a bit more? The reason this spell is priced so cheaply is because it has a drawback.”

“Because some parts of this spell were lost during its interpretation, it has a flaw. It will be used automatically when the caster shivers, causing magic essence to be consumed uncontrollably.”

As the head of the Blood Hunter branch, Winnie knew the pros and cons of these inventories like the back of her hand.

A few casual pointers from her benefited Su Ran greatly.

“Come, take a look at this one.”

Winnie’s fingertip tapped lightly, changing the selection for Su Ran.

Frost Prison, with both restraining and weakening abilities, was also suitable for Su Ran when using a long rifle.

But similarly, the price of this kind of restrictive spell was very beautiful, requiring a full ten thousand points.

“Manager, I don’t have that many points.”

Su Ran looked at Winnie with her big, watery eyes, her face full of pity.

“Of course I know how many points you have. Since I’m showing you this spell, it means I’m buying it for you.”

Winnie reached out and rubbed Su Ran’s head.

Seeing Yuan Shirui’s envious look, she added, “Shirui, you can also pick one you like.”

“Yay! Long live the manager!”

After getting Frost Prison, Su Ran, after careful consideration, still decided to buy the Mist Tide Spell.

She had the Ring of Pride, so the issue of magic essence consumption was a small matter to her.

Seeing this, Winnie could only remind her, “If your magic essence is depleted, remember to drink more water.”

This incomprehensible sentence left Su Ran in a fog.
