But, just as they took a step forward, a cat suddenly darted out from the corner, almost pouncing on their feet. Ah Li was already tense and nervous; when the cat jumped out, she was startled and screamed.
The cat seemed shocked and raised its paw, scratching Ah Li's calf.
Three bloody scratches instantly appeared on Ah Li's calf.
It was clearly just a surface scratch, but Ah Li grimaced in pain.
Looking down, the scratched area had started to fester!
Ah Xia was stunned for a moment, stammering, "Ah Li, your leg... it's rotting..."
Ah Xia had already felt something was wrong before, while Ah Li was still stubbornly denying it. Now that such an outrageous thing happened, Ah Xia was more frightened than before.
Ah Li originally wanted to keep denying it, but looking down at her scratched area, not only was it festering, but the flesh was turning black. She instantly lost her composure.
