Chapter 55: Witchcraft Sacrifice (XXIV)

Qi Leren once again returned to the temple and walked up the stone steps. Suddenly, he discovered that the Ellie sisters who had been in the temple had disappeared.

“Ellie, Aisha? Are you there? ” Qi Leren gave a strange call, and his reply echoed in the empty hall, but no one responded.

The air was filled with a faint coldness, and the chill and uneasiness were intertwined, catalyzing fear.

Qi Leren walked forward and came to the front of the stone wall, where there were two more tips, which meant that another witch had been killed.

[We were just like you, and you will be just like us.]

[They chased me and killed me here. Now I’m going to chase them and kill them here.]

Qi Leren read out the tips after the death of the last witch and chewed them carefully.

Is this a simple curse? It should be more than that.

Rapid footsteps came from outside the temple. Qi Leren turned nervously to look at the door. A big black bird flew in first and landed on his shoulder. Ning Zhou and Isabel appeared at the door. When she saw Qi Leren, Ning Zhou’s cold eyes softened slightly, and she seemed relieved.

“Are you all right?” Qi Leren hurriedly walked forward, and when he got close, he found that Ning Zhou’s arm was wrapped in bandages, and dark red blood was faintly visible on it. “Are you injured?”

Isabel said nervously, “It was that woman… The woman who brought me to the temple at that time.”

“Xie Wanwan?” Qi Leren asked.

Isabel nodded her head, with fear on her face. “Ning Zhou fought with her. She was so strong and fast that she almost killed me. Then Ning Zhou shouted to get down. I… I got down. I was almost cut by her knife. It was terrible! Fortunately, we had just met a witch, and the witch chased her, and we finally escaped.”

As she spoke, she covered her forehead and whispered in pain: “My head hurts. I seem to remember something, but I don’t know,”

“Don’t think about it, don’t worry.” Qi Leren calmed down and looked at Ning Zhou again.

Ning Zhou shook her head gently, as if to say don’t worry.

Even the goddess suffered a loss. Is this Xie Wanwan so powerful? Qi Leren recalled Xie Wanwan, whom he saw when he was in the swamp tower. She could control insects and plants, but it seemed that she is far inferior to Ye Xia in close combat, let alone Ning Zhou, who was very skillful. Isabel said that she was also strong and fast?

“Where are Ellie and Aisha?” Isabel asked softly.

Qi Leren shook his head. “I went out just now, and when I came back, I found that they were gone. Besides that, Ye Xia is dead. The murderer is probably Xie Wanwan.”

Qi Leren shared what he’d seen and heard after leaving the dreamworld, and whispered, “It seems that we need to tell Lu Youxin to be careful. There are also Ellie and Aisha, I don’t know if they’re alright. ”

“Bloody words! The bloody words appeared again!” Isabel pointed to the rock wall and exclaimed.

Looking back, Qi Leren found another clue and a hint.

[Kill each other in anger and fear, and you will gain strength.]

“I see…” When he saw the prompt, Qi Leren suddenly realized. If killing other witches could grant strength, this could explain why Xie Wanwan suddenly increased her strength and why she attacked Isabel and Ning Zhou. She should have discovered this after killing Ye Xia, but if so…

“Oh, Ellie, Aisha, and Lu Youxin are in danger!” Qi Leren was urgent.

“Are you going to find them?” Isabel asked anxiously.

“Wait first, don’t be impulsive, let me think.” Qi Leren paced around on his hand on his forehead, sorting out all the clues, and finally stood in front of the rock wall without knowing it.

[They guard the underground palace, meticulous, I will give them life, let them walk freely.]

Is this the next witch’s clue? Now there were only two witches left. If they could solve the witch as soon as possible and complete the task directly then return to the Village of Dusk, maybe they wouldn’t have to confront Xie Wanwan head-on?

“What we have to do now is two things. One is to find the remaining people who are still alive, otherwise Xie Wanwan will continue to kill, so that her strength will also increase. If so, I’m afraid we can’t cope with her; Second, take the time to solve the remaining two witches, complete the sacrifice according to the clues given on the wall, and finish the quest directly. These two things do not conflict and can be carried out together. In short, we have to be faster than Xie Wanwan, and there’s not much time left for us,” Qi Leren said, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two hints appear on the wall.

So fast, the witches were being destroyed faster and faster. Was this one by Xie Wanwan or Lu Youxin?

[One of you has betrayed.]

Qi Leren smiled silently. This hint came too late.

Suddenly there was only the last witch left. He looked at the clue of the last witch: [Crawl like a gecko with a broken tail, crawl, smell the living, eat the dead, crawl, crawl.]

The clue of bloody words was filled with sticky nausea. Qi Leren frowned and looked at all the hints and clues again, suggesting that all the seven clues of the witch have appeared, and the task clue for destroying the witch was still one short, which couldn’t be known until this witch was destroyed. According to common sense, this last tip was likely the key.

The big blackbird grumbled and cleared its throat, and returned to Ning Zhou, who touched its head and nodded.

“Your injury…” Qi Leren still couldn’t help worrying about Ning Zhou’s injury. Ning Zhou climbed the steps he stood atop and looked down at him.

The distance was too close, and the gleaming eyes reflected himself. In the middle of the confusion, Ning Zhou pulled up his hand and wrote, “It doesn’t matter. She wasn’t trying to kill me.”

Qi Leren looked at her in astonishment. Xie Wanwan wasn’t trying to kill Ning Zhou? So what exactly does she want to do?

"Then let’s go.” Qi Leren hesitated, and equipped the S/L skill, primary combat and the skill of Rain-Day Laundry which had finished cooling, so he would have to use an ordinary dagger.

Isabel covered her forehead with pain: “My head still hurts.”

“Do you remember anything?” Qi Leren asked.

Isabel shook her head. “I still can’t remember.”

Qi Leren didn’t know what conditions she needed to meet to restore her memory, so they had to shelve this problem first.

Three people once again left the empty hall. The air was still filled with a stale taste. Far away from the hall, the statues of half man and half beast that were originally displayed on both sides of the corridor had been destroyed and fellan to the ground. It seemed that a fierce battle happened. When Qi Leren thought back, the last witch’s tip was “They are guarding the underground palace and being meticulous without an error, I will give them life and let them walk freely,” which should mean that she could revive these statues.

Was Lu Youxin or Xie Wanwan the one who killed the witch?

Qi Leren stopped and looked around, and soon found that there were burnt marks on the surrounding walls and ground. It seemed that Lu Youxin did it?

“It should be Lu Youxin, I hope she’s alright,” Qi Leren said to Ning Zhou, relieved.

Ning Zhou looked at the broken statues all over the ground, even picking up a piece of debris in her hand, and then shook her head at Qi Leren.

“Not Lu Youxin? Was that Xie Wanwan then? But there are no plants here,” Qi Leren murmured.

After Ning Zhou’s words, Qi Leren also noticed that many incisions of these scattered statues were very neat, not like being broken, but like being cut off by sharp instruments. He really hadn’t seen Lu Youxin use weapons, but he had seen her come back unarmed but covered in blood in the temple. She didn’t seem like a person who was used to using weapons.

But Xie Wanwan, it seemed, was not used to using cold steel. He had seen Xie Wanwan fight with Ye Xia. At that time, she didn’t use weapons all the way. Later, he saw with his own eyes that Ye Xia’s body had no wounds caused by weapons, and that the fatal injury was caused by branches running through the abdominal cavity.

However, this is not necessarily true. If the person pretending to be Ye Xia in the dreamworld was really her, then she should also be a master of using a knife.

“Maybe it really is Xie Wanwan, be careful, she might not have gone far,” Qi Leren solemnly said.

“Ga-” Ning Zhou’s black bird suddenly gave a strange cry and pecked Ning Zhou’s ear with its beak. “There, the smell of blood.”

Three people immediately headed for the front. After a corner, the dark corridor in front was lit by candlelight. The long black hair was soaked in the blood like winding aquatic plants, and the lifeless body lay quietly on the ground. She was no longer a living person, but a dead thing, a puzzle that came to an abrupt end.

Qi Leren gawked at the distant corpse, and his mind went blank.

It wasn’t until Ning Zhou had passed by that he came to his senses, and his wandering soul murmured, “Xie Wanwan? Is she dead?”
