Chapter 0283: Contract and Death

After swallowing three or four bottles of antidote in one go, Grim was able to eliminate the toxicity in his body.

Originally, he had an elemental body, and he was no longer afraid of poison, so he could only hold his breath and no longer dare to inhale a trace of air in the room.

But the complete opposite of Grim is that Alice stands on tiptoe and desperately sniffs this "wonderful smell", looking like a gluttonous foodie meets top food. If it weren't for Grim pulling her hard, I'm afraid Alice wouldn't be able to resist running to the crucible to feast!

Grim gave a quick look around.

The whole house was full of black iron hooks hanging from the roof, and under the iron hooks hung bottles and cans of different colors and sizes. Each one was filled with a dim, cloudy liquid soaked in strangely shaped monster eyes.

The monsters' eyes range from large to small, flat to round, and some of them have long stalks dragging behind them, swimming around in the container......

And in this huge green bottle that shook gently in front of Grim's eyes, it was soaked in a giant eyeball. The reason why it is said to be a giant's eyeball is because this eyeball alone occupies almost all the space of a green bottle with a height of 1 meter and a diameter of half a meter.

Even when Grim came closer to take a closer look, the huge eyeball blinked weirdly!

"Drop, find a high-energy monster organ...... The preliminary estimate is Tier 2!"

"Can you identify the eyeballs of any creature?" Grim and Chip exchanged silently.

"Drop, after data query and matching, is estimated to be: Cyclops 63%...... Beholdeye 21%...... Evil Giant 4%...... The rest of the matching probabilities are less than 1%, do you show all the subjects?"

"No need!"

The Cyclops is a terrifying giant that combines both physical and earth-based powers. Compared to the hill giants that Grim and the others encountered in the Black Forest last time, the cyclops may be inferior in strength and size, but it has an eerie petrification power.

Therefore, it is also an extremely powerful second-order monster!

Grim's gaze continued to wander until he finally saw a cluttered wooden table in another corner. It was littered with overturned ink bottles, charred scrolls, unrolled volumes, and crooked piles of books that were stacked on the roof......

And on this wooden table, which was no different from the pile of debris, lay a strange witch with a rickety figure and unkempt hair like a chicken's nest. She was not tall, perhaps even half a head lower than Alice, and she had to stand on a tall wooden stool to peek out from behind the table.

She appears to be wearing a black wizard's robe.

But Grim isn't so sure!

Because the crumpled wizard's robe was so filthy and filthy, covered in greasy, ink, and potions of unknown origin. The thick gray stains had completely obscured the original color of the wizard's robes, and only a trace of witchcraft runes outlined by delicate and smooth gold threads was revealed somewhere in the corner.

At the first glance, Grim suspected that the Liana witch should belong to the branch of the Death Witch. Because here, he sees too much to do with death. However, Alice, who had been holding his hand, used the telepathic connection to covertly tell him that this Liana was a desperate witch, and that the field she was involved in was hope and recovery.

Well, although it is a somewhat subversive cognition, Grim can only silently choose to accept it!

You're not the first daredevil, but you're the first to set foot here alive. If there is no reason to satisfy me, ...... old witch's wrinkled old face smiled gloomily, revealing her mutilated scorched teeth. But what terrified Grim even more was her almost frozen dead fish eyes.

"Dear Lord Liana, I'm here to buy a jar of Necronomial Water. It is said that the entire city in the sky can only be bought in your mushroom hut, so I can only take the liberty of coming!" In front of a mad witch who is far stronger than himself, Grim can only tell the truth, otherwise the devil knows if these old fellows have some disgusting sorcery to verify the truth of their words.

"Dead soul water used to protect the soul from being harmed by foreign objects?" the old witch glared at the dead fish eyes and asked coldly, "It seems that you have investigated very clearly before coming. So what are you going to trade for Necro Water?"

"A top-grade Nighteye Stone, a twig of the Tree of Life, and a hundred grams of star sand from the Void World!" Grim didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately took out all the exchange items that had been prepared in advance. These things, of course, are not from his collection, but from the Byron family.

In terms of face value alone, the Necro Water belongs to the category of second-level strange objects, and the market price should be within 7,000 magic crystals. And the three items that Grim took out were all worth more than 3,000 magic crystals, which was more than enough in exchange for Necronomic Water.

However, the only one who made the entire Sky City be able to refine the Soul Water was Lord Liana in front of him, so whether the transaction could be smooth or not still depends on the mood of the other party. Therefore, after taking out three crystal boxes from his waist bag and placing them on the wooden table, Grim waited with bated breath for the other party's answer.

"The price is fair!, but ......" An eerie smile suddenly appeared on the old witch's face: "I'm in a bad mood today, so I choose to reject the deal you proposed!"

“……”

Grim was speechless.

However, in the face of a terrifying second-order witch, he didn't have the courage to argue with the other party.

"Hey, old woman, don't go too far!" Alice couldn't help but interject dissatisfiedly, "The few things we took out are worth far more than your Dead Soul Water." What's your reason not to sell?"

Grim's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Alice behind him.

"Adult, the child is young and ignorant, please don't blame her!"

"What are you afraid of?" Alice was still stiff behind him, "She's a witch, and I'm a witch candidate, so with this identity, she can't kill me!"

"Truly...... Interesting, very interesting......" The old witch sneered again: "It's the first time in so many years that anyone dares to be so arrogant in front of me. Young man, I'll make an exception and give you a chance, as long as you transfer this little guy's witchcraft contract to me, I'll give you a jar of necromancer water. How's that, it's good enough, isn't it?"

Alice, who was hiding behind Grim, trembled slightly, grabbed his arm tightly and didn't dare to speak again.

Grim smiled and slowly began to retreat: "Lord Liana, this Alice is just a companion who accompanies me on my travels, we ......"

Before he could finish, the old witch Liana stretched out her right hand like a ghost's claw, and grabbed at their void. The souls of the two of them tingled slightly at the same time, and an illusory and hazy witchcraft contract actually appeared out of thin air, floating in mid-air.

"Servant Contract!" "The old witch's eyes flashed with a terrifying red light, "You are so bold! Are you going to humiliate all the Northland witches with such an act? If you break the slave contract and hand over this loser today, I will allow you to get out of here alive and take the Lost Soul Water with you. Otherwise, don't blame me for purging the entire witch community of losers!"

As soon as the old witch's words fell, the entire dark swamp suddenly trembled slightly.

An even thicker fog began to rise, making the already dimly lit hut even darker.

Grim could perceive that at this moment, the eyes of the monsters soaked in the bottles and cans in the hut were strangely twisted towards him, and a terrifying feeling of dying was even more spontaneous in his heart.

"Say it, do you want to hand over the contract and leave with the Dead Soul Water, or do you want to die here in pain......?" the old witch's shrill and terrifying voice echoed through the silent cabin, and it was creepy.

Gegegege......

A slight clash of teeth came from behind him.

Alice, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, finally felt afraid.

The hidden void shocks began to become more frequent, and it might only take one finger for Alice to open a spatial rift large enough for two people to pass through and escape from here.

It's a pity that in front of a second-order witch, there are not so many "maybes" in the world!

The spatial rift disappeared as soon as it appeared.

There was a muffled sound like a stinky fart, and the black crack that had just opened turned into a puff of green smoke before it could stabilize, leaving a cyan scorch mark in the void.

"Only now do you think of running away......? It's too late!" the old witch gestured, and a grimace condensed by gray smoke suddenly appeared on Grim's side, and sank into his body with an eerie sneer.

The next moment, Grim felt his body stiffen, and the fire element, which was inseparable from his spirit, lost its sense in an instant. It's as if ...... It was as if he was suddenly in the midst of a forbidden demon enchantment, and there were no more fire elemental particles around him that could be driven.

Grim's tall body shook a few times, and he almost didn't fall all at once.

After completing the body elementalization, the fire element is him, and he is the fire element. At this moment, the connection between the fire element and the spirit was suddenly blocked, and he almost lost the strength to support his body.

Damn, how can body elementalization still have such drawbacks? Why have you never heard of it in any books? Is this where the ability of high-level wizards lies? Being able to cut off the sense of elemental particles by low-level wizards?

With the loss of the fire element, Grim's power loss is particularly severe. He held on to the crooked and twisted pillar with his hand, so that he did not fall to the ground.

呲呲......

A strange sound was heard, and a black python the size of a teacup snaked down the pillar, wrapping around Grim's arm. The black triangular serpent's head was raised high, and little by little it approached Grim's face.

Even as it hissed, Grim could already feel the fishy wind spitting on his face.

The old witch's voice rang out again.

"Give you one last chance to choose! hand over the contract, or ......"

"Die!"
