Mazm woke up slowly.

Hiss!

The pain in the back of his head not only made the witch man grin, but also confused his brain for a while.

What happened?

I was digging for the Philosopher's Stone and came across the black dogs.

Luckily, I was prepared to let the group of black dogs suffer a lot of losses. The bastard of Dena should not want to recover in a short time.

But the bastard also sent reinforcements and chased after me.

I had to choose the most dangerous passage.

This is the villa of the 'Songshi' family in Aicheng, and there is usually no one, but this time I was extremely unlucky, and I met the people of the 'Songshi' family.

Those reinforcements of mine......

Don't think about it!

There will be no escape.

Even if his mind is confused, Mazmu has a fairly clear understanding of the 'Turquoise' family.

That's definitely not something he can fight alone.

Even the people who gathered all the witches in Ai were no match.

Otherwise, 'Songshi' would not have been honored as an adult by those black dogs in Aicheng.

That's right!

Who attacked me?

My 'Philosopher's Stone'!

And with the memory of 'Turquoise', Mazm quickly came to his senses.

As soon as he woke up, Mazm thought about his 'Philosopher's Stone', and when he realized that the 'Philosopher's Stone' was in the palm of his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Mazm's heart was lifted.

"Are you sure you've got it all?"

"Of course."

"Mazm didn't think I'd be following him."

"Now is our best chance."

The sound of conversation came to Mazm's ears.

One of them is slightly familiar.

The remaining voice was extremely unfamiliar.

Judging by the voice, Mazm was not far away from him, but not close, at least after a distance, he opened his eyes slightly.

Then, he saw the back of a man.

This person's back is also a little familiar.

But who, Mazm did not remember.

"The Philosopher's Stone is not so easy to hold!"

An unfamiliar voice said.

"Will you give up?"

The familiar voice sneered.

The unfamiliar voice fell silent.

"Look."

"Neither will you."

"What we have to do now is to make everyone think that Mazm has gotten the 'Philosopher's Stone', and then go away."

"Especially now that the 'Turquoise' family is also involved."

"As long as we do it skillfully enough to muddy the waters, no one will be able to doubt us."

"Don't you want to have the power of the Philosopher's Stone?"

A familiar voice said eagerly.

The silent voice hesitated.

"Yes!"

"But there's only one ...... the 'Philosopher's Stone'"

"I have a way of dividing the power among them."

"Now, you disguise yourself as Mazm's current appearance and draw everyone's attention, and then, we'll see you in the old place."

It was a full four or five seconds before the voice answered, and, as soon as the mouth was interrupted, by a familiar voice.

"Okay."

After an unfamiliar voice answered in the affirmative, it fell silent.

Obviously, it's gone.

After another dozen seconds, the familiar voice muttered to itself.

"Do you really think I'll divide the power of the Philosopher's Stone equally?"

"Don't say I don't know, even if I do, I won't share it with you!"

The familiar voice turned its head as it spoke.

When that slightly familiar face appeared in Mazm's eyes, Mazmu instantly remembered who the other party was.

He is also a witch man.

His whereabouts are secretive, but his ability is not weak, especially the other party's [House of Resentful Spirits], which has a reputation for not being weak among the witches in Ai City.

"It turned out to be him!"

"Is everything before ......?"

Mazm thought of Eisen, who should have been attracted attention, but suddenly appeared in front of him. Morality.

Some of the doubts were cleared up in an instant.

Richard. Madden's waste must have been 'exposed' by the guy in front of him to reveal it so quickly.

And, Eisen. De was able to find him so smoothly, and he couldn't do anything with the other party.

As for why?

It's so obvious!

Isn't it just for his 'Philosopher's Stone'?

Pity!

The other party still underestimated his ability to recover.

Even if he changed his body and was extremely weak, he could not be knocked down by a sudden attack.

Maybe faint for a few seconds.

But it will recover very quickly.

Step, step!

There was the sound of footsteps in my ears.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Mazim closed his eyes, but this did not hinder his actions, and when the other party picked up his palm and wanted to take the 'Philosopher's Stone' out of his hand, Mazm's other hand stabbed at the other party.

Burst!

The other party's neck was pierced like this.

The other party's eyes widened, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.

"Do you really think that the new body I chose will not have the slightest power to protect itself?"

Mazmu opened his eyes, looked at the mouse hiding behind the curtain in front of him, sneered, and pulled out his palm.

Thump!

The other party fell straight to the ground, without breath, and his eyes were still wide, as if he was dead.

Mazm simply paid no attention to the corpses on the ground.

Even if the other party has the ability to turn into a geist, those things take time, not something that can be done in a short period of time.

And by that time, he would have already recovered and even gone further.

How can you be afraid of a geist?

The most important thing now is to gain the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

After confirming that he was still in the fork in the road, Mazm quickly made such a decision.

There are people from the 'Songshi' family in front, and black dogs chasing soldiers in the back, and his reinforcements can't hold back the people of the 'Songshi' family for too long, and it is a matter of time before they perish.

Even, even if he escaped by chance, Mazm couldn't be sure if Ai City had a place for him at this moment.

As soon as he appears, he will definitely be targeted.

Not only because he is too weak at the moment, but also because of the 'Sage Stone' in his hand!

So, the best thing to do now is to use the 'Philosopher's Stone'!

Only after using the 'Philosopher's Stone' and regaining strength, and even going to the next level, can we solve the current crisis.

With the 'Philosopher's Stone', he is inferior and without the 'Philosopher's Stone', he is stronger, are completely two different concepts.

Looking down at the pebble, Mazm grinned.

"A bunch of fools!"

"Do you really think I won't have more back-ups?"

As he spoke, Mazmu raised his hand and stabbed it into the lower abdomen of the body, taking out something the size of a cigarette case.

Wrapped in hemp paper full of medicinal smell, the smell of blood was quickly masked, and even the wound was healing rapidly.

Mazim, on the other hand, carefully opened the paper bag, arranged the Holy Stone (diamond), the hundred-year-old oak leaves, and a tube of sea water in the storm into a triangle, and placed the 'Philosopher's Stone' in the middle, and then, biting his left index finger, dripping blood on the 'Philosopher's Stone', and muttering softly in his mouth.

"Holiness was your soul."

"Oak leaves, it was your body."

"Storm, it was your cry."

"You were born in darkness and bloomed with light......"

A long spell echoed across the fork in the road, and when the spell stopped, Mazm looked at the 'Philosopher's Stone' expectantly.

However, nothing happened.

"Is it ......?"

"Did I remember the spell wrong?"

Mazmu was stunned for a moment, and then began the ritual again.

But still nothing happened.

This time, Mazm was a little flustered.

You know, it's all about his future.

If he can't complete the ritual, he's finished!

Without any delay, Mazm began the ritual again in trepidation.

The spell stumbled, but there was no mistake, exactly the same as the previous two times, the same, exactly the same...... Still nothing happens.

"What's going on?"

"What went wrong?"

"Could it be that the 'Philosopher's Stone' has a secret that I don't know?"

Mazm thought to himself.

But before he could finish his thoughts, the pain came from the back of his head again.

Bang!

Another brick slammed into the back of Mazm's head.

This time is different from the previous one.

This time, the higher-ranking evil spirit showed no mercy at all, it was rounded, and it was smashed, and under the inertia of power, cracks appeared in the bricks.

Mazmu didn't even snort, and just fainted to the ground.

The superior demon walked out from behind the other party.

"It's easy!"

Looking at the other party who fell to the ground, the superior evil spirit did not change back to its original appearance, it was still the same person who had attacked the witch Gu in the restaurant, he first picked up all the things on the ground, including the 'Sage Stone', and then continued to pick up the bricks and smash them violently, and only after confirming that Mazm could not wake up in a short time, the upper evil spirit stopped.

Sensing the sound of battle on the ground that gradually subsided, the superior evil spirit did not hesitate, turned around and burrowed into the wall on the side.

About a minute later, he walked in.

Looking at Mazm, whose face was bruised and swollen, he frowned.

After searching around and finding nothing, he pointed at Mazm.

Suddenly, Mazm woke up.

"Philosopher's Stone?!"

"My Philosopher's Stone!"

As soon as he woke up, Mazm found that his 'Philosopher's Stone' was missing, and he screamed in panic, and then, he saw the Waiyi.

At this time, Mazim didn't care whether he was a member of the 'Songshi' family at all, so he rushed towards him.

"Give me back my Philosopher's Stone!"

Aside from turning to one side, aiming at the back of Mazm's neck, a sharp hand knife.

Thump!

Mazm fainted again.

Looking at Mazm who passed out on the ground, he was overjoyed.

"The Philosopher's Stone?"

"It's going to be the Philosopher's Stone!"

The retainer of the 'Songshi' was so excited that he picked up the unconscious Mazmu and quickly returned the same way.

South area, outside the villa area.

The superior demon emerged from a shadow.

It's still very weak at the moment, and it's too hard to shuttle continuously with things.

The superior demon gasped for air.

However, when he turned his head and looked at the high-ranking evil spirit in the depths of the villa area, he was full of smiles.

The water is muddy, so that the fisherman profits!

It's not because it senses that the boss is still a little unhappy, and deliberately comes to make trouble for the 'Songshi' family.

"Have fun."

As he spoke, the superior demon threw the pebble on the side of the road, and his entire body disappeared again.

……

By the time the superior demon returned to the restaurant, it was already dark.

The average person starts the day again.

Mimosa had gone into the dream ten minutes earlier.

Qin Ran leaned back in the sofa chair and waited quietly.

After he sensed that the superior evil spirit had entered the basement of the restaurant, Qin Ran slowly got up, gestured at the elite 'evil dog' lying in the corner, and quietly left the room.

In the corridor, there is also a 'vicious dog'.

When he saw Qin, he kept wagging his tail.

Qin Ran touched the door of the 'vicious dog's head, pointed to the master bedroom, and continued down.

To the 'vicious dogs' in the lobby, the same touching of the head and the same gesture.

In fact, not only the corridor on the second floor, the lobby on the first floor, but also the rooftop, back door and alley outside the front door of the restaurant, Qin Ran arranged 'vicious dogs'.

These 'vicious dogs' who are tireless and can do their duty loyally only need some food, in Qin Ran's opinion, are really the best guards.

After giving these 'vicious dogs' a reward for touching their heads one by one, Qin Ran turned into the basement.

Originally, it was a basement for storing wine, but after Qin Ran's simple tidying, it became a utility room.

The superior demon is standing in the room.

“Boss。”

Seeing Qin Ran walking in, the superior evil spirit courteously handed Qin Ran the Holy Stone (diamond), a hundred-year-old oak leaf, and a tube of seawater in the storm.

As for spells?

With the power of the contract, the superior evil spirit believes that with the wisdom of his boss, three times is enough to be familiar with it.

Looking at the things in his hand, Qin Ran didn't start arranging them right away.

Habitual caution kept him on his last guard.

Of course, for the money that has been used, Qin Ran is relieved to use it.

did not return to the room, and in this utility room, Qin Ran directly used 40 silver coins.

40 Silver Coins is equivalent to 1,200 Bronze Coins, and if you roughly calculate it, it is equivalent to the number of 1,200 Soul Transcendence.

And this kind of amount made Qin Ran's strength fully unsealed again.

[Spiritual attribute breaks through a layer of seal, A→A+]

[Strength, agility, constitution, and perception break through twice in a row, B+→A]

……

Among them, the breakthrough of the spiritual attribute consumed 600 copper coins, and the remaining four attributes, each of which cost 150 copper coins for two consecutive breakthroughs.

Sensing the powerful feeling coming from his body, Qin Ran once again used the breathing method of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] to adjust himself.

One breakthrough at a time.

Adjust one adjustment at a time.

Practice makes perfect, coupled with focused connections.

Almost a few seconds later, Qin Ran adapted to his current body.

Then he took out the gold coin.

In the same way as exchanging copper money for silver money, 30 silver money can be exchanged for one gold money.

However, because of the scarcity and special role of Jindu coins, this conversion is more expensive, and it takes roughly 35 silver coins to be able to exchange for one Jindu coin.

If it was a normal situation, Qin Ran would definitely choose to exchange Yindu money to maximize benefits.

But this time is different.

It was not only Qin Ran's first time 'devouring' Jindu money.

More because of the craving for 'gluttony' in his body.

Glancing at the superior evil spirit, Qin Ran chose to devour the Jindu money in his hand.

The thought just came to mind.

The Jindu money in Qin Ran's hand suddenly changed.
