Chapter Seventy-Four: Negotiation (One Shift, The Child Has a Fever)
CHAPTER XXXIV
Deep in the jungle, on a huge flat-topped peak. More than fifty witches are converging here.
"Muriel, those humans are coming this way. There were more than thirty people, all with weapons and a lot of explosives. It would be dangerous to let them get close here. ”
"Hehe, human. What a race that doesn't have a long memory. This is my territory, and they dare to be presumptuous here. Unleash our hounds and shred those damn bed bugs. The leading witch gave the order with a look of contempt.
Muriel is the leader of these witches, the only great witch. She's the one who can switch between a witch's real body and her human form. And the vicious dog in her mouth refers to Edward, the troll Edward. The one who fought with Lu Qiming that night.
Lu Qiming and the others did not follow the same path as the hunters. But the distance is actually not far away, Lu Qiming hopes to know the whereabouts of which hunters at any time and determine the situation in front of him.
When he vaguely heard a roar coming, Lu Qiming smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
"They're already at war and we need to pick things up."
"Wait a minute, those people can't deal with trolls and witches. We just watch and don't care? Hansel obviously couldn't accept Lu Qiming's approach.
"No, we're not just watching. We don't look at it at all. At least a witch and trolls besieging the humans. We're now at least 20 percent more successful in raiding that lair. Do you decide to save the hunters or the kids? Hansel, you need to make a choice. We don't have enough manpower, so we have to choose one over the other. ”
Hansel and Glitter glanced at each other, and quickly understood what each other meant.
"Lu, we know that you are all very powerful witchers. Promise me, will you save those children? We can't watch those ordinary people die in front of us. ”
"You have to think about it, Hansel. They didn't ask you to save them. You won't be thanked. Lu Qiming meant something, but the brother and sister had already decided.
"We don't do it out of gratitude."
"Very well, I promise you. Will bring those kids home. After Lu Qiming finished speaking, the three of them directly used superhuman strength to shuttle rapidly through the woods, and soon arrived at the top of the mountain.
Lu Qiming could feel that countless energy aggregates appeared directly in front of him. There were a few of them, and he still felt palpitations from this distance.
Lu Qiming's mind moved, and a pure white mist began to surge around his body. The already dim sky instantly became invisible.
Muriel was the first to notice this.
"Someone is coming, pay attention, there is something strange about these fogs." However, just as she spoke, a figure suddenly flashed out of the white mist. Muriel's early warning magic essence accurately sensed Lu Qiming who was moving at high speed. But before she could make a move, she sensed a figure appear behind her.
But the strange thing is that the other party did not attack with the help of this ultra-high-speed movement, but directly passed her and ran towards the back. Muriel's face changed drastically.
"Damn, they're coming for those kids."
The structure of the top of the mountain is very simple, and Lu Qiming saw the cave of the Guaya children at a glance. There were two witches guarding the entrance of the cave, and they were both able to detect Lu Qiming's location with their magical perception. But he couldn't keep up with Lu Qiming's movements.
Lu Qiming had the Demon Knife in his hand, and his whole body was frantically injected with true qi. A cyan glow flashed on the Enma Blade. This instantaneous killing made Lu Qiming use his strongest strength. When he disappeared in place, the necks of the two witches on the opposite side also flashed with cyan light.
The cyan light sliced through some invisible barrier, and sparks flew in the air. Two ugly heads rose to the sky. The sharp sword qi severed the heads of the two men, and at the same time cut the fence behind them. In order to succeed in one blow, Lu Qiming struck with all his might, and there was no doubt that the damage overflowed.
There was a dense whistling sound behind him. At least twenty witches flew through the fog. Lu Qiming didn't dare to stop, and the Enma Knife in his hand swung out again, and the cyan sword qi covered the entire cave entrance. This is done to prevent hidden magic traps. His True Qi was able to induce magic traps, and at the same time, the Enma Knife forcibly destroyed those traps.
When Mu Lier and the others arrived, Lu Qiming had already rushed into the cave, and the Enma Knife in his hand was on the neck of one of the children.
"In my mind. Magic is a sophisticated and complex thing. Especially with this kind of ritual magic, if there is a problem in any link, it will lead to the failure of the ritual, or even more dangerous situations. If I kill a child now, what will your council be like? ”
"Hehe, you tell me now. A witch hunter who rushed in with all the trouble just to kill these children? ”
Muriel obviously didn't believe Lu Qiming's words. But she didn't dare to approach easily. She had seen Lu Qiming's speed just now, and although they all had defensive magic, they were not very afraid of this kind of surprise attack. But those kids can't hold on. In case something goes wrong and kills one in the melee, her plan is over.
"Let me start by stating that I'm not a witch hunter. I don't have any negative opinion about witches. On the contrary, I am very interested in you who have mastered magic. I never wanted to hunt you down. I'm here because we've accepted a mission that we can't refuse. In order to accomplish this task, I don't care about using some special means. Including watching the deaths of those dozens of villagers down the mountain. ”
"You're a little different from those witch hunters. Tell me, what do you want? ”
"What I want is simple, I need these children to come home safely."
"It's absolutely impossible. You know my plans, I've been waiting for this day for decades. I'm not going to wait. If you're going to take these kids today, be prepared to die here. ”
"I knew you would say that. But as far as I know, it seems that the night after tomorrow will be a blood moon, right? ”
………………..
On the other side, Wei Xingyun, Cao Juan, and Lin San have completed Lu Qiming's commission. In the chaos, they steal a child from the town.
"I don't understand, don't those witches already have all the children? Why should we protect this child. Cao Juan didn't understand the purpose of this mission.
But what does Wei Xingyun seem to understand? He looked at the child and said meaningfully.
"No, we're not protecting this kid."
