Chapter 166: An Accidental Discovery

Aside from the grass around him, based on the blood-red six-pointed star array, the magic circle with intricate symbols carved on it was hidden inside, and it was the bloody aura left on the magic circle that attracted the attention of Watson, who was about to go back.

The blood-colored six-pointed star is the basis of a magic circle common to most evil sects on the mainland, its effect is to detain the soul of the sacrifice, and the mysterious pattern on it represents the identity of the sacrificed, and the believer will give the soul of the sacrifice to the sacrificed through this magic circle, and in this way obtain the reward of the sacrificed.

There were a lot of strips of clothing and cloth scattered around the sacrificial circle, and there were obvious traces of crushing on the surrounding grass, judging from these aspects, it should have been sacrificed here before, and not much time had passed, because the blood stains next to the sacrificial circle next to it didn't look completely dark brown.

Pulling out the long knife and inserting it into the center of the six-pointed star circle, dark energy poured down from the blade, and the remaining energy on the sacrificial circle flashed a scarlet light to resist, but it finally dimmed under the impact of a large amount of dark energy.

After the remaining energy was exhausted, the circle lost the energy to sustain it, and soon dissipated into some points of light under Watson's gaze.

"This is a problem...... I didn't expect that there would be evil sects operating in this kind of place. ”

The appearance of this sacrificial circle, as well as the time of its use, indicate that there must be some evil believers in this vicinity, although Watson doesn't feel anything about it, but the team of the mage academy is in trouble, if these people know that there is a group of mage apprentices here, they will definitely not let these people go easily.

Although many of the students are still apprentices, the strength and purity of their souls are much better than those of ordinary professionals due to the continuous meditation to improve their spiritual power.

Besides, there are more than a dozen people here, and the quantity and quality are combined, and it is almost a sure thing that these people will be sacrificed to obtain some good abilities.

The most troublesome thing now is that Watson is completely ignorant of the information of these people, and it is impossible to judge what strength the other party is from a sacrificial array, after all, as long as it is an evil sect, there will be this kind of sacrificial circle inside, and most of them have some kind of monster as their support.

Put the knife back into its sheath, Watson rode back on the dumplings and took some time to rush back to the camp, Viola just let him stay here to continue to pay attention to Beth to prevent possible accidents, it seems that after the impact of the berserk orangutan just now, this side has stabilized a lot, and there are no other incidents.

"Why did you come back so late and get rid of the rampaging orangutan? ”

"Hmm...... It should be back in the central forest area of Jongdar by now, but on the way back I saw something more troublesome, a sacrificial circle that the evil sect used for a short time, and I suspect they are still operating in this area, so keep an eye out for it tonight. ”

Stepping off the dumpling's back, Watson held up a nearby tree with one hand, observing the situation in the distant camp while telling Viola what he had just encountered.

"Aren't we going to tell those people to let them go back......? It must be easy for those people to be a target for sacrifice. ”

"Let them go back? no...... Not to mention whether they will believe me, in fact, I don't want them to leave now, I have to find out the reality of that evil sect, the guild needs the information of these underground forces, and if this evil sect is just emerging...... We've got to strangle them in the cradle. ”

The area of the outer forest of Jondar was too vast, and the time it would take to find some members of the Order in such a forest was not what he wanted to afford right now.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Watson planned to use these people from the Mage Academy as his own bait to seduce those evil sects to do something to them, while he hid and secretly ambushed the people in this organization, waiting for an opportunity to find out some information about their organization.

If the ambush of that sect succeeded, casualties among some of the students in the Mage Academy's team were almost inevitable, and in fact, Watson also thought of this, but he still insisted on his choice and did not tell those people that there were members of the evil sect around him.

In fact, what if there were casualties? It was a problem with the Mage Guild, and it had nothing to do with him, a member of the Demon Hunting Guild, and was there a rule that he had to notify all the innocent people here if he found out about the magic circle? No kidding, Watson wasn't such a kind person.

It would be good that he didn't take the initiative to spread the word that there were apprentices from the Mage Academy here to attract those people, if the members of the evil sect didn't find here, then even if these people were lucky, if they were found by the members of the evil sect, then he just had to make sure that Beth was not harmed, and the others ...... can only resign themselves to fate.

Viola was noncommittally silent about Watson's plan, her heart told her that this was not the right behavior, and she should tell the people over there this information, but after following Watson for so long, she has also experienced a lot of life and death struggles, and after seeing death, her mood has completely changed, and she is more mature and more ruthless in dealing with foreign affairs......

Just like now, although in her mind, she subconsciously feels that Watson's approach is a little impersonal, but her reason thinks that this is a very normal behavior, and there is nothing wrong with it, the people in the camp over there have nothing to do with her, and it is better to help them than to help Watson, after all, the man around her is the closest person to her.

Viola just stood next to Watson and thought silently, her brows furrowed and sometimes stretched, but Watson was also watching her at this time, waiting for her to make her own decision.

What Watson said just now was actually deliberately said to Viola, in fact, he could have taken the discovery of the sacrificial circle and his own plan to heart without telling Viola, if it had been two months ago, he would have done so, because Viola at that time would have almost no hesitation to choose to help those people in the Mage Academy.

And now that he's been through so much, he feels it's time for his companion to see the cruelty of the world, and she must choose between the two options Watson has given her.

"I ...... I agree with your plan and I'll help you!!"

After about ten minutes, Viola pushed her hair behind her ears, gave Watson a big smile, and said firmly (to be continued.) )
