Before dawn broke, the frightened Fangno returned to the witch's hut.

He felt that half of his heart was still immersed in the memory space before, and his ears were filled with the sound of fighting and the sound of fire, and when he closed his eyes, he could only see the infinite fire, which couldn't help but remind him of the scorched remains of the arrow mounds soaked in the crimson light.

At this time, the forest greenstone that came from the treasure chest fell out of his hair with a "snap" and fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and his consciousness was able to come to his senses.

But then, a sense of exhaustion hit him.

However, this phenomenon was not worth his alarm—it should be said that he had expected to feel trapped at the end of his late-night adventure.

Fang Nuo raised his hand and rubbed his face, deciding to find a reliable place to hide this "Beastmaster's Relic" before he lost consciousness due to excessive fatigue, and when he had rested enough, he would study it well in the remaining days to see if he could benefit from it.

Looking around, despite his drowsiness, Fang Nuo clearly realized that his knowledge of the layout of the room was limited to the "window to the bookshelf" area.

He didn't know if the witch would rummage through the other furnishings, or which room each door in the hut led to.

What's more, he has witnessed the witch exert her abilities and perform all kinds of "miracles", and there is hardly a place in this hut that can be called "secret" and "safe" for him.

He shouldn't have run away so decisively, Fang Nuo thought to himself.

Now that there was still some time before dawn, he could have continued to ask Xiong Zhen, the "pioneer on the path of cultivation", about the correspondence between "person" and "ability", and figure out what kind of "miracles" different ability levels compared.

Since the other party has helped him so much, he will not hide anything in this kind of thing...... He missed a great opportunity to gain knowledge.

But it has come to this, if he hadn't run away, how could he be sure that Xiong Zhen wouldn't suddenly have a murderous intention? No matter how much you review it, it's just an outdated and meaningless move.

"It's not like you won't see you again." Fang Nuo looked out the window, first sighed, then shook his head, and self-denial, "No, I guess I won't see you again." ”

The other party is a madman who is willing to let the calamity he experienced when he was a child repeat in order to be the king of beasts...... If you can, it's better not to meet again.

"There it is!"

Fang Nuo, who had gathered his thoughts and minimized his delusions, suddenly had an idea, and dragged his tired body in the direction of the bookshelf.

During this time, he also kicked out the books he had brought out before, so that their placement did not look so deliberate.

He climbed to the top of the bookshelf in a few steps, and he had the impression that the witch had placed the book that had sealed many evil monsters here, thinking that Fang Nuo would not be able to reach it by doing so.

She was thinking too simply.

Holding the chain attached to the emerald, Fang Nuo carefully tucked it into the groove between the spine and the book cover.

The stone is just the right size, and it doesn't shine normally, so it's hard to attract the attention of humans.

In his opinion, the book was the most dangerous place in the room, and visitors from outside generally did not pay attention to it placed on the top of the shelf, and the owner of the cottage probably did not turn it around very often.

When it takes time to hide a dream, the "most dangerous place" can be transformed into the "safest place".

……

Fang Nuo had a dream.

He dreamed that he had found the eternal resting place of the beasts after the beast tide of the year, and when he dug up the sand and gravel on the surface, he saw all the shining soul crystals, all kinds of colors.

By finding the remnants of the deceased one step earlier, he had a reason to dissuade Xiong Zhen from changing his plans, at least in his dreams, and there was no need for the bear to launch a beast tide to raze the mountain village to the ground for the sake of these stones that would increase their strength and help them advance to their ranks.

However, at the end of the dream, the bear, who had listened to his explanation, let out a sneer, and then questioned him:

"Do you really think ...... Am I so superficial? ”

Fang Nuo suddenly woke up.

"Hate ...... Hatred...... The mourning birds believed that humans were strong and remarkable, and they built villages on the site of the calamity in place of the orcs, both to protect and 'suppress' the souls of the dead. ”

The bear apparently had a different opinion.

Fang Nuo gradually came back to his senses from Fang Cai's dream, and found that the sky was already bright, and the star "Alternate Time and Space", which gave light and heat to all things, had hung high in the sky, and the chirping of a flock of birds could be heard from time to time outside the house.

The house was quiet.

The witch is probably out of the house, and she said she was going into the mountains.

Fang Nuo got up, and found that he was in a different position than where he had fallen, and that the witch had carried him to the table and placed him in a flower-shaped cushion.

The books that he had been hoked by last night were also put back on the shelves at this time.

The windows in the room were bright and clean, and Fang Nuo's mood brightened as a result.

He stretched, hurriedly jumped off the table, and ran in three steps and two steps to the place where he had hidden something, trying to study the green stone that was said to have come from some of the Beastmasters.

However, his mood soon returned to gloom, and the thought of "killing himself before he fell asleep" also came to his mind.

"Where's the stuff?!"

With the prompt sound of "Malice Value Increase", Fang Nuo officially concluded that "the book that sealed the demon beast was taken away by the witch along with his forest greenstone".

Fang Nuo lost his strength for a moment, sliding from the top of the bookshelf to the ground.

The woman...... The room was full of other things, but I took the book that contained the relics of the Beastmaster!

Fang Nuo was almost angry—both annoyed by the witch's actions and sulking at his own assumptions.

He should have thought that if the witch wanted to enter the mountain, she might encounter a demon beast that threatened humans, and she would have to carry the book that could seal the demon beast.

"Alas......" Fang Nuo, who was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, slumped to the ground, squinting upwards and glaring hatefully at the place where the book was originally placed on the shelf.

Before he could finish his remorse, a crisp knock on the door disturbed all his thoughts.

Fang Nuo jumped onto the table, his face pressed against the window, and tried to look at the door that was in a blind spot.

Not seeing what the visitor looked like at the door, and hearing the knock on the door getting more and more urgent, Fang Nuo simply took the initiative to run and open the door.

Anyway, the humans in the villages didn't have the courage to come to the witch's house to make trouble.

Even if those people really came to do something, they couldn't hurt him.

As soon as the door opened a crack outside, a familiar face leaped into Fang Nuo's field of vision.

The one who came was the son of Orion, who was rescued by the witch yesterday, a young human named "Noka".

Noka and his sister were not able to attend yesterday afternoon's herbal tea-making event, and the witch was still heartbroken for a while, thinking that her notoriety had scared the boys away.

At this moment, Noka was carrying a large bag and a basket made of hemp fibers on his shoulder, and looking at his complacent look, Fang Nuo guessed that he had come to the door to deliver the payment.

I guess I was looking for a suitable gift for the evening with my sister, and I hurried here early the next morning to surprise the witch.

It's a pity that the witch gets up early on weekdays, and she goes out early today.
