Chapter 298: Soul Contract, Super Ability
The witch stood beside the arched bridge, looked at the towering peaks in the distance, and exclaimed, "What a magnificence, this place is like another world, a hundred times more powerful than modern society." ”
"Well, it's spectacular." Li Ang followed her line of sight and agreed, "These peaks should be built with some kind of special rock, right?"
You see how they look......"
Leon stretched out his hand and pointed to the nearest peak, "Like a giant python wrapped around a tree, its form is distorted and the colors are bright, it looks like the body of a python...... Hey, why does the appearance of this mountain look a little familiar? ”
The witch glanced at him, "These are the Dragon Snake Ridge, which used to be the site of the Dragon Snake Valley, and our ancestors escaped from here back then......"
"I see!"
Li Ang suddenly realized, Dragon Snake Ridge, Dragon Snake Valley, so it is!
It's no wonder that the name of the place is familiar, and in the mythological series, the Valley of the Dragon and Snake is similar in shape to the mountain range that the protagonist's family often passes by.
Leon suddenly realized that this might be another mission related to the main god space.
The two of them continued along the arched bridge until they came to the end of Dragon Snake Ridge, a wide plain full of gray rocks as far as the eye could see.
It seems like it's the end of the road, and you can never leave unless you walk through the rocks.
"This should be the central area of Dragon Snake Ridge...... How can I get out of here? ”
The witch stopped, turned around, revealing a delicate face, stared at Li Ang with cold eyes, and slowly spoke: "According to your guess just now, I am one of the chosen ones, but you are not chosen, then we need to exchange souls to achieve the effect of resonance." ”
The witch paused and said slowly, "Now, please release your soul, and we will exchange souls." ”
"Wait, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Leon stared at the other party vigilantly, with some doubts in his heart, he didn't know who this girl was, why she could see in the dark and hear her own heartbeat.
What the hell is she?
"You don't dare to kill me."
The witch smiled and said, "I don't know where you came from, and I don't know why you weren't cursed. But you didn't kill me all the time, and you helped me find the last 'sacred egg', which is a favor and a test. ”
"Test ......"
Leon muttered thoughtfully.
"Yes, the test."
The witch stroked the round eggshell in her arms and said, "You are the only lucky one who can touch the Divine Egg."
If you're willing to make a deal with me, we'll be able to complete the contract and get out of here. ”
"Contract?"
Li Ang was slightly stunned, and the words on an ancient book appeared in his mind, the word "contract", which seemed to refer to this thing?
"Yes, the contract." The witch said.
"You mean, I signed the contract?" Leon frowned, "What contract did you ask me to sign?" ”
"A soul-bound contract."
The witch explained, "You and my souls merge into one, become one, sharing each other's abilities and complementing each other's imperfections. ”
"Well......" Leon asked thoughtfully, "what are your abilities?" ”
The witch's lips quirmed, but she didn't speak.
"Forget it, don't sell it, just say it."
Li Ang waved his hand and urged: "Your soul must be strong, we cooperate happily, I will protect your safety." ”
"......," the witch lowered her eyes, "my soul is not strong." ”
"Huh?" Leon blinked, "I heard you right, what did you say?" ”
"My soul is not strong."
The witch repeated, her voice still cold, unwavering.
"Uh......"
Li Ang swallowed and said in disbelief, "Are you kidding? Your soul is not strong? ”
The witch did not speak.
Leon scratched his head and muttered suspiciously, "Then why did you become so powerful?" Aren't you human? ”
The witch looked up at Leon, "Do you want to ask me why I can see in the dark and hear your breathing?"
It all started with the necklace I was wearing, which was a high-end item and worth a fortune. ”
When Li Ang heard this, he immediately rummaged through the storage bag, took out the silver-white ring, and said, "This metal ring on my body is also a high-end product, called [Eagle Strike]. ”
The witch looked at him silently and suddenly asked, "How did you get Eagle Strike?" You didn't meet any other apostles before this? ”
Leon shrugged his shoulders, "Of course not, I'm unique. ”
The witch frowned slightly, "We are all apostles, but each apostle has different abilities, what are your abilities?" ”
Leon thought for a moment and said, "[Psionic Energy] and [Mechanics]. ”
"What is psionic power?"
The witch wondered, "I don't have this ability in my memory. ”
"Oh...... Maybe it's because you're too weak to use psionic energy. Leon teased and asked, "What about you?" What are your abilities? ”
The witch pondered for a moment and said slowly, "My ability is called [Time Regression]. ”
"Time rewind?"
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are kidding me, right?" What are you capable of...... The materials I've read seem to say that you can go back in time and change the course of historical events thirty seconds ago? ”
The witch nodded, "Correct." ”
"Wouldn't that go back to before you died?"
Leon raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Then why didn't you use it before you died?" ”
“…… Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
The witch said lightly, "I'm not dead. ”
"Huh?" Li Ang's eyes widened, and he was puzzled: "You obviously said that you were cursed and sealed in the Dragon Sleep Temple. ”
"Nope."
The witch shook her head slightly, "This is a cage designed by the Nightmare King, there is no concept of 'death', you will not die, your so-called death only means the dissipation of the soul."
I died only because of a curse.
The curse has sealed me here, restricting my freedom.
The timeline of this world is crumbling, I can't survive tonight, you won't die, and I won't die, so we don't need to trade. ”
As he spoke, the surrounding area was filled with thick fog, and the ceiling gradually cracked cracks.
The witch stood in place, not dodging, quietly waiting for the ceiling to fall.
Li Ang hesitated and said, "Since you have a way to break the seal, why don't you give it a try?" ”
The witch said lightly: "There are hundreds of forks in the road, each leading to a different future, and I am just a passerby in this world." I don't want to mess with this past, and I don't want to try other possibilities, because those past are not good. ”
She paused, "Moreover, we haven't signed a contract yet, I can't tell you all the information, what do you want to know, you can ask me directly, and I will answer you." ”
