Isaiah was a very weak fighter, or rather, she wasn't a fighter at all, but she was a very good actress.
[
Notification: Since the Hunter successfully eliminated the witch, a special mission was activated: "The Witch Hunter (1/10)».
If this mission is successfully completed, the Hunter will be awarded the unique title "Witch Hunter".».
Su Xiao was surprised. He knew about the existence of titles and the fact that they could be obtained, after all, he currently owned the title of "Stalwart Fighter" that he had obtained from fighting in the arena, but he didn't expect to be able to obtain a title in this world.
There were no guards or escorts in this witch's house, only one young boy from among the former slaves. In the past, he was just an ordinary slave, but he gained Isaiah's trust by killing his closest relatives. Unfortunately, Isaiah didn't trust him at all. A man who could kill his next of kin wasn't trustworthy at all. How could Isaiah, such a clever witch, not understand this?
She did manage to mislead him briefly in the beginning, but it made him realize that all witches would be difficult to deal with, even if some of them might not have any fighting power. These witches were all mentally ill girls. Even if they did recover from this "awakening," they did not become mentally healthy again.
After signalling to Amu to pick up Isaiah's body, Su Xiao jumped out of the window and was immediately followed by Bubtni along with Amu.
He picked out the first house he saw and knocked on its door.
Immediately there was the sound of furniture being pushed in the house.
After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man with a beard came out. Outside, he only glanced at his crying wife and son as he closed the door.
— Thirty rupees for food, " the middle-aged man said in a calm tone. He knew what was waiting for him, but with the sale, he would be able to leave his wife and child some food.
In front of the middle-aged man, a pale corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing the corpse's face, the middle-aged man froze.
— The mistress is ... dead?".. at first, the man's face turned deathly pale, and then, after thinking about something, his face returned to its normal color.
— Where is Isa's house located? Su Xiao asked, finally confirming that this entire city was one big slave market.
— No, we can't betray them, " the middle-aged man muttered and took two steps back, a reaction that had clearly become instinctive for him, which clearly indicated that he had already lived in this place for a long time.
*Ding-ding...*
The gold coins fell to the ground. Although there weren't many of them, these coins were worth as much as 1,750 gold due to their face value, and they were all found by Su Xiao in Isaiah's house.
— Take me there.
— … — the middle-aged man was silent for a while, but eventually picked up the coins and pushed them inside his house, opening the door a crack.
After that, the man in linen clothes started walking quickly in the drizzling rain. He was very weak, and when he walked for several dozen meters, he would stop for a second, trying to catch his breath.
At a time like this, middle-aged people were considered long-lived, and as for the elderly, they were very rare among ordinary civilians.
Su Xiao didn't push him. Isa had already run away a long time ago anyway, and she definitely wasn't stupid, at least she wasn't what Isaiah described her as. The fact that she didn't try to save her friend after receiving the signal already indicated her coolness and good intelligence.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao reached the edge of the city wall and came to a small wooden house.
Around this house, within a radius of several hundred meters, there were no other houses.
Su Xiao placed his hand on Amu's back, and a layer of light blue crystals immediately appeared on the surface of Amu's body.
After that, he and Bubtney retreated back.
Man, dog, and bull had different responsibilities. Bubtni was in charge of scouting, Su Xiao was in charge of fighting, and Amu was in charge of protecting and clearing traps.
Amu gently pushed open the wooden door...
*Bang!*
The flaming arrow tore through the layers of air waves, smashed the door into pieces, and flew straight at Amu's chest.
Su Xiao immediately pulled the string and Amu immediately flew back, while Bubtni appeared out of nowhere and bit that arrow from the side.
*Boom!*
When the smoke cleared, everyone saw that the crystals on the surface of Amu's body were full of cracks. They themselves turned a smoky gray color, and Amu's chest was missing some of the skin and meat, which made part of his ribs clearly visible..
Shaking off the dust, Amu looked around. He didn't care that his ribs were now visible to everyone, but the middle-aged man was so scared that he fell on his butt and a puddle slowly began to spread out beneath him.
After that, Su Xiao walked towards the house. Bubtney jumped on the roof, and Amu stood near the entrance.
As soon as he stepped inside, he immediately smelled a familiar fragrance, a strong aphrodisiac fragrance. It looked like Isaiah wasn't the only one who liked this toy, or maybe it was the stuff that made witches stronger.
This house was about ten square meters and it was a little dark inside. Inside, there was only a simple wooden bed, a wardrobe, and that was all. On the walls were wooden shelves filled with bottles and jars of all sorts.
Some of the bottles were filled with human eyeballs.
This house was very cramped, and it was obvious from the broken bottles and cans that the witch had left in a hurry. She took only the essentials and activated the trap before leaving.
— Kva~.
Su Xiao turned his head and saw a blood-red frog in a glass jar.
— Bubtni.
Bubtney immediately ran inside.
— Can you track them by smell?
— Woof, " Bubtney said, and took a deep breath. "Khe-khe-khe...
Bubtney cleared his throat and rolled his eyes.
The smell in the house was sour as hell.
— So what?
— Woof~!
— I didn't ask you to describe him, I want you to track this witch by smell.
— Oooh~...
— Then let's go, the rain is either over, or it will start pouring again soon, if we don't go now, we will miss a great opportunity.
With a loud crack, the wooden house shattered as two figures ran out.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
After stopping at the city wall, Su Xiao started hitting it with all his might.
*BOOM!*
With a loud crack, a section of the city wall was covered with cracks.
Su Xiao took a step back and immediately kicked it a moment later.
A large hole appeared in the city wall that was five meters thick.
The man, the dog, and the bull quickly disappeared into the night.
The middle-aged man watched with his mouth wide open.
He had never even thought that humans could be so powerful.
----
20 kilometers from the city.
A beast with a horn on its head was running fast, splashing mud in all directions.
On the back of the beast was a woman wearing a black hat and a black robe.
