Chapter 1588: Melody's Counterattack
With a clatter, the old witch climbed out of the hole in the wall.
— Who are you? — What is it? " she asked. Her face was grim. Although she had chased this group, she had mostly sent various beasts after them up to this point, after all, this was the witches ' territory, so she wasn't afraid of anything.
This group was actually amazing. Besides coming to the tiger's den by herself, she was also able to find out from somewhere about where the Moya family's relic was kept.
If they had met Mo Nora, the three of them would have died a long time ago, but they were very lucky.
Su Xiao ignored the old witch and stared at the black dagger-shaped crystal in his hand, then took out a metal pendant.
— Mo Nora is surprisingly careful, " Su Xiao muttered and clenched his fists.
The dagger-shaped crystal shattered into pieces.
— You!.. The old witch was horrified, and Su Xiao looked back at her.
Mo Nora clearly didn't see this witch as someone useful, or else she wouldn't have sent her to retrieve this fake family heirloom.
That's right, this crystal was actually a fake. Melody's metal pendant contained real pieces of the family heirloom, and as for this crystal, although these pieces and this crystal reacted to each other, this reaction was very weak. They looked similar in appearance, but their internal structure was completely different. This fake only had hints of the real relic. Only those who had never seen the original relic could confuse it with the real one.
Su Xiao looked at the old witch of the fifth rank. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to fight Mo Nora, so he couldn't spend too much energy on her.
With a loud pop, Amu jumped down and immediately rushed towards that old witch.
The old witch spread her legs slightly, and the trident in her hands shone with a cold light..
*Boom-boom-boom...*
The floor split apart with every step Amu took. Holding the ice hammer in his hands, he was at the witch's side in a second and jumped up, raising his weapon with it above him.
The veins on his arms bulged.
The old witch chuckled. Jumping in close combat was a suicidal move, unless, of course, the fighter could fly.
— Cold wind, " the old witch muttered, and waved her trident.
But as soon as she put the trident in front of her, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower back.
This sudden bite startled the old witch so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She immediately tensed up and wanted to launch a circular attack, but at that moment, three bullets flew at her, each of them aimed at different places: her head, throat, and heart.
*Boom!*
Amu's hammer struck the trident.
Frost immediately spread over the old witch's body and weapons.
The witch and Amu staggered back a few steps.
Bubtny, who was clinging to the witch's lower back, started shaking his head with all his might, causing her to gasp in pain.
The trident whirled in the old witch's hand and immediately flew towards Bubtney's head.
*Click-click-click...*
Ice suddenly began to cover the witch's body from head to toe.
In just a moment, it turned into an ice sculpture, but half a second later, that sculpture shattered into pieces.
The purple-faced old witch let out a breath of cold air and attacked Bubtny again, and just as Bubtny was about to get extra holes in his head, a cold glare suddenly flashed on the old witch's neck.
Blood splattered on the wall and floor.
It wasn't easy for the old witch to deal with Amu and Bubtni, and if you added Su Xiao to the two of them, at most, she would be able to hold out for a few minutes.
With a roundhouse kick, Su Xiao's foot immediately flew towards the old witch's head.
With a crash, his foot slammed into the wall.
The old witch's legs and arms twitched.
Her head was smashed in.
After brushing the blood off his shoes, Su Xiao picked up the legendary treasure chest from the floor. Naturally, he decided to choose a chest as a reward for eliminating a rank five witch.
The red-haired boy and his sister watched as if they were ghosts. Just a few minutes ago, this old witch was chasing them and they were about to die, when suddenly, in the next moment, her head had already turned into a mess!
— A waste of time, " Su Xiao muttered and walked past the red-haired guy.
Everything went according to a completely different scenario.
After jumping out of the pit, Su Xiao found himself in a dark corridor. This corridor was located in an abandoned castle. Looking down the corridor, he saw a row of holes.
When Su Xiao came out of the castle, Melody was waiting for him nearby with a worried look.
— So what? Melody asked, walking quickly over to him.
— Not very good.
— What do you mean? Melody asked, frowning. She thought that Su Xiao would choose to go back on her words and not pull the bomb out of her. Of course, she thought that this was very bad behavior, but given who she was, this situation was perfectly described by the phrase: "In someone else's eye, she sees a straw, but in her own, she does not notice a log."».
— It was a fake.
— So... I'll go with you to the Misty Castle?
— No, you can go, it's a deal, we're even, " Su Xiao replied and tossed Melody a bag of gold coins. He didn't need them. Although Melody didn't engage in battles, she had contributed quite a bit to the witch hunt in the past.
After catching the pouch, she staggered back, as she didn't expect this pouch to be so heavy.
— And the bomb? Melody immediately asked in an excited tone.
— What kind of bomb? Su Xiao asked in a calm tone and leisurely lit a cigarette.
— The bomb in my body that you shoved inside me! Melody's eyes were red with resentment.
— Oh, I lied.
— ?! — Melody froze in place and started to stare at Su Xiao. "You lied to me, then... There was never a bomb in my body from the beginning to this moment?
— Aha.
Melody's eyes were even redder. Now she looked like a child who had been cruelly cheated.
— I don't have a bomb in me, hahaha, you've got to be kidding…
Melody was clearly not prepared for that answer.
— I wish you to get out of the south alive, " Su Xiao replied and patted Melody on the shoulder before walking into the forest.
After a while, he heard Melody's loud shout from behind, " Byakuya, you, you...
Melody wanted to say what she thought about him, but remembering his power, she decided against the idea.
— I'm free now! Melody shouted and threw her arms out to the sides, then took a deep breath of air..
At that moment, a red-haired guy came out of the castle. There was a badly injured girl on his back and another one following close behind.
— Hey kid, you seem to need some help, " Melody said, and put on a smile that was surprisingly similar to Su Xiao's. Although Melody hadn't been able to learn his fighting skills from him, she had learned something important: she didn't have to let people understand her thoughts, and she had to be ruthless when it was appropriate.
— Who are you? The red-haired guy asked and looked at Melody warily.
— Oh, I'm a white witch, but what does it matter when your companion is dying? I can save her. Isn't that the most important thing right now, young man?
— You can save Lana?
— Of course.
— Then please save her, I'll give anything for this, " the red-haired guy said and quickly ran up to Melody. His eyes were full of hope.
Seeing this, Melody felt a little uneasy.
If traveling with Su Xiao and those old men was as difficult as being in hell, then interacting with this guy was too easy.
Thinking about this, Melody revealed her friendlier smile.
— You really are... Ready to give me everything I want?
— Yes.
— Then give me her life, and I'll save her in return, " Melody said, pointing at the boy's sister.
He opened and closed his mouth, clearly at a loss for words.
— Okay, that was a joke. I'm not a demon, even though I've been traveling with a demon for a very long time. Tell me something nice. If I like it, I'll save your young mistress.
— We don't...
— Oh, I'm not interested in exactly what kind of relationship you have here.
— Well, mistress, you are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful witch I have ever seen, I say this from the bottom of my heart, please save her, I... can't lose her.
Melody smiled. In the eyes of Su Xiao, Carmen, and the others, she was just a small, beautiful flower. If she accidentally offended any of those people, she would end up lying in bed for a few days. But now, there was such an innocent and defenseless guy standing in front of her eyes... She couldn't get one thought out of her head. If it fell into the hands of Su Xiao and those old men, he would most likely start doubting his life in just a couple of minutes.
