Chapter 1586: Melody's Secret
A moment later, there was a thud and several huge rocks flew up, then Su Xiao climbed out.
Looking around, he didn't see a single living witch.
Carmen, the drunkard, and the Undertaker were quickly removing the stones. From under the rubble, the cry of a Blood Bear could occasionally be heard.
After a while, Amu crawled out from under the rubble, holding a Blood Bear in his arms.
The witches were thrown back, losing more than 60% of their strength in the process, and this is clearly not going to be easy to explain.
Carmen, Drunkard, and Mortician were only slightly injured, but Blood Bear was seriously injured. Melody, surprisingly, didn't die. At the critical moment, she turned into a bird and flew into the air.
Standing in the middle of the littered passage, Su Xiao frowned. He had killed many witches and obtained a total of 8.2% of the Research Source. As for the treasure chests, he could get them by choosing the appropriate reward, but after that, he would have to sort out this blockage.
After thinking for a while, he decided to take magic resistance. He didn't have time to deal with this mess.
[You chose magic resistance and gained an additional 8.9% resistance.
Current value: 73,9%.]
Su Xiao was stunned when he saw such a response. While he certainly expected that it was difficult to improve stability when there was already a solid amount of resistance, he didn't expect that it would be such a difficult process.
Although magic resistance was only so effective in this world, after returning to Paradise, it will transform into resistance to abnormal states. From the point of view of real combat, resistance was not inferior to any good equipment, since the concept of "abnormal states" included poison, debuff, and so on.
As for the group, although they had won, there was no joy on the hunters ' faces right now, as they all knew that some white witch had predicted their arrival.
— I don't think I can hold on any longer, " Blood Bear muttered. His face was pale and his cheeks and temples were completely covered in red lines.
— You...
— Yes, I fought to the fullest.
Red lines slowly swirled around his temples, forming a spiral.
— Can I help you, or will you do it all by yourself? Carmen asked, gripping his cane tightly.
The veins in his arms were swollen.
— Unfortunately, it's impossible to kill so many people and still have clean hands. I'm sorry, but I can't help you any more, " Blood Bear said and smiled.
Melody looked at him in confusion.
The blood bear pointed the muzzle of the shotgun at its own mouth.
*Bang!*
Diamond particles flew out from the back of the Blood Bear's head, and its body fell to the ground with a thud.
Melody turned her head away and closed her eyes, subconsciously touching the warm blood on her face before looking at the man's body in disbelief.
— Have a safe journey, " the drunkard muttered and poured the white powder onto the Blood Bear's body.
With a howl, his body was immediately engulfed in flames.
— Are you all crazy? Melody asked, to which Carmen looked at her and shook his head.
— Who do you think the witch hunters are? After asking this question, Carmen went ahead.
The undertaker pulled a bolt from his crossbow and stuck it next to the burning corpse.
— Let's go.
Su Xiao glanced at the map. Now they had to split up. Their route was similar to the letter "V", and the other side of the Gate of Dawn was the starting point.
Melody stared at the Blood Bear's corpse for a while before coming to her senses and admiring the old man's courage.
Not everyone could face their death so calmly.
After passing through the plain, Su Xiao entered the forest. The trees in this forest were special. All the trunks, branches, and leaves were white, but it also indicated that he was not far from Misty Castle.
The Misty Castle was located right in the White Forest, but the White Forest was very large, although there were no wild beasts in it. All the wild animals had been slaughtered long ago, and if there was any animal to be found here, it was only raised by witches.
Usually, such animals were much superior to wild ones in all respects, although most of these animals were bred not for battles, but for territory protection.
Su Xiao, Bubtni, Amu, and Melody walked slowly through the White Forest. There was no grass at all in this forest, and the atmosphere was very cold and dreary.
— Stop, " Su Xiao suddenly said and hid behind a thick tree. Bubtney immediately disappeared, Melody turned into a rabbit, and Amu looked around and hid behind a thigh-thick tree trunk.
If the enemy wasn't blind, it wouldn't be difficult to detect Ama, as more than 80% of his body was bulging out to the left and right of that tree right now.
*Pouf*
The creature nearby immediately fell to the ground with a hole in its head.
— Can I... ask you a question?" Melody said, returning to her original appearance.
— Ask questions.
— Uhh~, you know about my strength. You brought me to the dangerous south. I'm not the only one who knows this territory. Yes, you even have a map with which you can go to the Misty Castle.
Melody wanted to ask the question that had been troubling her all along, and she also felt that she shouldn't have entered the Misty Castle with Su Xiao, or else she would die.
— I thought you wouldn't ask that question even on death's doorstep, but it seems like this thing is somewhere nearby.
Melody's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
— Tell me what you want to know
— Where is Maurice's family heirloom?
— I've already told you that I lost her, and she's probably at Mo Nora's right now.
— Really? Su Xiao asked and looked at Melody with interest.
Melody puffed out her chest, looking as if that was the real truth.
Ten seconds, one minute, two... Su Xiao just stared at Melody, and Melody's expression became more and more unnatural by the second.
— Melody clenched her fists and stamped her foot in anger after a long pause. "I did lose it, but —" Melody reached into her cleavage and pulled out a metal pendant. — I was able to break a piece of it into small pieces and kept those pieces for myself — " as she reluctantly gripped the pendant, the black-and-blue gemstone in it suddenly shimmered. — The Land of Death that you want to find isn't directly related to this thing, but with it, you can protect yourself from the cold.
— Protect yourself from the cold?
— Yes, the dagger protects you from that unnatural cold.
— … — Su Xiao suddenly lost interest in this family heirloom.
— If you want to go there, you'd better have a complete family heirloom with you, otherwise you'll freeze to death. I have nothing more to tell you. I don't want to be on the verge of dying a second time because of a curse.
— Su Xiao muttered and looked at the iron pendant in Melody's hand.
— These pieces of heirloom are now giving off heat, which means that the rest of the family heirloom is somewhere nearby, " and just as Melody said that, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the distance. — Like I said, it's somewhere nearby, probably over there. Let's make a deal, I'll give you this part of the relic, and you can take the bomb out of my body.
— It's a deal, " Su Xiao replied, and a second later, he was rushing towards the source of the sound.
If it wasn't related to the Land of Death, he wouldn't have wasted any time at such a critical moment.
Fortunately, the group of old men were still some distance away from the altar.
He decided to collect this family heirloom just in case, since it was so important.
And it was for this relic that Su Xiao brought Melody with him to the south.
