Chapter 1543: The Person Behind the Scenes

"Cough cough cough..."

After a violent dry cough, the noble lady lying on the ground raised her head. Her appearance was pitiful. However, when she harmed this city, she didn't look like this.

Su Xiao came to the noble lady, slashed and shattered the other party's incarnation with one knife. Legendary quality, +13 reinforcement, full sharpness value Zhan Long Shan is just capable of doing whatever one wants. You know, this was before the awakening of the blade.

Squatting in front of the noble lady, the long knife pierced through the other party's lower abdomen. This was insurance.

"I ask, you answer."

"Good, good."

The noble lady was very smart. She knew that Su Xiao was not the kind of righteous person with justice in his heart. If that were the case, she would die at most. She was not too afraid of death.

"Are there other witches in the city?"

"No, there are."

The noble lady started to go into shock while speaking. Su Xiao took out a painkiller and injected it directly intravenously.

"Only the three of you?"

"Yes."

Hearing the noble lady's answer, Su Xiao frowned. Three elemental types, even if they were all third-stage, they wouldn't have the guts to harm a city.

"Who instructed you?"

"It's... Lord Mira."

"Mira?"

Su Xiao took out the wanted poster he carried with him, and soon, she found a wanted poster with a bounty of 580 gold coins.

Mira, fourth-stage elemental witch, Blood Witch, bounty 580 gold coins, once destroyed 4 human cities.

Fourth-stage elemental witch, that is city-destroying level. As for fifth-stage elemental, that is a natural disaster.

"Where is she."

"Outside the city... farm, let me... be free."

The painkiller quickly failed. The effect of this thing on witches was weaker than imagined.

The long knife slashed, and the noble lady was no longer in pain. Although there was no agreement, both of them were clear that as long as the noble lady provided intelligence, Su Xiao would give her a quick death.

Su Xiao had always been strange before. Why did three third-stage witches dare to harm a large city? Now it seemed that it was because they had someone supporting them behind their backs, so they were so fearless.

Only at this time did Su Xiao have time to check the hints that appeared one after another.

Killing three witches, Su Xiao obtained 1.3% of the Source of Pioneering. This thing is extremely difficult to obtain. Every time a witch is killed, one can only obtain a few tenths.

The talent ability Soul Eater was about to swallow 200 points of Mana, and Holy Healing Church reputation was also obtained a lot, reaching 260 points. This thing is not calculated according to the witch's strength, but what the killed witch had done. The more heinous the crime, the more Holy Healing Church reputation obtained.

【Hint: The hunter's Holy Healing Church reputation has reached 320/100 (White Tier), and you can be promoted to witch hunter level at the Holy Healing Church headquarters or any branch in any city.】

Not only promotion to witch hunter, Su Xiao also had three treasure chest rewards waiting to be chosen.

a. You obtain Gold Treasure Chest x2, Legendary Treasure Chest x1.

b. Curse Resistance (Unique to this world): Resistance to curses, erosive abilities, etc., of curse-system witches is increased by 25% (40% curse resistance already obtained; the higher the basic resistance, the more difficult the subsequent improvement).

Su Xiao originally thought it was what type of witch was killed, then what type of resistance could be obtained. Now it seems not so. There is only this type of reward for curse resistance.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao chose Legendary Treasure Chest x1 and 10% curse resistance. This is the most reasonable choice. The Reincarnation Paradise gave the reward of "curse resistance" only because he would encounter extremely powerful curse-system witches or traps during the main mission.

If it were a derivative world in the past, Su Xiao would of course not have the treatment of obtaining "curse resistance," but this time he entered the world at his own expense, and the main missions were all chosen by himself.

After collecting the blood, palm prints, and incarnation fragments of the three witches, Su Xiao asked the city officials who arrived about the farm's location and drove out of the city.

When such a thing happened in the city, the witch named Mira would of course notice it. Now it depends on whether she runs fast or Su Xiao's tracking ability is stronger.

When Su Xiao arrived near the farm one kilometer outside the city, a foul smell hit his face.

When Su Xiao entered the farm, the foul smell had reached the level of stinging eyes. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang even put on an oxygen mask.

Jumping out of the carriage, Su Xiao signaled Amu to open the way, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to scout, and as for Melodie, just like her name, just be as beautiful as a flower in the carriage.

Cow corpses were piled up in the farm. If Su Xiao didn't guess wrong, Mira used the blood and flesh of these cows to cultivate the magic version of "Black Fish Worm."

This farm had three wooden houses. Through several detection methods such as infrared, heat sensing, and sound waves, Su Xiao determined that there was no one in the houses.

Amu opened the way. With a bang, the wooden door of the wooden house was smashed, and no mechanism was triggered.

Everything in the wooden house was moved away, and a black-red pattern was outlined on the ground. This was the color after the blood dried up.

After preliminary observation of the pattern, Su Xiao could be sure that the Black Fish Worm was cultivated from here.

【Hint: The hunter has triggered a side mission.】

【Side Mission: Origin of Black Fish Worm.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 33

Mission Introduction: Find the origin point of the Black Fish Worm, destroy it, and kill the cultivator of the Black Fish Worm.

Mission Deadline: 2 natural days.

Mission Reward: Dark Crow World Reputation +2 points (Small fame), Soul Crystal (Large) x3

Mission Penalty: Deduct 50,000 Paradise Coins. If Paradise Coins are insufficient, equipment and props of equal value will be deducted.

Seeing the reward and penalty of this mission, Su Xiao decisively accepted the mission. The pattern for cultivating the magic version of Black Fish Worm was right in front of him. The difficulty of this mission lay in tracking Mira.

If he were tracking other witches without any clues, Su Xiao would also have a headache. The purpose of witch Mira creating the Black Fish Worm was parasitic eggs, and the parasitic eggs contained a large amount of life force, which was the flaw.

Blue smoke permeated from Su Xiao's hand, gradually wrapping him in it. The Devouring Core was fully opened, his vision changed, the world turned black and white, and a faint green mist floated in mid-air, spreading far away.

"Xiang Bubu, you go take the carriage and track me along the way."

"Woof."

With a bang, the ground under Su Xiao's feet shattered, and the black-red pattern shattered.

With a few flashes, Su Xiao disappeared from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's sight. The carriage was suitable for long-distance travel. When tracking, walking was clearly faster.

Su Xiao tracked the green mist in mid-air. This was a large group of life force gathered together, which left traces, or rather, this was the life force of half the civilians in Nikedodo City.

Crossing a large wilderness, three hours later, Su Xiao arrived at a settlement-style small town. Although this place was called a settlement, it was not a witch's territory. There were no tall city walls, and there was no lord.

A railway passed through this small town. There was a ticket office in the small town. Convenient transportation allowed merchants to gather here.

The closer to this settlement, the thicker the green mist. It could be seen that the witch named Mira had already slowed down. She perhaps didn't think the enemy could track her. After all, she had destroyed everything in the farm that could track her, leaving only that pattern to attract the enemy's attention.

Tracking life force, Su Xiao arrived at the town's train station. After asking the middle-aged aunt at the ticket office, Su Xiao learned that a train had departed ten minutes ago.

The subsequent tracking became much simpler. Just track along the railway. That witch took the train, which could only explain one thing: she had already started to let down her guard.

Half an hour later, a train emitting black smoke appeared in Su Xiao's sight. He accelerated and rushed forward a few steps, jumping into the railing of the last carriage. That fourth-stage witch named Mira was on this train.
