Chapter 1549
Purple light flickered in the witch's eyes. She was currently in an avatar fusion state, and her physical stats were by no means weaker than a melee fighter.
The witch raised her fair arm, and with a boom, the surrounding air exploded. This witch seemed capable of manipulating air.
Just at this moment, a spear appeared silently behind her. The witch's cheek twitched, and she aimed her palm toward the rear.
With a bang, a figure appeared out of thin air, and a large amount of blood splattered. A Tooth Bone native had his lower body blasted apart by an air cannon, his eyes rapidly bloodshot.
"Bala Kaya (Native language: Be with me)."
The Tooth Bone native with the shattered lower body slapped the ground beneath him and lunged straight at the witch.
"Kaya (Be with)."
Dozens of figures emerged from the surrounding trees and vines. They were all looking at the Tooth Bone native with the shattered lower body. Seeming to notice this scene, the Tooth Bone native smiled.
Bang!
Shattered bones and rotten flesh splattered. The witch took a step back, and several broken teeth embedded into her lower abdomen. Although the wound wasn't deep, the mental blow was significant.
A thin, small figure rushed out, also completely pale. He rushed to the pile of rotten flesh, ate a few large mouthfuls, and looked at the witch with red eyes. The Tooth Bone native who died earlier was this child's father.
Seeing this, the witch's cheek trembled. She had always believed that the madness of witches was something to be feared, but today she knew that compared to these Tooth Bone people, witches were not crazy at all.
The child who had lost his father had no sadness in his eyes; he just stared at the witch.
"Bala Kaya (Native language: Be with me)!"
Roars came from all around the witch. The witch gave a miserable laugh; she was doomed. Not to mention a fourth-stage witch, perhaps even a fifth-stage witch would not dare to come and deal with the Tooth Bone tribe alone.
"Hu, man?"
A deep male voice came from above the witch. The witch looked up and saw a humanoid creature about four meters tall, half-squatting on a tree trunk. The humanoid creature's skin was dark; this blackness didn't look like skin color, but more like the luster of metal.
The humanoid creature leaped down from the tree with agile movements. It stood in front of the witch and looked down at her. As their eyes met, the humanoid creature's pair of pale pupils made the witch feel a sense of trembling—not fear from the heart, but from the depths of her soul.
"Strange, little thing."
The humanoid creature didn't seem very good at human language, but it was learning at an astonishing speed.
"Tch."
Looking at the humanoid creature's condescending gaze, the witch's expression turned gloomy. She could die, but she could not be disdained.
"Get lost."
The witch raised her hand. Just as she was about to drive the surrounding air to blast the humanoid creature apart, a black shadow appeared before her eyes.
Bang!
An air explosion sound came. It wasn't produced by the witch manipulating the air, but the sound of an air explosion caused by the humanoid creature.
Drops of blood splattered in mid-air, and the witch's headless corpse fell to the ground. From start to finish, she had no idea what had happened.
The humanoid creature tossed the head in its hand. Its height of four meters made it look not at all clumsy, but rather well-proportioned; its tall and strong body became its advantage.
The surrounding Tooth Bone people gradually gathered around. Several tentacles extended from the humanoid creature's fingertips and sank into the witch's head. A moment later, it tossed the witch's head aside.
"So it is a mental condensate, similar to the growth method of the Baduo tribe."
The humanoid creature's human language was significantly more fluent. Its gaze swept around, its thick toes sinking into the mud.
With a boom, an air explosion spread, and the humanoid creature disappeared. When it reappeared, it had several Tooth Bone heads in its hands. From these heads, one could see that the several Tooth Bone people who had been killed were very confused.
Two hours later, roaring flames illuminated the forest at night. Inside the Tooth Bone tribe, corpses were scattered in disarray near the wooden tents. The humanoid creature grabbed a Tooth Bone native with one hand; its stature was so tall that the Tooth Bone native could only kick its legs wildly.
"Sakaminaite (Where is the nearest human civilization)."
Hearing the humanoid creature's inquiry, the Tooth Bone native in its hand was stunned. This language was only mastered by members of the Tooth Bone tribe.
"Ptooey."
Clearly, this Tooth Bone native was a tough nut to crack. With a crack, the Tooth Bone native's head was crushed. Looking at the humanoid creature's nonchalant manner, it was like crushing a walnut.
The forest fire gradually swallowed the thousands of corpses. The humanoid creature walked through the flames unhurriedly; for it, this temperature of fire could only be considered lukewarm.
Three days later, Dark Crow Continent, west, Yage Gobi.
A gale swept through, and large amounts of sand particles slapped against a carriage, making a crackling sound.
Inside the carriage, Su Xiao repeatedly checked the map in his hand. He was very puzzled; according to the route on the map, he should have been heading straight for West Port. How could he have arrived at a Gobi desert?
"Are you sure the route is correct?"
Su Xiao glanced at Melodie. After entering this Gobi, Melodie often became absent-minded.
"Absolutely correct, that..."
Melodie hesitated. Su Xiao smiled. Seeing Su Xiao smiling, Melodie shivered. After a few days of contact, she knew that if she continued to be evasive, she would be in trouble. The last time Su Xiao smiled at her like this, he hung her behind the carriage for an entire night.
"If—I'm saying if—when we meet Witch Queen Morisa, can I avoid it? Between the two of us, uh... there's some... small grudge."
Melodie smiled charmingly, clearly feeling very guilty.
"Tell me about it."
"Actually, it's nothing much. When I escaped from West Port, you know, as a weak woman, I naturally needed travel expenses, so I stole something from Witch Queen Morisa..."
"Just this trivial matter?"
The smile on Su Xiao's face became even more 'gentle'.
"That thing... is a little important to Witch Queen Morisa. I swear, just that little bit important."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. The meaning was simple: if Melodie continued to hem and haw, she would enjoy the 'VIP treatment' of being hung upside down for a night in her exclusive seat.
"It's just that I stole the heirloom that Witch Queen Morisa's lineage had passed down for nine generations..."
Melodie felt more and more guilty as she spoke. One could imagine that with an heirloom passed down for nine generations lost, Witch Queen Morisa would definitely not just skin Melodie.
"Where is that thing?"
"Lost it..."
Melodie shrank her head. This was the part that depressed her even more. If nothing went wrong, that thing should be in the south.
"Is that all?"
Su Xiao looked at Melodie suspiciously. He had thought the other party had assassinated Witch Queen Morisa. Bubu Wang, who was listening on the side, rolled its eyes. It also thought it was something big. If it came to stealing treasures, it knew someone more professional.
As the two talked, the wind and sand outside the carriage gradually slowed down. Melodie hurriedly poked her head out of the carriage.
"Stop, West Port is ahead. If we go any further, we will definitely be detected."
Su Xiao also looked outside the carriage. He didn't see the sea, only a vast expanse of mountain ranges. However, judging from the fluctuations on the mountains, West Port had arrived.
