Chapter 1563: Return and Red Hunter

Inside the third floor of the castle, Su Xiao drank a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine, and his wounds gradually stopped bleeding. Manually correcting his ribs, his breathing became much smoother.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rarely got injured, and even if it did, it was a minor injury. This time it was really hurt quite badly. When Su Xiao treated its wounds, it howled in pain.

Su Xiao's method of treating wounds was very professional. As for the patient's feelings, the Iron-Blooded Fierce Bull Amu almost shed tears after being injured once.

When Su Xiao finished treating Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's wounds, it kicked its leg and passed out.

"She... is she really dead?"

Melodie opened her mouth weakly. She feared two people the most: Morisa and Su Xiao. Now that Su Xiao had slaughtered Morisa, Melodie not only didn't forget the fear from Morisa, but also had a trend of increasing psychological shadow.

"Obviously, she's dead through and through."

Su Xiao signaled Amu to take care of the unconscious Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and he stood up and walked toward the fourth floor.

The entire fourth floor of the castle was Morisa's living quarters, and outsiders were forbidden to enter. With Morisa's personality, the level of luxury here could be imagined.

After wandering around the fourth floor a few times, Su Xiao stopped in front of a metal door. This metal door was full of various arrays, and the center was a sun-shaped protrusion that could be rotated. If he wasn't mistaken, this thing was similar to a combination lock. After checking it, Su Xiao discovered that this thing was basically impossible to crack, at least he couldn't do it, unless he violently dismantled the door.

Su Xiao tried to twist the sun-shaped protrusion. After twisting it a few times, the metal door was completely locked as expected. With no hope of picking the lock, Su Xiao drew his blade and stabbed the door.

【Prompt: Sun Conversion Crystal has been destroyed.】

【The Hunter has destroyed the West Port witch gathering point, kill record statistics in progress...】

It wasn't that Su Xiao directly destroyed the Sun Conversion Crystal, but he triggered the defensive confinement of the metal door, which led to the destruction of the Sun Conversion Crystal.

When Su Xiao slashed his way into the door, this room of over fifty square meters was already a mess. Everything had turned to ashes, which of course included Morisa's personal property and the rare materials hoarded by West Port. With Morisa's personality, she wouldn't let outsiders have a chance to get these things.

The smell of burning hit his face. At this moment, the previous kill statistics ended, and reward settlement began.

【The Hunter has destroyed the West Port witch gathering point, you obtain the following basic rewards.】

【You obtain 20% Source of Pioneering, currently obtaining a total of 26.3% Source of Pioneering.】

【You obtain 12700 points of Holy Healing Church reputation, current reputation: 13790/100.】

【You obtain Soul Crystal x10.】

【Basic rewards have been deposited into the Hunter's personal Reincarnation Brand. The following are additional rewards, the Hunter can choose one of the following rewards.】

a, Basic ability promotion qualification.

b, Legendary Treasure Chest · Hunt x1 (2% chance to obtain items of Legendary quality or higher.)

c, Temporary extreme limit removal.

d, Curse resistance increased by 30%. After obtaining this reward, curse resistance will be increased to 95%.

……

In addition to the basic rewards, Su Xiao could choose one of four additional rewards. Reward 'a' was the most stable, reward 'b' depended on luck—it could be the highest-yield reward or the lowest, reward 'c' was temporarily excluded—even if Su Xiao's four main attributes broke through the extreme limit, at most they would be over a hundred points. Without corresponding rewards, it was unknown whether it would be strong or weak.

As for reward 'd', this reward was very interesting. After obtaining this reward, Su Xiao could almost ignore curse-type witches. No matter how weird their abilities were, the impact Su Xiao received would be extremely limited.

Choosing between 'a', 'b', and 'd', after weighing again and again, Su Xiao chose 【Legendary Treasure Chest · Hunt】. This kind of treasure chest with a unique name basically represented the highest gold content among Legendary-grade treasure chests.

Curse resistance and Master-level abilities were also very tempting, but Su Xiao would soon be able to increase curse resistance to 75%. Coupled with the control immunity effect of his Blade Master, he also didn't fear those curse-type witches.

Master-level abilities were certainly powerful, but if he didn't invest a large amount of resources, they only looked beautiful. Blade Master had already reached lv. 12, and the resources consumed subsequently didn't allow Su Xiao to tilt resources to other basic abilities.

If it were just a Legendary Treasure Chest without the word "Hunt," Su Xiao would decisively choose curse resistance.

A treasure chest appeared in Su Xiao's hand. The feel of this treasure chest was exceptionally heavy. Putting the treasure chest into the storage space, Su Xiao came to a large bed and fell asleep. Long-distance travel and high-intensity battles with a large group of witches + Morisa + Uncrowned Lord had caused Su Xiao's stamina to be severely overdrawn.

He didn't know how long he had slept when Su Xiao suddenly felt something kick him. Opening his sleepy eyes, he discovered it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang kicking him in the face.

Pushing the sleeping Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang aside, Su Xiao continued to sleep.

A few hours later.

*Tap, tap, tap... *

Footsteps came. Su Xiao's eyes opened, and he raised his hand to grip the hilt of Zhan Long Shan. There was a stranger approaching him, not Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang or Amu.

The long blade slashed diagonally, finally stopping in front of a fair neck.

"I just, came to deliver food~"

Melodie spoke with a trembling voice. She still didn't know how dangerous it was to approach Su Xiao while he was sleeping.

"How long have I slept?"

Su Xiao sheathed Zhan Long Shan. Except for this castle, West Port no longer existed.

"Slept for a long time, about... ten hours?"

"Is that so."

Su Xiao moved his left arm. The injury on his left arm was the most serious, and a stinging pain came. Although the situation was still not optimistic, at least he could move freely, and it would be fine after resting for a few days.

"What now? Continue hunting witches?"

Melodie placed the rice porridge she cooked on the bedside. This White Witch clearly didn't have the attributes of a virtuous wife and good mother; the porridge she cooked had a burnt smell, and there was scorched rice inside.

Su Xiao glanced at Melodie, then at the thin porridge on the bedside. Melodie smiled a bit awkwardly.

"The taste is not bad, at least it's quite crispy~"

"..."

Melodi's mood was clearly good. With Morisa dead, she completely let herself go. If it weren't for the bomb inside her body, she would have long since flown away like a bird, continuing to swindle and deceive.

Drinking some scorched-rice-flavored thin porridge, Su Xiao clearly felt his state recover a lot. He stood up and, after thinking for a moment, walked toward the outside of the castle.

Now that the witch hunting was completed, his ultimate goal of hunting witches was to improve his status in the Holy Healing Church, so as to consult some confidential information. With his current Holy Healing Church reputation, upgrading his Witch Hunter level to Red level was no problem.

Walking out of the castle, Su Xiao discovered that Amu had already parked the carriage at the door. After the group got on the carriage, they headed straight for the Holy Healing Church headquarters in the Central Plains area.

……

After traveling day and night for four days, Su Xiao returned to Holy Healing City.

On the noisy street, a carriage stopped in front of the Holy Healing Church headquarters. The three Dokens pulling the carriage collapsed on the ground, attracting the attention of surrounding commoners.

Su Xiao jumped off the carriage and walked toward the main entrance of the Holy Healing Church. At this time, his injuries had largely recovered. If he wanted to fully recover, it would take at least another two to three days.
