Chapter 1575: Melody

One minute later, with a muffled "bang," several giant rocks flew up. Su Xiao climbed out from the rock pile. His gaze scanned the surroundings; at this time, the traces of the witches could no longer be seen.

Carmen, the drunkard, and Witch Grave were digging on the rock pile. Below, Blood Bear's roar could be vaguely heard.

Not long after, Amu rushed out of the rocks first, carrying Blood Bear in its hand.

The witches were beaten back. As the ambushing side, after suffering over 60% casualties, they fled. It was unknown how they would explain this after returning.

Carmen, the drunkard, and Witch Grave could only be considered lightly injured, while Blood Bear was more seriously injured. What was surprising was that Melody hadn't died. At the critical moment, she used her incarnation to turn herself into an eagle and flew into mid-air to avoid this disaster.

Inside the line of sky that was almost filled with rocks, Su Xiao's brow furrowed tightly. He had killed quite a few witches in this battle, obtaining 8.2% of the Opening Source. As for the treasure chests, if he chose the treasure chest reward, he would have to blow up the rock pile over ten meters thick here to pick up the chests.

After thinking it over, Su Xiao decided to choose curse resistance. Now there was no time to clear these rocks. After choosing curse resistance, the treasure chests would disappear. Although he would lose a few treasure chests, it was a helpless move.

【Curse resistance selected, total obtained 8.9% curse resistance. Current curse resistance: 73.9%.】

Seeing the prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao was clearly stunned. Although he had thought that the higher the curse resistance, the harder the subsequent improvement would be, he hadn't expected the difficulty of improvement to be so high.

Although curse resistance only took effect in the Dark Crow World, this thing would convert into abnormal attribute resistance after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise, belonging to a permanent gain. If one talked about the role in actual combat, the role of abnormal attribute resistance was no lower than the treasure chest gain. Five elements, poison, debuff effects, etc., would all be affected by abnormal attribute resistance.

Beating back the witches at the Gate of Dawn, no joy could be seen on anyone's face. That White Witch with prophecy abilities was a not-so-small hidden danger.

The group passed through the line of sky, and from here, they had to split up.

"I seem to... not be able to hold on."

Blood Bear's face was pale, and his face was full of red patterns.

"You used..."

"Ah, that's right, I used it, and I've reached the limit."

Blood Bear pointed to his temple. The red patterns had spread to his temple, forming a spiral shape.

"Should I help you, or will you do it yourself?"

Carmen gripped his cane tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"Sigh, killing too many people, there's always retribution. Sorry, only walked this far."

Blood Bear smiled. Melody on the side looked at him with eyes full of confusion. At this moment, Blood Bear aimed the shotgun in his hand at his own chin.

Bang!

A large amount of diamond fragments sprayed out from the back of Blood Bear's head, and he fell to the ground with a "plop."

Melody looked up and closed her eyes, subconsciously touching the warm blood on her face, and looked at Blood Bear lying on the ground.

"Go well."

The drunkard poured a bag of white powder onto Blood Bear's corpse. With a "whoosh," flames rose up.

"Are your brains broken?"

Melody seemed to be stimulated by something. Carmen glanced at her and shook his head.

"What do you think a Witch Hunter represents?"

Carmen stepped toward the plain ahead. Witch Grave pulled out a crossbow bolt and inserted it beside Blood Bear's burning corpse.

Soon, Carmen and the other three walked far away. Their destination was the Dust-Mud Altar.

"Let's go."

Su Xiao glanced at the map in his hand. The current route was V-shaped. The Gate of Dawn was the starting point, which was the bottom of the V-shape.

Melody looked at Blood Bear's corpse for a while. After the initial shock, she felt admiration for this old man. Not everyone could face death so freely.

After passing through the plain area, Su Xiao entered a forest. The trees here were very special; the trunks, branches, and leaves were all white. Arriving here meant they weren't far from the Mist Fortress.

The Mist Fortress was inside the White Forest, but the area of the White Forest was very large. There were no wild beasts here. Any creature seen here must be killed without mercy; those were all synthetic beasts cultivated by the witches.

The various abilities of synthetic beasts were far stronger than ordinary wild beasts, especially in terms of intelligence. Most synthetic beasts weren't cultivated for combat, but as guard dogs for the witches.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Melody traveled through the White Forest. There was no grass growing here, and it gave people a cold feeling.

"Stop."

Su Xiao suddenly stopped his footsteps, hiding behind a thick tree. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately blended into the environment, Melody instantly turned into a rabbit, and Amu looked at the surroundings and finally hid behind a tree trunk as thick as a thigh.

Amu indeed couldn't see the enemy anymore, but over 80% of its body was exposed outside. As long as the enemy wasn't blind, they would definitely see it.

Pfft.

After the unique gunshot of D-Assassination, a synthetic beast walking upright in the distance was shot in the head.

"Actually... I've always had a question?"

After resolving the synthetic beast, Melody returned to her original appearance.

"Speak."

"Eh~, my combat ability, you know it. Bringing me to the dangerous South, it shouldn't just be because I understand this place, right? As long as there's a map, it's not hard for you to find the Mist Fortress."

Melody asked the question in her heart because she knew she absolutely couldn't enter the Mist Fortress with Su Xiao, otherwise, there would be no life.

"I even thought you wouldn't ask until you died. It seems that thing is nearby."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Melody's heart skipped a beat.

"What do you want to know? Speak, I'm really afraid of you."

"Where is Molisha's family heirloom?"

"I already said, that thing was lost by me. Now it's very likely in Moi Nora's hands."

"Oh?"

Su Xiao looked at Melody with great interest. Melody puffed out her chest, looking like she was upright and unafraid of shadows.

10 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes. Su Xiao just looked at Melody like this. Melody's face became more and more unnatural.

"You..."

Melody clenched her fists. After a long time, she stomped her feet in anger.

"That thing was indeed lost, but..."

Melody inserted one hand into the fullness in front of her chest and pulled out a metal pendant.

"I broke off a small piece of that thing and carried it on me."

Melody threw the pendant in her hand, feeling very pained. The black-blue gem on the pendant flickered.

"The Land of Death you want to find has no direct connection to this thing, but this thing has another function: keeping warm."

"Keeping warm?"

"That's right. When that stone shaped like a short sword was complete, it had a very strong warming effect."

"..."

Su Xiao suddenly had no interest in that family heirloom.

"This thing is heating up, which means that family heirloom is nearby, very, very close."

Just as Melody finished speaking, a loud noise came from afar.

"I said it, very close. That might be it. Let's agree beforehand: if you get that family heirloom, you have to help me take out the bomb in my body."

"Deal."

Su Xiao charged toward the source of the sound. If it weren't related to the Land of Death, he wouldn't waste time at the current juncture. Fortunately, the Sunset Red Squad was still some distance from the Dust-Mud Altar, where the terrain was much worse than the White Forest.

Moreover, Molisha's family heirloom was actually the Moi family's family heirloom. To be safe, it was best to get this thing in hand. Su Xiao bringing Melody to the South was actually for this purpose. ===== CHAPTER 1576 =====

"Deal."

Su Xiao rushed quickly toward the source of the sound; if it weren't for the matter concerning the Land of Death, he would not have delayed time at this critical juncture. Fortunately, the Sunset Red squad was still some distance from the Dust Mud Altar, where the terrain was much harsher than the White Forest.

Moreover, Morisa's heirloom was actually the Moi family's heirloom; for the sake of caution, it was best to get his hands on it. Su Xiao bringing Melody to the south was actually for this purpose.
