Chapter 1576: Bring It Here

~8 min read 1,477 words

White Forest, the original site of the Mist Fortress.

The Mist Fortress at the beginning wasn't built on the mountainside, but on the outer side of the White Forest. A certain generation of the Moi family head migrated the Mist Fortress to the inner side of the White Forest for their own reasons and built it on the mountainside of a dead volcano.

The forest around the original site of the Mist Fortress was dead silent. A kind of white mist drifted here, containing trace amounts of toxins, and it was no longer suitable for living.

In the hazy mist, a dilapidated ancient castle could be vaguely seen. The damp and cold environment made this place look ghostly.

Boom!

A loud noise came from inside the ancient castle, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

Inside the intricate ancient castle, one man and two women were running away quickly in a narrow corridor. The heavy panting indicated that they were already somewhat exhausted.

"Neil, I can't do it anymore. I can't run. You guys go first."

The girl in the three-person squad sat paralyzed on the ground. She covered her chest with one hand, and sweat stuck her short hair to her face.

"Lan, what kind of stupid talk is that? How can we abandon you."

The red-haired boy in the squad stepped forward quickly and helped the girl sitting paralyzed on the ground up.

"I already said, abandoning me, you can still live. That old witch won't give up."

"No, we go together."

"They're chasing again."

Another weak-looking girl roared lowly. She was the red-haired boy's younger sister. It could be said that this red-haired boy was a winner in life; among the two girls, one was his sister, and the other was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him.

Messy stomping sounds came from behind the corridor, and one could clearly hear the sound of claws scratching the ground.

"Damn it!"

The short-haired girl Lan stood up with difficulty. The rubble on the surrounding ground floated up and shot toward the back of the corridor. After a whimper, several synthetic beasts covered in wounds charged over.

The red-haired boy's eyes revealed despair. He subconsciously glanced at a blue-black crystal in his hand. He hesitated whether to give up this thing. For this thing, his sister had gone deep into the demon's lair to steal it.

Boom, boom, boom...

Rubble flew. A humanoid synthetic beast smashed through the wall. Its muscles were knotted, and one could still see the traces of stitches on its face.

"No way, Fourth-Tier synthetic beasts are chasing too."

"What to do, what to do."

The weak-looking girl was very anxious, but facing a Fourth-Tier synthetic beast, she was at most an after-dinner snack.

"Escape underground."

The short-haired girl Lan shouted. The red-haired boy beside her was stunned for a moment, then thought of what was going on.

The red-haired boy gripped the short stick in his hand tightly. Golden patterns climbed onto his face. At this moment, his aura clearly improved by a large margin.

With a loud "boom," the ground of the corridor was smashed by the red-haired boy, and the three of them fell into the rubble. These three people escaping into the ancient castle was a helpless move. If they were in the White Forest, they would have long since been caught up by the countless synthetic beasts.

The red-haired boy and the others had just fallen into the pit below when that humanoid synthetic beast charged over.

"Roar!!"

The synthetic beast was clearly already furious. At this moment, a gaunt figure walked out from the shadows of the corridor. Her hair was gray and white. Although old, her aura was sharp, giving people a sinister feeling. Judging from the somewhat masculine appearance, some would even believe she was an old man.

"Strange."

The old witch looked at the pit in front of her. As a Fifth-Tier elemental witch, catching a few little thieves should have been a piece of cake, but for some reason, every time she was about to succeed, it would be interrupted by accidents.

"Time dragged too long, the Lord will be dissatisfied. The game ends here."

Cyan light radiated from the old witch's hand, and a long-handled trident appeared in her hand. Wind elements surged.

The old witch leaped into the pit with light steps. As soon as she landed, she suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Boom, boom, boom...

Rubble collapsed, dust splashed. The three men and women in the underground passage covered their heads with their hands. Behind them, it seemed like some wild beast was chasing. The situation was critical to the extreme.

A piece of rubble wrapped in wind elements broke through the air, stirring up layers of air waves in the air.

With a "bang," the rubble smashed into the back of the short-haired girl. Her back was clearly dented, and she fell to the ground with a "plop."

The girl Lan fell. The red-haired boy and the weak-looking girl naturally couldn't ignore her. Therefore, the red-haired boy could only carry the short-haired girl on his back and continue to escape forward.

A wild wind struck, and the smoke and dust in the surroundings were blown away.

"Haven't been active for a long time. It's not bad to be active occasionally, just didn't expect to have to get serious."

The old witch stepped forward. The trident in her hand scraped across the wall, leaving deep scratches.

At this time, the red-haired boy and the others had escaped a short distance. By now, he was completely desperate in his heart. Behind him was a Fifth-Tier witch plus a large group of synthetic beasts, and in front was an underground passage whose end was unknown. What was even worse was that the short-haired girl on his back was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

At this moment, the red-haired boy who was running for his life heard strange noises from above.

Zing, zing, zing...

Blades of energy pierced through the wall above. The red-haired boy stopped his footsteps abruptly. He could determine that if he were slashed by these energy blades, he would definitely die, and be torn to pieces.

A large amount of rubble smashed down from the ceiling, and a figure also jumped down at the same time, the black hem of his clothes hunting in the wind.

"This time... what is it again."

The red-haired boy spoke with a trembling voice and retreated a few steps. The old witch behind him suddenly appeared.

Surrounded from front and back, the red-haired boy's younger sister, the weak-looking girl, couldn't help but moan, sitting on the ground. This time, she was completely desperate.

"Seems... a bit wrong."

The red-haired boy looked forward with the help of the faint light. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes revealed wild joy.

"Are you that Witch Hunter from the Aoshan Kingdom?"

The boy seemed somewhat disbelieving. In his heart, a feeling arose that fate was wonderfully coincidental. Behind him was a witch, and the Witch Hunter had arrived. Although he wasn't clear about the other party's strength, it was still a friendly combat force.

Hearing the boy's voice, Su Xiao patted the dust off his shoulders. He recognized this boy; the other party was precisely that "pseudo-protagonist" he had seen before, blessed by the power of the world.

"It's you, that's right. We were attacked by a witch."

The boy pointed to the old witch behind him. The old witch's expression was somewhat gloomy. She had wasted too much time to catch these three little mice.

"The thing in your hand is not bad. Bring it here."

Su Xiao spoke, and the red-haired boy was clearly stunned.

"You, aren't you a Witch Hunter."

"..."

Su Xiao slashed sideways with the long blade in his hand. With a "swish," a slash mark nearly ten meters long appeared on the side wall.

"Bring it here, otherwise I'll slaughter you right now."

Hearing this ultimatum, the boy's sister almost burst into tears, muttering things like "So Witch Hunters aren't good people either."

"Little mice, give me the thing, and I'll spare your lives."

The old witch behind spoke sinisterly. Su Xiao had just arrived, and she sensed that Su Xiao was not easy to deal with.

"You..."

The boy was speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he threw the black-blue crystal in his hand.

With a "boom," the ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked. Before the red-haired boy could react to what was going on, the black crystal he had thrown had already disappeared.

Bang, bang, zing!

Two muffled sounds mixed with a slashing sound. A black shadow crashed into the wall not far away at high speed.

Su Xiao landed, holding the Moi family's family heirloom in his hand. ===== CHAPTER 1577 =====
