Chapter 3796: Chance Encounter

Five bounties lay before him. The first was "Witch Heart-Seeker," which required the killing of three Supreme-level mad witches. If one were to measure the number of Supreme-level powerhouses in other Transcendent/Native Worlds based on the number of powerhouses in the Wind Sea Continent, this bounty should not be accepted.

The number of powerhouses in the Wind Sea Continent is misleading. The Beastkin and Sea Tribes there had been at war ever since they successfully resisted the Abyss invasion, and even after Su Xiao fought the Old Beast King and defeated him, the chaotic war between the Beastkin and Sea Tribes continued unabated.

Su Xiao had been to many worlds, but the Wind Sea Continent was the only one where, despite having the conditions for Zerg development, he dared not let the Zerg swarm. Before the Zerg could develop to their peak, either the Beastkin or the Sea Tribes could wipe them out.

Given the chaotic warfare of the Wind Sea Continent, powerhouses in that world had only two choices: either hide in a remote area and not dare to act rashly even after reaching the Supreme level, or throw themselves into the chaotic war zone to carve out a reputation. Consequently, the active lifespan of such powerhouses was relatively short, unlike the Supreme-level powerhouses in other worlds who enjoyed long peak periods.

One thing was certain: the Supreme-level powerhouses who emerged from the battlefields of the Wind Sea Continent were exceptionally formidable. One representative was the Beastkin Knight Commander who had once teamed up with Su Xiao.

This heavy-armored warrior could both fight and tank. During the clash with the Wolf God, Xien, Su Xiao felt several times that the Knight Commander was about to lose his life, yet the next second, the opponent would sweep his lance, forcing the Wolf God back. This was the sheer toughness of a Supreme-level powerhouse forged on the battlefields of the Wind Sea Continent.

Conversely, the number of Supreme-level powerhouses in the Wind Sea Continent was dwindling, as eighty percent or more died in the chaotic war zones. Because of this, the formidable enemies Su Xiao encountered among the Sea Tribes were basically newly promoted Supreme-level powerhouses.

Another point was why the Witch World was troubled by the Dark God Sect while the Wind Sea Continent didn't seem to care. The reason was that the Dark God Sect had no desire to develop there. Both the Beastkin and the Sea Tribes had maxed-out group combat capabilities. Compared to the Wind Sea Continent, which was mired in endless chaotic warfare, the stable and prosperous Witch World was undoubtedly more attractive to the Dark God Sect.

Therefore, using the number of powerhouses in the Wind Sea Continent to gauge the situation in the Witch World would be highly inaccurate. Simply put, the Wind Sea Continent was strong in group combat, while the Witch World had many individual powerhouses and was strong in one-on-one combat.

Thus, finding three Supreme-level witches in this world was not as difficult as imagined. Furthermore, these were mad witches who had undergone "Evil Mutation."

The so-called "Evil Mutation" was the price witches paid for controlling elemental power. The witches' power system involved tempering their own mental and soul power to command the power of natural elements.

If it were before he had been to the Eternal Light World, Su Xiao would not have been able to fully understand this process of "Evil Mutation," but at this moment, his understanding of it was greater than that of ninety-nine percent of witches.

In the eyes of the witches, what they commanded was pure elemental power from nature. In fact, this view was wrong. Pure elemental power was extremely extreme and would breed various elemental existences and creatures. For instance, in the Eternal Light World, Ninth-Tier existences were as common as dogs, and Supreme-level powerhouses were everywhere.

The normal natural elemental power of the Witch World was the normal elemental power born after mixing "Extreme Dark Abyss Power" + "Extreme Elemental Power." These elemental powers were among the highest-level energies; as long as one could command them, one would possess extremely powerful strength.

Therefore, in Su Xiao's view, the witches' so-called "Evil Mutation" was actually closer to "Alien Abyss Transformation." That is, after witches gathered elemental power through mental power, they needed to shape it through soul power to unleash powerful abilities.

During the unleashing process, the witches' abilities tended toward elementalization, meaning the elemental characteristics were more active. Yet, in 100 units of normal natural elemental power, there would inevitably be 0.5 units of Abyssal energy. This trace amount of Abyssal energy basically did not trigger extraordinary reactions when a witch used their abilities. Over time, too much Abyssal energy eroded and settled within the witch's soul power.

Stagnation brought sedimentation, sedimentation led to corruption, and corruption bred Evil Mutation.

This was the entire process of a witch's Evil Mutation. As for how to avoid it, the answer was: it couldn't be avoided. The process of a witch unleashing their abilities had to be rapid, otherwise, it had no practical combat significance.

To eliminate the trace Abyssal energy within normal elemental power, one could only slowly devour the elemental power and generate a harmonizing energy within oneself. During the spellcasting process, this harmonizing energy would offset the trace Abyssal energy that would not otherwise react to the spellcasting. This power derived from devouring natural elements was called Magic Energy by the Arcane Eternal Star.

Being eroded by Abyssal energy in the flesh was deadly enough; witches were directly eroded in their souls. Naturally, there was a risk of going mad and losing control. However, even Evil Mutation had branches.

There were two branches of Evil Mutation: "Madness" and "Filth."

How one mutated had nothing to do with the witch's moral quality, but rather the strength of their willpower. Witches with strong willpower would mutate toward the Madness sequence. Such witches would become extreme, with dark and cruel hearts. Their physical appearance wouldn't change much, except that their eyes would become completely pitch black, and black spreading patterns would appear on their arms and torso.

Simply put, the Evil Mutation of the Madness sequence was actually, to a certain extent, resisting "Alien Abyss Transformation," and because of this Abyss-ification, they gained further power. Some Ninth-Tier peak witches, after mutating toward the Madness sequence, had a high probability of reaching the Supreme level. This also led some witches who had reached the end of their path to strength to make a desperate gamble and choose to actively mutate.

The other type of Evil Mutation, representing Filth, was much more miserable. Their appearance would be covered in Evil Mutation tumors, and their souls would be constantly eroded by pain and despair. After entering this Filth sequence, the outcome was generally tragic; even if they survived by luck, they became extremely deformed monsters.

Viewed this way, Bounty 1, "Witch Heart-Seeker's" requirement to "kill three Evil-Mutated mad witches," was not very difficult to complete. Su Xiao chose to max out this bounty, investing 500 ounces of Space-Time Power into it.

As for Bounty 2, "Godspeed," it made Su Xiao frown slightly. He had encountered a rule-breaker before who could turn a tracked red dot into a red line, but he had already beheaded that guy previously, after a long pursuit.

Now it seemed that the one he killed that time wasn't this Godspeed rule-breaker, but another imposter who was fast but not as fast as the real Godspeed.

Regarding this guy, Su Xiao prepared to be cautious. The bounty range was 800–1000 ounces of Space-Time Power; investing 0 ounces meant giving up on the bounty. This bounty didn't require killing, but capture—taking them alive, which was even harder.

Just as Su Xiao was about to invest 0 ounces of Space-Time Power, his Hunter permission suddenly activated. A holographic map of Moon Ring City appeared before him. A red dot was located 10 kilometers to his south—it was the Godspeed rule-breaker.

*Whoosh! * The red dot dragged a red line behind it and stopped 3 kilometers away from Su Xiao. Because this area was around the headquarters of the Night Enchantress Witches, the Godspeed rule-breaker wasn't arrogant enough to step directly into the vicinity of the Witch Guild headquarters.

No matter how one looked at it, this felt like a provocation. When they first met, Su Xiao suspected that this Godspeed rule-breaker had some means to detect Hunters, Battle Angels, etc. Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

Su Xiao's mindset remained calm, and he still decided to invest 0 ounces of Space-Time Power into the bounty, but the next second...

*Whoosh! * Except for the 3-kilometer radius around Su Xiao, a large area around him presented a ring-shaped blood color. To be precise, within the entire 10-kilometer circular hunting range, everything except the center turned blood-red, the same color as the light dot representing the Godspeed rule-breaker.

The blood-red on the map slowly faded, leaving only the red light dot 10 kilometers away. The scene just now was the Godspeed rule-breaker running through almost the entire hunting range within 1 second.

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. This time, he had to deal with the Platinum Apostle, the Priest, and the Abyssal Archbishop; there was no need to deal with this guy...

On the holographic map, with a *whoosh*, Void text composed of red lines appeared, clearly writing: "Hehe, little trash~"

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. Without a doubt, this was the most arrogant rule-breaker he had ever encountered.

【You have paid 1000 ounces of Space-Time Power to Bounty 2: Godspeed.】

Maxing out this bounty, besides wanting to catch the Godspeed rule-breaker and beat him half to death, had a more important point: the opponent's provocation was easy to guess. It was nothing more than to stall Su Xiao. This was clearly a behavior done in collusion with the Platinum Apostle.

If the Godspeed rule-breaker were a lone wolf, spending time to catch him wouldn't be worth it. But if the opponent was cooperating with the Platinum Apostle, then spending some time to catch this guy was well worth it.

For the remaining three bounties, Su Xiao chose to invest the full amount of Space-Time Power. He closed the bounty list and checked the main quest for this time.

【Main Quest activated.】

【Main Quest, First Ring: Dark Twins.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 94.

Quest Brief: Kill one of the leaders of the Dark God Sect, the Dark Twins.

Quest Deadline: 10 natural days.

Quest Reward 1: Eight-Star to Nine-Star Title Selection Chest.

Quest Reward 2: Commission Voucher (1/5; after collecting these commission vouchers, you can claim the 3.5 million Soul Coins, 100 Soul Essences, 1 unit of Power Source, and 1 unit of Vitality Source deposited by the Night Enchantress Witch Guild to the Tree of the Void).

Quest Penalty: Forced execution.

Su Xiao's current Brand Level was Lv. 93, and the upper limit for a Supreme-level Brand Level was Lv. 95. Thus, these Dark Twins were not easy to deal with; even if they weren't at the peak of the Supreme level, they weren't far off.

The rewards for this quest were quite generous. Besides the commission fee from the Witch Guild, there was also a Title Selection Chest. The so-called Title Selection Chest allowed one to choose one from several title categories before opening it. What star rating it would yield depended on the quality of the title chest and one's luck....

【Detected that the Hunter is in the Transcendent/Native World, Witch World. Your Talent Quest Second Stage is activating (this quest has a total of three stages; after completing all of them, your Law-Exterminator exclusive talent ability, Hunter Shadow, will fully awaken).】

【Talent Awakening Quest: Law-Exterminator Shadow (Second Stage).】

Difficulty Level: Lv.???

Quest Brief: Slay the "Initial Evil Mutation."

Quest Deadline: 30 natural days.

Quest Reward: Complete the second stage of talent awakening.

Quest Penalty: None.

Su Xiao had never doubted the difficulty of the Law-Exterminator Talent Awakening Quest. The first ring was to slay three of the four giants of the Lightless Temple. The current second ring was baffling. "Evil Mutation" was a price and calamity for witches; how could one slay it? And it was to slay the "Initial Evil Mutation."

Moreover, this quest brief was very "Reincarnation Paradise"—it only had seven characters in total. This reminded Su Xiao of the quest information from Apocalypse Paradise that included coordinate locations; that location and information were so detailed that it was almost as if they were handing him an automatic pathfinding function.

The situation in Reincarnation Paradise was the exact opposite. After reading the quest brief of Reincarnation Paradise, the change in his gaze was basically: solemn gaze -> thoughtful eyes -> confused eyes -> eyes gradually becoming bewildered -> eyes completely bewildered.

【Old Hunter】

Category: Title

Title Effect 1: Hunting Mark (Active), can track the target continuously through a medium.

Hint: This skill has no consumption, and each tracking can last 10–48 hours (depending on the medium). Even if the prey is in another world, tracking status can be maintained.

Hint: This skill can be used once every 2 natural days.

Title Effect 2: Ruthless Hunter (Active), without any medium, forcibly lock onto a designated target within the same world, thereby continuously sensing the specific location of this target for the next 12 hours.

Hint: If this hunt is completed, there is no cost for using this ability this time.

Warning: If this hunt is not completed, your real Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intelligence, and Charisma attributes will be permanently reduced by 5%.

Hint: The cooldown time for this ability is 50 natural days.

Title Effect 3: Old Hunter (Passive), for every target successfully hunted, this title will permanently stack 1 layer of "Hunting" effect...

When he first upgraded the 【Old Hunter】 title, Su Xiao felt that with this title, no quest would ever be able to stump him. But now, he felt that the Old Hunter's Title Effect 2 was simply not enough; it could only be used once per world, so it must be used with caution.

As for using this ability to track the target of the talent awakening quest, Su Xiao felt that it was nine times out of ten unreliable. This kind of tracking was for a single target, or rather, an individual enemy. As for what the "Initial Evil Mutation" that the talent awakening quest required to be slain actually was, he was still completely clueless at this moment. It should be related to Bounty 5: Agglomerate.

From the maximum 30,000 ounces of Space-Time Power reward for Bounty 5: Agglomerate, one could deduce how dangerous this talent quest was.

Su Xiao checked the locations of Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny through the team function. Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja were in Moon Ring City, with Xiang Bubu Wang already downstairs, ignoring various detection means and heading to this floor with his environment-blending ability. It seemed that this upgrade to the "Follower Promotion Qualification" had indeed caused a qualitative change in this ability....

Amu was in a relatively distant place, in the area north of the "Sigor River." This was not a problem; as long as he wasn't in the "Ancient King City," it was fine.

As for Benny, Su Xiao looked at Benny's location and then compared it with the holographic map. From the current situation, Benny seemed to have thrown himself into the embrace of Mother Ocean.

Just then, Su Xiao heard footsteps outside the door, high heels clicking on marble with a rhythmic *tada-tada* sound. The person stopped at the doorway and said from outside:

"Hmm, deal with it like that for now. I'll rest for a while. Don't disturb me unless there's something important."

Although the voice outside the door was calm, it had a unique charm. Hearing it made one feel at peace in their heart while also generating a sense of obedience.

The door opened, and a woman wearing a moon-white long dress with her long hair coiled up walked into the office. The earring on her right ear slowly scattered a little moonlight, and on the back of her right hand, there were very faint star patterns. Her pupils were the color of a silver moon.

Walking behind the desk at a not-so-fast pace, the Moon Witch, Serisil, sat down. She took off her high heels and placed them neatly to the side. Leaning back comfortably, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. Unlike her usual majesty, she had a bit of laziness. She said:

"Sometimes I envy loners like you."

"..."

Su Xiao, sitting cross-legged on the balcony, said nothing. Seeing this, the Moon Witch, Serisil, sat up straighter, picked up the steaming black tea, took a light sip, and said with a bit of a smile:

"I am your employer, after all. To ignore me like this, I'm so hurt. I was originally thinking of adding an extra reward after the matter is done, but now it seems, *sigh*~"

Hearing this, Su Xiao opened his eyes and said, "Madam, hello."

"As expected of you, Law-Exterminator Shadow. Close the balcony door, and let's discuss this commission in detail."

"..."

Su Xiao stood up, returned to the office, and waited for 1 second before closing the balcony door. Noticing this, the smile on the Moon Witch Serisil's face gradually faded.

"I have shown enough sincerity. What about you?"

The Moon Witch Serisil put down her teacup, and the atmosphere in the office gradually became heavy.

"..."

Su Xiao gently patted the head of Xiang Bubu Wang beside his leg. Xiang Bubu Wang chose to detach from the environment, and almost simultaneously, the atmosphere in the office returned to the previous ease.

"How cute, you dog thing."

The Moon Witch Serisil spoke gently with a smile, but hearing her words, Xiang Bubu Wang whined and muttered to himself. Anyway, this Moon Witch couldn't understand what it was saying.

"I seem to have said something offensive. This is compensation for my offensive words."

The Moon Witch Serisil took out a crystal card. Xiang Bubu Wang lifted its dog head, meaning, *This dog is very angry and will never forgive you. * But upon seeing the "1000" written on the Soul Coin savings card between the Moon Witch's fingers, Xiang Bubu Wang was a little shaken. Perhaps such a generous lady really did have a slip of the tongue.

When the Moon Witch Serisil's index and middle fingers slightly parted, and the Soul Coin savings card between her fingers became two, Xiang Bubu Wang felt that the other party's apology still had some sincerity.

The seemingly joking offense and gift were actually a mutual probing between the two sides, testing where the other's bottom line was. Upon meeting, Su Xiao didn't reply to the Moon Witch Serisil, the leader of the Witch World, because of his meditation. This was to determine how much tolerance and determination the other party had to deal with the Dark God Sect....

It seemed like Su Xiao had the first move, but in fact, it was the Moon Witch Serisil who had the first move. The transfer location she chose, at first glance, was a private place where the fragrance of moonlight permeated the air, and the invitation was quite sincere. In fact, this place was located at the very core of the Witch Guild. Once besieged by the Witch Guild here, it would be extremely dangerous.

However, this probing was wrapped in a sugar coating. If one were to see the Moon Witch's couch and her various daily necessities and start having wild fantasies, thinking this invitation had some deeper meaning, they would only be played in the palm of the Moon Witch's hand. Not to mention having ulterior motives; when they were eventually tricked to their death, they wouldn't even be given a second glance by her.

And Su Xiao's thought when being transferred here was that if he were besieged, he would detonate a "Sun Holy Sword" here, and the Witch Guild wouldn't even be able to find the tune to cry to.

After sitting down in front of the desk, Su Xiao observed the crystal pot on the table for a few seconds. This was a water pot with a strange structure; it actually used a small piece of Soul Stone as the energy supply for the spell. One could only say that although the Witch World was low-key, it was really wealthy.

Su Xiao took out a jar of Eternal Spring Water and poured it into the empty crystal pot. In a few seconds, the water boiled. He took out a bag of Maple Tea, brewed some, poured himself a cup, and also poured a cup for the Moon Witch opposite him.

"This, you are too polite."

The Moon Witch Serisil naturally knew her stuff; she recognized that this Maple Tea was stir-fried from the tender leaves of the Black Maple Tree.

"Not polite, we usually drink this stuff to clear heat and quench thirst."

"Clear heat... and... quench thirst."

The Moon Witch Serisil was a little speechless because she had never thought that anyone would describe the effect of the Black Maple Tree's produce like this.

"This is actually a bit wasteful."

The Moon Witch Serisil took a sip of the Maple Tea.

"No, I have a Black Maple Tree."

Su Xiao's words made the Moon Witch Serisil thoughtful. However, from this moment on, she no longer tried to make promises based on wealthy resources, but instead showed her sincerity in a down-to-earth manner. The probing from both sides regarding strength, strategy, and financial resources ended here.

As for the crime of harboring a treasure by letting the outside world know he had a Black Maple Tree, Su Xiao was about to reach the peak of the Supreme level and had the ability to defeat others. Everyone understood one truth: Su Xiao's Black Maple Tree was definitely planted in his private area within Reincarnation Paradise. Therefore, even if someone had the ability to kill him, it was impossible to take away that Black Maple Tree.

Moreover, for the sake of seizing treasure, was it really worth it to completely offend a ruthless character who had cleared out all the World-Extinguishing existences and World-Extinguishing tribes in the Eternal Light World?

"The reward you gave is not enough to wipe out the Dark God Sect, and to wipe out this force, you have to pay a great price."

Su Xiao didn't continue. Hearing this, the Moon Witch Serisil asked with some surprise: "Do you have a way to wipe out the Dark God Sect?"

"Yes."

"Name your price."

"The reward is not the point; the point is how much loss you are willing to bear."

"Loss?"

"..."

Su Xiao took the map from the bookshelf on the side, unfolded it, and laid it flat on the table. He drew a large circle around Moon Ring City, the Sigor River, and other areas. Seeing this, the Moon Witch Serisil asked: "We have to lose these to wipe out the Dark God Sect?"...

"No, it's that the Witch World will only have these left."

Hearing this, the Moon Witch Serisil was surprised for a moment, but after thinking about Su Xiao's actions in the Eternal Light World, she felt that the Law-Exterminator Shadow opposite her was not alarmist.

"Let's discuss how to weaken the Dark God Sect as much as possible. This shouldn't involve any loss, right?"

"Under my hands, it won't, but I'm not sure how the Dark God Sect members pushed to the brink by me will counterattack. In a while, I will help you clear out all the secret strongholds of the Dark God Sect in Moon Ring City."

As Su Xiao spoke, he raised his right arm, and Baja, who had flown out of the space, landed on his forearm. At this time, Baja still had "Hunting Vision" on, so black-blue smoke was scattering from its body.

Through the coordinates given by Baja, Su Xiao had Xiang Bubu Wang draw a special map of Moon Ring City. In less than three minutes, Xiang Bubu Wang controlled various high-tech equipment to complete the drawing.

Su Xiao placed the map of Moon Ring City on the table and said: "Of the 160 city districts in Moon Ring City, 68 have secret strongholds of the Dark God Sect. You have cleared the districts in the central area quite well, but here, here, and here, the secret strongholds of the Dark God Sect are somewhat active. Now, the members of these strongholds are probably..."

Su Xiao turned his head to look at Baja, and Baja immediately said: "More than 590 people."

"About 600 Dark God Sect members. In a while, I will start clearing from here."

Su Xiao pointed to the left side of the map and continued: "According to Baja's investigation, these secret strongholds communicate with each other once an hour. That is to say, after I clear 45 to 50 secret strongholds, the remaining ones may discover anomalies at any time. It is best to have your subordinates gradually evacuate the residents in this area, this area, and this area after I start clearing these Dark God Sect members. Have your people prepare barriers and sealing spells. After these trapped beasts are enraged, seal the buildings they are in so that the high-power explosives or energy-eroding objects they detonate cannot cause huge losses to Moon Ring City..."

After Su Xiao described the preliminary plan and explained the accurate timing of various situations one by one, the Moon Witch Serisil's only feeling was that the promised reward was worth it—too worth it!

Why was Su Xiao so professional? He had been the Iron Hand in the Black Throne Continent, the Legion Commander of the Execution Agency in the Ghost Continent, the God Hunter of the Watcher Guild in the Dark Prison World, the Legion Commander of the Containment Agency in the Alliance Star, and the Dean of the Twilight Asylum in the Shadow World. In any of these positions, one needed extremely professional means to deal with monsters and demons. A slight mistake would cause the force they were in to collapse.

"I have a few capable subordinates. Do you need them to assist you?"

The Moon Witch Serisil had initially seen Su Xiao's professionalism. As for the members of the relevant organizations of the Witch camp, witches had formed many such institutions over the years. Without exception, although they had effects, because of this kind of hunting work in the dark night, many witches suffered Evil Mutation, and such institutions gradually declined.

Such institutions formed through other power systems were not the opponents of the Dark God Sect members in this world in terms of combat power.

Now it was the combat institution of the Witch camp dealing with the Dark God Sect. The problem was that these combat witches were strong enough, but they were more suitable for frontal combat. Facing the Dark God Sect members who had maxed out their hiding and insidious abilities, they often suffered....

"Bai Ye, there is one thing I need to explain to you, see if you can accept it."

The Moon Witch Serisil took a sip of Maple Tea. Su Xiao didn't speak, indicating he was willing to listen.

"Inviting you here this time, I personally paid most of the reward, and the Starry Sky Research Association paid a part. So very few people know that you came to the Witch World. Because of some special, wonderful reasons, I cannot provide you with an identity. But rest assured, if you are caught by the subordinate departments of our Witch camp, someone will immediately go to guarantee you, allowing you to leave smoothly. Conversely, when you are about to be caught, you don't need to hurt them, or be chased. Just calmly be caught; treat it as finding a free place to rest for a while."

The Moon Witch Serisil's implication was that it wasn't easy for her to be this leader. Not to mention anything else, the three excellent successors were enough to give her a headache. Those three little girls gave her "surprises" every day in different ways, plus there was a particularly strong competitor in the Starry Sky Research Association, as well as a group of old immortal high-level officials in the Witch camp.

"No problem."

Su Xiao had no rejection to being caught by the subordinate departments of the Witch camp. When dealing with the Dark God Sect members later, the scene would definitely be tragic. If the local security officers witnessed it, plus Su Xiao's "affinity"-filled aura, the security officers, city guards, and inspectors would be vigilant the moment they saw him.

Not to mention, Su Xiao was still standing in a burning building, with blood and severed limbs all around. This level of stimulation would definitely make the security officers of this world raise their high-tech weapons and shout angrily for Su Xiao to surrender immediately.

"In that case, there is nothing else. Even if there is, it must be a small matter."

The Moon Witch Serisil spoke with a smile. Hearing the "small matter" at the end of her sentence, Su Xiao could be sure that there was some "surprise" waiting behind.

After leaving the office with Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja, Su Xiao came to the elevator, took the elevator downstairs, and left the Witch Guild headquarters very smoothly.

The street was bustling with traffic, with all kinds of vehicles. There were classic steam-engine vehicles and vehicles full of technology. However, all vehicles had to travel on the ground. There were explicit regulations for this; only personal spaceships could fly at low altitudes. Higher up was the patrol airship patrol layer. Above that, after exceeding several thousand meters from the city buildings, was the flight altitude for transport airships and large spaceships.

Walking on the street, Su Xiao didn't feel the dazzling and impetuous sense of technology, nor was there strong light pollution. Instead, the strange plants on the tops of some buildings were more eye-catching.

Walking in a bustling pedestrian street where vehicles were prohibited, Su Xiao pondered how to find the Dark Twins, one of the leaders of the Dark God Sect. This was the first target of the main quest and should be the way to grab hold of the Dark God Sect.

Just then, Su Xiao's footsteps paused. He looked to the other side of the street. Three figures were walking towards him, laughing and talking. The next second, the three of them also noticed Su Xiao, and their footsteps stopped abruptly.

Mo Lei, the Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei maintained their frozen smiles, turned around in unison, and walked quickly. After passing the corner, the three of them immediately started running. Mo Lei and Hao Mei on both sides even loyally supported the Moon Apostle's two arms, supporting her from both sides to run. As a summoner, the Moon Apostle naturally had low Agility and couldn't run fast.

In a park with beautiful scenery, Mo Lei, the Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei sat on a bench. One tilted her head slightly, one slumped back, and one supported her knees with one hand. All three were panting heavily. Mo Lei asked:

"Did... did he not chase us?"

"Definitely... not."

The Moon Apostle replied in an exhausted tone. Hearing this, the smile on Mo Lei's face gradually became happy. She said with a bit of joy:

"Doesn't the Hunter also have two legs? I don't believe he can catch up with us. And this time, the three of us couldn't bear to do it, otherwise, we would definitely beat him up. Hey! Hao Mei, why are you poking me with your hand? Let me tell you, it's just that he ran fast just now, otherwise... stop poking me with your hand, I...!"

Mo Lei was poked in the lower back and felt pain. She looked at Hao Mei, and then she saw Hao Mei's proper sitting posture, and Su Xiao, who was sitting on the side, listening to her speech the whole time. (To be continued) ===== CHAPTER 3797 =====
