Chapter 187: To Go or Not To Go

The voice of the Undying Witch stopped for a very brief moment. After the sound disappeared completely, the remains that had been pinned to the ground also vanished completely. Deya let out a soft sigh and put away the crystal cones and Crystal Sword. If it had been a large-scale coverage of White Moonlight, the Undying Witch definitely would not have escaped. The effect brought by these crystals that stored only a bit of White Moonlight was quite limited.

It could cause a significant impact on ordinary Witches, but for the Undying Witch, it was only a minor injury. If it were any other Witch, after being pinned down like that earlier, they would have likely died. Of course, when facing such a threat, the moment those Witches were pinned down, they would definitely fight back with full force, leaving a lower chance for a follow-up strike.

Returning to the side of the Flying Magical Beast, Deya looked at this unconscious creature and gently waved her hand. Several Light Ribbons lifted it up. The light slowly seeped into the Flying Magical Beast’s body, healing its injuries. As Deya left, the area that had witnessed such an intense battle, with traces of gray smoke still lingering in the air, gradually returned to peace.

After a full two hours, a large stone on the ground suddenly began to squirm. Zheng Yichen stood up from under the Camouflage Cloth and stretched his body. Suppressing the urge to tilt his head back and howl, he folded the Camouflage Cloth, carefully glanced around, and quickly ran away from the spot.

Now he just wanted to say, if only he had the guts and ten years to develop! As soon as he left the beginner’s area, he was made to face the Hell Boss. This transmigration was really full of malice. Weren’t enemies of similar strength supposed to come one by one, delivering experience gift packages…

“Hehehe~! Good thing I used to like wandering around for no reason.” Looking down at a pure, glass-like white flower by her hand, Dan Marina chuckled softly. She gently scraped her fingernail over the flower’s stem and pulled it out, roots and all.

Glancing around with a bit of caution, Dan Marina took small steps and left the area. As she made her escape, she muttered to herself. Some of the black Threads of Fate that had fallen upon her due to the Undying Witch had scattered earlier, but now one of them showed signs of tightening again. This was not a good sign.

The most likely possibility was that the Undying Witch had encountered the Saintess and suffered a setback, preparing to come back and cause trouble for her. However, with just this one Thread of Fate, even if she couldn’t break it directly, she could still interfere with it to some extent. Silently, that tightening Thread of Fate began to tremble violently. The trembling seemed mild on her end, but as it extended outward, the amplitude multiplied.

When it reached the Undying Witch, the disturbance caused by this trembling completely interfered with her ability to find Dan Marina directly based on the Thread of Fate’s influence. Dan Marina smiled with a bit of satisfaction. This way, the Undying Witch would waste a lot more time on irrelevant actions again.

As for the Saintess? Whether she actually fought the Undying Witch or not, it didn’t matter. Once caught in the whirlpool of the Prophecy Art, it wouldn’t be easy to break free unless she was willing to go through the trouble of faking her death for a few more years!

Otherwise… hmph, the Undying Witch’s identity exposed, the Sanctuary Church would immediately get excited as if they had taken some kind of drug. Even other factions would jump up in excitement. Back then, the Undying Witch had pretty much offended all the famous and not-so-famous factions!

The extent of her reckless actions was something even Dan Marina admired. At least when she was under the control of the Sanctuary Church, she still retained some autonomy by force, worried about sinking deeper into the swamp of the Sanctuary Church and eventually having to rely on them for stability. At that point, whether there was a Contract or not wouldn’t matter.

The Undying Witch, however, was pure recklessness without question.

Dan Marina had no desire to find out the reasons behind this. Joking aside, that woman dared to act so recklessly, which directly showed she was a crazy woman who didn’t care about consequences. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t push things to the extreme, offending everyone they could!

Even she, though not very likable, still had one or two “friends” she could talk to. To force oneself into a position where everyone isolated you, the Undying Witch was truly a special talent.

When it came to dealing with such a reckless existence, Dan Marina claimed she had a hundred ways to make her suffer all kinds of disasters without her knowing! But then again, it was precisely because of this kind of consequence-blind craziness that she wasn’t too willing to do so or offend her. After all, if it wasn’t discovered, it would be fine. But once discovered, the consequences… troublesome!

“Anyway, just three more items, and I’ll have them all.” Dan Marina glanced at the things stored in her Personal Space and nodded slightly. “After taking care of this matter… Hmm, I’ll go on vacation.”

“Damn, this place should be fine, right?” Zheng Yichen stared at a new small Town ahead. Hmm… looking back at the previous Town, it was a tragedy… Although the people from the Sanctuary Church later cleared the area, it was basically ruined. Places messed up by Witches, ordinary people really didn’t dare to go there and act recklessly, and the Sanctuary Church wouldn’t allow others to do so either.

What if the people living in a place messed up by a Witch had a higher chance of Witch Awakening?

Anyway, this world was vast and rich in resources. If one place was ruined, there were plenty more to use. Zheng Yichen felt that the disaster in that small Town was still related to the Prophecy Art on him. This made him briefly conflicted now—should he go to the next Town or not? If he went… what if something happened? He would still feel bad inside.

Not go? Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but smack his lips. It had been a long time since he ate anything salty. His mouth felt so bland it could bore a bird. The route he chose was also extremely pitiful. Along the way, he hadn’t even encountered a decent-sized forest, let alone plants that could serve as seasonings.

When his taste buds suddenly craved flavor, Zheng Yichen sometimes really wanted to mix some dirt or toxic sacs from lizards or beasts into the food he made. A dragon’s constitution meant that bit of poison was nothing special. The taste from the poison in the sac was extremely spicy. Even if it had a weird aftertaste, it was still a flavor, right?

Much better than boiled meat in plain water!

“So, should I go or not?” Zheng Yichen scratched his dragon head. His claws and Scales rubbed so hard they produced a lot of sparks. “Forget it, I won’t go.”

Muttering to himself, he planned to turn and leave. But not long after he left, a familiar Death Ripple swept past, making his body stiffen involuntarily. He looked back in surprise. The entire Town still seemed normal, but it was now shrouded in an ominous, eerie aura… What on earth was that?
