Chapter 67: Solomon

“What kind of treasure do you want?” Hu Feng held his breath.

The Witch Elder before his eyes was as beautiful as a young girl, but her voice was ancient and weather-beaten, giving people an unfathomable feeling. What she wanted was definitely not simple! The Witch Mountain Range, although he did not know where it was, just the name itself gave people a very bad feeling!

“Solomon!”

The Witch Elder said each word slowly, and then continued: “This is a spatial-type treasure. With it, our tribe, which has lived underground for years, can return to the Racial Divine Realm of the Witch race—the Witch Realm. Returning there, I can directly break through to the Divine Domain Realm and become eternal and indestructible! Young man, the Witch Mountain Range has nothing else, but there are plenty of Ten Thousand Year Dragon Bone Grass and rare herbs like the Turtle Bamboo Green. Could it be that you do not want to help this Holy Angel heal and let her quickly recover all her strength?”

The prophetic Witch Elder looked at Hu Feng, doing her best to tempt him. As she spoke, she took out several herbs from the Alternate Dimension inside her body and ground them up, finally adding a drop of light green liquid. Suddenly, a delicate fragrance floated through the entire Temple. With a gentle sniff, a wisp of the fragrance penetrated into every limb and bone, making one feel calm and clearly sense the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“Crystal Marrow?”

Holy Angel Taliana cried out in surprise, getting excited involuntarily. The shocking wounds on her chest and left arm, which were getting worse, actually transmitted a trace of a cool feeling under the bathing of the fragrance. After being poisoned, for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, she felt signs of her wounds improving.

“This is not real Crystal Marrow, it is merely a trace of the lingering fragrance of Crystal Marrow I collected in the Witch Mountain Range over a hundred thousand years ago!”

The Witch Elder smiled faintly, applying all the prepared healing liquid to the Holy Angel’s wounds without sparing any. The latter was overjoyed and quickly focused on driving out the poison on the spot. Under the pressure of the Holy Energy in her body, wisps of black air emerged from her wounds. A drop of high-quality Crystal Marrow was often more precious than a Crystal Vein, and Crystal Marrow was the best of the best, hard to come by even with a single drop. Although it was just a trace of lingering fragrance, it still benefited the Holy Angel, who had been tortured by severe poison, greatly.

The Witch Elder, with a face full of smiles, took the lead in showing her sincerity with practical actions. She had insight into people’s hearts and immediately seized the key point.

For Hu Feng, the Lich King, the Blackwater City deep underground was bound to be won, but restoring the strength of Holy Angel Taliana was even more urgent and important. Compared to the law of the jungle on the surface, the underground was even more dangerous. The sixteenth Step Holy Angel Taliana could be said to be the biggest trump card of the entire Lich Legion. For every bit her strength recovered, the certainty of this trip increased by a bit!

Phew…

Looking at the Witch Elder who was actively showing goodwill, the thief Cardiron, who had been feeling uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Tree Demon beside him was no exception; the tree roots that had been standing up like bayonets shrank back into his body and disappeared.

The Harpy Witches outside the Temple had limited strength and could not stop the footsteps of the group at all; however, there were simply too many of them to kill them all. If the Witch Elder before them ordered a fight to the death and personally intercepted them, it might have been difficult for everyone to escape, let alone clear the main road hundreds of miles long and lead the massive Lich Legion forward quickly.

“Alright, it’s a deal.”

After weighing the options, Hu Feng agreed immediately. However, on the surface, he relaxed like Cardiron and the others, but secretly, he became even more alert.

The more the Witch Elder, who held the upper hand, showed goodwill, the stronger the vague sense of danger became. Looking at her dark, bright eyes, for some reason, he couldn’t help but think of the two huge eyes carved on the gate of the Witch Temple. Everything revealed a strangeness that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

“Good, young man, you really have courage!” Looking at Hu Feng who had put down the Dark Magic Pen, the smile on the Witch Elder’s face became even brighter. She gently clapped her palm, and five exquisite teacups appeared in the air. A delicate fragrance assailed the nostrils. “This is Konjac Flower Tea that only matures once every five thousand years underground. One sip can increase the Magic Power of a hundred years of Cultivation. Please!”

The Witch Elder had a happy look on her face and drank the Konjac Flower Tea in her cup with a smile. A wave of pure Magic Power fluctuated in the air. Smelling the tempting fragrance, Cardiron swallowed his saliva and drank it all in one gulp, even eating the tea leaves. Suddenly, his tongue produced saliva, and a vast amount of Magic Power spontaneously arose, stronger than cultivating bitterly alone for over a hundred years. In his excitement, he couldn’t help but let out an exclamation. Seeing that he had no problems after drinking it, the Tree Demon, Taliana, and the others finally put aside their last concerns and picked up their teacups.

Crash…

With a crisp sound, the teacup in the Tree Demon’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Hu Feng spread his huge Dark Wings and, with a ‘whoosh’, appeared in front of him. Without looking back, he coldly looked at the Witch Elder not far away who had been plotting assiduously. The injuries that had tortured her for hundreds of thousands of years suddenly improved, and in her excitement, the power ful Holy Angel Taliana let down her guard; but Hu Feng, who had been secretly vigilant, dared not be negligent at all and discovered the Witch Elder’s hidden trick in time.

The fragrant Konjac Flower Tea had no problems, and the thief Cardiron, who couldn’t help but drink it first, indeed had no discomfort. However, the teacup that appeared in front of the Tree Demon Stanley was different; a trace of barely visible black air attached to the dark patterns, impossible to discover without careful attention. Whether it was the fluctuation of aura or the method of attack, it was surprisingly somewhat similar to the Puppet Ancestor encountered on Saintess Peak.

Grand Puppet Technique!

Thinking of the Puppet Ancestor’s methods, Hu Feng still had a lingering fear, as if facing a great enemy. Although he had felt something was wrong, he didn’t expect that the Witch Elder’s target was not himself, nor the Holy Angel Taliana who was the strongest, but the Tree Demon standing behind everyone! If she succeeded and controlled the Tree Demon to suddenly launch a fatal attack from close range from behind, wouldn’t that be terrible?

Hu Feng broke out in a cold sweat!

One leaf heralds autumn; after breaking through to the Peak of Tier 9 Magician, his divine thoughts were as fast as lightning, and his thinking was more meticulous. He quickly understood the Witch Elder’s conspiracy! The Dark Magic Pen drew a line in the air, silently writing a Rune, preparing to order everyone to attack this weird and gloomy Witch Elder together. Then, he would use the Great Devour Technique to swallow her down and refine all her strength and Soul.

“Hehe, not bad! Young man, I didn’t expect you to be much stronger than I imagined!” The smiling Witch Elder’s expression changed, and she suddenly stood up, laughing coldly. “However, inside the War Temple of our Witch race, you actually still delusionally think of devouring my power and refining the Soul of a Witch Elder. You are too arrogant!”

The Witch Elder, whose conspiracy failed, took action decisively. She silently recited a few syllables, and the Temple’s gates slammed shut. The ancient, mottled canvas fluttered up. Prophetic, before even making a move, she accurately spoke out the thoughts in Hu Feng’s heart; like an evil spirit who had mastered mind-reading, no secret could be hidden from her eyes!
