After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 758 - 521, Witch appears, team wipe_2
So, who channeled magic power into the Communication Leaf to initiate the call?
Oren’s voice was so weak.
It was practically like a dying breath, half-dead!
Kafni, Monica, and Taige also woke up, gathered around the Communication Leaf, their expressions serious.
Lin Da’s palm was sweating: "Oren, what happened on your side!?"
"Cough, cough cough cough...!"
A fit of violent coughing, as if he was coughing out his internal organs.
"Escape...
Witch.
The witch... appeared.
The plan... is exposed!
Alexander and Mi San are dead.
Lin Da.
Avenge us...!
Ugh!!!"
Boom——
A dull explosion sound emitted from the Communication Leaf.
Lin Da felt his scalp tingle.
He pressed his ear to listen, but there was no longer any sound from Oren.
He’s dead.
Oren was killed by the "Witch"!
Lin Da felt a tightness in his heart, wondering which witch acted, how the plan got exposed?
Where was Oren’s outpost, and how far was it from him?
Could the witch be within a few thousand meters of here?
If they managed to kill Oren and the others, the opponent is definitely not of the Light Rank.
Sacred Rank, or even Heaven Rank!
The former was manageable; Lin Da had an Experience Card and wasn’t afraid.
Heaven Rank would be troublesome!
"Witch, you should be able to hear me, right? Who... are you?" Lin Da said in a deep voice.
"...."
There was only the sound of rustling wind from the Communication Leaf.
But the person must be nearby.
If they left, the magic power would be cut off, and the light on the Communication Leaf would disappear.
Lin Da imagined this scene:
In the pitch-black night, the bodies of Oren and others lying in a pool of blood, a witch with her face shrouded in shadow quietly clutching the Communication Leaf, gazing at him through the distant void.
A chilling murderous aura seeped out from the Leaf.
Lin Da remained fully alert, casting Verdant Shield on himself, ready for battle.
The silence stretched on for nearly a minute.
Finally, a hoarse female voice echoed from the Communication Leaf.
"I’m disappointed in you... brother."
"So it really is you."
Suppressing the excitement within him, Lin Da took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Hearing Oren mention the word "witch," he already had his suspicions.
But truly getting the answer, his blood still surged uncontrollably.
After a year and a half, he finally found Lin Xi!
The Purifying Power was like an enraged beast, banging against its iron cage, roaring for Lin Da to release it.
This time, he must bring his sister back!
"Let’s meet and have a good talk, how about it."
Lin Da tried to use a calm tone.
Simultaneously, he took out the Experience Card and hid it in his sleeve.
At his current Ultimate Light Tier, using the card would definitely make him Sacred Rank.
Recalling Bailuo’s Dark Corruption and the description of the witch... that person was most likely his sister.
His own "member" battling his sister, Lin Da felt both pained and somewhat relieved.
The relief was because Bailuo had personally said that the witch was of the Sacred Rank.
That’s good.
No matter how strong the Twelve Belongings are, they are no match for the Dark Shadow.
As long as Lin Xi dares to come, he’ll knock out this troublesome fool of a sister with one punch, tie her up, and purify her night and day until the Demon King’s corruption is completely purged!
After a long silence, Lin Da feigned a lighthearted tone and said, "What, don’t you dare come? Afraid your brother will hit you?"
"Haha... Brother is still the same, your provocations don’t work on me."
A playful voice came from the Communication Leaf, "You must have guessed my level.
Since that’s the case, without full confidence, how could you invite me?
Brother is the type to go to a level 45 map at level 50, yet carries a backpack full of Life Potions.
Let me guess, is Commander Angel by your side?
I obviously can’t go over there."
Lin Da clicked his tongue inwardly.
His sister’s understanding of him far surpassed previous opponents.
Not easy to handle.
He rephrased: "What would it take for you to agree to meet?"
"In a year, at the 30th level of the Great Mystery Continent, Dragon Fall Mountain Peak. My ’friends’ and I will be waiting for you there."
On the other side of the Communication Leaf, a girl with long, purple hair, wearing black hollowed-out armor, her slender figure, with a faint smile on her lips:
"If you dare come, there’s still hope.
I will petition the Demon King to pardon your misdeeds.
——Killing Sani, Sarel the [Skeleton], third seat of the Twelve Belongings, holds a grudge against you.
He is a Law Tier Undead Mage.
If you don’t submit to His Majesty the Demon King, you too will become one of the undead army!
It was my plea to His Majesty that saved you.
Yet you hang around that red-haired brat every day... hmph!
Disappointed, really disappointed!
By the way, I’m only allowing you to bring two people to submit.
If I find out you bring more, there’s no need for a meeting."
"Wake up, don’t be bewitched by the Demons!"
Lin Da said angrily.
When they met in White Dove City, Lin Xi just seemed a bit off.
Overall, she was still his sister.
A year and a half later, she had become a full-blown antagonist.
Her icy tone was like speaking to a stranger.
Her words were filled with respect for the Demon King.
Crack.
The ice crystal Communication Leaf shattered on the ground.
"Damn it!"
Lin Da growled quietly.
"Captain, please don’t go," Monica said worriedly, clutching his clothing.
"This is clearly a trap to lure you into the Demon stronghold, going there would ensure silence." Kafni analyzed. freewёbnoνel.com
Her eyes held a hint of warning: Lin Da, don’t forget your true identity.
Though the god I serve is a salted fish, I can distinguish the important matters.
If you, the Hero, dare to run to the Demon King, we can no longer be friends.
"Relax, I’m not foolish enough to believe her words. Submitting to the Demons would probably lead to brainwashing and becoming a puppet."
Lin Da rubbed his temples: "It’s just... if I miss this chance, time will run out."
Judging from this conversation, Lin Xi’s level of corruption has become severe.
Dragging it out longer, even with Witch Purification, Lin Xi won’t return.
"The witch on the other side of this Communication Leaf is not my sister Lin Xi, her name is ’Xilin’!
Purifying the witch ’Xilin’ is necessary to reclaim my sister!"
Lin Da thought privately.
This invitation was indeed a banquet full of danger, with hardly any chance of survival.
Yet he could only attend.
The odds... might not be zero.
Regarding the Shadow of Darkness Experience Card, he kept it as a strict secret, unknown to outsiders.
Thanks to Lulu for granting him one before leaving.
"I must reach the Sacred Rank, preferably the Ultimate Sacred Rank.
Transformed, the Dark Shadow would rank higher than my normal state.
Which means, when I’m at the Ultimate Sacred Rank using the Experience Card, I’d be Heaven Rank!
The entry cap for the 30th level of the Great Mystery Continent is level 69.
Using the Experience Card to transform into a level 70 Heaven Rank Dark Shadow, no amount of Demons could trap me!
Knock out Xilin, take her away and purify slowly.
If possible, kill all the Demons present!"
Lin Da quickly formed his plan.
Increase his own rank.
At all costs, reach the Ultimate Sacred Rank within a year!
...
The death of Oren and the others drew top-level attention at the Ice Abyss.
The students’ Cultivation Bracelets can monitor life signs, and once the signals fade, the Commander of the Ice Abyss would be immediately informed.
The Cultivation Bracelets can also automatically record the surroundings at the time of a student’s death.
The presence of the witch "Xilin" thereby entered the view of the upper echelons.
That evening, Angel appeared above the Ancient Forest, halting the spring examination.
More than twenty Commanders and one Commander-in-Chief launched a comprehensive investigation into the Ancient Forest.
The specifics remain unknown.
It seems they didn’t catch the witch.
If they had, it would have been reported.
As for the war merit leaderboard, it was thusly frozen.
Lin Da, with 251 points of war merit, indisputably became first!
After spending seven days returning to the Ice Abyss.
The next day, Lin Da received an audience with Commander McCarthy.
This purple-haired woman solemnly handed him a card.
The card was a purple-gold color, with various carvings of Ancient Divine Artifacts on the surface.
Daggers, swords, spears, magic wands, battle axes, hammers... all were present.
Embossed in gold letters on it: [Ancient Equipment Voucher * Six Piece Set * Five-star]!
With this voucher, he can go to the Treasure Vault to select a set of Ancient Level equipment.
McCarthy suggested to Lin Da: to first advance to the Sacred Rank before exchanging.
Thus, he would receive a set of Sacred Rank equipment.
Lin Da agreed gladly.
Besides the voucher, he also received 50,000 points.
His total points reached 145,500!
That afternoon, Lin Da eagerly headed to the Treasure Vault.
