Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 752: The Witch Hunt Begins

"It's quite well equipped." Lin Yi picked up the shotgun from his seat and played with it casually in his palm.

After fiddling with it, I discovered that according to the judgment of the Samsara Paradise, this thing can actually be considered a blue-quality weapon.

Although the structure of the gun is very crude, its lethality is almost the same as that of purple quality weapons.

Su Xiao reached out and grabbed a diamond. After looking at it for a while, he stuffed it directly into Melody's mouth.

"It's useless. I've eaten this stuff before. It's really not that useful." Melody grumbled in dissatisfaction. She only held the diamond in her mouth for a short while and then spat it out with a "puff".

The space inside the carriage is quite spacious, about two meters wide and three meters long.

After the seat is laid flat, it is completely no problem for people to lie down and rest in it.

Am sat in the front of the carriage as the coachman. In fact, he didn't need to drive the Dokens. With the witch Melody around, he only needed to give orders and the three docile Dokens would move in a fixed direction.

Lin Yi took out a very simple map. It was the first time he saw a map after arriving in this world.

This thing is definitely a strategic-level material. The Holy Healing Church has a clear rule that even if a witch hunter is defeated in a battle, he must do everything possible to destroy the map before he dies.

This map records 60% of the area of ​​Dark Crow Continent. What is even more valuable is that this is a map from 6 years ago. Don’t think that it is a long time ago. Considering the current level of technological development in this world, the frequency of map replacement is already quite remarkable.

The carriage moved forward steadily all the way, and soon it arrived in front of the city gate.

As soon as the city guards saw the seal printed on the carriage, they let it pass without saying a word. Even though the sensor crystals in their hands were issuing warnings that there was a witch in the carriage, they had no intention of stopping it.

Melody stuck her head out of the car window and winked and made faces at the captain who had caught her when she entered the city.

The next moment, a hand gave her a loud slap.

Then, the hand grabbed the back of Melody's collar and pulled her back into the carriage.

Seeing this scene, the captain's mouth curled up.

"Before going west, why don't you kill two witches first to try your hand?"

Su Xiao had no objection, so the two of them began to screen the batch of bounties closest to the Holy Healing Church.

After screening, the Burning Furnace human settlement located thirty kilometers away came into their sight and was eventually chosen by the two.

This is the territory governed by a white witch, who has to pay a large amount of taxes to the Holy Healing Church every year.

According to information provided by local intelligence organizations, there is a black witch hiding in the incinerator gathering place.

There is a reason why we chose such a far place.

If it were closer, the residents there would be directly managed by the Holy Healing Church.

Any dangerous witch would have been dealt with by the witch hunters long ago, so the two of them chose such a faraway place.

Su Xiao reached out and handed a bounty order to Melody.

"Do you recognize this witch?"

"Of course, the Feast Witch Keith, her notoriety is known to every witch. This old monster has the habit of cannibalism. It is said that her favorite food is the flesh and blood of the White Witch." Melody said as she couldn't help shivering.

"It just so happens that our target this time is her." Su Xiao said calmly.

“You don’t mean to…” Melody widened her eyes and swallowed halfway through her words. She had already vaguely guessed Su Xiao’s plan.

"No, can we start by catching something easier, like me? It's not a good idea to come here to catch a witch of the Feast's level." Melody tried to look at Lin Yi, hoping that Lin Yi could persuade Su Xiao not to make such a big deal right away.

Lin Yi acted as if he didn't hear Melody's words and ignored her at all.

He took a look at the bounty for Feast Witch Keith. Well, she was indeed quite powerful.

According to the information from the Holy Healing Church, Keith is a third-stage witch with a bounty of 128 gold coins, specializing in spells.

The enemies that Lin Yi and Su Xiao had encountered before were all elemental, but they had already experienced the attacks of the spell system in the Holy Healing Church. They were indeed very strange, but there were ways to deal with them.

It was not a pleasant experience to travel in a carriage. It was very bumpy all the way and the speed was not very fast.

The road conditions in the Dark Crow Continent were really terrible. Not only were they built very simply, but there were also few people who maintained and repaired them on a daily basis. As a result, the carriage they were riding in could not move fast at all.

They wandered along like this until the morning of the next day, when Lin Yi and Su Xiao finally successfully arrived at the Fenlu human gathering place.

Melody opened the car door and saw that she had changed into a rather cool backless dress. Her curves were exquisite and very eye-catching.

"The Burning Furnace Human Gathering Area is just ahead. Do we need to notify the White Witch Lord?"

With the temptation of gold coins, Melody has devoted herself to the work of a witch hunter's assistant.

"No need." Su Xiao responded briefly, and then asked, "How much do you know about the Feast Witch Keith?"

"Not much. She is an old woman. Of course, in the eyes of most people, she is extremely beautiful. This is a natural advantage of a witch who specializes in spells."

There was some envy in Melody's tone. The lifespan of a witch is two to three times that of an ordinary person.

Most witches can maintain their youthful appearance well in the first half of their lives, but once their age exceeds a certain limit, they will begin to age rapidly.

If the difficulty of hunting a witch is 10, then 6% of the difficulty lies in finding the witch.

Witches look basically the same as ordinary women, and it is really difficult to identify them unless you have close contact with them.

Su Xiao jumped off the carriage, while Lin Yi took out two shotguns from the compartment behind the carriage, and brought several potions of different colors.

The two of them planned to try out the effects of the weapons here on the witch. If it didn't work, they would have to rush up and dismember the witch.

The White Witch Lord who governs the Burning Furnace Gathering Area has made great contributions to the Holy Healing Church, so she has legal territory in the Central Plains.

The scale armor worn by the soldiers of the Holy Healing Church and the weapons they used were all developed by this white witch.

Not long after, several people arrived near the incinerator gathering place.

What is surprising is that the city walls here are not very high, only a few meters high at most, but the equipment installed on the walls is extremely advanced.

After seeing the three people, several soldiers guarding the city wanted to approach and ask questions, but they were stopped by their captain, who then told them not to worry.

The captain noticed the witch hunter marks on Lin Yi and Su Xiao’s hands.

When it comes to dealing with witch hunters, all gathering places and kingdoms let them go unconditionally.

If anyone dares to leak the news that the witch hunters have entered the city, it will be a serious crime.

As soon as they entered the city, they smelled a strange smell, like the smell of something that had been baked for too long and became burnt.

Su Xiao released the detection props, and a tablet appeared in his hand.

Lin Yi also put on a monocle and began to observe the surrounding environment.

After a long while, Su Xiao and Lin Yi looked to the right at the same time, as if some invisible eyes had just appeared, but this feeling only lasted for two or three seconds.

"Illusion?"

"No, it should be the ability of a witch."

In the laboratory, a witch in pajamas with a lazy look was breathing heavily. The moment she looked at Su Xiao and Lin Yi, she felt as if she was being stared at by some ferocious beast.

"Is this a white-level witch hunter? Have all witch hunters become so terrifying nowadays?"

This witch was none other than the White Witch of the gathering place. After noticing that a witch hunter had entered the gathering place, she wanted to investigate, but she was discovered by Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

"Wang."

"found it?"

"Wang."

Bubuwang suggested that they follow it, and Lin Yi and Su Xiao took the puzzled Melody towards the interior of the gathering place.

Not long after, the two arrived near an abandoned warehouse.

Lin Yi pulled out a shotgun and threw it to Su Xiao. Su Xiao held the loading part of the shotgun with one hand and shook it up and down gently to complete the loading operation.

"Wait here."

Su Xiao glanced at Melody. He was not afraid that Melody would run away. He placed an alchemical bomb in Melody's stomach. If she dared to run away, Melody would explode from her abdomen like a firework.

About five minutes later, several sword energies pierced through the ceiling of the warehouse.

Then, a huge blade flashed, splitting the entire warehouse into two neatly.

With a loud "bang", the wooden door of the warehouse was suddenly slammed open, and Melody outside the door was so scared that she took several steps back.

A ragged woman with both arms cut off rushed out of the warehouse.

Several holes appeared on her body, and black blood was constantly flowing out of the holes.

There was only one emotion in the other person's eyes, and that was fear.

Dark soul threads suddenly appeared on the woman's ankles. As the dark soul threads continued to shorten, the ragged woman fell to the ground, holding the ground tightly with both hands, as if making her last struggle.

"Save me! Save me!" The woman grabbed the ground so hard that her fingernails left several bloody marks on the ground.

Melody has also recognized the identity of this woman. She is the target of this operation - the feast witch Keith.

"Pfft!"

After the sound of blood splattering, the warehouse suddenly became silent.

The woman's arm that was exposed outside the warehouse door quickly dried up, and her skin lost its original luster, and finally became skin and bones. This was the true face of the Feast Witch Keith.

After killing the Feast Witch Keith, the two walked out of the warehouse. There was a large space underground in the warehouse. For ordinary people, it was Hell's Kitchen. Even mature adults would be scared to the ground if they entered there.

If someone were to cook the soup, he would find the scene very familiar.

[You have assisted in killing the Feast Witch Keith.]

[You gain 0.2% of the source of development, and now you gain 2.0% of the source of development in total. ]

[You gain 160 points of Holy Healing Church reputation. Current reputation: 330/100 (white level).]

[Special reputation mission: Witch Hunter (2/10). ]

……

[Hint: Hunters can choose one of the following rewards. ]

A. Gold Treasure Chest (This treasure chest has received an additional bonus, and the treasure chest reward has increased by 50%)

B. Spell Resistance (unique to this world): Increases resistance to curses and corrosive abilities of witches of the spell caster by 10%, with a low chance of immunity.

Tip: This ability is only valid in the Dark Crow World. After leaving the Dark Crow World, it will be converted into abnormal attribute resistance at a certain ratio.

……

Lin Yi chose spell resistance, and Su Xiao chose the same option.

Although spell resistance is only useful in this world, Samsara Paradise also said that this thing can be proportionally upgraded to other abnormal attribute resistance after leaving this world. This thing is very troublesome to upgrade.

"Is this... over?"

Melody went forward to check Shengyan's body. The notorious ogre witch was lying there dead. She even cried for help before she died, as if she had seen something horrible.

Due to the loud noises heard earlier, the surrounding civilians had already fled.

At this moment, soldiers wearing scale armor hurried over. After making a preliminary assessment of the situation on the scene, they quickly retreated and began to block the surrounding area, dispersing all civilians within a few hundred meters, thus forming a line of defense.

This is not to prevent Su Xiao from escaping, but to help block Su Xiao. The witch hunter has a high reputation among the people.

Lin Yi came to the body of the Feast Witch, extracted blood and palm prints from the body, and picked up a few pieces of black crystals. With only these three items, he could prove that he had killed the Feast Witch Keith.

"Your reward."

Su Xiao threw a small bag of gold coins to Melody. Compared with verbal promises, heavy gold coins are often more motivating.

It was indeed the case. Melody smiled brightly and stuffed the bag of gold coins into her arms.

"There should be some valuables in Shengyan's residence. Leave them to me."

Melody ran quickly into the warehouse. Not far away, Bubuwang showed a wicked smile. When it entered the lair of the Feast Witch, the scene inside almost made it vomit everything in its stomach.

five minutes later.

"Ugh~"

Melody bent down, holding the wall with one hand and pressing the other hand tightly against her chest. Tears as big as beans kept rolling down her cheeks, which was caused by severe retching.

"Even if it's... a black witch, the feast is too cruel. This guy deserves to die here!"

The scene she witnessed a few minutes ago made Melody begin to doubt her life.

There were several soldiers near her who were also retching. These were soldiers who had been to the battlefield. One could imagine how horrifying the scene inside the feast's nest was.

"Mr. Witch Hunter."

A white witch with an ugly look on her face spoke. Her name was Aini Claudia, the lord here, and the big shot that Melody had wanted to pretend to be.

“This is my thank you.”

Aini Claudia handed over a wooden box. While she was speaking, the soldiers had already begun to deal with the remains under the warehouse, and the wailing of the deceased's families could be heard everywhere.

After returning to the carriage, the two reviewed the entire process of the battle.

The attack method of the spell witch is very similar to that of the perception contractor. At the beginning, people can't see where the other party is at all, and then they will find that a lot of negative conditions have inexplicably appeared on their bodies.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry to clear the negative state at that time. Instead, he and Su Xiao pretended to be unconscious and lay on the floor, thus successfully luring Keith out.

After the other party showed up, Lin Yi used purification technique to expel the negative influences in their bodies.

It has to be said that the attack method of the spell witch was indeed quite strange, but it was completely restrained by Lin Yi.

As long as the witch is not a fifth-level spellcasting witch, Lin Yi is confident that he can defeat her.

"It seems that the overall combat power of witches is mainly supported by the elemental system."

After this period of research, Lin Yi finally understood the divisions within the witch system.

The elemental witch is equivalent to the warrior role in the warrior-mage-priest system in the entire system. Not only does she have a high output capacity, but in the incarnation state, she is also very tanky and has a strong ability to resist damage.

Spell witches are equivalent to mages. Their attack damage is considerable, but once it comes to close combat, their combat effectiveness is simply vulnerable, and their attack methods are particularly strange and peculiar.

The White Witch is similar to a priest, a completely auxiliary profession. Even after incarnation, she has no lethality in most cases. Instead, she has many healing effects and can provide effective support to teammates.

After figuring out these relationships, Lin Yi and Su Xiao had almost figured out what strategies to adopt when facing different types of witches.

"Where do we go next?"

Melody got on the carriage carrying a small bag of gold, silver and jewelry. It had to be said that this woman was really greedy for money. She even ran back to the warehouse halfway through the journey and looted a lot of money from the pile of bloody corpses.

"Go straight along this road and head straight to the West District." Su Xiao spread out the map and pointed his finger at a main road leading to the West District.

……

One day later, in a deserted rock city.

Wisps of blue smoke were rising slowly from the houses that had already turned to charcoal.

When the few people arrived here, half of the city of Nickdodo had been burned to charcoal and was in a state of ruin.

Inside the magnificent hall, an old man with a sallow complexion was leaning back in a chair.

He was covered with a blanket and several servants stood beside him. The servants held various bottles and jars in their hands and fed the old man a bite of the contents from time to time.

"Master Witch Hunter, you are finally here."

The old man sat up tremblingly, but after trying several times, he was unable to complete such a seemingly simple action.

"plague?"

Lin Yi came over and checked the old man's body and found that he was not suffering from the plague, but there was something in his body that was constantly devouring the old man's vitality.

Lin Yi cast a healing spell on the old man, temporarily helping him recover some of his strength.

Purification is useless for this condition. To put it bluntly, the old man's current condition is not affected by some conventional negative condition. As long as those parasites exist in his body for one day, the old man's vitality will continue to be absorbed.

Only by cutting off the main body of the parasite can the old man truly recover.

"Thank you, sir."

After the old man felt his strength restored, he waved his hand and a servant beside him brought a glass bottle with a black beetle in it. The beetle was about the size of a soybean.

"Once bitten by this insect, you will die within 3 to 5 days. Yes, I was bitten by this little thing too."

The old lord lowered his head and signaled his servant to open his clothes. On his chest, there was a black pattern that looked like a sea urchin. The pattern looked like a black tattoo.

"I ordered half of the city to be burned down, but unfortunately, those little creatures were not killed. Lord Witch Hunter, no matter what you do next, please put the blame on me. Avenge my people. It must be them, there is no mistake, it must be..."

Lin Yi took out a scalpel and inserted it directly into the old lord's chest.

This action stunned several servants. They subconsciously took out their weapons and pointed them at Lin Yi.

In their hearts, the life and safety of the old lord is undoubtedly the most important thing, and there can be no room for any mistakes.

At this tense moment, the old lord waved his hand, signaling his servants not to attack Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned the scalpel and dug out an egg from the old lord's chest. Inside the black egg, there seemed to be something alive that was constantly wriggling. (End of this chapter)
