Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"That's a good question!"

Roy cast approving glances, then emphasized:

"According to the previous promise, I will take the two of you to find the Extraordinary materials you each need. In return, you will help me complete a hunt."

"Don't be verbose, just tell me what to do."

"The Siren" Rosario has long been eager to try.

Facing Roy's scrutinizing eyes, Mr. Hunter also said: "The previous promise is naturally valid."

"Very good, we have been working together very happily so far." Roy said with satisfaction: "The target of the hunt is the small island in the center of the lake."

"However, before the final hunt, I allow both of you to collect the Extraordinary materials you need first."

"Siren" Rosario was stunned, while Hunter was expressionless... Roy showed a bright smile and continued to explain:

"Both of you can act at the same time, but when one of the parties obtains extraordinary materials, the other party must stop immediately, and then jointly help me complete the hunt."

"It's so complicated, it's like a game, what's the point?"

"The Siren" Rosario complained, but he didn't refuse.

Mr. Hunt said in a deep voice: "A simple means of differentiation is acceptable."

Although the few people didn't say anything, and didn't look at the "sea monster", Rosario felt that his IQ had been insulted. He stalked his neck and said stiffly:

"I accept it too."

Roy clapped his hands like a referee:

"Then, the action begins."

As soon as the words fell, Rosario the "Siren" thumped and plunged into the blue half of the lake without thin ice. There was no water splashing, which belonged to the true sense of being like a fish in water.

"Are you planning to give up?" Roy asked curiously, looking at the calm Hunter.

"of course not."

Mr. Hunt turned to Joyce, who understood, took out a glass bottle, which seemed to be empty, shook it, and made a crisp collision sound. It was the scale of the "shadow lizard" bought at the last party. ".

Although "Shadow Lizard Scale" is not the main ingredient of the "Witch" potion, and it is not so attractive to the Black Abyss Demon Fish, it must be more effective than diving into the lake to find one.

Hunt walked to the lake, took out his dagger to break a piece of broken ice, put the glass bottle with scales into the water, remained motionless, and stared at the water with all his attention.

Fishing saves effort and is more efficient than catching fish with bare hands.

Suddenly I remembered a famous saying in the textbook of my previous life: The difference between human beings and animals is that human beings can use tools.

"Siren" Rosario seemed to sink into the bottom of the lake, and there was no movement at all, but Roy was not worried and seemed to have full confidence in him.

Suddenly, Mr. Hunter in the state of sculpture quickly pulled the bottle out of the water and threw it to Joyce who was not far behind.

Immediately after him, a black fish jumped out of the water, about two feet long, with two rows of sharp teeth clearly visible, the bloody mouth smelled of blood, and its slanted eyes turned upside down.

Hunt immediately drew his sword and stabbed at the fish's head with lightning speed.

Seeing that he was about to hit the target, unexpectedly Heiyu exhaled a breath of cold air, and a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the body of the fish, and at the same time turned the short sword into a lump of ice.

With the force of the collision between the ice cubes, the black fish fell into the water again.

Seeing this, Roy smiled and said, "The Black Abyss Demon Fish can create frost, so it's not so easy to catch."

"Oh, is that so?" Joyce said casually, and at a position where no one noticed, he gently hooked his right hand towards the lake.

While the two were talking, Hunter was not idle. He swung the dagger vigorously, and the ice on the short sword shattered, and then jumped into the lake, splashing a large amount of water.

Before the black abyss demon fish could run far, it found that the human being who had just tempted it had entered its home field. It raised its eyes upwards, showing humanized contempt, and wandered around Hunter.

The black abyss demon fish in the water was even more powerful. It opened its terrifying mouth and exhaled a large cloud of frost, trying to freeze Hunter into an ice sculpture.

But at the bottom of the water, Hunter's movements were inevitably insufficient, and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

However, when the Black Abyss Demonfish used its frost ability again, it was surprised to find that it had failed. After opening its mouth, no frost condensed, but was poured into its mouth by a cloud of lake water.

Of course, this is not a big deal for a fish, but at that moment, the dagger in Hunter's hand grew rapidly, piercing the body of the Black Abyss Demon Fish.

It made a disturbing high-pitched squawk, and Hunter picked it up and tossed the whole fish ashore.

Even Extraordinary creatures must abide by the Basic Law... The fish that landed on the shore can only be slaughtered by others, and they can be easily killed by a knife and become the main ingredient of the potion.

"Flame Lion" Roy's mouth twitched, which was not obvious under the cover of his thick beard.

He originally planned to use this so-called "competition" to observe the abilities of the two... Now he succeeded, but the result was quite shocking.

Roy knew very well that if he was in the water, he would not be able to deal with the Black Abyss Demon Fish, but he was killed so easily by Hunter, and his vigilance immediately rose to the peak...

Joyce was secretly happy to harvest the main ingredients of the potion, and reminded from the side:

"If Rosario, the Sea Monster, doesn't come out, I'm afraid the hunt will be successful!"

In that case, my checks and balances would be a joke... Roy threw a flame, hit the blue lake, and exploded with a bang.

"Sir-Monster" Rosario quickly surfaced and asked angrily:

"Smelly lion, what are you doing?"

Roy announced solemnly, "You lost."

Lost... "Kraken" was taken aback when he heard the words, and saw the black dead fish on the shore that had been stripped of all its spiritual materials, and found Roy and Joyce standing together, snorted coldly, and then left the water.

Joyce carefully put away the "all blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish" he had obtained, and asked curiously:

"Wouldn't the prey in the island notice it if we made such a big commotion?"

"Of course there will be." Roy affirmed, and then explained:

"When we arrived here, it had already noticed it, so it doesn't matter even if it makes a lot of noise, the island is already full of traps."

"If you don't believe me, take a closer look at the soles of your feet."

The rest of the people lowered their heads one after another, and soon discovered the thin threads hidden in the grass, which looked like spider silk.

"It turned out to be like this..."

After all, Roy took the lead, and the three followed behind, crossed the lake, and stepped into the island of islands in the center of the lake.

…………

At the same time, on the other side of the outer island, a small ship was moored on the shore. Strangely, no sailors were seen, only a man with dark blue hair stepped off the ship...
