The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

“That’s a good question!”

Roy cast an approving look and then emphasized:

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

"Stop being so nagging, just tell me what to do."

"Siren" Rosario is already eager to try.

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

"Very good, we have been very happy to cooperate so far." Roy said with satisfaction: "The hunting target is on the small island in the center of the lake."

"However, before proceeding with the final hunt, I allow both of you to collect the extraordinary materials you need."

"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 you obtains the extraordinary materials, the other must stop immediately and then work together to help me complete the hunt."

"What's the point of making it so complicated, like a competition?"

"Siren" Rosario complained, but did not refuse.

Mr. Hunter said in a deep voice: "Simple differentiation methods are acceptable."

Although several people said nothing and did not look at the "Siren", Rosario felt that his IQ was insulted. He frowned and said harshly:

"I accept that too."

Roy clapped his hands like a referee:

"Then, the action begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Siren" Rosario made a splash and plunged into the blue half of the lake without thin ice. There was no splashing water, and he felt like a fish in water in the true sense.

"Are you going to give up?" Roy looked at the calm Hunter and asked curiously.

"of course not."

Mr. Hunter turned back to Joyce, who understood and took out a glass bottle. There seemed to be nothing in it. He shook it and made a clear crashing sound. It was the "Shadow Lizard Scales" he bought at the last party.

”.

Although "Shadow Lizard Scales" is not the main ingredient of the "Witch" potion, and its attraction to the Black Abyss Demonic Fish is not that strong, it is definitely more effective than sneaking into the lake to look for it.

Hunter walked to the lake, took out his dagger and broke a piece of broken ice, put the glass bottle with scales into the water, and remained motionless, staring at the water with all his concentration.

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

Suddenly I remembered a famous saying from a textbook in my previous life: The difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools.

"Siren" Rosario seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the lake, and no movement was heard, but Roy was not worried and seemed to have full confidence in him.

Suddenly, the sculptured Mr. Hunter quickly pulled the bottle out of the water and threw it to Joyce not far behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black fish jumped out of the water, about two feet long, with two rows of sharp teeth clearly exposed, its big mouth filled with the smell of blood, and its slanted eyes cocked to the sides.

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

Seeing that it was about to hit the target, the black fish suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air, and the fish's body quickly formed a thick layer of frost, and at the same time, the dagger actually turned into a ball of ice.

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

Seeing this, Roy smiled and said, "The Black Abyss Demonic Fish can create ice, but it's not that easy to catch."

"Oh, is that so?" Joyce said casually, and from 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 it hard and the ice on the dagger shattered, and then jumped into the lake, causing a large splash of water.

Before the Black Abyss Demonic Fish could run far away, he found that the human being who had just seduced him had actually entered his home court. He raised his eyes upward, showing human contempt, and wandered around Hunter.

The Black Abyss Demon Fish in the water is even more powerful. It opens its terrifying mouth and exhales a large ball of ice, trying to freeze Hunter into an ice sculpture.

But being underwater, Hunter's movements inevitably lacked strength, and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

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

This is certainly not a big deal for a fish, but at that moment, the dagger in Hunter's hand quickly lengthened and stabbed the body of the Black Abyss Demonic Fish.

It made a shrill scream that was so distracting that Hunter picked it up and threw the whole fish onto the shore.

Even extraordinary creatures must abide by the basic laws... The fish that landed on the beach were naturally left to be slaughtered by others. They were easily killed by last-minute blows and became the main ingredients of potions.

"Fire 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 people... Now he succeeded, but the result was quite shocking.

Roy knew very well that if he were in the water, he would be unable to do anything to the Black Abyss Demonic Fish, but when Hunter killed him so easily, his vigilance immediately rose to the top...

Joyce was secretly happy for harvesting the main ingredient of the potion, and reminded him:

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

In that case, my checks and balances will become a joke... Roy threw a ball of flame, hit the blue lake, and exploded with a bang.

"Siren" Rosario quickly surfaced and asked angrily:

"Smelly lion, what are you doing?"

Roy solemnly announced: "You lose."

Lost... "Siren" was stunned when he heard this. He saw the black dead fish on the shore that had been dismantled with all its spiritual materials. He also found Roy and Joyce standing together. He snorted coldly and then got out of the water.

Joyce carefully put away the "all the blood of the Black Abyss Demonic Fish" and asked curiously:

"If we make such a big noise, won't the prey on the island notice it?"

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

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

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

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

"So that's it..."

After that, Roy took the lead, followed by the three of them, crossed the lake and stepped into the island within the island in the center of the lake.

…………

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