Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 049 Sacrifice

"I've basically deduced some of the information about this anomaly." Luo Xi said to the girl through the consciousness communication while running.

"This town is no longer a real town, or rather, the entire Qianhe County where we are located is no longer a real place."

"Mmm," the girl replied weakly.

"The first piece of information, which is basically confirmed, is that there will be decoys in this anomaly. For example, the consciousness-side monster you saw is a decoy."

"It will lure us into the building, where there are traps set for us."

"But I don't know why, in the beginning, when the action team went into the county center to investigate, and I went in too, nothing happened."

"I suspect that this unusual phantom might possess intelligence and know how to avoid my attacks."

"Although this abnormal phantom has intelligence, its level of intelligence is not high."

"Speaking of the traps, I once went into a church and entered a room that was locked."

"Although some terrifying things happened, I still managed to escape unharmed."

"Now that I think about it, it's possible that a certain witch's magical property was copied by this anomaly and used as a trap, but I couldn't find this magical property in our files."

"That's why I said this anomaly might have a certain level of intelligence; it only acts after we separate, but it doesn't understand the properties of magic that can restrain each other."

"This information is very important," the girl replied in the mind communication, "but unfortunately I can't share this information with everyone now."

Luo Xi didn't care what the girl said.

She just kept talking, trying to entice the girl to reply.

Perhaps fearing that the girl might fall asleep and never wake up, Luo Xi kept talking to her.

"My original plan was to go to the Xuanyu River to use my blood to enhance my perception of the abnormal and analyze where the abnormal phantom was most likely to exist, but then I encountered your plea for help."

"Although I was a step too late, thankfully I managed to rescue you."

"Although Miss Luo Xi is the youngest witch among us, she is really amazing." The girl said in the mind communication.

"I'm so powerful, I can definitely save you, so you must hold on, we're almost at the river." Luo Xi had already seen the river in the distance, and ignoring the weeds on the ground, Luo Xi's feet were imbued with magic, and she continued to rush towards it.

Rushing to the riverbank, Luo Xi cleared a flat area and placed the girl on the ground.

"We've reached the riverbank, hang in there a little longer," Luo Xi said to the girl.

"How long do we have to hold on?" the girl asked.

"It will be soon, very soon." Luo Xi had already reached the riverbank, stretched out her hand, and used magic to cut open her palm, letting the bright red blood, covered in magic, drip into the river.

Suddenly, Luo Xi's outstretched hand was grabbed.

She is a girl named Yao Yao.

The girl had already stood up, then leaned against Luo Xi. At the same time, her voice came through the consciousness communication, "I can't hold on any longer."

"You should know that if a witch dies, unusual events will occur, right?"

"If an anomaly occurs after my death, and then it merges with the current anomaly, it will be even more difficult to handle." The girl's voice grew fainter and fainter.

"So, before I die, absorb the magic in my body, or rather, absorb the abnormality in my body." The girl's hand, which had been holding hers, fell limply to her side, and Luo Xi let the girl lean against her.

"I've never done that, and I won't... do that kind of thing," Luo Xi simply put the girl back on the ground. "Really, wait a little longer."

The girl simply smiled. "If we don't pass on the information, other witches might fall into the trap, and even more people might die."

"Only by handling abnormal events more quickly can the sacrifices be minimized."

"I know that even if your blood could cover the entire county, it would still take at least 10 hours."

"I'm sorry to make you suffer this, but for everyone's sake, kill me."

"Why should I?" Luo Xi's eyes were filled with conflict and a hint of pain. "Why should I sacrifice myself?"

Where did you get this kind of value system from?

Where did you get this kind of awareness?

Whether in her past life or this one, she has seen plenty of selfish and self-serving people.

Or rather, most of the people she met were selfish.

But now, someone is about to die in front of her, just so that more people can live.

Luo Xi didn't understand.

She couldn't understand such people; they believed that everyone should look out for themselves.

This is the value system she developed through her two lifetimes.

"Please." The very faint voice that came through the girl's mind communication seemed to be about to disappear.

"What do you want to do?" Luo Xi's eyes turned cold as she asked this in the mind communication.

"You'll find out once you kill me," the girl's voice seemed to fade away, "You're a witch who's dealt with two anomalous entities."

With an increasingly determined look in her eyes, Luo Xi hardened her heart, formed her hand into a palm, imbued it with magic, and pierced directly through the girl's chest.

The girl named Yao Yao simply smiled in relief.

Unable to bear looking at the girl's smile, Luo Xi sensed something unusual, gathering in her hand just like the core of the anomaly.

A few minutes passed, and then the girl stopped breathing. Luo Xi reached out her hand.

An abnormal core that was glowing appeared in Luo Xi's hand.

Suddenly, Luo Xi sensed something unusual—an abnormal phantom within this unusual event.

It was very subtle and faint; it disappeared in an instant.

Luo Xi remained expressionless, ignoring the blood on her hands, and swallowed the abnormal core left behind by Yao Yao in one gulp.

The anomalous phantom that caused this unusual event is in fear of all witches, and Luo Xi already knows this.

Silently sitting cross-legged, Luo Xi silently controlled the abnormal core she had swallowed, directing it directly towards the three magical vortexes.

The three magical vortexes were disturbed by the external force and actually started to riot.

Luo Xi just sneered and punched herself hard in the stomach.

The cyclones, remarkably humane, dared not riot again and actually merged back together steadily.

A cyclone larger than the previous three has appeared.

A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Luo Xi's mouth, from when she had just smashed herself with all her might.

She has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!

Level 4 of Qi Refining (Witch Version)!

Looking back at the girl, Luo Xi gently used her magic to dig a pit and buried the girl, who had a relieved smile on her face. Throughout the process, Luo Xi remained expressionless.

When I attain enlightenment and reach the state of Hunyuan, I will cross the river of time and come to retrieve you.

With an increasingly determined look in her eyes, Luo Xi began to carefully sense her own magic power and its characteristics.

Consciousness interference.

That's right, what was a magical property of consciousness communication in Yao Yao became consciousness interference in Luo Xi.

Like her sister Luo Xin, whose magical property is shattering, hers is cutting.

As magic surged forth, Luo Xi activated the characteristic of consciousness interference, directly creating a consciousness broadcast.

A voice came through the consciousness broadcast.

"I am Luo Xi."

"I'll lead you to resolve this unusual incident!"
