Chapter 322: The Book Witch and An
Is she doing better... The Black Hunter's words echoed in everyone's minds like endless ringing bells.
That gentle yet icy tone! Black Hunter, what exactly are you trying to do? The people with their heads on the ground couldn't help trembling, their imaginations running wild.
Could it be, just like the news in Witch Times said, that the Black Hunter and the witch would kidnap innocent people, simultaneously teasing and torturing them with tentacles and vines.
Then once they've broken their prey, they'd plant them in the ground.
"Come at me, my body is more suitable for medication..."
Gambler Loren gritted his teeth and said in an extremely soft voice.
"Come at me..."
Nancy, with her head on the ground, struggled to suppress her inexplicable excitement and shame, letting fear dominate her brain's center.
At this moment, should I get up and take a look at the Flower Witch... Nancy was utterly conflicted.
Although it was just her speculation, the timing of the Flower Witch's appearance completely coincided with the young lady of the Canary family's escape.There was a certain probability that the Flower Witch was from the same family as her, and her status should be far above Nancy's.
However, under various worries, neither Nancy nor Loren could voice their true thoughts.
What are they talking about? Chen Qi ignored the two and looked at Fen.
Fen slowly removed the potion bottle from An's mouth and shook her head:
"Her body is already shattered..."
Shattered? Chen Qi frowned.
Fen continued:
"Moreover, there's a special glowing spiritual energy remaining in her body. This spiritual energy is slowly forming new rifts. This is Light Gap disease, a mutation that's considered 'incurable' even for legends..."
Incurable... Chen Qi walked over, crouched down, and examined An at this moment.
An lay on Fen's lap, her white hair spread quietly on the ground, her arms covered in blood and gaps, her expression extremely painful. Her lips moved slightly, as if she still hadn't emerged from the nightmare of the 'Black Hunter.'
Embracing the power of the 'Magic Net' had made her body pay an unprecedented price!
Too many powerful Transcendents in this world died from 'mutations' and 'diseases.'
Fen took out bandages and gently performed a simple dressing.
She sighed:
"I'm just an alchemist. My potions can't completely cure her. She needs a real doctor. If she doesn't get help from a great physician within a month, she will definitely die..."
"Even if she receives treatment, if the root cause isn't addressed, she will still die within three months..."
"..."
Chen Qi remained silent for a moment.
Unlike Fen, in his eyes, An's condition hadn't reached the point of being 'incurable.'
An herself had received cultivation from the Disaster Messenger, leader of the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau. Moreover, although she was injured in this battle, she had also comprehended a new realm.
After experiencing the infinite spiritual energy of the 'Magic Net,' An's control over spiritual energy would advance further. This was an unparalleled talent.
However, An's injuries were more severe than I imagined.
Can the Disaster Messenger really solve An's problem?
The sea breeze blew gently... Chen Qi fell into thought.
The source of An's power came from the 'Magic Net,' the 'Magic Net'...
Suddenly, Chen Qi remembered something.
As the main storyline of the White Tower Federation, many powerful figures in the Federation cared about Magic Net incidents.
The ultimate fate of most people mutated by the Magic Net was to destroy everything before them after mutation, eventually having their bodies completely disappear, becoming part of the Magic Net.
Those who could survive under the influence of the 'Magic Net' were undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses!
Survivors would also become key cultivation targets for the White Tower Federation.
If these 'survivors' developed smoothly, they might even touch realms beyond legend!
Of course, at this stage, knowledge of the 'Magic Net' disaster was still known only to a few powerful figures.
Perhaps An could try to find the Book Saint who was over a hundred years old, mentioned in the Deep Sea Hunters' letter.
Chen Qi recalled for a long time. Soon, this Book Saint who stayed in the library should, because of various major world events, hold a trial election for the successor of the 'Book Witch,' gathering all talented third-tier Book affinity Transcendents in the White Tower Federation!
An wasn't from the White Tower Federation, but as an outstanding student of Book Tower University, she should qualify to participate in the Book Witch trials.
Following the normal path, under the Disaster Messenger's cultivation, An would become a great archmage, one of the powerful forces protecting her hometown against the Great Whale tides in the future.
Although following the Meteorological Bureau's Disaster Messenger was quite good, if she could become a disciple of Book Saint Aslina and become the Book Witch, her future path would be even broader!
Most importantly, as Book Saint Aslina, she should be able to handle An's Light Gap disease more easily while unleashing An's potential.
However, all this depended on An's own wishes... Chen Qi thought for a moment, took out paper and pen, and wrote down information about the 'Book Saint trials' in awkward handwriting.
What are you writing for her? Fen curiously leaned over, looked at what Chen Qi was writing, bit her lip, and little question-mark-shaped white flowers and angry little red flowers sprouted from her head.
Damn riddler!
Fen didn't know much about this incident. She only knew that An and Chen Qi were acquainted.
In Fen's mind, An and Chen Qi were very likely special operatives of the mysterious organization White Pigeon Press!
It's just that due to certain circumstances, they had to fight separately.
Although she had many questions, she chose not to ask in front of so many people.
I'll ask when we get back. If he doesn't answer, I'll ask after drugging him. If that doesn't work, I'll tie him up and torture him. I am a legendary-tier witch after all, I should dare to use some witch methods... Fen thought silently to herself.
What else should I write? Chen Qi could vaguely sense that An seemed to have fallen into some misunderstandings because of his disappearance.
These misunderstandings far exceeded his expectations.
The previous series of events happened too suddenly, and he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell An his identity.
Now, perhaps I should tell An who I am.
I wonder how An, as an excellent bounty hunter, elite of the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau, beginner mentor of Damarro Town, and sea beast-hating protector, would view me if she knew I was the Black Hunter...
Chen Qi struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately wrote information hinting at his identity as the Black Hunter on the note.
Only An should be able to understand this information... After finishing the note, Chen Qi found a hidden compartment in An's staff and slipped it inside.
When An casts spells again, she should discover this note.
Barring accidents, he and An wouldn't see each other again for a long time.
Moreover, given his current situation, even if his 'newbie from Damarro Town' cover was exposed, it wouldn't matter much anymore.
Fen took out a blanket and gently laid the injured An down.
After handling these matters, Chen Qi stood up and clapped his hands.
It was time to leave. The aura from the Magic Net rift was strong enough to penetrate the shallow layers of the Fog Sea.
With Loren still on the ship, they shouldn't encounter too much danger in the shallow layers.
However, before leaving, he had one very important thing to do.
"Loren."
Chen Qi turned around and smiled slightly.
As expected, all gambling comes with a price... Loren shuddered all over. He lowered his head and pushed out his precious Backpack Card.
Drip! Drip! The sea breeze blew gently.
Three seconds later, Loren abandoned any hope of luck and pushed out the mirror he had borrowed from under his knee.
In that instant, Fen's eyes widened, and excited little yellow flowers sprouted from her head!
She could clearly sense it - that was the relic of the Lamp Witch!
