Chapter 234 The Witch's Condition
Chapter 234 The Witch's Condition
Changze and Yinchen brought the ancient book back to the royal city and told Helmer the news.
Hermi's eyes, which had been as dull as dead water, finally regained some vitality.
After hearing this, Xiaoguai and Xuanming burst into tears with excitement, and one after another volunteered to go to the sea to look for the secret technique.
Finally, after several companions discussed it, it was decided that Changze who knew medicine, Helmai who was of a powerful level, and Xuanming who had no fighting ability would stay in the royal city to take care of E Ling, while Yin Chen, Mo Lin and Xiaoguai would go to the eastern sea area.
This was not their first time here, so they were familiar with all the procedures. After finding a vendor on the coast to exchange some colored beads, they went into the water.
The ocean is so vast, if they were asked to ask everyone one by one to find this secret technique, how long would it take them to find it?
They can stay in the sea, but E Ling can't.
The sooner a suitable heart is found, the sooner E Ling will wake up, and the less torture she will suffer.
So in order to save time and effort, they went directly to the witches. The witches all put profit first, and as long as they were given enough beast crystals, they would be happy to provide them with information. If they were lucky, they might have the method of how to prepare a suitable heart.
But they didn't expect that just by asking around, they ended up finding the Nine-headed Witch.
They were a little surprised to see that the Nine-headed Witch was still alive. After all, they did not see any trace of the Nine-headed Witch when they escaped from the cave that suppressed the Siren, and thought she had died under the ruins.
But even though she had managed to save her life, the Nine-Headed Witch's condition did not look too good. There were bruises all over her body, which were obviously caused by being hit by rocks. Her originally ferocious seaweed-like hair was now completely broken, making her look like a ghost with alopecia.
How can she still be the nine-headed witch? She has clearly become a bald witch.
When the nine-headed witch saw them, her face instantly turned serious. She endured for a long time before she poured all the poison she had just prepared on them.
"What are you still doing here? Now that Qingqing is dead and your partner is safe, my deal with you is over!"
"Of course I have something to talk to you about." Yin Chen said calmly, took out the ancient book he carried with him, turned to the last page and handed it to her.
The nine-headed witch came closer to look at it in confusion, only to hear Yin Chen ask again: "Do you know where to find this secret technique?"
"Match a specific heart...?"
The nine-headed witch frowned and quickly turned her face away, "This is a secret technique that has long been lost in the sea. I don't know it!"
Yin Chen knew very well that she would not give in so quickly if he didn't give her some benefits, so he was generous and took out a large bag of beast crystals and threw it in front of her.
The nine-headed witch didn't even look at it.
"I'm not someone who can be easily bribed!"
Yin Chen took out two bags of animal crystals and a bag of gems.
The nine-headed witch looked at those precious animal crystals and glittering golden treasures, and her eyes wavered.
These things can greatly enhance her skills.
"As long as you can provide us with information, or tell us how to obtain a specific heart, we will agree to any reward you want."
"Really? It's not easy to replicate this secret technique. It requires a huge price."
"I am the patriarch of the Sirius tribe, and I can guarantee this credibility!" Yin Chen pointed at the crescent necklace on his chest and said confidently.
"Well, since you are so sincere, I can tell you."
The Nine-Headed Witch collected all the beast crystals and gems on the ground and said, "Actually... this secret technique is not completely without a solution. I, the Nine-Headed Witch, have been in the sea for many years and have received one or two such requests...
Instead of spending so much energy and beast crystals to find someone else to help you, why not take advantage of the proximity? Anyway, this is not the first time we have cooperated, so I will give you a friendly price~"
The nine-headed witch revealed her greedy nature, she was really capable of eating and taking things at the same time.
"What's the price?" Yin Chen asked back.
"That depends on how important that person is to you. Generally speaking... you should at least exchange one thing for another, right?"
The nine-headed witch glanced at Yin Chen's chest and her expression became more greedy.
The wolf beast's crystal is level 6. If she could get his heart and eat it as a tonic, it would definitely be much more useful than these beast crystals. Her body would soon be able to recover to its original strength, and even be stronger than before!
Unexpectedly, the three males said in unison:
"Okay! Use mine!"
They looked at each other, and Xiaoguai spoke first: "My level is the strongest. If you use my heart to refine it, you will definitely be able to refine a powerful heart for your sister!"
Thinking of E Ling who was still lying on the bed, Xiao Guai's eyes turned red again and he murmured, "This way... Sister will never suffer this kind of pain again. Sacrificing me in exchange for Sister's whole life being well taken care of and Sister remembering me for the rest of her life... That's worth it."
Mo Lin glanced at Xiaoguai and said, "Why are you pretending to be affectionate? My feelings for A Ling are no less than yours. Not to mention giving up my heart, I would be willing to die for her and endure all the pain for her. You are so high-level, so you should keep it and protect A Ling in the future!"
In terms of rank, he is not as good as Xiaoguai and Helmer. In terms of affection, he may not be as good as Xuanming and Changze. Sacrificing him is the most appropriate thing to do.
Yin Chen looked at the two of them speechlessly, "What are you fighting about? If either of you dies, E Ling will feel guilty and in pain. She doesn't want to see any of her partners get into trouble. You've been with her for so long, don't you even understand this?!"
Then his tone changed and became noticeably softer: "She and I are not partners, and she doesn't have deep feelings for me. I am the most suitable person to make the exchange."
The gentle yet firm tone made it clear that he was not discussing this with the two of them, but rather it was a unilateral decision on his part.
Moreover, he did not protect her well when he was in the City of Heaven, and he always felt guilty afterwards. Now he has a chance to exchange his life for hers to bring her back to life, which is worth it.
Listening to their arguments and conversations, the Nine-Headed Witch gradually realized something: "The person you want to save... is E Ling?!"
The silence and sadness on the faces of the males confirmed her words.
The smile on the Nine-Headed Witch's face gradually grew bigger. She never expected that one day she would be able to catch their weak spot.
Her tone suddenly became tough: "Since we want to save your beloved partner, then we must act without delay. I will go and prepare the materials for refining the heart now. You guys should discuss whose heart and tier crystal are most suitable to be donated!"
The nine-headed witch turned and walked into the devil's cave, almost jumping for joy.
No matter which one of them donates their heart, she will make a fortune!!
She prepared the materials quickly, and when she came out, Yin Chen and the others had obviously made a decision.
Neither Mo Lin nor Xiao Guai could persuade Yin Chen. Besides, what he said made sense. Moreover, Mo Lin and Xiao Guai had such deep feelings for E Ling that they naturally didn't want to be separated from her.
Although Yin Chen was reluctant, there was no one more suitable than him at the moment.
