In Lulu's eyes, she and Kafni were people who needed to be killed to silence them and eliminate evidence. How could she possibly abandon them and run away?
Linda's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, such as Lulu being chased by an enemy, or having a stomachache and having to use the toilet, or her period starting.
Look over there!
Kaphni made a discovery and pointed in surprise to a pool of black, sticky stuff on the ground.
This thing was originally buried in the sand, but Kaphni could sense that it contained a strong evil aura.
Just like a puppy smelling poop, it quickly finds it.
Linda went over and touched the black puddle with a stick.
As a result, with a hissing sound, the wooden stick started smoking and a piece of it was corroded away!
"Hiss, what is that?" Linda's eyes sharpened.
Kaphni said, "There's a very strong, evil aura inside, belonging to the demon race. I guess... it's the blood of a witch."
"What?"
Linda frowned.
Upon seeing the pool of blood, he immediately understood why Lulu had told them to leave first.
The witch's use of power comes at a price.
Based on the bloody smell that wafted from the scorching canyon earlier, it's not hard to deduce some things.
Lulu is in very poor condition and is worried that she will be attacked by Kaphni while she is weak.
Linda's mind raced.
First, Kaphni used his divine power to sense Lulu's location, while he himself carefully reached out and touched the pool of dark blood on the ground.
If I'm not mistaken, his skill 'Witch Purification' can be effective against this kind of black blood.
If this attempt succeeds, Linda will be much more confident about what will happen next.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Kaphni was startled when she saw him touching the ominous black blood and quickly came over to stop him.
At this moment, 'Witch Purification' has been activated.
Linda's palm turned into a vibrant green, a color that symbolizes life.
The gentle light fell on the surface of the black blood, and a miracle occurred—the filthy black bloodstains, like an ugly duckling being washed by clear water, revealed their original appearance and turned into the same red blood as ordinary people!
The witch's purification is truly amazing!
Linda was immediately filled with confidence and looked at Kaphni seriously: "Find the witch's location as soon as possible, I...I want to purify her!"
Kaphni understood Linda's plan, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
The two of them worked together.
Linda couldn't sense the witch's presence and could only search with her eyes, while Kaphni sniffed around like a hunting dog, moving her nose left and right.
About a minute later, Kaphni made a discovery as expected: "Over here!"
Linda heard the shouts and quickly ran over.
“Here,” Kaphni said, pointing to a small hill.
Isn't there nothing here?
Linda thought to herself with a puzzled expression.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed something unusual.
There are marks in the center of this small hill where wild animals have dug it open with their claws and then covered it up again; the soil in that area is noticeably looser.
Quite cautious.
They're no different from wild animals; even when licking their wounds, they have to find a secluded place.
But sorry, Linda will dig her out.
Linda walked up to the small hill, and with a sudden swipe of her hands, pushed all the soft soil to one side.
Then I saw it: a furry wolf tail.
However, at this moment, the wolf's tail was not as fluffy and soft as usual; instead, it was tucked up and tucked between its legs.
Lulu herself curled up like a pill bug, her whole body trembling violently.
Linda bent down and peered into the simple cave.
With the help of the faint light shining in from the cave entrance, Lulu's little face was completely bloodless.
The orc girl bit her lip tightly, black blood seeping from her mouth and nose. She noticed Linda's arrival but was unable to react. The intense pain left her lying trembling in the cave.
-100, -104, -109...
The purplish-black damage numbers kept popping up above Lulu's head.
Linda's expression became much more serious.
If this continues, Lulu might die from blood loss!
He stretched out his palm and cast a healing spell.
A green +280 appeared above Lulu's head.
Admittedly, this amount of healing is quite high for a level 7 healing-focused adventurer.
The problem is that Lulu loses 100 health points per second, and the 280 health points Linda restores to her are like scratching an itch without even getting to the point.
[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust in you has increased by 5]
This news put Linda at ease.
"Relax, let me see your body, I'm here to help you."
To avoid any misunderstanding, Linda gave Lulu a verbal warning before touching her.
[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust in you has decreased by 6]
How come the reduction is more than the addition?
The situation was critical. Linda didn't realize that his statement was wrong. Instead, he grabbed Lulu's waist and laid her flat on her back to make it easier for him to do the following.
"Huff, huff."
The labored breathing was particularly noticeable in the narrow cave. Lulu gave Linda's touch a token kick, and then had no strength left.
Linda paid no attention to this and carefully observed the girl's body.
He noticed that the other person's hands were tightly gripping their heart, and it dawned on him: the witch's character design was exactly the same as in the game!
In the game, players need to pay 648 yuan per month to the game company in order to continue using the Witch class. Once the payment stops, the Witch will return to the shadows, leaving only a corrupted pet egg.
Once this setting becomes reality, it will be 'automatically translated' to better fit the current worldview.
In a miscellaneous book that Linda had read, the witch was described as follows: The source of corruption comes from the corrupting insects that Satan, the Demon King, planted in the hearts of young girls when they made their pacts.
The Fallen Insects grow alongside the Witch; the higher the Witch's level, the faster the Fallen Insects grow.
In order to hasten the day of hatching, the fallen insects will desperately give the witch their power.
When the Fallen Insects mature, they devour witches, grow into Fallen Beasts, and become a calamity capable of destroying a human city.
That's absolutely vicious and cruel!
The Demon King lured the unsuspecting witches with whispered words, turning them into human bombs that could explode at any moment!
In the game, one might only lament the loss of a character, but in reality, Linda truly couldn't stand the Demon King's actions; they were utterly inhumane and deserved to be severely punished.
"Lulu, relax your body and open your mind, I'm coming!"
Linda took a deep breath and loudly reminded Lulu in her ear.
Despite the girl's suffering from the torment of the fallen insects, these defiant words still briefly brought her back to her senses. Her expression changed drastically, and she kicked Linda in the head.
"Get out of my way, you treacherous humans who took advantage of my misfortune!"
Lulu's voice was extremely weak, and she had little strength in her kicks.
Linda grabbed the girl's lithe and plump right leg and pressed it to the ground, using her knee to hold it down and prevent it from moving around during the purification process and accidentally injuring herself.
