In this room, Cao Xing obtained a large amount of herbs.

"Not bad, not bad, let's continue searching!"

After that, they prepared to go to the next room to continue looting.

However, they did not gain much in the rooms at the back.

Only some sundries were found.

Soon, they arrived at the last room.

When they opened the door, the scene inside was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

They saw a small attic.

The facilities inside are very simple.

There was only a small table and a small wooden bed.

The wooden bed was next to the attic window, and the moonlight was shining down, filling the air with a cool and chilly atmosphere.

And on that small wooden bed.

Everyone saw a stunning woman wearing a red low-cut dress, with an impressive chest and dark brown hair.

She lay quietly on the bed with her hands crossed on her abdomen.

His breathing was unusually calm, as if he had been sleeping for a long time.

The moment Cao Xing saw her appearance.

Even though he had seen many beautiful women, he still felt a little dazed.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes were like small black brushes, gently covering her jewel-like eyelids.

The green eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes adds a sense of depth and mystery to her.

A small and tall nose with a faint pearly luster at the tip, and below it is a small mouth with dark green lips but not too seductive.

The moonlight shone on her through the windows of the castle, adding a touch of coolness to her.

Elisa couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a beautiful sister..."

Including Sarah, Isabel, and even Liu Muxue, all stared at the figure on the bed with wide eyes.

Because it was also the first time for them to see such a beautiful woman.

Even in terms of appearance, he is slightly better than them.

Only Hilda can match her in temperament and appearance.

Just when Cao Xing wanted to check the other party's attributes.

But he discovered that this woman with green eyeshadow and a cool temperament suddenly opened her eyes.

"Back off!"

Cao Xing reacted instantly and asked everyone to leave the room quickly.

Then they came to the door and looked at the woman on the bed with vigilance.

At this moment, she sat up quietly from the bed.

Then, she looked at Cao Xing and others with her deep eyes.

As her lips moved, the sound of a bird in the forest rang out.

"You are... people from outside the castle..."

Cao Xing was somewhat surprised when he saw that she did not attack him immediately.

He nodded, then asked, "Are you the witch of this forest?"

A thoughtful look flashed across the woman's eyes, and then she sighed softly.

“I guess so…”

Hearing this, Cao Xing became even more confused.

What do you mean by "count as"?

At this time, Braum and others behind him were already prepared for battle, ready to charge at any time.

After all, their goal this time is to deal with the witch of the castle.

That is, the woman in front of me.

Cao Xing waved his hands, signaling everyone not to worry.

Because he detected no hostility in this witch.

"Are those legends true?"

"For example, you murdered a large number of civilians, nobleman."

"They are still conducting some kind of human experiment, using those soldiers and the beasts in the jungle as experimental subjects."

Hearing this question, the enchanting woman in front of him sighed again.

"Part of it is true..."

"I was conducting human experiments, but I didn't attack the soldiers or the beasts in the jungle..."

"I didn't kill those civilians and nobles..."

"I am doing this research just to bring back to life a relative of mine who has passed away..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing looked puzzled.

"Resurrect your relatives?"

Although normally he would not say so much to his enemy, Cao Xing could sense that something was wrong with the witch.

"Yes... Collect their relics, call back their spirits... and prepare a perfect body for them... so that my sister can be reborn..."

"This is a method I came across in a book..."

Cao Xing frowned and said, "You failed, right?"

The woman looked at Cao Xing with a complicated expression.

"Yes...Resurrecting the dead is against the rules and will lead to punishment from the gods..."

"I didn't revive my sister, but I summoned an evil being..."

"He took over my consciousness and tried to take over my body so that he could reappear on earth..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing finally understood.

No wonder he felt something was wrong with the witch's aura.

It turns out that there is another powerful being hidden inside her body!

"It seems that he has some other purpose... so he came to this forest and brought the three guardians..."

"And through some means, they tricked those soldiers into coming here to conduct some kind of experiment."

"And in order to stop Him, I can only do my best to put my body into a deep sleep..."

"But as time goes by, He continues to attack me, and my independent consciousness has become weaker and weaker... It will disappear completely soon..."

"And this body will belong entirely to Him..."

Having said that, she slowly raised her beautiful head and spoke softly.

"Now, please help me put an end to this..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, you want me to kill you?"

"Yes... Kill me, and this forest will return to its original tranquility..."

The enchanting woman in front of him had a look of desire and a hint of sadness on her face.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded.

With a wave of his hand, everyone was ready to attack.

And at this moment.

Suddenly, everyone saw the sadness on the woman's face disappear.

The corners of her mouth gradually formed a charming curve.

The smile blooms in an instant, with a breathtaking beauty!

However, behind this beautiful smile.

Cao Xing only felt a huge sense of crisis!

He ordered: "Retreat!"

The next moment.

A terrifying black energy suddenly burst out from the witch's body!

"BOOM!"

The black gas swept in instantly, directly shattering the wall.

Everyone was thrown dozens of meters away and fell heavily onto the floor of the hall.

Fortunately, everyone had a layer of holy shield on their bodies and did not suffer any harm.

"Oh my god! So strong?"

Cao Xing was instantly surprised.

now.

This enchanting woman, in her red robe, moved automatically without wind, and then slowly flew into the air.

The entire top floor of the castle was swept by a terrifying airflow!

“Hoo—Hoo—”

The air rushed past, carrying with it a strong black aura!

At this moment, the black air leaked out through the windows on the top floor of the castle.

In an instant, the entire castle seemed to be shrouded in this black air.

Not only that, the terrifying dark aura was also spreading through the castle and into the forest.

And all of them were shrouded in darkness.

In an instant, Cao Xing felt a strong sense of nausea and dizziness in his body!

[You have entered the realm of darkness. All attributes are reduced by 20%. Every 10 seconds, a layer of dark seeds will be planted. After reaching the 10th layer, you will fall into a state of chaos. After the 100th layer, you will completely lose your mind...]

[Ding! Because your mental resistance has reached over 50%, you are immune to the invasion of the Seed of Darkness! ]

…

Cao Xing was instantly shocked when he saw the system prompt.

"So this is the source of the dark aura in the forest!"

"Being in this aura will not only greatly reduce your attributes, but also plant the seeds of darkness!"

"When there are too many layers of Dark Seeds, not only will they fall into chaos, but they will also go crazy on the spot and become like those wild boars outside."

"However, we all have the skill [Faith], which increases our mental resistance, so we are immune to the invasion of the seeds of darkness."

Cao Xing felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he has the talent of [Eternal Power], otherwise this dark aura field alone would make people feel powerless.

At this moment, the dark witch was flying in the air.

He was looking at Cao Xing and the others with a cold, emotionless gaze.

That look was even colder than when he looked at the ants.

It's like a high and mighty god watching over the world.

And when she noticed that Cao Xing and others did not show any abnormality under the cover of darkness.

There was also a glimmer of surprise in those cold eyes.

"A group of ants can actually resist my power?"

"That's interesting. No wonder you're here."

Cao Xing saw that she did not take action immediately.

"Who are you?"

He wanted to get more information.

"I?"

The witch pointed at herself, still with a cold look in her eyes.

"It seems that it has been so long that people no longer know my name?"

"But it doesn't matter. Once I completely take over the consciousness of this half-elf and draw all my power out of that damn place, the world will be destroyed by my wrath!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing quickly analyzed it in his mind.

It was clear that the guy who occupied the witch's consciousness had some surprising background.

But there was too little information and Cao Xing couldn't tell her true identity.

So, he made a speechless expression, "You are just bragging! The ancient dragons can only destroy a continent, and you want to destroy the world."

"Are you more powerful than an ancient dragon?"

The dark witch's expression froze slightly.

"It is not difficult to destroy the world, I will reappear in the world..."

Cao Xing seemed to see that she was lacking confidence, "Haha, you are really bragging."

"You are so amazing, why have I never heard of your name?"

Hearing this, the dark witch looked unhappy. "Heh... little guy, don't try to get words out of me."

"However, my power is not as great as that of the ancient dragon."

"But it's still easy to deal with you guys."

"Now, have you thought about how you're going to die?"

At this moment, unprecedented hostility erupted from the witch.

Cao Xing even felt a sense of danger in it!

When the opponent was about to launch an attack, he quickly scanned the witch's attributes.

[Forest Witch: Francesca (Dark Form)]

[Race: Half-elf]

[Level: Level 50 (fifth-level commander-level creature)]

[HP: 1543178/1543178]

(Character introduction: A legendary witch, with half-human, half-elf blood. During her long life, she has mastered a lot of knowledge. However, for some reason, a trace of divinity from a certain existence is parasitic in her body.)

…

"Oh my god, so fierce?"

The power of this witch was far beyond Cao Xing's imagination!

The fifth-level commander-in-chief rank is nearly 20 levels lower than them.

Moreover, each of her skills is more terrifying than the last.

[Dark Eruption] makes it difficult for Braum and his friends to get close to you.

[Black Moon Bite] is equivalent to directly destroying the holy shields on Cao Xing and the others.

Commander-level skills are even more terrifying, forcing a no-fly zone and putting all skills into cooldown mode.

In other words, during this period of time, everyone can only release normal attacks.

The most important thing is that this witch still has a trace of divinity.

Even though it's only a tiny bit, it directly increases all attributes by 50%.

In other words, the actual combat power of this witch is far beyond that of an average level 50 commander!

"It's so damn powerful!"

"No wonder this forest witch makes me feel so dangerous!"

However, Cao Xing was not panicked, after all, he still had the biggest trump card in his hand.

【Ascalon Book of the Dead】

When this thing is used, it can summon a powerful commander, the Duke of Palatine.

Although I don't know who is stronger between the Duke of Palatine and this dark witch.

However, he has thousands of powerful Ascalon Undead Warriors behind him, who can definitely deal with this dark witch!

Moreover, this time Brot Brimstone's leader-level skill is also very powerful, and can summon a fourth-level commander-level creature for 60 seconds.

In this way, Cao Xing can summon two commander-level creatures at once.

So, he was not afraid of the forest witch at all.

At this moment, the witch had already flown into the air.

As the woman raised her slender hand.

Everyone saw hundreds of huge black balls suddenly appear above their heads!

"Hey guys, such a wide attack range?"

Cao Xing was immediately startled and quickly shouted, "Retreat!"

Everyone's feet were moving fast, and with the blessing of the [Queen's Will], they ran at a very fast speed.

And those black balls also fell towards them quickly.

After landing, it exploded with astonishing power!

"Boom! Boom!"

Balls of black air exploded.

But fortunately, everyone dodged quickly and avoided the explosion attack of these black balls.

At this moment, Cao Xing quickly gave the order, "Bron, Assam, all melee fighters, move forward."

"Everyone else, attack with all your might!"

At this moment, Braun held up his great shield and launched a heroic charge with Asam riding on the Frostwolf!

Even if the enemy is far more powerful than they imagined.

But it still didn't scare people!

The witch, floating in the air, saw a group of melee fighters rushing towards her.

There was still that calm and indifferent look in his eyes.

The next moment, she raised her head and made a move.

A few more black balls fell down.

Not only that, the witch also created black circles on the ground in front of them, with bursts of black gas coming out of them.

If you step on these circles, you will probably suffer very serious injuries.

Assam and Bron also reacted quickly.

They dodged the witch's attacks while approaching her.

Just as they were about to attack the dark witch.

However, the opponent flew to a height of several dozen meters again, directly out of their melee range.

The dark witch methodically summoned black balls, causing explosive damage to everyone.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The Centaurs, Assam and others below were hit and could only dodge continuously.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Jonathan, Jonathan, jump into the air and knock her down."

"Kandar, Kantar, get ready."

After hearing the order.

The two Dragonblood Warriors raised their spears and shouted.

"Dragon Gun! Raid!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they kicked their feet, and a terrifying impact force exploded instantly, and they rushed directly into the air.

She saw two Dragonblood Warriors rushing towards her.

A disdainful smile appeared on the witch's lips.

She waved her hand casually, and two black balls fell down!

Bang! Bang!

However, these two attacks only knocked off a layer of holy shield on their bodies.

The witch frowned.

"Strange... there are so many layers of holy shield..."

Just as the two dragon-blood warriors' spears were about to hit her body.

A red shadow passed by.

The witch dodged the [Dragon Spear Attack] of the two Dragonblood Warriors with a quick move.

Apparently, even in the air, she's incredibly agile!

Just when she thought she had avoided the attack.

The two Centaurs, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly took out a strange device from behind.

“Bang! Bang!”

Two catapult hooks shot out and hit the target accurately.

One was hung on the witch's shoulder, and the other was wrapped around her slender waist.

The witch's face changed. She was just trying to break free from the restraints of the shooting claws.

Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Kandal, Kandal, pull her down!"

"Hi, hi, hi!"

The two Centaurs immediately stepped forward and gave a fierce pull!

The witch who was flying in the air was instantly pulled down a long distance.

Before she could steady herself.

Cao Xing's [Ice-breaking Flying Blade] and Sarah's [Deadly Dagger].

And the long-range attacks of others have all fallen.

【-4353】

【-7731! 】

【-4321】

【-3031! 】

【-3763】

【-6023! 】

【-1733】

【-1532】

…

This wave of concentrated fire directly reduced the witch's health by nearly 50,000!

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was immediately delighted!
