As soon as the door opened, Xie Zhi quickly treated Xiao Zhimiao, but his treatment had no effect. Instead, the golden saplings in her body surged, helping her heal her wounds.
In the church, the missionary Dorothy was standing under the statue. After hearing the movement, she slowly turned around and looked at them.
"The two warriors should go find the evil witch who escaped, instead of destroying the church of the God of Light here!"
Xiao Zhimiao: "Only the soul of the evil witch has escaped. Where is her true body? You give her to us, and I will kill her for you."
Originally, Xiao Zhimiao was a bit of a loser. If she made such a big fuss and came in, Dorothy would definitely turn into a monster, so she wouldn't deal with her anymore.
However, Dorothy did not have a big change in her mood as she thought. She murmured: "She can't be killed. She can't be killed. The only way is to lock her here. I am doing this for her own good." For her own good..."
Dorothy changed her ugly look of insulting Sethia and began to speak words of concern for her.
"I have no choice but to do so. Her mother has tainted the gods. Even though she is the son of gods, she is mixed with the dirty blood of witches and is still a witch with succubus blood. This is all her mother's fault. She should not have been born like this. The child is so terrible.”
Dorothy was walking back and forth, looking very uneasy.
The light in the church was much dimmer than before, with a faint red light.
Xiao Zhimiao walked toward her step by step, echoing Dorothy's words: "Yes, such evil and dirty people should not have come into the world. We are gifted by the God of light and bathed in light. Under such a filthy existence, she should be wiped out."
When Dorothy heard these words, her restless steps stopped and she turned to look at Xiao Zhimiao: "This warrior seems to be a loyal believer of the God of Light."
Xiao Zhimiao said with a smile: "Of course, the great God of Light will lead us out of the darkness, and all evil will eventually dissipate."
Dorothy was very pleased to see that the outsider in front of her had such a high level of awareness. She clasped her hands and faced the statue in front of her: "Lord God of Light, please dispel the darkness for us and guide us on the path. I can no longer control it." You’ve got her, Lord God of Light, do you want to execute her?”
The statue did not give Dorothy any response. After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhimiao said with excitement: "Oh, I heard the guidance of the God of Light. She said that the dirty existence should be executed as soon as possible. This glorious task is entrusted to me."
Dorothy turned and looked at her doubtfully: "Really?"
"Of course he is a real missionary, you see."
Xiao Zhimiao reached deep into his hand and revealed a sun mark on his wrist, which was the symbol of the God of Light.
Dorothy's eyes lit up: "Since the God of Light will give such an important task to this warrior..."
She faced the direction of the statue and raised her hand tremblingly: "Then execute her and let her be free."
The system panel pops up:
[Congratulations to player Xiao Zhimiao for triggering the hidden mission—Descendant of God]
[The little witch with divine blood is imprisoned in the dark abyss. Only by erasing her can she be freed from the darkness]
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the panel information in front of him. This hidden mission only had a short paragraph, unlike other missions where there was an introduction to the characters.
"Did you trigger the hidden mission?"
Xie Zhi turned to look at her in surprise.
"Go warrior, her true form is below. Complete the mission of the God of Light and execute her."
Dorothy lifted the seal, revealing the entrance to the basement behind the statue.
Looking at the entrance, Xiao Zhimiao and Xie Zhi looked at each other and walked towards the basement entrance.
It was dark below, and the stairs were very narrow and steep. After taking a few steps, the two of them were completely plunged into darkness, and no light from above could penetrate.
A ball of light lit up in Xie Zhi's hand, illuminating the darkness in the basement. But just after it illuminated for a moment, the light in his hand was swallowed up by the darkness.
He tried several times,
Neither can retain any light.
Xiao Zhimiao thought for a moment and pulled one of the golden saplings out of her body, but the golden thread soon got into her body again.
She thought for a moment and took out the broken bones. The broken bones were surrounding her. She manipulated the broken bones to make a few cuts on her body. Once she was injured, the golden saplings in her body would emit light and restore her.
Seeing that the light did not dissipate after the golden sapling was restored to her, Xiao Zhimiao exhaled. She had no hobby of self-abuse, but in this dark fantasy, she was too vulnerable to attacks from unknown objects.
Seeing that the entrance above his head gradually became a small dot, Xiao Zhimiao pulled Xie Zhi and asked, "Did you also receive the hidden mission prompt?"
Xie Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, generally hidden tasks are automatically shared by players, but as soon as you trigger the hidden task, the system will share it. I think other players have also received it."
Now this hidden mission is very simple, just kill Sethia.
Other players will receive this task. Are you afraid that one player will not be able to complete it?
The two of them continued to walk down the narrow staircase. The area became wider and wider as they went down. Xiao Zhimiao's body was emitting a faint light. Whenever the light dimmed, she could only make a few cuts on her body.
When she manipulated the bone fragments to draw towards herself for the third time, Xie Zhi reached out to block her, and the bone fragments made a deep cut on his hand.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if there is no light. I will protect you."
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at the wound on his hand, and then moved his gaze to his face. Under the dim light, his eyes shimmered, and there was an unspeakable tenderness in his look.
"It makes me feel at ease when there is light, and it doesn't hurt much."
Xiao Zhimiao looked away from his face and continued to let the broken bones scratch the wounds on her body.
Listening to Xiao Zhimiao's indifferent tone, he thanked Zhi and said, "How can it not hurt? Even if you are not afraid of pain, it will still hurt."
Xiao Zhimiao walked in front of Xie Zhi without saying anything.
Looking at her straight back, there was an invisible wall separating the two of them.
Shattered Bones had been in a defensive posture behind her, and she was still wary of him.
Xie Zhi felt a little sad because she probably wouldn't trust anyone except Xiao Yun and Xu Zhilan, who bound his soul to her.
Maybe the seemingly endless basement was too boring, so Xiao Zhimiao said, "Have you ever cared so much about others before?"
Thanks: "Strangers don't care. Isn't it normal for friends to care about each other?"
Xiao Zhimiao laughed and looked back at Xie Zhi: "Xie Zhi, do you think we are friends?"
Xie Zhi also smiled gently: "Isn't it true? I thought that from Kane City to Golden Village, we had a life-long friendship."
He asked her tentatively: "Or am I not worthy of being your friend? What are your standards for friends?"
"Is it like Xu Zhilan?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "He is a fairly loyal person around me."
Xie Zhi thought this statement was a bit interesting: "Why do loyal people sound like subordinates? Why are they not friends?"
Xiao Zhimiao said: "Do you think Xu Zhilan wants to be friends with me?"
The basement was empty and quiet, and Xiao Zhimiao's voice echoed clearly.
Xie Zhi smiled and said: "He really doesn't want to be friends with you, he wants to be your partner."
Xiao Zhimiao: "He doesn't want to be my friend, and I don't want to be his partner, so the only relationship between us is his loyalty to me."
Xie Zhi asked again: "Then what will you give him in return?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "It depends on the situation. If he performs well, he can be rewarded."
Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Just like a puppy."
Xiao Zhimiao paused, "Is this understandable?"
Listening to Xiao Zhimiao's casual tone when talking about Xu Zhilan, Xie Zhi suddenly felt a little pitiful for him.
The little bit of envy I had for him was gone.
Xiao Zhimiao told him
His concern was just based on the soul binding between them. To Xiao Zhimiao, he might just be a useful subordinate, not much different from an obedient subordinate.
But only in this way can he get Xiao Zhimiao's attention.
"So, who can be your friend?"
Xie Zhi asked again.
Xiao Zhimiao: "There is no definition, at least they don't approach me with a purpose. It is risky to be friends with people who have too many secrets."
She said this casually, but Xie Zhi felt that it meant something.
He suddenly didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After walking further down for a while, the two of them reached the bottom.
The space below looks like a huge cave dug by something. Except for the stairs paved with stone bricks, there is no decoration below.
There was a faint smell of blood, but the light from Xiao Zhimiao's body could not shine too far, and they could not determine the source of the blood smell. They could vaguely see several caves.
Xiao Zhimiao looked down and saw that there was still blood at their feet.
The light on her body gradually dimmed, and eventually dissipated, and they fell into darkness, but Xiao Zhimiao did not continue to scratch the wound on her body.
She stood there for a while and walked in a certain direction.
There was no memory in my mind, just a feeling, a muscle memory engraved in my bones and blood.
After taking two steps, she remembered that there was a thank you behind her. She groped in the dark and touched the hand that Xie Zhi also extended.
"Follow me," she said.
"good."
She pulled Xie Zhi and walked slowly and steadily in the darkness. Xie Zhi felt that Xiao Zhimiao's hand was a little cold, so he couldn't help but squeeze it tighter.
After walking in the darkness for a while, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Water droplets dripped from their heads and landed on the watery ground, making a crisp sound.
There was a faint light in front of him. Seeing this light, Xiao Zhimiao let go of Xie Zhi's hand and walked towards the light.
What they saw were glowing filaments and tree roots, snaking out.
The further he walked inside, the brighter the light became. Xie Zhi found that he had not noticed any danger since entering this basement. Unlike other copies, there were countless monsters dormant in such a place.
The whole process was very quiet, so quiet that it was depressingly dull.
Only the smell of blood made him slightly wary.
But he saw that Xiao Zhimiao seemed to have known this place for a long time. She was afraid of the dark on the stairs before and would rather cut herself to get some light. But here underground, she no longer needs light and can survive even in the dark. Find your target underground.
