"Why don't you go in? I don't want to go in again."
Under the wall outside the Holy City, Darcy looked in the direction of the execution ground and his head shrank.
The progress of their main mission to capture the witch has reached 99%, and only the last one percent is left.
This progress was reached at noon. Later, they handed over a few more witches, but they still stopped at 99%.
After Xiao Zhimiao got the last curse seal, she stopped letting them catch her. The last 1% of the progress was probably hers.
If she doesn't enter the Holy City, no matter how many witches she captures, she won't be able to fill this 1%.
But before entering the Holy City, they had to find a hidden mission, a place she had never touched, a place that had appeared in her previous memories - the witch execution ground.
"Let's go."
Xiao Zhimiao and others, each holding a witch, walked towards the execution ground.
The execution ground is just outside the Holy City. Walk a few steps along the tall walls of the Holy City to the entrance of the execution ground.
Before everyone entered, they stepped into a puddle formed by the condensation of scarlet blood.
Blood flowed down the steps at the door, making a constant ticking sound. At the base of the wall, there were several water outlets. The water flowing out of the outlets was all blood, and flowed into a river behind them. At this time, the river had become It became a river of blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.
Darcy was holding on to the wall, her face turned pale and she almost felt sick.
The smell of blood was stronger than the previous times he came here. Each time he would send the witch to the door and run away, not daring to look at what was going on inside.
Later, after Xiao Zhimiao told them that they could kill witch hunters to obtain witch hunting cards, they killed the witch hunters directly.
All they need to do is obtain enough witch hunting cards to enter the Holy City.
Witch hunting cards cannot be traded. Each witch hunting card has their aura on it, so you can only turn it in to the witch or kill other people who have witch hunting cards.
Xiao Zhimiao swept away the five witches in their hands, which they had snatched from other witch hunters.
If you want to enter the execution ground, you must bring a witch with you, otherwise it will break the plot rules, trigger NPC hostility, and fail to advance the triggering tasks of the plot.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Zhimiao told them, "I will give you a good time after you go in."
The witch whose hands were tied with thousands of threads smiled at her and said, "We are not afraid. We have long been prepared to accept our fate."
Xiao Zhimiao slowly clenched his hands and stepped onto the stairs first.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw two huge butchers sitting at the door holding a bloody knife. When they saw them coming in, they all picked up the butcher knives and stood up.
Xiao Zhimiao wanted to continue walking forward, but a butcher put the big knife in front of her.
The weird appearance and the huge figure of nearly three meters high give people a sense of oppression of death.
The little witch standing in front of her subconsciously took a half step back, then took a firm step forward, accepting the butcher's inspection.
The butcher grabbed the little witch with his big hand and tore off her sleeves. Only after seeing the crimson mark on her wrist did he let Xiao Zhimiao go.
"When it's full, take it to the cell."
The butcher made a rough sound, reminding Xiao Zhimiao.
Xuanye followed up and said in her ear: "There are too many witches. They deal with them in a fixed amount every day."
"Quantitative..."
Xiao Zhimiao stood in front of a huge mountain of stacked corpses. She murmured: "There are too many, we can't kill them all."
In front of them was a sea of blood and corpses piled up with the broken limbs of countless witches. They slaughtered them like livestock.
The spacious execution ground could barely accommodate their corpses, and there was a sticky sound of blood with every step they took.
On both sides of them as they marched toward the cell, there were witches who were hung on high wooden stakes, and their burned, carbonized corpses.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, rancidity and burning.
Apart from this smell, Xiao Zhimiao and others could no longer smell anything else. It was the chilling and disgusting smell of death.
Darcy vomited on the spot while holding on to a wooden stake.
Several other people also turned pale.
Xuanye and Zhu Yunyin didn't come much either. Most of them arrested blue-level witches. Later they learned that witches would be sent to the execution ground and saw how they dealt with them once. They tried to catch those with high magic power. .five
The scene in front of them was much more bloody and horrific than the first day they came in.
Xiao Zhimiao stopped where he was and stared at the scene in front of him.
Although she had been mentally prepared, and even though she had seen it vaguely in her memory, now that she saw this hell-like scene in front of her, her soul seemed to be severely shaken.
It was like a huge bell was struck hard in her mind, her head was buzzing, and this was the only scene in front of her, and no sound could be heard anymore.
The five witches' feet weakened and they all fell to their knees.
Their bodies were trembling slightly, their hands were clasped together, and they kept chanting eulogies.
"May the light of my God be upon you. Rest in peace, rest in peace..."
Xuan Ye and Xu Zhilan both looked at Xiao Zhimiao, and they finally understood why she degenerated into an evil god.
No matter who it is, no one is crazy.
Xu Zhilan held Xiao Zhimiao's cold hand in his, "Xiao Zhizhi, this is just a copy, it has passed."
He knew that this dungeon was specifically designed to target her. After the mission process in the past few days and seeing little Sethia, he also understood that this dungeon was made based on Xiao Zhiliao's past experience.
It was already a memory in the past, but it was again bloody in front of her.
Xu Zhilan had never had such a murderous intention. He couldn't imagine how Xiao Zhiliao survived this period, and what she went through later...
"Let's go."
Xiao Zhimiao pulled the little witch up from the ground. The little witch's face was pale, with tears in her eyes, and her body was still shaking uncontrollably.
They have long been prepared to die, but they are also normal people and will be scared when they see such a scene.
It is only the faith in their hearts that supports them, allowing them to face the fate of death calmly and firmly.
They led the witch into the cell, and a stooped man held an oil lamp in front to guide them.
"Ah...these are the new witch hunters outside. You've done a great job. Tomorrow is the day of judgment for these evil witches. I'm really looking forward to it."
Xiao Zhimiao looked at him and saw that this hunchbacked man was the NPC Fei Qi who first led them.
According to their experience, this is also an elite monster.
He can appear in front of them many times, so he must be a relatively important role.
"There are too many witches and the cells are all full. I will help you find a few empty ones..."
Fitch said as he led them deeper into the dungeon.
Through Fei Qi's dim oil lamp, Xiao Zhimiao saw that the cells on both sides were crowded with witches. When he saw that they had brought new witches in, they had numb expressions on their faces.
When Xiao Zhimiao met the eyes of a witch, her eyes immediately widened and she threw herself at the cell door.
Although Xiao Zhimiao wore a mask, she could not cut off the vague connection between her and the believers.
More and more witches' eyes began to light up. They stood up one after another and crowded to the cell door to look at Xiao Zhimiao.
Xiao Zhimiao kept his eyes straight and did not look at them again.
"Fire!"
A witch shouted.
As soon as she shouted, the witches all whispered two words: "Burn..."
"Burn..."
"Burn..."
The low moans made Xuanye and the others get goosebumps when they heard them, and the whole dungeon echoed these two words.
Xu Zhilan couldn't help but leaned into Xiao Zhimiao's ear and asked, "What do they want us to burn? Are they going to burn the corpses outside?"
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at him and did not answer him.
What they wanted her to burn was not the body, but the world.
This world is rotten to the core.
"This cell is not full yet. It can be filled by squeezing in. Anyway, a new cell will be vacated soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a miserable scream came from outside.
He immediately showed a weird smile, "It will be available soon, it will be available soon..."
After putting the five witches into the cell, he turned around and looked at them, "Thank you for your hard work. If you are hungry, please come with me. I should reward you well."
Xiao Zhimiao and Xu Zhilan looked at each other, which triggered the plot.
Fitch continued deeper into the dungeon and opened a door.
Xiao Zhimiao and others followed him into the door and found that there was a huge hall inside.
In the hall, there were several executioner butchers sitting, enjoying a hearty meal. In addition to them, there were also the knights who had chased them two nights ago.
They all sat at the long dining table to eat.
"Please feel free to eat as much as you like. It will surely suit your appetite."
Fitch pulled out a chair and made a gesture of invitation.
Darxi and Zhu Yunyin looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't want to come forward.
Having just experienced such a strong impact of bloody scenes, they almost knew what the food on the table was with their toes.
Even though the table was filled with the aroma of cakes, desserts and barbecue, the smell in their noses made them gag.
Xuanye sat down on the bench first. He has a strong psychological quality. The only thing that scares him is the amusement park project.
Fear of heights, coupled with some not-so-good childhood memories.
After he sat down, Xiao Zhimiao pulled out a chair and sat on it, followed closely by Xu Zhilan and Zhu Yunyin. Seeing that they were all seated, Darcy had no choice but to sit on it.
Fitch took a bottle of bright red wine and poured it for them one by one, "Eat and drink well, please do as you please."
Feiqi laughed a few times, with a strange light in his eyes. The hoarse and rough voice echoed in the empty hall, setting off the scene in the hall, making people feel like they were in the underworld.
After Fitch finished speaking, he turned and walked towards a door that was not the one they came from.
After he opened the door, light came out, and Xiao Zhimiao saw something that looked like a rag doll.
After just one glance, Fitch closed the door.
Xiao Zhimiao noted the location of the door and swept her eyes across the dining table. Among the paladins, she saw a familiar figure.
The paladin wearing a white hood raised his head and looked at her.
Xiao Zhimiao's expression paused and he expressed his thanks.
