As everyone watched her being beaten to a bloody pulp, afraid that the next one to be beaten would be themselves, they all huddled and quickened their pace.
The short-haired girl couldn’t bear the continuous whipping and finally collapsed to the ground.
The man stomped on her head a few times and shouted, but finding no response from her, he sighed and gave up.
“She’s dead… This is bad. If we can’t gather fourteen people, Witch will be very angry.”
Upon hearing this, his companion also looked worried, and they began to blame each other.
“It’s all because of you. Why did you use such force for no reason? Now she is dead because of you. You deal with it yourself.”
“And you were just standing by watching. You didn’t stop me either.”
“Besides, the task was for both of us. If we fail, we both get punished.”
Yeah, they were like crickets on the same rope. If something went wrong, neither of them could escape.
In the end, the two of them came up with a compromise.
One person would escort the remaining person to continue towards the Magic Temple, while the other would go back to the village to find another person to make up the numbers.
“But Witch instructed that it must be a woman born in July. Where can we find one now?”
In the village, not to mention a woman born in July, there wasn’t even a female mosquito.
“Let’s just finish the task first. As for whether it’s July or not, we can’t control that anymore. Howard is dead, and his wife is a fool. It’s most suitable to bring her.”
The other person found this to be a good idea.
That fool was the target that the village chief wanted to get rid of. If it wasn’t for Howard, she would have died by now.
“Okay, let’s do it this way.”
The two of them lifted the short-haired girl together and threw her into the nearby bushes, then ignored her.
After they left, Kelvin came out of the ruined temple and ran to the bushes. Sure enough, he saw the short-haired woman lying on the ground.
He reached out and checked her breathing.
“She’s still breathing.”
But she would eventually die if things continued like this. After some thought… Kelvin took out a small white bottle from his pocket.
This was the supplement pill that Cheyenne had stuffed into his luggage before he left.
Originally intended for him, but now he took out one and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth.
“Whether you live or die depends on your luck.”
As he finished speaking, Kelvin was about to chase after the group of people, but behind him came a weak cough.
“Cough… Thank you…”
He turned around in surprise, the short-haired girl who had seemed on the brink of death just now had opened her eyes and sat up.
Her complexion was much better than before.
“I didn’t expect Cheyenne’s supplement pill to work so well.”
He had accepted it initially just to not worry her, treating it like candy and rarely eating it.
“Are you alright?”
As soon as the short-haired girl saw him, tears poured down like a flood.
Kelvin didn’t have the patience to listen to her crying here, nor did he have any intention of comforting her.
Impatiently, he said, “You can continue crying, I have things to do. I’m leaving.”
“Wait… wait.”
The woman reached out and grabbed his pants.
In the next moment, Kelvin shook her off to the side. He coldly said with his handsome face devoid of any emotion. “Don’t touch me. I’ve already saved your life, and I can’t help you anymore.”
The short-haired girl hadn’t even finished speaking when she unexpectedly found him to be so cold-blooded and selfish, which made her feel angry for a moment.
“I know, I stopped you because I want you to save my friend. She was also in the queue just now, and they are going to hold a blood ritual tonight, they will all die.”
“Blood ritual?”
Kelvin asked curiously about these two words.
The woman nodded and told him everything she knew.
“In fact, the blood ritual is when they select fourteen women to feed the poison insects by shedding their blood on the night of the full moon, in order to refine the Golden Silkworm Magic.”
“After these insects fight each other, the ultimate winner will be the king of the Magic-the Golden Silkworm Magic.”
It is said that the shape of the Golden Silkworm Magic resembles a silkworm, with golden skin and emits light all over.
Something that has only existed in novels and TV dramas suddenly appeared before his eyes, this feeling is truly amazing.
“I understand, you find a place to hide first, my people will report to the police soon… You find a chance to escape by yourself later.”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for the woman to continue speaking, but decisively turned and left.
The short-haired girl looked at the distant figure in astonishment, and it took a long time for her to squeeze out a sentence.
“He has no sympathy at all!”
She told him such a big secret, couldn’t he at least send her to a safe place first?
In this wilderness, how can a wounded and fragile woman like her walk back?
At the same time, in the village chief’s house, in a certain secret room.
Behind a curtain, the village chief stood outside the curtain, bowing his head and reporting the progress of things to the mysterious figure inside the curtain.
“Sir, after sacrificing fifty-three women, we finally found the most potential fourteen.”
“Oh? Can I get what I want tonight after all these sacrifices?”
The voice of the person inside was extremely hoarse, as if smoking excessively had caused a husky voice, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The reflection on the curtain was only a black shadow, nothing else could be seen.
The village chief glanced hastily and lowered his head even more, afraid of angering the gentleman behind the curtain.
In a respectful and pleasing tone, he said, “Yes, the refining of the Golden Silkworm Magic has entered the final stage. Tonight is the night of the full moon.”
“At that time, my daughter Kiara will preside over the blood ritual and infuse the curse into the insects. This will be enough to make the Golden Silkworm Magic, which can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh.”
Upon hearing this, the mood of the mysterious person behind the curtain seemed good, and he even asked curiously,
“Your daughter Kiara? Are you sure she can complete such an important blood ritual ritual?”
“It is of great importance, and I cannot tolerate any mistakes.”
Of course, the village chief knew that. He suggested that the gentleman could meet his daughter in person, and he would have no doubts then.
“Alright, you let her in.”
As Kiara’s footsteps approached, the bells on her body made a crisp and pleasant sound.
The man saw Kiara’s appearance through the reflection in the mirror and couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.
“Your daughter is so young, I doubt her ability.”
Kiara just arrived and heard this sentence, a fleeting look of pride and dissatisfaction appeared on her face.
“Sir, rest assured, raising Magic depends on talent, not age. I can proudly say that even my father is no match for me!”
