I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 170. The Mission of the Goddess of Eternal Day

"what?"

"Asleep?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled. "Didn't he notice us?"

"It seems like they haven't noticed?" Cha Nai Xue wasn't really sure either. After all, if that fifth-tier expert had noticed them, he would definitely have come over. What was the meaning of suddenly climbing a tree to sleep?
Logically speaking, a fifth-tier expert should have learned one or two powerful reconnaissance-type spirit garments.

"Never mind, it's not important." Xia Feng patted the mud off his trousers, stood up, and transmitted his voice, "Since he's not coming, we'll just let him find us if we go over there by accident!"

"And you two, remember to act convincingly later."

The three exchanged a glance and then walked slowly into the forest.

On the tree.

Jiang Li had just closed his eyes, ready to have a good sleep, when suddenly his eyelids twitched and he slowly opened his eyes. In his sense, the three guys 500 meters away were suddenly walking leisurely toward him.

Although somewhat speechless, he remained calm. With a thought, he transformed into a brownish-wood-colored spiritual light and merged into the thick tree branch.

He rolled over in the tree branch and continued to slack off and sleep.

Chachacha——

Xia Feng and his two companions stepped through the fallen leaves to the tree, but to Xia Feng's surprise, they did not find anyone.

"What about people?"

"Right above you." Chana Yuki looked ahead, her voice tinged with doubt. "It seems... she's deliberately hiding? Maybe she's planning to ambush us."

The three exchanged a silent glance, and Xia Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Isn't this fifth-tier expert being a bit too cautious? Does he need to launch a sneak attack to deal with us?"

"Never mind, let's keep going."

The three of them passed the trees and continued walking leisurely as if nothing had happened.

But the fifth-tier powerhouse in the shadows still showed no intention of making a move. Xia Feng couldn't stand it any longer. He suddenly stopped, turned his head sharply, and shouted coldly, "Who's there?! Come out!"

Jiang Li: "."

"Trying to ambush us, huh? Heh~ Dream on!" Xia Feng sneered, his face full of disdain. "I see you. Come out."

Seeing Xia Feng's gaze firmly fixed on his hiding place, Jiang Li's eye twitched slightly. "No way, brother, are you crazy?"
"I've already set it up like this, and you still dare to walk into my line of fire?!" He sat up with a cold face.

A figure in black robes appeared silently on a tree branch, a simple line drawing of a golden vertical pupil carved in the center of the mask, looking down at the three people not far away.

A fifth-order spiritual pressure aura quietly unfolded.

"What?!" Xia Feng suddenly took a step back in horror upon seeing this, looking up with a terrified expression, "He—he's actually a fifth-tier Spirit Master!"

"?" The two women glanced at Xia Feng expressionlessly, then promptly showed expressions of fear.

"Hehehe~ You're unlucky to have run into me~" Jiang Li chuckled evilly a few times, then looked down at him mockingly, "But I'm a very kind person. Here's what we'll do! You have ten minutes to escape. Once the ten minutes are up, I'll come after you!"

"If I manage to catch her, hehe~" Jiang Li looked the white-clad man standing between the two women up and down, and smiled wickedly, "Xia Feng, right? This little face is really nice, very much to my liking."

Chana and Mu Qingtong blinked and looked at Xia Feng together.

Xia Feng: "."

Seeing that Xia Feng and the other two had fallen silent, their faces were not good, and they looked terrified and wanted to run away as soon as possible, Jiang Li was very satisfied.

Heh~ That's good to be scared! He grinned wickedly: "Run for your life, little beauty, or I'll catch you~~"

Xia Feng never expected that this fifth-tier expert was so mentally unstable; he was completely speechless.

"Sir, I know that your real purpose in arresting us is to capture the 'Lost One'." Xia Feng took out a gardenia and said in a deep voice, "How about this, you can have the Lost One, and you release us. There's no need for us to fight each other, how about it?"

Jiang Li was taken aback, but before he could say anything, Xia Feng threw the gardenia at him.

"???" He didn't reach out to catch it, letting the gardenia fall into the grass with a thud.

He stared silently at the white flowers at his feet, his eye twitching slightly. Wait, why aren't these three idiots playing by the rules? Shouldn't they be risking their lives to protect the lost soul?!
He certainly couldn't send the lost person back, since if he got the lost person but failed to snatch the Star Bone Glaze, it would be easy to trace his slacking off behavior.

Xia Feng saw that the masked man had fallen silent and was no longer speaking, but was calmly staring at him with his golden-eyed mask.

He was puzzled, but then it dawned on him: "Right, the Star Bone Glazed Glass is still with the Holy Maiden. You still want this thing, right? Here, it is for you too!"

Upon hearing Xia Feng's words, Chana Yuki understood and took out the safe containing the Star Bone Glass.

"?!?!" Jiang Li's pupils slowly dilated as he watched expressionlessly as the box was thrown into the air and hurtled towards him. He sensed that the box did indeed contain Star Bone Glazed Glass.

"Damn it!" Jiang Li's smile vanished completely. He raised his hand to press his ear, tilting his head as if listening to someone speak, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "What? There's such a thing? I'll be right back!"

"Heh~ I'll spare your lives for now!"

With that, he turned and disappeared into the forest, his mocking laughter echoing in the air. "Of course, I'm heading north. If you have the guts, don't run south where there are no knights patrolling. Follow me north!"

Thud—The box that had been tossed into the air landed on the ground and rolled down with the gardenias.

Seeing this, Xia Feng was completely bewildered. "What the hell?! This guy's got some nerve! He's turning down something that's practically handed to him? What's going on?"
Although he couldn't figure out what this fifth-tier expert was up to, Xia Feng wasn't going to let the pursuer leave so easily.

The three exchanged a glance, picked up the gardenia and the box, and dashed into the forest.

Having perfectly fooled the three away, Jiang Li hummed a little tune, looked around, selected a giant tree with lush branches, and then leaped down, landing comfortably.

But only two seconds later, his eyelids slowly lifted again.

Turning around expressionlessly, he saw a man and two women rushing towards him from afar. The man in white laughed arrogantly in a villainous manner: "Hahaha! You almost fooled me. You must not be a fifth-level spirit master! No wonder you didn't make a move when you met us, just bluffing!"

"?!!!"

Damn it! Are you crazy?! Jiang Li was completely speechless. Why is it so hard to slack off?! He raised his hand and slapped Xia Feng, who was charging straight at him, away.

Thump—Xia Feng's back slammed into a tree trunk, blood spilling from the corner of his lips. The gardenia and the star-shaped glass box in his arms rolled onto the grass with a thud.

"what?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. He raised his palm in confusion, and there was still Xia Feng's blood on his palm. While thinking about it, he brought it closer and smelled it. Then his pupils suddenly dilated.

"This taste"

His expression changed slightly. The higher-ups of the Goddess Temple all had a secret mission directly assigned by the Goddess of Eternal Day: to find a man. If they found him, they would receive a very generous reward.

The clue was blood. All the higher-ups remembered to look for the scent of a man's blood, but the world was vast and no one had any clue how to find it.

Jiang Li was equally clueless and didn't think he could find it, but he never expected that he would run into such a small chance! He raised his head in surprise, stared intently at the white-clad man in the distance, and grinned.

He changed his mind!

I didn't want to waste the opportunity to summon the Goddess of Eternal Day, but now...
