Chapter 1546: Chapter 12: Guest from the Black Abyss

Su Xiao’s expression was not pleasing, Itha left only one sentence, ’Aiseya and I don’t know where the Deathlands are, only Mo...’

In this sentence, there’s only one useful piece of information, which is the word ’Mo’. Using one word to find the Deathlands, the difficulty of this task is imaginable.

"Mo?"

Su Xiao murmured, this was his only known clue, as for what ’Mo’ means, he could only guess by himself.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang barked, meaning: "Master, I can only think of Ferris wheel and motorcycle."

Resisting the urge to give Bubu Wang a smack with a size 65 slipper, Su Xiao checked Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt.

[You have killed Isa.]

[Isa was a Flame Burst Witch, since assisted by This World’s creatures, you gain 0.5% Source of Exploration, now totaling 0.8%.]

[Your Talent ’Soul Devourer’ activated, permanently increasing 27 points of Mana Value, current maximum Mana Value is 6516 points.]

[You obtained Treasure Chest (Legendary).]

[Note: This Treasure Chest has received an additional enhancement, rewards are increased by 50%.]

...

Although Isa’s head was stolen by an unknown enemy, Su Xiao also received nearly all the rewards. When Isa was killed, she completely lost combat strength, so in the kill determination of Isa, Su Xiao accounted for over 95%.

Seeing the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao’s eyes narrowed. He had guessed right, there was indeed someone who killed Isa from super long range, the purpose was clear – to silence her.

Su Xiao only met two witches, but they both knew some information about the Deathlands, which indicated one thing; most witches probably knew some news about the Deathlands, but they dare not speak. Isa ended up as a result.

"Mo."

While contemplating, Su Xiao walked towards the city gate; this word Mo has a 50% chance of being a place name, 30% chance of being a person’s name, 10% chance of certain artifacts, as for the remaining 10% possibility, that situation almost equals no clue found.

Undoubtedly, this ’Mo’ word must relate to witches. Thinking this way, Su Xiao needs to find a faction that understands witches very well, Holy Healing Church comes to his mind.

Witches are so powerful yet haven’t ruled the world, the main reason is due to the presence of the Holy Healing Church. This organization was established 900 years ago, initially a grassroots institution, gathering civilians whose families were killed by witches, or who were once victims of witches.

At first, everyone thought they were a rabble, but 30 years after the establishment of Holy Healing Church, they succeeded in hunting down a witch, although by poisoning + sneak attack.

After this, Holy Healing Church attracted attention from various forces and received some funding. In the same year, Holy Healing Church disbanded due to ’internal property’ issues, among the main members.

Was this really the case? Not so, those 176 Holy Healing Church members were enduring, attracting the witches’ attention, these 176 people with large funds went into hiding, along with certain research results.

Among these 176 people, 84 young men used extreme means to abduct over 100 young and healthy women, forcing them to bear offspring, as many as possible.

After these Holy Healing Church members obtained the first batch of progeny, they gathered again, due to the substantial funds received during the ’disbandment’. When they regrouped, some had become territorial lords, wealthy merchants, doctors, etc.

After regrouping, they started nurturing that batch of offspring, these children only needed to learn one thing, which was how to hunt witches.

years later, the first batch of witch hunters left Black Iron Castle, half a month later, 8 witches were killed one after another.

A thought could connect to the gods, two generations abandoned family ties, entertainment, family, and friends. Their only goal was to hunt witches, those teenagers were instilled with the belief from their fathers, to resist the shadows of witches for the people’s sake; this was their mission.

Though the belief was madness, these first-generation witch hunters did change the world; witches no longer dared to rampantly capture humans for live experiments, human test subjects sold openly had to be forced underground, witches were no longer the overlords on the continent, nor were they gods. When gods bleed, none would fear him anymore.

This is Holy Healing Church, a radical and persistent organization. To this day, witches hear the name ’Witch Hunter’ and turn pale. Even though they are merely relatively strong ordinary people, they use some peculiar things to weaken witches’ abilities. A gathering of more than 5 witch hunters usually means a witch can only flee.

The so-called holy healing originates from those who founded Holy Healing Church initially, wanting to heal the world in the name of ancestors, in the name of humans.

Su Xiao plans to head to Holy Healing Church, there may be information about the word ’Mo’.

Finding Holy Healing Church is simple, just go to the center of the continent, Holy Healing City; Holy Healing Church’s headquarters is there, the real estate in that city is the most expensive on the continent, bar none, because living there is very safe. As long as you’re willing to work, not only can you have enough to eat and drink, but you also have spare money to occasionally enjoy.

Thinking this, Su Xiao headed straight towards the city gate, but as he walked, he passed a market. It turned out to be a slave market, and more bizarrely, the slaves were loudly selling themselves!

Sometimes becoming a slave doesn’t fully signify despair. Under the control of Grand Lords everywhere, the slave trade gradually becomes transparent, six out of ten slaves are vagabonds; facing imminent starvation, they choose to sell themselves to slave owners, thus securing a full meal.

Bought through formal channels, male slaves are essentially death-controlled labor; female slaves warm beds, serve daily life of masters, etc.

Of course, in this chaotic continent, many slaves come from unclear origins. Demon’s Fangs, Rico, and Baba Yue’s three slave manors almost monopolize 70% of the continent’s slave business. Most kingdoms fear these three forces, Demon’s Fangs being the most ferocious, they dare to sell witches, imagining how fierce Demon’s Fangs’ military organization is.

Passing through the slave market, Su Xiao headed straight for the city gate. Half an hour later, Su Xiao exited the city, now having a simple map and dozens of books in hand, which he found inside the Royal Palace; through these books, he’ll understand the Dark Raven Continent better.

After continuously traveling for over 40 hours, Su Xiao reached the Central Plains area of the continent, then proceeded about 20 kilometers, arriving at the range governed by Holy Healing Church.

...

On the eastern side of Dark Raven Continent, in a Primitive Forest.

Crack, crack...

Large sections of space shattered, a sturdy arm broke through the space, its skin coal black.

With a thud, a figure was squeezed out by space, its lower half already missing, muscle quivered at the severed spot, 2 seconds later, this figure stood up, standing about four meters tall, with coal black skin all over, bald, pupils stark white. Just standing there, it gave a sense of strength and coldness.

"Finally arrived (Black Abyss Language)."

This humanoid creature with coal black skin moved its muscles and bones; he came from the Void, first entering the Black Abyss, having the opportunity to enter this original world. As for his companions, after exceeding certain power limits, they couldn’t enter the world set with coordinates by Reincarnation Paradise.
