Chapter 278: Seeking Tao

"Hey Hey."

Weird and sharp laughter reverberated throughout the small world. The torn space gap had not completely healed. The golden net and sparks were still faintly visible. The toad squatting in the center of the magic circle had a droopy mouth. With a blue-black tongue, his bulging eyes were half-closed, staring in the direction of the golden touch. His voice was the same as his tongue, full of sticky and lazy taste, making people feel itchy all over after listening to it. a feeling of:

"Hehe... that ewe has landed in the 'right' place... then... we need to speed up a little bit."

After saying this, one of his eyes turned back to the front and fell on the two witches in front of him. Kolma's eyes turned white, and there were a few wisps of pale hair in her hair. Her whole body was like a medicine that had been sugar-coated, exuding a bitter smell from the inside out. Elena was still holding the silver knife in one hand, half of her body was covered in bright red sheep blood, which contrasted with her burgundy wavy hair, revealing a strange beauty.

The other eye of the toad purred and turned in another direction, aiming at a witch outside the magic circle and the black cat beside her.

To be precise, his attention was mainly focused on the black cat.

"As a reward for attracting...coming...now, tell me your wish, wizard."

The toad grunted in a slimy voice, and his eyes showed cruelty and greed, but this did not mean that he would violate the rules set by the magic circle. According to the rules, while receiving the corresponding sacrifices, He will also satisfy certain wishes of the sacrificers.

"The great and secret existence..."

"The gods wandering deep in the starry sky..."

"I'm here to give my body, my soul, my everything..."

"Praying to you..."

"I pray that you will guide the magician on the way forward..."

Korma's voice was hoarse, but her tone became firmer. As a wizard who has reached the registered level, she already has enough knowledge and will not expect a limited contract to make an outer god pay too much. She only hopes that this existence has not exhausted its last bit. Before I was patient, I could sum up all her hopes in one concise sentence.

"You are not the 'Black Goat of the Forest that gave birth to thousands of descendants'," a weak but very sure voice from the other side of Kolma interrupted Kolma's words, and cracks appeared on Elena's white mask. , but her eyes were still clear. After hearing Kolma's prayer, she gritted her teeth and repeated and emphasized: "You are not the goddess of darkness and abundance!"

The giant toad looked down at the two witches, as if he didn't intend to say his name, but just said "hehe" and let out a series of weird and harsh sneers.

Kolma, who was lying on the ground, was silent for a moment without raising his head. He just raised the copper plate in his hand higher. The 'jelly' stained with spiritual blood in the plate was squirming crazily and changing into various shapes. But it has never been finalized, like an ooze monster.

The witch repeated the previous prayer in a dry but firm voice:

"The great and secret existence..."

"The gods wandering deep in the starry sky..."

"I'm here to give my body, my soul, my everything..."

"Praying to you..."

"I pray that you will guide the magician on the way forward..."

…

"Hey, hey... what a greedy and cute mushroom." The toad's laughter was mixed with unclear sounds, which made it particularly difficult for the witch who was trying to hear his words clearly. His parables are also very strange and terrifying:

"You offer sacrifices and pursue your desires... Hehe..."

"Life, wealth, fame, power... hehe..."

"Other mushrooms are very greedy, but very demanding..."

"Your greed is very small, but your demands are very big...hehe."

"Seeking truth for a group of terminally ill people..."

Different voices intertwined, as if dozens of people spoke at the same time, but they reverberated and merged into one, making people feel chest tightness and heart palpitations.

The toad looked into the eyes of the witch beneath him, and raised his eyelids slightly, letting more of the eyes leak out from the slits in his eyes, as if he wanted to see more clearly, to see clearly what kind of soul it was that was so greedy and unbridled in front of Him. .

Korma's body trembled slightly under the gaze of the outer god, but the copper plate he held in his hand did not move at all, and he lifted it higher. Elena was horrified to find that Kolma's arms were completely free from the restraints of the joints, and were controlled by a twisted force, lifting them upwards.

She wanted to scream, but found that only the thoughts in her mind were still flowing slowly throughout her body.

"The sacrifice...accepted."

"The way you asked for..."

"for you…"

The toad's green-black tongue shot out like a spring, heavily imprinting on the forehead of the witch's soul, leaving a black, winding trace like a tadpole.

The witch's spirit fell into a trance for a moment.

A majestic voice echoed in her spiritual world:

"... There are many roads to extraordinary power... You don't have to always follow the widest river... Sometimes, the narrow and twisty curves are the right 'road'..."

"... exchange for the power to cast spells through sacrifice..."

"...This is a fair deal..."

"Also an ancient power."

At the same time, an irresistible force spread out from the void, firmly binding the witch's soul and body, and began to drag it deep into the void.

The witch suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a hint of fear and anger in her eyes: "I haven't left a way for them yet! You can't take me away!! You violated the sacred contract!!!"

The huge toad squatted under the shadow of the gorgeous arch, its eyes narrowed to a slit at some point, staring at the witch with a look full of playfulness and boredom:

"Hey, hey... there is nothing sacred about contracts."

"The road has been given to you..."

"Appetizers are over."

Before he finished speaking, the originally quiet magic circle began to tremble violently, the surrounding air trembled, and the entire small world also trembled. The sun and moon hang upside down, the forest stands upside down in the void, the sun is buried in the earth, and the moon shines with bright yellow light, hanging obediently behind the big toad, replacing the collapsed arched door.

It's like an eyeball, supervising everything in this world.

After completing the 'work' he was summoned to do, this uninvited guest finally got rid of the shackles of the magic circle on the rules and gained room for further activities.

The other eye, which was always staring at the witch and the black cat outside the formation, slowly and laboriously raised its thick eyelids, and slowly opened it, like a smaller moon, emitting a luster that chilled everyone.
