Chapter 86 The Witch's Choice

Ye Zi didn't know how she survived these days,

It took her nearly half a month to return from the wilderness to the camp in the Impassable Mountains. In order to avoid the evil beasts, she carefully hid in the thick tree trunk, and after confirming that there were no evil beasts nearby, she went to the next hiding place. Although she was very anxious, she had no other choice. Once discovered by a hybrid evil beast, she would not be able to escape the pursuit with her own strength.

More than a dozen sisters fell under the killing of the devil, and the other sisters were not good at fighting at all. They fled in all directions when the iron-handed devil jumped into the crowd and slaughtered wantonly, but in the end, a few of them returned to the camp alive. Ye Zi didn't know what to do. She dared not even think about the dreaded question.

The way of walking and hiding all the way consumes a lot of magic power, and you can only walk more than ten miles a day, especially if you have to prepare the magic power needed to stay overnight. After eating the dry food on her body, she transformed some wild fruits into food that could satisfy her hunger and thirst. The emblem of the Mutual Aid Society had long lost its function of keeping warm, so she could only wrap herself a little tighter with bark. Thinking of Si Nuo who died here before she was a teenager, Ye Zi's tears could not stop falling down.

To make matters worse, by the fourth night, she was confronted by a daemon phagocytosis in the tree trunk—a series of blows that made her almost forget about it. A sharp tearing pain suddenly burst from her chest and quickly spread to her whole body, almost causing her to lose consciousness for a moment. Only by biting her tongue until her mouth was full of blood did she gather her energy to fight against the pain. Under the torment of the evil demon's body, Ye Zi also thought of giving up, but when she thought of the twenty or so sisters who might have survived, they were either waiting for her return in the camp, or were seriously injured and needed her treatment and rescue. Gritting his teeth, he persisted.

Fortunately, the time for the demon to phagocytize was not too long this time. When she broke free from the suffering, there were cracks all over her body, and the blood that flowed out wet the inside of the tree trunk. In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting evil beasts, she had to endure the pain, took off her clothes, and went to another big tree. At the same time, let the bare branches grow green leaves, and then make the green leaves into clothes that can keep out the cold. Under the guidance of magic, the branches became her needles, and the veins became her threads.

She didn't eat a sip of cooked food or drink a sip of hot water along the way. After entering the Impassable Mountains, even though she added two more layers to her green leafy clothes and wrapped her hands and feet tightly, the rapidly dropping temperature and the snow that covered her ankles still frostbited her toes. Just like this, stopping and going, dragging her unconscious feet, she finally returned to the camp.

Seeing the familiar figures of the sisters, Ye Zi fell headlong to the ground.

It was two days after she woke up. The long-term hypothermia caused severe injuries to her feet, and herbal medicine could not stop the growing gangrene. As a last resort, the sisters amputated two damaged toes on her left foot and two damaged toes on her right foot. head.

Ye Zi didn't care too much, she was lucky enough to survive, compared to those sisters who would never come back, she was already lucky enough. However, when he saw the white cloth bands wrapped around the arms of the still alive, he couldn't restrain his great grief from the bottom of his heart.

There were forty-two sisters when they set out, now only six remain.

After everyone comforted Ye Zi, the oldest scroll told her about the experiences of the group.

When she was fighting with the devil, the non-combat witch took the opportunity to escape towards the camp. That night they encountered evil beasts—a group of wild boars. The crowd was powerless to resist, so they scattered and fled. The group that was hunted by the evil beasts was clearly more dangerous than good, but they couldn't care less about it anymore. The next morning, everyone was targeted by a wolf-shaped hybrid again, and only eight escaped this time. Fortunately, after entering the Impassable Mountain Range, the evil beasts did not follow up.

A few days after returning to the camp, the two sisters successively showed symptoms of magical backlash. Perhaps it was because the Mutual Aid Society had been hit too hard this time, and the prospects were gloomy. Both of them failed to survive the demon's phagocytosis. But the battle witches have not returned for a long time, just when everyone thought they died under the hands of the devil, they did not expect Ye Zi to come back.

"So... what about the others? Red pepper, Zhuifeng, and Master Tutor, how are they doing?"

Ye Zi shook her head, "Only I survived."

"Is that so..." Shujuan replied softly, and it could be seen that she had expected this answer, "Then you should have a good rest. And..." She hesitated, "Yezi."

"what?"

"When you were in a coma, we discussed it. If Hakara didn't come back, I hope you can take over the position of mentor."

Leaf froze for a moment, then closed her eyes. Yes, after suffering such a tragic blow, the Mutual Aid Society will collapse immediately if it does not elect a new leader. But the purpose of the mutual aid society is to find the holy mountain, to obtain freedom and a resting place. Now the search for the Holy Mountain has come to naught, no, the "Holy Mountain" itself is a deception, it does not exist in the Impassable Mountain Range, nor does it exist in the wild land. In this way, is the mutual aid society necessary to exist?

She was in a state of confusion, even if she didn't look at them, she could still feel the expectant eyes of the sisters. They needed someone to stand up and lead the confused people to move on.

"Let's... go find Nightingale," Ye Zi said after a long silence.

"What, looking for her?"

"You mean to go to Border Town?"

"What if she lied to us?"

"Wendy is there too."

"Maybe she's already dead."

The sisters yelled. Shujuan clapped his hands to calm everyone down, and asked Ye Zi, "What if what Nightingale said was also a hoax?"

"You can wait in a safe place outside the town," she opened her eyes. "Let me find out the situation first. If what she said is a lie, I will take over the position of mentor. If... I die in the town, Scroll, you lead the sisters to continue walking."

"But I..."

Ye Zi smiled reluctantly, "I know your ability is not suitable for fighting, and it is not very helpful for the daily operation of the camp. But I understand now that the strength of your ability has nothing to do with whether you are suitable for being a mentor." A mentor is a guide. Rather than the most capable, it is a pity that I realized it too late. If the mentor of the Mutual Aid Society is the patient and careful Wendy, will the ending be completely different? "Like Wendy, you are the first to join the Mutual Aid Society, and you are also the elder among the sisters. You accompanied everyone to the Impassable Mountain Range from the east of the kingdom. You have rich experience and act cautiously. Everyone sees it. No one compares You are more suitable to be the mentor of the sisters."

Shujuan was silent for a moment, "...What if what Nightingale said is true?"

"Then there is no need for the Mutual Aid Society to exist anymore," Ye Zi said slowly, "Border Town is our "New Sacred Mountain". "
