Chapter 1078: The Superior Leader (27)
“I will tell you…”
The black dog leader lay on the ground helplessly. He gave up in the end.
Ming Shu released him and smiled down at the large dog below her. “I have reminded you before. If you said it earlier, you would not need to suffer so much.”
The black dog leader: “…”
Ming Shu sat back and crossed her legs. “Go on.”
The black dog leader panted heavily. “Yes… yes… it’s the witcher spirit.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t you all say that I am the witcher spirit? Why do you all summon the witcher spirit when I am in front of you? How can you succeed if you all didn’t have any sacrifices laid out?”
The black dog leader: “…” You should know whether you are the witcher spirit.
Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “How dare you all summon the witcher spirit behind my back.”
How dare the real witcher spirit come and snatch my job.
The black dog leader: “…”
The black dog leader felt tired. He didn’t want to talk to this crazy person.
Ming Shu went back to the main topic. “How do you know how to summon the witcher spirit?”
The black dog leader could still feel the pain in his body. He had no choice but to reply to her.
It started from the beast god’s mountain.
All the deformed shapeshifters were dumped into the beast god’s mountain. Only important people in a tribe were able to enter the mountain.
One day, the black dog leader went to leave a deformed shapeshifter at the beast god’s mountain.
He walked the path many times, but that time, he suddenly felt a chill.
This was not the normal kind of cold.
The chill came from the hole where the deformed shapeshifters were thrown into.
He wanted to leave after throwing the deformed shapeshifter in the hole.
However, when he was preparing to throw the shapeshifter down, a black ball of air rose up. The black dog leader had never seen this kind of scene before so he immediately ran away.
In his hurry, he stepped on something and fell into the hole.
He fell unconscious.
When he woke up, he saw the witcher spirit.
There were white bones all around it. The witcher spirit floated above the white bones. Everything looked sinister and eerie.
The witcher spirit had no form. It was just a black ball of air. But, it could talk and could change into a shapeshifter.
The black dog leader was frightened.
The witcher spirit ordered the black dog leader to listen to it and gave it the method to summon it so that he could use it when he met danger.
It even promised that if the black dog leader listened to it well, he could get whatever he wanted. Land, food, he would have an endless supply of it.
The black dog leader was brainwashed by the witcher spirit and started working for it.
The witcher spirit needed shapeshifters occasionally. It requested for the shapeshifters to be alive and they must be adults.
Ming Shu smiled. “Don’t you know what the situation is now? How can there be an endless supply of food? Did you kill all the shapeshifters?”
Shapeshifters only knew how to reproduce. They didn’t know how to plant food so the only thing they could eat was themselves. Where was the witcher spirit supposed to get food for him?
With the current environment, how much food could nature supply them?
Edible plants were almost extinct.
The black dog leader: “…”
Ming Shu asked, “Why did you catch Wen Nuan?”
“I don’t know. It asked me to do it.”
Wen Nuan was human. Why did the witcher spirit want her? Did he want to change his diet and have a taste of humans?
Based on the protagonist’s halo, it would not be an easy feat.
“What about Yun Huang? Why did you say that he was the witcher spirit?”
“Yun Huang?” The black dog leader was confused. Who was that?
“The person that you caught last time.”
That strange male?
The black dog leader replied, “I don’t know… but it seemed afraid of him. It told me that I must kill him.”
Afraid?
Yun Huang said… that he killed those shapeshifters because they were bad. Was it because they had been tainted by the witcher spirit?
What was Yun Huang?
“Does Hu Jiu know about this?”
The black dog leader was stunned for a moment at the sudden change of topic. He nodded after a while. “When I was talking with the witcher spirit one day, she overheard us. She was willing to work for the witcher spirit so it didn’t kill her.”
Hu Jiu was shocked by Ming Shu’s weapon and was caught at that time. It was normal for her to choose to work for the witcher spirit.
Ming Shu asked, “What does the witcher spirit want to do?”
The black dog tribe shook his head. “I don’t know. I only know that he planted many of its shapeshifters in every tribe. The person called… called Yun Huang killed all these shapeshifters.”
The black dog leader told her everything he knew.
Ming Shu asked him her last question. “How do you summon the witcher spirit?”
The black dog leader replied, “The witcher spirit gave me some things. When I want to summon it, I just need to sprinkle it into the air. The thing that Hu Jiu sprinkled was the last of the powder it gave us.”
Without the powder, they didn’t know how to contact the witcher spirit.
The witcher spirit would look for them if it needed their help.
There was no such storyline in the original story. Hu Jiu was supposed to just have s*x with different shapeshifters and then give birth to a bunch of baby shapeshifters.
However, this storyline might have happened in the female protagonist’s arc.
Witcher spirit…
Based on what the black dog leader told her, it sounded like the ghost of the shapeshifter world.
…
Ming Shu sat in the kitchen and ate her food. An unfamiliar male suddenly entered the room.
Ming Shu looked up. Their eyes met.
The male suddenly rushed toward Ming Shu.
What are you doing, what are you doing!
Why are you trying to snatch my food the moment you see me!
Ming Shu stepped back while protecting her food.
The male missed her. He fell to the ground uncontrollably due to his injury. He hugged Ming Shu’s leg.
“Ming Shu!”
Ming Shu: “…”
The only person who knew this name… was Luo Yan.
She hadn’t seen this lunatic in a while.
“You don’t have to bow down to me the moment you see me. Do you respect me so much?” Ming Shu looked at the person on the ground calmly.
Lunatic Luo Yan: “…”
He was injured!
It had nothing to do with her!
Luo Yan gave his signature crazy smile. “Long time no see.”
Ming Shu pulled her leg away and made to kick Luo Yan.
Luo Yan rolled away. He looked pitiful, but he managed to dodge her leg.
“You are still not cute at all.” Luo Yan smiled as he stood up forcefully from the ground. He brushed off the dust on his animal skin.
“How can I be cuter than you?” Ming Shu said. “You are unique to the world.”
Luo Yan looked at his animal skin. Then, he glanced at the blue dress on Ming Shu’s body.
Why was the difference so huge? They were both shapeshifters!
Why did the bird have such nice clothes?
Luo Yan scanned his surroundings. “I am not going to mess around with you. Where is Qi Yu?”
“Why are you looking for him?” Must the little demon appear just because you want him to?
Luo Yan looked at Ming Shu’s calm expression. She knew everything.
He stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, “Where is he? I have something to tell him.”
“Kill him? Or do you all want to kill me together?”
“…” Luo Yan started smiling again. “Are you afraid?”
Ming Shu smiled. “If you want to die in a pleasant way, you can stab me now.”
Ming Shu thoughtfully passed Luo Yan a kitchen knife.
Luo Yan’s mouth corners twitched.
Is it okay for her to pass a knife to her opponent just like this?
So what if you can’t die?
