Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 066 Prevention and Cooperation

"I feel like I've done something really dangerous." Shui Lin's expression was somewhat subtle, then she gave a mischievous smile, which seemed to carry a hint of provocation.

"What do you mean?" Luo Xi's expression shifted. "Do you also have this strange feeling?"

"It's like... accidentally touching someone else's private parts." Shui Lin lowered her head thoughtfully.

"Hurry up, which side are you betting on to win?" Luo Xi urged.

She didn't really care about that strange feeling; she simply didn't believe that Rose could appear here so quickly.

Besides, even if Rose really came, so what?

He had already given himself to his savior, sleeping with her for several nights.

After dealing with the abnormal incident, he will go back and find a hundred girlfriends to completely shatter Rose's unrealistic hopes.

Do you still want to accompany her to attain the Primordial Dao?

Thinking of the rose, Luo Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and feel a lingering fear, but then she let out a series of low laughs, as if to cheer herself up.

"How about this," Shui Lin said, regaining her composure after seeing her chuckle, "I bet they'll tie."

"Huh?" A bad feeling suddenly rose in Luo Xi's heart.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Zero Witch and Wei Ying were still evenly matched.

It's impossible to discern the magical reserves of a D-rank witch. The only certainty is that the area affected by their battle is at least over a hundred meters. As for other more specific information, it's likely that only by personally fighting a D-rank witch can one obtain it.

...Just go back and give Rose a good beating.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi was already getting impatient. Remembering her bet with Shui Lin, she could only helplessly say, "Fine, you win."

"Can I hug you then?" Shui Lin chuckled and leaned closer.

Luo Xi didn't move, intending to fulfill the agreement, but then saw Shui Lin suddenly stop in place.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled. "Hurry up, we still need to stop them after this. We haven't dealt with the unusual incident yet."

Shui Lin, no longer the lively girl she once was, said seriously, "No, I sense malice... Even though it's far away, I feel like I'll die a terrible death if I hug you."

"Huh? I didn't feel anything?" Luo Xi looked confused, then shook her head nonchalantly. "That's settled then. Let's go stop Captain Wei Ying and the Zero Witch. I have a way to separate them."

"What method?" Shui Lin's eyes lit up again, full of curiosity.

"Think about it, Captain Wei Ying took action mainly because the Zero Witch killed our teammate, plus she originally had the task of dealing with the Zero Witch," Luo Xi said firmly. "Having fought to this point, they should know that they can't do anything to the other side, and Captain Wei Ying should have calmed down by now."

"But she never responded in the mind link," Shui Lin pointed out.

"That means they've gotten carried away," Luo Xi said immediately. "We just need to separate them!"

"Get ready to defend," Luo Xi said, standing behind Shui Lin. "We'll interrupt them!"

Surrounded by scorching flames, Wei Ying transformed into various forms such as the Vermilion Bird, Phoenix, and Flying Dragon, relentlessly lunging at her opponent under her will.

Confronting her was a slightly deranged girl—Witch Zero.

The Zero Witch frantically activated her telekinetic powers, manipulating the surrounding rubble and broken wood to attack Wei Ying. However, as soon as the debris approached Wei Ying, it was melted and deformed by the high temperature and some kind of twisting force, and fell to the ground.

It's unclear whether it's the high temperature of the flames, Wei Ying's magical properties—the distortion of matter—that cause the effect, or perhaps both.

Wei Ying made her move again, and the phoenix formed from flames flapped its wings and charged forward.

Just then, two figures suddenly burst into the battlefield.

The blue-haired figure summoned a thick ice shield, but the fiery phoenix pierced through the ice and rushed straight at them.

It was Shui Lin.

Knowing that Wei Ying wouldn't really hurt her teammates, Luo Xi didn't focus on taking care of Shui Lin. Instead, she activated her consciousness walking ability, teleported to the side of the Zero Witch, grabbed her long hair, and activated her consciousness walking ability again.

With a few flashes, Luo Xi and the Zero Witch appeared a hundred meters away.

As soon as they stopped, they met Zero Witch's cold and unfriendly gaze.

"You attacked my teammate first, so it's normal for Captain Wei Ying to be angry," Luo Xi said expressionlessly. "If you still want to fight, I can send you back."

Seeing that the Zero Witch still had a cold expression and her gaze was fixed on the strand of hair in her hand, Luo Xi finally let go: "Sorry, the situation was urgent just now."

"Hello, Captain Wei Ying, can you hear me?" Ignoring the silent Zero Witch, Luo Xi called out through telepathy.

"Miss Witch, why did you take her away?" Wei Ying's voice was icy.

"Captain, our primary task is to deal with the abnormal incident. The Zero Witch is a force to be reckoned with," Luo Xi said, somewhat troubled. "There are still over 200,000 people whose fates are unknown, and the Witch Council may have other plans. Can we calm down first? If not, I can wait, but who knows how many more will die later?"

Wei Ying did not answer.

"It's not that I don't want you to have a good fight," Luo Xi said with a headache, and could only continue to persuade, "It's not too late to fight after the matter is resolved."

"...Fine, bring her here, I won't lay a hand on her again." Wei Ying's tone remained icy, and her attitude towards her changed drastically.

Helpless, Luo Xi turned to the Zero Witch: "Stop attacking. I've already reached an agreement with Wei Ying, and she won't interfere anymore."

After a long silence, the Zero Witch finally nodded.

"Let's go over there." Luo Xi grabbed the Zero Witch, activated her consciousness walking again, and returned to Wei Ying and Shui Lin in the blink of an eye.

Wei Ying and the Zero Witch stared at each other coldly, as if they were competing to see who would look away first.

Shui Lin cast a slightly resentful glance at Luo Xi, who could only return an apologetic expression.

"I'm going to pick up Yue Tong." After saying that, Luo Xi left without looking back, using her consciousness to walk away. A few minutes later, she returned with Yue Tong.

Seeing that Wei Ying and Zero Witch were still exchanging glances, and that Le Tong and Shui Lin remained silent due to the oppressive atmosphere in the team, Luo Xi sighed inwardly.

She really should be the captain.

"I hope to share information about this unusual event," she said, looking at the Zero Witch and getting straight to the point. "That's part of the basics of our cooperation, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the Zero Witch finally glanced at Wei Ying and slowly said, "I don't have specific information either, but I can confirm that this is an abnormal event caused by human intervention."

"An anomaly caused by human intervention?" Wei Ying and Le Tong both looked up upon hearing this. Although Luo Xi had previously made this speculation, she listened attentively.

"As you all know, the death of a witch can trigger unusual events," Witch Zero said with a sneer, "but here, at least three witches have died."

"Three witches?" Everyone's expression changed.
