Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Haida broke into a cold sweat.

Why doesn't it work? Haida couldn't understand or understand.

Isn't the firepower powerful enough? Or is this witch actually blind?

No, the villagers have already said that the witch named Melina is only blind in one eye.

But time no longer allowed Haida to think any more, so she forced out a stiffer smile:

Look, the fireworks, don't they look good? I want to celebrate your joining the caravan.

Melina looked at Haida with surprise and a little indifference. The villager next to Haida who acted as her eyes described it vividly.

Melina didn't respond to Haida. The forest was a little cold for a while, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

Help, can anyone help relieve this atmosphere? Haida's heart was calling for someone to break the deadlock.

There was another sound coming from deep in the woods, and someone was really approaching.

Even though she knew she couldn't see it, Haida turned around happily to see who was so discerning.

Haida could hear the trees snap.

It turns out to be a construction team logging wood. Haida wanted to greet them.

Then there was a roar, and a large amount of saliva sprayed onto Haida's face, soaking her blindfold.

In front of Haida, a huge rune bear stood there, with thick arms like a small tree.

When it came over, the surrounding trees were all broken.

What makes this giant bear even more special is that dim flames burst out from its eyes, its beard and hair are trembling, and its face is bloodshot, showing a kind of madness.

Haida was trembling slightly and wanted to help the villagers beside her:

Go quickly.

But Haida's hand was empty and she was caught off guard. She lost her balance and fell to the ground, scratching her palm.

The villagers who originally surrounded Haida had already disappeared.

Rune Bear slapped it with his paw, but Haida just dodged it as she fell down. The strong wind blew up Haida's bangs, revealing her long back.

But the next time he was not so lucky, the big bear raised his upper body and smashed down violently, with a devastating momentum.

Is this how my mission ends?

Haida wanted to cry, but she was unwilling to do so.

Haida stretched out her hand and climbed and struggled in the soil. The stones and thorns scratched her clothes, leaving bloody traces.

She just begged to escape the rune bear's attack, and longed for Master Finger to give her guidance and let her crawl to a safe place.

A boot stepped on the back of Haida's hand, and Haida screamed in pain.

None of the villagers wore boots, and Haida concluded that Melina had stepped on her hard and hard.

It's so vicious, why don't you let me run away even if I'm blind? Haida felt bitter.

But how could she step on me? Why haven't you escaped yet? This thought flashed through Haida's mind.

Melina stepped on the back of Haida's hand, crossed Haida with quick steps, and stood between Haida and the Rune Bear.

Facing the rune bear's attack with her whole body weight, Melina twisted slightly, stepped on the solid ground with both feet, turned her waist, and punched the bear's paw for a head-on collision.

The unstoppable momentum of the rune bear was actually blocked by the slender girl. The bear's paws could no longer fall, and the scene fell into a moment of stillness.

After neutralizing the rune bear's attack, Melina pushed her feet back and kicked Haida far away, scratching the dirt and thorns along the way.

Then Melina stopped blocking, and the sharp claws of the bear's paw brushed against Melina's cheek.

Melina took out a short knife and quickly made bloody holes in the giant bear's body.

The giant bear roared frequently, but was dodged by Melina's elegant movements.

Like an angry bull being constantly bled by the matador.

After fighting for a moment, the giant bear roared, and the turbulent sound waves forced Melina to distance herself.

Just as Melina was about to float to the side of the giant bear again, the giant bear suddenly turned around, broke several trees, and ran in the opposite direction.

Give up? Melina murmured. She looked up at the scorching sun above her head, remembering the fire in the giant bear's eyes.

Melina did not pursue him, but held her hands in front of her chest and recited a prayer.

A golden sapling rose from the ground, holy and upright, growing rapidly, growing taller and taller, growing lush branches and leaves, and golden light flowing all around along the crown and trunk.

Haida was also exposed to the light, and the wounds on her face that had been scratched healed quickly and returned to normal.

There was another roar in the distance, and the earth trembled.

It turned out that the Rune Bear did not run away, but distanced itself, and then launched a wave of charges.

The big bear jumped up high, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and smashed its entire body into Melina.

Melina, however, concentrated on reciting the prayer and even closed her eyes.

The sapling of light rose again, and the branches completely covered Melina - naturally blocking the Rune Bear's attack.

The rune bear that rushed towards Melina was held up by the fiercely growing sapling, and then the thick chest muscles were directly broken and pierced by the branches. It entered from the chest and emerged from the back, exploding into a large mass of flesh and blood.

The branches continued to grow, like golden grass facing the sun, heading straight towards the fireball in the sky and piercing it.

Like a punctured balloon, the fireball began to dissipate, but the trees continued to grow, and the dissipating flame light was gradually buried in the light of the branches.

The light tree supports the giant bear, rising higher and higher.

Then the light tree collapsed, the giant bear smashed down, and the vegetation flew into the air.

Just as the light tree rose into the sky and came into contact with the fireball, the giant bear's fur was burned away and turned into a bald bear.

The flames in the giant bear's eyes gradually disappeared, along with the vitality and light in their eyes.

Melina released another tree of light. This time it was much smaller and gentler. The tree's light shaded the giant bear and healed its injuries.

But Mao didn't come back, so he had to wait for the giant bear to recover.

Melina touched the giant bear's head: Go back.

The Rune Bear whimpered, turned around and disappeared into the deep forest.

Melina opened her legs and walked to Haida without getting up to help her.

I never said I wanted to join that guy's caravan. Melina continued the previous conversation.

After this crisis, Haida had forgotten what they were talking about before the bear came, and she was still a little unresponsive.

But she still subconsciously understood that what Melina said was beneficial to her, so she nodded.

Thank you. Haida said.

You should thank your boss. Melina said, Without that guy's words, I would not have helped you when I saw your ugly state of struggle.

After Melina finished speaking, she also walked away, her body gradually becoming transparent and disappearing.

Before disappearing, Melina's last words came from afar:

Also, don't set off fireworks in the woods next time, that's a crime.

===========

Haida returned to Dianhuo Village with a gray face, stumbling around, touching tree trunks one by one, looking at the nameless figures in the distance.

Haida's mood was a bit complicated after her life was saved by the person she wanted to harm.

But it's just a little complicated.

More of a blessing.

Such a powerful witch seems to be even more powerful than the faded one she serves. Fortunately, this witch is not interested in Wuming, otherwise she would not be able to stop him no matter what.

Master Witch, are you okay? When the villagers of Dianhuo Village saw Haida coming back, they hurried over to greet her, as if they were not the ones who had left the Master Witch behind and let the Rune Bear deal with her.

Now I know I care. Haida complained.

We can't help it. After all, even if we were added together, we wouldn't be enough to slap that monster. said a resident of Dianhuo Village.

Where is your Bending Fire? Haida said, If you use Bending Fire together, even giant beasts can be burned to charcoal in an instant.

The residents of Dianhuo Village looked embarrassed:

Ms. Witch, you should know better than we do. This Blinking Fire cannot be controlled by humans. We have worked very hard to squeeze out some of it in our eyes. Aren't we all using it to summon fireballs? Let us squeeze out the Bending Fire again. Go burn the bear, we really don’t have a drop left.”

You still need to exercise. Haida said, Otherwise, how will you perform the mission next?

Is there still a mission? Dianhuo villagers were a little scared, Is it still as dangerous as before?

Don't worry, it's safe this time. It will be solved in the village. No rune bears or anything like that will bother you. Haida said.

Who are you going to tackle?

Haida said: It's not just that one witch.

That's right, Haida's sense of crisis was brought about not by one witch, but by two.

Only by completely eradicating competitors can Haida feel at ease. Just like the stepmother of the princess who doesn't feel at ease unless she kills the princess.

The heavy setback she suffered from Melina could not stop Haida's heart. A heart that has been baptized by fire is tough. A small setback cannot change what the Fire Witch has decided.

You want to deal with the finger witch in the Calm Church? The residents of Dianhuo Village were a little reluctant. Is this okay? That witch may be Lord Vic's witch.

What is Vic's witch? Haida disagreed. Vic has been sealed for how long. Her witch must have died long ago. That must be a wild witch who comes from nowhere. You have bad eyesight, how can you do that? Make sure that’s Vic’s witch.”

The villagers in Dianhuo Village were silent, obviously not knowing how to respond to a blind man accusing them of having bad eyesight.

On the one hand, these patients with infertility do have poor eyesight, but it is a bit strange for a blind man to say this.

But the villagers agreed.

As long as the master witch's plan can bring us the king and get rid of a few witches, it won't be a problem. The villagers said and began to prepare swords. There were no swords in the village, so they picked up pitchforks and hatchets.

Sharpening the knife to the church of calm.

Wait, we can't do it there, it's too public. Haida said, We can't let the king find out.

Where are we going? You tell me. The local villagers asked the blind man from other places humbly.

How do I know, isn't this your village? The blind man from out of town really didn't know and threw the question back.

The Dianhuo villagers thought for a while: How about... go to the kitchen?

Kitchen? Haida said.

Yes, we have a big kitchen, and we usually let people with good eyesight and no disease make a big pot of rice. This prevents each family from cooking their own meals, and the house is burned down. Dianhuo villager said, It's big enough, and it's closed. It’s like this, and outsiders can’t see what’s going on inside. Normally, in order to handle the whole village’s food, the kitchen knives and stoves are very large, and the corpses can also be easily disposed of – we don’t mind improving the food.”

Okay, then there. Haida was overjoyed and agreed to the plan.

The first step is to lure the Finger Witch out of the Calm Church.

Haida is still responsible for this step.

Who would be wary of a pitiful blind girl who grows lotuses every step of the way?

Haida walked to the Quiet Church with the help of a villager. The villagers acted as her eyes and described the surrounding conditions to her in detail.

The witch is still sitting there, and so is the Faded One, with the witch.

Haida's heart tightened: Is the king here too?

It's the other fader, the one with the bare bottom.

Haida's heart was still tight: Is that faded witch here?

Not here.

Haida said, What are they doing?

The villager rubbed his cloudy eyes with some uncertainty:

Maybe it's... Qingqing me me?

ah?

They seemed to be whispering, talking and laughing.

Can you hear them laughing? Haida wondered, Why can't I hear it? I have very good hearing.

I just saw the finger witch hiding her mouth and smiling. The villager explained.

She is indeed a scumbag. Haida said immediately, I have long seen that she is not a good person!

Haida had no sense of guilt just now, but now she has a sense of justice for heaven.

Killing such witches who do not abide by the witchcraft will simply purify the environment of finger witches.

Haida immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:

What are you talking about?

The husband seemed to be frightened and looked around as if he was a guilty thief.

Then Tuifu said: It's nothing, this sister is praising me.

Tuifu chuckled and scratched his head.

Praise? Haida was a little confused.

Tuifu said: Melina has never praised me! She never said anything like you have done a good job or worked hard!

Tuifu bit his lower lip, showing a constipated expression like a rabbit:

Even if I finally defeated the enemy, she just nodded and assigned me the next target. I also worked very hard! I am getting stronger. She is obviously my witch, and she doesn't encourage me when she sees me getting stronger. , as if she is stronger than me.

She may indeed be better than you... Haida thought to herself.

She was thinking about how to get rid of this faded person. Haida did not dare to comfort the faded one. If she did, she would probably be entangled like the fingered witch.

While he was distressed, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in the church.

Melina suddenly appeared behind her husband again and said:

I heard it all.

Ah! Tuifu fell to the ground, moved back, and smiled at Melina, Just now... that was just a joke. I just need to relieve some stress...

Melina completely ignored her husband's explanation and just asked:

Have you completed the practice task given to you?

Taifu was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Melina reminded him:

One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer long run.

Tui Fu’s forehead was covered with cold sweat:

not yet.

Melina suddenly appeared behind her husband, grabbed his cloak and dragged him out:

Then go practice. You are not allowed to eat until the task is completed.

The screams of Tuofu became farther and farther away, and finally they could not be heard clearly.

Haida also came back to her senses and secretly felt lucky.

Melina actually didn't expose her. She didn't know whether it was because she didn't care, or because she really didn't see her intention.

Now she had the chance to invite the Finger Witch to the kitchen.

Haida raised her smile again and walked towards the finger witch:

Sister, are you hungry?

The Finger Witch felt strange about the way Haida greeted her, but she still nodded:

I'm hungry. I haven't had a normal meal in a long time.

Let's go to the kitchen and cook for you. Haida said.

The finger witch said: If you invite someone to dinner normally, would you let them go to the kitchen?

Haida was stiff for a while:

This is... to allow you to eat hot meals as soon as possible.

The finger witch looked at Haida for a moment, then nodded:

Okay, that's fine too.
