"But then, what would that child think?" Bai Wei said, "A doctor who wouldn’t even take money, sighing while patting her shoulder saying ’I’ll do my best’ like that?"
"Do you think that child doesn’t know her parents are probably gone?" Bai Wei laughed, "What she wants is just the last bit of hope, but so many people aren’t even willing to give her that final hope."
Vic was silent for a long time, then gently nodded.
"I think I understand," he said, "If I find her parents, can you give me that music box?"
"Of course," Bai Wei laughed, "It’s originally your reward, the first hunter’s bounty."
Vic nodded seriously.
I don’t know how this happened.
Just now, Bai Wei gave him a feeling somewhat like that deceased old hunter.
A vague memory surged to the forefront, where someone reached out to him.
But he couldn’t recall who that person was.
On the road ahead, Bai Wei continued fiddling with the music box.
He tirelessly wound the mechanism, keeping the music box playing.
While Vic focused on pulling the cart.
Whether it was Bai Wei’s words earlier that prompted him, he now only wanted to quickly find the girl’s parents and get that music box.
The sky gradually darkened, during which he also asked Bai Wei if it was time to stop and hide for a while.
But Bai Wei consistently told him to keep going, to walk a bit further.
The road ahead was getting harder to see.
Only the music box behind was still playing continuously.
His legs were hurting, aching.
His hands were slightly twitching.
"Shouldn’t we stop now, Priest Ulu?" he asked once more.
This time, he didn’t get a response from Bai Wei.
At some point, even the music had disappeared.
Vic immediately stopped and turned back.
Nothing was on the cart, behind was only endless darkness.
"Priest Ulu?" He shouted into the darkness but still got no response.
Yet the darkness became more solid.
"Damn," Vic realized something and immediately reached back, his expression froze.
His axe had been destroyed the night before.
He realized the Blood Coagulation Potion to counter the darkness was on Bai Wei.
He instantly wanted to find a safe place to hide, but it was already too late.
Rotten shadows emerged from the darkness, slowly approaching him.
Vic panicked and turned to run.
But soon he felt his legs weaken, collapsing onto the ground.
After pulling the cart all day, his body had reached its limit, but only now did he realize it.
No one could answer Vic.
The shadows rushed down, quickly pinning Vic under them.
Vic let out a heart-wrenching scream.
All this fell into Bai Wei’s eyes not far away.
Bai Wei calmly watched, unmoved by Vic’s constant cries and pleas.
Soon, Vic’s voice vanished.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of shadows chewing.
No one survives under these circumstances.
A sharp claw suddenly pierced through the shadow’s body.
Then with a tearing sound.
The shadow was torn in two.
Vic’s head emerged from the black blood, simultaneously letting out an earth-shattering roar!
