Chapter 27 The Witch's Hut

"Stop!" Odo raised his hand and signaled that after leaving the brigade, the five of them had been away from the iron cage car covered with black cloth for almost half a day.

After Odo stopped the team, he ran to the front alone and patrolled under several particularly thick trees in the forest.

"Mr. Odo, have you noticed anything?" Qin Lun and Boni strolled behind him.

"Look at the underside of this forest!" Odo said with a smile in his eyes and pointed at the front.

The exorcist team has been in the Maiya Forest for three days. Now it is gradually deepening into the big forest, and the canopy above the head is getting denser. Even when the sun is scorching in the sky, the sunlight that can shine into the forest is less than half.

Qin Lun looked closely and saw that the trees in front were tall and stout, with fallen leaves overlapping on the ground and mottled green shade. He could not see any special situation. The only difference from other areas is that the trees in this area are covered with various mushrooms. They look layered, like a layer of small umbrellas.

"It's so close to this point, and we haven't noticed us yet." A blush flashed across Boni's face, suppressing his inner excitement. "It seems that the witch put all her thoughts on controlling the magic creatures, and Ms. Nova did not send out a firework signal... Our judgment is correct!"

"You... mean that this place is close to the witch's nest!" Qin Lun's expression moved and immediately understood Boni's statement.

"Well, I've read it in the book that most witches who live in the forest grow mushrooms near their nests." Blay walked from behind and said excitedly, "There is no rice produced in the forest, and mushrooms are a good food."

"His Excellency Boni, now you can release it, it will definitely help us find the witch!" Odo turned around and looked at the carriage that Frank was driving and said seriously.

"Okay, I'll let it come out now!" A glimmer flashed in Boni's eyes, and he strode towards the carriage, and pulled off the black tarpaulin covered on the carriage.

"Dang!" The carriage was indeed carrying a large iron cage. Boni opened the large iron lock of the cage and pulled it out.

This creature has developed muscles, legs upright, hands longer than knees, fingernails as sharp as a knife, and its whole body is covered with black fur. It seems that it has just woken up from its long sleep, and its vision is still a bit hazy, but its green pupils reveal unconcealed cruelty and violence.

Suddenly I saw Boni in front of me. It leaned over slightly, its chest bulged up, its pointed ears on its head stood upright, baring its long canine teeth, saliva dripping from its mouth, and making a low roar.

"Beast, quiet!" Boni had a long whip in his hand at some point, and with a "bang", he whipped in the air.

"Woo!" A trace of fear flashed through the beast's eyes, and its sharp ears drooped, and it squatted on the ground like an obedient puppy.

"Werewolf!" Bry widened his eyes and exclaimed softly.

This kind of creature actually exists! Qin Lun looked at the werewolf in front of Boni, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed through his eyes.

Although Qin Lun has been hearing the legends of witches and evil creatures since he entered this world, and even saw gargoyles and white figures suspected to be ghosts, he always felt that everything had an unreal hazy feeling. The appearance of the werewolf seemed to reveal the last layer of fog in this world, making him finally believe in the dark side behind this world.

Could it be that the epidemic in the Odia area is really a masterpiece of the witch? Perhaps there is no truth in Stephen's death, or perhaps Stephen is still imprisoned in a witch's nest? Qin Lun had to start guessing other possibilities of Stephen's death!

No, even if Stephen is aside, the strange condition of Xiao Miller must be related to the Albert family itself. And how should the white figure explain it? That is definitely not the witch's work!

Qin Lun's mind was full of thoughts. No matter what, his other premonition was correct. This reconnaissance mission would definitely give him new clues, truly solve Stephen's mystery, and decipher the root cause of the epidemic.

"Go and find out where the witch is!" Boni touched the werewolf's head and whispered in its ear.

The werewolf's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he ran a few steps on all sides, jumped onto a big tree, his sharp nails firmly grasped the trunk, and several leaps disappeared into the woods.

"Come on it!" Boni seemed to have a mysterious connection with the werewolf. He could know where the werewolf was at any time. He waved his hands to the people behind him, and then led the way in front.

"His Excellency Boni, I can't tell that you are a beast trainer, and you can even tame werewolf!" Qin Lun leaned over to Boni and said softly.

"Haha, I'm not a real beast trainer. This werewolf has been serving the Albert family since I became sensible. However, she has been locked in the deputy fortress of prison, and few people know about it!" Boni seemed very interested and took the initiative to explain to Qin Lun.

Looking at Boni's cheerful look, Qin Lun's heart moved and asked tentatively: "Old Boni, you seem to be looking forward to fighting with the witch. Is this your first time seeing a real witch?"

"Of course not, but this is the first time since Stephen's accident!" Boni's face darkened.

"Your brother Stephen Albert?" Qin Lun asked in surprise, "I'm sorry, I heard that something happened to him while he was in a single trial. It's a pity that he was just that at his age, why hasn't he been in a trial before?"

Judging from the tombstone, Stephen Albert was already in his thirties when he died, and was Boni's brother. Compared to Boni, the experienced exorcist, Stephen was more like a reckless exorcist in the rumors, which is one of the doubts that Qin Lun could not let go.

"Stephen is different from me. He has never liked to participate in battles since he was a child, and it was even more so after he got married!" Boni's face was a little gloomy, "In fact, during his accident, I was not in Albert Castle, but traveled in another place. Afterwards, my father recalled the castle!"

"Oh, that's really strange. You really did Stephen die at the hands of a witch?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully avoided angering Boni, "Oh, sorry, I shouldn't question your brother!"

"It's okay, I know what you are doubting! Even when I first heard this news, I couldn't believe that Stephen, who had always disliked fighting, would suddenly decide to go alone to trouble the witch!" Boni sighed and said with a wry smile.

"However, there is a reason. Stephen's wife was attacked by a magical creature during an outing... In order to protect the pair of children who were following her, she was seriously injured and died the next day, so..."

Qin Lun's face showed a hint of understanding, as if he understood the twists and turns of this secret. His wife's sudden death was tragic, and his son was infected with a disease by magic creatures. No wonder Stephen, who didn't like fighting, was heartbroken and rushed into the Maiya Forest where the witches gathered, and ended up killing himself in it, leaving only a pair of orphans.

The Albert family's external explanation is reasonable. No wonder the exorcists firmly believe that the epidemic in the Odia region was the work of the witch. They pay a huge price and have to bypass the thousand-year contract and implement the battle plan to capture the witch.

"Is Stephen's wife named Mary?" Qin Lun asked confidently.

"Mary? Who is that? Stephen's wife is Nina!" Boni was slightly stunned and replied casually.

"Don't you know Mary?" Qin Lun's pupils shrank, and he was about to speak again, but he heard a scream from the two of them.

"Ah!" The scream belonged to Bry, the young exorcist. The others were slightly surprised and turned to look.

Originally, Blai was missing on the left, and in the direction he was moving, several huge plants appeared. These plants looked extremely strange, with more than ten green leaves as big as bananas laid on the ground, with brightly colored stamens in them, emitting a thick fragrance, like a huge lotus flower flat on the ground.

One of the plants, with wide leaves in a certain direction, had curled up, like a burrito, wrapping Blai from head to toe into a big dumpling.

"It's a giant man-eating flower!" Boni said with a serious expression, "We must cut off its rhizomes quickly, otherwise Bly will suffocate!"

"We really shouldn't have let this kid come with you!" Odo shook his head, took a big machete from behind, and walked straight towards the giant cannibal flower.

There are five of these giant cannibal flowers, surrounded by them. If you want to cut off the one that tied up Blair, you must first kill the two next to it. I am afraid that you will not be able to save anyone in a short period of time.

"I promised his mother that she would not let him die here!" Odo's face changed a few times, hesitated for a while, and turned to look at Boni.

"Do it! We haven't seen the witch yet, so we can't just give up our companions." Boni hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Qin Lun was confused by the words of the two, but the next move of Odo and Boni finally made him understand what the puzzle they were fighting, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two of them actually found a flintlock shotgun.

This large-caliber shotgun is very powerful, filled with steel balls, and two guns are enough to kill two cannibal flowers that block the road. Before Blay suffocated, he must be able to save him, but the sound of this gun is also very loud...

"Bang, bang!" With two loud noises, the two human-eating flowers next to them were immediately sprayed with steel beads, and all the leaves shrank back, giving up the human-eating flowers that trapped Blay.

Looking at Odo and Boni who were slashing with their swords, Qin Lun sighed. Even the witch was deaf, even the deaf man heard it. Perhaps she was busy commanding magic creatures to monitor Nova and others, but now she would definitely notice the exorcists who had come to her nose.

"Yes... I'm sorry!" Blai wiped the man-cannibal slime on his face and blushed, "I was a little distracted just now!"
