Chapter 172: Nais Hatred

  The monkey-faced man had completely collapsed, his lips trembling, and his hands wildly pushing the ground to retreat backwards. He not only lost both legs, but the true yuan in his body was also constantly draining away. What is called "self-destruction by severing one's veins" is actually forcing the true yuan inside the body to destroy oneself. Now that the true yuan can no longer be forced, self-destruction has become a luxury.

  Lin Ming took out a hemostatic herb worth several hundred taels of gold from the package, crushed it, and sprinkled the juice on the monkey-faced man's legs. The bleeding stopped instantly.

  He didn't want the monkey-faced man to die from excessive blood loss.

  "What... what do you want?" The monkey-faced man's voice was trembling, now he was just a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

  Lin Ming turned to Nai and said, "You are a Gu Master, shouldn't you have a way to dispel the Gu?"

  Nai was taken aback for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "There is a way."

  "Come on and solve it, I think you don't want to support a crippled monkey for the rest of your life either."

  Nai silently walked towards the monkey-faced man, pulling out a dagger as she went.

  At that moment, the monkey-faced man was desperate and hopeless, he had never experienced such pain, powerless to resist, waiting for the moment of death.

  "Nai Shui, turn your face away." Nai Yi said suddenly.

  "Oh......" Nanshui responded with a sound, immediately turning around obediently. The series of scenes just now had too great an impact on this little girl's heart.

  Lin Ming vaguely realized something and True Essence transmitted a sound: "The scene is very bloody, don't you want to let your sister see it? I think she will experience this kind of scene in the future too."

  Nai fell silent for a moment before saying, "I hope she never goes through that."

  "Alright, how do we break the curse?"

  Nai said: "There is no special way, it can only be taken out before he dies."

  Nai said. With a sudden stab, the small dagger pierced into the heart of the monkey-faced man, as if cutting tofu, and made a "plop" sound before reaching its end.

  The monkey-faced man let out a fierce cry of despair, but he had already lost his martial arts skills. How could the heavily injured and dying him possibly resist the three-layered physical training of Nai?

  Nai grasped the dagger and pulled it with force, directly slashing open the chest of the monkey-faced man. Then, she stabbed in one more time, cutting through the still-beating heart. Fresh blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing Nai's face.

  However, she just blinked her eyes and didn't bother to wipe away the blood. One hand reached into the thick heart wall muscle of the heart and took out that life-and-death fragment of the shattered heartworm.

  Even in the midst of a killing spree, Lin Ming, who had long been accustomed to bloody scenes, was still tongue-tied by this scene. This little girl is really ruthless.

  A small golden beetle, bathed in fresh blood, yet not a single drop of blood was stained on it. Nai quickly put it on her arm, while the monkey-faced man was still lying on the ground, convulsing.

  Although there are many fatal spots on the human body, only one can cause instant death. That is the brain tissue at the brow point. If it is destroyed, it will result in instantaneous death. Others, such as destruction of the heart, a person can still live for about 10 seconds.

  Nai took advantage of the ten-second window to remove the Heartworm and implant it in her own body. Once a new host was found, the old one became irrelevant whether they lived or died.

  After doing all that, Nai stood up, her face slightly pale. Lin Ming took out a towel from the Susano-o and handed it over to her.

  "Thank you." Nai said in a low voice, turning her back and gently wiping the blood from her hair and face.

  Lin Ming saw Nai shrinking in the dark corner, but at this moment, she was like a wounded cat licking her own wounds.

  There is probably an unknown story behind this girl.

  Lin Mingdao said: "I remember you saying that you made two poisonous oaths, one was to protect your sister's peaceful life, and the other was to avenge your parents?"

  Nai didn't respond, still wiping away the blood. The originally snow-white towel had become a glaring crimson.

  "Sorry," Lin Ming said.

  "No, thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have escaped this calamity today."

  "I must apologize, this sacred place of the shaman is a forbidden land for your tribe, after all, my means of entering here were not glorious, and I took advantage of you."

  Nai Dao said: "You and I have never met before, you don't have any obligation to help me. As for this Shinto shrine, our clan has already been annihilated, what's the use of just leaving the shrine?"

  Nai sighed as she said this.

  When it comes to the sacred place of witch gods, Lin Ming has always had a question in his heart. He asked: "Does every tribe have a witch god tower?"

  Nai said, "No, it's said that there are 72 witch god towers in the south border, which were left behind by the witch gods before they ascended to the witch god realm. Due to various reasons such as war fires and beast tides causing interrupted inheritance, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., seven of these witch god towers have already lost their traces, and only 65 remain."

  "It was like that......" Lin Ming guessed that this so-called Shengong should be a powerful and capable person, as for the so-called Feisheng, it is very likely that he entered a place like the divine realm. "Can you tell me what the power of Shengong is?"

  Nai said: "The power of the Witch God can help warriors break through their limits and increase their cultivation. Each person can only enter the Witch God Tower once in their lifetime. However, because the power of the Witch God is limited, the lower one's limit, the greater the increase they will receive, while those with higher limits will gain relatively less."

  However, on the other hand, a martial artist with too low a boundary is not easy to pass the test of the witch god, so the best age for entry is sixteen years old. Every witch girl will enter the witch god tower at the age of sixteen and receive the inheritance.

  Nai explained it very clearly, which surprised Lin Ming a little. She seemed to be completely unbothered by the fact that she had entered the Witch God Tower and spoke in such detail.

  After a moment of silence, Lin Ming said: "To be honest, I want to accept the power of the Witch Goddess."

  Nai said: "I know, otherwise you wouldn't have been acting for so long. But you're also afraid that there's some trick inside and I'm intentionally not telling you, letting you trigger certain mechanisms."

  "That's right." Lin Ming said frankly.

  Naila opened her collar, and from around her neck she took off a pendant that fit closely to her body. The material of the pendant was unknown, it looked like metal, but in the dimly lit corridor, it also emitted a soft and warm glow like jade.

  The pattern on the pendant is an eye, exactly the same as the eye pattern on the gate of the Witch God Tower.

  "This is the Witch God's Key, and it's also our tribe's sacred object. With it, you can unlock the Witch God's trial; otherwise, you'll only be able to enter the outer towers of the lower three layers."

  Lin Ming was taken aback, looking at Nai Yi with a hint of surprise. Although the secret room was extremely dim, Nai Yi's eyes seemed like stars in the night sky, radiating pure and bright light. She stretched out her right hand, which still had bloodstains on it, and from her fingertips hung the Witch God Key, emitting a soft, hazy glow.

  At that moment, Lin Ming felt a strange sense of trust rising in his heart. He said: "If you don't tell me about the Witch God Key, I won't know either. What you just said is right, we've never met before and you have no obligation to help me. Moreover, this Witch God Tower is still your clan's forbidden land, why would you want to tell me about the Witch God Key?"

  Nai Dao said: "I want you to help me kill someone!"

  "The enemy who killed your parents?"

  "Yes!" At the mention of her parents' enemy, a thick hatred and killing intent flashed in Nai's eyes, which made Lin Ming tremble slightly.

  "This man is the great general of the Huo Chi tribe, named Chi Gu Da. The Huo Chi tribe destroyed our tribe, my parents were both shamans of the Yi Na Shi tribe's shamanic teachings. After the temple was destroyed, my father was killed by Chi Gu Da, and my mother..." Nai took a deep breath, her dark eyes flashing with intense killing intent, her tender mouth corners twitching slightly.

  Lin Ming had already guessed that it might be something like rape or humiliation, but he was shocked by Nai's next words.

  She gritted her teeth and said in a hateful tone: "After my mother was raped by Abaoji and his subordinates... she ate it."

  "Eat... eaten away?" Lin Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, confirming that he hadn't misheard.

  Nai said: "The Huo Chi tribe is a cannibalistic tribe, this exists in the south of Xinjiang. Some tribes eat people as food, they will eat prisoners of war, especially those who are considered heretics. Our Wu Shen Jiao (Shamanism) and Sa Man Jiao (another form of Shamanism) are sworn enemies, we are viewed by them as heretics."

  "This..." Lin Ming found it hard to accept. He had heard before that when the imperial court was corrupt and tyrannical, people would exchange their children for food. Those were all ancient stories, far away from him, but he never thought he would experience it himself now.

  "My mother's guard later risked his life to collect my mother's remains. When I saw her, her body was already disfigured, her hair had all fallen out from being boiled in hot water, and there were bite marks on her face and body. One leg and one arm were reduced to just the bones."

  Nai said afterwards, she calmed down instead, as if her hatred was all gathered up and deeply buried in her heart.

  Lin Ming's stomach churned at the thought, and just hearing Nai's description made him feel like he couldn't take it anymore. How much more unbearable must it have been for Nai, who had witnessed it with her own eyes - and the person involved was even her mother!

  No wonder Nai is so cold and determined at such a young age.

  He couldn't help but turn around and take a glance at Nansui, who was still in the distance. She probably didn't know about her mother's situation yet, and Na Yi would likely never let her find out either...

  Lin Ming took a deep breath and asked: "What kind of cultivation is the Qi Bone Refining?"

  "Half step to heaven!"

  "Like this..." Lin Ming furrowed his brow, another half-step to the later stages of the Heavenly Fate, although he had just defeated a half-step to the later stages of the Heavenly Fate martial artist, but that was due to various factors being in his favor, and it was only with great difficulty that he managed to succeed. Now that the Thunderclap Evil Fire Bead had been used up, if he were to face another half-step to the later stages of the Heavenly Fate martial artist head-on, he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence.

  Moreover, since he is a general, there are probably many skilled guards around him. It would be even more difficult to kill him in the crowd.
