Healing the Flame Witch

Chapter 50 Healing the Flame Witch

High in the sky, Gojo Satoru followed the scent of the group and searched downwards.

What puzzled Wu Tiaowu was that, apart from Mo Fan who was still at Zhuoyuan, everyone else had already left.

After hesitating for a moment, Gojo Satoru spread his wings and flew at high speed toward Mo Fan's location.

Regardless, let's go check on this guy first.

Soaring above the clouds, we passed through a forest full of fiery red trees, and then came a raised rocky land with a gentle slope, like a hillside on flat land. At the very top of the hillside stood a huge tree unlike any other fire cloud tree.

The tree has no leaves, its branches are twisted and winding, and it has many branches. Even without any leaves, it looks graceful and elegant.

Mo Fan's presence was right under the tree.

Upon sensing this news, Gojo Satoru slowly flapped his crimson-gold wings and descended.

Suddenly, a terrifying fireball burst into flames on the top of that giant tree without warning.

Upon seeing this, Gojo Satoru instantly accelerated, shooting out like an arrow and landing directly in front of Mo Fan.

With both hands outstretched, the invisible blades of space easily sliced ​​the fireball to shreds.

He was about to rush forward to deal with the humanoid creature that was casting fireballs, but before he could make a move, Mo Fan behind him shouted anxiously.

"It means no harm, don't attack!"

Upon hearing the sound, Gojo Satoru abruptly stopped in his tracks, then asked with a puzzled look, "Are you out of your mind from the heat? This guy is going to burn you to death, and you still say you mean no harm."

"Ring~~~"

The Flame Witch seemed to understand human language, and her burning eyes were filled with ferocity.

It stared at Mo Fan and the others, its body writhing in raging flames at an extremely fast pace, burning intensely.

whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

"If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the end!" Gojo Satoru was not intimidated by the fire witch at all, and his aura burned like flames.

"Don't attack, she's my savior." Mo Fan rushed to the Flame Witch's side to prevent Gojo Satoru from making the first move, then calmly looked at the Flame Witch and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

The Flame Witch didn't communicate with Mo Fan; she seemed to realize that the people who stole the Flame Fruit weren't from here.

Then it fixed its gaze on the west and slowly flew away in that direction.

"Your injuries are very serious. You'll die if this continues." Gojo Satoru stopped the Flame Witch from flying away, his tone very serious.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Mo Fan's savior, he wouldn't have wanted to meddle in her affairs.

"What have you been through? Why are there magical artifacts piercing your body?" Mo Fan also noticed the long thorns stuck in the Flame Witch's body.

"Ring~~~"

The Flame Witch was sometimes sorrowful and sometimes resolute, her expression filled with a sense of facing death without fear. The flames surrounding her began to rage, and the high temperature caused cracks to appear in the space itself.

"Looks like you're in a hurry." Gojo Satoru was puzzled by its behavior, but he didn't care.

Then, he raised his hand and pulled out the icy thorns that were deeply embedded in the Flame Witch's body.

"Ring~~~"

The Flame Witch screamed in agony, and the flames around her surged even more fiercely, seemingly about to break free of the spatial constraints.

"It's alright, he's trying to help you." Mo Fan knew Gojo Satoru's style very well. If he wanted to kill the Flame Witch, he wouldn't bother with such methods. He was obviously trying to heal her now.

As expected, Gojo Satoru completed seven star charts with a wave of his hand. The star charts then connected to form a pale white constellation, from which white droplets emerged to heal the Flame Witch's injured parts.

Feeling the pain subside, the Flame Witch extinguished her raging flames and looked at Gojo Satoru with gratitude in her eyes.

Two minutes later, the pale white constellation turned into the last wisp of white water and disappeared.

At the same time, the Flame Witch's injuries were completely healed.

"Alright, you can go do your thing now. Mo Fan, tell me what happened." Gojo Satoru released the spatial restraints and turned to look at Mo Fan.

Freed from her restraints, the Flame Witch gave Gojo Satoru one last grateful look before her crimson figure streaked across the sky and sped off in a certain direction.

After seeing that he had completely disappeared.

"What do we do now?" asked the woman in military uniform standing to the side.

"What do you mean, what to do? Go back to where you came from." Mo Fan first said casually to the woman in military uniform with a bitter face, then turned around and explained to Gojo Satoru.

"So it is, so it is, so it is..." Mo Fan gave a general account of what happened after Gojo Satoru left.

"That's a bit lame." Upon hearing that Mo Fan only met the Flame Witch because he was blocked at the door by demons, Gojo Satoru mocked him without any politeness.

"Sigh, I'm a little worried now. It was Zhao Manyan and his gang who stole the Fire Calamity Fruit," Mo Fan said with a sigh.

"Then why did you ask me to save it just now?" Gojo Satoru said irritably.

Isn't this just a way of indirectly increasing the difficulty of the game for Lingling and her group, turning a normal level into a hell level?

"I'm not sure either," Mo Fan said helplessly.

The Swift Star Wolf had been outside for too long, and its mental state had reached its limit, causing it to fall into a deep sleep.

"I'll find out when we get back to Shanghai," Gojou Satoru said clearly.

"Let's go." Mo Fan nodded.

…………

Back in Dunhuang, Gojo Satoru, Mo Fan, and the woman in military uniform boarded a military plane bound for Shanghai to replenish supplies and returned to Shanghai.

On the way back to Dunhuang from Pingdingshan, Wutiao Wu fought with all his might, even beating up the overlord of the Shawang River. If it weren't for its thick skin and difficulty to kill, it would probably have been skinned alive.

After resting for a few hours on the plane, Gojo Satoru, Mo Fan, and the woman in military uniform named Nan Jue arrived at a small town in the southwestern suburbs.

The three of them went up the mountain, but were stopped by the patrolling mages of the town as soon as they reached the entrance.

Gojo Satoru was getting impatient and wanted to just break in and bring Lingling and the others out, but Mo Fan insisted on revealing his identity and going in openly and honestly.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the three were finally allowed to pass, and Gojo Satoru's face was extremely gloomy.

We passed through several checkpoints along the way.

It's clear from the statements of Gojo Satoru and the other two that Zhao Manyan's clansmen stole the Flame of Calamity, and that they even invited many powerful magicians to oversee the operation.

Following a guard, Gojo Satoru and his two companions quickly arrived at the room where Zhao Manyan and the others were.

"There's something else I'm curious about, Chenying, do you know your mother...?"

"I don't know either, my mother gave me the Cold Iron Spikes..."

A familiar voice came from the room.

"Chenying, you've done something foolish," Mo Fan said as he entered the room.

Gojo Satoru and Nanju stood to one side.

"Mo Fan, Gotsu!!"

"When did you arrive?"

Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan rushed over excitedly, hugging and bumping fists.

Mo Fan pushed the two of them aside, rushed to his girlfriend, and picked her up.

Gojo Satoru couldn't stand their mushy behavior, so he simply bound them to their spot.
