Chapter 1278: Terrifying and Cruel Punishment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nineteenth Witch’s small shoulders trembled.
With everyone’s reminder, she suddenly remembered the most important mission of this trip.
Before leaving, her master’s exhortation seemed to still ring in his ears. “Nineteenth Witch, it doesn’t matter if the people outside fight for second or third place. Our witch doctor clan will always have to and can only be first!”
At that time, she was still smiling and joking with her master. “Master, of course I’m going for the first place. However, there are always mistakes. If I accidentally step on dog p.o.o.p and don’t get first place…”
Unexpectedly, her master, who had always doted on her, instantly turned cold and stopped talking.
!!
At the side, her Eldest Senior Brother reminded her tactfully, “Little Nineteen, we witch doctors have always been first in history. If we fail in your year… I’m afraid that according to the clan rules, you’ll have to go to the snake cave to be punished…”
The snake cave!
In a particularly dangerous canyon by the sea of the Tang family’s kingdom.
It was dark and damp all year round, and countless species of poisonous snakes lived there: cobras, two-headed snakes, gold-ringed snakes, pythons…
Basically, it was already a miracle if someone could come out alive.
As a girl who loved beauty, even if she came out alive, she would be poisoned by snakes and her face would be ruined. Then, there seemed to be no difference between living and dying…
This punishment could be said to be rather terrifying and cruel.
The Nineteenth Witch finally began to realize the importance of this compet.i.tion. She had a lot on her mind.
Fortunately, the Eldest Senior Brother comforted her in private. “It’s alright. I partic.i.p.ated in this compet.i.tion to protect you. At the critical moment, I’ll help you win first place…”
In fact, Eldest Senior Brother meant what he said.
In the second round of the surgery PK, one team had to be eliminated. The Eldest Senior Brother did not hesitate to choose to be eliminated and let the Nineteenth Witch’s team continue to secure the first place.
If nothing went wrong, Nineteenth Witch would be the overall champion after walking out of the forest maze.
After all, the forest maze was a territory that The Nineteenth Witch was very familiar with. She had been brought there by her senior brothers to train when she was young.
At this moment, under everyone’s reminder, The Nineteenth Witch recalled her master’s request again. Her heart trembled.
Wuwuwu, could she have both the handsome man and first place???
Who said that you had to give up your results just to pursue a handsome man???
Even if she, Witch Nineteen, wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h first place, couldn’t she also s.n.a.t.c.h the heart of a beautiful man??
In case she got into a fight with a beautiful man in the forest maze, she still had a trump card—the honey trap!
What was she worried about now? Seriously.
= = =
As the PK ended, half of the partic.i.p.ating teams were eliminated.
Including those who had been wiped out in the th.o.r.n.y terrain, only a third of the remaining teams entered the Ghost Island.
It was a cruel game.
It had a cruel elimination system.
It was difficult to get a ticket to the legendary Ghost Island, but those who could really enter and walk out alive were probably as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns…
Gu Qiqi suddenly felt a little lucky. Although Feng Yangchu had failed in the compet.i.tion back then, he had returned alive. Meanwhile, his comrade had died on the island…
Night had fallen as the PK match dragged on.
The Great Pharmacist Guild arranged for the contestants to stay in their respective lounges. They gathered for a meal and rested while they waited for the next day to go to the next level.
Gu Qiqi didn’t attend the gathering. She only ate some local fruits and instructed Lisa to study medicine with Uncle Yun before rus.h.i.+ng out.
Before she came, she promised Feng Yangchu to pay respects to his dead senior brother.
Feng Yangchu told her the location of the cemetery. It was in the back mountain outside the resting hall in a bamboo forest.
The night wind was chilly and cold.
Gu Qiqi sped along the path alone…
