Wasn’t that a little exaggerated?
However… He now had a ton of Witch Ore!
Alex immediately pulled out the Witch Ore, which had refined a planet back then. When the dark demonic lotus saw so much Witch Ore, she immediately laughed. “This is great!”
Just as Alex was preparing to work inside the pit, Madame Rouge’s men returned. They shone a light into the bottom of the pit, but they couldn’t find a hint of Alex’s body no matter how hard they tried.
“Those worms must have devoured him completely!”
“It was the same when the curse first activated. Not even bones were left of them!”
“What should we do?”
Madame Rouge said, “We have to figure out what’s happening here and send one person… No, send two people forward. Get a Memory Crystal and record what happens!”
Unfortunately, Empress Ghast and Bea were the two sacrifices sent forward. Bea was so frightened she was shaking all over and looked a second away from crying.
Madame Rouge instructed her to be the decoy and to walk in front while Empress Ghast recorded what happened to the Memory Crystal from behind.
Bea closed her eyes tightly as she stepped into the pit, waiting for her inevitable death. However, nothing happened. Everything remained calm, and the swarm of bugs from before didn’t appear.
“Is it safe?”
“T-the curse… It didn’t come for her?!”
“That’s strange…”
Madame Rogue felt like the two women had gone in of their own will, but she hesitated after hearing what the diggers said. Because what happened previously was far too bizarre, she was more cautious now.
“Run!” someone screamed, and the group ran.
Alex and the two women reunited. Empress Ghast couldn’t contain her burst of emotions and reached out to hug him. “I thought you were dead!”
Alex patted her firm butt and said, ”Hey, I’m very tough! Come on, let’s go. Those people don‘t dare to rush in here now, so we should set up some defensive force fields and dig up the Witch Essence. We won’t let them have even a single one!”
“How are we going to dig them up? There’s only three of us!” Bea said. “I don’t know how to dig either. Besides, I’m a princess. I won’t dirty my hands.”
“I was prepared for this! Come, follow me!”
