Chapter 163: The Quest -3!
Tak!
Tak!
Stepping cautiously into the dimly lit cave, Qin Cheng couldn\'t help but feel a sense of unease.
A strong aura was hitting her skin, which felt like it was tearing apart her skin.
" Be careful... It\'s an Aura of Tier-6 monster and it seems to be in the enraged state, its strength should be equal to the eighth stage of aoul watering realm, " Xin Rui alerted Qin Cheng.
Nodding on acknowledgment, she continued to move.
— ( silence)
Tup!
Tup!
The unwanted silence was broken only by the soft drip of water from somewhere deep within the cavernous space.
Meanwhile, the two new servants named Neus and Neix, followed closely behind her.
As they ventured deeper into the cave,
Qin Cheng noticed strange markings etched onto the walls, they were symbols that seemed to pulse with ancient energy.
She paused for a moment, studying them intently before continuing forward.
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound caught her attention from around a nearby corner.
Without hesitation, she signaled for Neus and Neix to remain silent and motioned towards the noise.
Crouching low to avoid detection, Qin Cheng slowly moved forward.
" Woah! Those are moon grass, Heing sunflower, there is even old ginseng, and what\'s that, a fiery lotus? " Qin Cheng exclaimed as there were multiple treasures here in a small part of the cave.
However, her eyes soon went on a thin tree.
" so that must be Bodhi Tree... There is already a bodhi fruit there, once the moonlight passes through that small hole and hits the bodhi fruit, it will be enlightened, "
However, aside from treasures, she couldn\'t notice the monster that should be guarding it.
...
Gulp!
She swallowed her saliva, while her forehead began to sweat.
" Doing move, if you move you will be dead... That\'s a shadow enchantress, " Xin Rui\'s voice sounded.
Right now, behind Qin Cheng was a mature milf, with long white hair, red eyes and long pointy ears.
Elf!
That\'s right, she was an elf, a milf elf with a busty body of huge boobs, and big hips.
She wasn\'t just an elf rather she was a dark elf who seemed to have the power of shadow.
" It seems she has a rare shadow spirit root that allows her to become a shadow... nevertheless, don\'t act rushed, if she wanted to kill you, she would have killed you, " Xin Rui said.
" hhhhh! Ggggg! " The elf opened her mouth, it seemed she was asking something.
" She is saying, you can take the Enlightened bodhi fruit however, you need help her child, " Xin Rui Translates the words of the elf.
Hearing this, Qin Cheng slowly nodded her head.
" Gggge hehe hisss! Ggge guuu! " The elf began to speak for a long time.
" She said she doesn\'t know anything about this world, she was randomly thrown here by a space rift, her husband is missing and she only has her child... Her child is greatly sick and she needs your help, " - Translator: Xin Rui.
Hearing this, Qin Cheng went in shock, it seemed these creatures had come from another realm.
Baam!
Just then, Neus and Neix attacked the elf from behind with their weapon.
Pfft-
The elf was too slow to dodge both attacks, Neix\'s sword hits her back and caused a long wound while sending her flying to the wall.
Getting the chance, Qin Cheng rushed forward with her palm glowing with ominous dark flame.
" I don\'t want to hurt you... Till the bodhi fruit receives its enlightenment, you will be staying here, " She uttered coldly while her foot pressed the elf\'s head.
She looked the elf up and down, the elf looked like someone with demonic origin.
" Do you know anything about them? " Qin Cheng slightly muttered in her head.
" Yes! They are known as dark elves, if I am not wrong they are magic beings that live in the realm of magic... Like she mentioned, she is here because of a space rift, so, I guess, she isn\'t that aggressive, "
Hearing this, Qin Cheng removed her foot from the elf\'s face.
Seeing this, the elf got up looking all confused and shocked.
However, she soon pointed in a direction signaling Qin Cheng to follow.
" It seems she wants you to follow her, "
" Hmm! " Qin Cheng hummed.
There was a small baby elf girl who was currently unconscious.
Qin Cheng checked the body of the little girl and it seemed she was still alive.
Her heart was beating but she was slowly losing her breath.
"It\'s a holy sacrificial child! " just then, the voice hits Qin Cheng\'s ears.
"Holy sacrificial child? What\'s that? " Qin Cheng was stunned and asked in a small tone.
" Holy sacrificial children are those children who are sacrificed by heaven to boost the power of the chosen ones,
Just like this; the elf you are seeing is a rare species of dark elf called Moon Elf, once she dies, her soul is absorbed by the bodhi tree and the enlightened bodhi fruit will have the blessing of the moon.
This means, that her death is necessary to give the power of the moon to Prince Qin Bai Huan, however, since you are here, you have two choices.
1. Let the child die, let her soul be absorbed by the tree that way you will obtain an enlightened bodhi fruit with the blessing of the moon.
Or,
2. Save the child, which is impossible.
" Impossible? Why impossible? " Qin Cheng wondered.
" Like I said, she is a holy sacrificial child.
Remember, a child born with two different origin that clashes against each other, can\'t live long, the same thing is true with chosen sons.
As such, the heavens create a vessel child whose sole purpose is to help those chosen ones, by their death.
After all, as those chosen ones grow up, they have enough power to balance two different opposing powers within their body.
[ Opposing power such as light & Dark, sun & moon, fire & water ]
The child doesn\'t have a life force, she isn\'t suffering from any disease or anything. Her life is about to end, there is simply nothing we can do unless someone from above helps. "
"Someone from above? " Qin Cheng raised her eyebrow.
" Remember last time I told you about the powerful entities called Mods and Balancer? Above them are constellations that are like the actual gods, who can interfere in anything they like, and they keep watch on everything.
Matter of fact, right now, they are eyeing us, if they want they can help " Xin Rui said.
...
Looking at the child, it reminded her of her childhood, where she was supposed to die, because of poisoning when she was 3 months old.
The world can truly be hell for someone since birth.
" I see, there is no way to help then, " Qin Cheng said while touching the cheeks of the little kid.
" Pitiful soul... I\'ll definitely use your soul for the greater cause, "
----------
1. Let the kid die, and give moon blessing bodhi fruit to Qin Cheng = No Gift
2. help the child + gain the trust of milf ( potential harem member for Mc ) = Gift
