Chapter 444: Chapter 443: Simmering Soup

Cold winds blew in gusts, and the dark, aged eyes of the witch gave Lin Hao an indescribable feeling—kindness? Evil? No! It was clearly a profound insight into the human heart!

In front of these eyes, Lin Hao felt as if there was nowhere to hide, starkly exposed before the old woman.

"You can rest assured, they will come."

Lin Hao didn’t intend to hide anything, nor did he need to. He would surrender willingly. Speaking about it wouldn’t make others believe him anyway; it might as well be straightforward, especially since, from the looks of it, the old woman intended to throw them alive into the Giant Cauldron.

"Cackle, cackle, interesting, interesting. Truly a natural-born fine specimen. Our master will recover quickly after consuming you," the witch ignored Lin Hao’s words, but appeared even more pleased.

With a gentle tap of the Skull Crutch in her hand, vine-like tubes that sprouted from the Giant Stone banded tighter around Lin Hao.

Mo Changfeng was suspended not far away from Lin Hao, repeatedly trying to break free and resist. But no matter how much strength he applied, he was tightly bound by the tube-like vines.

In the end, Mo Changfeng gave up, letting himself hang while his heart turned to ashes, and said to Lin Hao, "Big brother, it’s all my fault, I dragged you into this. If there is an afterlife, I will surely repay you."

In Mo Changfeng’s eyes, Lin Hao remained motionless as if he had been petrified the moment he stepped here. Now, with no escape and survival possibilities, both could only wait for death.

Thinking back, if it weren’t for the Mo Family’s siblings rushing over, Lin Hao wouldn’t have been caught by the old woman.

However, Lin Hao did not respond, instead, he closed his eyes.

"Cackle."

The witch turned her head and seeing this scene, she assumed Lin Hao was resigning to his fate, despairing. She chuckled lowly and then stretched her hand towards the Giant Cauldron.

"Boom!"

Samadhi True Fire blazed once more beneath the Giant Cauldron, quickly heating it to a near red-hot state.

"Redoing the medicine brew, this time, we must use the best of everything," said the witch, unable to resist glancing back at Lin Hao, then with a snap of her fingers.

"Clack!"

Instantly, Ghost Energy surged skyward within the Giant Stone Formation, the entire array began to rotate. Each massive stone emitted dark ghostly energies, and it seemed as though wailing spirits filled the void.

The fire burned, and the ghosts wailed.

Holding the Skull Crutch, the witch mumbled in front of the Giant Cauldron, dancing and hopping around like the shamans in ancient sacrificial rites, and after a while, she continued pointing and gesturing at the Giant Cauldron.

"This old witch is playing god," Mo Changfeng concluded he was certainly doomed. After promising Lin Hao that he’d repay him in the next life, Mo Changfeng calmed down and, hanging mid-air like a swing, leisurely watched the witch’s eccentric dance, occasionally commenting.

"Meat!"

All of a sudden, the witch shouted towards the sky, with a stream of Ghost Energy shooting up the sky.

Meat? Meat would fall from the sky? With a resigned attitude towards life and death, Mo Changfeng decided to also see how he would die. Hearing the witch’s shout, he too looked up at the sky.

Looking up from the center of the Giant Stone Formation felt like gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well. With the dim sky, it was hard to see any scenery. Black ghost energy condensed at the top of the formation, appearing as if the sky itself was collapsing.

"Meat from the sky? Old hag, have you gone senile? There’s nothing up there in the sky, even if knives were to fall, meat wouldn’t."

Mo Changfeng was gradually resigning himself to his fate. Since death was inevitable, he might as well anger this old witch and let her kill him. Even if that didn’t work, it might at least throw a wrench into her ritual. Who knows, maybe he could mess up her broth?

But then, was the Witch Ghost Mother’s mind really that easily influenced? Even if it were a thousand Mo Changfengs creating havoc around her, it wouldn’t distract the Witch Ghost Mother.

Unless she distracted herself.

"Hehehe, no hurry, no hurry, it’ll be your turn soon." Witch Ghost Mother turned around, her cold smile flashing at Mo Changfeng before she turned to look at the Life Gate.

A robust goat was walking in from the Life Gate, clearly puzzled by what was happening around it, scanning the surroundings with its head.

However, it only glanced around briefly before it noticed the Giant Cauldron heated by Samadhi True Fire at the center of the formation. Surprisingly, the goat didn’t hesitate and leaped straight towards it.

"Baa! Baa! Baa!!"

The goat, flying more than a person’s height, jumped directly into the Giant Cauldron heated by Samadhi True Fire. As it fell, the goat seemed to regret its decision and immediately struggled in agony within the cauldron, letting out piercing screams.

However, once it jumped into the Giant Cauldron, how could it get out?

The goat had been leaping in the cauldron for less than thirty seconds before it collapsed at the bottom, breathless.

A strange aura drifted through the Giant Stone Formation, sending shivers down Mo Changfeng’s spine, his body drenched in sweat without him realizing it.

Yet, it wasn’t over. Next, a tiger slowly walked into the formation from outside.

"This is premium minced meat, raised for a month, its essence fully integrated. Only such minced meat can serve as a proper base to match such fine ingredients as the two of you," spoke the Witch Ghost Mother, standing beside the Giant Cauldron with a sinister chill in her voice.

As her words fell, the tiger suddenly roared and pounced fiercely towards the Giant Cauldron!

Just like the robust goat earlier, the tiger jumped directly into the cauldron. One moment it seemed headed for a blissful delight, the next, it was like plunging into Hell.

"Roar! Roar!!"

The tiger howled heart-wrenchingly inside the cauldron, clawing wildly, trying to escape. But, although the cauldron wasn’t very large, the tiger couldn’t escape.

In less than a minute, the tiger, too, fell in the cauldron, lifeless.

"Hehehe, excellent, excellent. One hundred medicinal ingredients for the base, come!"

Witch Ghost Mother stood by the cauldron, smiling benevolently, murmuring incantations.

Following that, animals ranging from lions to rabbits, creatures of the sky, and even crocodiles, as well as many non-Earth species, lined up one by one. They entered from outside the Giant Stone Formation, each one seemingly ecstatic, rushing to reincarnate by leaping into the Giant Cauldron, only to let out agonizing screams of pain before dying.

One hundred!

Such a Giant Cauldron couldn’t possibly hold a hundred animals, yet from the first goat that jumped in, exactly one hundred animals died within it.

A rich aroma wafted from the cauldron, yet it seemed eerily empty, as if nothing was there!

"Very good, very good, the medicine is in the cauldron, a successful start. Next, the brewing begins. Master, please wait a moment, soon you will taste the delicious nourishing medicinal meal."

Witch Ghost Mother chuckled heinously, her eyes shifting towards Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng, suspended in mid-air, while from within the Giant Stone Formation, a rush of impatient breathing could be heard.
