With the help of the Night Elves who were tree-climbing experts, it didn’t take long for them to arrive in front of the small wooden cabin.

Outside the cabin was a low-lying pond with some lotus leaves and croaking frogs.

The small cabin was located in the middle of the pond. Through the open window, they could see the dim candle flame inside, and the chimney had wisps of smoke.

If it were outside, it would have been a proper country house, but unfortunately, it was in the spooky Dark Magic Swamp.

A strange smell lingered at the tips of their noses, and as soon as they smelled it, the elves’ faces immediately showed panicked expressions.

The smell was really bad; it smelled like burning rubber.

There was a small path leading to the wooden cabin, and the group first looked at each other. Although there was a lot of reluctance, they still approached the cabin.

Bai Lixin knocked on the door, and it was opened not long after. An old woman who definitely fits the image of a witch in a fairy tale appeared before them.

She had a short body and a hunched back, and although the indigo cloak covered her head, they could still see the huge hawkish nose and wrinkled face.

Fictional characters could also appear in the real world?

This one before them fits the witch’s setting just by her attire.

Bai Lixin was stunned because the fairy tale world was written into reality, while the four elves behind him were stunned because they were frightened by the other party’s horrible face.

The witch surveyed the uninvited five guests. Her eyes were protruding like those of a goldfish, the whites of which occupied almost the entire eye. Only a small black point could be seen in the middle.

She looked around slowly. Her protruding eyes were sharp, as if they could directly penetrate their bodies.

The four elves behind Bai Lixin trembled.

The old witch swept her gaze over Bai Lixin and the wolf cub in his arms. Then she looked at the elves behind her, and on seeing their appearance, the old witch let out a burst of hoarse laughter. Her aged voice was like plastic bags rubbing on gravel, and it could make one’s heart shudder.

“Come on in.”

The old witch opened the door and turned around to return to the cabin.

The cabin did not look big from the outside, and only after entering it did they realize that it was special.

From the outside, it looked like a one-story cabin, but Bai Lixin could see a corner with a staircase.

There was a black round iron pot in the fireplace, and from Bai Lixin’s position, he could see the blue liquid inside. Thick steam rose from the soup surface, and small bubbles popped up from time to time and exploded.

Not only would the taste be horrible, but even the color of the soup looked horrible.

The last elf had just walked into the room when there was a muffled bang. The door behind him had closed automatically.

The old witch walked over and stirred the soup, lifting the hood to reveal the head that had been hidden inside.

The Night elves gasped when they saw the old witch’s full features.

The witch’s gray hair was full, and the Night Elves’ characteristic pointed ears peeked out from under the white hair.

The elf leader couldn’t help but ask, “Are you also a Night elf?”

The witch looked at him and suddenly rolled her eyes. Her pointed chin hooked up and she looked very happy. “Hehehe, little guy, that’s what you asked me back then, and now you’re asking the exact same question.”

The group looked at each other, and the elf leader asked again, “I was here back then?”

The old witch’s back was hunched, but her feet were still nimble. She jumped onto the high stool next to the iron pot and pointed to a wooden table filled with bottles and jars, “Young man, help me bring the lizard’s tail over.”

The elf leader was just about to move forward when he was interrupted by the witch, her twig-like finger pointing in the air, “Not you, you.”

The finger was pointed in Bai Lixin’s direction.

Bai Lixin walked over to the table and quickly swept his gaze over it.

On it was many materials used in magic books to make potions, such as cat eyes, bat wings, dragon scales, tiger teeth, and so on.

The materials were haphazardly stacked on the table, making the table look like a garbage pile.

Bai Lixin searched for a while and soon found the lizard tail half-wrapped in a white paper.

The witch took the lizard tail, stirred the blue soup a few times, and directly threw it in.

As the lizard tail fell in, a small mushroom cloud exploded on the surface of the soup, and the color of the thick soup turned into a brilliant golden color.

The witch then said, “Things that have been touched by the gods are really excellent.”

At the witch’s words, Bai Lixin, who had been standing next to her, suddenly became solemn.

The witch pointed to a side cabinet, “There are a few small glass bottles and jars inside; bring them to me.”

This time, Bai Lixin knew that the other party was referring to him without her even saying it.

He put the low-spirited Dijia into the elf leader’s arms and went to where the witch pointed. Soon, he found a pile of empty bottles and jars.

Not knowing which one the witch was referring to exactly, he simply carried all the empty bottles over.

The witch was still stirring the golden soup, and with the change in the color of the soup, its fragrance also turned into a rich and clear aroma, much like that of fruits after they ripen.

The witch glanced at the bottles and jars that Bai Lixin had carried over and then laughed out loud.

“God’s will, it’s all God’s will.”

She used an iron spoon to scoop a little of the golden soup and brought it to Bai Lixin, who was closest to her, saying, “Give that wolf cub a sip.”

Bai Lixin hesitated for a moment, the pearl around his neck flickered for a moment, and then a system prompt rang out in his mind.

[Ding! No toxin detected, please feel free to take it.]

Bai Lixin: [Analyze what kind of magic potion this is.]

He was bold, but he was not rash. He wouldn’t eat unknown items indiscriminately.

S419M’s voice soon came: [It’s not a bad potion, but I can’t detect its specific effects].

He wouldn’t mind if the other party asked him to drink it himself, but the witch was asking him to give it to Dijia.

Dijia’s situation had not been quite right since he entered the dark magic swamp, and he could not joke with Dijia’s life.

Just as Bai Lixin was hesitating, a shadow suddenly jumped onto his arm. Bai Lixin subconsciously reached out and caught the soft wolf cub in his arms.

Dijia lay in Bai Lixin’s hand and stuck out his tongue to lick the golden soup.

Dijia’s body was immediately wrapped in a golden light, and before Bai Lixin could react, he felt the weight of his hand increasing rapidly.

He almost stumbled, but a cold and steady arm reached over and directly held him steady, and his body was instantly shrouded in a black shadow.

Bai Lixin looked up in surprise and saw a pair of eyes made of flames.

Dijia had recovered.

Then came the sudden screams of four elves from the distance. Bai Lixin looked over and saw that the four elves had gathered and shrunk at the door. They had taken out the swords at their waists and pointed them at Dijia.

“Undead!”

“He…he…he’s an undead, and I just held him. Bah, what bad luck!”

“Ba…Bai Lixin, who the hell are you people? What exactly is the purpose of sneaking into our territory!”

“The evil Undead even disguised as a cute beast race to deceive us. It’s too much.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

“Hehehe,” the witch laughed, “Great, I finally made the magic potion that can solve all the negative bonuses. Just one sip and all the negative magic is removed. Excellent, excellent!”

Bai Lixin’s heart moved at these words, and he turned his head to look at the witch, “Old granny, can it undo the effects caused by disease?”
