Chapter 55: 55, grab my handlebars!

"You...!" Lulu propped herself up with difficulty, taking deep breaths, her face full of rage as she glared at Lin Da.

She resembled a girl with a 40-degree fever, putting up a feeble resistance.

Lin Da didn't pay her any mind and said to Kafni behind him, "Keep watch; don't let the other adventurers come this way. I'm about to start."

"Oh." Kafni glanced at Lin Da with a worried look. "If that beastman girl bites you to death, remember to scream for help in advance."

Having said this, Kafni sat on a small mound to keep guard,

while Lin Da thrust forward abruptly, diving into the cave like a swordfish.

The land of the Barren Plains was dry and blistering hot,

and Lin Da felt as if he were next to a piece of human-shaped charcoal.

The worsening pollution had caused Lulu's body temperature to rise.

At this rate, it was very likely to burn up her blood vessels, and even her Magic Circuit!

The beastman girl didn't know what Lin Da climbing up was intended to do and stabbed her beast claws toward Lin Da's throat in panic.

But at that moment, she was too weak, and Lin Da easily caught one of her hands and pinned it to the ground.

"Don't move; I'm trying to help you!"

Lin Da uttered sternly, his gaze fixed seriously on Lulu as he searched for the entry point for Purification.

Lulu's body, however, trembled with embarrassment and anger. Her struggle was futile, and the pollution within her intensified,

The Fallen Insect in her heart, sensing its host's impending demise, began to throb with excitement, preparing to break free from its shell.

Everything was going terribly wrong!

But, that was also good.

Lulu thought bitterly, let this insidious human intending to defile her be devoured by the Fallen Beast, serving as her funeral accompaniment!

At this moment, Lin Da finally found the most suitable entry point.

He said, "Only by having something on you will you not trust me and sincerely join my team, right?"

What was this guy talking about?

Lulu couldn't understand at all and was confused. Didn't he realize she wasn't an ordinary beastman but a witch beastman with Witch Power, known as 'Catastrophe Girl'?

Sincerely join his team? What a joke!

Lulu only wanted to slit his and Kafni's throats when they weren't paying attention!

"So, I will expose my own vulnerability," Lin Da said calmly.

What on earth was he talking about? Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lulu was even more confused.

She saw Lin Da extend his right hand towards her slowly.

This human's voice was deep and resonant, carrying a strange Magic Power that made her involuntarily think of another person—his gaze was just like the merciless team leader who had used her up and kicked her out of the team with a cold boot.

Before Lulu could ponder any further, a growl came from above her.

"Witch, grab onto my vulnerability!"

"This power will lead you to a bright future!"

Lin Da, without hesitation, pried open Lulu's mouth and stuffed his fingers in!

"Ugh!!!"

Lulu was shocked, furious, and flustered, the intensity of her emotions stronger than the pain brought on by the pollution flare-up!

What was this human doing?

This was his 'vulnerability'?

To grab a bright future by holding his finger in her mouth?

Lulu thought to herself that if she survived today, she would never let this treacherous human go unpunished!

And of course, Lin Da wasn't making an indecorous advance.

Putting his finger in was a well-considered decision.

The degree of Witch Purification equaled trust plus contact.

Lulu's trust in him was negative; the Purification effect was too weak.

So the only option was to increase the contact.

The Fallen Insect was located in the witch's heart.

The closer to the heart, the better the Purification effect.

All things considered, aside from the unusable eleventh finger, Lin Da's approach was the best choice.

"It just looks easily misunderstood, that's all."

The sensation from his fingers was incredibly peculiar.

Lin Da felt as if he had entered a warm, wet and slippery waterpark, where a cute little beast was resisting him.

But with his formidable strength, he easily subdued it.

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck.

Tears of humiliation welled up in Lulu's deep blue eyes as she glared at him with a look that could kill,

her mouth biting down sharply on her own palm.

Her teeth pierced the skin, and blood, rich in color, began to flow, trickling into Lulu's mouth.

Lin Da felt an agonizing pain.

But he couldn't afford to explain himself to Lulu, who probably wouldn't listen to his explanation anyway.

Only personal action could prove that he hadn't meant any disrespect to her.

Lin Da's mind focused on the core of his spirit world.

All seven stars that hung like sentinels in the night sky lit up at once.

Channeling all his magic power into his body.

"Purification, activate!"

Lin Da silently called out.

The magic circuit glowed, and as it operated at full capacity, his entire right arm turned into a lively green color.

It was the purest essence of life, like the rain of spring or the dew of summer.

The moment this light appeared, Lulu, beneath him, twitched, and

a sudden lightness in her body brought an incredulous expression to her face.

Despite being slight, Lulu distinctly felt some of the tainted blood in her body—blackened by Fallen Insect pollution—being purified!

The Fallen Insect in her heart seemed to sense danger, frantically still like an insect facing a bird, cautiously hiding away.

The pain was lessening, and her strength was gradually returning...

What kind of magical power was this?

The damned insects within the witch were familiars of Demon King Satan! To purify Satan's familiars, wasn't that proof that this human's purification power was even greater than the Demon King's?

Lulu looked at Lin Da in shock,

seeing the man drenched in sweat, his entire focus apparently on casting the spell.

The hand pushed inside her mouth was a vibrant green; warmth kept flowing into her body, like a weary traveler sitting in front of a hearth during a great snow, with a cup of piping hot coffee in hand, comfort seeping into the very bones.

Undoubtedly, the improvement in her condition came from his help!

But why did this human have such miraculous power, and why help her?

Not long ago, Lulu had meant to kill him.

Thank you for reading on m v le_mpyr

It was Kafni's presence that made her abandon the thought.

Yet, deep down, she was still planning to seize an opportunity to dispose of the two of them, to avoid future troubles.

Lulu couldn't understand the reason behind his help.

She hesitated for a moment, then released the bite on Lin Da's palm.

The blood from the wound, with a hint of sweetness amidst the metallic taste, fell into her mouth.

As a werewolf, Lulu couldn't help but swallow, consuming the blood that had flowed.

A twinge of guilt flickered within her.

Her teeth were rather sharp, after all.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The emerald glow from the Witch Purification illuminated the cave.

This hastily dug-out cave was both small and crude; two people crammed inside left hardly any room to spare.

Inevitably, they clung together like two damp cloths.

Mostly, it was the uncomfortable heat of sweat.

For Lulu, this adventurer, after fighting Magical Creatures all day, reeked of sweat, an unbearable stench.

With her slight obsession with cleanliness, she could do nothing but endure.

Lulu could almost sense the breathing from above, Lin Da's fingers still in her mouth, her pair of deep blue eyes unsure where to look, simply closed them.
