Chapter 703 The Mysterious Woman in Red!

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

The God-Slaying Stone struggled in the witch's hand, only to find itself completely immobilized, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

The witch gently stroked the rough surface of the God-Slaying Stone and said with a smile, "The God-Slaying Stone is a rare spiritual stone in the world. It can not only be used to smash people, but it is also proficient in breaking formations. However, to control its power, you need a unique incantation. Without that incantation, it is just an ordinary stone, at most a little harder."

She looked at Shi Hao and asked, "You guys don't seem to have forgotten the incantation to control the God-Slaying Stone, do you?"

"There really isn't..."

Shi Hao shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

When Zhu Chen gave him the divine stone, he didn't mention any incantation.

How could he know that controlling this God-Slaying Stone required a unique incantation?

Hehe~

The witch covered her mouth and chuckled: "That explains it. Without the incantation, of course this stone won't obey. You think it's afraid of you just because you hit it? It's just putting on an act; it's not afraid at all."

The God-Slaying Stone trembled in the witch's hand, her voice changing: "You...who are you? How do you know about the incantation?"

The witch still ignored the God-Slaying Stone.

She took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Shi Hao without hesitation: "This contains the incantation to control the God-Slaying Stone. Take it as my way of repaying your favor. The ability to shrink the earth to an inch is a hundred times more valuable than this incantation. However, I will repay another favor to you. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

Shi Hao took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

Sure enough, it contained an ancient formula.

Each word in this incantation contains a strange rhythm, as if it has some natural connection with the God-Slaying Stone.

Thank you.

Withdrawing his divine sense, Shi Hao immediately thanked the witch.

"It's nothing, here's the stone back..."

The witch smiled and tossed the God-Slaying Stone back to Shi Hao.

"Run!"

However, as soon as the God-Slaying Stone left his hand, it flew outwards at an extremely fast speed.

Shi Hao reacted quickly, grabbing it in one swift motion: "Why are you running?"

The God-Slaying Stone, with a mournful face, said, "You...you're not really going to recite that incantation, are you? I don't want to be treated like a slave!"

Looking at the cowardly appearance of the God-Slaying Stone, the witch couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, the incantation is only for communication, not for enslavement. As long as you cooperate, no one will make things difficult for you."

The God-Slaying Stone was skeptical, but it still cowered in Shi Hao's hand and dared not pretend to be dead anymore.

The witch turned around and walked into the depths of the ruins. After a few steps, she stopped and turned back, saying, "By the way, although the ancient magic array in this courtyard is powerful, it is not invincible. The array's core is under the stone platform in that hall. You can use the God-Slaying Stone to find the core and shut down the array. The precious medicine inside is a good thing, so don't waste it."

After saying that, she flashed and disappeared into the shadows of the ruins.

Lin Dong stared in the direction the witch had disappeared, muttering, "That woman was so mysterious, just who is she?"

Qian Renxue said, "Last time, my elder brother said he knew this woman; she must be a friend of his..."

Han Li said in a low voice, "No matter who she is, at least she didn't harm us. Moreover, she returned our supernatural powers and gave us the incantation to control the God-Slaying Stone. That's more than enough."

Luo Feng nodded and said, "I think she's right. Our top priority right now is to break the formation and get the precious medicine. We can put everything else aside for now..."

"Let me try out how to use this mnemonic first..."

Shi Hao held the God-Slaying Stone, closed his eyes, and then recited a string of obscure syllables according to the incantation in the jade slip.

The syllables emanated from his mouth and landed on the God-Slaying Stone, causing its surface to instantly light up with a dazzling brilliance, several times brighter than before.

"Stop...stop reading!"

The God-Slaying Stone cried out in panic, "I'll obey, I'll obey, okay?!"

Shi Hao opened his eyes, looked at the God-Slaying Stone, and said calmly, "Alright, tell me, how do we break this formation?"

"I'll try again..."

The God-Slaying Stone sighed and began to seriously try to break the formation.

This time, the runes did not retaliate; instead, as if responding to the call of the God-Slaying Stone, they all lit up with a soft light.

"The key to the formation is inside the hall, beneath the stone platform."

Before long, the voice of the God-Slaying Stone came from ahead: "I can lead you in, but the restrictions inside are far more dangerous than outside. You must stay close to me; one wrong step and even a god can't save you..."

Shi Hao nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "Did everyone hear that? Let's follow them and see..."

After saying that, he walked forward.

Seeing this, Lin Dong and the others quickly followed.

Guided by the God-Slaying Stone, Shi Hao and his group cautiously stepped into the area of ​​the hall.

However, upon entering the hall, Shi Hao and the others discovered that there were signs that someone had been there before.

Moreover, judging from these traces, it was only recently.

Shi Hao frowned, muttering with some worry, "Could it be that the people from the Demon Dragon Sect have already picked all the precious herbs here?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be possible... If they had taken all the precious herbs here, how could the Lunar Jade Rabbit possibly smell the herbs left?"

The Moon Jade Rabbit chimed in from the side, "That's right... My nose is very sensitive. That precious medicine is definitely still inside; no one has touched it."

Shi Hao stared at the marks under his feet, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "But the problem is, if it wasn't the people from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect who took the precious herbs here, then who left these marks?"

Han Li speculated, "Could it be that someone beat us to it and got here faster than us? And is they picking herbs inside now?"

Qian Renxue chimed in, "If someone really gets there faster than us, then we'll just snatch it from them..."

Upon hearing that a fight was imminent, Lin Dong immediately became excited: "Seventh Sister's suggestion is great! If anyone is picking precious herbs up ahead, we'll just grab them. Anyway, all the treasures here are unclaimed, so whoever gets them first gets them..."

As they spoke, the group followed the God-Slaying Stone through the forbidden killing array and arrived at a lush, green peach orchard.

This place must have been a medicinal herb garden before, with a rich aroma of herbs permeating the air. Just one whiff of it would instantly invigorate you.

"Look, there are people over there..."

At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly pointed to a small hill in the distance.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a tight red dress gathering medicinal herbs on the small hill.
