Chapter 44: A Special Gift...

Before Situ Mu and Daisy could reach the central part of the Golden Leaf Forest, Liu Yi suddenly informed everyone that Danny's location was starting to move.

They had to stop midway, and Liu Yi descended from the fighter jet, handing the phone to Situ Mu. They needed him to adjust their route based on Danny's changing location.

Situ Mu walked towards her and took the phone.

And at that moment, an unexpected incident occurred.

Situ Mu noticed a sudden change in magical energy around them. He rushed towards Daisy, trying to grab her hand, but he was one step too late...

Just one step, and he could have caught her...

However, in that one step, the surrounding space suddenly distorted on a large scale. Daisy, two individuals, four people along with the fighter jets were all scattered to different locations.

Staring at his empty hands, Situ Mu's gaze momentarily froze. Then, he smashed a fist into a nearby yellow maple tree.

The Golden Leaf Forest was a treacherous place, but he believed nothing would happen. He would search every corner of the forest and surely find her.

"My old friend."

A sharp voice sounded behind him, and it was Timothy speaking.

Situ Mu turned around, looking at the short old man. At a glance, he recognized that this was Timothy's long-range illusion magic, not his actual presence.

But Timothy's illusion was a projection of his true self. It could be seen that at this moment, he smiled sinisterly, full of ill intentions and hidden resentment.

"I've been searching for over a hundred years, and I couldn't find a way to crush you because the old you had no weaknesses... But now, I've discovered you have a weakness."

"The revenge for your child's death, how do you think I should repay it?" he grinned, his laughter piercing and earsplitting.

Situ Mu suddenly had a very bad premonition, feeling that Timothy was going to target Daisy.

Because Daisy... had become his weakness?

Yes.

At this moment, he finally realized, soberly, that Daisy had indeed become his only weakness.

Timothy waved his golden magic wand, and an image appeared before Situ Mu. It was Daisy's current situation.

Within a magical circle, she was slowly approaching a werewolf cloaked in black. Magical energy factors surged intensely around them, indicating the optimal condition for the magic circle.

Judging by the werewolf's figure, it was a male.

And at this moment, he was tearing at his own clothes, seemingly very hot and uncomfortable.

The image could only show Daisy's graceful back, getting closer and closer to him until her hand reached out towards the cloak...

It was a... chaotic love magic circle.

The image stopped abruptly, and Timothy's illusion gradually disappeared. His creepy voice echoed, leaving behind a lingering tone.

"The next events, you can imagine yourself. This is my special gift to you before Daisy dies, hahaha..."

An unprecedented rage erupted in Situ Mu's eyes, an unstoppable fury.

He knew that Daisy's image was also created through illusion magic.

Timothy and that werewolf, both deserved to die...

At a speed unimaginable to Timothy, Situ Mu found a breach in the surrounding imprisonment array. Even though it would take at least three hours for the array here to open, it didn't mean he couldn't force his way through.

He took an incredibly mysterious route, turning left and right, jumping at times, and eventually found an invisible barrier in the air.

Without hesitation, he threw a punch with bone-shattering force. However, the barrier only produced a crisp "clang" sound, showing no signs of breaking.

He continued to strike harder, his hand's back covered in broken flesh, blood leaving red marks on the invisible barrier.

He relentlessly pounded, blood and shredded flesh splattering on the unseen barrier. His entire arm trembled, but he never stopped for half an hour.

In this nearly manic pounding, his eyes turned bloodshot, his face frighteningly cold. Finally, he heard the sound of the barrier cracking.

He continued to smash for about a quarter of an hour. At one point, the barrier made a sound similar to the shattering of glass, and with another punch, it missed.

The imprisonment array finally revealed a brief crack. He quickly passed through it, and the bloodied hands rapidly regenerated new flesh, returning to their original state. Only some bloodstains remained on the skin's surface and cuffs.

On the other side of the imprisonment array was a Seven-Star Fire Array.

Magic flames had seven levels, and the Seven-Star Fire was the highest level of fire. It wasn't the kind that instantly vaporized, making it painless. Instead, it caused excruciating pain, gradually liquefying bones and flesh, ultimately turning them into a pool of blood.

The array had been triggered, and the ground was burning with purple flames. The roots of yellow maple trees gradually liquefied, and the giant trees began to fall one by one.

Situ Mu seemed completely unaffected by the intensely burning flames around his feet, and his expression remained as dark as before, devoid of any other emotions.

However, deep down, he couldn't help but worry. Timothy said he would let Daisy die, so what would his beloved face? Would it be more agonizing than what he was enduring?

Yet, he couldn't bear to let her suffer; how could Timothy?

He would make him regret it, make him wish for death.

Situ Mu moved slowly within the Seven-Star Fire Array because his bones and the flesh on his feet were liquefying, making it difficult for him to walk fast. However, his body had reached its limit.

The breakthrough point of the Seven-Star Fire Array was blocked by a fallen yellow maple tree. He approached it slowly, then bent down, embracing the sturdy trunk, moving it aside.

At the spot where his feet stopped, the Seven-Star Fire began burning fiercely. The flames almost reached half of his height, and his entire body's flesh and bones were liquefying. Moving the yellow maple tree was extremely challenging, but he remained unchanged, showing no sign of discomfort.

Finally, he moved it aside.

His liquefied legs made it impossible for him to stand. He crawled slowly towards the breakthrough point of the Seven-Star Fire Array. The space suddenly shifted, and his entire body sank into a swamp.

He knew how to rescue himself in a swamp, but this wasn't a swamp; it was an array.

As far as his eyes could see, he couldn't find the breakthrough point.

So, he suspected that the gap in this array might be somewhere beneath the swamp, but it was only a possibility.

If he sank into the swamp but couldn't find the breakthrough point, then he would truly be trapped.

Thinking of Daisy, he didn't hesitate and began to struggle fiercely. Successfully sinking deeper into the swamp, he was eventually engulfed by mud and consumed by darkness.

All around him was nauseating and sticky mud, completely cutting off the air, with hope and despair hanging by a thread.

This environment was incredibly suffocating, and he couldn't bear it. The only thing filling his mind, supporting him to persevere, was Daisy.

Her every smile, whether joyful, coquettish, cold, or charming.

Sweetheart...

He would find the breakthrough point, find her.

Thinking of her reignited his determination. With all his strength, he sensed the subtle changes in the flow of mud and felt the distribution of magical energy factors. After an unknown amount of time in this suffocating environment, he finally groped his way to the gap at the bottom of the swamp and entered the next array.

This array...

The arrangement of magical energy factors formed the shape of the chaotic love magic circle.

Extremely seductive moans of women and deep, sexy panting of men transmitted clearly to Situ Mu's ears from behind a giant yellow maple tree.

The air was filled with a lascivious atmosphere. Situ Mu turned stiffly, looking towards the direction. Next to the yellow maple tree, clothes were scattered on the ground—there was a black cloak and a snowy white Western court dress...
