Holding Daji in his arms and just about to rush her back, Ethan's peripheral vision happened to sweep past the witch's pinky ring, which was still glowing faintly.
'Maybe, inside the wilderness witch's ring, there might be healing medicine.'
Ethan hurriedly carried Daji over to the witch's pinky ring.
At this moment, how could he still care about any witch's curse? All he wanted was to save Daji as fast as possible.
Just as Ethan reached out to pick up the pinky ring, Daji seemed to sense something and, a split second before him, slapped the ring with her little paw.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
In an instant, the witch's pinky ring suddenly emitted a wisp of black smoke, which wrapped around Daji's fluffy little paw, circled it once, and then completely dispersed, vanishing without a trace.
[Witch's Curse: Once any other witch comes within a five-hundred-meter radius of you, they will immediately discover your whereabouts as a murderer.]
"So this is… the witch's curse?"
"Meow~"
Daji let out a weak meow, then closed her eyes again.
Seeing that Daji had fallen unconscious once more, Ethan hurriedly picked up the pinky ring, and then he saw the prompt on it.
[Witch's Pinky Ring: Wear it on the pinky finger to open the ring's storage space.]
The prompt no longer mentioned anything about the curse.
It seemed the curse had already disappeared, so Ethan finally dared to boldly put it on his pinky finger.
The ring was pure gold in color. It was really just a simple band, with an extremely plain design and no special features at all.
Before putting it on, Ethan thought the ring looked quite large.
But the instant it slid onto his finger, it unexpectedly fit perfectly.
Immediately after, Ethan's consciousness directly entered the pinky ring, just like how he could "see" the items inside his intermediate backpack. He could see everything stored inside the ring.
Aside from the scrolls and blueprints the witch had previously displayed at her stall, Ethan also saw that the witch had collected all kinds of random things. A huge egg, some severed limbs of strange creatures, and various messy herbs.
There was even a jar filled with eyeballs from some unknown creature.
And, the strangest part was, the moment Ethan looked at those eyeballs, every single one of them rotated their pupils and stared straight back at him.
Being watched by countless eyeballs made his scalp crawl all over.
Ethan hurriedly shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at that jar of eyeballs, and continued searching for anything medical.
[Flower of Misfortune: As long as this flower is planted in someone else's garden, that person will become entangled with bad luck. However, finding the Flower of Misfortune is not easy, because it disguises itself as other flowers, making it hard to distinguish.]
[PS: Even if you uproot all the flowers in the entire garden, as long as a tiny bit of the Flower of Misfortune's root remains, it will still grow back again.]
"Ew~"
Ethan grimaced in disgust and hurriedly tossed away the peach-colored five-petaled flower in his hand.
It looked pretty nice, and he had thought it was some kind of medicinal herb. Who knew that once he checked, it turned out to be nothing but a tool for screwing people over.
It was basically a whoever-you-plant-it-for-gets-unlucky kind of thing.
But, Ethan glanced at the flower lying on the ground and still silently picked it back up, placing it into the pinky ring.
'Using this thing to screw over enemies will actually be pretty useful.'
'No need to waste it.'
After that, Ethan continued rummaging through the ring.
He found a white leaf. Pure white in color, 'It should be for healing, right?'
[Omen Petal: White symbolizes death, the white rose used as an offering to the dead. Once this leaf is pinned onto someone's clothing, news of death will soon come from that person's household.]
[PS: Please use with caution, as the misfortune may very likely implicate the caster as well.]
"Holy crap!"
"Is this witch some kind of necromancer?"
"Why is everything inside the ring just stuff for harming people?"
Whoosh!
And right at this moment, Ethan suddenly noticed that an ancient oil lamp inside the ring lit up.
[Corpse Oil Life-Sustaining Lamp: Once it detects someone nearby who is critically injured and on the brink of death, the lamp will automatically ignite. Before the lamp oil is exhausted, it can hold onto the injured party's last breath, keeping them in a near-death state. Remaining burn time: 04:59]
[PS: Can add corpse oil to extend life indefinitely. Once the corpse oil is fully burned up, the injured party will immediately die.]
'What?'
When Ethan saw the prompt for the Corpse Oil Life-Sustaining Lamp, his whole body froze.
Daji had already entered a near-death state, and this lamp could only preserve her for less than five minutes.
If within these five minutes, Ethan still couldn't find a way to treat Daji, then Daji would probably die on the spot.
