The scarecrow just stood there, not moving at all, its eyeballs staring straight at the witch's pinky ring in Ethan's hand.
"You need this in order to help me find it?"
Ethan quickly understood what the scarecrow meant.
Blink!
Seeing this, Ethan hurriedly brought the witch's pinky ring over to the scarecrow and tried to put it on the scarecrow's hand.
Though maybe it could not really be called a hand.
After all, the scarecrow had no hands. What it called arms were just the two ends of bamboo poles.
And at the top of the bamboo pole, there was an empty white glove put on to pretend it was the scarecrow's hand.
The scarecrow had no fingers to wear the pinky ring.
Ethan could only casually slip the pinky ring onto the scarecrow's bamboo pole.
The originally small pinky ring was actually able to fit onto a bamboo pole as thick as a ping-pong ball in diameter, and it fit just right. It looked just like the scarecrow was wearing a golden bracelet.
Pretty magical, honestly.
Clack!
Right after Ethan put the witch's pinky ring onto the scarecrow's hand, a small porcelain bottle was quickly thrown onto the ground.
Looks like, the scarecrow had no hands, so it could only throw things out.
Ethan hurriedly picked it up.
[Petrification Potion: A magical potion that can petrify beastmen, used to enhance their defensive effect after transformation. At the highest level, it can petrify wherever you want.]
[PS: There is a certain failure rate. Those who fail will completely turn into stone and will never be able to return to a flesh-and-blood body.]
"..."
After reading the potion's description, Ethan immediately looked at the scarecrow brother with a speechless expression and said, "Did you grab the wrong thing? This is a petrification potion, not a healing potion."
Blink!
The scarecrow blinked once, indicating it had not taken the wrong thing.
But Ethan became even more confused and asked again, "Isn't there any other healing-type potion?"
Blink!
The scarecrow blinked again, indicating yes.
Then, very quickly, another yellow star was thrown out.
"And this is?"
Ethan hurriedly picked up the star on the ground and immediately saw the prompt.
[Plague Star: If this star is eaten by a human or beast, it can turn a beastman into a walking corpse that spreads plague. Unless burned to ashes, it will become an immortal, undying existence forever.]
[PS: Do not attempt lightly, as it has the ability to spread plague, and you are unable to control it. (In ancient times, there was once a great wizard who could not face the death of his beloved son. He personally created the Plague Star, allowing his son to rise from the dead However, the resurrection of his son also caused a massive disaster. Citizens of countless city-states were successively infected with the plague, ultimately leading to entire regions being nearly wiped out. After witnessing the deaths of countless people, the great wizard finally understood that his son would never come back. In the end, he could only use the City-Burning Inferno, destroying all the plague-infected city-states, including his own son. This finally stopped the spread of the plague. And this Plague Star became an absolutely forbidden black witchcraft.]
"..."
Ethan silently handed the Plague Star back to the scarecrow, letting it put it back into the pinky ring.
Ethan returning this was not to avoid using it on people, but to keep it properly stored.
After all, this was a true Pandora's box. Once opened, the dead would not be just one or two, but entire groups. He did not want to face such a horrifying situation.
"Is there really no proper healing medicine or something that can be used to treat Daji?"
Ethan still asked unwillingly.
The scarecrow blinked again.
This time, twice.
No?
But right after the scarecrow finished blinking, it threw out something else.
A thumb-sized crystal vial containing something inside. The transparent crystal bottle shimmered with a luxurious glow under the light.
It looked expensive at a glance.
[Holy Water: Can purify all things, remove filth from wounds, and help damaged flesh heal.]
[PS: Only effective on believers.]
"This…", Ethan was originally overjoyed when he saw that it could purify wounds, but the line below instantly froze his expression, "But neither Daji nor I are believers. Will this thing even work?"
Blink! Blink!
Blinking twice meant no.
"If it won't work, then why give it to me?"
Ethan felt a bit powerless. Did he really have no choice but to use the petrification potion?
But Daji was already injured like this, even reverting to cat form. Could a petrification potion really save her?
And this petrification potion even had a chance to fail. If it did not work, Daji would be done for.
Thud!
The scarecrow threw out a dirty roll of bandages.
It was unclear what these bandages had been used to wrap. Not only were they gray-black in color, but they also emitted a strong stench of decay.
'Could these be foot-binding cloths?'
Forget about having any healing effect. Even a healthy person would probably get sick if wrapped with these.
