Chapter 1098 The Triggered Curse
Chapter 1098 The Triggered Curse
The valuables and things that needed to be moved were basically emptied out to prevent any mysterious party from using the items to search for the location of Chen Fan's family.
However, I originally thought that Chen Fan's family was just an ordinary family. After all, all the family members were ordinary people, except for Chen Fan and Chen Yue's excellent performance in school. They were geniuses rising from the common people.
The rest of the place is pretty ordinary.
Chen Fan stood in the middle of the empty living room. The wooden floor still bore scratches from dragging furniture during the move.
Huandie squatted down, lightly traced a crack with her fingertips, and suddenly looked up: "No, the aura here has been deliberately concealed."
Her pupils glowed with a faint purple light, and it seemed as if countless tiny threads were trembling in the air.
Tang Jun's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly pulled out the short blade from his waist.
The sound of metal friction startled Yisha and he immediately took a defensive stance, while Mo Yu used his backhand to stick the talisman on the door frame.
"Someone got there before us."
Tang Jun pointed his blade at the ceiling, where black slime was oozing out and slowly dripping like melted asphalt.
The moment the slime fell to the ground, Chen Fan smelled a pungent fishy sweetness.
He subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, but saw that Chen Ke had already crushed a jade talisman.
The moment the pale golden light appeared, the mucus let out a sharp hissing sound and twisted and gathered into a human-shaped outline.
The "person" had no facial features, but three bloody wounds were ripped open on his neck. He uttered incoherent words: "Chen Yue...blood sacrifice..."
"It's the manifestation of the backlash of the tracking spell." Chen Ke's voice was solemn. "Someone took advantage of the curse on Chen Yue and used this house as a medium to initiate the sacrificial ritual before us."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Yu's talisman suddenly exploded and the entire door collapsed.
On the street outside the door, a dozen or so humanoid creatures covered in vines were slowly approaching, with a faint green light flickering in their empty eye sockets.
The long sword was unsheathed and the sword energy split the nearest monster.
Mo Yu took the opportunity to throw out several fire talismans, but saw that the vines on the monster's body grew wildly when they encountered fire, and swallowed up the flames in an instant.
The Phantom Butterfly lightly tapped the ground with its fingertips, and countless butterfly shadows flew into the air, but turned into powder the moment they touched the monster.
"These are not ordinary pollutants." Tang Jun's blade was already stained with black. "Their vitality depends on the mysterious energy in the environment. The energy source must be cut off!"
He suddenly grabbed Chen Fan's wrist and pushed him backwards: "Go find your sister's remaining belongings! Anything that has her scent!"
Chen Fan stumbled into his sister's room and stuffed all the hairpins in the drawer, the photos on the bedside table, and even the diary hidden under the bed into his backpack.
Just as he grabbed the photo frame, the glass suddenly shattered, and a yellowed photo fell to the ground - in the photo, young Chen Yue was holding a teddy bear with a bright smile.
"Found it!" Chen Fan just shouted when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.
He looked back and saw that the spikes of a vine monster had pierced his shoulder, and the fishy juice was spreading along the wound.
Before he lost consciousness, he threw the teddy bear into the living room.
The moment Chen Ke caught the doll, the whole room was suddenly covered by soft white light.
The vine monster let out a shrill scream and began to wither rapidly.
Tang Jun seized the opportunity and stabbed the short blade into the core of the tracking spell incarnation.
Black slime splattered out, condensing into a line of blood-red text in the air: "Three days later, a blood moon will appear in the sky, and the altar will be completed."
"Oh no." Chen Ke looked at the gradually disappearing text. "The other party used Chen Yue's curse to construct a sacrificial formation. The night of the blood moon is the time for the ritual to be completed."
He turned to look at the unconscious Chen Fan, "We must find the altar before this, otherwise not only Chen Yue, but the entire city will become a sacrifice."
Mo Yu tore off the bandage and bandaged Chen Fan's wound, muttering to himself: "To be able to set up a formation of this level, the mastermind behind it must be at least an A-level Contract Master... No, maybe not a Contract Master at all."
She suddenly shuddered, "Do you think it could be those false gods..."
The room fell into dead silence.
Outside the window, dark clouds began to gather and the sound of rumbling thunder could be heard in the distance.
Chen Fan struggled to wake up in severe pain. He looked at everyone's solemn faces and clenched the torn photo in his hand.
"No matter who it is, I must rescue my sister."
His voice was hoarse but firm, "Even if I have to face a false god, I will not back down."
Tang Jun patted his shoulder, a rare look of approval in his eyes: "This is more like a master of tricks. Now, we have to find clues from these monsters--"
He kicked the withered vines at his feet. "The energy fluctuations on them seem to be related to the code names we mentioned in the meeting..."
As the night deepened, the city lights looked particularly dim under the dark clouds.
No one noticed that in the shadow of a tall building, a pair of bloodshot eyes were watching all this.
The man in the black robe licked his lips and chuckled softly, "Finally took the bait, Chen Fan... Your struggles are just the spice that makes this blood sacrifice even more perfect."
