Chapter 667 Destination and Curse
Chapter 667 Destination and Curse
"Is this the 'dart'?"
After hearing Lin Yu's words, the snowy owls, seagulls and high mountains all seemed a little unbelievable and showed shocked expressions.
"The escort this escort team was carrying turned out to be a corpse... No, it wasn't even a corpse, just a mutilated body," Gao Shan said in surprise. "Why is that?"
After taking a closer look, Haiou was the first to realize the extraordinary nature of the thing behind Lin Yu.
"This is strange... Could this thing be alive?"
As a disciple of the great wizard of the Black Swamp, Seagull is indeed quite skilled.
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, this thing is alive."
"Even if it's alive, even if there's something strange about it," Snow Owl said, still a little confused, "but how is this thing related to Liu Zhen and the Spider Demon?"
"I don't know about that," Lin Yu shook his head and said, "but I heard some information about the origin of this thing from the NPC before."
Lin Yu said as he untied the body from his back, held up the arm and showed it to the three people: "This body belonged to a native martial arts master nicknamed 'Knife Demon' and named 'Xie Chong'..."
Then, Lin Yu briefly recounted to the three people the story about Xie Chong that he had heard from Chen Yuanye.
After hearing what Lin Yu repeated, the three of them understood.
"What a tortuous story," Seagull said with emotion, "Although Xie Chong is a demon, he is also a character."
"Who told you to listen to a story?" Snow Owl glanced helplessly at Seagull. "Get to the point—think about why Xie Chong is connected to Liu Zhen and the Spider Demon?"
"How could I have thought of that?"
Seagull curled her lips and said, "This story sounds like a love-hate relationship between a martial arts master. It doesn't have anything to do with Liu Zhen or demons."
Li Nian also sighed: "It seems that you three don't have a deep foundation in Prison Mountain, nor are you active enough. You don't really understand the various situations in the Prison Mountain Realm..."
Although veteran players have a basic understanding of each world and dungeon in the Ten Realms, usually they only have an in-depth understanding of the one or two worlds in which they have the deepest foundation.
Among the six known realms, most players are deeply involved in one realm and are relatively familiar with two realms.
Few players knew every world by heart. For example, people like Xie Chong, although he was already quite famous in the Prison Mountain Realm, were only active twenty years ago, and finally made a comeback two years ago, but died not long after. He was only a local master famous in a specific circle and range, and it was unlikely that ordinary people would know him at all.
Just like Art Mercury from the Wasteland - he is also a well-known figure in the City That Never Sleeps, but if you post on the forum to ask, it is probably rare to find someone who can answer who this person is.
"It would be great if Lao Zhou was here."
Li Nian couldn't help but sigh.
Someone who is familiar with the situation in the Prison Mountain Realm might know more about Xie Chong and the local world, and might be able to directly derive useful information from the existing information.
However... it is obvious that none of the current six people have this ability.
Even with the addition of the three newcomers, their understanding of the Prison Mountain Realm was limited.
"It's just that I'm afraid we haven't been able to tease out any useful clues from this information yet," Gao Shan said calmly, displaying the exceptional qualities of a frontline police officer. "We still need to collect more information and conduct more investigations."
Lin Yu nodded: "That's right, that's why we are heading in this direction - even if we didn't see the movement you made, we would still be heading in this direction."
"Because based on the information we've obtained... this 'remaining body' is somewhere northwest of Shuangsaw Mountain. I'm afraid there's another one, probably in a building similar to a Taoist temple."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Haiou and the other two looked at each other.
"Taoist temple? It seems we actually saw one!"
“It’s not far from the village where we first started.”
As Haiou was talking, Lin Yu said in surprise: "It really exists - do you remember where it is?"
After all, Lin Yu could only determine the general direction. This map was made a hundred years ago, so it was hard to say whether it was reliable or not.
If there is someone to lead the way directly, the efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
The seagull shook its head.
The snowy owl looked at the spider silk and spiders around it, and looked troubled.
"Well, if it weren't for these things, I might still be able to find the way...but now, I don't know."
However, the mountains nearby gave a positive answer.
"I should still remember the way, but it's a bit far. If I want to get there..."
He looked at Li Nian, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke normally: "Well, Ms. Thief, how long can you hold on to this Mermaid Elegy?"
This time, Li Nian glanced at the sculpture in his hand and gave a direct answer.
"Oh... well, it won't be long."
"Not long is how long?"
Snowy Owl asked with a frown.
"It's just... five, four, three, two, one..."
Li Nian suddenly counted down, and then——
The light of the sculpture suddenly dimmed and the singing stopped abruptly.
The invisible barrier was removed and Fei Dao screamed.
“How come it’s gone all of a sudden!”
The spiders that had been attacking the barrier and were blocked outside suddenly lost their resistance and rushed towards the six people inside the barrier along with the pale spider silk.
"Damn it!"
Snow Owl cursed inwardly, then drew out his long sword and slashed.
"Shh-!"
The long sword cut through the air, and the biting cold condensed into a tangible blade light that suddenly cut off most of the spiders and spider silk.
The effect of this cold blade light was obviously greatly reduced in the hell of fire, but even so, it still forced back most of the demons.
But the Snowy Owl didn't seem to be feeling well either. After it attacked, dense black thorn patterns appeared on its arms, and a thin layer of blood oozed out along the patterns.
Lin Yu looked at this scene, and Lao Zheng spoke.
"Wow... she has a high-level curse on her. No wonder she's ranked as this seemingly impressive 'Level 3'. Turns out her strength is compromised."
"Considering that this little girl is from the Night's Watch, this curse might have been created by that guy 'Adler'."
"Anyway, the good news is that in this [Confrontation] dungeon, she can only display half of her strength at most."
"The bad news is, it seems you no longer need to fight her; you've become her teammate."
Old Zheng spoke quickly and Lin Yu sighed.
"Indeed, if she were a powerful 'Level 3' in excellent condition, she wouldn't be so embarrassed by these spiders and spider silk."
"Now it seems that I am the only one who can take action."
Lin Yu turned to look at Li Nian and extended his hand.
"Give me the sculpture you have."
