"...something's not right."

Si Anqi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He vaguely sensed something was wrong. Although he was only an instant transcendent, Si Anqi had already reached the silver level, and his perception attribute was not too low.

It's not as simple as someone following you.

After he left the team, he vaguely felt a strange malice. He didn't go far when he felt a sense of discomfort gradually coming from his body.

To describe it, it was like having a cold or a fever. But the discomfort came so violently... In less than a minute, he felt that his body was shaky and his head was dizzy.

He even felt that his chest was becoming more and more heavy, and his breathing became difficult and sluggish. His limbs became heavier, and the skin of his body became more and more intense neuralgia.

……wrong.

Si Anke suddenly reacted and glanced at his status bar.

Health: 85%

After about three or four seconds, the number dropped by 1%.

The moment he realized that he was actually losing blood, Si An immediately became vigilant.

He stood there and counted quietly.

After ten seconds, he lost 1% of his health; after another ten seconds, he lost another 1%.

...Is it precisely controlled at a dot that jumps every ten seconds?

Related to the number ten.

This should be the curse of the moth mother's domain.

But what is the medium?

Why are you cursing me... No, don't worry about this problem for now.

Si Anke quickly calmed down and began to look around, looking for something related to the number ten.

At the same time, a thought emerged in his mind and he began to calculate:

——If we push back according to this blood loss rate, it would have started almost five minutes after he left the main force...

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped walking and started to return the same way despite the increasingly strong feeling of illness.

He tried his best to keep his movement speed consistent with when he came here.

And the moment his health dropped to 67%.

Si Anqi clearly saw something unusual - a soaked hemp rope was thrown into a fish tank.

And there are ten knots on this hemp rope.

"……Knot?"

Si Anke murmured in a low voice.

He remembered - "knot" seemed to be a medium for curses.

After Tasty Wind Goose shared many ritual theories, Si Anke discovered that there were strange similarities with some ancient ethnic customs on the earth. So he bought some folklore books some time ago to look up information.

The natives of the East Indies believe that "tying a knot" can tie the fetus inside the mother's body. This means that it can prevent her from giving birth and cause dystocia, or her body will recover very slowly after delivery. Therefore, they believe that during pregnancy, the husband and

No wife can "tie the knot."

In some places in Southeast Asia, when a mother gives birth, she will untie all the things that can be untied inside and outside the house - such as hair braids, shoelaces, cables, and also remove the gunpowder from the gun chamber and put down the arrows from the bow.

, you can't even sit cross-legged - because crossing your legs is also a "knot".

Russians also use knotted nets to fight against wizards... This is why Russian brides wear knotted veils when they get married. This kind of knotted headnet is considered by the Russians

Can resist spells.

There are some wizards among the Huo people in West Africa who will curse their enemies by tying knots with straw ropes. If they cannot find the knot and untie it, they will die of illness. The Quran also mentions "those who blow on the knots".

It refers to a wizard who curses others by tying knots. Even Muhammad was almost killed by this method. In the end, an archangel came and directly helped him find the hiding place of the knots and survived; the French

It is believed that knotting can be used to curse other people's unhappy marriages and make couples fight... The specific manifestation is to make men unable to get hard.

Although this is a fairly common witchcraft, in this world, among all the types of rituals taught by Delicious Wind Goose, none of the rituals related to "tying knots" appear.

So Si An Ke didn't care about this kind of thing at that time.

But when he saw this knot, it was very unnatural that it was still in the fish tank - you know, there are still live fish in this fish tank. Such a thick knot was still in the fish tank, directly

The water is contaminated.

But the shop owner didn't respond at all and turned a blind eye.

Either he is with the person who attacked him; or he is already under someone's control.

So Si Anke ignored the shopkeeper at all and directly fished the hemp rope out of the fish tank.

...how to solve this problem?

Should I open the knot, or just cut it off with a sword like Alexander did...

Let's just be on the safe side.

"——Hey, what are you doing?"

At this moment, the shopkeeper wiped his hands with a towel and shouted in a bad tone: "Don't touch that rope - put that thing back!"

He was a big man with dark skin and a thick body.

His eyes glowed a bright brown - a testament to his pure-blooded underground status.

"……oh?"

After Si Anke heard this, he suddenly felt much calmer.

He thought he might be looking in the wrong direction...

But if you say that, then I feel relieved.

So without thinking, he reached out and opened the knots one by one. As each knot was opened, he felt his body relax.

"Hello!"

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper rushed over to stop him.

But he didn't wait until he took a few steps forward.

The ground in front of him suddenly exploded—viscous orange flames spewed upwards in bunches.

Amidst the miserable wailing, the man was burned to ashes by the raging fire in four to five seconds. Then the flames on the floor gradually dissipated.

——This is [Fire Trap].

One of Destroyer's exclusive skills, its appearance is a very thin milky white card, which will gradually turn black after being activated, and being pressed by a heavy object will accelerate this process extremely quickly.

Once it turns completely black, it will emit a scorching beam of flame equivalent to the bronze-level destructive spell "Jet Flame", which is hot enough to burn a person into coke; if you want to remove this trap, you must soak the card with hot blood

.and then rip him apart before it dries.

Otherwise, even if you cut it off with a sword, the trap spell will be triggered immediately.

Before he rushed over, Si Anji threw it in front of him with his drooping hand. The moment the man came over, he immediately triggered the trap——

At this time, Si An Ke had already untied all the knots.

He suddenly felt his body light up, and all the sudden discomfort was gone.

This is really the problem.

Si Anqi breathed a sigh of relief and threw the knot into the fire remaining on the body without thinking.

——Suddenly, a line of blood-red, somewhat scrawled characters suddenly appeared in front of Si Anke's eyes, which frightened him:

[Curse has been cut off - Moth's Knot]

The next moment, the rope burned by the fire suddenly disintegrated into countless gray moths. They flapped their flaming wings and flew towards the sky. But they did not fly far before they crashed to the ground one by one and turned into a moth.

Piles of ashes.

As for the burned hemp rope, there seemed to be something in it...

Si Anke ignored the passers-by who fled in panic because their boss was suddenly killed. Instead, he squatted on the ground and took out the hemp rope after the flames went out.

He peeled off the black ash covering the hemp rope, revealing the thin golden threads inside.

It seemed like hair, but also like extremely thin copper wire...

And when Si Anji came into contact with it, the system panel appeared in front of his eyes:

【Young hair (remains)】

[Type: Material/Miscellaneous (Blue)]

[Description: The hair of an old and young person has been treated with a special medicine. It has been destroyed, but there is still a usable curse.]

[Effect: The holder will be cursed to "accelerate aging"]

[Accelerated Aging: The holder’s aging speed is doubled]

...After it is destroyed, can there still be blue-level magical materials?

Si Anqi's first reaction was "Shouldn't I use fucking fire to burn it?", and then he felt a little distressed. But he quickly realized that the temperature of the flame was not high anymore, and it was said that it was unlikely to burn it.

burn.

It is estimated that part of the curse was damaged because the "Moth's Knot" was destroyed.

...But he is a player?

He doesn't know anyone here at all, so there can't be any grudge...
