In the darkness, a dim light appeared.

Someone appeared with a swinging kerosene lamp.

The visibility of this kerosene lamp is very low.

The visitor was completely shrouded in a large black robe, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. The light emitted by the kerosene lamp seemed to be absorbed by the skin, leaving a darkness on his face.

"who?"

Xiaoyao took the initiative and opened the door of the store.

Cold wind and cold rain poured into the store.

It was a lightless night outside, but the sword in Xiaoyao's hand was faintly emitting a cold light. The sword energy surged around the sword, and he could take off the sword at any time.

"Who are you? Why did you come to the Cursed City?"

As the visitor approached, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he was sawing wood.

There were also some weird gurgling sounds, as if there was water in the throat.

Being so close, even Alec could clearly see part of the person's appearance. The face under the hood was completely wrapped in a black cloth, only a pair of cloudy eyes were exposed.

I don't know if it was because of the kerosene light, but Alec saw that this man's eyes were yellow, which was very strange.

"The Cursed City?" Xiaoyao asked, "We accidentally landed on this island because of a shipwreck. Why is this place called the Cursed City?"

"Shipwreck? It's unlucky for you, you won't be able to get out of this hellish place."

"Can't get out? Why?" Xiaoyao asked.

The visitor did not answer, but suddenly said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, they are coming, go in, go in!"

He walked a few steps quickly and hurried to the door of the store.

Xiaoyao's eyes flickered twice, but he let this person in without making a move.

He did hear various movements mixed with the sound of falling rain, and there were more "people" approaching in the darkness.

"Quick, quick."

After the man came in, he said anxiously, "Turn out the lights, otherwise you will be discovered."

"What's outside?" Xiaoyao signaled everyone to do as he was told and put out the kerosene lamps.

"It's the evil ghost, the evil ghost of the cursed city, the shadow." The man said.

"What is the cursed city you mentioned?" Xiaoyao asked, standing next to the man without leaving a trace.

"This used to be a very prosperous town," the man said. "One day a group of pirates came in and massacred them. There were wizards among the pirates. After the massacre, they cursed the town, making everyone wander here.

Ghost, no one who strays into this town can escape."

"wizard?"

Xiaoyao caught one of the words. Is it a supernatural power that Alec didn't know about?

"Quick, quick, hide."

The man didn't answer. After he finished speaking, he went behind the store counter.

Xiaoyao grabbed his shoulders and pushed him backwards, causing the man to fall behind the debris on the other side.

"You hide here." He said.

"Stop talking nonsense and hide quickly." The man buried his head very low.

Xiaoyao looked at his hand, which was stained with some unknown dark green mucus, which was stained when he grabbed the man just now.

It feels quite sticky when you first get it. These things will definitely not rain in the sky.

With a stroke of luck, Xiaoyao completely shook away the mucus and hid in the shadows without leaving a trace.

The other four people also took Alec and hid.

Alec's heart was beating wildly as he looked outside, trying hard to see something in the lightless darkness.

For a moment, the entire store became extremely quiet.

You could even hear Alec's suppressed and rapid breathing.

The sound of footsteps stepping on stagnant water came from outside, and gradually became clearer. Xiaoyao and others saw a large number of black shadows appearing outside the store.

Several people held weapons in their hands.

"boom!"

There was a sound, and a rather tall black figure flew past the outside of the store.

After knocking over several black figures, it fell into a house at the corner, making a loud noise.

"Grrrrrr!"

A sound like drowning came from those black figures, and they immediately gave up approaching the store and flocked towards the direction from which the black figure had just flown.

The next second, Xiaoyao and the others saw a blaze of flames, like a huge fire snake opening its bloody mouth and passing by, swallowing up those black figures.

The blazing firelight danced in the dark night.

The falling rain evaporated, and those black shadows turned from black shadows into real black char.

It even smells like some barbecue.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

Alec's stomach growled again, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered his stomach.

He was hungry, but his stomach growled at the smell of barbecue, which still made him feel quite uncomfortable.

After all, it is not clear whether the things outside are humans, ghosts or monsters.

How can you develop an appetite for this damn thing?

"Is it the eleventh elder?"

Xiaoyao's teammate Gui Xie said in the team channel.

"It should be so, the flames are so strong and fierce. But doesn't the Eleventh Elder use a sword?"

Xia Yanzhen's blood-burning sword is worn on his waist, and everyone can see it.

"Maybe it's a sword of blazing flames."

A few people were just guessing.

Xiaoyao stretched out the Lengyue Sword in his hand towards the strange man's face, raised the tip of the sword, and opened the black cloth wrapped outside, revealing a somewhat distorted face.

This person's chin protrudes forward, and the area around his mouth is dark brown. If you look closely, you will find thin and dense scales, like fish scales.

Xiaoyao's movements were as fast as lightning. When the man realized that the disguise on his face was no longer effective, he hurriedly covered his face with his hands and yelled: "What are you doing!"

"what are you?"

Xiaoyao raised his sword just between the man's eyebrows, leaving a sword mark.

A trace of turbid yellow blood flowed from the wound, making the man calmer.

Others also lit their kerosene lamps again to see the man's appearance clearly.

Alec's face was full of surprise, this guy is so ugly!

The man hesitated and said nothing, and Xiaoyao didn't hesitate and directly swung his sword, leaving a wound on the man's body.

"Okay, I'll say it, I'll say it!" The man felt pain, took a few steps back, and immediately gave up.

At this time, someone approached with a kerosene lamp outside.

Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat returned and entered the store.

"The cans here are so rotten that they are no longer edible, but I found some very strange fish." Xia Yanzhen motioned for Tiamat to come forward.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tiamat threw the box in her hand to the ground.

The box rolled twice and opened, and several fish rolled out.

Several people took a closer look and all showed uncomfortable expressions: "What kind of strange fish is this?"

There were several fish jumping on the ground, all black and brown, as long as an adult's forearm, without scales, and covered with dark green mucus.

The mouth is open and protruding, revealing teeth that are very similar to humans - they are still in the shape of incisors.

Not only that, there are several small "arms" growing on the belly of the fish.

These arms look exactly like human arms, growing crookedly on the belly of the fish, like human hands that have been shrunk countless times.

The color is the same as the whole fish, showing dark brown.

The arms struggled with the beating of the fish and were constantly shaking and twitching, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

"This is a manta ray." The strange man looked at the fish on the ground and said.

"Oh, so those outside are devils?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"No, they are cursed ghosts."
