"The Ten Thousand Tribulations Corpse Curse?" Shi Mu's expression darkened.
"As far as I know, ordinary barbarians don't know much about this Ten Thousand Tribulations Corpse Soul Curse, and because it is very vicious, they will not be cast unless absolutely necessary. Because it requires one's own soul to be swallowed by the beast soul in one's totem, so that
After devouring its own totem, it is cursed, and then sealed into the enemy's body. With the help of the power of the beast soul, it gradually erodes the opponent's soul, and will eventually explode completely after a year, causing the host to taste desperate pain, and the whole body turns into pus and blood.
He will die, and his soul will also fall into a state of eternal damnation." Feng Li hesitated for a moment and said.
Shi Mu's face turned pale, and his body that was standing upright couldn't help but swayed, and he quickly held the table with his hands to prevent him from falling down.
"Brother Shi, don't panic. As far as I know, there is no solution to this kind of spell." Feng Li said quickly.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, you almost scared me to death!" After hearing this, Shi Mu relaxed and glared at Feng Li fiercely.
Feng Li had a look of disdain on his face, scratched his head, and continued:
"Generally speaking, there are two ways to remove this kind of curse. One is to ask a being at the earth level or above to put a seal on the curse totem to forcibly suppress the power of the curse. However, this sealing technique
Not only is it a waste of energy, it may even lead to the danger of backlash. In addition, suppression is only a temporary measure..."
Shi Mu touched his chin, his face darkened slightly.
The seven major sects are currently in a fierce battle with the barbarians. Not to mention the existence of the earth, even an innate master has become extremely important. Even if he reports the matter to the alliance, no one will pay attention to it at this juncture, let alone take the risk to help.
He is just an acquired warrior.
"Tell me another way." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and then said.
"The second method is for you, Brother Shi, to practice the secret art of totem. People who have been planted with the corpse soul curse of ten thousand tribulations only need to seal the soul of the same but more powerful beast on their body, and they can gradually become the soul of the totem."
He suppressed the curse in his body and absorbed it for his own use." Feng Li said after thinking for a while.
"Sealing a more powerful beast soul?" Shi Mu's face changed slightly after hearing this.
In these years of fighting with the barbarians on the front line, Shi Mu also had a certain understanding of the barbarian totem secrets.
The totem secret technique of the barbarians is a secret technique in which the barbarians seal the souls of some ferocious beasts in their bodies by some means, so that they can possess some of the abilities of the ferocious beasts. However, the dangers and sufferings of the sealing process are definitely far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Feng, for informing me. Although this matter is not easy, it is still more reliable than asking an earth-level being to take action." After Shi Mu's expression changed several times, he raised his hand and said.
"You're welcome, I'm just telling you the truth about what I know. As for where to find the soul of a ferocious beast that's cursed more powerfully than you, there's nothing I can do." Feng Li sighed with a complex look on his face.
The tone said.
If Shi Mu wants to practice the art of totem and completely lift the curse, he can only go to the barbarian wilderness. But Feng Li, who has lived in it, knows the dangers deep in the barbarian wasteland better than anyone else.
"It doesn't matter, it's better to have a way than to wait for death..." Shi Mu forced a smile.
"By the way, if Brother Shi wants to enter the barbarian wilderness, there is one thing you need to pay attention to." Feng Li said with a solemn expression.
"What's the matter?" Shi Mu frowned.
"I don't know which barbarian tribe the green-skinned barbarian you killed belongs to, but the totem warriors in his tribe should have a way to sense the Ten Thousand Tribulations Corpse Soul Curse in your body within a certain distance." Feng Li said solemnly.
said.
Shi Mu was shocked when he heard this. This was the first time he heard about it.
As a result, the risk will naturally be greater after entering the barbarian wilderness.
"However, this problem is not impossible to solve. I once saw in the Lancheng stronghold that the essence and blood of the ferocious beast Unicorn Viper of the Barbarian Wasteland was for sale. Before entering the Barbarian Wasteland, Senior Brother Shi might as well exchange some and smear it on
Above the totem, the one-horned viper is a higher-level snake beast among the wasteland beasts. Before the blood essence expires, it should have a certain inhibitory and covering effect on the curse on you." Feng Li suddenly thought of something.
. suggested.
Shi Mu was overjoyed when he heard this.
In the following time, Feng Li told Shi Mu some things about the barbarian wilderness, and then stood up to leave.
"Junior Brother Feng, please wait a moment." Shi Mu's eyes wavered slightly and he called Feng Li.
"Shi has a question. I wonder if Junior Brother Feng can answer it for me?" He hesitated and asked.
"Since the Ten Thousand Tribulations Corpse Soul Curse is so rare, its method of breaking the curse must be extremely secret. I wonder how Junior Brother Feng knew about it?" Shi Mu asked slowly.
When Feng Li heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Then he frowned and did not answer for a long time.
"If Junior Brother Feng feels embarrassed, just pretend that I didn't ask before." Shi Mu said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shi." Feng Li seemed to be relieved, and then quickly left.
Shi Mu closed the door, his eyes flashing with light.
Now that his doubts about Feng Li's identity have been reduced by most, he originally planned to return the object to him before entering the barbarian wilderness, but he always had a vague feeling that Feng Li's life experience was not simple.
After a moment, he shook his head, no longer thinking about Feng Li, but instead thinking about the sealing curse technique that Feng Li said.
The barbarian wasteland is full of dangers. Since ancient times, the seven major sects have sent experts to infiltrate it many times, including many innate-level experts. However, very few of them were able to come back alive in the end. Most of them were not heard from again soon after infiltrating.
He had read about these situations in the Black Demon Sect's classics, but now his life was at stake, so he had no choice but to brave it.
But before that, he still had some things to prepare. Otherwise, if he left the stronghold without saying a word, he might be wanted by the sect as a deserter.
After a long time, he opened the door and walked towards the main hall where resources were exchanged in the Lancheng stronghold.
In the early morning two days later, after verifying that Feng Li's words were correct through other channels and leaving a letter to the top leaders of the Black Demon Sect, Shi Mu quietly left the Lancheng stronghold alone and headed towards the Barbarian Wasteland.
Go in the direction.
…
A hundred miles away from the eastern coast of Daqi, there is a dotted archipelago, of which Xingzha Island, located at the easternmost end of the archipelago, is the largest.
The entire Xingzha Island looks like a half-opened folding fan. The topography of the island is high in the east and low in the west, like a natural barrier, protecting the other islands behind it.
To the east of the island is a rolling 100-foot-high mountain range, and to the west is a small plain with fertile land. Fresh water is barely sufficient. In the past few decades, it has attracted many poor people from Daqi to settle.
The fishermen who live here gradually have a population of more than 100,000 on Xingzha Island.
Since sea beasts often appear in the East China Sea, the fur and bones of sea beasts are all used as raw materials for refining weapons, talismans, and elixirs. Therefore, it attracted many warriors to come here, using it as a port. Teams went out to hunt sea beasts and sold them back to Daqi, which gradually formed
an industry.
As a result, Xingzha Island became more and more lively, with merchants gathering there, even those counties along the coast of Yuefu that were already prosperous.
However, this seemingly peaceful and fertile island is actually home to five thousand elite troops stationed by the Qi court all year round, and is always under tight security.
Since these troops did not cause any harm to the people and did not interfere with the warriors going to sea, no one cared about it.
Late at night, the sky and the earth were pitch black.
At this time, both the ordinary people on the island and the warriors had already fallen into a deep sleep, recharging their energy for the next day's busy schedule.
On a certain beach on the island, a fire dragon snaked past. This was a patrol team of about fifty people.
The sound of "rustling" footsteps came closer and then gradually faded away, and the beach soon fell into darkness again.
However, a moment later, there was suddenly no wind and waves on the dark sea outside the beach. A black line several feet high rose up from where it was and quickly approached the beach.
If there is anyone on the beach at this time, they will be surprised to find that there are dense figures of people standing on the waves, holding weapons.
Some of them are covered with fish scales, some have bodies with fish tails, and some have turtle-like hard shells on their backs. In short, they are all kinds of strange things, but the only thing they have in common is the murderous look in their eyes.
At the same time, in the largest barracks where the army was stationed on the island.
Beside the dark purple wooden table, a middle-aged general with a scar on his face and a serious expression was reading a volume of books intently under the light.
He did not take off his armor, and an unsheathed silver sword was placed on his right hand. The blade was covered with light golden runes.
This person is the guard of Xingzha Island, and he is also a Dzogchen warrior of the late acquired stage.
"who?"
The middle-aged general's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he instantly grasped the silver sword in his right hand. He suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.
"Boom", he was answered with a loud noise!
The roof suddenly collapsed, and five or six huge dark blue tentacles twisted and roared down at an alarming speed.
At the same moment, the surrounding air suddenly became heavier, as if it instantly turned into a vast ocean of sea water, and powerful binding forces surged toward the middle-aged general from all directions like waves.
"Ha" shouted loudly!
A dazzling golden light lit up from the silver sword. The middle-aged general's eyes widened angrily, his face flushed, he broke free from the restraints, and jumped into the sky with a stamp of his feet.
At the same time, the silver sword began to dance quickly, and soon turned into a pale golden vortex composed of golden sword energy, firmly protecting his whole body in it.
"Boom! Boom!"
Four blue tentacles, one on the left and one on the right, struck hard on the pale golden vortex one after another. The vortex suddenly lagged behind and collapsed.
The middle-aged general's face changed drastically as he stumbled out. Before he could move, two cold tentacles silently wrapped around his neck and waist, and an unstoppable terrifying force came from him.
There was a "click" sound.
His head was ripped off in an instant, with a look of shock and anger on his face.
A rain of blood poured down from the sky, and a headless corpse and a head fell from the air.
The six blue tentacles twisted and then retracted from the break in the roof, and instantly merged into one, turning into a long blue whip, wrapped around the arm of a girl in white.
The girl in white looked up at the sky, suddenly opened her mouth, and a stream of silent waves spurted out!
Immediately afterwards, shouts of killing erupted from all directions on the island almost simultaneously.
For a moment, the originally peaceful Xingzha Island was filled with flames, as bright as day...
The same scene happened on several outlying islands of Yan Kingdom and Huang Kingdom at almost the same time.
