The first thousand one hundred and eighty-six chapters cursed land
A small village with only a few hundred people held a banquet that lasted until midnight. Food and wine were served to the long table as if they could grow out of thin air. Later, Hao Ren even began to doubt whether the banquet would be possible.
It would go on like this forever, like the wheel-shaped flow of time that would never end. However, the banquet finally came to an end, and it ended when Lily was already holding her rice bowl and snoring.
The banquet dispersed, but the villagers gathered in the square seemed to still be immersed in endless celebrations. The young men and women began to dance an ancient dance around the bonfire, while others were making loud noises and drinking the rest.
Good wine, these villagers who seemed numb and vulgar during the day seemed to have gained some kind of spiritual power at night, and became particularly vivid, that is, vivid, the most suitable word that Hao Ren thought of was this.
Catherine and the Wang brothers had participated in the subsequent celebrations of the villagers without any barriers, and Pierre was not exempted. He was dragged to the bonfire by two village girls. At least now he seemed to be fully engaged in the celebration.
During this enjoyment, however, Hao Ren and his party declined the invitation of the old village chief and other villagers. They requested to go back to the longhouse to rest on the grounds that they were tired from the long journey. After some negotiation, this request was met.
The longhouse is some distance from the central square, but the noise in the square can still be clearly transmitted to the longhouse. The first thing Hao Ren and his party did after returning was to check their physical condition. In addition to self-awareness, they also asked
The data terminal conducted a comprehensive scan of everyone.
"The situation is normal," the data terminal said after checking Hao Ren's body for the last time. "The things you ate before did have some weird magic reaction. It seems to be something spawned by magic, but for your physique,
The impact of these magical powers is minimal."
"This heartless thing can eat at least six people's meals." Hao Ren covered his forehead and glanced at Lily, who was sleeping soundly on the low bed next to him. "She's not worried at all."
Lily's powerful and tenacious biological clock was working, and she was currently in a state of being unable to wake up. After eating, the husky girl fell asleep in a ball and showed no reaction to Hao Ren's comments.
"Nothing in the world can stop a husky from stuffing food into its mouth, except for the pile of imperial exclamations you brought back last time." Vivian glanced sideways at Hao Ren, "What do you think is going on in this place? Yes.
Could it be that Hercules arranged some powerful secret realm blockade here in order to avoid the demon hunter's eyes?"
Hao Ren shook his head: "I can't see any clues yet. I can only confirm that the atmosphere in the village is extremely weird, but I guess we will know the reason soon. That Pierre is obviously still..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of footsteps came from outside, followed by several knocks on the door, and Pierre's voice sounded: "You haven't rested yet, have you?"
Hesperus stood up and opened the door, while Vivian threw a small bat out of the window, and then nodded: "He came alone. It seems that he left the villagers behind."
After Pierre entered the room, Hao Ren poured him a glass of water: "I thought you couldn't escape."
At this time, Pierre's behavior was indeed completely different from his behavior at the previous banquet. His previous calm, comfortable and adaptable appearance was replaced by a serious and worried face. He took the oak water glass handed over by Hao Ren.
After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't drink: "I'd better not touch these things again. This is a cursed place."
"We know there's something wrong with this place," Hesperius said casually, leaning against the door, "but what's the curse?"
"This is" Pierre looked curiously at Hao Ren and Vivian. He pointed at Hesperius and Lily, who was snoring. "They are also from your side, right? I am lucky enough to know them first."
His identity?"
As expected, the curiosity of a detective in the spiritual world will never diminish under any circumstances.
"Oh, you almost met them last time," Hao Ren didn't mind, pointing to the two companions and introducing them, "This is a descendant of Olympus, whose real name is Hesperus. You have to study it.
If you're talking about mythology, you should know who she is. The one who is sleeping right now is the overlord of the snowfields in the North, known as the low-end version of Fenrir."
Vivian was a bit dissatisfied with Hao Ren's choice of words and sentences: "You said that the Demon Hunter Emperor is better than the low-level Fenrir."
Hao Ren curled his lips and said, "No way, when I mention the late emperor, I can't help but think of Zhongdao's death, even though she did die back then."
Pierre didn't know what Hao Ren was muttering to Vivian. When he heard the name of Hesperius, his whole body perked up in an instant. At this time, he stared blankly at the legendary
The "Goddess of Twilight" has an expression on her face that is 100% that of looking at a walking ancient fossil: "Descendant of Olympus?! Oh my god! It's worth it for me to be trapped here!"
"Okay, okay, don't mention that time, I'm sad," Hesperius waved his hand vigorously, "You should tell me what the curse you just mentioned is about. Are you really trapped here?"
Speaking of this matter, Pierre calmed down in an instant. He first asked about the mental state of Hao Ren and his party: "Do you feel anything unusual now? Do you still want to leave here? Can you still remember how you came here?
Did you get here?"
Hao Ren reassured the other party: "Don't worry, we have a lot of resistance. At least this little magic erosion has no effect on us at the moment. Are you referring to the previous food? It has no effect."
"It's not just food," Pierre looked serious. "From the moment you stepped into this place, this cursed land has begun to prevent you from leaving. The so-called curse is like this. You must find a way to leave here immediately. From now on
The curse here may be lifted from the outside, but if it takes too long, I'm worried that even you will be affected."
As he spoke, Pierre felt a little uncomfortable continuing. He remembered that the group of people in front of him were genuine supernatural creatures and truly belonged to "that world." I am afraid that a half-hearted spiritual world detective like himself would not be able to estimate this group of "
With the power of "magical creature", he felt that his words were a bit arrogant.
Of course Hao Ren didn't care about this. He was very grateful to Pierre for his kind reminder, but he was also very confident: "Don't worry, we know our capabilities. I have dealt with the more dangerous places."
In fact, he wanted to say that he had bombed even more dangerous places, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was like being led into a ditch by the Dragon Queen. He had unknowingly accepted the setting of Bomb Ren, so he quickly swallowed this sentence.
Went back.
Pierre breathed: "Of course it's best. This cursed place has swallowed up countless people. If you didn't show up, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"How long have you been trapped here?" Hao Ren looked at Pierre's clothes and said, "I see you will be in this state for a long time."
Vivian also added: "There are three other people. Are they not on the same side as you? Do you know their situation?"
"Here, the decay of things cannot be used as a time reference," Pierre looked at his outfit. "Some things can last longer, and some things will decay at a higher speed than the outside world. There is no pattern.
I have been trapped here for two months, and the two Chinese people named Wang seemed to have come a year ago. As for that Catherine"
Pierre paused and frowned: "I have talked with her before, but she has been completely captured by this land, and all her minds have been distorted, and sometimes she even thinks that she is a native of this village.
.Only once did I hear topics related to the outside world from her, and she thought the current president of the United States was George W. Bush."
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, and Hesperus said leisurely: "That was so many years ago."
"Obviously, being trapped here will cause the passage of personal time to become weird. Catherine always feels that she has only been here a few days," Pierre shrugged. "In fact, if I hadn't been taking potions,
, I have lost myself a long time ago.”
"Why did you come here?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"In order to find the secrets of ancient times, what else?" Pierre smiled bitterly, "Spiritual detectives are scavengers who follow the fragments of history. I saw this place and some ancient families in some broken ancient books.
The descendants called this place a cursed place, so I came here to see if there were any relics that could be unearthed, but I almost got myself in. Hey, I was seriously injured by an evil spirit last year when I was looking for a secret tower.
However, I just recovered two months ago, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a place again.”
Vivian looked at Pierre for a while, then suddenly patted the latter on the shoulder: "Young man, listen to my advice, you are not suitable for this business. You are naturally good at getting yourself into all kinds of fatal incidents."
