"What on earth is this? How could this happen? What's in it?"
Gu Tian was completely shocked.
Before that, he thought the so-called darkness was just night.
Xuanyuan Yue and Beiluo Shimen said so bizarrely, maybe it's just that Dou Shen Village is isolated from the world and is too conservative and superstitious.
It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he understood how terrifying and strange this curse was.
The darkness surging above the head is like a black ocean, covering the entire Doushen Village. There are thousands of demons inside that are eyeing the entire Doushen Village, shuttle back and forth, screaming one after another, the sound is so fierce that it makes people scalp.
numb.
"Don't go out after dark. This is the curse of our Dou Shen Village." Fomalhaut said with a bitter smile.
"I want to visit the entrance of the village." Gu Tian said.
"It's useless to look at it." Fomalhaut shook his head.
"I want to take a closer look." Gu Tian insisted.
"Well, there's nothing going on anyway, so it doesn't hurt to go and have a look with you." Xuanyuan Yue nodded.
Although Fomalhaut was somewhat disapproving, he still acquiesced.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village.
There are two statues standing there, as tall as two people, with long tongues sticking out of their mouths, and an extremely weird and treacherous smile on their faces, which makes people's hair stand on end.
"Is this statue... the patron saint of your Dou Shen Village?" Gu Tian asked.
"That's right." Xuanyuan Yue nodded first, and then said: "But it's also a curse from our Fighting God clan."
"What's the meaning?"
"While the statue protects us, it also creates an inescapable hell for us, the Fighting God clan!"
"Can you be more specific?" Gu Tian said sarcastically.
"Let's put it this way, our curse comes from these statues. But at the same time, it also protects us."
"So where did these statues come from?"
"No one knows." Xuanyuan Yue shook her head.
"Don't your ancestors also know?" Gu Tian asked in surprise.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Yue said: "These statues existed earlier than the first generation ancestors of our Dou Shen clan."
"Is it so old?" Gu Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But then, he cautiously asked: "Have you ever thought about destroying these statues?"
Since the curse comes from the statue, wouldn't destroying it break the curse?
"It's not that no one has thought about it, but it's just that it can't be destroyed at all."
Fomalhaut smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what kind of material these statues are made of. Not only are they so hard that they cannot be shaken, but they remain incorruptible even after years of vicissitudes."
"Can I try?" Gu Tian asked, pointing to the statue.
"Just try!" Fomalhaut made a "please" gesture.
Xuanyuan Yue rolled her eyes and said mockingly: "We, the Fighting God clan, are all born with divine power. If we could shake them, these statues would have ceased to exist long ago."
"Maybe I, an outsider, can just shake it up?"
Gu Tian didn't believe it, so he walked to the statue and stretched out his hand to touch it.
The tentacles are cold, as if they can penetrate into people's bones.
"It's really different!" Gu Tian sighed.
The next moment, he mobilized spiritual power to flow into his palm, and then it vibrated suddenly.
"snort!"
The statue made a low echo.
But instead of moving at all, he himself was knocked back two steps.
"Have you given up now?" Xuanyuan Yue teased again at the right time.
Gu Tian didn't answer. He stretched out his five fingers and made a "clang" sound, and a silver giant hammer appeared out of thin air in his hand.
It is his spiritual weapon, Thunder!
Taking a deep breath, he exerted all his strength and swung the hammer.
"when!"
There was a loud noise, and the statue did not move at all. Instead, his giant hammer was instantly retracted into his body by the shock.
"Oh my god, I really can't shake it. What kind of material is this made of?"
Gu Tian can no longer remain calm.
The hammer he just struck would have flattened even a piece of steel, but this statue, which looked mottled and about to be weathered, actually had no marks at all.
"You have to give up now." Fomalhaut said with a bitter smile.
"What is the darkness outside the statue?" Gu Tian looked outside the statue again.
The darkness there was like a tide, as thick as ink, and it surged like a vast ocean, making a roaring sound that was soul-stirring.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Gu Tian walking towards the darkness step by step, Xuanyuan Yue said anxiously: "Don't come close, you will be swallowed!"
Fomalhaut also rushed over in a few steps and grabbed Gu Tian, "Any living creature that enters the darkness will only be left with bones in an instant."
"What's inside?" Gu Tian became even more curious.
"As I said, everyone who knows is dead. If you are bent on seeking death, then just go in and try."
With that said, Fomalhaut let go of Gu Tian's hand.
He was just talking angrily, but when he saw Gu Tian's next move, he almost fell to the ground.
"I really want to try it!"
As he spoke, Gu Tian really walked step by step towards the turbulent darkness.
"Are you crazy?"
"Are you looking for death?"
Beiluo Shimen and Xuanyuan Yue were shocked to the extreme.
But Gu Tian seemed to have not heard anything at all. He strode forward to the darkness and slowly stretched out his hand forward.
"Brother, do you think there is something wrong with him?" Xuanyuan Yue stamped her feet in anger.
Beiluo Shimen swooped over and grabbed Gu Tian's hand, "Are you really tired of living?"
"Don't get excited, I'm not crazy, and I'm not looking for death!" Gu Tian said with a bitter smile.
Seeing that Fomalhau's face was still livid, he added patiently: "I'm really going to be fine, believe me!"
"you……"
Fomalhaut wanted to say something more, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
Because when he was saying these words, Gu Tian's other hand had suddenly thrust into the darkness ahead.
It’s over!
This is the common sentiment of Fomalhaut and Xuanyuan Yue.
Whenever a living creature enters the darkness, its flesh and blood will be devoured in an instant.
In the past, countless people from their Fighting God Clan tried their own methods, but in the end no one was spared.
Gutian desperately stretched out his hand to try. Needless to say, when he pulled it back, there was definitely only a withered bone left in that arm.
However……
"Whoa!"
Gu Tian took back his hand again.
The thick white bones in the imagination did not appear in reality. Gu Tian's arm was actually intact.
"Didn't I say it was okay? Do you believe it now?" Gu Tian smiled.
Beiluo Shimen and Xuanyuan Yue were stunned on the spot.
"how so?"
"Are you okay?"
After staring blankly at Gu Tian for a long time, Beiluo Shimen and Xuanyuan Yue exclaimed at the same time.
Gu Tian did not answer immediately. He looked at the ink-like darkness in front of him for a moment, and then looked sideways at the two strange statues.
After a moment, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If I said that I could lift the curse of your Dou Shen clan, would you believe it or not?"
