Chapter 20: The Curse
In the quiet wooden house, Bai Ye glanced at Ellie who was lying on the only wooden bed in the room, and the skeleton girl who was covering Ellie with a quilt, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is only one bed, so it is difficult for the two of them to sleep together.
Thinking like this, such a picture appeared in front of Bai Ye's eyes.
On the slightly narrow wooden bed, the ghost girl who is a foodie is drooling at the corner of her mouth, and she is holding the skeleton girl next to her with a comfortable face.
Then, driven by the instinct of a foodie, the ghost girl took a bone from the skeleton girl's body into her mouth, and ate it with relish.
However, the skeleton girl on the other side did not react, but took the initiative to remove the bones on her body.
Then do the feeding play.
How to say it, the picture is too beautiful, some can't look at it directly, and Bai Ye suddenly feels bad.
"Human, let me ask you again, do you really intend to learn the secrets of this wood, or do you just plan to leave without asking anything?"
"You know, if you know the secrets of this wood, I guess you won't be able to leave."
"No, I guess you can't walk now."
"After all, that guy should have known as soon as you stepped into the woods as a human......"
Bai Ye listened to the skeleton girl's inexplicable words, a little dazed, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart.
That guy? Is there any other powerful presence in this woods besides her?
Bai Ye, who was originally a little expert in death, didn't intend to suppress his burning curiosity at all, so he blurted out.
"Please tell me everything about this place, even though Ellie and I have only known each other for one night, anyway, she's also my friend, so I want to help her as much as I can."
"Oh, how daring. Unfortunately, this is just recklessness! β
"Well, although your strength is not enough at all. But for the sake of your word, I'll tell you all this. β
"The meaning of the existence of this wood, and the curse that exists here!"
Listening to the skeleton girl's faint words, as well as the solemnity on her face (uh, it is said that skeletons have no face), Bai Ye felt that if the other party told a horror story, it would definitely scare a bunch of people.
Although, the way the other party exists, it is scary enough.
Putting aside the messy thoughts in his heart, Bai Ye began to listen carefully to the skeleton girl's story, and he gradually learned some secrets about this forest.
This forest, originally, is just a very ordinary forest in the [Unfortunate Plains], and it can be said that it is the only place on this plain where people can rest at ease.
Because of this, every year travelers who pass by the [Unfortunate Plains] choose to spend the night here.
However, one day, a swordsman who passed by accidentally angered the entire demon cow herd, so he fled to the woods with a serious injury, intending to avoid the pursuit.
However, the Devil Bulls soon discovered his hiding place.
In the midst of his life, the swordsman used necromantic magic from an evil wizard to transform himself into an undead warrior.
And then, the slaughter began.
The swordsman, who had greatly increased his strength because of his use of necromancy, quickly eliminated the demon bulls who surrounded him.
and also slaughtered the demon cow on the plain frantically.
As a result, from then on, the demon bulls regarded this forest as a forbidden place, and did not dare to set foot here.
However, it's not over yet.
In order to survive, a swordsman who becomes a necromantic warrior must regularly drink the blood of humans to ensure that his form does not collapse.
To this end, the swordsman began to hunt the people who passed by here every year.
When the travelers entered the woods, he would brutally kill them and turn them into skeleton soldiers.
In addition, he uses magic to lock the blood into the skeleton's body.
In this way, when he needs to, he can survive by eating those skeleton soldiers.
However, in order to hunt more people, the woods were also cursed by the swordsman.
Anyone who dies in this forest will be transformed into skeleton soldiers, then bloodthirsty monsters, following the swordsman's orders.
"And this forest has also grown some mushrooms with the smell of blood because too many people have died."
"Ellie and I both died in this wood, so the two of us had to eat that mushroom every day to suppress the bloodthirsty urge in our hearts."
"It's just that humans have been here for a long time, and Ellie smelled the smell of your blood, and she couldn't help it for a while, so she attacked you in the middle of the night."
"So, do you now understand what kind of situation you're in?"
"Now you, I'm afraid that you have already been discovered by the swordsman from decades ago, and it is estimated that he will come to you."
"And, after all that experience, do you really think you can be friends with bloodthirsty monsters like me and Ellie?"
"Human boys, don't be too naΓ―ve. Hurry up and leave now, maybe it's still too late. β
Bai Ye listened to the skeleton girl's words, although it was a little ugly, but he could indeed feel that the other party was thinking about his own safety.
Moreover, there are obviously some problems in the words of the skeleton girl.
For example, why does the Skeleton Girl know so much about this forest? Why, after turning into a skeleton, does she still have a will of her own?
What's more, Ellie's form of existence.
Since Ellie also died in this wood, why didn't she turn into a skeleton?
Although there are many questions, it seems that even if you ask yourself, the other party may not say it.
Hawkers, forget it, I'll know when the time comes.....
The reason why Bai Ye thought so was because just now, he suddenly received a task from the system.
[Mission: Solve the Necromantic Event in [Plains of Unfortunity]]
[Task reward: 8W points, your own strength will be increased by one level]
[Mission Failure Penalty: None]
[Ps: The host of this task is free to choose whether to accept it or not, because this task is extremely risky, and the host has an 85% chance of death. If you choose to accept, you will be given a free chance to heal during this mission. Please choose your host carefully! γ
Bai Ye looked at the information of the system and couldn't help but smile slightly.
85% mortality, so what?
Anyway, they are all people who have died once, so what is there to be afraid of.
And this mission has such a rich reward, it's not so easy to encounter.
What's more, I'm a man with the aura of the protagonist, uh, boy, how can I get a bento so easily!
Bai Ye silently chose to accept the task in his mind, and then smiled at the skeleton girl opposite.
"Well, although what you said before is indeed terrifying, I am not one to back down so easily!"
"No matter what, the friends I identify with will always be friends."
"Besides, isn't it fun to break the curse or something?"
The skeleton girl looked at the excitement and determination in the eyes of the human boy opposite her, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart.
So, stupid to send to death, it doesn't seem to be.
This kind of fighting spirit is also very strange no matter how you look at it.
Although she was surprised by Bai Ye's performance, she was still very worried in her heart.
After all, the other party is a "monster"!
βββββββββββββββ
While White Night was talking to the skeleton girl, somewhere in the woods, an unusual movement was brewing.
"Well, do you know where that human is?"
In the dark environment, a pair of fiery red fires emerged from the eyes of a skeleton with a black skeleton.
"Click, click!"
In front of the black skeleton, a skeleton soldier seemed to say something, and a pair of upper and lower jaws that had turned into bones kept colliding.
"Yes, at that woman's!"
The black skeleton lowered its head as if in deep thought, and then his right hand instantly punched, knocking the original skeleton soldier into a pile of bones.
"Click!"
The black skeleton picked up the bones on the ground, bit them one by one, and absorbed them into its body.
After eating, he picked up a large sword beside him, the red fire flickering in his eyes.
Then, the black skeleton raised its greatsword and suddenly let out a piercing chirp.
"Broken!" "Broken!" "Broken!" "Broken!" "Broken!" ......
Countless skeleton soldiers emerged from the periphery of the black skeleton, each wearing various types of equipment, like an army.
The black skeleton glanced around at the group of soldiers, then muttered to himself.
"Tonight, I'll definitely get rid of you!"
"And that human can't escape either!"
The mighty army of skeletons set off towards somewhere in the woods, and it all signaled that tonight would be a sleepless night.......
