"Because ......"

For a while, Pang Xiaodou really didn't know what reason to say so that the mayor would willingly let him go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Humph! Can't tell, right? ”

The mayor looked at him coldly, stretched out his hand and stroked his mustache, snorted coldly, and ordered, "Come on, take him down for me, three days of confinement!" ”

At this time, Pang Xiaodou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly raised his right hand, showed the two-tailed scorpion pattern on the back of his hand, and said loudly: "Because we are grasshoppers on a rope!" ”

When the mayor stroked his beard, he was pleasantly surprised to see that even the back of the mayor's hand had this pattern.

"Wait!"

The mayor of the town looked very good, hurriedly stopped the militia under him, walked up a few steps in front of Pang Xiaodou, grabbed his hand and opened his eyes wide for a long time to confirm carefully, and then asked with a surprised face, "This curse, you...... You've been to that temple too? ”

"Temple? What temple? ”

Pang Xiaodou was stunned for a moment, obviously the place that the mayor said, and the place where he was cursed, were not the same place at all.

"A strange temple in the scorching desert, isn't your curse coming from there?"

The mayor asked curiously.

"No, my curse ......"

Pang Xiaodou recounted the process of the curse in his body to the mayor of the town, there is no need to hide this kind of thing from the NPC, and the mysterious tomb has already been exposed by him.

After speaking, Pang Xiaodou, who was still pressed to the ground by the militiamen, stiffened his neck with difficulty, and said with a smile with low eyebrows: "Mayor, I broke through the checkpoint and attacked your subordinates before, it was all a last resort, I just wanted to find a way to lift the curse, so, for the sake of our fellow sufferers...... You have a lot of old people, so let me go? ”

"What did you find about the curse?"

The mayor did not answer the rhetorical question.

Seeing that the mayor of the town didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, Pang Xiaodou thought about it, and finally nodded and said: "I found a map related to the curse, but in this state, I can't take it out." ”

"Let him get up and talk!"

Hearing this, the mayor finally waved his hand and ordered the militia to retreat.

……

After seeing the [Oracle Bone Map] that Pang Xiaodou obtained in the mysterious tomb in Brute Hammer Mountain, the town mayor said that he had no clue.

However, through the exchange, Pang Xiaodou learned about the detailed process of the curse in the town mayor and others.

It turned out that a few months ago.

The mayor personally led a small group of militia and a group of porters to escort a batch of important supplies through the scorching desert north of the town of Sardinia.

In the scorching desert, they accidentally lost their way and were trapped for more than a week, the water they brought with them was drunk, the food was also exhausted, and even the accompanying camels were forced to slaughter and drink blood and meat, and if they continued like this, they would probably die in the sea of sand.

In this situation, they were lucky enough to stumble into a ruined temple that had never been marked on the map.

The temple was built on a small oasis with an abundance of water and the surrounding plants were covered with ripe fruits that helped them get through it.

So that night, they stayed in the ruined temple to rest.

In the middle of the night, a melodious and ancient song suddenly sounded in the temple, and I searched all the corners, but found no shadow of anyone, and then I listened carefully, only to find that the song seemed to come from the ground.

Some people were frightened, but the mayor was not convinced, and ordered his militia and hired porters to dig.

Eventually, they entered a strange underground palace, and the melodious and ancient song came from the depths of the palace, and now the song was heard more clearly, and it made people's hearts palpitate.

The mayor was about to lead people into the interior to explore, when suddenly a large group of creatures that had never been seen before rushed out of it, this group of creatures was half a meter long, and looked a bit like turtles, with a semicircular hard shell on its back, invulnerable.

But the body underneath is not like a soft-shelled turtle, which has only four claws and soft flesh, but these creatures have eight arthropod-like claws.

In particular, the two claws on the front look very much like the forefeet of a praying mantis, and are so sharp that they can pierce a human chest in one go.

Because this group of creatures came very suddenly, the mayor and the others didn't have time to take precautions at all, and several people died at the hands of this group of creatures in an instant, and the death was terrifying.

Seeing this, the rest of the people hurriedly fled.

Unexpectedly, after escaping from this oasis, they were lucky enough to find the original route, and finally returned to Sardinia alive, and at the same time, they also brought back this two-tailed scorpion pattern left on the back of their right hand, which I don't know what it represented.

A few months passed peacefully, during which the mayor had sent men to the scorching desert to find the oasis and the temple, but it seemed to have evaporated overnight, and no one had ever found it again.

Until two weeks ago, 10 people in the town died suddenly and violently overnight!

The 10 people who died, all of whom had entered the strange temple with him and left a twin-tailed scorpion pattern on the back of his hand, the mayor of the town hurriedly blocked the news and found the old witch doctor in the town as soon as possible.

The old witch doctor didn't know what the twin-tailed scorpion pattern meant, but he was pretty sure it was an ancient and mysterious curse!

Upon hearing this, the mayor panicked, and hurriedly asked the old witch doctor how to break the curse, as well as the reason why the curse on his body did not break out with these dead, and the specific time when this curse broke out.

The old witch doctor just shook his head.

In the end, the mayor had no choice but to use the corpses of the dead to hold an evil ritual of worshipping the heavens according to the method told by the old witch doctor, hoping to be forgiven and break the curse in this way, and at the same time, in order to prevent this relatively bloody ritual from causing panic to the townspeople, he also sent militia to blockade the entire Hammer Mountain......

The wooden stakes and those corpses that Pang Xiaodou saw before were produced in this way.

"But this method of sacrifice obviously didn't work, and as soon as I knew that someone had broken into Brute Hammer Mountain, I immediately sent someone to demolish it...... Hey......"

The mayor looked at the twin-tailed scorpion pattern in his hand, sighed helplessly, and finally ended his story.

“……”

Pang Xiaodou was thoughtful, he didn't care about any heaven sacrifice rituals, he was more concerned about the underground palace under the strange temple, and the strange creatures in the underground palace.

According to the mayor's description, if the judgment is correct, there is a good chance that those creatures are - corpses!
