The screams and horrors rose and fell to each other, and in just a few seconds, more than half of the more than 300 adventurers had their heads exploded, and all of them turned into headless corpses and fell.

The smell of blood filled the surroundings for a moment, and a few timid guys even fainted with a roll of their eyes.

The same thing happened to a few unlucky people around Ruan Chi, and their heads exploded without warning, as if a bomb had been buried in their heads and exploded, and the blood mixed with brain pulp almost splashed all over his body.

A corpse close to Rachel fell right on top of her, and her brains splashed her face, and it took her a moment to react, and her mouth jumped away with a sharp scream.

For a while, the people who were still alive fell into chaos, everyone pushed and shoved each other, called each other, and finally many people fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Calm down, everybody!"

Finally, someone finally stood up, but I didn't expect it to be Mahe, although his appearance looked a bit like a boy's brother, I didn't expect to be fearless, as the leader of this adventure group, he organized everyone to walk away from the dead body, and at the same time asked people to move those who fainted to the side.

Ruan Chi also gradually recovered from this change, he hugged the frightened Betty in his arms, where had the cat eared girl ever seen such a terrifying and strange thing, and when he left, he glanced at the corpses of those adventurers on the ground, and couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet, and his scalp was numb.

These people were obviously still alive just now......

These people can obviously talk just now......

Why did you die all of a sudden?

Such a terrifying situation made Betty block her head like a paste and couldn't think, so she could only subconsciously hug Ruan Chi. The surviving adventurers next to him were also terrified. My whole body trembled, and I couldn't speak at all.

Ruan Chi whispered a few words to reassure Betty. Then turn your attention to everyone's heads. Although so many people had died at once, he had instead sensed some strange things about the curse of the temple ruins.

In Ruan Chi's vision, the surviving people still had the "inflated" debuff on their heads, but the number of seconds displayed on the icon was constantly decreasing.

Ruan Chi also looked at the number of seconds of the icon on his head, and sure enough, it also changed from 300 seconds to 267 seconds, and it continued to decrease.

266,265,264……

"It seems that this is the case, and this 'inflated' debuff is the body of the curse, when the seconds become 0. A person's head will explode. ”

Ruan Chi recalled the moment when the person next to him died just now, his head swelled like a balloon, and finally exploded, a huge damage figure floated up, and his own person died.

"This curse is a time-bomb-like magic, but it's weird, it seems like everyone's seconds are different." Ruan Chi deliberately looked at Rachel and Guldia's heads, and found that one of them had 404 seconds left and the other 192.

There is also Deep Blue, and the body she is now possessed by is the elven queen Sifarif, a god-level elemental mage. Although it was also inevitable to be cursed, that second was actually 1722 seconds.

Could it be related to the level of the character?

To prove the idea. Ruan Chi immediately threw the reconnaissance technique at the next few adventurers who had fewer seconds left, and the result was that a level 26 adventurer now had 98 seconds, and a level 34 adventurer had 140 seconds left.

Obviously, the effect of the curse is different for everyone, the stronger the person is to the curse, the stronger the resistance to the curse, and those who died just now are the weakest of all the adventurers here, and their resistance to the curse is generally only a dozen seconds or even a few seconds, so they will die as soon as they step into the ruins.

After coming to a conclusion, Ruan Chi hurriedly shouted at Rachel and Guldia beside him, "Come here and grab my hand." ”

Rachel and Guldia also had a little ugly faces, they didn't realize they were cursed, the unknown is always the scariest, and now they are just as afraid.

"What are you going to do?"

"Do as I say, and make sure you're okay."

Hearing Ruan Chi say this, Rachel felt that the fear in her heart suddenly disappeared a lot, she pursed her lips, and inadvertently squeezed Ruan Chi's palm.

Ruan Chi planned to try to use his supernatural abilities to remove this curse, but since the range of atheism was only about 5 meters in diameter, he could only let them come closer.

"Okay, stay like this."

After having Betty, Rachel, and Guldia all stand beside him, Ruan Chi quietly opened his absolute realm, and an invisible energy quickly spread.

Ruan Chi immediately looked up at everyone's heads, and found that after the atheism was activated, the debuff icon on everyone's heads had indeed disappeared, but this disappearance time was very short, only about 2 seconds, and after these 2 seconds, a system prompt popped up in front of him again.

System: You trigger "Inflate" for 300 seconds.

Seeing this, Ruan Chi frowned, it seems that although atheism can eliminate the curse, as long as they stay in the ruins, this curse will keep triggering repeatedly.

The only good thing is that the seconds are recalculated after the curse that was removed is retriggered.

Knowing this, Ruan Chi immediately said to Rachel and the others: "Listen, from now on, you must stay by my side at all times and not go too far. ”

Although they didn't understand why Ruan Chi said this, the ruins of this Quetzalcoatl God's temple were too terrifying, and they all nodded in unison.

On the other side, Maher just organized a few bold people to count the number of people, and a few poor guys in the middle covered their heads and died with a "bang", counting these people, the number of people whose heads were blown off just now was 173 people, and now there are only 127 people left alive, that is to say, the people who died just now because of the curse are the worst guys among all adventurers.

"Shall we get out of here? So many people died before the mission even started, what would happen if you went inside? Looking at the slaughterhouse-like corpses, one of the adventurers shouted.

The smell of blood that killed those people was too strong. Plus the horror of death. The thought of quitting rose in the hearts of most people. However, a few people were reluctant to leave because they thought that people would die for money and birds would die for food.

The reward for this task released by the Platinum Group this time is very rich, as long as it is completed, each person can get a reward of 500 gold, which many people will not be able to earn back in their lifetime.

In the face of objections, Maher also took the lead in letting these people make a choice, and in the end 30 people said they would quit, leaving 97 people behind.

Ruan Chi deliberately looked at the heads of those who had withdrawn. After they left the ruins, the debuff icon they were wearing then disappeared, which made Ruan Chi even more sure that the scope of the curse was limited to this ruin.

The number of people who came suddenly plummeted by half, and Mach also felt that it didn't matter, anyway, in his eyes, those who died and those who left were wine bags and rice bags, and it didn't matter at all.

The remaining 97 people followed Mach through that entrance into the ruins, and since there was no light inside, everyone took out torches and lit them. There are also magical adventurers who can cast lighting spells and the like.

The pitch-black corridor of the ruins suddenly became brightly lit, and Ruan Chi pulled Betty along the ground of the ruins. It was found that there were many artificially excavated painting walls on the walls, on which were carved with various lifelike figures.

"Then again, this is not the ancient tomb complex of the Newkarn Kingdom, why is there a temple of Quetzalcoatl?" As we were advancing, a few adventurers in front of me were whispering.

"I heard that this tomb complex was built by a nobleman who worshipped Quetzalcoatl in the Kingdom of Newcard, so there is such a temple."

"The aristocracy actually believes in false gods? Did I hear me right? ”

"You heard it right, the kingdom of Newkarn did have a long time of worshipping Quetzalcoatl, and this is clearly recorded in the epic."

"No wonder this country will fall and it has not yet fully recovered, it must be the punishment of the gods for their belief in false gods."

……

Listening to the voices of the two people discussing, Ruan Chi carefully noticed the paintings on the wall, which indeed had some patterns praising the god Quetzalcoatl, as well as various bloody offerings, which made people shudder at first glance.

As he walked, the person in front suddenly stopped, and Ruan Chi had to follow suit, because the line was too long, and he didn't know what was going on until someone in front of him passed down the words all the way.

It turned out that there was a fork in the road at the end of the road, and Mach asked everyone to divide into two teams. The content of this mission requires everyone to find a treasure in the ruins that has been handed down from the ancient times of the Newkarn Kingdom, so it is the quickest way to find it separately.

After the 97 people were separated, it became about forty or fifty people per team, and Ruan Chi's 38 Women's Association happened to be assigned to a group with Mach, because the number of people decreased, Ruan Chi also saw Huang Rong and Guo Jing in front of the team.

Their level was already very high, and the debuff icon on their heads lasted more than 500 seconds, but what made Ruan Chi feel strange was that their seconds were actually reduced slower than others.

There is also that Mach, his seconds are even more amazing, there are more than 800, and the speed of the second reduction is the same as Guo Jing and Huang Rong, which is very slow, almost less than one-fifth of others.

Guo Jing also saw Ruan Chi at the back of the team, and took the initiative to wave his hand, still with a sincere smile on his face, while Huang Rong glared at Ruan Chi, with a diametrically opposite attitude.

Ruan Chi didn't have time to care about the provocation of this flat-chested little girl, but touched his chin and looked at them with a strange expression, "It doesn't make sense, they shouldn't be able to find out about the curse, why can they slow down the speed of the reduction of seconds?" ”

Thinking about it, Ruan Chi's eyes fell on the woman in the white dress with a transcendent temperament, Guo Jing and Huang Rong both called her Sister Yinong, Ruan Chi also used reconnaissance techniques to scout her, but it was all a hint of failure.

This woman's level should be very high, maybe she is a master above the king level, is there any other way for her to slow down the effect of the Quetzalcoatl curse on the human body?

Just when Ruan Chi was in doubt, someone in the team suddenly covered his head and shouted, his expression was painful, the skin on his head began to swell and crack, and then seven mouths of blood flowed.

Ruan Chi noticed that the number of seconds on the man's head had reached 0, and the icon representing the debuff "Expansion" was flashing, as if the time bomb was ready to explode.

"Ahh......h Help me......"

The man let out a low roar of pain at the end, and his head swelled to twice its normal size, and then exploded with a "bang", and a large amount of blood splattered out of it.

"Glendu!?"

A few adventurers rushed forward as soon as possible, but they were greeted by a headless corpse.

Ruan Chi recognized these people, just like the just dead Grandou, they were all members of the Sword of Kings Adventure Group, Ruan Chi had scouted their information, and their strength was very good, all above level 40.

Seeing that someone had died again, Ma He's face also became gloomy, while Huang Rong and Guo Jing looked at Li Yinong, "Sister Yinong, they will all die if they continue like this." ”

Hearing the pleading words of the two, Li Yinong sighed lightly and walked in front of the adventurers, then raised his staff and chanted an incomprehensible incantation.

"Purifying Mantra!"

Ruan Chi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, because the content of the spell that Li Yinong chanted was not the common language or term spell of the mainland when ordinary miracle mainland magicians chanted magic, but the language of Ruan Chi's world Huaxia country.

Do they know Huaxia? Are they really from Earth?

Ruan Chi was in a state of panic, his eyes happened to collide with Li Yinong, who had finished casting the spell, and a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of this fairy-like woman, but she quickly avoided Ruan Chi's gaze and pretended to be nothing.

"Listen, I've already cast a spell on you just now, which can temporarily suppress that evil will and make the curse onset last for about an hour, but when my magic fails, your head will explode like this person, so you can stay in this ruin for about an hour." Li Yinong said to those adventurers.

The group of adventurers who were cast looked at each other, and someone exclaimed: "It seems to be true, I feel that the faint cold that has been wrapped around my forehead since just now has disappeared, and now the whole person is also a lot more comfortable." ”

"So you feel that way, too?"

"Yes, there's always been a chill on my forehead, but it's very faint and hard to detect."

After figuring out the cause of the explosion of those head bombs, the adventurers here were obviously relieved, and at the same time thanked Li Yinong.

"It is worthy of condemning eleven people, and even this curse of the Quetzalcoatl God can be removed." A dark-skinned man walked out of the Sword of Kings adventure group and bowed to Li Yinong.

"Captain Hank is polite, the little woman is not yet able to remove this curse, but only suppresses it temporarily." Li Yinong said, looked around the ruins in front of him again, and then said in a deep voice: "This ruins of the Quetzalcoatl God have always been entangled with an evil will, it is secretly cursing you, my Pure Heart Curse can only be used on the same person once, so everyone should be careful next."
