Under the slightly dazzling bright light, Yu Siqi's eyes gradually adapted to see where he was.

It's a forest, and it's a forest that always proclaims death and ominousness.

Right in front of them, in what looked like an entrance, there was a large pile of dead branches detached from the tree. At the end of each branch, a long-dried bird corpse hangs.

If you look closely, you'll even notice that the birds have their eyes gouged out.

And not far to their left, there is a stream that constantly flows bright red blood. It seems that the blood under them is overflowing precisely because there is a gap in the stream somewhere.

"Eyeless bird carcasses, weeping bloody streams. Could this be the only one that remains in the legendary 'Festering Forest'? ”

Father Ann muttered to himself.

"It's really like that, I guess this is the infamous ghost place, right? Haha, who would have thought that we would find this legendary place by mistake. ”

When Setas saw the whole view of this place, not only did he not panic in any way, but instead smiled with joy.

"Don't rejoice too soon, Setas. If everything is as the legend says, then in the depths of this forest, there must be an abomination. ”

Father Ann said, staring at the entrance with a serious face.

"You mean Ling Xi the Apostate? Hmph, if I could see him, I would take my lord's place and scatter him to ashes. ”

Setas clenched his fists and swung a few times into the air in front of him.

His few swings not only made Yu Siqi unable to fully capture the movements, but also caused (literally) a 'catastrophe' to the low grass in front of him.

For the next period of time, Yu Siqi followed in the footsteps of Father An and followed the path that was not easy to follow, and entered the depths of the forest.

During this process, Qu Guang beside him was unexpectedly silent.

Even Yu Siqi's initiative to ask questions was difficult to receive any complete response from him.

Although Yu Siqi was a little concerned about this, he was still attracted by Father An's new discovery.

It turned out that during the time when Siqi was focused on communicating with Qu Guang, Father An and the others had reached the end of the road.

At this moment, in front of them was an incomparably large and incomparably ugly statue.

Its twisted features make it almost impossible to see if it is gender-specific, and its thick upper body is wrapped around some kind of living vine. As for its lower body, it is full of strange and brightly colored mushrooms. Some will even glow with an eerie phosphorescent glow in your eyes under your constant gaze.

"It seems like there's no way out."

Setas circumvented the statue and found that there was nothing but one ancient tree after another behind it, and nothing else in sight, let alone a path for a man to walk on.

"Do you really think so, Setas?"

Father Ann said, pointing directly below the statue.

"Do you mean that the statue is blocking the way down?"

Setas was reminded by Father Ann and immediately understood.

"It's pretty simple to prove this hypothesis. The problem is that the other party knows that this will not be enough to completely dissuade the client, but still does it. The reason for this is probably more related to this statue. ”

As soon as Father Ann had finished speaking, the living vines stretched out their vines to him.

"Carving insect skills!"

Setas directly replaced the knife with his palm and swung it towards the rattans.

In an instant, countless rattans were cut into pieces by his hand knife.

The remaining vines seemed to be aware of their damage and began to shrink towards the interior of the statue.

Immediately afterward, the upper part of the statue, like the vine itself, came to life. fate

It first raised its head to the sky and let out an inhuman roar, causing Father An and the others to cover their ears desperately. Then, taking advantage of the gap when they couldn't even stand on their heels, he began to use his huge arms to smash indiscriminately at the area where they were standing.

The process continued until the ground completely collapsed into a large crater, and the statue paused for a moment, surveying the smoke-filled surroundings with its reddened pupils.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the thick smoke.

It's Setas.

I saw him quickly flash to the waist of the statue, and swung his fist at it that had no time to defend, and while making these movements, he also appropriately shouted, "Just a demon puppet, you want to hurt me too?" ”

"Don't be impulsive, Setas!"

When Father Ann came out of the smoke, he not only coughed but also said sobering words.

It's a pity that there is no way for Setas to stop.

As his own fist officially struck the statue's waist, the upper body of the statue suddenly shook very violently. It is worth mentioning that in such a fierce battle, Yu Siqi barely saw the lower body of the statue and had no reaction.

This had to make him think a little too much.

Sure enough, just when Siqi was just a little puzzled, the upper body of the statue and its lower body were separated without warning.

Then, Yu Siqi saw that Setas was wrapped around the lower body of the statue with those vines because of the sudden extra part.

Although Father Ann quickly tried to rescue him when he saw this situation, he was stopped by the upper body of the statue. I could only watch as the lower body of the statue brought Setas, who was still struggling, into the ground.

For a moment, in addition to hearing the roar of Setas, Yu Siqi could also hear the sound of Father Ann fighting hard there.

Because of this level of fighting, Yu Siqi not only can't help (in fact, he can't help if he wants to); It was very difficult to even watch the battle with his own eyes (mainly because Father An's speed was indeed a bit amazing, so that he couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements at all).

So he turned his head directly to Qu Guang, wanting to ask this guy what he had to say.

Fortunately, at this time, Qu Guang, who had been silent for a long time, was finally willing to have 'normal communication' with him. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Siqi.

After all, leaving him alone in such an indescribably strange environment is still easy for people to think crankily and then have a nervous breakdown.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I've been trying to dispel the gloom in my heart just now."

Qu Guang politely apologized to Siqi, and the black smoke-like figure even made a bowing image.

"And how did you get it done?"

Yu Siqi asked casually, this Father Hui'an had completely suppressed the upper body of the statue. For the rest, it is estimated that it is only time.

"It's not very good, but it's enough for me to keep my reason and wisdom for a while. If you really want to solve all this, I'm afraid you have to continue to dig into this memory to see what the source of the curse is. ”

Qu Guang let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"What are you going to do after you find the source?"

Yu Siqi asked with a serious face.

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, it is eliminated in the purest way. ”

When Qu Guang said this, his body turned into a big fist for a while.

"You're going to make a move?"

Yu Siqi was a little surprised by this.

"If nothing else, I'll do it. After all, there's no way I'm going to let someone like you, who is seriously lacking in combat power, stand up for me, right? ”

As soon as Qu Guang's words were finished, Yu Siqi's heart was a little unwilling.

But when he thought about it, it was precisely because of his 'incompetence' that he was fortunate enough to see Qu Guang's ability, which didn't seem to be a bad thing.
