Chapter 526: Curse or Will It Be Fulfilled?
"Let's hope these locusts don't attack living creatures and eat meat......
Even in the past, locusts were herbivorous insects, but they were not without examples of eating meat, and they had eaten other insects when they were very hungry, and even ate meat from bones discarded by people.
Although it was a bit of a struggle to come here, due to the entanglement between the psychic technique and Dokler's mental fluctuations, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the vicinity of Dokler's caravan.
Here, the atmosphere is lively.
Docler, along with the chief of the guard and Veta, had dinner at the house of the most respected man in the village.
There were no extra side dishes for dinner, just a vat-shaped cauldron on a stone fence fire with vents at the bottom and holes for adding firewood.
The pot is filled with meat and bones, as well as a fibrous food and the indispensable core dish, and the cauldron is full of aromas.
The table is a kind of small low table, made up of two semicircles, with a large cauldron in the middle, a group of people sitting on a cushion around the table, a hardwood bowl on the table is full of hot soup and vegetable meat, holding steaming bread in hand, eating vegetables and soup to eat cakes, while eating and chatting quite atmosphere.
To be honest, even Qin Xiaoxia has a lot of interest in this pot of broth, which is more like a big stew.
They chatted with each other about what they had seen and heard in the world, and they also talked about this year's harvest.
"By the way, Mudrin, did you know that in the direction of your north, a lot of woodland has been eaten away?"
Dockler filled his stomach first, and finally asked the question.
"Gnawed it all?"
The older Mudrin didn't seem to have understood.
"It's just that the trees and grass are all eaten, and there's no green left. ”
The chief of the guard added.
"Oh, I don't know, the markets are in the towns to the south, and we rarely go through the wilderness to the north. ”
"Yes, but I'll tell you, it's very evil over there now, and I don't know what has eaten up the woodland, by the way!"
Doing thought of something, and pulled a small wooden box from the pocket of his clothes.
"Look at this. ”
With a flip of both hands, the small wooden box was opened with a "click", and inside were several locust shells of different sizes.
"I suspect that the plants were eaten by these bugs, but then they were eaten by something else, and we found a lot of these empty corpses along the way!"
"This bug!"
Mudrin had apparently seen this, and he took out the largest and most resembling locust shell from Dockler's box.
"I've seen this kind of bug, and recently we've occasionally caught it, and it's so ferocious that it takes a lot of force to knock it to death with a stick, it's scary!
Dockler nodded.
"Dead, and we've seen a lot of these dead bugs, I guess you're seeing escaping bugs, most of which have been eaten by something else!"
God is a special "running bug", Qin Xiaoxia watched them analyze it on the side, and he was also drunk when he analyzed the locusts as victims.
Let's remind them that the method is also available.
Dockler on the side was drinking hot after chatting, when he suddenly felt that his body was hot, and then it became more and more wrong.
"Hiss!! so hot!!"
He ripped the clothes off his chest and pulled something out of a chain.
"Jingle bell~", and the crystal accessory fell on Dockler's table.
The faint light of the fire under the pot shines so brightly that the accessories reflect the brilliant light, and at a glance you know that they are priceless things.
"What's wrong, boss?" "Are you alright, Lord Dockler?"
Docker rubbed his chest, his hands still feeling a rush of heat, and then carefully ripped off his shirt.
"This thing has just suddenly become very hot, I guess it's almost burning my skin...... Huh!"
The skin inside the inner lining is very smooth, neither red nor swollen, let alone burned, not even a single scratch.
"Strange... It was very hot just now... I feel like I'm going to get burned..."
Docler looked at this ornament suspiciously, the two guards and the villagers too, of course, the villagers were shocked by this beautiful treasure, and looked at it strangely.
He reached over and touched it, and immediately reflexively retracted.
"Hiss~~Oh!! it's so hot!!"
While shaking his hand, he continued to look at his fingers in the firelight, but it still didn't hurt and the burning sensation disappeared immediately.
"I'll take a look!"
The captain of the guard cautiously reached over, and based on Dogler's past, the caravan people trusted him very much.
"Be careful, it..."
Before Docker could finish reminding him, he saw the chief of the guard also withdraw his hand and come back, and also look for burns on his hand.
"It's really hot!"
"I'll tell you!"
"This gem has never changed much, what's going on?"
Dockler was still wondering, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong with the gem.
"Boss, this gem seems to be emitting a faint light, but I can't see it clearly!"
Weta made the same discovery.
"Mudrin, put out the fire first!"
"Oh, good, good!"
The stunned old Mudrin hurriedly took out an iron lid from the side, and his son on the other side borrowed an iron hook to pick up the cauldron, and the old Mudrin hurriedly put the iron lid against the center of the stone fence.
The fire in the room was extinguished at once, but it did not immediately plunge into darkness, because the crystal accessories were emitting a faint glow.
"Really, really glowing!"
Docler was amazed, how much should this treasure be worth!
"The unwilling curser...... Greedy Summoner...... The tyrannical supplicant...... Invite the plague of darkness...... The yellowish-gray devourer is eternally hungry... Smoke and fire are weapons against them......"
A deep and peculiar voice reverberated sparsely in the room, and what should not have been understood could be understood in my heart.
After being transmitted three times, the sound that seemed to ring in my ears and in my heart at the same time gradually disappeared.
However, the faces of the seven or eight big and small people in the room were sluggish and frightened, and Qin Xiaoxia didn't know if this group of guys understood it, as long as they saw the locust swarm, they should be able to understand.
Dockler was the first to react, looking left and right at the faces of the people next to him.
"You heard the voice just now, it was from this gem!"
He cautiously reached out and touched it, and found that the heat of the gem had subsided, and then kept touching the tableware with his hand and stirring the crystal accessory, as if to make sure that the thing was alive.
"What did it say, and why does it feel so bad?"
Weta cautiously replied, and Docler casually answered.
"Because it's a very bad thing. ”
There were suspicious people here, but Qin Xiaoxia had already sensed the flow of the locust swarm, and it was obvious that they had eaten up the things just now.
"Buzz Buzz ......" "Buzz ......"
Soon, even in the house, the people of the village began to hear an irritating hum and opened the doors to see what was happening.
Docler also carried the crystal accessories that were no longer hot and came out with everyone.
Naturally, they looked to the northern skies.
At this time, it was the time when the solar star was about to rest, but the afterglow of the sun should still be relatively visible, and the dimness in the house was only that the cold-proof wooden doors and windows were too tight and did not have enough light.
But now it makes people feel that the night is beginning to fall early, and the villagers and caravan people look up at the sky, and although they don't see very specifically, they can see a rough idea that makes people's scalps tingle.
The sky was densely covered with a yellowish gray that obscured the sun-sizing stars of dusk, all of which were the sound of buzzing wings.
Like dust and flowing smoke, it is more like an open and terrifying hand, and it is slowly pressing down, and the whole village is extremely oppressed.
They had never seen anything like it, and a sense of suffocation rose with unease.
The crystal accessories in Dockler's hands were starting to heat up again, but this time it wasn't hot.
He shuddered a little, not only because he thought of the strange reminder he had just made, but also because he suddenly remembered another thing.
When he first bought the crystal accessory, the ruffian who sold it to him told a story about a magical creature from beyond who was burned to death by the church and set a curse before dying......
