Chapter 9: Breaking the Curse
Half an hour ago, Yu Zhang and the fourth son, Xiao Ju, were huddled in a cave and lit a fire, hoping to resist the sudden cold at night.
Yu Zhang is naturally not afraid of these cold, but Xiao Ju, as an ordinary person who has lost all his spiritual power, is still a little unbearable.
The flames brought warmth, but also some uninvited guests.
Outside the cave, countless sounds of rustling sounded, and Yu Zhang didn't need to look to know that it must be the sound of an extremely large number of spirit beasts crossing the dense bushes.
When Xiao Ju heard this, he looked a little flustered and frightened, he tiptoed to the entrance of the cave, glanced out, and sat down on the ground in fright.
Outside the cave were dense patches of small fireballs, like the scarlet eyes of many bats, shining coldly in the darkness.
Those are the flaming ant colonies that burn fire on their tentacles.
Xiao Ju's current mind is no different from that of an eight-year-old child, he was obviously very frightened when he saw this situation, and rushed behind Yu Zhang, and with the help of Yu Zhang's body, he hid.
Yu Zhang pulled him out of his back with one hand, looked at his frightened eyes, and asked solemnly, "You, do you want to become stronger?"
Xiao Ju was panicked at this time, and his mind was chaotic, but when he heard the word "stronger", the cloudiness in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "Can you be strong enough to defeat those monsters outside?"
Yu Chang smiled bitterly, and said in a gentle tone against children: "Don't talk about those monsters outside, even the most ferocious monsters in the world will not be your opponent." ”
Xiao Hao's eyes widened and he asked, "Really?"
"Really. Yu Zhang nodded slightly.
"Then I... I want to get stronger!" Xiao Ju said with a pretentious attitude.
"That's what you want!" Yu Zhang's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he slashed at his neck, directly knocking him unconscious.
Then Yu Zhang lay the fainting Xiao Hao flat on the ground, and his hands were sealed.
"Receive - Soul of the Immortal!"
Suddenly, the temperature in the cave rose sharply, and a burning sensation spread.
At this time, Yu Zhang's appearance changed again.
His eyebrows and hair were a mixture of golden and fiery red, and some golden hairs grew between his cheeks.
On the back of his hand, a lot of gold and red feathers also grew, and his nails became sharp, like a half-orc.
He shook it with one hand and said lightly:
"Holy Flame, Flame of Immortal Birds!"
A golden and red flame suddenly burned out of his palm, raising the temperature of the surroundings a notch again.
There was still a trace of white smoke rising from all around the flames, and even the very little water vapor in the air was burned out by it, and its power could be seen.
And the destructive power of this flame was so terrifying that Yu Zhang actually wanted to bring it close to Xiao Hao's head.
If such a hot flame is attached to the human body, the result can be imagined, that is, it will be burned to ashes.
Yu Zhang's hand held the flame of the immortal bird, approaching Xiao Juri little by little, and did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
When he was a finger away from his ear, Yu Chang finally stopped.
But his next move was even more terrifying.
He blew lightly on the flame in his ear, and it actually blew it into Xiao Hao's ear!
And what went in was not all the flames. I saw a golden flame separated from the flame of the immortal bird, leaving a red flame behind.
The golden flame of life, the red flame of destruction.
Jin Yan entered his ears with the wind, and Yu Zhang immediately closed his eyes and sealed, concentrating all his energy and mind to control the golden flame that entered Xiao Yu's brain.
At this time, Yu Zhang's mind was already attached to that golden flame, and the scene in Xiao Zhang's mind was unobstructed in Yu Zhang's eyes.
At first, due to Xiao Hori's lethargy, his brain was dark. But the advent of Jin Yan directly illuminated most of the minds.
Yu Zhang wandered aimlessly in his mind for a while, but still didn't find what he was looking for.
He yelled in his head, "Get out!"
For a while, there was no response.
Yu Zhang was slightly angry, urging more spiritual power and pouring it into Jin Yan.
I saw that the golden flame swelled suddenly, emitting a more dazzling light, like a small sun, shining into every shadow.
"Zizizi..."
The sound of something burning suddenly sounded from a dark corner of his head, and Yu Zhang hurriedly urged Jin Yan to go over and take a look, where he saw a black maggot-like creature.
The black maggot was full of black gas, polluting and poisoning the minds around him.
But at this time, under the light of the Holy Flame, it writhed its body extremely uncomfortably, and its whole body became red and transparent, obviously burned not lightly.
"So it's what you're doing..."Yu Zhang chuckled, and then Jin Yan rushed forward, the maggot still wanted to escape, but Jin Yan was faster, and in the blink of an eye, he chased after it, wrapped its entire body, and burned it alive.
Before the maggot died, it erupted into an extremely ugly scream. When it died, its body exploded, spewing out a poisonous mist, and it wanted to make trouble.
But as soon as this mass of poison appeared, it was burned into nothingness by Jin Yan, and it could no longer continue to harm people.
Yu Zhang carefully drove Jin Yan again, and used Jin Yan's recovery and purification power to purify those damaged brain domains that had been polluted for a long time.
After doing this, he slowly retreated.
Yu Zhang pondered: "It's really a curse." ”
Curses are extremely rare, and at the same time extremely vicious.
One of the most common techniques used in curse art is to borrow spirit animals such as poisonous insects to affect the victim's body.
And the higher the level of the poisonous insect, the higher the intensity of the curse, the black maggot parasitic in Xiao Ju's brain has already reached the level of a fourth-order spirit beast, and it is extremely hidden, if it weren't for Yu Zhang's immortal bird flame that has the evil thing of heaven, it would be really difficult to find.
I have to say that the person who placed this curse is really very vicious, so that the victim can't survive and can't die.
Yu Zhang thought to himself, I'm afraid that this maggot is not just polluting the brain domain, Xiao Ju has even lost his cultivation, and this curse must also affect the meridians and dantian.
Yu Zhang probed his meridians again, although they looked normal on the surface, but once they were burned with Jin Yan, large areas of black infection appeared in the meridians, which looked extremely terrifying.
"What a ruthless heart!" Yu Zhang smacked his lips and exclaimed.
The pollution has reached this level, it must have been cursed when Xiao Ju was still young, and he shot at a child, and the person who cursed was really ruthless.
But just like that, Yu Zhangbian couldn't let that person get his way.
Yu Zhang sent a spiritual power into Xiao Hao's body, shaking him awake. With the curse gone, he should have almost recovered his sanity.
When Xiao Ju woke up, he felt that his head was hot and painful, but at the same time, there was also a sense of clarity, which filled the entire brain domain, which was the result of all the pollution being purified.
He held his head for a long time before he slowly recovered. The years of being bound by the curse in the past are still haunting my memories like nightmares.
He slammed the rock in the cave with both hands, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
At this time, he was really a child, and he wanted to cry out loud about the grievances of many years.
But he gritted his teeth, endured it, and didn't cry.
"Thank you. With a crying voice, he turned his head to Yu Zhang and thanked him.
Yu Zhang nodded, then turned around and went out, leaving him alone in the cave for a while.
A very large number of flame ant colonies had gathered outside the cave, and during the time that Yu Zhang was treating Xiao Ju, those flame ants had already crawled to the entrance of the cave, and they couldn't wait to rush into the cave to bite their prey.
Flame ants are afraid of the sun, and the purifying power that Jin Yan possesses, which is the same as the divine power in the sun, is the thing that the evil creatures fear the most.
Yu Zhang stood at the door of the cave, looked around at the many flame ant spirit beasts, had a plan, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you for sending it to the door, here, there is just a shortage of materials..."
