Chapter 190: Accidental
The brave men in games and novels often encounter some 'accidental' events when they are away from home.
Maybe it's a wild monster that suddenly goes berserk, or maybe it's a boss who occasionally brain-pumps; Maybe it's the sudden appearance of pirates on the stable waterway, or the sudden unsealing of a relic that has been dormant for eight hundred years, in short, one or two events have to pop up to relieve the boredom during the long journey. Not only can it be used to fight monsters and upgrade explosive equipment, but it can also save the world a few times along the way. As for dragging the plot, it's not worth mentioning.
However, after really encountering this kind of incident, Hu Yu, as the party concerned, couldn't laugh at all.
It was a sunny morning, because of the difference in the speed of time, Zhou Heng was still holding a concert in this world, but it was still early in the morning in the other world. This day was the third day that Hu Yu and his party had boarded the magic airship, and the destination of the floating city was almost there. After getting up early in the morning, Hu Yu was staying on the side side of the airship deck to blow the wind, and after staying for a while, he didn't trigger any special plots, and then he was ready to go back to practice combat skills. However, at this moment, the field of vision darkened, and a huge black shadow suddenly shrouded me.
Feeling the sudden approaching magic sense, Hu Yu immediately thought of the strange bird he had encountered in that small starting town not long ago.
The airship was a warship that had been eliminated from decades ago, and many of its magic weapons had been removed, but even then, there was no need to worry about some flying creatures approaching. Airships are equipped with dispel magic fields, and most flying creatures instinctively avoid them; In addition, there is also a giant eagle crossbow of the kingdom standard on the airship, which is enough to deal with most flying creatures. So when the black shadow just passed, Hu Yu didn't reflexively want to avoid it.
Now Hu Yu. It's no longer the fledgling little warrior of yesteryear. Even if you encounter that strange bird again. Hu Yu is not afraid - although Hu Yu is only an intermediate warrior now, but along the way, Hu Yu has completed a lot of 'tasks', and he has grabbed a lot of luxurious equipment and rare skills, and his strength is not inferior to that of ordinary high-level fighters, and the speed of progress is so smooth that even Hu Yu himself feels a little incredible. It's just a random mob, so naturally I won't take it seriously. Thinking about why the airship would let such a monster approach, Hu Yu pulled out his weapon and prepared to fight.
However. It wasn't what he imagined. After Hu Yu subconsciously pulled out his sword and put on a defensive posture, the expected attack did not come. The monster's magic sense was fleeting, but the black shadow that shrouded it did not disperse, but continued to spread, and soon covered the entire airship.
Is it just clouds in general?
I just felt a strange wave of magic power, where did it come from? Hu Yu looked up and discovered the truth about the enemy.
In the game, the big monster bird is just a monster slightly larger than the player, but in reality, it has become an extremely dangerous giant monster; So how big will the cursed dragon be in the game? Hu Yu can see it clearly now.
Above the head. A dark shadow was sweeping through the clear sky. Although it was still far away, it looked like a dark cloud that obscured the sun. But that unique silhouette and momentum still made Hu Yu recognize it at the first time.
The monster with its wings unfurled obscured the clouds, and music and black mist were filling the air. After rubbing his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, Hu Yu immediately reacted, this is the cursed dragon!
Realizing the identity of the enemy, Hu Yu was speechless on the spot, but some of the other passengers who saw the cursed dragon didn't realize what monster they saw in front of their eyes. According to the 'setting', the cursed dragon has been hidden in the chaos for hundreds of years, and if it weren't for the fact that there are still some remaining believers on the continent who are still active, most people would have forgotten about this monster. It wasn't until the game started that the monster belatedly reappeared on the continent - and even the way to deal with its curse, which had been researched a hundred years ago, was remembered only by the reclusive sages.
The other passengers around didn't realize what a terrifying monster they had encountered, and some pointed at them on the spot, while others were ready to inform the captain to be on guard. After Hu Yu reacted, he shouted, "This is the cursed dragon!" Make the captain turn around! ”
The name of the cursed dragon, some people have never heard of it. In the chaos, Hu Yu's shouting had no effect, but fortunately, the cursed dragon did not land. After skimming over the airship, it disappeared into the distant sky.
Looking at the shadow of the cursed dragon flying away, Hu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, he realized another problem—he had just been swept by the shadow of the cursed dragon, right?
In the confusion, several partners also crowded over.
After seeing him, little Karl said, "Hu Yu, we just heard someone say that this is the cursed dragon. ”
"I said it." Hu Yu didn't hide it, and asked directly, "Do you know?" ”
Like most people, the rest of Arya, including Arya, didn't even know about it. Only little Carl seemed to have heard a little bit of relevant information, so he came to ask Hu Yu.
Hu Yu explained to them the information about the cursed dragon, and then quickly reported to the captain under the pretext that he sent them away, little Carl is a nobleman, it should be easier to speak at this time, and took the opportunity to hide in a corner with Arya to open the 'system', and sure enough, a state appeared in his status bar, called 'Shadow Curse'.
In the game, this state is said to be set to prevent the player from hanging up, but I didn't expect the same thing in the Atlas. I still remember that when the game was updated half a year ago, Hu Yu himself was swept by the cursed dragon, and then this curse was imposed; The effect of the Curse of Shadows in the game is that the player will not be able to gain experience and money for two days, and if they cannot break the curse after two days, they will be hunted down by the followers of the Cursed Dragon.
So what happens in the Otherworld? Can't get experience from the system yourself? Hu Yu is not sure, because the system only shows a state here; The game will prompt the player of the specific effect of this curse, but in the system, the introduction is only three question marks. At the same time, Hu Yu also clearly felt the subtle difference brought about by the curse. A bad aura of magic lingered around him, as if he was being watched by some invisible eye.
